Three Types Of Earners (Which Are You?)
14 years agoMy friend Jonathan Fields (www.jonathanfields.com) is a writer, blogger, and all around knowledge-dropper, so when he asked me to talk to his tribe and give them the best 90 minutes I could on what it means to be a successful entrepreneur, I knew I was in for a treat. I suggested we talk about The Three Types Of Earners. We’ve got a lot of great feedback in the social media world with people saying things like “thank you, you blew my mind!” and “where have you two been? I felt like you were talking directly to me!”. (see the bottom of this post for more)
There were some things that were surprising about this call. First off, we had to get more lines because there were over 730 people registered – which felt really good. But what really amazed both Jonathan and I is that an hour into the call, less than 2% of the listeners had dropped off. That NEVER happens. I think it was so engaging because Jonathan and I have a really good rapport with each other and we just spoke naturally to each other about things that are important to us. Go ahead and listen and tell me what you think by commenting here!

And listen all the way to the end, because there’s a woman that asked a really good question in the Q+A – one of those “Oh I’m so glad you brought that up” kind of moments. If you like what you hear, let me know by sharing this post on facebook and using the ‘retweet’ button above!
The Three Types Of Earners
After working with 100s of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world (some of them billionaires) I’ve found there are three types of earners. The first have bought the lie that they can sacrifice their life to their work or their business, earn a lot of money, and then use that money to buy their life back later. The sad part is that many of them never reach the finish line – and those few that do have become so accustomed to sacrifice that they no longer know how to make themselves happy.
The second group decided not to sacrifice anything – but don’t have the skills and discipline to take control of their financial situation. They end up trying to justify their struggle by pretending that choosing a path of meaning means being poor.
The third group is truly free, and they have one thing in common – which is that they follow a certain pattern, a formula.
Jonathan and I give you the details of that formula in the recording above. And how to make it work for you. We’ll shed light on a few other things, like why you’ve gotten so close to what you want before and seem to have a pattern of self-sabotage at the crucial moments. Or, why you frequently don’t do the things you know damn well you need to do in order to have what you want (btw, its not what you think). You’ll also discover something essential, how to work with passion REGARDLESS of what you are doing. Enjoy!

I have posted the link to this call on my Facebook Status. Bryan, I appreciate the clarity you bring to every one of us out here regarding what it takes to have a fulfilling and life as a businessperson. I recommend this call to all under earners, over achievers/workaholics and those that have burned out and gone back to jobs they hate. These 90 minutes can be a turning point in your life if you listen closely, are honest with yourself and take action!
SO…it’s OK to give 6 months to a year of hard core pushing to build the foundations up to the point where you can leverage and delegate…right?
As an artist, I somehow don’t struggle with possibly being the 2nd type–, but as a single mom trying to dig out of a hole, I am committed to the next 6 months being 60+ hour weeks so we can get back on our feet. The guilt is huge, since I refused to take a 9to5 in order to have time for my daughter, and to keep on the path of my bliss.
I guess, I am worried I will condition and train myself and my little girl to expect to work this hard forever, even though that is not my intention. Is it unrealistic to think I can put this short term work in to build everything up to a point, dig out of the hole, and get us stable and steady again, and THEN let things even out?
As a fellow single parent (my son Spencer is 6), I know the tear in your heart when you decide between spending more time together as a family and spending time doing the things you want to do to make yourself successful.
Whenever I feel torn like that, I ask myself, “What decision do I want to teach Spencer to make when he is faced with a situation like this?”
This framing makes it easy to stop needlessly beating myself up as an imperfect parent and get in touch with the deeper values I want to live my life by.
If you would be proud of your daughter for taking 6 months to a year of hard core pushing to build business foundations – then yes its OK. If you feel that it would be a sacrifice you wouldn’t want her to make – then no, its not OK.
The red flag is the one you’ve already identified – which is training yourself to push and chasing a receding horizon, and ending up working hard ‘forever’. Pay attention to your body. It knows how hard to push and when to take a breath. If you feel alert, refreshed, well slept, and healthy… this is a good sign that you are on the right track! If not, then maybe you are pushing too hard in the wrong direction.
Hope this helps!
Bryan
The first thing is to recognize any judgment and guilt you have related to the situation. If you can become a non-judgmental observer of your situation – simply observe what is going on – your internal and external world – you will find answers show up for you and you will know exactly what you need to do next. What happens is that we stay stuck in our internal dramas and spin in the emotions and loose sight of what is possible. If you can be in the center of the vortex and observe the world around you without getting caught up, you will find that you Know what you need to do next. Ideas and insights will flow more easily and you will be able to listen and see better.
I encourage you to try this – non judgmental observation of what is. Let me know if you have any questions…
The info in this call was pure gold, hands down the best teleseminar I’ve EVER listened to to date. Bryan was very generous with his knowledge on the call and I gained so much from listening. Particularly liked the part about purpose. I too was getting to the stage where the word was becoming an anathema to me but Bryan’s perspective on the concept was enlightening, and I have now reframed purpose according to the definition offered in the call, which makes much more sense and is much less constrictive. Thank you Bryan for your generosity in sharing this info, I’ve certainly gained more clarity from listening. You’re like the best kept secret in the self-development world!
