#1 Mobility: The association business is probably
the best business in the world to operate
remotely. It is ideally suited to distributed
teams, working from home, and flexible schedules.
If you have a laptop connected to the internet,
you can run an association from almost anywhere in
the world with a few cheap communication tools. The Porcelain Steel Institute is a great example.
Itâs owned by a gentleman I met recently. The
PSI serves porcelain steel manufacturers. Crazy, right? The CEO is a one-man show. He runs a
multimillion-dollar association with only a few
hundred high-value members. Typically, if you call him, you will catch him
talking on his mobile phone in the car with the
top down or on the golf course. No kidding. #2 Scaleability: As you can see from my previous
examples of the Dance Exercise Association
crossing over $62 million dollars per year and
exiting for likely hundreds of millions of
dollars, you can scale the association business as
big as you want. Or, you can stay low key, running a small business
that pays your mortgage, college tuitions or just
some random bills. Or anything in between... How big you grow is up to you, and since
associations are so inexpensive to start, you can
own as many as you like. #3 Low Risk: Other than rushing to scale, there's
no reason to invest a lot of money into an
association. Honestly, today, I spend thousands of dollars a
month on paid media in order to increase
membership quickly, but you don't need to do that
in the beginning or ever for that matter. Truth is, after a bit, most associations grow
organically. To begin, you may want to leverage free Facebook
groups, join Discord channels, or create your own
LinkedIn groups or even create interest boards on
Pinterest to get new members. There are so many
options. (at least 14 we use) #4 Low time commitment:Â You can manage just about
any association within 30 minutes a day as opposed
to ordinary businesses. You can grow as fast or as slow as you want. You
can take unlimited time off, and vacation for as
long as you like and your income will still come
in. Once established you can auto-run the whole thing
with a small team of outsourcers and you don't
have to be present at all. I know this is true because I have done it. I
don't work in my businesses anymore because they
are all run by other people with micro-teams that
work remotely. #5 Works with ANY Traffic: YouTube, Facebook,
LinkedIn, organic SEO, podcasts, social etc.
Pretty much every type of traffic works with
Associations. Remember, association memberships are a soft sale
that don't require pressure. All you have to do is
provide the vessel for people to associate, make
them aware of it, and they will come. Once you get it off the ground, the association
will kind of build itself. #6 Chillonaire ready: The association business is
a great way to live a balanced lifestyle since
there is no real staff, no stress, no pressure and
you just earn money on a regular basis without any
of the rigors of a regular business. This is what my friend Kevin Nations calls a
Chillonaire lifestyle. #7 Pride: Unlike some of the other business models
in our industry, owning an association gives you a
real sense of pride. Regardless of which title you
choose, being a president, founder or CEO youâll
feel a certain level of prestige, and you don't
have to be ashamed of what you do to make money.
This is a big one for me. #8 Power & Influence: American associations and
their leaders control elections, get advisory
roles with corporations, and are at the top of the
food chain when it comes to how cities, counties
and states are governed and even how they write
their laws. [Get Started With Your Association Business TODAY!]( To your success, Reed Floren Â
