- 0:00Do you want me to tell you something
- 0:01absolutely crazy? In a single year, I
- 0:04made more than the CEOs of McDonald's,
- 0:06Ford, Motorola, Yahoo, and Ikea, all
- 0:08combined, just for me as a 20-something
- 0:10year old kid. Trust me, no one was more
- 0:13surprised than I was. Today I'm going
- 0:16to show you how to make money so fast
- 0:18it's almost illegal. The number one way
- 0:21to make money is to understand how
- 0:23value is created. I'll tell you a story
- 0:25. I sent my dad a picture of our
- 0:27biggest annual event, the one we hosted
- 0:29at the company for the gym owners we
- 0:31worked with on a license basis. We had
- 0:33a room full of over 700 people, and my
- 0:36dad was like, "Wow, that's a lot of
- 0:38people." He said, "And how much did
- 0:40they pay to be there?" I said, "42,000
- 0:43a year." He said, "Oh my gosh, but they
- 0:45know they're paying that much," and I
- 0:47said, "Of course they do, it's not like
- 0:49I'm secretly taking money out of their
- 0:51accounts." And no. He was like, "Okay."
- 0:54And instead of answering him rudely, I
- 0:56said, "Well, let's look at it together.
- 0:58" And I asked him, "Imagine if you
- 1:01could pay and get five in return, would
- 1:04you do it?" And he goes and says, "Well
- 1:06, it depends." And I said, "It depends
- 1:08on what." And he goes, "Well, what are
- 1:10the chances that that five to one would
- 1:12actually happen?" And I said, "That's
- 1:14the average." Some are below average
- 1:16and some are above average. And he said
- 1:18, "Okay, that sounds like a fair bet.
- 1:20And what would I have to do?" And I
- 1:21said, good question, you would have to
- 1:24dedicate probably more than 10 hours a
- 1:26week to implement a new model well
- 1:28within your business. And he says, "
- 1:30Okay, and how long would it take from
- 1:31the time I start until I see those
- 1:33results?" And I said, "About a year."
- 1:36And he said, "Okay, well, then yes I
- 1:39think I would." And that reasoning was
- 1:43like the first big key to making so
- 1:45much money that it almost seems illegal
- 1:48, that you can't sell with your own
- 1:50wallet in mind. You have to sell based
- 1:53on the value that you're creating for
- 1:55someone else. That's how we could
- 1:57charge quite a bit more and earn much
- 1:59more than anyone else in my field.
- 2:01Everybody else in my field was only
- 2:04charging a tenth of what I was charging
- 2:07or rather what I was getting from the
- 2:09market. And the reason that was
- 2:12possible is because I use something I
- 2:13call the value equation. There are four
- 2:15components to that equation and I'm not
- 2:16going to go into them in depth here,
- 2:18but I'll summarize them for you. The
- 2:19first is the dream outcome, which is
- 2:21what is the big thing that people want
- 2:23to achieve. In this case, they might
- 2:25want to earn more from their gym,
- 2:27perhaps lose some weight, mend their
- 2:28relationship, or simply look cool in
- 2:30front of their friends; whatever it may
- 2:32be. The next thing is the perceived
- 2:34probability of getting it or,
- 2:36conversely, the risk. How likely is it
- 2:38that when I buy this, I'm actually
- 2:39going to get what I want? When he asked
- 2:41me, what are the odds? What he was
- 2:43really asking was exactly this. The
- 2:46next question is time. How long is it
- 2:48going to be from the time I start until
- 2:50I get it done? And the longer that time
- 2:52frame is, the less valuable what you're
- 2:54offering is. And then there's effort
- 2:57and sacrifice. How much effort am I
- 2:59going to have to put in? What are the
- 3:00things I'm going to have to start doing
- 3:01that I don't want to do? Or stop doing
- 3:03the things that I do want to do? Just
- 3:05to be clear, the reason I came up with
- 3:07this value equation is because for a
- 3:09long time I'd heard people say, "It
- 3:10adds value, it creates value," and I
- 3:12thought, "Okay, but what does that
- 3:13really mean? How do you create value?"
- 3:15So I set out to try to figure out what
- 3:17makes me want to buy things. So in a
- 3:20hypothetical example, you would want
- 3:22something that was immediate,
- 3:23effortless, guaranteed, and exactly how
- 3:25they wanted it, in the way they wanted
- 3:28it. That would be the most valuable
- 3:30version of anything you could possibly
- 3:32sell. And then you'd say, "Let's say
- 3:34our average is 100,000 in a B2B
- 3:36environment." That could be because
- 3:38it's a monetary outcome and if it's a
- 3:40B2C environment selling to the consumer
- 3:42, then we have to abstract the value of
- 3:44things like getting into your high
- 3:46school jeans again, looking good at
- 3:47prom, or just feeling good every day,
- 3:49whatever it may be. And we have this
- 3:52return on investment, okay? And then we
- 3:55apply a sort of discount to that which
- 3:58reflects the risk. Are you following me
- 4:00? One is in the future. I would pay
- 4:02more for something that's guaranteed
- 4:04and immediate than for something that's
- 4:06not guaranteed and in a time frame.
- 4:07Let's say I sell tables, okay? It's a
- 4:10retail product and your first thought
- 4:12is, "That's gonna be super hot." Well,
- 4:14I'm not so sure. Think about it this
- 4:16way. At the lowest level, you can buy a
- 4:19plastic folding table at a Home Depot
- 4:21or a Walmart for, I don't know, $ 50 or
- 4:24$ 100. I haven't looked up how much
- 4:26those tables cost. On the other hand,
- 4:29you can buy a $ 2,000 hand-carved
- 4:31wooden table. Both allow you to put
- 4:34things on it and eat, right? The idea
- 4:37is how can we position our stuff
- 4:39differently than others. Now, if that's
- 4:42not the dream outcome of that table, I
- 4:44need to have something that I can put
- 4:46things on. The ideal outcome would be
- 4:48that when people come into my home,
- 4:50they're immediately impressed. Now
- 4:51we're tying it back to status. This is
- 4:53business because B2B is actually pretty
- 4:55straightforward. This is what it costs
- 4:57and then the rest of your time is spent
- 4:59trying to make it easier, lower risk,
- 5:01faster. In consumer business, sometimes
- 5:04you have to spend a little bit more
- 5:05time translating what that status boost
- 5:08means to them and how important it can
- 5:09be or conversely how horrible and
- 5:11painful it is for them not to have it.
- 5:14So if we have this big, expensive table
- 5:16, we say, "Okay, here's the status."
- 5:18The risk of that not happening is where
- 5:20we can show trends that show that this
- 5:21is something that's growing and that a
- 5:23lot of people understand the value of
- 5:24it. So the risk of them not getting the
- 5:26status is reduced. The timing issue
- 5:27would be something like, "Hey, I can
- 5:29have this at your place before the end
- 5:30of the day." And the person thinks, "
- 5:31Wow, I have time for the dinner party
- 5:33that I'm hosting tonight when my boss
- 5:34is coming over." And then there's the
- 5:36effort and the sacrifice. Relax, with
- 5:38our premium service we make sure to get
- 5:40it in the door even if it's a huge
- 5:41piece of equipment and we'll assemble
- 5:43it right there. All you have to do is
- 5:45say yes right now and you'll have it at
- 5:46your place tonight, ready to have
- 5:48dinner on tomorrow when your guests
- 5:49arrive. Now we've tied their purchasing
- 5:51decision to all the value components
- 5:53and that's how we get them to be
- 5:55willing to spend $ 20,000 because it's
- 5:57not about the wood, it's not about the
- 5:59table, it's about how much status it
- 6:01brings them in that context and on top
- 6:03of that they keep it forever, right?
- 6:05And that's how we have to break down
- 6:06what we're selling because a lot of you
- 6:08are selling tables and pricing them
- 6:10like they're made of plastic, but then
- 6:11you try to do the job halfway, but you
- 6:13can't make the margins with a premium
- 6:15service because people are like, "I
- 6:16only want to pay $ 100." And you're
- 6:18like, "I'll deliver it." And they're
- 6:19like, "Oh, I have to set it up myself."
- 6:21And all of a sudden they're saying, "
- 6:23When if you had just charged more and
- 6:24positioned it differently, you could
- 6:26have given them all these things that
- 6:27they really want." The reason this is
- 6:29so important is because price is the
- 6:31biggest factor in profit. Imagine
- 6:33there's a before, okay? You sell your
- 6:35tables and then there's an after. This
- 6:37obviously works for services or
- 6:39anything else that you sell. Imagine
- 6:42you charge $ 100 for your table, okay?
- 6:45And your cost for that table is, I'm
- 6:47going to be a little bit extreme, let's
- 6:49say $ 50. Okay, now let's say you have
- 6:52other costs like marketing, sales, and
- 6:55stuff like that that add up to $ 30,
- 6:57okay? That means your net profit from
- 6:59selling a table is going to be $. The
- 7:01gross profit would be $ 50, but the net
- 7:03profit stays at $ 20. Now imagine we
- 7:06rebrand our table as something valuable
- 7:09and it becomes a $ 1,000 table. Okay,
- 7:12now the cost of the table itself is
- 7:14probably $ 50, but let's say we add in
- 7:17some extras, hand delivery and things
- 7:19like that, okay? Okay. Let's say
- 7:21delivery costs another $ 200 because
- 7:23you send one of your guys, the truck,
- 7:25the gas, whatever. So now we have 250
- 7:28total. Great. And then there's the
- 7:31other costs. Maybe your selling costs
- 7:33go up a little bit to sell this because
- 7:34you need to get more leads. So let's
- 7:36leave it at 130. Okay, so what's the
- 7:38actual net profit that we made with
- 7:41this table? We have 380. I wish I had
- 7:43done the math easier, but I think it's
- 7:46620, okay? So $ 620 profit. And this is
- 7:51how you can get ridiculously rich in a
- 7:53very short period of time, simply by
- 7:55repositioning what you're selling based
- 7:58on the value it provides to the other
- 8:00person, rather than based on what it
- 8:02costs you. And to put that into context
- 8:04, that's multiplying your profit by 31.
- 8:07Let me tell you a quick story. There
- 8:09was a guy in the exact same field as me
- 8:10who paid me a day's worth of consulting
- 8:12years ago, and when I looked at his
- 8:14numbers, the fascinating thing was that
- 8:16he was actually selling to the same
- 8:17number of people per month as me. So he
- 8:20was spending the same amount on
- 8:21marketing, he had the same number of
- 8:22sales people, and he was closing about
- 8:24the same amount as us. And the
- 8:26interesting thing about all this, and
- 8:28it was a huge lesson that I learned, is
- 8:29that CAC, the cost of acquiring a new
- 8:31customer in an industry, as long as
- 8:33you're fairly good at marketing, pretty
- 8:35much doesn't change that much. Would
- 8:37you be surprised? I review a gazillion
- 8:39companies every year and between
- 8:40industries like a local plumber and
- 8:42another local plumber it's not going to
- 8:44be that different. The big difference,
- 8:47though, is that we were able to make
- 8:49about eight times more money per
- 8:51customer than this guy was making. But
- 8:54here's the kicker. We were making about
- 8:5750 times more revenue and all because
- 8:59of this. So we had eight times more
- 9:02money, but that ultimately came out to,
- 9:04remember, this is 1 times 10, right? So
- 9:06this was 10 times the price, but that
- 9:08ended up being 31 times the revenue,
- 9:10and that's why price is such a powerful
- 9:12lever for how much you earn. Now, where
- 9:14the competition starts is when somebody
- 9:16else can do the same thing that you can
- 9:18do for less. There was a McKinsey
- 9:21survey where they looked at a bunch of
- 9:24companies and 85%of them competed on
- 9:28price, but only 13%won on price. So
- 9:32it's literally the worst possible
- 9:33strategy because there's only one
- 9:35person who wins by being the cheapest.
- 9:37Dan Kennedy made it very clear. There's
- 9:39no prize for being the second cheapest
- 9:41in your competition. All you're doing
- 9:44is losing a lot of money. Whereas there
- 9:47is an advantage to being more expensive
- 9:50and that's directly related to how much
- 9:53value you're able to bring to each
- 9:55person. So again, the key is to think
- 9:58about what is this worth and then I can
- 10:00deliver it to them and by eliminating
- 10:02the risk by making it faster and easier
- 10:05for them, I'm discounting less of the
- 10:07value that I know I can bring to them.
- 10:10The 2011 version of this is selling to
- 10:12the customer's future wallet, not
- 10:14today's wallet. And then the way we
- 10:16break that value down, let's say it's
- 10:19100,000 worth of value. There will be a
- 10:22discount that can be applied to that
- 10:24100,000 based on the probability which
- 10:26is the risk. It will depend on how long
- 10:29it takes. That's the time factor. How
- 10:32easy is it and how much effort do they
- 10:34have to put in? And then the dream
- 10:35outcome which if what they want is to
- 10:37make more money, that's clear. Now, if
- 10:39you're a B2C business or business to
- 10:41consumer, then you have to translate
- 10:43what it means to look amazing on prom
- 10:45night to someone in financial terms or
- 10:47how much pain they've felt from not
- 10:49having the specific solution in their
- 10:51life. So if I buy something and it
- 10:53arrives sooner, I'm willing to pay a
- 10:54little bit more for that. If I buy
- 10:55something and they guarantee it or they
- 10:57give me a risk-free or they show me a
- 10:59lot of evidence, I'm more likely to pay
- 11:00for it and even pay more for it. If
- 11:02someone says, "You don't have to do
- 11:04anything versus you have a ton of work
- 11:05associated with it. I'm more willing to
- 11:07pay for it and the dream outcome is to
- 11:09make sure that I really want this and
- 11:10not something else." And this is
- 11:12practically what we can do as business
- 11:14owners. How do we make it faster,
- 11:16easier, risk-free, and delivered
- 11:17exactly how they want it? That was the
- 11:20first of three beliefs I had to break
- 11:22in order to put a lot of money in my
- 11:24veins. The second way to earn money so
- 11:26fast that it seems illegal is by
- 11:28selling within a rapid cash conversion
- 11:30cycle. If you don't know what it is,
- 11:31I'll explain it now. This is what
- 11:34allowed me to have $ 1,000 in my bank
- 11:37account in December of 2016. I had $
- 11:391,000 in my bank account after losing
- 11:42it all the second time. That was
- 11:44actually the first time I lost it all
- 11:46and then I lost it all again. So just
- 11:49imagine figuratively that I didn't have
- 11:51a lot of money. But 10 months later I
- 11:53was able to make $ 1,000 in sales and
- 11:56make something close to $ 6 million in
- 11:58profit. Okay, now here's the crazy part
- 12:01. How can you do that? That's equal to
- 12:05$ 10,000 in such a short period of time
- 12:08. Okay, the first thing is we got a 100
- 12:12-to-1 return on our advertising. So for
- 12:15every dollar I put in, for example, I
- 12:17put $ 1,000 in advertising and I made $
- 12:19100,000. Then I put $ 100,000 in ads
- 12:22and I made $ 10 million. And that's
- 12:25what happened. So the limitation of the
- 12:26business was no longer acquisition. But
- 12:28the reason that wasn't the limitation,
- 12:30that wasn't the thing that was blocking
- 12:32me from growing, was because we had
- 12:34discovered something I call "customer
- 12:36acquisition," which is just a fancy way
- 12:38of saying: using your customers 'money
- 12:40as a loan to get more customers. Let me
- 12:43explain. If someone comes into your
- 12:45business today and let's say it cost
- 12:47you $ 100 in marketing to get them to
- 12:49buy something from you, okay? Simply
- 12:51put, it cost me $ 100 to get this guy.
- 12:53Now let's say my thing costs 100, okay?
- 12:56Now you're thinking, "Oh, I've made my
- 12:58investment back." But that thing, just
- 13:00like the table, is not going to have a
- 13:02100%margin, it's not likely. And if
- 13:04it's like the table, I only make $ 50
- 13:06on this, but I'm $ 100 in the red
- 13:08because I had to spend $ 100 to get it
- 13:10in the door. So in fact, right now I'm
- 13:13$ 50 in the red on my first transaction
- 13:15. Should I make this transaction?
- 13:17Unless I have something else to sell,
- 13:19then no, because that's spending $ 100
- 13:21to make $ 50. Bad deal. Now, if this
- 13:23person is going to spend three or four
- 13:24times as much in the next few months,
- 13:26then yeah, it's worth it. But it's
- 13:28still going to take time and I'm going
- 13:29to lose money up front. In order to do
- 13:31all this, I have to do it a different
- 13:33way. And that's kind of the new way of
- 13:35doing things. I would get the customer
- 13:38for $ 100. The same guy right now is
- 13:40smaller for whatever reason. And this
- 13:43time I say, "Okay, how can I make this
- 13:45guy not just pay for himself?" That's
- 13:47the first point. That's breaking even
- 13:50on getting clients. But the second
- 13:52point is I need to make him able to buy
- 13:54my next client from me. And if I know
- 13:57that my next client is also going to
- 13:58pay me $ 100, that means I want him to
- 14:00pay for himself. So I need 100, okay? I
- 14:03need my next client, so I need another
- 14:05100. And then I need to make sure that
- 14:07I recoup the cost of my table, which is
- 14:09$ 50. Okay? So I need to make $ 250 on
- 14:15this transaction so that I can use
- 14:18those dollars to then get my next
- 14:21client. And then I repeat this process
- 14:24over and over and over again and that
- 14:27results in this huge amount of money.
- 14:31Because if you had a machine that for
- 14:33every dollar you put in, it gave you
- 14:36back 100, what would your marketing
- 14:38budget be? That would be all you would
- 14:40have. And here's the crazy part, is
- 14:42that these types of returns pretty much
- 14:45only exist in business, like this type
- 14:48of arbitrage. So if you look at the
- 14:50richest people in the world, they own
- 14:52assets, they own businesses that
- 14:54generate cash flow. Because the most
- 14:56important arbitrage that exists is the
- 14:58cost of getting someone to buy
- 15:00something from you. And if you have a
- 15:02well-established business, how much can
- 15:04you get out of that person? And so
- 15:06think of it as each business being a
- 15:08little investment machine. You pay X to
- 15:11acquire clients and you get I back. And
- 15:14instead of waiting a year for 10%profit
- 15:17on the SIP500, you can wait a day and
- 15:20get $ 100 back. And why would you
- 15:22invest in anything else? Well, the
- 15:24richest people in the world don't.
- 15:26They're focused on businesses and
- 15:27industries that they understand well.
- 15:29And this concept of client acquisition
- 15:31funded by them was the big key that I
- 15:33discovered. Over the course of my life.
- 15:35I've had what I would call a wealth
- 15:37leap four times, where my wealth
- 15:39changed significantly in a very short
- 15:41period of time. And most of the money
- 15:44that I've made has been in short bursts
- 15:46, followed by a kind of plateau for a
- 15:48while. Then I discover something new
- 15:50and I get a huge jump in my income. So
- 15:52if you're thinking, "Wow, we've been
- 15:54stuck for a while now," you're usually
- 15:56pretty close to figuring out what the
- 15:58bottleneck is. It could have been
- 15:59capital. In my case, I didn't have any
- 16:01money and this solved my capital
- 16:02problem. But what didn't it solve? It
- 16:04didn't solve my staffing problem, it
- 16:06didn't solve my hiring problem, it
- 16:07didn't solve the risk of being locked
- 16:09into a key person. None of those
- 16:11problems were solved, but it gave me
- 16:12enough money to be able to solve those
- 16:14problems in the future. So let me put
- 16:16that in perspective for you. My weight
- 16:18loss business, which was my gyms, which
- 16:20are called United Fitness. Okay, United
- 16:23Fitness. I was able to open a new
- 16:26location every 6 months with cash flow,
- 16:28no money out of pocket, using this
- 16:30exact same process. So I would put down
- 16:32$ 5,000. I would sign a lease. I would
- 16:36start spending like $ 100 a day on
- 16:38advertising and for every $ 100 I put
- 16:41in I would instantly get back $ 2,500
- 16:43to $ 3,000. So that the first week I
- 16:46would order the equipment, the next
- 16:48week I would order the flooring, and
- 16:49the week after that I would put in the
- 16:51lobby and finish painting. And by the
- 16:53fourth week I had made about $ 100,000,
- 16:55which is about what it cost to open the
- 16:57business and give myself 6 weeks of
- 16:59payroll. By the end of the promotion
- 17:01that I was selling, which at that time
- 17:03was a 6-week challenge, I would have
- 17:05somewhere between $ 20,000 and $ 30,000
- 17:06of recurring revenue in that gym. But
- 17:08it cost me almost nothing out of pocket
- 17:11because I let my clients pay for my gym
- 17:13. I would say, I'm going to spend $ 5
- 17:15on every lead. I'm going to close one
- 17:17out of five of $ 500. So I would end up
- 17:19paying $ 25 to get one client and make
- 17:21$ 500 back. Then I would take the rest
- 17:23of that to get another 25 and invest it
- 17:25to get another client and make $ 500
- 17:27again. And that's how I funded the
- 17:29growth of the gyms. That's how I was 23
- 17:32, then 24, and 25, I opened six gyms.
- 17:35Again, the problem wasn't money, it was
- 17:37trainers, it was managers, it was sales
- 17:39people. That was what was holding me
- 17:41back from growing. This was the first
- 17:42time I was introduced to this concept
- 17:44and I thought, "Wow, I should do this
- 17:46again."“So I launched Gym Launch 1.0,
- 17:49where I would fly from gym to gym and
- 17:51make $ 100,000 at the gym, but I
- 17:53didn’t have to pay for the setup or
- 17:56run the gym afterward. So I could keep
- 17:58the $ 100,000 to myself with a little
- 18:00folding table, probably $ 100 home
- 18:02depot. And then just a bunch of
- 18:05contracts. I have videos of me going
- 18:07around random places and selling all
- 18:09day, every day, for 21 days straight.
- 18:11And I ended up teaching that system to
- 18:13other people, but what I used to spend
- 18:16on average on advertising in those
- 18:17markets was between $ 1,000 and $ 5,000
- 18:20and I would make over $ 100,000 in that
- 18:22first month. And that’s how I was
- 18:25able to go from having zero to doing
- 18:27over 32 launches in about 18 months.
- 18:30You know, the third time this alchemy
- 18:32of wealth happened was when Jim Launch
- 18:34moved to a licensing model. In the
- 18:36licensing business, things got really
- 18:37cool. crazier because I had less
- 18:39operational constraints to scale, so
- 18:41here I had to keep increasing the
- 18:43number of salespeople because I had to
- 18:44fly them in, which wasn't an easy pitch
- 18:46to them. Apparently they had wives and
- 18:48kids that wanted to see them. Oh my
- 18:49gosh. And when I moved into licensing,
- 18:52which was basically teaching people how
- 18:54to fill these gyms, that's when we went
- 18:57from zero to $ 10 million in sales in
- 18:5910 months. That's almost, in my opinion
- 19:02, crazier than the second full year of
- 19:04business that we had. We did about $
- 19:0716,000,000 in EVID, okay? That's profit
- 19:11, okay? And we had about $ 26,000 in
- 19:13total revenue. And again, this is
- 19:16coming from someone who lost everything
- 19:18at the time because of some bad life
- 19:19decisions. And you think, "Well, that
- 19:21was just a lucky break that time." So
- 19:22the next business I started was
- 19:24Prestige Labs, our supplement company.
- 19:26We went from zero to $ 1.7 million a
- 19:29month. This was at launch, the first
- 19:31month, okay? And then you have Alan,
- 19:34who went from 0 to 1.7 million a month.
- 19:37Curiously, it was the same figure we
- 19:39reached in 6 months. So these types of
- 19:42numbers can only come about when you
- 19:44eliminate capital or money as a way of
- 19:46scaling, as that thing that blocks you.
- 19:48If you had unlimited money, if you set
- 19:50up the right way of acquiring customers
- 19:52, you could. If you think this video
- 19:55has helped you make more money or could
- 19:57help somebody else, you would do me a
- 19:58huge favor if you DM it or send it to
- 20:00them on WhatsApp so that they can also
- 20:02watch it, take advantage of it, and
- 20:04associate those benefits with you. So
- 20:06what you really want is for that math
- 20:08to come out to you wanting two times
- 20:11CAC, adding the cost of goods sold to
- 20:16equal the cash collected in 30 days.
- 20:19Okay? And that's gross profit. You
- 20:25might be thinking, "Okay, that sounds
- 20:27like a complicated equation, so I'll
- 20:29put it in plain English. You want to
- 20:32make double what it costs you to
- 20:34acquire a customer and serve them in 30
- 20:37days based on the money that you
- 20:39generate from them over the cost of
- 20:41production, right? So if we have, let's
- 20:44say, $ 100 to acquire the customer and
- 20:46then $ 50 from the cost of the good,
- 20:48okay? Then we want to make sure that we
- 20:50make $ 300. In fact, I messed up my
- 20:52math earlier, so equations are useful,
- 20:54right? We want to make sure that we
- 20:56make $ 300 from that first customer so
- 20:58that in the first 30 days." And you're
- 21:00thinking, why is he thinking in 30 days
- 21:02? The reason I'm so obsessed with 30
- 21:04days is because that's how long anyone
- 21:07can have interest-free money. Everybody
- 21:09has access to a credit card and it
- 21:11doesn't matter what your limit is, even
- 21:12if you start with a $ 500 limit, which
- 21:14is what most people get when they start
- 21:16out, a limit. 500. Guess what? You pay
- 21:18it off tomorrow. So if you can get it
- 21:20done within that time frame, you're
- 21:21only limited by the card. Now, if you
- 21:23do it in 7 days, you could repeat that
- 21:25cycle four times a month. If you can do
- 21:27it every day, then you repeat it 30
- 21:28times a month, right? Based on how fast
- 21:30you are at collecting the cash back,
- 21:32which is called the cash conversion
- 21:34cycle. You can accelerate your growth.
- 21:37I think the reason most businesses
- 21:39don't do this is because they buy into
- 21:40the narrative that since others in the
- 21:42industry aren't doing it, they can't
- 21:44either. And I think that's what keeps a
- 21:47lot of business owners poor. The amount
- 21:49of businesses we've gone to and we've
- 21:51said, "Okay, let's make people pay up
- 21:53front for 3 months." And they're like,
- 21:55"No, that's their thinking. It's
- 21:57standard in the industry to provide the
- 21:58service and collect in 60 days." And
- 21:59I'm like, "Yeah, well, that's their
- 22:01standard, we don't have to do that."
- 22:04Well, why don't we give them an
- 22:05incentive to pay? "And they're like,"
- 22:07Oh, well, what if I do? What? What if
- 22:09they say no? "Well, look, sometimes
- 22:10they say no these days too, so it's
- 22:12better to charge more when they do. And
- 22:14then we say," Hey, we just happen to
- 22:16bill quarterly and for that convenience
- 22:17we give you a 5%discount, which of
- 22:19course was already included in the
- 22:21price anyway, right? "Or we add some
- 22:22kind of onboarding process that people
- 22:24would normally charge for separately or
- 22:26that we include so that we can charge
- 22:28more money up front. And I'm willing to
- 22:30give up a lot of things up front so
- 22:32that the cost of acquiring customers
- 22:34doesn't get in the way of growing the
- 22:36business. I never want my ability to
- 22:39acquire customers or to raise the money
- 22:40to do so to be the thing that limits my
- 22:42growth. And I think that's why all of
- 22:44these businesses that I just talked
- 22:46about went from zero to over a million
- 22:47a month in less than a year. And I say
- 22:49in less than a year as a rough
- 22:51indication. Most people did it in 6
- 22:52months. If you want to make more money,
- 22:54ask to get paid sooner. Think about
- 22:55that for a second. So if you're an
- 22:57employee and you're making minimum wage
- 22:59, right? You work first and then you
- 23:02get paid later, right? Now, if you're
- 23:06self-employed, sometimes you can work
- 23:08and then get paid, but usually you get
- 23:10paid and then you work. If you're a
- 23:13surgeon, you get paid and then months
- 23:15go by and then you do the surgery. If
- 23:17you're an insurance company, you get
- 23:19paid and then you may never have to
- 23:21work again. And if you're a church, you
- 23:23get paid out of someone's income, out
- 23:25of their billings, a royalty that goes
- 23:27directly to the church. Now, royalties
- 23:30work the same way as liens. So if
- 23:33someone owes you money, you can take a
- 23:34little bit of what they owe you. You
- 23:36can keep a portion of it. Basically,
- 23:38your position in what's called the
- 23:40equity stack is based on your leverage
- 23:42in this situation. And if it's up to
- 23:44you, you're better off getting paid up
- 23:46front than getting paid later. Now
- 23:48you're probably thinking," Yeah, but
- 23:51how do I get all that money up front?
- 23:53How do I get people to spend more with
- 23:56me faster? "Well, it boils down to one,
- 23:58you can either raise the price of your
- 24:01product or two, get people to buy more
- 24:03stuff right away. And so one of the big
- 24:06misconceptions that business owners
- 24:07have is they're afraid to make offers.
- 24:09And I want to be really clear, you
- 24:10don't want to push someone to do
- 24:11something. People like to be sold to,
- 24:13but they love to buy. Think about all
- 24:14the money Amazon makes because people
- 24:16love to buy. So what we want to do is
- 24:18make offers when it's convenient for
- 24:20them to accept them. An offer only
- 24:22fails if it's something they don't want
- 24:24or you present it to them at the wrong
- 24:26time. Or you know, the advanced version
- 24:273 doesn't work because it's not
- 24:29delivered in the way that they want it.
- 24:31And I'll tell you a quick story about
- 24:32that. When I was in the weight loss
- 24:35business, we found that there were some
- 24:36customers who would come in and they
- 24:38didn't want to buy gym memberships. And
- 24:40I was like," Well, that's boring. "But
- 24:42then I thought," Hey, why don't I
- 24:44invite them to a nutrition seminar? "We
- 24:46invite them to a nutrition seminar,
- 24:47even if they say no to our services.
- 24:49They come in for a gym membership, we
- 24:50try to sell it to them, they say no,
- 24:51and I say," Hey, can I just help you
- 24:53with the food? "And they say yes. Then
- 24:55they go to the nutrition seminar and
- 24:57they buy more than the average person
- 24:59who bought gym memberships. We just
- 25:01needed to make them a different offer
- 25:04to solve the same problem. They wanted
- 25:06to continue losing weight, they just
- 25:07didn't feel like sweating. They wanted
- 25:09to take supplements and eat differently
- 25:11. Perfect. So learning how to make
- 25:14multiple offers to a customer is not
- 25:15only beneficial to them, because you're
- 25:17helping them solve their problem in
- 25:19more ways, but it's also beneficial to
- 25:20you, because you get more money up
- 25:22front. So thinking about how to get
- 25:24someone to buy, because there's
- 25:25something people get into called an
- 25:27accelerated buying cycle. So if someone
- 25:29makes any kind of new decision,
- 25:30especially one like," Okay, now I will
- 25:32start gardening, I just bought this new
- 25:34car, or I am going to run a marathon, "
- 25:36there are these little cycles that
- 25:38people enter; there are these specific
- 25:39buying windows. And what a traditional
- 25:41business owner would say, let us assume
- 25:43somebody is going to run a marathon,
- 25:44they sign up for the marathon, and then
- 25:45they go to the running store. Upon
- 25:46arriving at the running store, they
- 25:47must buy shoes. Now, the shop owner
- 25:50says," I do not want to offer them cool
- 25:50socks, an iPod armband, or new tank
- 25:51tops. "When they go to the running
- 25:51store, they have to buy some running
- 25:52shoes. Now the running store owner says
- 25:55," I don't want to offer them fancy
- 25:55socks, or an iPod wristband, or new
- 25:56tank tops. I don't want to. I don't
- 25:57want to seem pushy. "But what are they
- 25:59going to do? They're still going to buy
- 26:01that stuff because they want to have
- 26:02all the stuff. So there's a natural
- 26:05problem-solution cycle that repeats
- 26:07itself over and over again with every
- 26:09purchase a customer makes, as long as
- 26:12the first problem is solved with the
- 26:14first purchase. And that in turn opens
- 26:17up the next problem. Once you have the
- 26:19shoes, what else do you need? You're
- 26:21going to need socks. Once you have the
- 26:22socks, you need shorts. And once you
- 26:24have the shorts, you need a tank top
- 26:26that doesn't rub under your armpits.
- 26:28You're also going to need an iPod
- 26:29holder. All these different things.
- 26:31Plus, you're going to want the bib. You
- 26:33might want a trainer, you might want an
- 26:34app, you might want a hydration
- 26:36accessory. There's also supplements.
- 26:37There's all these different things that
- 26:39come out of that and everyone's afraid
- 26:41to ask. So just make the offer
- 26:43available and if they don't accept it,
- 26:45that's fine. If you're the type of
- 26:46person who gets offended because you
- 26:48buy something and then on the
- 26:49confirmation page it says," Hey, do you
- 26:50want this too? "" Well, the company
- 26:52doesn't really care. I should say that
- 26:54because other people won't mind and
- 26:55they'll be happy that you made it
- 26:57available to them and more conveniently
- 26:59. Ultimately you're providing more
- 27:00value and you're getting rewarded for
- 27:02it. Yeah. And for each of these sales
- 27:04that you want to make, you still have
- 27:05to think about each of the components
- 27:07of the value equation. So you're still
- 27:08thinking about, what's the ideal
- 27:09outcome that they want to achieve? How
- 27:11can I do it without risk to them? How
- 27:12do I make it faster and easier? So,
- 27:14number one, we're charging as much as
- 27:16we can because we're doing it based on
- 27:18value, not cost. The second thing we do
- 27:20is restructure the economics of the
- 27:21business. How do we upsell or downsell
- 27:23so that we can make more money in the
- 27:25first 30 days? So that we can make
- 27:27enough to pay this customer and the
- 27:28next customer and service them both in
- 27:30the same amount of time, so that
- 27:31neither money nor customer acquisition
- 27:33is a constraint. The third way to make
- 27:35money so fast that it seems illegal is
- 27:37to understand the alchemy of wealth.
- 27:40and ignore taxes or play the game
- 27:42nicely. Let me give you an example.
- 27:45Let's say you're giving away free
- 27:46trials of your product. Okay, perfect,
- 27:48that makes sense. We're giving away
- 27:50free trials.
