If you have 10+ years of experience, you likely possess a skill worth $100,000 or more annually. By reflecting on your learned knowledge, applied skills, and benefits gained, you can create valuable offers. Arlan, who rose from homelessness to investing in startups, shares insights on establishing authority and monetizing your expertise, especially for those aged 40 and above.
If you have worked for 10, 15, or 20 plus years, there is a high chance that you already have a skill that is worth $100,000 or more per year, and you’re sitting on it. This article will help you understand what your skill might be and how you can reach those six-figure earnings.
My name is Arlan. Just 10 years ago, I was homeless, sleeping on the floor of an airport. Today, I invest in more than 200 startup companies and help thousands of entrepreneurs learn how to make money fast to improve their quality of life. I wish I had this knowledge 10 years ago, and I want you to know that there is a way.
If you believe you have talent, skills, and potential — or more than potential, that you already have it — I encourage you to acknowledge that. Believe in yourself and share your talents with others.
I work with a diverse group of clients and members, many of whom are aged 40 to 60, with some above 60 and others between 30 and 40. If you fall into these age groups, you have likely experienced a lot in life and helped many people for free.
I recently spoke with a client in her late 50s who believed that getting older meant simply giving out free advice because of wisdom gained. However, she realized that her insights are valuable and that she could charge for them. Many people younger, the same age, or older do not have the experiences she has, and her knowledge can be very helpful to them.
To identify your valuable skill, consider the LAB framework:
This understanding forms the foundation of an offer you can make to others. Creating the offer is a process but not a difficult one.
I have a free membership called "Your First 5k" where you can join for free and access a classroom with a five-day challenge available on replay. On day one, which lasts about an hour, I provide an AI tool that helps you input your information and by the end, you will have your offer or be very close to having one.
If you have years of experience and have learned, applied, and benefited from your knowledge, you already possess a skill worth $100,000 or more per year. By recognizing your value and packaging your expertise into an offer, you can monetize your skills and improve your quality of life. Remember, your lived experience is a powerful asset that many people need and are willing to pay for.
Believe in your talent and take the steps to share it with the world.
