No Money Hack: Triangulation Deals

James Schramko has apparently “built a $100,000+/month business while working just 25 hours a week.”

On episode 577 of the Smart Passive Income podcast, James talks about a way to get started in business when you have no money. He calls it a Triangulation Deal 🔺

Paraphrasing James explaining how he used this to learn marketing and gain valuable experience…

I went to a car repair shop and I told them, “I can help you grow your business and I’m going to need some materials for it. So if you could buy me these resources, I will go through them and then I’ll apply them to your business.”

I bought several hundred dollars worth of Dan Kennedy books at the time. And then I wrote up a plan and I did the marketing… which was ultimately worth millions of dollars to the repair shop.

Is there a course or resource you’d love to access but can’t afford?

Who might be willing to “sponsor” your access in return for you applying what you learn to their business? 🤔

Leaving you with a quote from James Schramko on that aforementioned SPI podcast…

If you’re always putting out fires, then you are the arsonist 🔥
