Business Models & Business Markets That Make Millions — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00On this video, I'm going to share with
- 0:03you two of the most important factors
- 0:06that are absolutely essential if you're
- 0:09serious, not just curious, about
- 0:10becoming a millionaire. I'm going to
- 0:13share with you the business models and
- 0:16the business markets that make
- 0:18millionaires, as well as the business
- 0:20models and the business markets that
- 0:22don't. Because all markets are not
- 0:25created equally, and all business models
- 0:27are not created equally. And if you pick
- 0:29the wrong model andor the wrong market,
- 0:34you are going to engage in a struggle
- 0:36fest the likes of which you will not be
- 0:38very happy about. So what are these
- 0:41business model? I'm going to write them
- 0:42on the board just so just so like you
- 0:45can follow my thinking. Hopefully I'll
- 0:48be able to follow my thinking. So, so as
- 0:51we're as we're looking at as we're
- 0:53looking at um markets and models, I'm
- 0:57going to cover the business markets
- 0:59first because I I think one of the
- 1:01biggest mistakes people make when they
- 1:03start a business is they start their
- 1:04business in here. This is something I
- 1:06know how to do, so this is the business
- 1:07I'm going to start. This is something I
- 1:08love, so this is the business I'm going
- 1:10to start. This is something I've always
- 1:11wanted to do, so this is the business
- 1:12I'm going to start. instead of starting
- 1:14your business out there. If you start
- 1:16your business in here, I'm there's a
- 1:1950/50 chance at best that you'll strike
- 1:23gold. If you say, "Well, this is just
- 1:26something I know how to do." Right? But
- 1:27if that's something you know how to do
- 1:28is not something that solves a problem
- 1:29for other people, then it doesn't matter
- 1:31that that's all you know how to do. Um,
- 1:34people think that wealth is a lot of
- 1:35money. I believe that wealth is your
- 1:38your and my ability, our ability to
- 1:42create value for someone other than
- 1:44ourselves. I want you to think about
- 1:45that. Like any anybody who's wealthy,
- 1:48any business that's produced a lot of
- 1:50wealth, they've done it because they
- 1:51they've been able to create value for a
- 1:55large number of people other than
- 1:56themselves. And the because you're the
- 1:59one starting the business and you're
- 2:00starting the business because you want
- 2:01to make more money. Unfortunately, when
- 2:03you start the business, the person
- 2:04you're thinking about is you. And then
- 2:06when you're creating stuff, you're
- 2:07thinking about you. And then when you go
- 2:08talk to the people about the stuff you
- 2:09created, you're thinking about you. And
- 2:11therefore, you don't have the ability to
- 2:12create wealth because you created all
- 2:14solutions for yourself and none for
- 2:15anybody else. And so, you're hoping that
- 2:17you you you'll create wealth by going
- 2:19out and using the market to solve your
- 2:22problems. It just doesn't work that way.
- 2:23That's like that's like unplugging
- 2:25something, unplugging a lamp to make the
- 2:28light turn on. It doesn't work. It's
- 2:29backwards. And so, so if you're serious
- 2:32about creating wealth, you have to pick
- 2:34the right market. Now, there are there
- 2:35are three different markets we're going
- 2:36to talk about. Um, I'm going to do it
- 2:39like this, and I'm going to do it like
- 2:42this, and I'm going to do it like that.
- 2:45And so, the first market is the worst
- 2:47market. And this is the market that a
- 2:49lot of people when they get started in,
- 2:51even if they don't get started in this
- 2:52market, they think about whatever market
- 2:54they got started in from this
- 2:55perspective. And it cost you a fortune.
- 2:57And that is a
- 3:02commodity market. Now, what's a
- 3:04commodity market? A commodity market is
- 3:07a market where the product only
- 3:10has
- 3:12intrinsic
- 3:14value. What is intrinsic value?
- 3:17Intrinsic value means it's utilitarian
- 3:20value. Um, it's it's like a box of
- 3:25nails. It's like a box of screws. It's
- 3:28like a um a broom, a dustpan, a mop,
- 3:35right? The they just the the value is
- 3:38that you can use this thing to do that
- 3:40thing, right? If you go into the
- 3:43commodity market, they only have an an
- 3:45intrinsic or utilitarian value. Then the
- 3:49other things about that is because it
- 3:50only has an intrinsic value, you can
- 3:53only you can only be competitive in the
- 3:56marketplace via
- 3:58price, right? And so what happens is
- 4:02let's say you sell nails and your nails
- 4:06that you sell in your hardware store are
- 4:10are $5 a
- 4:12box. So, you sell your nails for $5, but
- 4:16your competitor has a hardware store
- 4:17down the street across the street. He
- 4:19walks past your window. He sees your
- 4:20nails are $5. So, he sells So, these are
- 4:23your
- 4:24nails. And then your competitor sells
- 4:27his goes to his his were $510. He goes
- 4:31and he sells his nails. Now, he lowers
- 4:33his price to $4.90.
- 4:39And then you see his nails on your way
- 4:42to somewhere else. And then you lower
- 4:44your nails to
- 4:49$4.80. And then he lowers his to 47. He
- 4:53lowers his
- 4:55uh
- 4:56$4.80. And then he lowers his to470. And
- 5:01so what
- 5:02happens is you get in a
- 5:07race with price. You get in a race to
- 5:10the bottom for the person who can have
- 5:12the lowest price. There is no
- 5:14competitive advantage whatsoever to
- 5:16being the second lowest
- 5:19price. There's no ad there's no
- 5:22competitive advantage. And so if you
- 5:24win, you lose. And if you lose, you
- 5:26lose. Why? Because you chose the wrong
- 5:28race to be in. you're in a commodity
- 5:30market because when you are in a
- 5:32commodity market, your competitor sets
- 5:35your price.
- 5:38Unless you figure out how to make a
- 5:40self-driving nail where all you have to
- 5:42do is put it on a spot and it drives
- 5:44itself, you're probably not going to
- 5:45outpay. They're just going to people are
- 5:47going to buy nails from the people the
- 5:49businesses that are the closest to them
- 5:51that have a reasonable price. So, we
- 5:54don't want to build our business based
- 5:55on a commodity market. Then we have we
- 5:59have mass
- 6:02markets and some mass markets products
- 6:04are um they have an intuitive value but
- 6:08the most important thing about mass
- 6:10market products is they are priced based
- 6:13on cost of goods. How much how much did
- 6:17it cost me to make it? So, this is why I
- 6:21don't want to just sell a product that's
- 6:25mass marketed. Like, like if if I were
- 6:28going to sell a mass market product, I
- 6:29wouldn't sell just a general mass market
- 6:31product. Let's say I'm going to sell
- 6:32cars. I wouldn't just sell cars because
- 6:35a car is a car is a car is a car. If I'm
- 6:36going to sell houses, I wouldn't just
- 6:38sell houses because a house is a house,
- 6:39a house is a house. I would have to have
- 6:41something other than the intrinsic value
- 6:45and the cost of goods. So what they do
- 6:47is they say, "Okay, it cost me x amount
- 6:49of dollars to make this. I'm going to
- 6:50mark it up 15%. I'm going to mark it up
- 6:5230% and then I'm going to go to the
- 6:54marketplace with that as the price." So
- 6:56if that's the way you build your
- 6:58business, so you're you're stuck like
- 7:01Chuck in a pickup truck because now the
- 7:04the people who sell you the raw
- 7:07materials to make your products
- 7:09determine your
- 7:11price. Okay, let me ask you a question.
- 7:13If you started a
- 7:15business, if you started a business and
- 7:18you go out and you borrow money to start
- 7:20that business and then you you you you
- 7:22hire people, who took the risk to start
- 7:25that business? Everybody say, "I did." I
- 7:27did. That's right. You did. So, you took
- 7:29the risk to start that business, but
- 7:31somebody else set your prices. How does
- 7:32that make sense?
- 7:35It doesn't not only does it not make
- 7:38sense, it doesn't make any sense at all.
- 7:40So there and there's there's like what
- 7:43can you do to enhance this? Well, you
- 7:46can do some things in mass market to to
- 7:49enhance the the price, but not by not by
- 7:52a significant enough margin. So
- 7:55something as essential as food, right?
- 7:57Food's fairly essential, right? Do you
- 8:00know what the margins on grocery stores
- 8:01are? Small. How small is small? 13%.
- 8:06No%. No, not 5%. Not 10%. like two to
- 8:103%. They make two to three cents on
- 8:12every
- 8:13dollar for the food that they
- 8:16sell. Sell something. It's it's
- 8:19mind-blowing. So cost of good. This is
- 8:21not fun. This is this is the both of
- 8:24these are stress and headache
- 8:27city. This is the only arena in which I
- 8:29want to play. This is the only market in
- 8:31which I want to play. PVMs premium value
- 8:34market. What is a premium value market?
- 8:35A premium value market. Now the price is
- 8:38set by the
- 8:41perceived
- 8:43perceived
- 8:46value and the intrinsic value and the
- 8:49cost of goods doesn't even come into
- 8:50play. It doesn't matter. So it's like
- 8:53it's like my
- 8:57book. All right, Kenan, edit this part.
- 8:59Edit that part out. Okay, cool. It's
- 9:02like my book from Bossmos. This is a
- 9:04paperback book. It has 172 pages. If I
- 9:07were in the commodity market and I was
- 9:10just selling a book, I might be able to
- 9:12get away with selling this for
- 9:14$16.95, right? Why? Because that's how
- 9:17much paperback books sell for like at
- 9:19the most, right? If if I were in um the
- 9:24mass market, I it cost me about $5.
- 9:26Again, I might be able to sell it for
- 9:28$16.95 because of how much it cost me to
- 9:30make. Actually, it cost me about $3 to
- 9:32make. So, or I could sell it or or how
- 9:36how um how much people in the market
- 9:38sell paperback books for. You go to
- 9:40Barnes & Noble, you're not going to find
- 9:41one. If you do, I'll be shocked. 172page
- 9:45paperback book for um for the amount of
- 9:48money. You won't find one that I sell
- 9:50this book
- 9:51for. You won't even come close. Right.
- 9:54So, this book sells for
- 9:56$30 plus shipping. And the shipping is
- 9:59$9.99 domestically and it's $25
- 10:03internationally. So somebody literally
- 10:05who lives overseas when they buy this
- 10:06book, they pay $55 to get this book.
- 10:10Why? Because this book doesn't fit here
- 10:12and it doesn't fit here. It fits there.
- 10:14It's a premium value.
- 10:17Like it's a premium value offer for a
- 10:20book. So in in book in in on the
- 10:23internet when people sell books, they
- 10:25have this concept. I you you've you've
- 10:28probably bought books this way, but you
- 10:29didn't know it was like this is a
- 10:31marketing strategy. It's called free
- 10:33free plus shipping offer. Okay, has
- 10:36anybody not heard of free plus shipping
- 10:37offer? Okay, all of you have heard of
- 10:39it. Okay, so you give the book away for
- 10:41free and you only charge shipping. But
- 10:43then as soon as they say, I'll take the
- 10:45book and pay for the shipping, you offer
- 10:46them something else that enhances the
- 10:48book experience. Then you offer them
- 10:50something else that enhances that
- 10:51experience. then and by the time you get
- 10:52done, you started out paying $7.95 for
- 10:54shipping and handling, but by the time
- 10:55you check out, you got $125 in your
- 10:57cart. That is a viable strategy. It's
- 11:00just not the one I chose to use. And
- 11:03because the and the reason I didn't
- 11:05choose it is because I don't like
- 11:07building businesses based on analogy. I
- 11:09like building businesses based on first
- 11:12principles. And so the first question
- 11:15the to me the first question when it
- 11:16comes to first principles about anything
- 11:18is what is the objective right?
- 11:22And as I shared with y'all this morning
- 11:25the most important thing you can do with
- 11:28regard to selling anything is to build a
- 11:33personal brand. Well, what's a brand? A
- 11:35brand is a name that reminds you of a
- 11:38story.
- 11:39So, what is the story people tell
- 11:42themselves when they hear your name?
- 11:45That's the question, right? That's the
- 11:46question that that we that we want to
- 11:49have in our mind when we're creating.
- 11:50Okay, what's what's the story I want
- 11:52people to think of when they hear my
- 11:53name? So, everybody was modeling Russell
- 11:56Brunson. Makes sense. He's brilliant,
- 11:58right? He's brilliant marketer. He's
- 12:00doing a free plus shipping mark offer on
- 12:01his book. So, everybody starts doing
- 12:03free plus shipping offers and they're
- 12:04giving away thousands and thousands of
- 12:05books and they're doing upsells and
- 12:06upselles and upselles. And then I come
- 12:08along and I say, "Well, I'm going to
- 12:09sell my book for $30 and $9.99 shipping
- 12:13and handling." So, I had a guy who
- 12:16eventually bought one of my coaching
- 12:17programs. He said, "When I saw your book
- 12:20for sale for $30 and $9.99$9.99 shipping
- 12:24and handling," he said, "I was so mad."
- 12:25And he didn't say mad. Um, he said I was
- 12:27so mad. How does he think he is? How
- 12:28does he how can he charge this much
- 12:30money for this book? He said, "Then I
- 12:31read the salesunnel and it said I charge
- 12:3480 $40,000 an hour for coaching." And if
- 12:36you read that book, like if you coach,
- 12:38if you hire me to coach you, whatever I
- 12:40tell to you in the first two hours is
- 12:42the stuff in this book. He said once I
- 12:43saw that, I was like, "Oh, that makes
- 12:44sense." And then he bought the book. But
- 12:46he didn't just buy the book. He bought
- 12:47the upsell to the challenge. And then he
- 12:50bought the coaching program at the end
- 12:51of the challenge. Why? Because I had a
- 12:54frame. I gave him a frame through which
- 12:57to view my offer that made it make sense
- 13:00to him to say yes to that offer. Are
- 13:03y'all tracking? Right. And see, one of
- 13:06your problems is as a as an
- 13:07entrepreneur, you don't have any
- 13:08pre-framing. You know what's really
- 13:10fascinating to me? People when they look
- 13:13at other people doing something that
- 13:14they don't
- 13:16understand and it doesn't make sense to
- 13:18them, their only conclusion is that it's
- 13:21a
- 13:22scam. So, anything that you don't
- 13:25understand, somebody there's somebody
- 13:27out there who wants to make money off of
- 13:28you to tell you it's a scam. Like, a lot
- 13:29of people say multi-level marketing is a
- 13:31scam. I'm not a like I'm not a fan of
- 13:33multi-level marketing for me. I don't I
- 13:35don't participate in multi-level
- 13:37marketing, but I still think it's a
- 13:38great business model. I think it's a
- 13:40great business. I think I think any
- 13:43entrepreneur who wants to build a
- 13:45business would do well to have their
- 13:48first business be a network marketing
- 13:49business where they have to build a
- 13:50team, they have to learn how to sell,
- 13:51and they have to learn how to recruit,
- 13:52and they have to learn how to lead
- 13:54people who don't have to follow them
- 13:56because you will develop so many skills.
- 13:58Now, I know a lot of people are going to
- 13:58say, "There he goes promoting
- 13:59multi-level marketing." I'm not
- 14:00promoting it. I'm just saying I believe
- 14:02it's a it's as viable a business model
- 14:04as a real estate agency. It's a viable
- 14:06as viable a business model as an
- 14:08insurance agency. But most of the people
- 14:10don't make any money. Most of the people
- 14:10in most things don't make any money.
- 14:12Right? But but the reality is you will
- 14:14learn skills that are absolutely
- 14:18essential. One of the reasons I'm so
- 14:19good at sales, one of the reasons I'm so
- 14:21good at marketing is because I was so
- 14:22terrible at it when I got started in
- 14:23network marketing, selling insurance and
- 14:25investments. And I was terrible how long
- 14:26until I got
- 14:28good? Okay. So you are attractive. So,
- 14:30these are the markets that create
- 14:35millionaires. Now, let's look at the
- 14:36business
- 14:37models. Okay, we're going to I'm going
- 14:39to I'm going to do it like I I like to
- 14:41do my different levels. Okay, so the
- 14:44lowest the lowest of all of the business
- 14:49models is what I call a
- 14:52entrepreneur. In fact, I'm not even
- 14:54going to do it that way. I'm going to do
- 14:56I'm going to do it this way. I'm going
- 14:57to do
- 14:59LV time LP equals entrepreneur. So LV *
- 15:05LP. What is that? Low volume times low
- 15:08price. So you have something that you
- 15:11sell. Let's say you sell it for $20.
- 15:14Let's say you sell two of them a month.
- 15:16You think you have a business, but you
- 15:18want to be an entrepreneur. You're an
- 15:19entrepreneur. You're not a real
- 15:20entrepreneur. Why? Because you have low
- 15:22volume and low price, low profits. So
- 15:25you can do
- 15:29um high HV times LP and that you know
- 15:36what I should have done the other one
- 15:37first. I I'll just leave it like this.
- 15:38This equals a what I call a
- 15:42wallrepreneur. A walrepreneur. Yes. What
- 15:45is
- 15:46that? That is like Sam Walton. What did
- 15:50he do? Sam Walton said, "I never want to
- 15:52make more than 30% margin on anything I
- 15:56sell." He said, "If I go buy something
- 15:57in bulk and I get a discount from my
- 16:00vendors, I'm going to pass that discount
- 16:02on to my customers." And Sam Walton
- 16:04became the richest man in the world with
- 16:07the Walterreneur business model. Low
- 16:10volume, I mean, high volume, low price.
- 16:12That's a that's a really viable
- 16:14business. There are a lot of people who
- 16:15do that today. In what market? In in
- 16:17what uh business?
- 16:19e-commerce, low profit, high volume.
- 16:22They sell
- 16:24plastic forks or whatever and they sell
- 16:28millions of them and they make a lot of
- 16:29money. Okay, I saw I saw this thing uh I
- 16:32was watching this Shark Tank episode
- 16:34last night on YouTube and these people
- 16:37created this thing called Bucket Golf
- 16:39and they they created this backyard game
- 16:42with these oversized golf clubs, these
- 16:43oversized golf balls and these um popup
- 16:48basket bucket things with a flag in it.
- 16:51And they sell it for
- 16:52$299. And the first year, the f when
- 16:56they first created, they only did like
- 16:57$5,000. And then the next year they did
- 17:00um um $2 million. And the next year they
- 17:03did like 5 million. The next year they
- 17:04did like $12 million in sales. All
- 17:07e-commerce,
- 17:09$200, relatively low price. Um and then
- 17:12but high crazy high volume. Then you
- 17:15have
- 17:20um no
- 17:25LV LV times HP. This is what I call the
- 17:29entrepreneur business
- 17:31model. What is entrepreneur business
- 17:33model? Low volume, low volume
- 17:36times times high price, high profit
- 17:39equals entrepreneur. So when I first got
- 17:41started, I was an entrepreneur. Like
- 17:42when I first got started coaching uh in
- 17:46in the coaching space, I was coaching
- 17:47people on how to sell and in particular,
- 17:50I was coaching people in network
- 17:51marketing. whole bunch of different
- 17:52network marketing companies because I
- 17:54got good at that. I got to the place
- 17:55where I was making $40,000 a month. So,
- 17:57I was teaching other people how do you
- 17:58build an organization where you can make
- 18:00like significant money in network
- 18:01marketing or multi-level marketing. So,
- 18:03I had a program that I sold for
- 18:06$497. And I would go and speak to these
- 18:08organizations. These companies would
- 18:10have me come in and I'd do a
- 18:11presentation and I might have um like
- 18:1620, 30, 40, 50, 100 people buy my $497
- 18:20program. Well, if 100 people buy your
- 18:21$497 program in a month, that's
- 18:24$50,000. That's low volume. 100 people,
- 18:27that's really low volume. But because
- 18:29it's $497, I was able to make a
- 18:31significant income. Does that make
- 18:32sense? And then my favorite business
- 18:34model is the one that I participate in.
- 18:37Now, I mean, I I I do some of this and I
- 18:40do some of that. I stay as far away from
- 18:41this as I can. And this is what I call
- 18:45uh
- 18:48oops HV time HP. That's high
- 18:54volume high volume times high price
- 18:57equals what I call wealth
- 19:02entrepreneur. Wealth entrepreneur. What
- 19:04is that? That's when you sell something
- 19:06that cost
- 19:09$55,000 and you have hundreds of people
- 19:11who buy it from you. That's when you
- 19:13sell something that costs $27,000. You
- 19:15have hundreds of people to buy that from
- 19:16you. Or you sell something that's that's
- 19:23um you sell something that's um
- 19:26$375,000 and you have dozens of people
- 19:28buy that from you and you just keep on
- 19:31doing that. So all of those price points
- 19:33between high high volume, high price,
- 19:35all those price points between 25,000
- 19:37and a million dollars, we've sold
- 19:40hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
- 19:42those. We've only had four people buy
- 19:43the million-doll offer, but still it's
- 19:45one of those high price. And if you
- 19:48combine, if you start down at 25,000,
- 19:50that's a whole lot of people. We're
- 19:51talking about hundreds and hundreds of
- 19:53people who've bought stuff from us
- 19:55between$25,000 and a million dollars.
- 19:58These those are the business markets.
- 20:00These are the business models that if
- 20:01you will stick with them, they will make
- 20:03you a millionaire. Now, here's the
- 20:04mistake people make. I'm going to go sit
- 20:06back over here. Here's a mistake people
- 20:09make. They start their business and they
- 20:13don't take into consideration at all
- 20:16what is the model, what's my business
- 20:17model going to be, and they don't take
- 20:19into consideration at all what's what
- 20:21market am I going to like go into to
- 20:24serve. You missed the whole point. Sure.
- 20:28When I used to serve people in network
- 20:30marketing, my pro my my coaching
- 20:33programs were
- 20:35$497. Now that I serve high level
