The ultimate winning flex

“Alright, I’m ready to negotiate…” You could feel the tension around the table. Three pairs of eyes stared at me as everyone waited, with bated breath, to hear what I was going to ask for…and without a doubt, get. Because I held the ultimate hand of cards…literally: One house of each color on the Monopoly board. Which meant that without going through me? No one could start building any houses. So of course I was going to drive a hard bargain. For the only card I wanted… The most expensive, prized…Boardwalk. At first, Stephen, who held Boardwalk, didn’t want to give it to me. (Because he’d have to do at least two more trades before he ’d have a full set to start building houses on.) But I could afford to wait. Plus, I made sure everyone knew that if they gave up their leverage too early to Stephen, they wouldn’t get what they needed from me .* People like to throw around the word “Freedom” a lot, especially in the online business space. But to me, this is the ultimate freedom… Being able to do what you want, while not having to answer to anybody . Well, maybe “answer to” isn’t the best phrase. Probably a better way to think about it is, without “needing” or having to “rely on” anybody else. Like the way a lot of entrepreneurs have to rely on referrals and word of mouth to make sales. Or need their paid traffic or social media algorithms to make sure they have a good month. It’s one of the reasons I was first drawn to SEO as a traffic source. Because it allows you to set up your own personal “Monopoly” situation: Your ideal customers find you every single day . And the fact that they do depends on you and the quality of your work — not on anyone else or any social media billionaire’s whims. (To be completely transparent as always, Google does update its algorithms as well, but I’ve always found their updates to be much more straightforward and actually focused on rewarding the best content…which means that if you know what to do and how to do it, you’re not going to get shortchanged.) Which means I get to take my time and do what I want in every other aspect of my business — Like not having to obsess about how much I’ve grown on YouTube or Instagram. Or whether or not a client has remembered to leave me a good review. Or refer me to that person they promised they would. If you’re like me, and consider not “relying on” anyone or anything else the ultimate freedom… So you can do what you enjoy, not “have” to do anything you don’t want to, or stress about “needing” that next sale (because you have plenty coming in), then here’s how I can help you… You can learn the exact system I used to go from zero to multiple six-figures within two years using just SEO alone — without “needing” anything else, right here: [Watch a free masterclass explaining the system]( .

(Your business does need to be at 6-figures or more in annual revenue for this option to be a good fit.) Luisa Zhou PS - *In case you’re curious, I won the game. Well…technically, we ended the game early because we all got hungry. But I was winning. ;) Another benefit that happens when you set yourself up to not “need” any one thing.
