Why You Shouldn’t Share Income Information 
April 01, 2019

In episode #974, we discuss why you shouldn’t publicly share income information. Tune in to hear the dangers of being so forthcoming.

We have committed to throwing a FREE Marketing School Live Event in Los Angeles, once Marketing School reaches 1M downloads in a 30 day period. Take action: Rate, review, subscribe, and SHARE. Check the progress here!

TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:

  • [00:27] Today’s Topic: Why You Shouldn’t Share Income Information
  • [00:53] When things are going well for you and you share the details of your income, people will begin copying your methods.
  • [01:05] You only invite competition and resentment.
  • [01:25] Once, Eric referred a customer onto someone else.
  • [01:38] He then got sued because the customer felt the other company wasn’t helpful and wanted Eric to pay back the amount of the money he felt he wasted.
  • [02:10] Sharing income reports puts a target on your back.
  • [03:05] You can share your income at the beginning, but once you start making more, scale back the sharing.
  • [03:07] That’s it for today!
  • [03:10] We hit our goal of 1 Million downloads! So, we will be throwing a free event in Los Angeles this June. Check out this website if you would like to attend. Remember: we are capping the event at 500 people, so sign up now, if you’re interested! DM Eric if you would like to participate in the VIP dinner.
