Click Above To Listen, Or Listen In iTunes:   Screw this ONE THING up, and you'll cripple any chance of living like a rockstar in every way...   Oh man. It's funny because when I listen to other people's podcasts, sometimes they're really boring. I'd rather throw in a little weird foils here and there and actually be entertained myself. Anyways. I've had quite a few people reach out to me lately. Honestly on average, about one person a day. One new person per day, sometimes two, reaches out to me and they say, "Hey. I've got this sales funnel," or "Hey. I've got this business idea," or "Hey. I've got something I want to put into the marketplace and try and get money for it." One of the first questions I always ask is, what's your plan? What's your, we call it a value ladder, leading from one product to the next. You just increase value and increase price as you go. What's your offer structure? I was telling them, remember that the offer is not the same thing as the product. What's the offer? You don't sell a pile of rocks. You sell a rock bed next to a sidewalk with bushes in it, next to a rock wall where people are going to admire you as they walk by. You sell the experience. It's all about an offer. I've had quite a few people recently who've been approaching, and I've noticed this trend that I don't know if they're trying to impress me. I don't know if they're trying, it's possible I guess. They'll say, "Hey. I'm going to go make an e-book, and I'm going to do this and write an actual book, a physical book. I'm going to get it in the stores. I'm going to do this, this, this, this, this, this, this." It's like they start beating their chest a little bit. "I'm the man." They go, and I don't know what it is. I can understand that I guess. I wake up and I'm excited. It's not even seven o'clock yet, and I am recording a podcast. Yeah, I call it world domination. I want to take over the world also. The trend that I've been seeing is that a lot of people will compare themselves to an ideal. I've been listening to Dan Sullivan. If you ever listen to his book or his presentation, "Pure Genius," it's very good. In there he said something, and I was like, oh my gosh, that's so true. He said, "Part of the part of the problem is that we'll get to this spot in our lives, and we've been planning forever to get there. Say like, well I don't know, we're just going to say a trip. Let's say you're planning on going on a trip. It's a big one. Let's say you're going to go overseas somewhere. You're planning the trip. You're thinking about it and the months are coming. The months are leading up to it. You're planning out the, I don't know, the meals, places you want to go, people you want to see, the different events you want to attend. You're starting to imagine as you get on the plane what it'll look like. If you're going to Hawaii, what it'll smell like, what's the experience going to be like. Then you get there, and you're like, "Oh this is awesome." While you're in the middle of experience, you start planning your next trip. You start saying things like, "Oh man. What would it be like instead of going to Hawaii, what if we went to Spain?" You start planning in the middle of your trip, Spain. You start going, "Oh, what's it going to be like? What is it going to smell like? Who am I going to talk to? What events am I going to attend?" You get home, and you immediately get on plan and go to Spain. When you get to Spain, it's like, "Oh this is awesome," for the first day. Then you turn around, and you're like, "Oh. Let's go visit Germany." In the middle of Spain, you actually get on a plane and just fly to Germany. That's what it's like when I'm talking to a lot of people about their business. Like, "I'm going for this, and going for this, and going for this." Like wow, that's really cool, but you're not actually focusing on anything. You're not actually going to win at this. You understand. To a degree, especially at the beginning when you'r

My first 5 years in entrepreneurship was 34 painful product failures in a row (you heard me). Finally, on #35 it clicked, and for the next 4 years, 55 NEW offers made over $11m. I’ve learned enough to see a few flaws in my baby business… So, as entrepreneurs do, I built it up, just to burn it ALL down; deleting 50 products, and starting fresh. We’re a group of capitalist pig-loving entrepreneurs who are actively trying to get rich and give back.
