SkillCasting Strategic Mindmap

I was meeting with a client the other day. I think he is a perfect candidate for SkillCasting. He has the credentials, the experience, and the “street cred” to turn what he knows into his own training products–but he’s not doing it.

I shared this mindmap with him as I discussed why & what he could be doing. You can download a PDF here.

I suggested a membership site where he could host his training modules and sell access to them. In addition, I suggested a forum where members could post questions and he could answer them. When I said this could all be passive reoccurring monthly income, that’s when the lightbulb went off.

Let me ask you, after working all these years, what specialized knowledge do you have? Would other people find it valuable? Are you currently working but find yourself spread too thin? What if you supplemented your “time for money” consulting model and created online products to sell? How does this passive revenue stream impact you?

There are so many ways to productize your knowledge these days. My mindmap mentions a few of them. I know, I can almost hear you saying “yeah but Scott, I don’t know how to manage a website and build all those things.”

I’ll tell you the same thing I told my client. You partner.

    Scott I noticed that you are big on the mind map. So where is your tutorial on how to construct and use a mind map?

      Ha, busted! You’re right, I’m a huge believer in mindmapping and organizing your thoughts. This is one of my earlier mindmaps.

      For the record, I’ve been using MindMeister lately. It’s a web based solution and what I like most is that I can access my maps on my iMac, MacBook Air, and even my iPhone. I love starting some thoughts on my iPhone, adding to it on my desktop, and then being in a coffee shop and reviewing it on the Air. Everything stays in sync and I always have the latest information.

      I’ll have to add mindmapping to the future post list :-)
