Episode 15 - Turn your Service into a Product

This episode discusses Products vs. Services and some of the differences between them, such as how you usually pay for Products in advance, but you pay for Services after they've been rendered. So how can you change your Translation service into a product? The books I mention are: The E-myth revisited, by Michael Gerber: http://www.amazon.com/The-E-Myth-Revisited-Small-Businesses/dp/0887307280?&linkCode=wsw&tag=dumage-20 Built to Sell, by John Warrillow: http://www.amazon.com/Built-Sell-Creating-Business-Without/dp/1591845823?&linkCode=wsw&tag=dumage-20 The Chicken and Egg video I mention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0dFD8e3vn4 *** If you click on these links I provide to purchase the books on Amazon, the price does not change for you, but Amazon gives me a (small) percentage of your purchase, and these small amounts allow me to continue broadcasting. So I would appreciate your clicking on these links when you make your purchase!
