  1. 0:00Do you want me to tell you something
  2. 0:01absolutely crazy? In a single year, I
  3. 0:04made more than the CEOs of McDonald's,
  4. 0:06Ford, Motorola, Yahoo, and Ikea, all
  5. 0:08combined, just for me as a 20-something
  6. 0:10year old kid. Trust me, no one was more
  7. 0:13surprised than I was. Today I'm going
  8. 0:16to show you how to make money so fast
  9. 0:18it's almost illegal. The number one way
  10. 0:21to make money is to understand how
  11. 0:23value is created. I'll tell you a story
  12. 0:25. I sent my dad a picture of our
  13. 0:27biggest annual event, the one we hosted
  14. 0:29at the company for the gym owners we
  15. 0:31worked with on a license basis. We had
  16. 0:33a room full of over 700 people, and my
  17. 0:36dad was like, "Wow, that's a lot of
  18. 0:38people." He said, "And how much did
  19. 0:40they pay to be there?" I said, "42,000
  20. 0:43a year." He said, "Oh my gosh, but they
  21. 0:45know they're paying that much," and I
  22. 0:47said, "Of course they do, it's not like
  23. 0:49I'm secretly taking money out of their
  24. 0:51accounts." And no. He was like, "Okay."
  25. 0:54And instead of answering him rudely, I
  26. 0:56said, "Well, let's look at it together.
  27. 0:58" And I asked him, "Imagine if you
  28. 1:01could pay and get five in return, would
  29. 1:04you do it?" And he goes and says, "Well
  30. 1:06, it depends." And I said, "It depends
  31. 1:08on what." And he goes, "Well, what are
  32. 1:10the chances that that five to one would
  33. 1:12actually happen?" And I said, "That's
  34. 1:14the average." Some are below average
  35. 1:16and some are above average. And he said
  36. 1:18, "Okay, that sounds like a fair bet.
  37. 1:20And what would I have to do?" And I
  38. 1:21said, good question, you would have to
  39. 1:24dedicate probably more than 10 hours a
  40. 1:26week to implement a new model well
  41. 1:28within your business. And he says, "
  42. 1:30Okay, and how long would it take from
  43. 1:31the time I start until I see those
  44. 1:33results?" And I said, "About a year."
  45. 1:36And he said, "Okay, well, then yes I
  46. 1:39think I would." And that reasoning was
  47. 1:43like the first big key to making so
  48. 1:45much money that it almost seems illegal
  49. 1:48, that you can't sell with your own
  50. 1:50wallet in mind. You have to sell based
  51. 1:53on the value that you're creating for
  52. 1:55someone else. That's how we could
  53. 1:57charge quite a bit more and earn much
  54. 1:59more than anyone else in my field.
  55. 2:01Everybody else in my field was only
  56. 2:04charging a tenth of what I was charging
  57. 2:07or rather what I was getting from the
  58. 2:09market. And the reason that was
  59. 2:12possible is because I use something I
  60. 2:13call the value equation. There are four
  61. 2:15components to that equation and I'm not
  62. 2:16going to go into them in depth here,
  63. 2:18but I'll summarize them for you. The
  64. 2:19first is the dream outcome, which is
  65. 2:21what is the big thing that people want
  66. 2:23to achieve. In this case, they might
  67. 2:25want to earn more from their gym,
  68. 2:27perhaps lose some weight, mend their
  69. 2:28relationship, or simply look cool in
  70. 2:30front of their friends; whatever it may
  71. 2:32be. The next thing is the perceived
  72. 2:34probability of getting it or,
  73. 2:36conversely, the risk. How likely is it
  74. 2:38that when I buy this, I'm actually
  75. 2:39going to get what I want? When he asked
  76. 2:41me, what are the odds? What he was
  77. 2:43really asking was exactly this. The
  78. 2:46next question is time. How long is it
  79. 2:48going to be from the time I start until
  80. 2:50I get it done? And the longer that time
  81. 2:52frame is, the less valuable what you're
  82. 2:54offering is. And then there's effort
  83. 2:57and sacrifice. How much effort am I
  84. 2:59going to have to put in? What are the
  85. 3:00things I'm going to have to start doing
  86. 3:01that I don't want to do? Or stop doing
  87. 3:03the things that I do want to do? Just
  88. 3:05to be clear, the reason I came up with
  89. 3:07this value equation is because for a
  90. 3:09long time I'd heard people say, "It
  91. 3:10adds value, it creates value," and I
  92. 3:12thought, "Okay, but what does that
  93. 3:13really mean? How do you create value?"
  94. 3:15So I set out to try to figure out what
  95. 3:17makes me want to buy things. So in a
  96. 3:20hypothetical example, you would want
  97. 3:22something that was immediate,
  98. 3:23effortless, guaranteed, and exactly how
  99. 3:25they wanted it, in the way they wanted
  100. 3:28it. That would be the most valuable
  101. 3:30version of anything you could possibly
  102. 3:32sell. And then you'd say, "Let's say
  103. 3:34our average is 100,000 in a B2B
  104. 3:36environment." That could be because
  105. 3:38it's a monetary outcome and if it's a
  106. 3:40B2C environment selling to the consumer
  107. 3:42, then we have to abstract the value of
  108. 3:44things like getting into your high
  109. 3:46school jeans again, looking good at
  110. 3:47prom, or just feeling good every day,
  111. 3:49whatever it may be. And we have this
  112. 3:52return on investment, okay? And then we
  113. 3:55apply a sort of discount to that which
  114. 3:58reflects the risk. Are you following me
  115. 4:00? One is in the future. I would pay
  116. 4:02more for something that's guaranteed
  117. 4:04and immediate than for something that's
  118. 4:06not guaranteed and in a time frame.
  119. 4:07Let's say I sell tables, okay? It's a
  120. 4:10retail product and your first thought
  121. 4:12is, "That's gonna be super hot." Well,
  122. 4:14I'm not so sure. Think about it this
  123. 4:16way. At the lowest level, you can buy a
  124. 4:19plastic folding table at a Home Depot
  125. 4:21or a Walmart for, I don't know, $ 50 or
  126. 4:24$ 100. I haven't looked up how much
  127. 4:26those tables cost. On the other hand,
  128. 4:29you can buy a $ 2,000 hand-carved
  129. 4:31wooden table. Both allow you to put
  130. 4:34things on it and eat, right? The idea
  131. 4:37is how can we position our stuff
  132. 4:39differently than others. Now, if that's
  133. 4:42not the dream outcome of that table, I
  134. 4:44need to have something that I can put
  135. 4:46things on. The ideal outcome would be
  136. 4:48that when people come into my home,
  137. 4:50they're immediately impressed. Now
  138. 4:51we're tying it back to status. This is
  139. 4:53business because B2B is actually pretty
  140. 4:55straightforward. This is what it costs
  141. 4:57and then the rest of your time is spent
  142. 4:59trying to make it easier, lower risk,
  143. 5:01faster. In consumer business, sometimes
  144. 5:04you have to spend a little bit more
  145. 5:05time translating what that status boost
  146. 5:08means to them and how important it can
  147. 5:09be or conversely how horrible and
  148. 5:11painful it is for them not to have it.
  149. 5:14So if we have this big, expensive table
  150. 5:16, we say, "Okay, here's the status."
  151. 5:18The risk of that not happening is where
  152. 5:20we can show trends that show that this
  153. 5:21is something that's growing and that a
  154. 5:23lot of people understand the value of
  155. 5:24it. So the risk of them not getting the
  156. 5:26status is reduced. The timing issue
  157. 5:27would be something like, "Hey, I can
  158. 5:29have this at your place before the end
  159. 5:30of the day." And the person thinks, "
  160. 5:31Wow, I have time for the dinner party
  161. 5:33that I'm hosting tonight when my boss
  162. 5:34is coming over." And then there's the
  163. 5:36effort and the sacrifice. Relax, with
  164. 5:38our premium service we make sure to get
  165. 5:40it in the door even if it's a huge
  166. 5:41piece of equipment and we'll assemble
  167. 5:43it right there. All you have to do is
  168. 5:45say yes right now and you'll have it at
  169. 5:46your place tonight, ready to have
  170. 5:48dinner on tomorrow when your guests
  171. 5:49arrive. Now we've tied their purchasing
  172. 5:51decision to all the value components
  173. 5:53and that's how we get them to be
  174. 5:55willing to spend $ 20,000 because it's
  175. 5:57not about the wood, it's not about the
  176. 5:59table, it's about how much status it
  177. 6:01brings them in that context and on top
  178. 6:03of that they keep it forever, right?
  179. 6:05And that's how we have to break down
  180. 6:06what we're selling because a lot of you
  181. 6:08are selling tables and pricing them
  182. 6:10like they're made of plastic, but then
  183. 6:11you try to do the job halfway, but you
  184. 6:13can't make the margins with a premium
  185. 6:15service because people are like, "I
  186. 6:16only want to pay $ 100." And you're
  187. 6:18like, "I'll deliver it." And they're
  188. 6:19like, "Oh, I have to set it up myself."
  189. 6:21And all of a sudden they're saying, "
  190. 6:23When if you had just charged more and
  191. 6:24positioned it differently, you could
  192. 6:26have given them all these things that
  193. 6:27they really want." The reason this is
  194. 6:29so important is because price is the
  195. 6:31biggest factor in profit. Imagine
  196. 6:33there's a before, okay? You sell your
  197. 6:35tables and then there's an after. This
  198. 6:37obviously works for services or
  199. 6:39anything else that you sell. Imagine
  200. 6:42you charge $ 100 for your table, okay?
  201. 6:45And your cost for that table is, I'm
  202. 6:47going to be a little bit extreme, let's
  203. 6:49say $ 50. Okay, now let's say you have
  204. 6:52other costs like marketing, sales, and
  205. 6:55stuff like that that add up to $ 30,
  206. 6:57okay? That means your net profit from
  207. 6:59selling a table is going to be $. The
  208. 7:01gross profit would be $ 50, but the net
  209. 7:03profit stays at $ 20. Now imagine we
  210. 7:06rebrand our table as something valuable
  211. 7:09and it becomes a $ 1,000 table. Okay,
  212. 7:12now the cost of the table itself is
  213. 7:14probably $ 50, but let's say we add in
  214. 7:17some extras, hand delivery and things
  215. 7:19like that, okay? Okay. Let's say
  216. 7:21delivery costs another $ 200 because
  217. 7:23you send one of your guys, the truck,
  218. 7:25the gas, whatever. So now we have 250
  219. 7:28total. Great. And then there's the
  220. 7:31other costs. Maybe your selling costs
  221. 7:33go up a little bit to sell this because
  222. 7:34you need to get more leads. So let's
  223. 7:36leave it at 130. Okay, so what's the
  224. 7:38actual net profit that we made with
  225. 7:41this table? We have 380. I wish I had
  226. 7:43done the math easier, but I think it's
  227. 7:46620, okay? So $ 620 profit. And this is
  228. 7:51how you can get ridiculously rich in a
  229. 7:53very short period of time, simply by
  230. 7:55repositioning what you're selling based
  231. 7:58on the value it provides to the other
  232. 8:00person, rather than based on what it
  233. 8:02costs you. And to put that into context
  234. 8:04, that's multiplying your profit by 31.
  235. 8:07Let me tell you a quick story. There
  236. 8:09was a guy in the exact same field as me
  237. 8:10who paid me a day's worth of consulting
  238. 8:12years ago, and when I looked at his
  239. 8:14numbers, the fascinating thing was that
  240. 8:16he was actually selling to the same
  241. 8:17number of people per month as me. So he
  242. 8:20was spending the same amount on
  243. 8:21marketing, he had the same number of
  244. 8:22sales people, and he was closing about
  245. 8:24the same amount as us. And the
  246. 8:26interesting thing about all this, and
  247. 8:28it was a huge lesson that I learned, is
  248. 8:29that CAC, the cost of acquiring a new
  249. 8:31customer in an industry, as long as
  250. 8:33you're fairly good at marketing, pretty
  251. 8:35much doesn't change that much. Would
  252. 8:37you be surprised? I review a gazillion
  253. 8:39companies every year and between
  254. 8:40industries like a local plumber and
  255. 8:42another local plumber it's not going to
  256. 8:44be that different. The big difference,
  257. 8:47though, is that we were able to make
  258. 8:49about eight times more money per
  259. 8:51customer than this guy was making. But
  260. 8:54here's the kicker. We were making about
  261. 8:5750 times more revenue and all because
  262. 8:59of this. So we had eight times more
  263. 9:02money, but that ultimately came out to,
  264. 9:04remember, this is 1 times 10, right? So
  265. 9:06this was 10 times the price, but that
  266. 9:08ended up being 31 times the revenue,
  267. 9:10and that's why price is such a powerful
  268. 9:12lever for how much you earn. Now, where
  269. 9:14the competition starts is when somebody
  270. 9:16else can do the same thing that you can
  271. 9:18do for less. There was a McKinsey
  272. 9:21survey where they looked at a bunch of
  273. 9:24companies and 85%of them competed on
  274. 9:28price, but only 13%won on price. So
  275. 9:32it's literally the worst possible
  276. 9:33strategy because there's only one
  277. 9:35person who wins by being the cheapest.
  278. 9:37Dan Kennedy made it very clear. There's
  279. 9:39no prize for being the second cheapest
  280. 9:41in your competition. All you're doing
  281. 9:44is losing a lot of money. Whereas there
  282. 9:47is an advantage to being more expensive
  283. 9:50and that's directly related to how much
  284. 9:53value you're able to bring to each
  285. 9:55person. So again, the key is to think
  286. 9:58about what is this worth and then I can
  287. 10:00deliver it to them and by eliminating
  288. 10:02the risk by making it faster and easier
  289. 10:05for them, I'm discounting less of the
  290. 10:07value that I know I can bring to them.
  291. 10:10The 2011 version of this is selling to
  292. 10:12the customer's future wallet, not
  293. 10:14today's wallet. And then the way we
  294. 10:16break that value down, let's say it's
  295. 10:19100,000 worth of value. There will be a
  296. 10:22discount that can be applied to that
  297. 10:24100,000 based on the probability which
  298. 10:26is the risk. It will depend on how long
  299. 10:29it takes. That's the time factor. How
  300. 10:32easy is it and how much effort do they
  301. 10:34have to put in? And then the dream
  302. 10:35outcome which if what they want is to
  303. 10:37make more money, that's clear. Now, if
  304. 10:39you're a B2C business or business to
  305. 10:41consumer, then you have to translate
  306. 10:43what it means to look amazing on prom
  307. 10:45night to someone in financial terms or
  308. 10:47how much pain they've felt from not
  309. 10:49having the specific solution in their
  310. 10:51life. So if I buy something and it
  311. 10:53arrives sooner, I'm willing to pay a
  312. 10:54little bit more for that. If I buy
  313. 10:55something and they guarantee it or they
  314. 10:57give me a risk-free or they show me a
  315. 10:59lot of evidence, I'm more likely to pay
  316. 11:00for it and even pay more for it. If
  317. 11:02someone says, "You don't have to do
  318. 11:04anything versus you have a ton of work
  319. 11:05associated with it. I'm more willing to
  320. 11:07pay for it and the dream outcome is to
  321. 11:09make sure that I really want this and
  322. 11:10not something else." And this is
  323. 11:12practically what we can do as business
  324. 11:14owners. How do we make it faster,
  325. 11:16easier, risk-free, and delivered
  326. 11:17exactly how they want it? That was the
  327. 11:20first of three beliefs I had to break
  328. 11:22in order to put a lot of money in my
  329. 11:24veins. The second way to earn money so
  330. 11:26fast that it seems illegal is by
  331. 11:28selling within a rapid cash conversion
  332. 11:30cycle. If you don't know what it is,
  333. 11:31I'll explain it now. This is what
  334. 11:34allowed me to have $ 1,000 in my bank
  335. 11:37account in December of 2016. I had $
  336. 11:391,000 in my bank account after losing
  337. 11:42it all the second time. That was
  338. 11:44actually the first time I lost it all
  339. 11:46and then I lost it all again. So just
  340. 11:49imagine figuratively that I didn't have
  341. 11:51a lot of money. But 10 months later I
  342. 11:53was able to make $ 1,000 in sales and
  343. 11:56make something close to $ 6 million in
  344. 11:58profit. Okay, now here's the crazy part
  345. 12:01. How can you do that? That's equal to
  346. 12:05$ 10,000 in such a short period of time
  347. 12:08. Okay, the first thing is we got a 100
  348. 12:12-to-1 return on our advertising. So for
  349. 12:15every dollar I put in, for example, I
  350. 12:17put $ 1,000 in advertising and I made $
  351. 12:19100,000. Then I put $ 100,000 in ads
  352. 12:22and I made $ 10 million. And that's
  353. 12:25what happened. So the limitation of the
  354. 12:26business was no longer acquisition. But
  355. 12:28the reason that wasn't the limitation,
  356. 12:30that wasn't the thing that was blocking
  357. 12:32me from growing, was because we had
  358. 12:34discovered something I call "customer
  359. 12:36acquisition," which is just a fancy way
  360. 12:38of saying: using your customers 'money
  361. 12:40as a loan to get more customers. Let me
  362. 12:43explain. If someone comes into your
  363. 12:45business today and let's say it cost
  364. 12:47you $ 100 in marketing to get them to
  365. 12:49buy something from you, okay? Simply
  366. 12:51put, it cost me $ 100 to get this guy.
  367. 12:53Now let's say my thing costs 100, okay?
  368. 12:56Now you're thinking, "Oh, I've made my
  369. 12:58investment back." But that thing, just
  370. 13:00like the table, is not going to have a
  371. 13:02100%margin, it's not likely. And if
  372. 13:04it's like the table, I only make $ 50
  373. 13:06on this, but I'm $ 100 in the red
  374. 13:08because I had to spend $ 100 to get it
  375. 13:10in the door. So in fact, right now I'm
  376. 13:13$ 50 in the red on my first transaction
  377. 13:15. Should I make this transaction?
  378. 13:17Unless I have something else to sell,
  379. 13:19then no, because that's spending $ 100
  380. 13:21to make $ 50. Bad deal. Now, if this
  381. 13:23person is going to spend three or four
  382. 13:24times as much in the next few months,
  383. 13:26then yeah, it's worth it. But it's
  384. 13:28still going to take time and I'm going
  385. 13:29to lose money up front. In order to do
  386. 13:31all this, I have to do it a different
  387. 13:33way. And that's kind of the new way of
  388. 13:35doing things. I would get the customer
  389. 13:38for $ 100. The same guy right now is
  390. 13:40smaller for whatever reason. And this
  391. 13:43time I say, "Okay, how can I make this
  392. 13:45guy not just pay for himself?" That's
  393. 13:47the first point. That's breaking even
  394. 13:50on getting clients. But the second
  395. 13:52point is I need to make him able to buy
  396. 13:54my next client from me. And if I know
  397. 13:57that my next client is also going to
  398. 13:58pay me $ 100, that means I want him to
  399. 14:00pay for himself. So I need 100, okay? I
  400. 14:03need my next client, so I need another
  401. 14:05100. And then I need to make sure that
  402. 14:07I recoup the cost of my table, which is
  403. 14:09$ 50. Okay? So I need to make $ 250 on
  404. 14:15this transaction so that I can use
  405. 14:18those dollars to then get my next
  406. 14:21client. And then I repeat this process
  407. 14:24over and over and over again and that
  408. 14:27results in this huge amount of money.
  409. 14:31Because if you had a machine that for
  410. 14:33every dollar you put in, it gave you
  411. 14:36back 100, what would your marketing
  412. 14:38budget be? That would be all you would
  413. 14:40have. And here's the crazy part, is
  414. 14:42that these types of returns pretty much
  415. 14:45only exist in business, like this type
  416. 14:48of arbitrage. So if you look at the
  417. 14:50richest people in the world, they own
  418. 14:52assets, they own businesses that
  419. 14:54generate cash flow. Because the most
  420. 14:56important arbitrage that exists is the
  421. 14:58cost of getting someone to buy
  422. 15:00something from you. And if you have a
  423. 15:02well-established business, how much can
  424. 15:04you get out of that person? And so
  425. 15:06think of it as each business being a
  426. 15:08little investment machine. You pay X to
  427. 15:11acquire clients and you get I back. And
  428. 15:14instead of waiting a year for 10%profit
  429. 15:17on the SIP500, you can wait a day and
  430. 15:20get $ 100 back. And why would you
  431. 15:22invest in anything else? Well, the
  432. 15:24richest people in the world don't.
  433. 15:26They're focused on businesses and
  434. 15:27industries that they understand well.
  435. 15:29And this concept of client acquisition
  436. 15:31funded by them was the big key that I
  437. 15:33discovered. Over the course of my life.
  438. 15:35I've had what I would call a wealth
  439. 15:37leap four times, where my wealth
  440. 15:39changed significantly in a very short
  441. 15:41period of time. And most of the money
  442. 15:44that I've made has been in short bursts
  443. 15:46, followed by a kind of plateau for a
  444. 15:48while. Then I discover something new
  445. 15:50and I get a huge jump in my income. So
  446. 15:52if you're thinking, "Wow, we've been
  447. 15:54stuck for a while now," you're usually
  448. 15:56pretty close to figuring out what the
  449. 15:58bottleneck is. It could have been
  450. 15:59capital. In my case, I didn't have any
  451. 16:01money and this solved my capital
  452. 16:02problem. But what didn't it solve? It
  453. 16:04didn't solve my staffing problem, it
  454. 16:06didn't solve my hiring problem, it
  455. 16:07didn't solve the risk of being locked
  456. 16:09into a key person. None of those
  457. 16:11problems were solved, but it gave me
  458. 16:12enough money to be able to solve those
  459. 16:14problems in the future. So let me put
  460. 16:16that in perspective for you. My weight
  461. 16:18loss business, which was my gyms, which
  462. 16:20are called United Fitness. Okay, United
  463. 16:23Fitness. I was able to open a new
  464. 16:26location every 6 months with cash flow,
  465. 16:28no money out of pocket, using this
  466. 16:30exact same process. So I would put down
  467. 16:32$ 5,000. I would sign a lease. I would
  468. 16:36start spending like $ 100 a day on
  469. 16:38advertising and for every $ 100 I put
  470. 16:41in I would instantly get back $ 2,500
  471. 16:43to $ 3,000. So that the first week I
  472. 16:46would order the equipment, the next
  473. 16:48week I would order the flooring, and
  474. 16:49the week after that I would put in the
  475. 16:51lobby and finish painting. And by the
  476. 16:53fourth week I had made about $ 100,000,
  477. 16:55which is about what it cost to open the
  478. 16:57business and give myself 6 weeks of
  479. 16:59payroll. By the end of the promotion
  480. 17:01that I was selling, which at that time
  481. 17:03was a 6-week challenge, I would have
  482. 17:05somewhere between $ 20,000 and $ 30,000
  483. 17:06of recurring revenue in that gym. But
  484. 17:08it cost me almost nothing out of pocket
  485. 17:11because I let my clients pay for my gym
  486. 17:13. I would say, I'm going to spend $ 5
  487. 17:15on every lead. I'm going to close one
  488. 17:17out of five of $ 500. So I would end up
  489. 17:19paying $ 25 to get one client and make
  490. 17:21$ 500 back. Then I would take the rest
  491. 17:23of that to get another 25 and invest it
  492. 17:25to get another client and make $ 500
  493. 17:27again. And that's how I funded the
  494. 17:29growth of the gyms. That's how I was 23
  495. 17:32, then 24, and 25, I opened six gyms.
  496. 17:35Again, the problem wasn't money, it was
  497. 17:37trainers, it was managers, it was sales
  498. 17:39people. That was what was holding me
  499. 17:41back from growing. This was the first
  500. 17:42time I was introduced to this concept
  501. 17:44and I thought, "Wow, I should do this
  502. 17:46again."“So I launched Gym Launch 1.0,
  503. 17:49where I would fly from gym to gym and
  504. 17:51make $ 100,000 at the gym, but I
  505. 17:53didn’t have to pay for the setup or
  506. 17:56run the gym afterward. So I could keep
  507. 17:58the $ 100,000 to myself with a little
  508. 18:00folding table, probably $ 100 home
  509. 18:02depot. And then just a bunch of
  510. 18:05contracts. I have videos of me going
  511. 18:07around random places and selling all
  512. 18:09day, every day, for 21 days straight.
  513. 18:11And I ended up teaching that system to
  514. 18:13other people, but what I used to spend
  515. 18:16on average on advertising in those
  516. 18:17markets was between $ 1,000 and $ 5,000
  517. 18:20and I would make over $ 100,000 in that
  518. 18:22first month. And that’s how I was
  519. 18:25able to go from having zero to doing
  520. 18:27over 32 launches in about 18 months.
  521. 18:30You know, the third time this alchemy
  522. 18:32of wealth happened was when Jim Launch
  523. 18:34moved to a licensing model. In the
  524. 18:36licensing business, things got really
  525. 18:37cool. crazier because I had less
  526. 18:39operational constraints to scale, so
  527. 18:41here I had to keep increasing the
  528. 18:43number of salespeople because I had to
  529. 18:44fly them in, which wasn't an easy pitch
  530. 18:46to them. Apparently they had wives and
  531. 18:48kids that wanted to see them. Oh my
  532. 18:49gosh. And when I moved into licensing,
  533. 18:52which was basically teaching people how
  534. 18:54to fill these gyms, that's when we went
  535. 18:57from zero to $ 10 million in sales in
  536. 18:5910 months. That's almost, in my opinion
  537. 19:02, crazier than the second full year of
  538. 19:04business that we had. We did about $
  539. 19:0716,000,000 in EVID, okay? That's profit
  540. 19:11, okay? And we had about $ 26,000 in
  541. 19:13total revenue. And again, this is
  542. 19:16coming from someone who lost everything
  543. 19:18at the time because of some bad life
  544. 19:19decisions. And you think, "Well, that
  545. 19:21was just a lucky break that time." So
  546. 19:22the next business I started was
  547. 19:24Prestige Labs, our supplement company.
  548. 19:26We went from zero to $ 1.7 million a
  549. 19:29month. This was at launch, the first
  550. 19:31month, okay? And then you have Alan,
  551. 19:34who went from 0 to 1.7 million a month.
  552. 19:37Curiously, it was the same figure we
  553. 19:39reached in 6 months. So these types of
  554. 19:42numbers can only come about when you
  555. 19:44eliminate capital or money as a way of
  556. 19:46scaling, as that thing that blocks you.
  557. 19:48If you had unlimited money, if you set
  558. 19:50up the right way of acquiring customers
  559. 19:52, you could. If you think this video
  560. 19:55has helped you make more money or could
  561. 19:57help somebody else, you would do me a
  562. 19:58huge favor if you DM it or send it to
  563. 20:00them on WhatsApp so that they can also
  564. 20:02watch it, take advantage of it, and
  565. 20:04associate those benefits with you. So
  566. 20:06what you really want is for that math
  567. 20:08to come out to you wanting two times
  568. 20:11CAC, adding the cost of goods sold to
  569. 20:16equal the cash collected in 30 days.
  570. 20:19Okay? And that's gross profit. You
  571. 20:25might be thinking, "Okay, that sounds
  572. 20:27like a complicated equation, so I'll
  573. 20:29put it in plain English. You want to
  574. 20:32make double what it costs you to
  575. 20:34acquire a customer and serve them in 30
  576. 20:37days based on the money that you
  577. 20:39generate from them over the cost of
  578. 20:41production, right? So if we have, let's
  579. 20:44say, $ 100 to acquire the customer and
  580. 20:46then $ 50 from the cost of the good,
  581. 20:48okay? Then we want to make sure that we
  582. 20:50make $ 300. In fact, I messed up my
  583. 20:52math earlier, so equations are useful,
  584. 20:54right? We want to make sure that we
  585. 20:56make $ 300 from that first customer so
  586. 20:58that in the first 30 days." And you're
  587. 21:00thinking, why is he thinking in 30 days
  588. 21:02? The reason I'm so obsessed with 30
  589. 21:04days is because that's how long anyone
  590. 21:07can have interest-free money. Everybody
  591. 21:09has access to a credit card and it
  592. 21:11doesn't matter what your limit is, even
  593. 21:12if you start with a $ 500 limit, which
  594. 21:14is what most people get when they start
  595. 21:16out, a limit. 500. Guess what? You pay
  596. 21:18it off tomorrow. So if you can get it
  597. 21:20done within that time frame, you're
  598. 21:21only limited by the card. Now, if you
  599. 21:23do it in 7 days, you could repeat that
  600. 21:25cycle four times a month. If you can do
  601. 21:27it every day, then you repeat it 30
  602. 21:28times a month, right? Based on how fast
  603. 21:30you are at collecting the cash back,
  604. 21:32which is called the cash conversion
  605. 21:34cycle. You can accelerate your growth.
  606. 21:37I think the reason most businesses
  607. 21:39don't do this is because they buy into
  608. 21:40the narrative that since others in the
  609. 21:42industry aren't doing it, they can't
  610. 21:44either. And I think that's what keeps a
  611. 21:47lot of business owners poor. The amount
  612. 21:49of businesses we've gone to and we've
  613. 21:51said, "Okay, let's make people pay up
  614. 21:53front for 3 months." And they're like,
  615. 21:55"No, that's their thinking. It's
  616. 21:57standard in the industry to provide the
  617. 21:58service and collect in 60 days." And
  618. 21:59I'm like, "Yeah, well, that's their
  619. 22:01standard, we don't have to do that."
  620. 22:04Well, why don't we give them an
  621. 22:05incentive to pay? "And they're like,"
  622. 22:07Oh, well, what if I do? What? What if
  623. 22:09they say no? "Well, look, sometimes
  624. 22:10they say no these days too, so it's
  625. 22:12better to charge more when they do. And
  626. 22:14then we say," Hey, we just happen to
  627. 22:16bill quarterly and for that convenience
  628. 22:17we give you a 5%discount, which of
  629. 22:19course was already included in the
  630. 22:21price anyway, right? "Or we add some
  631. 22:22kind of onboarding process that people
  632. 22:24would normally charge for separately or
  633. 22:26that we include so that we can charge
  634. 22:28more money up front. And I'm willing to
  635. 22:30give up a lot of things up front so
  636. 22:32that the cost of acquiring customers
  637. 22:34doesn't get in the way of growing the
  638. 22:36business. I never want my ability to
  639. 22:39acquire customers or to raise the money
  640. 22:40to do so to be the thing that limits my
  641. 22:42growth. And I think that's why all of
  642. 22:44these businesses that I just talked
  643. 22:46about went from zero to over a million
  644. 22:47a month in less than a year. And I say
  645. 22:49in less than a year as a rough
  646. 22:51indication. Most people did it in 6
  647. 22:52months. If you want to make more money,
  648. 22:54ask to get paid sooner. Think about
  649. 22:55that for a second. So if you're an
  650. 22:57employee and you're making minimum wage
  651. 22:59, right? You work first and then you
  652. 23:02get paid later, right? Now, if you're
  653. 23:06self-employed, sometimes you can work
  654. 23:08and then get paid, but usually you get
  655. 23:10paid and then you work. If you're a
  656. 23:13surgeon, you get paid and then months
  657. 23:15go by and then you do the surgery. If
  658. 23:17you're an insurance company, you get
  659. 23:19paid and then you may never have to
  660. 23:21work again. And if you're a church, you
  661. 23:23get paid out of someone's income, out
  662. 23:25of their billings, a royalty that goes
  663. 23:27directly to the church. Now, royalties
  664. 23:30work the same way as liens. So if
  665. 23:33someone owes you money, you can take a
  666. 23:34little bit of what they owe you. You
  667. 23:36can keep a portion of it. Basically,
  668. 23:38your position in what's called the
  669. 23:40equity stack is based on your leverage
  670. 23:42in this situation. And if it's up to
  671. 23:44you, you're better off getting paid up
  672. 23:46front than getting paid later. Now
  673. 23:48you're probably thinking," Yeah, but
  674. 23:51how do I get all that money up front?
  675. 23:53How do I get people to spend more with
  676. 23:56me faster? "Well, it boils down to one,
  677. 23:58you can either raise the price of your
  678. 24:01product or two, get people to buy more
  679. 24:03stuff right away. And so one of the big
  680. 24:06misconceptions that business owners
  681. 24:07have is they're afraid to make offers.
  682. 24:09And I want to be really clear, you
  683. 24:10don't want to push someone to do
  684. 24:11something. People like to be sold to,
  685. 24:13but they love to buy. Think about all
  686. 24:14the money Amazon makes because people
  687. 24:16love to buy. So what we want to do is
  688. 24:18make offers when it's convenient for
  689. 24:20them to accept them. An offer only
  690. 24:22fails if it's something they don't want
  691. 24:24or you present it to them at the wrong
  692. 24:26time. Or you know, the advanced version
  693. 24:273 doesn't work because it's not
  694. 24:29delivered in the way that they want it.
  695. 24:31And I'll tell you a quick story about
  696. 24:32that. When I was in the weight loss
  697. 24:35business, we found that there were some
  698. 24:36customers who would come in and they
  699. 24:38didn't want to buy gym memberships. And
  700. 24:40I was like," Well, that's boring. "But
  701. 24:42then I thought," Hey, why don't I
  702. 24:44invite them to a nutrition seminar? "We
  703. 24:46invite them to a nutrition seminar,
  704. 24:47even if they say no to our services.
  705. 24:49They come in for a gym membership, we
  706. 24:50try to sell it to them, they say no,
  707. 24:51and I say," Hey, can I just help you
  708. 24:53with the food? "And they say yes. Then
  709. 24:55they go to the nutrition seminar and
  710. 24:57they buy more than the average person
  711. 24:59who bought gym memberships. We just
  712. 25:01needed to make them a different offer
  713. 25:04to solve the same problem. They wanted
  714. 25:06to continue losing weight, they just
  715. 25:07didn't feel like sweating. They wanted
  716. 25:09to take supplements and eat differently
  717. 25:11. Perfect. So learning how to make
  718. 25:14multiple offers to a customer is not
  719. 25:15only beneficial to them, because you're
  720. 25:17helping them solve their problem in
  721. 25:19more ways, but it's also beneficial to
  722. 25:20you, because you get more money up
  723. 25:22front. So thinking about how to get
  724. 25:24someone to buy, because there's
  725. 25:25something people get into called an
  726. 25:27accelerated buying cycle. So if someone
  727. 25:29makes any kind of new decision,
  728. 25:30especially one like," Okay, now I will
  729. 25:32start gardening, I just bought this new
  730. 25:34car, or I am going to run a marathon, "
  731. 25:36there are these little cycles that
  732. 25:38people enter; there are these specific
  733. 25:39buying windows. And what a traditional
  734. 25:41business owner would say, let us assume
  735. 25:43somebody is going to run a marathon,
  736. 25:44they sign up for the marathon, and then
  737. 25:45they go to the running store. Upon
  738. 25:46arriving at the running store, they
  739. 25:47must buy shoes. Now, the shop owner
  740. 25:50says," I do not want to offer them cool
  741. 25:50socks, an iPod armband, or new tank
  742. 25:51tops. "When they go to the running
  743. 25:51store, they have to buy some running
  744. 25:52shoes. Now the running store owner says
  745. 25:55," I don't want to offer them fancy
  746. 25:55socks, or an iPod wristband, or new
  747. 25:56tank tops. I don't want to. I don't
  748. 25:57want to seem pushy. "But what are they
  749. 25:59going to do? They're still going to buy
  750. 26:01that stuff because they want to have
  751. 26:02all the stuff. So there's a natural
  752. 26:05problem-solution cycle that repeats
  753. 26:07itself over and over again with every
  754. 26:09purchase a customer makes, as long as
  755. 26:12the first problem is solved with the
  756. 26:14first purchase. And that in turn opens
  757. 26:17up the next problem. Once you have the
  758. 26:19shoes, what else do you need? You're
  759. 26:21going to need socks. Once you have the
  760. 26:22socks, you need shorts. And once you
  761. 26:24have the shorts, you need a tank top
  762. 26:26that doesn't rub under your armpits.
  763. 26:28You're also going to need an iPod
  764. 26:29holder. All these different things.
  765. 26:31Plus, you're going to want the bib. You
  766. 26:33might want a trainer, you might want an
  767. 26:34app, you might want a hydration
  768. 26:36accessory. There's also supplements.
  769. 26:37There's all these different things that
  770. 26:39come out of that and everyone's afraid
  771. 26:41to ask. So just make the offer
  772. 26:43available and if they don't accept it,
  773. 26:45that's fine. If you're the type of
  774. 26:46person who gets offended because you
  775. 26:48buy something and then on the
  776. 26:49confirmation page it says," Hey, do you
  777. 26:50want this too? "" Well, the company
  778. 26:52doesn't really care. I should say that
  779. 26:54because other people won't mind and
  780. 26:55they'll be happy that you made it
  781. 26:57available to them and more conveniently
  782. 26:59. Ultimately you're providing more
  783. 27:00value and you're getting rewarded for
  784. 27:02it. Yeah. And for each of these sales
  785. 27:04that you want to make, you still have
  786. 27:05to think about each of the components
  787. 27:07of the value equation. So you're still
  788. 27:08thinking about, what's the ideal
  789. 27:09outcome that they want to achieve? How
  790. 27:11can I do it without risk to them? How
  791. 27:12do I make it faster and easier? So,
  792. 27:14number one, we're charging as much as
  793. 27:16we can because we're doing it based on
  794. 27:18value, not cost. The second thing we do
  795. 27:20is restructure the economics of the
  796. 27:21business. How do we upsell or downsell
  797. 27:23so that we can make more money in the
  798. 27:25first 30 days? So that we can make
  799. 27:27enough to pay this customer and the
  800. 27:28next customer and service them both in
  801. 27:30the same amount of time, so that
  802. 27:31neither money nor customer acquisition
  803. 27:33is a constraint. The third way to make
  804. 27:35money so fast that it seems illegal is
  805. 27:37to understand the alchemy of wealth.
  806. 27:40and ignore taxes or play the game
  807. 27:42nicely. Let me give you an example.
  808. 27:45Let's say you're giving away free
  809. 27:46trials of your product. Okay, perfect,
  810. 27:48that makes sense. We're giving away
  811. 27:50free trials.
