What I Would Do To Go From $0 To $1M In 2026 — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00If I woke up with zero dollars tomorrow
- 0:01and wanted to become a millionaire,
- 0:02here's what I would do in 2026. So, step
- 0:04one, I determine these three things.
- 0:06Number one, knowledge, what you know,
- 0:07number two, skills, what you know how to
- 0:09do, and number three, environment, which
- 0:10is the things that will influence your
- 0:12behavior, which is who and what you
- 0:13surround yourself with. Step two, decide
- 0:15who to sell. I like to choose one of the
- 0:16three P's, something painful you came
- 0:18out of, something that you're passionate
- 0:20about, or some profession that you just
- 0:22got out of that you can do for yourself.
- 0:23Your target avatar should hit these four
- 0:25boxes. Step three, choose what to sell.
- 0:27Make sure the product or service is what
- 0:29I call unique, expensive, sticky, air.
- 0:31So, unique in that only you can do it,
- 0:33no one else can. Expensive in that you
- 0:35can charge way more than it cost you to
- 0:36deliver it. Sticky in that customers
- 0:38want to keep buying it again and again
- 0:39and again. And air in that it's
- 0:41infinitely scalable. Level two, scale.
- 0:43So, step one, get them to buy. There's
- 0:45four core ways you can get people to
- 0:46find out about the stuff you sell.
- 0:48Choose one of them. And eventually in
- 0:49the future, you could group these four
- 0:50types of people to get leads and
- 0:52customers for you. Step two, get them to
- 0:53give you money. Easiest way to start,
- 0:55help people for free, get them results,
- 0:56get testimonials, and then ask the next
- 0:58people to pay. To close any sale, use
- 1:00the closer framework. After you get
- 1:01paying customers, move to step three,
- 1:03increase how much every customer is
- 1:05worth. These are the eight main ways you
- 1:06can do this. Step four, scale with
- 1:08people. At a certain point, you'll need
- 1:10to hire people outside of yourself who
- 1:11has have experience in things you don't
- 1:13know how to do. Now, there are five main
- 1:14reasons people don't know how to do
- 1:16their job. Solve the how with the three
- 1:18D's. [music] Step five, build on the
- 1:20three pillars of business. Acquisition,
- 1:22so marketing and sales, delivery,
- 1:23fulfillment, customer service, that's
- 1:25all the front-facing stuff, and then you
- 1:26have the third pillar, back office, the
- 1:28operations, finance, legal, payroll, HR,
- 1:30recruiting, that kind of stuff.
- 1:31Level three, keep your advantage. Step
- 1:33one, understand leverage. Leverage is
- 1:34how much you get per unit of work or
- 1:37effort. So, here's some different forms.
- 1:38Step two, don't interrupt compound it.
- 1:41Ignore shiny opportunities, what I call
- 1:43the woman in the red dress, pick one
- 1:44channel, one offer, one avatar, and
- 1:46don't change anything until you get to a
- 1:48million dollars. Ignore everything else.
- 1:49[music] Step three, keep getting better.
- 1:51Do lots, get feedback, compare, find
- 1:54what winners have that losers don't,
- 1:56apply that across content, ads, sales
- 1:58calls, customers, everything. [music]
- 1:59Step four, treat your goals like a
- 2:01relationship. How much do you love your
- 2:02goal? What are you willing to give up in
- 2:04order to keep it? Outlier outcomes often
- 2:06require outlier sacrifice.
