Survivorman Flips Fear and Excitement

Appealing to our most primal urges and instincts, Survivorman tackles the scenarios that were once commonplace for our ancestors, Surviving. Placing himself in dangerous survival situations, and being his own cameraman has made Les Stroud a well respected survivalist and television personality. What the heck does this have to do with flipping? Well ask yourself this, what is Les and his production crew doing? Aren't they just taking something (a survival situation) and flipping it for money? While educationaly, there is a monetary reward for selling the experience of survival. It appeals to our basic fears, desires, and primal instincts. This type of entertainment has an educational value built in, so not only are you entertained, but you are brought back to the basic survivial skills humans once knew in order to live day to day. Without the comform of a warm home, speedy vehicle, and credit cards, could we survive in the Canadian Rockies, or a Costa Rican Forest?

This is a fine example of scenarios, where you can provide a professional service as Trademark does. Not dependant upon making a sale necessarily, but still needed, and still lucrative. How can you expand your team, delegate more, and enable your business to scale? By hiring the right people, you can focus energy on specific areas, and allow yourself to take on more business. Think beyond the flip.
