9
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:46.320
our like VAI is affiliate presentation thing at three thirty right, yeah,

10
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.759
and it's on this same zoon. There's sixty four people

11
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:55.200
registered as of now. I think I'm not sure how

12
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:56.880
many will show up. I'm hoping it's at least in

13
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.320
the twenties or thirties. Are you planning on that in

14
00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:03.320
half hour hour? How long?

15
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.519
I mean we could do thirty minutes?

16
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:08.599
Okay, I mean whatever you think. I'm gonna kind of

17
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.920
just follow your lead. I figure I can kind of

18
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:13.799
enter you and then kind of let you just take

19
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.879
it from there. It should be from the crowd. This

20
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.799
one is a lot of people I know, like a

21
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.640
lot of people on network with who are like struggling

22
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.719
on LinkedIn. I think it's a good as opposed to

23
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.079
sort of cold leads as it were. I got a

24
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:30.879
lot of them too. I just focused more on my

25
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.159
own centers in people.

26
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.840
Are people joining this zoom right now? Or are you

27
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:36.599
talking to something else?

28
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.560
No? No, no, no, this will be a three thirty. We'll

29
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.120

00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:45.680
three twenty five, I'll open the zoom back up and

32
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:51.120
then we'll start to populate for that. Okay, so three today,

33
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:53.879
Well it's a three thirty today.

34
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.040

Yeah, I'm ready for that.

38
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.359
Okay, yes, yeah. So, like I say, as of an

39
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:11.000
hour ago, there was about sixty two sixty four people

40
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:17.280
signed up, and uh probably two thirds of our people

41
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.759
I know who I reached out personally, okay, and I said, hey,

42
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.280
if you're struggling for leads, you're struggling for connections, I

43
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.319
got I got a great solution for you. So, uh,

44
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:32.120
you know, I've been using this for four months in

45
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:33.919
a lot of traction. We had a really good template

46
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:34.719
party today.

47
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.560
Oh wow, I'm going to get starting to starting.

48
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.159
To get kind of a nice blend of regulars and

49
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:44.400
new people. There was fourteen people today, we're new ones.

50
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:50.639
It's some nice discussions. So okay, I may truncate the

51
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.319
intro a little tiny bit. What do you want to

52
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:54.960
just give me what you want to talk? This is

53
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.639
how i'd like to do this. I just really I

54
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.120
want to kind of showcase really what you're bringing to

55
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.960
the table and specifically how it can help entrepreneurs, which

56
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.639
is basically you could probably talk about in your sleep anyway. Yeah,

57
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.120
that's the that's the audience of my podcast or entrepreneurs

58
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.560
trying to find a better, better bounce trap. Okay, And

59
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.080
the only other half of it, which you're more to

60
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.719
welcome to get into, is i'd like I usually ask

61
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.840
people a question like, you know, what's your definition of

62
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.479
success or you know, when when do you consider yourself

63
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:32.039
successful or when do you feel you'll be successful? But

64
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:33.960
you know, you can kind of bring that in as

65
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:34.520
you choose to.

66
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.159
Yeah, okay, yeah, of course, I mean, yeah, this is

67
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.400
gonna be a great episode.

68
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:45.319
Yeah, I mean it's not. Yeah to me, it's a

69
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.840
connection thing. I mean to me, that's really the currency here. Anyhow,

70
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.919
all right, let me start the recording and we'll get rolling.

71
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.080

107
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.720
about that show. So Joe welcome. This is a very

108
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:06.480
busy guy. I am lucky to have him here to

109
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.000
spend some time with me. I appreciate it. I want

110
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.720
to get right into it. Okay, So what tell us

111
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.959
a little bit about your journey? You know, I know

112
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:17.240
your story a little bit. If you share what you

113
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.920
want but how did you become how did you go

114
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.279
from wherever you were Joe from Brooklyn, right or Joe

115
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:30.240
from wherever to know a really a nationally internationally status

116
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.000
level LinkedIn trainer and an AI developer.

117
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.519
So they say you can only grow your business as

118
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:37.600
much as you grow yourself.

119
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:38.600
I've ever heard that before.

120
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.759
You can only grow your business as much as you

121
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:43.319
grow yourself.

122
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:44.279
And when I.

123
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.399
Started off about let's call it twenty five years ago

124
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:52.879
or so, I really didn't have a lot of skills.

125
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.759
But more importantly is I didn't really know who I was.

126
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.920
I was really stuck in my identity as kind of

127
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.680
like I'm trying to make it. I want to build

128
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.040
a family, I want to make money. I want to

129
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.519
make a difference. I always thought it was all about

130
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.920
the skills. What skills do I need to learn in

131
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:15.399
order for me to be able to make more money?

132
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.319
And the more you have skills, the more money you

133
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:22.439
could make. And it's important to have skills. But I

134
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.519
really think now, looking back at the past twenty five years,

135
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.600
I think it has to do more with the beliefs

136
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.279
that you have rather than the skills that you have,

137
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.720
Like on a core level, and I wrote about this

138
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.199
in a book that I never published.

139
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.600
I actually wrote several books that I didn't even publish.

140
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.040
One of them is called from Average Joe to CEO,

141
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.199
The Seven Stages to Seven Figures, And I've spoken about

142
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.199
this book that I've never published it yet because although

143
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.920
I was able to successfully make multiple seven figures on

144
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:56.160
the top line, getting seven figures on the bottom line

145
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:58.759
is a whole nother story. It's a whole nother bowl game,

146
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:02.360
And it really takes a lot of being evolved as

147
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:06.120
a CEO, being evolved as a thought leader, as an entrepreneur,

148
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:10.279
as a community servant leader, like making a difference for people.

149
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:12.879
You can get anything you want in life enough if

150
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.480
you help enough people get what they want.

151
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.639
That's a famous saying by zig Ziglar. He said it

152
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:18.319
many times.

153
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.079
So I always tell people is like, Okay, yes, skills

154
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.279
are important. You've got to up level your skills, but

155
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.319
if your beliefs are not there, no matter what your

156
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.160
skills are going to be, you can have. You can

157
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.240
be the best lawyer in the world and know to

158
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.159
litigate really well. But if you believe that you're a

159
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.679
horse in a hospital, then you're going to be a

160
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:38.639
horse in a hospital.

161
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:39.559
That's what's going to happen.

162
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.559
That's that's that's literally you're not going to be able

163
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:44.919
to get the clients that you need to get if

164
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:48.720
you don't have the beliefs. And part of having beliefs

165
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.639
is me going back down to like, okay, so what

166
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.960
is your strategy, like, what what does your.

167
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.440
Foundation look like? For me?

168
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.440
I didn't really understand strategy. I saw my mother fail,

169
00:08:57.879 --> 00:08:59.879
you know, growing up as a teenager in the Lower Rece.

170
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.519
I'd you know, I grew up in Brooklyn, but my

171
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:04.440
mother had a store on the Lower Assignment, had in

172
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.799
an Orchard Street. I don't know if you know, the

173
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:10.080
Lower Assignment had an Orchard Street, Delancey very popular place

174
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:13.120
for immigrants to have a store. You know, some people

175
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.759
had wagons. My mother actually rented a store. She took

176
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.919
all her credit cards, maxed out, bought clothing, sold them,

177
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.720
paid back her credit cards, maxed out, more credit cards,

178
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.679
bought more clothing, sold that, tried to figure out how

179
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.120
to make it happen. She generated revenue, but she never

180
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:32.320
generated enough money for her to be financially free, and

181
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.240
she never really had a strategy. Her whole idea was like,

182
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.320
let me go there, let me sell stuff, and let's

183
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.960
hope for the best. Hope is a good thing. It's

184
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.879
a great thing to have hope, but it's not a strategy.

185
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.960
And so having the right strategy is key. And that

186
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:48.600
kind of was like a little bit of my like

187
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.440
wound that I have as a as a teenager watching

188
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.120
my mother trying to make it and then her eventually

189
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.279
going out of business after a decade of trying to

190
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.679
make it, And so that kind of like stayed with

191
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:00.519
me as like the thing of like, oh my god,

192
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:02.600
I got to make it, and once I make it,

193
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:04.720
I got to teach people how to make it as well.

194
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.240
And that's kind of like stuck with me, and it

195
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.120
became like almost like my life mission.

196
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:10.679
It was like, Okay, I figured it out.

197
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:14.279
I got to seven figures, I got my business to

198
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:16.639
do millions of dollars in revenue. We were featured number

199
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.320
one seventy eight on the Ink five hundred, one of

200
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.600
the fastest growing companies in America. I remember not having

201
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:24.440
a network of any CEOs at all. Like my network

202
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.399
was like the Jewish community. I grew up in the

203
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.679
Jewish community, and that was my network. You know, my

204
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.759
neighbors the people that to shol A lot of them

205
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:33.879
were blue collar people. You know, they weren't they didn't

206
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:38.120
have they weren't like necessarily successful. Some of them worked

207
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.360
at supermarkets, you know, like some of them just kind

208
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.559
of sold a lula an e's rig or a soka

209
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.399
or they were they worked at the bakery or whatever.

210
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.919
And they weren't like they were hustling hustling to get.

211
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:49.639
They were hustling.

212
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.000
They were they were moving and shaking and hustling and

213
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.159
trying to make it happen. And you know, and if

214
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.799
Shem sent you a blessing, if God sent you a blessing,

215
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:58.759
you do really well. And yes, it's nice to get

216
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.120
blessings from God. And I believe all the blessings that

217
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:04.559
I've had come from God. Everything came from God. At

218
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.759
the same time, I believe God wants us to create

219
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.879
a strategy, wants us to improve ourselves, and wants us

220
00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:15.360
to make a difference for other people. And part of

221
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.159
that is having a plan. So when I teach people

222
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:21.759
how to be able to be successful on LinkedIn, it starts,

223
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:23.600
you know, they say there's two p's in the pod.

224
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:27.320
I think there's three piece in the profit there's three

225
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:29.200
piece in the profit. There's the plan, the people, and

226
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.480
the promise. So what's the plan? The plan is what

227
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.159
is your business plan, marketing plan and LinkedIn plan? And

228
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.639

00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.919

AI will write the whole plan for you.

235
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:53.759
I just need to know a little bit more about

236
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:56.360
your business, what is your offer and that type of stuff,

237
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.200

business plan, marketing plan and LinkedIn plan for you in

239
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.480
a matter of seconds. Then we move on to like, Okay,

240
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.360
now you have your plan, you know what you're selling.

241
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.399
You have a good offer. You have an offer that's

242
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.840
so good people would feel stupid saying no. Right, you

243
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.879
have a good offer, you know what you're offering, you

244
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.559
know what price point is, you know what your revenue is,

245
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:16.240
you know how many clients you need to get to

246
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:16.679
your goal.

247
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.240
Like, all that's done. Now it's about the people. Who

248
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:20.480
are you?

249
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.120
Who is your ideal client, who's your ideal target market,

250
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:25.679
who is your center of influence?

251
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.679
Who needs to refer you? Like all that type of stuff.

252
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.200
Once that's done, once you know who your ideal client is,

253
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.159
and most people say, oh, decision makers, Like that's not

254
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.399
a client. That's not an ideal client. A decision maker

255
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.039
is just a word. Okay, I want people. I want people.

256
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:42.600
I want to speak to people. Getting on the phone

257
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:44.320
with people. I'm like, okay, I have someone in India

258
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:45.639
that wants to talk to you right now, I have

259
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:49.320
someone in New Zealand. I have someone in Saudi Arabia

260
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:50.759
that wants to talk to you. Do you speak Arabic?

261
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.320
Dyada bitch as you're on mug And then like, what

262
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:55.799
are you talking about? I don't even to speak Arabic.

263
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:58.039
Why you're just shoving me some Arabic? I was like,

264
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.039
my grandparents spoke fluent Arabic. Like oh my god, that's

265
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.240
a whole other conversation. And my first language is not Arabic.

266
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.840
My parents are from South America, so I speak Spanish

267
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:10.399
as my first language. And so people are like, okay,

268
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.480
so you want to speak the Spanish people.

269
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:14.519
I'm like, I don't speak any Spanish. They tell me.

270
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.440
I'm like, so who are the people? Tell me who

271
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.519
the people are? Like I don't know who the people are.

272
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.200
I was like, so come take our course and we'll

273
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:24.120
show you the six different ways to pick your target work.

274
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.799
You answer six separate questions.

275
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.440
AI will suggest your target market and tell you where

276
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:32.120
they are and tell you exactly everything about them. It's like,

277
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.039
why do I need to know everything about my target market?

278
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.799
Is because you need the third P. Now that you

279
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.519
have the plan and you have the people, you need.

280
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.879
The third P. Like what's the third pie? It's like

281
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:43.759
the third I. It's like the why.

282
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.799
It's like your promise, your purpose, Like why why would

283
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.159
somebody want to buy from you? Like why what's your promise?

284
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.720
Why do they trust you? And so it's like how

285
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.919
do I develop a promise? Well, you fill out a

286
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.080
couple answer a couple of questions in our system, and

287
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:59.039
we just tell you why people should buy from you.

288
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.120
It has to do with their pain, those dreams and fears.

289
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.919
It has to do with how people think, both emotions

290
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:06.519
and ration. People make decisions based on emotions, they bucket

291
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:10.080
up with logic, and so how do we frame our

292
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:12.399
promise in a way where people will be like, they

293
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.440
trust you just based on your messaging, Like wow, really

294
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:19.879
really people will trust you based on messaging based on perception, Yeah,

295
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.519
they will. A promise is about perception. It's not even

296
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.200
about you doing anything, like, oh, if I do a

297
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:27.399
good job, then they'll trust me. No, if you promise

298
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:31.120
you'll do a good job, they'll trust you because if

299
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:32.960
you do a good job, that means they already trusted

300
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.320
you to do the job, So they have to trust

301
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.840
you before you even did the job. And that's why

302
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.039
the promise is so important. That's like such a big differentiator.

303
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.720
And that's why having good lead magnets, landing pages, and

304
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.559
building out your promise properly through what you teach is

305
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.799
really important. But that's one component of what like your

306
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:52.919
strategy has to do with the three p's in the pod,

307
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.799
which is your plan, your people, and your promise. And

308
00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:58.399
if you have a good strategy, then you move on

309
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.399
to the next step. Next step is about making sure

310
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.679
that you're building the right assets. That's why the bottom

311
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.519
we call it branding, the second thing we call it building,

312
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:08.159
and the third thing we call it booming. Those are

313
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.559
the three steps, branding, building and booming in the evergreen

314
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:11.600
networking system.

315
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.600
A lot of literation, A lot of literation in your world.

316
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.440
Joe, yo, yo yo, my name is Joe. When I'm

317
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.080

Me show you had to grow, Let me show you

319
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:25.480
had to show you had to Yeah, so that's the idea.

320
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:29.000
Well, listen, First of all, we could probably stop now

321
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:31.559
because there's a ton. We won't but there's a ton

322
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.879
to unpack here. Didn't I promise you we're going to

323
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.240
get some serious value today? Unbelievable Again, this is the

324

00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:53.159
things specifically. Okay, clearly you have a plant. Clear I mean,

328
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.519
I'm just going to summarize. But you've been talk about

329
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.720
the last eight or ten minutes as a plan. Right,

330
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.879
it's a marketing plan, slash business plan, a social media

331
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:05.600
plan kind of all bundle together. Right. You must use

332
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:08.360
the term AI five or six times. So for the

333
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:12.440
people who maybe just don't get AI, or skeptical about AI,

334
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:16.000
or think it's some like I don't know, plot from

335
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:20.519
some big brother to control us or whatever. Can you

336
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:25.840
break down why just on a fundamental level, AI is

337
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:28.480
helping us here or helping you to help people here.

338
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:34.799
I would say, if somebody wants to be able to

339
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:41.039
use artificial intelligence to grow their business, AI has to

340
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:41.879
know who you are.

341
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:44.879
Yeah, prompting good, Okay?

342
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.879
And no, not just prompting, but like training the artificial

343
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:53.759
intelligence to know exactly who you are. And most people

344
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.960
they themselves, they don't know who they are, like who

345
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.919
is Steve Green? That's that's a main or a foundation

346
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:06.920
or like training the AI, because the AI knows your

347
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.519
ideal client and everything about them.

348
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.240
But does it know you? Does it know your voice?

349
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:15.559
Does it know how you speak? Does it know how

350
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:17.880
you stand out? Does it know your competitive advantage? Does

351
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:20.160
it know your experience? Does they know your story? And

352
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:23.839
that's where the second component of building, the three parts

353
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:28.000
of building is building your story, building your presence, and

354
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:31.440
then building your technology tools and automations and so on.

355
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.400
So you view AI like I think a lot of

356
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:43.799
people do, perhaps as a if it's a trained properly.

357
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.799
In other words, it good input is going to equal

358
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:50.400
good output bad inputs an equal bad output, right, if

359
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:52.519
it isn't set up right, if it isn't prompt to write,

360
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.720
if it isn't given the right information going in, say

361
00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:59.359
garbage and garbage out right. So part of the challenge

362
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.799
is under saying these things yourself in order to give

363
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.079
the right information or the proper and wesspindificial information into

364
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.039
the system. Does the I'm gonna ask you sort of

365
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.440
a yes no question. Does the average person really have

366
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:16.160
to understand AI to take advantage of it? Like do

367
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:16.960
we have to understand how?

368
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:18.759
I don't think no. I don't think you need to

369
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:21.000
understand AI. I think you need to work with someone

370
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:23.960
that understands AI. I think so this is this is

371
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:27.359
a major, major thing, A roadblock for a lot of

372
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:31.240
people is that, oh, I don't understand technology. I don't

373
00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:35.440
know how technology works. Well, you don't have to understand technology.

374
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:37.079
You don't have to understand AI. You don't have to

375
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.920
understand business. You just have to find someone that can

376
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.000
guide you and support and sit with you. Find a

377
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.960
mentor find a coach, invest in yourself. Don't try to

378
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:49.880
figure it all out yourself. You don't need to become

379
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.160
a surgeon to get a surgery. You don't need to

380
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.839
become a dog walker to get your dog walked. This

381
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.480
is a massive This is a massive thing that I learned,

382
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.000
I would say a good fifteen years ago from a

383
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.400
CTO because I thought I had to do everything myself.

384
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.559
And the CTO was sitting in his office ten million

385
00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:13.920
dollar business on four fifteen Madison Avenue, twenty fifth floor,

386
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:18.359
overlooking Manhattan and he's like, Joe, let me tell you something.

387
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:21.480
And I said what he's from get hungry. He's like, then,

388
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:24.640
let me tell you something. I was like, what He's like, First,

389
00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:29.079
get me a diet coke. And so I went, I

390
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:30.000
got them a diet coke.

391
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:30.640
I brought it back.

392
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:32.599
I'm like, tell me, tell me what, tell me what

393
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:34.799
you want to tell me. He's like, you don't have

394
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.519
to do anything. Even if you want a diet coke,

395
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:39.480
you just have to say, get me a diet coke,

396
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:42.640
and somehow a diet coke will appear. He's like, I

397
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:46.240
want solutions. This is what he said. I want solutions.

398
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:49.240
I don't want you to do anything. I don't want

399
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.839
you to do anything. I just want solutions. And that

400
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.839
really hit home for me. I was like, do you

401
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.960
mind if I hire two people under me right now,

402
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:00.400
He's like, do it. Here's the budget, here's one hundred

403
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:01.039
thousand dollars.

404
00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:03.519
Go do it. So he gave me one hundred thousand dollars.

405
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:05.680
I hired two people for fifty k each, and that

406
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:09.039
freed up all of my time. Now, I asked him,

407
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:10.599
what can I do? What should I do with my time?

408
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:13.599
He's like, start a business, do whatever you want. Is like,

409
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:16.240
I don't care what you do with your time. He's like,

410
00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:19.880
I don't want anyone complaining. So make sure that as

411
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.279
a director of marketing for this director of it for

412
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.680
this company, that the servers are up, help desk is working,

413
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.599
that nobody comes to me with any issues. Your first

414
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:34.039
line of defense if anybody complains about anything, to me.

415
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:35.079
You did a terrible job.

416
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.920
So he's like, let me do the big thinking about

417
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:41.240
how the organization needs to grow from ten million to

418
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.880
one hundred million. You, Joe, make sure that the two

419
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.599
hundred employees are taken care of. And I don't want

420
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.759
to hear from you unless there's something that you need

421
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:53.920
me to approve, like a budget. If it's under ten

422
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:56.680
thousand dollars, to deal with it. I was like, I'm

423
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.480
good see you never let me know when you need

424
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:04.079
anything from goodbye, And I hired two amazing people under me.

425
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:05.559
I trained them and.

426
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.240
Then I just, you know, spend time making sure the

427
00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:12.400
organization was solid, had all the latest technology, everything was

428
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:14.519
backed up, everything was working. There were some days that

429
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:17.480
I had to spend two full, twenty four hour sessions

430
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:19.680
making sure everything was transferred and backed up.

431
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:22.440
But then I was basically free. I was able to

432
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:23.480
do whatever.

433
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.160
I wanted and I'm getting paid a beautiful six figure salary.

434
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:28.359
So I ended up starting a marketing agency which became

435
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:30.359
one of the fastest growing companies in America, and through

436
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.559
that company, ended up finding my business partner because I

437
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:35.279
had all the free time in the world to do

438
00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:37.720
whatever I wanted to do. So it was just like

439
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:42.039
if you think about the concept of like find people

440
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.039
to help you, Like there's someone making cold calls right

441
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:48.319
now for me, I'm not doing it. There's someone that

442
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:53.160
I hired that's sending out connection requests and building relationships

443
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.720
with my own clients right now. It's happening right now

444
00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:59.200
as I'm on a podcast right now. Someone's doing the

445
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:02.640
work that I I could be doing, which I enjoy

446
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:05.359
doing thoroughly, but I know I'm not going to do

447
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:07.640
it because no one else is going to do this podcast.

448
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:09.079
No one else is going to go on LinkedIn Live.

449
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:10.440
No one else is going to do that for me.

450
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:13.920
Eventually there will be other doing this, which I'm training

451
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:17.079
into doing that, but there's somebody else creating the ninety

452
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:20.200
nine hacks course with my clone. Did you know Steve

453
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:21.319
that I cloned myself.

454
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.160
I didn't. I actually heard a rumor that you did,

455
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:28.759
but I didn't know it actually happened. Yet.

456
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:31.599
I have a clone of myself that's gonna that is

457
00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:35.119
currently presenting the ninety nine hacks course, the crash course

458
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:37.960
called ninety nine Hacks, which teaches ninety nine hacks on.

459
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:38.960
How to lever's LinkedIn.

460
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.720
We're selling it at ninety percent off or whatever, so

461
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:45.200
it's going to it's a thousand dollars program. We're selling

462
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:47.160
it for under one hundred bucks, and it gives you

463
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:50.799
ninety nine ninety nine ninety nine hacks and how to

464
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.119
leverge LinkedIn for under one hundred bucks.

465
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:55.119
You get ninety nine hacks each one minute.

466
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:58.640
And I put up a LinkedIn poll asking people if

467
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:01.000
they were interested in the ninety nine hacks and one

468
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.160
hundred and seventy one people said they wanted to buy it,

469
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.559
which is and so I already have one hundred people

470
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.160
that paid for it, so that pays for the the

471
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:12.759
the I've almost one hundred people were like, we have

472
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:14.599
a couple of spots left, so if you guys are interested,

473
00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:19.359
let me know. But but you know, the the that

474
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:24.680
pays for the designer and the whatever, the video editor

475
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:28.119
to take my clone, pay for the clone software to

476
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:30.880
take my voice cloned, pay for the voice cloning software,

477
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:33.920
and that initial amount, I didn't pay a penny for it.

478
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:38.319
My client's already prepaid, so that the person that's the

479
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:42.400
video editor goes into the clone and takes my clone

480
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:44.559
with all my ideas and then just goes off and

481
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.079
builds out the course. And the course is coming out

482
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:49.559
in a couple of weeks, and whoever prepaid for it

483
00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:52.640
gets it at ninety percent off. But the idea is,

484
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.920
like I put up a poll on LinkedIn, people said

485
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:58.119
they wanted to buy it. I made a checkout page

486
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:01.640
on I made a checkout page on strong Okay. I

487
00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:04.400
sent it to those people as kind of pre order.

488
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:07.000
They pre ordered it and paid for it. I took

489
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:09.279
the money that they paid, I sent it to the

490
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:11.920
video editor, and then I sent it to the software

491
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.119
company that have cloned me, and I said, build the

492
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:17.440
course because the people paid already and I'm gonna have

493
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:19.039
to refund all of them if you guys don't build

494
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:22.119
the course, an they're off building one hundred and one

495
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:25.279
minute videos or ninety nine one minute videos that go

496
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:27.880
through the entire crash course that I wrote down while

497
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.519
I was on an airplane one day.

498
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:34.319
So let me let me ask you this because I'm

499
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:37.240
sure there's people out there listening to the same. Well,

500
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:40.559
this is awesome, I love this just all makes sense

501
00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:42.960
when Joe's doing it. But he's been in this fifteen

502
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:45.319
twenty years. He's a professional, He's at the top of

503
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.880
his game. I'm a newcomer. I've been struggling with this.

504
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:53.240
I don't have the same kind of success. What would

505
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.000
you say to the I don't want to say. I

506
00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:59.039
want to kick my words, look carefully, more of a

507
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:01.720
novice newcomer into the space.

508
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.599
When I was brand new. When I was brand new, Steve,

509
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:06.960
you know what I did. You know what I did

510
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.680
to learn how to launch a course. I hired a

511
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:15.599
guy named Aaron, and Aaron taught me. Now he didn't.

512
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.799
I couldn't afford Aaron five thousand dollars an hour. That's

513
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:21.559
what he charges. I couldn't afford Aaron. So what did

514
00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:24.400
I do? I bought his course. It cost me one

515
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:25.200
thousand dollars.

516
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:26.759
That's what I did. I bought his course. It cost

517
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:27.640
me one thousand dollars.

518
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:28.960
I'm spending itself.

519
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:31.759
I just paid one thousand dollars for the course. I

520
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:34.680
didn't have the thousand dollars, but I borrowed the thousand

521
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:36.880
dollars on my credit card. I paid one thousand dollars.

522
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:39.519
But then I found an accountability partner to watch the

523
00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:43.079
course with me. I kid you not thirty times thirty

524
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.799
times thirty times I watched the course. The first time

525
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:47.960
I watched it, I didn'tunderstand anything, and I basically just said,

526
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:50.519
this bullshit. I can't understand it. But then I said

527
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:53.039
to myself, you know what, let me just watch it again.

528
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:55.240
And I washed it again, wash it again, and wash

529
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:57.240
it again, and watch it again, and washed it again,

530
00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:59.559
and watch it again. And then at the fifth or

531
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:02.079
sixth time, I started understanding it, and I started thinking

532
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:03.799
to myself, I'm gonna like this is good. I just

533
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:06.559
don't get it yet. I just I'm starting to get it,

534
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:08.640
but I don't get it. I didn't have that epiphany,

535
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:10.480
you know, that moment where you're like, shit, I got it.

536
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:13.680
And then I started taking notes and watching it, and

537
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:16.160
it was in my basement in Brooklyn, and I was

538
00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:18.160
kind of like watching it and I was like watching

539
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:20.359
it again. I was like, there's something I don't get

540
00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:22.240
about this. And then I reviewed it with somebody else

541
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:25.119
and I watched it again. And it was a short thing.

542
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:27.039
It wasn't like a two hour course or whatever. It

543
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:29.480
was like a five minute video that I watched. And

544
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:31.599
I watched it and watch it and watch it, and

545
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:33.799
then finally I applied it and watched it again and

546
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:37.000
fix what I applied, and watch it again, and then

547
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.000
all of a sudden, at one point it just cracked.

548
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:41.960
And then I got it. And once I got it,

549
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:43.599
I didn't need to watch it ever again. I was like,

550
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:45.400
I got it. I get it. I get it now,

551
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:47.880
Like I understand what he's talking about. I understand how

552
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:50.279
to build my ladder of success. I understand how to

553
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:53.160
build my signature thing. I understand how to you know,

554
00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:55.720
everything that I talk about now is all based on

555
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:58.039
that course. For all the businesses in the future that

556
00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:01.880
I'll ever have is based on me having a fundamental

557
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.920
knowledge of how to be able to communicate my products

558
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.359
and services in a way that people actually want to

559
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.000
buy it. And it's because I hired someone's expertise. There

560
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:13.839
are so many different times that I had to make breakthroughs.

561
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:16.640
It was because I read the book four times. I

562
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:20.599
read Getting Things Done four times, and then I highlighted

563
00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:22.720
it a fifth time, and then I reviewed it with

564
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:24.799
my team a six time, and then I made them

565
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:26.759
all read it four times. And that's how we get

566
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.960
shit done. You get what I'm saying. It's like there's

567
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.119
a called Getting Things Done. People read the first couple

568
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:33.519
of pages of it and they're like, this is too

569
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:36.279
technical for me. It's not too technical. It's a system

570
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:38.440
and a process or getting things done. So if you're

571
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:40.880
not going to get anything done, you either have reasons,

572
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:43.279
oh there's a bunch of reasons and excuses, or you

573
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:46.160
have results. Results come from action. I saw this in

574
00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:50.079
a fortune cookie posted it on LinkedIn. Results come from action.

575
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.279
Assume of the fortune cookies basically what you're saying is this,

576
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.599
and I'm going to correct me if I'm summarized this

577
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:04.079
incorrectly or inaccurately. One, don't be afraid to invest in yourself. Two,

578
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:08.880
it's worthwhile to invest in another experts. Somebody knows more

579
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:11.480
than you. And three you have to commit to the

580
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:18.119
process almost indefatigably and tirelessly until you master it.

581
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:20.640
And number five is hire someone to help you do

582
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:21.119
the things that you.

583
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:23.680
Or when you can afford it, just offload it.

584
00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:27.480
But everyone can afford Everyone can afford five dollars. There's

585
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:31.000
a websyc called fiver. Right, so you have five dollars,

586
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:33.839
borrow five dollars. Okay, you could afford five dollars. There

587
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:35.400
are plenty of people that are willing to work for

588
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:37.960
five dollars, people willing to work for commission only.

589
00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:40.400
There's plenty of people that are willing to work to learn.

590
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:43.240
I've hired many interns in my life that have helped

591
00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:46.920
me so much. There's so many people. You don't need

592
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:51.519
more resources. I can't afford it. That's bullshit. That's an excuse.

593
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:53.359
That's more of a reason. Though you don't have results,

594
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:56.400
you have reasons or results you don't need more resources.

595
00:28:56.920 --> 00:28:59.039
You need to learn to be more resourceful with what

596
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:03.039
you already have. You got, use it, use your resources.

597
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:05.599
You got friends, you got investors, you got Oh, I

598
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:07.480
don't have a net work, I don't have people. You

599
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:10.279
have LinkedIn. It's free, go use it, Go go have

600
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.759
conversations with people. But I don't know how to log in.

601
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:16.240
Find someone that will help you. But I can't afford

602
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:19.480
to hire the guy. Borrow money. I don't have any credit.

603
00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:23.119
Get credit, figure it out, get someone to do it

604
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:26.680
for free. Like whatever you need to become an affiliate,

605
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:29.720
like figure out how to make it happen in a way.

606
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:31.640
Like this guy who told me I don't have any money.

607
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:35.640
I said, pay the thousand dollars for the program, and

608
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:38.039
I promise you'll make double within the next thirty days

609
00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:39.480
if you follow everything that I tell you to do.

610
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:41.960
The guy made double back. He spent one thousand, made

611
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:43.960
two thousand. He's like thrilled. He's like, oh my god,

612
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:46.640
this is crazy because they just walked him through the

613
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:49.960
path and he took the actions. If you take the actions,

614
00:29:50.079 --> 00:29:51.880
if I walk you through the path and you take

615
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:54.480
the actions, you are guaranteed to make the money because

616
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:58.039
action equals results every single time. If you know what

617
00:29:58.119 --> 00:30:00.920
you offer a woman. We may on a cruise. I

618
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:02.640
met another woman on the cruise. She came out and

619
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:04.920
she's like, Joe, not making any money. I was like,

620
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:06.480
I'm going to give you some free advice. As a

621
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:08.000
single mom, I'm going to sit down and give you

622
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:09.960
some free advice, and if you take action based on

623
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:11.119
this advice, you'll make money.

624
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:14.079
And if not, if you're not willing to do it.

625
00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:16.079
It's probably because you didn't invest in the advice, so

626
00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:17.839
then you could pay me for the advice, and then

627
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:20.240
you'll probably end up taking action because people that pay

628
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:22.119
pay attention. But I'm going to give you the free

629
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:24.000
advice anyway, because this is what I do for people.

630
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:26.119
I sit down with her, I gave her some free advice.

631
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:29.000
She took action on the free advice and she made

632
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.759
money off it. And she's like, Wow, this is incredible.

633
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:35.279
I made money off this free advice that you gave me.

634
00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:37.279
I said, could you imagine how much more money you'd

635
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.599
make if you actually paid me some money.

636
00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:47.279
Let's get into one last thing here. There's LinkedIn just broadly. Okay,

637
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:51.880
one point three billion people on it something like that, right,

638
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:57.799
a big, giant, giant world to investigate. But what percentage

639
00:30:57.799 --> 00:30:59.079
of people do it wrong?

640
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:04.759
Almost everyone is doing something wrong. Almost everyone is doing

641
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:06.680
something wrong. Most people are not showing up.

642
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:09.039
Sixty percent of people never even log in, often like

643
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:11.359
they're not really doing it properly. They're not even they're

644
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:14.440
not even present. A lot of people are not networking

645
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:17.960
at all. They're not I call it not working. Okay,

646
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:20.559
there's networking and there's not working.

647
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.079
Easier to not work for most people. Yes, so without

648
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:28.640
without giving away to shop. Because you are a professional

649
00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:30.920
LinkedIn trainer with the court and all such.

650
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:32.680
And such, I'll give away the shop. I'm happy to

651
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:33.440
give away the shop.

652
00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:37.519
So let's say, let's do it this way. What's the

653
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:39.839
number one thing people need to do they're not doing

654
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:41.200
besides logging in?

655
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:44.039
Get on conversations with people like me and you are having.

656
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:48.480
That's a number one. Just get getting book meetings. Yeah,

657
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:50.680
get get on the phone book meetings and talk to

658
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:53.839
people and have them and learn about them, you know,

659
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:56.079
think about it. The average CEO is nine hundred and

660
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:58.319
thirty connections on LinkedIn. But when I ask people, I say,

661
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:00.000
how many of your LinkedIn connections. Have you had to

662
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:03.279
conversation within the past sixty days? They tell me zero.

663
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.319
You're connected to one thousand people and you had zero

664
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:08.519
conversations with your connections.

665
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:09.640
Zero.

666
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:13.079
That's an embarrassment to society. I teach my clients I

667
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:17.240
have five conversations a day, every single day, twenty a week,

668
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:19.599
eighty a month, one thousand a year. If you don't

669
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.440
have five conversations a day, you're not part of any

670
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:25.359
of my programs because everyone that joins our programs has

671
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:27.720
more conversations. How many people did you speak to? How

672
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.400
many people attended your event today that was in our system?

673
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:33.160
How many people? A dozen? Right, let's just say a dozen,

674
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:37.759
fifteen people, whatever, fifteen. You had enough more conversations than

675
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:40.680
most people have in a month. You had it today. Yeah,

676
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:42.440
and all those people you could follow up. Then they'll

677
00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:45.119
take your call because you're their leader. Every one of

678
00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:46.880
them will be happy to have an hour call with you,

679
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:48.640
or a thirty minute call or a fifty minute call

680
00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:52.039
with you. And that's just one conversation that you had

681
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:54.960
for an hour today, where you have fifteen people show

682
00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:56.559
up to your thing, and how many people would pay

683
00:32:56.599 --> 00:32:58.480
one thousand two thousand and three thousand dollars to that

684
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:01.039
have fifteen people show up to something with Facebook ads?

685
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:03.759
You know, think about that, how much money people spend

686
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:05.400
on ads to get people to show up to an event.

687
00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:08.240
And you had team qualified people that all paid money

688
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:11.319
to be part of your thing. They're all qualified, they're

689
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:14.000
already investing in stuff, and you have them in front

690
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:17.279
of you just like that. And every single one of

691
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:19.960
your friends, connections and everyone listening can have this if

692
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:23.519
you have the right strategy. So you need to have conversations.

693
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:25.920
Here are three things that most people don't have that

694
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:29.359
They need exposure. You need exposure, so you need people

695
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:31.799
to know you. You've heard the term people do business

696
00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:33.920
with other people that they know you ever heard that before?

697
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:37.079
The second thing that yeah, second thing is they need

698
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:37.720
to trust you.

699
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:40.000
So how do you get credibility? So you need exposure,

700
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:43.119
you need credibility. Those are two really key ingredients. And

701
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:45.440
then they need to like you. So if they know you,

702
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:47.599
they like you. When they trust you, they'll do business

703
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:47.880
with you.

704
00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:48.440
Think about it.

705
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:50.319
Anyone that you're throwing money at it is because you

706
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:52.279
know them, like them, and trust them. That's why it's

707
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:54.079
so important to have the plan to people and the promise.

708
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:56.119
That's why it's so important to have your stories, your presence,

709
00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:58.480
and your technologies, and that's why it's so important to

710
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.599
have exposure credibility meetings. And if you don't have exposure,

711
00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:04.240
credibility and meetings, then you're not attending any of my

712
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.480
free sessions that I have, certainly not the paid ones.

713
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:09.400
And you don't have the right technology, and you don't

714
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:11.800
have the right presence. So let me teach you and

715
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:13.920
walk you through step by step how to do it

716
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:15.719
with the checklist. We meet all of our clients every

717
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:18.559
single day. We have office hours every day. We have

718
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:23.239
events every month week. Yes, and and by the way,

719
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:26.599
we don't charge anything extra. You pay a few hundred dollars,

720
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:29.199
you're in the door and you get unlimited access, unfettered

721
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:30.360
access to my whole team.

722
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:32.079
We have a community.

723
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:34.159
We have a community of a thousand people that are

724
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.719
all engaged on LinkedIn. They're all highly qualified people, they

725
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:40.880
all have invested and so that's that's the idea. The

726
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:44.480
idea is get into the right community. You know, most people,

727
00:34:44.920 --> 00:34:46.960
they're in the wrong community. You're the average of the

728
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.000
five people you're spending the most time with So you

729
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:51.199
want to be more active on LinkedIn, you want a network,

730
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:54.079
come to our community. We have dozens and dozens and

731
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:56.440
dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of

732
00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:58.519
people would be thrilled to get on the phone with

733
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:00.000
you right now and refer business to you.

734
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:01.840
Would be thrilled.

735
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:04.719
You would have unlimited conversations just by entering our ecosystem.

736
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:07.079
So that's what I tell people. It's like, just start

737
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:10.719
having conversations. That's the bottom line. Get off LinkedIn, get

738
00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:13.039
on the phone, get on Zoom, get on a face

739
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:14.719
to face. I mean, me and you were what We're

740
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:16.760
both in New Jersey, We're both not far from each other,

741
00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:18.400
so you can easily.

742
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:20.199
You can take my address, come to my house.

743
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:23.800
I'll sit down with you and we'll have some shwarma.

744
00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:28.000
I'm gonna take you up on that. So all right,

745
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.800
let's do this. Is there anything you want to get

746
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:33.400
into that we have not had a chance to get

747
00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:35.360
into briefly and in a worder to get into my

748
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:36.639
wrap up here.

749
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:39.079
Yeah, So if you want to wrap up, you need

750
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:41.000
to make sure that the words rhyme. That's the most

751
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:43.880
important thing. You gotta make sure the words that's how

752
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:48.119
you wrap up Joe with the right strategy. Let me

753
00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:50.719
tell you how to be The last thing I want

754
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:53.119
to tell everybody. The secret to living is giving. If

755
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:55.840
you want to get, you got to give. You got

756
00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:59.719
to invest. Investing in yourself, investing in your network, investing

757
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:03.079
in our people. Having the right people around you is key.

758
00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:06.199
Don't try to do everything yourself. Find someone that has

759
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:08.840
already done it that will help you get there because

760
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:14.440
success leaves clues. Success is a repeatable process of getting

761
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:16.840
from where you are right now to your goal. It's

762
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:19.480
called from point A to point B. You don't need

763
00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:22.159
to range rover to get from point A to point B.

764
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:25.239
You can use a Honda Civic. You can use a bicycle,

765
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:27.480
or you could use bus number eleven, which is your

766
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.280
two feet. You could figure out how to make it happen.

767
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:32.159
It's much easier to take a bus or a train.

768
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:34.840
It's much easier to take a plane. It's much easier

769
00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:37.440
to take a broomstick that flies. But we don't have

770
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:40.119
that magical broomstick. Even though someone on Instagram seld you

771
00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:43.559
the magical broomstick that flies, the broomstick doesn't fly, It sweeps,

772
00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:46.360
and most of us are weeping instead of sweeping. So

773
00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:48.360
let me tell you what you need to do. What

774
00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:50.920
you need to do is find someone that can help

775
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:54.159
you use your b resourceful, stop worrying about not half

776
00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:57.760
enough money, and start living in abundance and start attracting

777
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:01.719
what you want. Rub some elbows with some grease, with

778
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:03.760
some other people around you that are doing the work,

779
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:07.000
and watch what happens. When you do the work consistently

780
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:10.920
with the right strategy, magic happens. And for me, magic

781
00:37:11.239 --> 00:37:14.360
is the very simple art of planting a seed, putting

782
00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:17.679
some water and sunlight in it, adding some fertilizer, and

783
00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:21.840
watching the tomato seed blossom into a seedling and eventually

784
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:25.000
into a forest of tomatoes. And then you harvest your tomatoes,

785
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:27.400
you get rid of the aphids, you have a great time.

786
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:29.239
And trust me, I do this often.

787
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:31.039
I live in New Jersey now, and when I lived

788
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:32.840
in Brooklyn, the only grass I had is grass you

789
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:36.039
can smoke. Now I'm planting tomatoes.

790
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:40.719
You've made it. You've made it. Hey, let me ask

791
00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:42.400
you this, And I want to get into something real,

792
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:47.440
real quick with you. You feel like your work is done?

793
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:49.519
Do you feel like just getting started? I mean, you

794
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:52.920
have so many projects. I'm lucky to be in a

795
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:56.119
few of them with you. But you feel like you

796
00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:59.159
just scratching the surface. I mean, where do you sort

797
00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:02.880
of see your positioning? I mean in terms of what

798
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:06.760
you can ultimately accomplish because you've accomplished. I mean, you're

799
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:10.320
a humble person, but in general, you've a comp I

800
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:13.239
can tell you Joe's accomplished the tons of It's impacted

801
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:17.159
very positively a lot of people. Most people speak very

802
00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:22.800
highly of him in the professional world. But if you

803
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:24.639
have any goals or anything, you just I haven't feel

804
00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:27.599
like you've gotten to yet, or you need to maybe

805
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:29.719
move on to or I'm not sure if we even

806
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.280
ask the question as concisely as I want, But what

807
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:33.079
do you think.

808
00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:34.760
Right now?

809
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.360
It's about being present. Wherever I am right now is

810
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:40.000
exactly where I need to be. I have five beautiful children.

811
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:42.079
I got to be present for them. I have a

812
00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:45.440
thousand amazing clients. I have to be present for them.

813
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:47.559
Just being present with what the universe is giving me

814
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:50.159
as gifts, and just being there for other people, making

815
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:52.159
a difference for people, one day at a time, one

816
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:54.280
moment at a time. Wherever I am is exactly where

817
00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:56.039
I need to be and just be fully in on

818
00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:58.920
wherever I am right now. That's kind of like where

819
00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:01.360
I am in life right now. In terms of my goals,

820
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:03.639
I want to impact people in a deeper basis. I

821
00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:06.599
want to make a difference for organizations. Company I'm speaking

822
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:10.679
to IBM, I'm speaking to large organizations that have, you know,

823
00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:15.039
thousands of sales teams that say salespeople, hundreds of sales

824
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:17.519
teams and thousands of salespeople that.

825
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:19.039
I can impact in a very deep way.

826
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.079
So right now I'm on a mission to build an

827
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:28.000
amazing AI assistant that also has agentic capabilities. And I'm

828
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:31.719
working with my team diligently to build this sales assistant

829
00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:35.760
for people and for organizations. So having an incredible sales

830
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.320
assistant will write your content that will help you with

831
00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:41.280
comments that will help you with doing AI research on people,

832
00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:44.920
organizing and sementing all your connections, and then eventually doing

833
00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:45.920
all the outreach for you.

834
00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:47.239
That's really where we're headed.

835
00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:51.280
We're headed to a place of agentic capabilities where instead

836
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:55.320
of hiring a sales rep, you hire our assistant that

837
00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:58.559
will do sales together with you and book your meetings

838
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:00.719
for you. That's kind of like where we're headed. And

839
00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:03.519
so like imagine you can have someone book all your

840
00:40:03.559 --> 00:40:06.159
calls for you. That's just an agent that does it

841
00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:08.960
for you. That's kind of like where we're headed. And

842
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:10.840
that's kind of like what I'd love to build right

843
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:14.920
now and build a beautiful piece of software that really saves.

844
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:17.119
A lot of people time and a lot.

845
00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:19.519
Yeah, and so the other end of it is like

846
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.119
waiting for the technology to catch up and being ready

847
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:24.719
for it when it does. And it's almost there. I

848
00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:26.440
see it there. It's like we're at the edge of it.

849
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:28.079
We're at the cutting edge of it. We already have

850
00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:30.079
all the clients, and we already have the basic the

851
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:32.880
basis of the technology. We're just going to add some more,

852
00:40:33.119 --> 00:40:35.480
some more things to it that just make it more

853
00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:37.960
useful and more useful and more useful. Like, for example,

854
00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:41.639
right now, you can use our technology to scour the

855
00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:44.559
web for any of your LinkedIn connections or anyone on

856
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:46.840
LinkedIn period. Like you just push about that and then

857
00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:48.920
you see the agent go off and crawl the web

858
00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.719
and bring back to you their contact information, bring back

859
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:55.199
to you with their personality, bring back to you what

860
00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:56.920
they do for a living and how you could help

861
00:40:56.960 --> 00:40:58.519
them and what you should say when you get on

862
00:40:58.559 --> 00:40:58.960
the phone.

863
00:40:59.679 --> 00:41:03.519
I want but the agent to bring that not to you.

864
00:41:03.400 --> 00:41:06.480
But to another agent that that agent can then reach

865
00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:09.239
out to that person via phone, via text, via whatever,

866
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:13.199
and then schedule the meeting on the calendar for another agent.

867
00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:16.079
That that agent goes and has an initial conversation with

868
00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:19.960
the person, and then that agent passes it off to

869
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:21.800
another one and then gets them on the phone with

870
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:23.679
you if you're even interested in being part of the process,

871
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:25.800
or that agent just closes the deal for you and

872
00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:27.599
then you can do the customer service, or we have

873
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:30.199
another agent doing the customer service, Like we can build

874
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:33.400
a whole ecosystem around sales, and that's kind of like

875
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:35.360
where we're headed to. So we have the first part,

876
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:38.639
which is assisting you. Eventually it'll kind of do it

877
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:41.000
all for you. But you know that's that's neither here

878
00:41:41.079 --> 00:41:43.360
nor there, but that's the idea. And we would do

879
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:45.880
that in terms of just like taking commission, Like if

880
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:47.719
I got you a deal, you don't have to pay

881
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:50.199
me anything. If I believed in your offer, I would

882
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:52.079
just do it for you commission only because I already

883
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:52.679
have everything.

884
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:54.559
So like I don't. I just I'll get the client.

885
00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:57.000
You just pay me a commission, pay me fifty percent

886
00:41:57.079 --> 00:41:58.760
or whatever you make, and I'm good. You know, like

887
00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:01.039
I'm happy, you know, like you do the work, I

888
00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:03.960
get fifty percent. I'll bring you the clients. Everyone's happy.

889
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:06.239
Let's be partners now, all of a sudden, if I

890
00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:08.880
have the capabilities of doing that for any company, that

891
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:10.840
would really make an impact for a lot of people.

892
00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:15.440
Yeah, well, there you go. Who I gotta, I gotta,

893
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:17.000
I gotta take a deep breath. This was a lot

894
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:20.440
so Steve Green to make the Great Experience Podcast. My

895
00:42:20.519 --> 00:42:23.960
guest Joe Applebaum. Uh, we've been we've been just blowing

896
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:25.960
through this for about forty minutes, and I'm sure we

897
00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:29.639
could probably go another three hours. Huge amount of value, everybody.

898
00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:32.880
I hope, like Joe read that class forty six times whatever.

899
00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:35.000
I suggest you listen to this three or four because

900
00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:38.639
there is a lot to unpack. And I can tell

901
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:41.079
you because I work with Joe, I use some of

902
00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:43.880

903
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:46.159

962
00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:29.159
the better. And I don't care how it gets in

963
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:31.320
their hands. I just want people to have information they

964
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:33.760
can use to level up, take it the next level,

965
00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:38.199

00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:39.960
I think it's a wrap wr wr w R A P.

983
00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:42.480
Is it a filler rap?

984
00:46:43.159 --> 00:46:43.719
There you go?

985
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:48.360

I think you recorded this also, But I can get

987
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:53.000
you my version if you need it. I've been on

988
00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:54.880
pretty good lately. I'll be getting He's out on the

00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:58.360
on the podcast street in like the next day or

990
00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:02.719
two days later, because I've been dedicating time to a

00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:06.039
little more every day. But if you want to listen

I always like to offer that because.

996
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:16.239
Sometimes everything that was said was perfect. But I do

997
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:18.280
have a question for you. What did you love most

998
00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:19.519
about my interview?

999
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:22.000
Like? What did you love most about me being a guest.

1000
00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:28.920
On a just a sheer level. Just the positive energy.

1001
00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:32.000
I mean, it doesn't matter what you're saying at times.

1002
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:37.320
I think what you're projecting is a hopeful positivity and

1003
00:47:37.639 --> 00:47:40.280
it can do Like if I can do it, you

1004
00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:42.239
can do it if you get with the right path

1005
00:47:42.280 --> 00:47:47.880
to get with the right people. Content Wise, I like

1006
00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:50.840
the system. I mean, I'm a systems person too. I

1007
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:55.039
think most people fail because they're not systematic, and even

1008
00:47:55.079 --> 00:47:57.199
if they just lock onto a system, they don't do

1009
00:47:57.280 --> 00:48:00.599
it consistently enough. So I think I think the fact

1010
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:02.719
that you stressed that I took a lot of notes

1011
00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:07.519
while you were talking. But it's it's obvious, and I'm

1012
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:09.320
sure there's more too. If there's it's obvious, you have

1013
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:12.480
a well thought out creator to grave, it's just or

1014
00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:14.719
farmed the table, whatever you want to call it, system,

1015
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:17.039
and it's just a matter of people plugging it at

1016
00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:20.039
the beginning, work at the rate they can handle, and

1017
00:48:20.079 --> 00:48:22.599
eventually they hit the finish line.

1018
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:26.159
Wow, powerful, thank.

1019
00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:28.239
You, I'm a good I'm a good listener. It's you know,

1020
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:30.119
it's hard to your host and being a good listener

1021
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:33.639
at the same time. And I'm not saying that to

1022
00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:35.400
pat myself on the back. I'm just saying it because

1023
00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:39.079
I've done so many of these interviews that I think

1024
00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:41.559
that signs can get lost in the process. Sometimes people

1025
00:48:41.559 --> 00:48:44.760
are ready are already thinking the next question before the

1026
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:47.880
person's you've been done answering the present one, and they

1027
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:51.320
don't really they don't carry through the flow of the

1028
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:55.840
conversation as well. So but back to me, came across,

1029
00:48:55.880 --> 00:48:59.679
loud and clear, the importance of the system, clarity of message,

1030
00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:02.159
and these are you know, we really think alike. These

1031
00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:04.400
are things I preach all the time. I may not

1032
00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:06.519
be quite as eloquent in the way I do it,

1033
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:10.039
but that's probably just because I haven't been doing it

1034
00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:14.440
as much or too big an audience. But that's my goal.

1035
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:15.679
I'm trying to get there.

1036
00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:19.559
So you're gonna do really great.

1037
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:21.800
Yeah, if you have a good offer and you have

1038
00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:24.039
a good network of people that trust you and you

1039
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:25.079
impact people.

1040
00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:26.880
You know I got I'll tell you what I got.

1041
00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:29.840
I got a specific offer that's been doing well, and

1042
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:32.639
I'm not sure exactly how to roll this through the

1043
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:36.679
whole landing page and uh, lead magnifice is good. But

1044
00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:40.000
what's been what's been a really good one lately is

1045
00:49:40.039 --> 00:49:42.039
I have this thing called the two hour ebook offer.

1046
00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:45.360
And basically, and I think I mentioned to this at

1047
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:47.719
one point, as long as people do an intake for

1048
00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:51.400
him will go from nothing to a fully done product

1049
00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:53.679
in two hours or less.

1050
00:49:54.199 --> 00:49:54.480
Wow.

1051
00:49:55.599 --> 00:49:57.320
I mean, it's like, it's not war and peace. It's

1052
00:49:57.320 --> 00:49:59.719
not two hundred pages, it's usually three or four pages.

1053
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:04.800
It's it solves all the marketing issues. What's who's your

1054
00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:09.519
what's your problem are you addressing? What's your solution? Why

1055
00:50:09.559 --> 00:50:12.199
are you the go to person? What's that based on?

1056
00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:15.320
What's your expertise? How do they get to you? What's

1057
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:17.360
the call to action? Is there an offer? It? It

1058
00:50:18.119 --> 00:50:21.800
addresses the eight or nine just core old school marketing

1059
00:50:21.960 --> 00:50:25.480
business class one oh one type stuff the most entrepreneurs

1060
00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:29.280
don't understand or can't communicate with any kind of clarity.

1061
00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:35.840
And it's been doing well. I've been doing like I

1062
00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:39.639
lowered the price a little against advisement from everybody I

1063
00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:43.119
had talked to, but I just I wanted to get

1064
00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:45.719
more people who had done it, because that's always my

1065
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:49.000
best referral source. So I figured, if I give up

1066
00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:50.960
a couple hundred dollars in prices.

1067
00:50:50.519 --> 00:50:53.280
I would say, I would say, in order for you

1068
00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:55.639
to be able to get more of those things, I

1069
00:50:55.639 --> 00:50:58.960
would say five calls a day interviewing people is if

1070
00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:01.840
you had an ebook done for you, what would your

1071
00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:02.679
e book be about?

1072
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:03.880
I'm going to write that thing.

1073
00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:07.920
If you have five calls every single day you interviewing,

1074
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:11.760
it's called prospect by interview. If you had an ebook

1075
00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:14.199
done for you, what would the e book be about

1076
00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:17.960
and how would it help your business?

1077
00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:22.360
And it doesn't have to be an ebook, but it's just.

1078
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:24.599
You had if you had, if you had, I keep

1079
00:51:24.599 --> 00:51:26.400
it simple, I'd say, if you had an ebook done

1080
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:29.199
for you, what would the e book be about?

1081
00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:34.280
And how would it help your business generate revenue? That's all.

1082
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:37.760
And then you say, those are the two questions that

1083
00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:38.320
I have for you.

1084
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:40.239
It'll take you five minutes to answer, and I just

1085
00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:43.559
I need five minutes of your time. And then and

1086
00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:45.760
I would say, five people a day, twenty a week,

1087
00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:49.320
eighty a month, than a year. How many of these

1088
00:51:49.360 --> 00:51:50.960
do you want to do a year? How many of

1089
00:51:51.000 --> 00:51:51.800
these e books?

1090
00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:53.639
My goal is to average one a day.

1091
00:51:55.239 --> 00:51:57.599
Okay, that's three hundred. That's two hundred days a year,

1092
00:51:57.679 --> 00:51:59.000
so it's two hundred of year. So if you want

1093
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:00.440
to do two hundred a year, if if you have

1094
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:03.079
that conversation with a thousand people, probably you'll get two

1095
00:52:03.159 --> 00:52:03.719
hundred a year.

1096
00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:06.719
I'm beating that number now, but I won't stay that

1097
00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:07.239
way forever.

1098
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:10.440
Maybe just if you will stay that way forever, if

1099
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:12.599
you just have five conversations a day with those interviews

1100
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:14.559
to start with that, we have a thousand people in

1101
00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:17.480
our community, so like, just tap into our community.

1102
00:52:17.519 --> 00:52:18.039
That's good.

1103
00:52:18.400 --> 00:52:21.599
And also you're and also go through your connections. You

1104
00:52:21.599 --> 00:52:24.159
have a massive amount of connections on LinkedIn. We made

1105
00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:26.280
I made you a dashboard. Go through the dashboard one

1106
00:52:26.320 --> 00:52:28.559
person at a time. Send them a message say can

1107
00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:29.920
you get on the pube with me for five minutes.

1108
00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:32.360
I have questions to ask you. You have five minutes.

1109
00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:34.199
And if their cell phones on LinkedIn, just call them

1110
00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:35.400
and say I have two questions to you.

1111
00:52:35.480 --> 00:52:36.360
My name is Steve Green.

1112
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:39.079
If I if you had an ebook done for you,

1113
00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:40.719
what would the topic be and how would it help

1114
00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:41.199
your business?

1115
00:52:41.199 --> 00:52:41.639
And that's it.

1116
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:44.119
And then if they say I don't want an ebook done,

1117
00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:45.679
then you hang up and you move on. But if

1118
00:52:45.719 --> 00:52:47.480
they say, well my e book would be blah blah

1119
00:52:47.519 --> 00:52:49.480
blah blah blah, say let me do a research on it,

1120
00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:51.000
and let's set up a fifteen minute call so I

1121
00:52:51.039 --> 00:52:53.719
can tell you what research I found about this topic

1122
00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:54.920
to help you blah blah blah.

1123
00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:56.280
And then you tell them your offer and see if

1124
00:52:56.280 --> 00:53:01.519
they sign up. And that's it. That five minutes to see.

1125
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:02.960
If you know where where I don't. I don't want

1126
00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:03.480
to take.

1127
00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:06.760
Time It's like my team is telling me to go now.

1128
00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:09.000
Yeah, I know the question I need. The question I

1129
00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:11.519
need answered is which I'll figure out on my owner

1130
00:53:11.519 --> 00:53:14.760
if you get thoughts later. Is that is the best

1131
00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:19.280
way to make that transition from contact slash connection to

1132
00:53:19.320 --> 00:53:21.280
the phone call. I know how to do it, I

1133
00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:22.320
just haven't found the best.

1134
00:53:22.159 --> 00:53:25.679
Way to post the question on the school community. And

1135
00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:28.159
I will leave you a thoughtful answer there. That's a

1136
00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:32.159
great question to ask. Yeah, how do I like from greeting?

1137
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:34.840
How do I go from greeting to meeting? How do

1138
00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:36.679
I go from saying thanks for connecting with me on

1139
00:53:36.719 --> 00:53:39.119
LinkedIn to get on the phone with me?

1140
00:53:39.199 --> 00:53:40.960
And I will give a very thoughtful answer.

1141
00:53:41.039 --> 00:53:42.320
I'm going to do that right now.

1142
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:44.840
All right, Thank you very much, Steve. We'll talk all right.

1143
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:47.599
This is I'll see I'm going to open the room

1144
00:53:47.679 --> 00:53:48.559
like twenty after.

1145
00:53:49.119 --> 00:53:52.119
Amazing, I'll see if maybe twenty after okay, okay, I'll

1146
00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:52.840
see you five minutes.

1147
00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:54.199
Let's close a bunch of them.

1148
00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:55.880
Thanks, all right, bye, thank you.
