00:00:00.191 --> 00:00:10.720
So if you're broke or you don't know what business to start, by the end of this video, you will know what business to start, who you're going to serve, how you're going to serve them, and the exact message to send to get your first five customers.

2
00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:17.866
I'm a co-owner of school.com where we help tens of thousands of new people every single month start their first business online.

3
00:00:18.246 --> 00:00:22.770
And right now, one out of two people who start a paid community on school make their first dollar.

4
00:00:23.130 --> 00:00:24.111
One out of two.

5
00:00:24.491 --> 00:00:26.592
This process I'm going to show you works.

6
00:00:26.732 --> 00:00:29.354
So there's five parts of this framework and then two bonuses.

7
00:00:29.534 --> 00:00:33.437
One is that's advanced and one that'll give you next steps on what to do with this so you can make your first dollar.

8
00:00:33.997 --> 00:00:38.540
So it starts with the what, which is what is your business actually going to be about?

9
00:00:38.620 --> 00:00:41.082
And so I use something called the three piece framework.

10
00:00:41.282 --> 00:00:41.542
All right.

11
00:00:41.562 --> 00:00:43.403
So you can write this down, the three Ps.

12
00:00:43.843 --> 00:00:45.985
And that's because almost all businesses...

13
00:00:46.585 --> 00:00:48.407
get born of one of these three Ps.

14
00:00:48.807 --> 00:00:50.529
And the first is pain.

15
00:00:51.029 --> 00:00:57.054
So it's something that you went through personally and had to overcome.

16
00:00:57.234 --> 00:01:01.538
So a friend of mine has a wife, well, they're married, and they have nine kids.

17
00:01:02.098 --> 00:01:02.519
And so,

18
00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:06.101
In her going through this process, she was like, well, what would work for me?

19
00:01:06.121 --> 00:01:07.583
And I'm like, well, you have nine kids.

20
00:01:08.103 --> 00:01:13.267
So I'll bet you that you just making lunch for nine kids every day is probably a process.

21
00:01:13.287 --> 00:01:15.509
She's like, oh yeah, I have this whole thing that I do.

22
00:01:15.529 --> 00:01:19.232
So I organize it so everybody has their own bags and they all know who it is.

23
00:01:19.272 --> 00:01:24.957
And then I can do it in a time that's cheap for me and gets them all the food that, you know, all the protein and all the other stuff.

24
00:01:24.997 --> 00:01:26.318
And she's like, I have a system around that.

25
00:01:26.678 --> 00:01:29.681
And I was like, that is the beginning of a business.

26
00:01:30.061 --> 00:01:32.403
The second is your profession.

27
00:01:32.930 --> 00:01:36.153
meaning what you do for a day job or what you've done in the past.

28
00:01:36.314 --> 00:01:45.062
I've recently made a video about a lady who quit her job as a registered dietitian at a hospital and then started teaching other registered dietitians how to bill insurance.

29
00:01:45.583 --> 00:01:50.388
And the reason that she learned how to do that was at the hospital, she had to work six days a week

30
00:01:50.988 --> 00:02:02.152
and worked 12 plus hours per day as an RD, and so she only had one day a week that she could bill her personal clients on the side, and so she had to figure out this really complex billing system and how to do it really quickly.

31
00:02:02.492 --> 00:02:07.553
And so she took something that she learned from her profession and made a business around something really, really narrow.

32
00:02:07.833 --> 00:02:10.274
And so a lot of people think that it's gotta be this big, crazy thing.

33
00:02:10.614 --> 00:02:15.336
If you solve one very specific problem for somebody, that is a business.

34
00:02:15.596 --> 00:02:18.717
And you might think, oh, well, how am I gonna get a huge following from all that?

35
00:02:19.217 --> 00:02:24.828
This particular individual has 5,800 people who follow on Instagram, and she takes home almost a million dollars a year in income.

36
00:02:25.429 --> 00:02:28.575
And so if you're an accountant, or you do HR, or you...

37
00:02:29.369 --> 00:02:31.491
edit videos or you do whatever.

38
00:02:31.631 --> 00:02:37.996
Like every single job that exists in a business means that fundamentally people exchange money for the skill you have.

39
00:02:38.576 --> 00:02:48.024
And so any professional still that you do in a business, you can do as a consultant or as an independent contractor or teaching other people in that profession.

40
00:02:48.044 --> 00:02:53.948
There's lots of tree branches that come off of that, but this is the second big category that businesses are born from.

41
00:02:54.249 --> 00:02:56.931
The third bucket of P's is passion.

42
00:02:57.511 --> 00:03:00.292
These are the things that you're always interested in.

43
00:03:00.332 --> 00:03:01.492
These are the articles you read.

44
00:03:01.512 --> 00:03:02.813
These are the YouTube videos you watch.

45
00:03:02.833 --> 00:03:05.574
These are the podcasts that you listen to in your spare time.

46
00:03:05.614 --> 00:03:09.015
It's the stuff that you're just inherently interested in that you can't get enough of.

47
00:03:09.175 --> 00:03:13.376
And so for me personally, I was somebody who was into fitness.

48
00:03:13.496 --> 00:03:14.357
It was what I was reading.

49
00:03:14.377 --> 00:03:16.517
I was reading T Nation, which none of you guys have even heard of.

50
00:03:16.797 --> 00:03:18.858
But it was this blog online that had all of the...

51
00:03:19.218 --> 00:03:21.879
lifters in there and all these trainers and coaches that were talking about stuff.

52
00:03:21.899 --> 00:03:26.261
And every night I would eat my meal and I would read whatever the new T Nation articles were.

53
00:03:26.281 --> 00:03:27.321
And I did that every single night.

54
00:03:27.601 --> 00:03:28.682
And that's what my passion was.

55
00:03:28.722 --> 00:03:38.465
And when I went to work, the guys that I worked with, they're like, dude, if you don't start a gym, like I will, they, like they offered to front me the money to start the gym because I was so obsessed with fitness at the time.

56
00:03:38.725 --> 00:03:45.308
And so if you're like, okay, well, I overcame food allergies or I am an accountant or I'm into painting model cars.

57
00:03:45.828 --> 00:03:48.249
Got it, but how am I going to turn that into a business?

58
00:03:48.669 --> 00:03:50.369
Don't worry, that's what I'm covering in step five.

59
00:03:50.589 --> 00:03:55.771
So let me break this belief for you really quickly that you need to get the perfect pick on the first try.

60
00:03:56.131 --> 00:04:05.953
The reason this isn't accurate is that it assumes that you with zero context, having not talked to customers and gotten zero feedback are going to pick it right.

61
00:04:06.154 --> 00:04:15.176
The reality of it is that picking anything is the first step because that begins the iteration process of feedback so that you can get it right.

62
00:04:15.456 --> 00:04:21.061
So the five-step process I'm going to walk you through is going to get you to your best bad idea as fast as possible.

63
00:04:21.181 --> 00:04:27.926
And the reason we say best bad idea is that we want to get it out there so that we can make it less wrong over time.

64
00:04:28.306 --> 00:04:32.610
And if you keep making a bad idea less wrong, eventually it becomes a good idea.

65
00:04:32.650 --> 00:04:35.252
And then people say, how did you pick that right on the first shot?

66
00:04:35.312 --> 00:04:38.054
And you will smile and know that that's not actually how it worked.

67
00:04:38.214 --> 00:04:47.238
So great, if you have your first P, you say, I know what pain it is, or what profession, or what passion, now we move on to step two, which is the who.

68
00:04:47.978 --> 00:04:50.379
So who are you gonna do this what for?

69
00:04:50.619 --> 00:04:53.220
There's three categories that the who's are gonna fit into.

70
00:04:53.541 --> 00:04:54.901
The first is people like you.

71
00:04:55.501 --> 00:05:06.126
The second is people that you've helped before, and that can be for money or not for money, but I'm assuming if you're watching this video that you haven't helped them for money, you just did it as a favor, which I'll tell you my story about that in a second.

72
00:05:06.646 --> 00:05:09.129
And the third is people who you think are underserved.

73
00:05:09.410 --> 00:05:16.017
Now, this is probably the more formal way that people look at markets that are growing, that you think there's an emerging trend.

74
00:05:16.237 --> 00:05:18.360
It's people that have this huge demand and are underserved.

75
00:05:18.580 --> 00:05:20.262
This is probably the most formal way of doing it.

76
00:05:20.522 --> 00:05:25.288
But most businesses that come from, I would say, the heart or the mind come from one of these two things.

77
00:05:25.588 --> 00:05:29.071
It's I went through this thing and then I took a long time to figure it out.

78
00:05:29.091 --> 00:05:31.872
And now that I have figured it out, I want to help other people who are like me figure it out.

79
00:05:32.153 --> 00:05:38.357
Sarah Blakely was like, man, none of these underwear like, you know, hide the hide the bad and show the good.

80
00:05:38.677 --> 00:05:45.002
And so then she created Spanx and then Spanx went on to sell for a billion dollars to Blackstone, I think, earlier last year.

81
00:05:45.442 --> 00:05:49.965
And so you can absolutely build a massive business just trying to solve a very complex.

82
00:05:50.305 --> 00:05:51.666
personal problem to yourself.

83
00:05:51.926 --> 00:06:00.011
Differently, Zuck started in his dorm room to make some sort of platform for horny college kids that eventually would become Facebook.

84
00:06:00.251 --> 00:06:07.035
Or for me specifically, the reason I made my first dollar, the first actual dollar that I ever made was there was a lady at the gym

85
00:06:07.495 --> 00:06:10.598
And she said, she came to me and said, hey, can you help me with my food?

86
00:06:10.658 --> 00:06:12.139
And it was just because I looked in shape.

87
00:06:12.579 --> 00:06:13.800
And I was like, sure.

88
00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:15.162
And like, I didn't know her super well.

89
00:06:15.482 --> 00:06:17.744
And so we met at a pizza shop, ironically.

90
00:06:18.264 --> 00:06:20.806
And so she asked me to talk to her about her food.

91
00:06:20.826 --> 00:06:26.111
And so I just asked her what she was buying for her groceries and gave her a couple of recipes that I did to increase her protein intake.

92
00:06:26.411 --> 00:06:34.638
And at the end of me sitting at that pizza parlor with her for like an hour and a half, she just took out her purse and wrote on a check $100 and she handed it to me.

93
00:06:35.038 --> 00:06:40.100
I didn't sell her, I didn't say a price, she just handed me $100 for the amount of help that I'd given her.

94
00:06:40.520 --> 00:06:48.802
And it was really weird because we walked out of the pizza parlor and then she got in her car and I like opened up the check again and I was like, holy shit, I could get paid to do this?

95
00:06:49.182 --> 00:06:50.623
And it was this huge moment for me.

96
00:06:51.003 --> 00:06:53.344
And forever, always grateful, Sandy Smith.

97
00:06:53.644 --> 00:06:58.065
So once you've figured out whether it's someone like you, someone you've helped before, or an underserved market,

98
00:06:58.565 --> 00:07:03.149
you pick one of these three things and then you plug them into this, which is a call out.

99
00:07:03.449 --> 00:07:06.531
And so the call out describes the person back to them.

100
00:07:06.571 --> 00:07:09.453
This can be important for what we use in one of the later parts of this.

101
00:07:09.653 --> 00:07:16.799
That's why if I had to pick one for you, I would have it be this one because you already know what it's like to have the pains of this person.

102
00:07:17.039 --> 00:07:18.740
You're usually in the demographic.

103
00:07:18.760 --> 00:07:20.161
You're in the age group.

104
00:07:20.381 --> 00:07:25.425
And so you probably know a lot of the aspirations and dreams that they do rather than having to do the research.

105
00:07:25.685 --> 00:07:29.615
So this is the quick and dirty way, and many, many, many businesses are started this way.

106
00:07:29.996 --> 00:07:31.179
And in my opinion...

107
00:07:32.317 --> 00:07:34.258
This tends to make mercenaries.

108
00:07:34.899 --> 00:07:36.280
This tends to make missionaries.

109
00:07:36.660 --> 00:07:43.544
And so what I mean by that is people who start purely based on analyzing markets and trends and things like that, they're in it for the money.

110
00:07:43.584 --> 00:07:46.286
They don't really care about the product or even the customer.

111
00:07:46.646 --> 00:07:55.992
But if you're helping people like you overcome something that you overcame before, you know their pain and you will care that much more to deliver an exceptional product and improve their experience over time.

112
00:07:56.232 --> 00:07:58.273
And I think this is what keeps you in it for the long haul.

113
00:07:58.554 --> 00:08:00.755
And when you look at some of the biggest companies out there in the world –

114
00:08:01.075 --> 00:08:06.837
Many of them started with a founder in a garage with some problem that they hated and then tried to fix.

115
00:08:07.197 --> 00:08:12.279
So let me draw this on a new page to give you a really clear idea of why this next part is important.

116
00:08:13.179 --> 00:08:18.401
If you're just like people like me, that's not descriptive enough to get really clear on the avatar.

117
00:08:18.761 --> 00:08:25.004
And so I think about it as having five kind of frames that I think through to narrow down my avatar.

118
00:08:25.404 --> 00:08:28.165
I've got the age, gender, profession,

119
00:08:28.725 --> 00:08:31.507
like before, because if you are going to use profession, then you might as well say it.

120
00:08:31.767 --> 00:08:33.588
Got their problems or their pains.

121
00:08:33.929 --> 00:08:36.210
And then we've got their interests or passions.

122
00:08:36.610 --> 00:08:38.812
And you'll notice these are more or less the three Ps from before.

123
00:08:39.172 --> 00:08:39.432
Okay.

124
00:08:39.712 --> 00:08:43.895
And so what we do is you want to pick three.

125
00:08:44.455 --> 00:08:46.036
And so let me give you an example.

126
00:08:46.297 --> 00:08:51.140
So if I'm looking for a 35 year old men, it's not narrow enough, right?

127
00:08:51.160 --> 00:08:53.481
Or if I just said 35 year olds, not narrow enough.

128
00:08:53.581 --> 00:08:54.202
35 year old men

129
00:08:54.998 --> 00:08:55.899
who were accountants.

130
00:08:56.579 --> 00:08:59.962
Now, I can get even narrower by adding more, but you have to have at least three.

131
00:09:00.702 --> 00:09:02.084
You want to do three or more.

132
00:09:02.344 --> 00:09:06.827
So 35-year-old male accountants who are bored at their jobs.

133
00:09:08.128 --> 00:09:08.348
Right?

134
00:09:08.669 --> 00:09:08.869
Great.

135
00:09:08.949 --> 00:09:10.050
Well, that's a pretty clear avatar.

136
00:09:10.230 --> 00:09:18.816
If I say that, and there's a room full of 35-year-old male accountants who are bored at their jobs, and that was in the other room, that other room should light you up.

137
00:09:19.137 --> 00:09:20.838
So think about it this way from a visual perspective.

138
00:09:21.118 --> 00:09:23.240
If you could fill a room with...

139
00:09:24.072 --> 00:09:27.935
Just a certain type of person that you get excited to go in there and help them.

140
00:09:28.435 --> 00:09:30.397
What is that room of people look like?

141
00:09:30.757 --> 00:09:31.778
What are they interested in?

142
00:09:32.018 --> 00:09:33.439
What are the problems they're suffering from?

143
00:09:33.719 --> 00:09:34.880
What's their job?

144
00:09:35.100 --> 00:09:38.803
Now, you could do the same thing and not have the profession, but I'll give you an example.

145
00:09:38.823 --> 00:09:46.969
So if I said 35-year-old or 45-year-old women who are struggling to move up in the workplace, okay, that's at least three.

146
00:09:46.989 --> 00:09:47.129
Okay.

147
00:09:47.921 --> 00:09:48.421
Get the idea?

148
00:09:48.641 --> 00:09:52.603
So you just want to get narrow enough that they know you're talking to them.

149
00:09:52.924 --> 00:09:54.344
Let me break a second belief for you.

150
00:09:54.585 --> 00:09:59.167
That if you get really narrow, it means you're not going to be able to make as much money because you don't have as many people to sell to.

151
00:09:59.835 --> 00:10:02.896
The other part of that is the more specific you get, the more you can charge.

152
00:10:03.316 --> 00:10:06.177
So let me tell you something that might blow your mind.

153
00:10:06.657 --> 00:10:11.439
So if I sold time management as my thing, that's really, really broad.

154
00:10:11.619 --> 00:10:12.559
All right, that's my what?

155
00:10:12.820 --> 00:10:18.221
Okay, well, I might be able to charge for my time management PDF, I don't know, 19 bucks.

156
00:10:18.902 --> 00:10:19.222
Okay?

157
00:10:19.742 --> 00:10:27.265
Now, if I said I've got a time management product for salespeople, then all of a sudden, this is probably $199 product.

158
00:10:29.605 --> 00:10:39.431
If I said I have time management for outbound salespeople, then that's going to be even more specific, and this might be a $19.99 product.

159
00:10:40.091 --> 00:10:48.656
And if I said I have the entire outbound time management system for garden and power tools, then this could be a $10,000 thing.

160
00:10:50.265 --> 00:11:00.028
Because anybody who's this specific with their niche knows that they're going to be able to make a couple sales with this new system and more than pay for it.

161
00:11:00.408 --> 00:11:04.970
And so as you get more specific with your prospect, you can get more premium with your price.

162
00:11:05.550 --> 00:11:13.312
And if you're the best at time management for outbound sales rep that do garden and power tools, how many competitors are you going against?

163
00:11:13.833 --> 00:11:14.653
Almost no one.

164
00:11:15.353 --> 00:11:23.525
And so you're selling in a total blue ocean where it's just you with the life raft and all of them are in there in the pool around you struggling.

165
00:11:23.705 --> 00:11:30.695
And then when you have your life raft and you're the only boat in town, they've got to pay whatever you want in order to scoop them out of the water.

166
00:11:30.975 --> 00:11:34.258
If you're enjoying this process, I run something called the School Games.

167
00:11:34.278 --> 00:11:35.840
You can go to school.com forward slash games.

168
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:36.921
You can start for free.

169
00:11:36.961 --> 00:11:44.007
I'll help you build your first business by taking you through frameworks like this and many others and give you the platform to do it to make your first dollar.

170
00:11:44.287 --> 00:11:50.473
Right now, more than one out of two people who start the School Games with a paid community make their first dollar online.

171
00:11:50.990 --> 00:11:51.671
Very proud of it.

172
00:11:51.991 --> 00:11:53.112
So if you like that, go check it out.

173
00:11:53.132 --> 00:11:53.712
You can start for free.

174
00:11:53.972 --> 00:11:55.734
So that's step two, that's the who.

175
00:11:55.994 --> 00:11:57.295
Now we go to the how.

176
00:11:57.595 --> 00:12:01.178
And there's two parts to the how, so let's cover those now.

177
00:12:01.618 --> 00:12:04.140
So with how part one, we think about the upside.

178
00:12:04.460 --> 00:12:09.384
This is all the good stuff that you're going to help them achieve or experience

179
00:12:10.044 --> 00:12:11.905
as a result of using your thing.

180
00:12:12.305 --> 00:12:17.867
Alright, so you want to think about how much easier their lives are going to be as a result of using your thing.

181
00:12:18.187 --> 00:12:22.469
You want to think about how guaranteed the outcome is now as a result of using your thing.

182
00:12:22.889 --> 00:12:24.310
You want to think about how much faster

183
00:12:25.267 --> 00:12:28.411
they're going to be able to get what they want using your thing.

184
00:12:28.751 --> 00:12:34.278
And you want to be able to describe to them how it would feel to experience their dream scenario.

185
00:12:34.738 --> 00:12:38.783
And so if these look familiar, these are the four elements of the value equation, but written in the positive.

186
00:12:39.184 --> 00:12:43.489
And so the perfect offer is something that is incredibly easy,

187
00:12:44.217 --> 00:12:47.940
guaranteed to happen, immediate, and is exactly what they want.

188
00:12:48.680 --> 00:12:52.203
And the sub part of this is exactly the way they want to get it.

189
00:12:52.363 --> 00:12:54.664
I'll give you a B2B example from Gym Launch.

190
00:12:54.905 --> 00:13:00.288
So the average gym makes $30,000 in their first 30 days using the Gym Launch system.

191
00:13:00.649 --> 00:13:03.831
Now, the average gym owner makes $36,000 a year in take-home income.

192
00:13:05.532 --> 00:13:15.980
So if they make $36,000 a year as take-home income, then we can help them get what they want easier, guaranteed, faster, and exactly what they wanted to do, which was to fill their gym up and make money.

193
00:13:16.300 --> 00:13:19.302
Whatever benefits you sell, there's some good stuff.

194
00:13:19.563 --> 00:13:27.809
And so we want to say, hey, here's all this good stuff you want, and here's how I make it easier, faster, guaranteed, and this is what it looks like when it's right.

195
00:13:28.229 --> 00:13:31.291
That's what we explain with the how part one.

196
00:13:31.572 --> 00:13:33.233
So now that we've listed out all the good stuff,

197
00:13:34.242 --> 00:13:38.267
Let's flip over to how part two, which is going to be the bad stuff.

198
00:13:38.748 --> 00:13:45.236
And if you think about motivating an individual in general, you fundamentally only have two things that are going to increase the likelihood that they do what you want.

199
00:13:45.536 --> 00:13:50.883
You either have to take away the bad stuff that they don't want or give them more good stuff that they want.

200
00:13:51.463 --> 00:13:52.083
That's it.

201
00:13:52.604 --> 00:13:53.604
That's all you can do.

202
00:13:54.004 --> 00:13:58.227
And so thinking about it from this framework has helped me so much in copywriting, in sales.

203
00:13:58.307 --> 00:14:01.729
It's like you're either saying you're going to get this thing or you're going to avoid this thing you hate.

204
00:14:02.309 --> 00:14:02.749
That's it.

205
00:14:03.289 --> 00:14:12.635
And it's just how well you can describe either of these things which makes it more and more compelling, which is why picking someone like you makes it easier to describe the very intricacies of their pain.

206
00:14:12.655 --> 00:14:16.357
So for example, if I said lose weight fast, that might have worked in the 1900s.

207
00:14:17.337 --> 00:14:21.681
But people quickly learn that they can't believe things that people say.

208
00:14:21.961 --> 00:14:27.506
And so the more specific you are about the pain and the benefit, the more likely they are to believe you.

209
00:14:27.787 --> 00:14:33.632
If I say, hey, stop feeling your thighs chafing when you're out in the sun, that's a very specific pain.

210
00:14:34.829 --> 00:14:36.871
And so someone would be like, oh, I experienced that.

211
00:14:37.131 --> 00:14:44.296
But it would pass their guardrails and their banner blindness around ads and copy and marketing because it's very specific to their pain.

212
00:14:44.736 --> 00:14:49.179
You want them to be like, I can't believe they know this about me because you know it about you and you just describe it back to them.

213
00:14:49.540 --> 00:14:51.001
So now we're going to talk about the bad stuff.

214
00:14:52.322 --> 00:14:55.404
So these are the inverse of the things that I was mentioning earlier.

215
00:14:55.824 --> 00:15:00.968
So instead of the guarantee, we're going to talk about the risks.

216
00:15:01.928 --> 00:15:03.089
that we're going to help them avoid.

217
00:15:03.550 --> 00:15:10.538
Instead of how fast it is, we're going to talk about how slow it is for them that they're not going to have to experience that slowness.

218
00:15:11.499 --> 00:15:21.661
instead of it being easy, we're gonna talk about all the pain and sacrifice and suffering that they have to go through in order to experience the benefit.

219
00:15:21.961 --> 00:15:38.084
So the nice thing with this one particularly, because there's gonna be the most meat here in terms of what you're describing, because the guarantee you just say, this is where you state stats and you show what you've done, what you plan to do, the fast and easy you put a timeline around it and what they can expect versus the timeline of what's bad.

220
00:15:38.384 --> 00:15:40.704
And with the ease, there's two sides to this.

221
00:15:41.224 --> 00:15:48.926
So one is what are all the good things they normally have to give up that they no longer have to give up with your system?

222
00:15:49.506 --> 00:15:59.908
And what are all the bad things that they would normally have to start doing with other products or other services to solve this problem that with your product they don't have to start doing?

223
00:16:00.108 --> 00:16:01.108
So let me give you an example.

224
00:16:01.428 --> 00:16:02.469
So weight loss is simple.

225
00:16:02.889 --> 00:16:04.009
So if I...

226
00:16:04.709 --> 00:16:11.321
have to start working out and waking up early, then that's something bad I don't want to start doing.

227
00:16:11.582 --> 00:16:16.892
And so if you use my system, you don't have to start doing this bad thing you don't want to do to get the result.

228
00:16:17.568 --> 00:16:23.291
If I want to avoid the negative thing that you don't want to give up, which is, hey, you like doing Taco Tuesdays and eating out with your friends.

229
00:16:23.571 --> 00:16:24.912
Normally, you'd have to give that up.

230
00:16:25.252 --> 00:16:30.374
But with my system, you can keep that thing you like without sacrificing it and still get the result.

231
00:16:30.655 --> 00:16:33.236
And so you show both of these that make it easier.

232
00:16:33.476 --> 00:16:34.837
Because what makes things hard?

233
00:16:35.217 --> 00:16:38.478
What makes things hard is doing things we don't like and giving up things we'd like.

234
00:16:38.939 --> 00:16:45.682
And so if we have our solution that they can not have to do things they hate and keep doing things they love, then they will like that better.

235
00:16:46.122 --> 00:16:51.509
You might be thinking, okay, well, I get the good stuff and the bad stuff for how part one and how part two, but how do I get all this stuff?

236
00:16:51.749 --> 00:16:54.473
Well, first off, if it's you, then you know what these pains are.

237
00:16:54.913 --> 00:16:58.398
If it's not you, then you do the three-letter method.

238
00:16:58.738 --> 00:16:59.239
You ready for it?

239
00:17:00.297 --> 00:17:02.958
ask people who you want to sell.

240
00:17:03.358 --> 00:17:06.719
So you get on the phone, you reach out to people, and you basically do an interview.

241
00:17:06.999 --> 00:17:11.540
Now, a good interview basically functions like a sales call, which is like, what are the problems you're struggling with right now?

242
00:17:11.780 --> 00:17:12.900
How long have you struggled with them?

243
00:17:13.100 --> 00:17:14.740
What makes it painful specifically?

244
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:17.521
Can you describe what the experience is like when it's not right?

245
00:17:17.801 --> 00:17:20.602
Could you describe your ideal experience if it were done the right way?

246
00:17:20.882 --> 00:17:25.843
What are some of the things you have to stop doing that you like doing that you don't want to stop doing when you've done things in the past?

247
00:17:26.103 --> 00:17:29.864
What are the things that you have to start doing that you hate doing that you've had to start doing in the past?

248
00:17:30.745 --> 00:17:34.149
In either of those scenarios, in all of those scenarios, you're learning more about the customer.

249
00:17:34.169 --> 00:17:37.333
You're learning about their dreams and aspirations, but the pains that they've experienced along the way.

250
00:17:37.574 --> 00:17:41.919
And the culmination of all of those answers become how part one and how part two.

251
00:17:42.259 --> 00:17:44.943
The good stuff you're going to help them get and the bad stuff you're going to help them avoid.

252
00:17:45.163 --> 00:17:47.366
And if you're still wondering, how am I going to make money from all this stuff?

253
00:17:47.446 --> 00:17:47.887
Don't worry.

254
00:17:48.087 --> 00:17:48.868
We're going to get there right now.

255
00:17:49.308 --> 00:17:51.130
Step five, putting it all together.

256
00:17:51.491 --> 00:17:52.612
Combine.

257
00:17:52.973 --> 00:18:01.562
So this is the Mr. Miyagi moment in Karate Kid, where you've been waxing on and waxing off this entire time, so you can get to the moment where you can finally get your car.

258
00:18:01.783 --> 00:18:03.264
So we're going to do a Mosey Money Mad Lib.

259
00:18:03.284 --> 00:18:04.466
We're going to drop everything in.

260
00:18:04.626 --> 00:18:05.587
So I help...

261
00:18:06.388 --> 00:18:13.310
Who, which we got from step two, which is the combination of what the big thing's about and then narrowing it down through step one and step two.

262
00:18:13.590 --> 00:18:26.595
I help who, 35-year-old male accountants, get a new income stream, whatever the good thing that they want is, right, which is how part one, without how part two, the bad stuff.

263
00:18:27.550 --> 00:18:54.047
through, and this is going to be the bonus that I'm going to cover in a second, all right, which is something called a unique mechanism, all right, so I'll cover that in a moment, but fundamentally, you could ignore this last part, and this is the basic version of it, and this is the more advanced one once you get some reps, and the reason I'm going to explain that one in a second is because if you haven't done it yet, you don't have a unique process, and so if you're just starting out, this is me meeting you where you're at, I help who get good stuff without bad stuff,

264
00:18:54.547 --> 00:19:03.014
I help 45-year-old women who just had kids get into high school get back into their high school genes without giving up time with their family.

265
00:19:03.935 --> 00:19:11.061
I help nonfiction business authors get on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list without looking cringe.

266
00:19:11.481 --> 00:19:14.764
And listen, it doesn't have to be like you don't have to perfectly do this every time.

267
00:19:14.804 --> 00:19:20.369
I could just say I help young guys starting school for the first time pick their community under 30 minutes.

268
00:19:20.809 --> 00:19:25.051
Like, it's just, if you can nail them, then the person's like, shoot, that's me, right?

269
00:19:25.091 --> 00:19:28.233
The more you add these pieces in, they're like, that's exactly what I'm struggling with.

270
00:19:28.453 --> 00:19:29.674
This is exactly what I want.

271
00:19:30.054 --> 00:19:33.076
And then the unique mechanism makes it nice and sexy.

272
00:19:33.336 --> 00:19:35.717
So now that we hit the bonus, let's go to the bonus section.

273
00:19:36.078 --> 00:19:40.220
So the bonus number one is going to be something called the unique mechanism.

274
00:19:40.460 --> 00:19:47.602
All right, now the reason I wanted to combine it before the unique mechanism is that if you are starting out, you might not have a unique process yet, all right?

275
00:19:47.982 --> 00:19:53.004
But the unique mechanism is something that differentiates your solution from other people's.

276
00:19:53.264 --> 00:19:56.765
So if there's two people in your market, or 10 or 100 people in your market,

277
00:19:57.365 --> 00:20:00.746
One, you could probably go narrower on your who and the problem you're trying to help them solve.

278
00:20:01.066 --> 00:20:17.610
But let's assume that you did that and there's still 10 people that all help 35-year-old male accountants watch Friends reruns because that's your passion without feeling the judgment of other people because you have a cool streaming platform or you know access between all these other ones that allow them to do it for free.

279
00:20:17.790 --> 00:20:18.090
Whatever.

280
00:20:18.350 --> 00:20:18.590
Okay?

281
00:20:18.930 --> 00:20:21.931
So let's say that that's your niche and there's 10 other people who are serving them.

282
00:20:22.271 --> 00:20:24.671
What you want to have is some unique mechanism.

283
00:20:25.032 --> 00:20:26.832
And this is not a new marketing concept.

284
00:20:27.352 --> 00:20:37.800
You want to have some sexiness or some special sauce that makes the prospect think, oh, I'm going to push all of my hopes and dreams into this process.

285
00:20:38.020 --> 00:20:44.605
Like if I had only had this special sexy thing, I was six inches away from gold, and then I just needed this thing to get me over the hump.

286
00:20:44.945 --> 00:20:46.606
And the point is that that's what they should feel like.

287
00:20:46.726 --> 00:20:50.209
Oh, if I just had had this thing all along, I would have already been successful.

288
00:20:50.429 --> 00:20:55.712
So it's like you have this secret that you can help them be successful with, and the proof is in the pudding.

289
00:20:55.972 --> 00:21:06.379
And so even if you think about this YouTube video as a product, if you wanted to, the unique mechanism is the five-step process, or the five-step niche narrowing, the niche narrowing nunchuck, right?

290
00:21:06.399 --> 00:21:08.160
Because it's a fucking wax it on the head.

291
00:21:08.380 --> 00:21:09.441
So let me explain how this works.

292
00:21:09.922 --> 00:21:11.543
Is that you're going to either have a list

293
00:21:12.398 --> 00:21:15.900
or steps that someone has to follow to achieve a result.

294
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:16.901
Fundamentally, that's what it is.

295
00:21:16.921 --> 00:21:20.102
You're either going to say you have to do all these things, so just think of a checklist.

296
00:21:20.162 --> 00:21:26.826
Once you have done all four of these things, you'll achieve the outcome, or you have to follow this in sequence.

297
00:21:26.846 --> 00:21:29.948
You have to do one, and then you have to do two, and you have to do three, and then four.

298
00:21:29.988 --> 00:21:31.769
The difference here is that these don't have to be in order.

299
00:21:31.789 --> 00:21:32.649
You just have to do them all.

300
00:21:32.989 --> 00:21:34.710
Here, you have to do them in a specific sequence.

301
00:21:35.051 --> 00:21:37.752
But either way, you're going to have a list or a step that's going to be in order.

302
00:21:37.912 --> 00:21:46.459
or series of steps that someone's going to follow, and then all you do is that you wrap this whole thing, and then you name it.

303
00:21:47.661 --> 00:21:50.563
because this becomes your proprietary process.

304
00:21:51.103 --> 00:21:53.885
And that proprietary process becomes your unique mechanism.

305
00:21:54.185 --> 00:21:58.567
If you've heard me talk about content, we have promise, proof, plan.

306
00:21:59.047 --> 00:22:02.229
And so it's, hey, I'm gonna help you pick your niche by the end of this video.

307
00:22:02.730 --> 00:22:06.292
Proof is that I've helped tens of thousands of people do this on school, so we're pretty good at it.

308
00:22:06.712 --> 00:22:08.593
And then the plan is we're gonna follow these five steps.

309
00:22:08.973 --> 00:22:09.854
Ta-da, and here we are.

310
00:22:10.214 --> 00:22:14.076
And so that process, we can call the Mosey Money Niche Method.

311
00:22:14.396 --> 00:22:14.736
whatever.

312
00:22:15.016 --> 00:22:20.218
So if you've heard of P90X, the unique mechanism they had was muscle confusion, right?

313
00:22:20.258 --> 00:22:23.879
And obviously a zillion fitness influencers are like, there's no such thing as muscle confusion.

314
00:22:23.999 --> 00:22:24.599
And they're right.

315
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:26.740
But the thing is, is it was a unique mechanism.

316
00:22:26.760 --> 00:22:31.481
They sold hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars of fitness programs using it.

317
00:22:31.561 --> 00:22:33.722
If you look at Weight Watchers, they have a point system.

318
00:22:33.742 --> 00:22:35.363
The point system is their unique mechanism.

319
00:22:35.683 --> 00:22:36.263
If you look at

320
00:22:36.623 --> 00:22:39.525
Some of these other ones, they have their XYZ portion control thing.

321
00:22:39.565 --> 00:22:42.746
Like they all have a unique mechanism, their way of doing it.

322
00:22:43.026 --> 00:22:44.407
Think of this as the vehicle.

323
00:22:44.687 --> 00:22:47.468
This is going to take them from where they are to where they want to go.

324
00:22:47.549 --> 00:22:51.571
And you're the one who's piloting this ship with them in the backseat.

325
00:22:51.591 --> 00:22:55.012
Or they're piloting it with you in the backseat with you as the guide.

326
00:22:55.312 --> 00:22:57.594
The point is that that becomes the special sauce.

327
00:22:57.894 --> 00:22:59.234
And everybody should do this.

328
00:22:59.575 --> 00:23:01.275
And that's where you can have the naming conventions.

329
00:23:01.596 --> 00:23:04.397
I cover naming stuff in my last chapter here on the Offers book.

330
00:23:04.697 --> 00:23:09.181
where I either like something that rhymes, or I like alliteration, if I can do it.

331
00:23:09.521 --> 00:23:15.286
So as promised, if you're following this process, then you got the what, which helped you narrow down the who.

332
00:23:15.546 --> 00:23:22.633
You followed the steps in that to niche down to figure out very specifically who the avatar was, someone like you, someone you've helped before, or someone who's underserved.

333
00:23:22.913 --> 00:23:23.754
We did the good stuff.

334
00:23:23.774 --> 00:23:24.714
We looked at the bad stuff.

335
00:23:24.915 --> 00:23:26.536
We put it all together into one sentence,

336
00:23:26.716 --> 00:23:27.756
so you can immediately use it.

337
00:23:28.036 --> 00:23:33.218
If you're a little more advanced, then you figure out a unique mechanism or your system or your process or your method to put it all together.

338
00:23:33.398 --> 00:23:35.159
So they're like, wow, this is exactly what I need.

339
00:23:35.419 --> 00:23:36.519
So what's this last bonus?

340
00:23:36.879 --> 00:23:39.080
Well, I said I'd help you get your first five customers.

341
00:23:39.380 --> 00:23:39.920
So let's do that.

342
00:23:39.940 --> 00:23:46.002
All right, so I'm going to give you the absolute simplest system for getting your first five customers using what we just had.

343
00:23:46.463 --> 00:23:48.943
And so what you do is you will greet someone.

344
00:23:49.264 --> 00:23:50.164
Greetings, hello.

345
00:23:50.624 --> 00:23:53.045
You will mention something specific about them that's a compliment.

346
00:23:53.305 --> 00:23:56.386
You will insert that sentence that we just went up with, came up with.

347
00:23:56.786 --> 00:24:00.591
And then you'll ask them if they know anybody who could benefit from that.

348
00:24:01.072 --> 00:24:08.742
And you will do this for four hours per day or until you reach 100.

349
00:24:09.803 --> 00:24:10.444
I don't care which.

350
00:24:11.005 --> 00:24:12.767
You can do four hours a day or until you reach 100.

351
00:24:13.087 --> 00:24:14.209
And if you do this every day...

352
00:24:15.073 --> 00:24:19.857
and you make this process what you reach out to people, you will get five customers.

353
00:24:20.397 --> 00:24:25.981
I outlined this entire process inside of the leads book in the first chapter called Warm Outreach to help you get your first five customers.

354
00:24:26.601 --> 00:24:31.645
And if you'd like me to help you lead along and you wanna do it via community, you can go to school.com forward slash games.

355
00:24:32.105 --> 00:24:35.788
I walk people, I literally walk thousands of people through this every single month.

356
00:24:35.808 --> 00:24:36.649
So we're pretty good at it.

357
00:24:36.929 --> 00:24:39.551
Like I said, more than one out of two people make their first dollar online.

358
00:24:39.871 --> 00:24:40.712
So check it out.
