00:00:00.098 --> 00:00:00.658
Hi, everyone.
00:00:00.698 --> 00:00:03.440
This is Nikhil Sai, and you're listening to the HeadSmack Podcast.
00:00:04.282 --> 00:00:08.265
You are listening to conversations with misfits, mavericks, and trailblazers.
00:00:09.586 --> 00:00:11.006
Hey, welcome to the HeadSmack Podcast.
00:00:11.048 --> 00:00:14.070
My name is Paul Pabonli, and I'm excited to have another misfit with me.
00:00:14.570 --> 00:00:21.577
I have Nik Sai with me, and he has delivered over$500 million in verified results for his clients.
00:00:21.617 --> 00:00:27.222
He's interviewed more than 100 millionaires on his podcast, The Nikhil Sai Show.
00:00:27.942 --> 00:00:30.806
And he's also got all kinds of Yeah.
00:00:30.826 --> 00:00:34.334
Thanks, Paul, for inviting me.
00:00:34.475 --> 00:00:35.396
And I'm
00:00:35.417 --> 00:00:40.689
excited to add value to the listeners today.
00:00:41.378 --> 00:00:43.121
I'm looking forward to the conversation.
00:00:43.722 --> 00:00:45.005
Love, love your story.
00:00:45.064 --> 00:00:47.348
And I look forward to hearing more about it.
00:00:48.210 --> 00:00:50.454
Congratulations on those achievements.
00:00:51.137 --> 00:00:54.703
And so let me hear a little bit about your backstory.
00:00:55.664 --> 00:00:58.310
You know, you've shared a little bit about it, but I want to kind of hear from you.
00:00:58.350 --> 00:01:04.382
You can go as far back as you want to, but just tell me a little bit about the origin story of Nick.
00:01:04.834 --> 00:01:05.635
Sure, okay.
00:01:06.034 --> 00:01:10.159
I'm originally born in India and now my business resides in Dubai.
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:19.527
And you can catch me in random countries anytime because my business is virtual now and I do like the freedom of traveling a lot.
00:01:19.966 --> 00:01:24.090
And it's not that productive to be transparent, but it's just what I enjoy doing as of now.
00:01:24.150 --> 00:01:29.715
I speak at events, I go and meet people at different events and have great friends all over the world.
00:01:30.075 --> 00:01:33.239
So it's a fun place and time to be in.
00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:34.799
But this wasn't like this.
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:41.897
When I started my journey back in the COVID time, I was a broke dropout kid, confused.
00:01:42.317 --> 00:01:44.503
I was doing my mechanical engineering.
00:01:44.522 --> 00:01:47.631
I just finished my diploma of mechanical engineering.
00:01:47.671 --> 00:01:50.878
So I was just about to repeat the same life for the next three years.
00:01:50.938 --> 00:01:51.980
And I was like so confused.
00:01:52.001 --> 00:01:54.825
I'm like, holy moly, like this is not going to work out.
00:01:54.885 --> 00:01:56.007
I'm not built for jobs.
00:01:56.388 --> 00:02:05.162
The good thing is I've got my hands on some self-education books, like Rich Dad, Poor Dad, for example, was one of those books that give me a different perspective.
00:02:05.221 --> 00:02:10.830
And I realized how gaining new insights can completely change how you view your world.
00:02:11.512 --> 00:02:17.822
So I've been ingrained with one common goal because my mom is a teacher.
00:02:17.861 --> 00:02:34.312
So I was just, I was just drilled with this idea that if I get a government job, like if I just work for government, I get my salary on time, basically get drugged every month with that salary so that I don't have to have any dreams anymore and just settle down in life.
00:02:34.794 --> 00:02:35.875
That was my ultimate goal.
00:02:36.134 --> 00:02:44.246
But once I read this book and I realized that there is four levels, you know, like there's self-employment, there's employment, there's business and investor.
00:02:44.746 --> 00:02:46.688
I realized like, holy moly, there's more to life.
00:02:46.788 --> 00:02:56.921
And then I've discovered more and more entrepreneur stories and realized like, holy smokes, like somebody can shoot up three rockets and fail and can still shoot up the fourth one and enter the space.
00:02:57.409 --> 00:03:01.262
even without being a professional engineer, what am I doing with my life?
00:03:01.301 --> 00:03:02.088
That was the question.
00:03:02.722 --> 00:03:10.533
The good thing is I've done an internship when I'm finishing my diploma at a place where I've hanged out, luckily, with a lot of old folks.
00:03:10.834 --> 00:03:13.919
These are people who are closer to their retirement in their 60s.
00:03:14.259 --> 00:03:16.282
They've had a secure job all their life.
00:03:16.723 --> 00:03:23.293
And I've heard their stories and I've heard their regrets saying, hey, I've been basically getting the same amount of salary for my entire life.
00:03:23.813 --> 00:03:27.680
I've taken care of my kids and here I am just regretting my whole life.
00:03:28.420 --> 00:03:30.084
And I was like, I don't want to be this guy.
00:03:30.283 --> 00:03:31.586
Like, I don't want to be like them.
00:03:32.002 --> 00:03:36.788
So I was like, we are already below poverty and we're not doing that good anyway.
00:03:37.169 --> 00:03:38.310
I literally have nothing to lose.
00:03:38.409 --> 00:03:39.371
Why not take the risk?
00:03:39.812 --> 00:03:40.413
Why not just...
00:03:40.432 --> 00:03:41.394
Right, right, right.
00:03:41.974 --> 00:03:48.182
So I discovered entrepreneurship, started a few things here and there, gained a lot of experience there.
00:03:48.502 --> 00:03:51.766
But then I jumped into digital marketing in 2020 when the COVID hit.
00:03:52.187 --> 00:03:55.331
Russell Brunson started this whole movement called One Funnel of a Challenge.
00:03:55.391 --> 00:03:57.413
A lot of businesses in the US were shut down.
00:03:57.454 --> 00:04:00.117
They wanted to go online and ClickFunnels was...
00:04:00.610 --> 00:04:01.794
empowering them to do that.
00:04:02.254 --> 00:04:03.979
And when there is a wave, you got to ride it.
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.628
So, you know, I invested in mentors.
00:04:06.930 --> 00:04:11.203
I, you know, learned how to build a successful agency in a very short amount of time.
00:04:11.263 --> 00:04:12.567
We started gaining momentum.
00:04:12.788 --> 00:04:14.111
I was actually good at what I'm doing.
00:04:14.151 --> 00:04:19.788
This is, One of the things most people forget about, which is you got to be very good at the craft and delivering reserves.
00:04:19.848 --> 00:04:21.651
My clients were making a lot of money with us.
00:04:22.052 --> 00:04:25.821
So we were being referred and we were getting a lot of business and we continue to deliver.
00:04:25.901 --> 00:04:32.153
And here we are five years down the line doing the same thing, making people more and more money and being successful at it.
00:04:32.961 --> 00:04:33.403
Wow.
00:04:33.622 --> 00:04:33.783
Wow.
00:04:33.822 --> 00:04:34.764
That's an amazing story.
00:04:34.785 --> 00:04:36.646
So I want to backtrack just a little bit.
00:04:36.687 --> 00:04:42.555
And so, you know, you mentioned that you were a broke student, you know, pursuing these endeavors.
00:04:43.658 --> 00:04:47.223
You know, studying engineering is very different to entrepreneurship.
00:04:48.345 --> 00:04:52.189
Was there anybody in your life that kind of helped you enter into that?
00:04:52.230 --> 00:04:54.533
Or was it simply the books that inspired you into that?
00:04:55.475 --> 00:04:57.077
I mean, I'm basically...
00:04:57.569 --> 00:04:59.851
smart cutting myself into it.
00:04:59.992 --> 00:05:07.300
So for example, just like how you are interviewing me, I have basically created a podcast, right?
00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:10.862
I saw the people who have this award behind me, the golden award.
00:05:11.204 --> 00:05:14.706
And that's the Oscar of marketing basically, right?
00:05:14.766 --> 00:05:15.848
Like in the ClickFunnels space.
00:05:16.488 --> 00:05:22.535
And I was like, holy moly, if I can make a million dollars in my lifetime, it will be life-changing.
00:05:22.634 --> 00:05:23.776
That's where I come from, right?
00:05:24.317 --> 00:05:29.841
And I was like, Oh my God, these guys charge thousands of dollars for hourly consulting.
00:05:29.922 --> 00:05:31.386
Their courses are expensive.
00:05:31.526 --> 00:05:32.148
I cannot join.
00:05:32.168 --> 00:05:32.788
I had no money.
00:05:33.230 --> 00:05:34.613
So I was like, what is the other way around?
00:05:34.653 --> 00:05:40.509
Then I saw a Pakistani guy who interviews the people who have these awards.
00:05:40.769 --> 00:05:42.350
And I was like, wait a minute.
00:05:42.711 --> 00:05:45.514
I thought my brown skin couldn't attract these people.
00:05:45.574 --> 00:05:56.803
I thought my lack of ability to speak English, because my English was so bad back then, by the way, like my first sales call lasted seven minutes because the guy left, he couldn't understand anything I was talking about.
00:05:57.463 --> 00:05:59.245
I don't understand anything you're talking about.
00:05:59.266 --> 00:06:00.026
Wish you luck.
00:06:00.187 --> 00:06:00.586
Goodbye.
00:06:01.127 --> 00:06:02.949
So like, that's how my first sales call went.
00:06:02.968 --> 00:06:06.612
So if somebody is doing your first sales call and if it's over seven minutes, you can surpass me.
00:06:06.793 --> 00:06:09.074
You're doing better than me.
00:06:09.095 --> 00:06:16.380
So long story short, when I ceased somebody and they can achieve it, my mind goes like, if he can do it, so can I.
00:06:16.882 --> 00:06:18.523
So I started my podcast.
00:06:18.742 --> 00:06:24.168
I had one theme that, hey, I just want you to share your journey and share me what worked for you.
00:06:24.267 --> 00:06:25.910
And I was asking a lot of technical questions.
00:06:25.949 --> 00:06:29.793
So after every podcast, I used to write down what are the three things they've done right?
00:06:29.853 --> 00:06:31.093
What are the three things they've done wrong?
00:06:31.153 --> 00:06:36.718
So I can avoid those three which were wrong and can double down on the three that were actually working for you.
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:41.887
I've done that with 100 people in the first two years and And I've made millions of dollars with that same playbook.
00:06:42.048 --> 00:06:44.173
Literally, it's just the work that needs doing.
00:06:44.694 --> 00:06:49.245
And I've invested in mentors, coaching, made a lot of money, lost a lot of money, whatnot.
00:06:49.646 --> 00:06:50.810
I think the playbook is simple.
00:06:51.170 --> 00:06:52.894
It's just hard work that needs to be done.
00:06:53.175 --> 00:06:56.785
You just need to confront it, write it down, and just do it.
00:06:57.185 --> 00:06:57.987
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:58.026 --> 00:07:10.338
So as you started interviewing these people, you know, with you being overseas, with you not having a whole lot of experience, how did you get them to want to give you their attention and give you their time?
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:12.980
Yeah, that's a pretty smart question.
00:07:13.021 --> 00:07:13.841
Thanks for asking.
00:07:14.423 --> 00:07:17.646
I've made a very clear vision for what I'm trying to build.
00:07:18.065 --> 00:07:19.307
I'm not trying to be Joe Rogan.
00:07:19.408 --> 00:07:22.711
I'm not trying to be the number one big podcast in the world.
00:07:22.911 --> 00:07:23.992
My goal was very clear.
00:07:24.372 --> 00:07:26.014
Hey, I have a small business.
00:07:26.209 --> 00:07:28.552
ClickFunnels entrepreneurs following me.
00:07:29.194 --> 00:07:30.555
You are a ClickFunnels entrepreneur.
00:07:30.576 --> 00:07:32.680
You are seen as an idol because you have one of these awards.
00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:36.644
I would love to share your million dollar journey on my podcast.
00:07:37.105 --> 00:07:42.834
It's going to be a bunch of technical questions so you can add value to the people who are listening, including myself.
00:07:43.355 --> 00:07:46.180
Would you be opposed to spend 30 minutes on a virtual podcast?
00:07:47.281 --> 00:07:50.386
So it's a very soft commitment, not a hard sell.
00:07:51.298 --> 00:07:53.120
I don't have anything to promote to them.
00:07:53.620 --> 00:07:59.987
And everyone would like to, at least from my perspective, they want to share, they want to give back, they want to transfer their learnings.
00:08:00.387 --> 00:08:02.348
So they were like, sure, you know, I mean, why not?
00:08:02.990 --> 00:08:05.372
And the good thing is the first one is the hardest.
00:08:06.293 --> 00:08:09.937
Once you get the first one, then you show it like, hey, I know one guy who got this award.
00:08:10.737 --> 00:08:11.617
You have one of those.
00:08:11.658 --> 00:08:12.259
Can you jump on?
00:08:12.278 --> 00:08:13.519
So it became like a community.
00:08:13.540 --> 00:08:15.983
It became like a movement for me.
00:08:16.122 --> 00:08:27.526
When I went to America for the first time to this event, I've had several hundred friends, the best quality people, they all know me because there are a lot of these award winners who've been on my podcast.
00:08:27.987 --> 00:08:30.129
So it really has an effect overall.
00:08:30.149 --> 00:08:31.692
So yeah, the first one was the toughest.
00:08:32.354 --> 00:08:33.875
It just needs, again, you need to do volume.
00:08:34.356 --> 00:08:41.086
I've heard the stats, like the top 1% podcast don't even publish over 20 episodes, like in a lifetime.
00:08:41.267 --> 00:08:44.152
So if you want to be top 1%, all you have to do is 20 episodes.
00:08:44.511 --> 00:08:45.975
You just push yourself through that.
00:08:47.537 --> 00:08:47.957
You could just...
00:08:48.289 --> 00:08:49.130
Create momentum.
00:08:49.171 --> 00:08:49.972
So that's what I've done.
00:08:50.013 --> 00:08:51.274
The first one was the toughest.
00:08:51.855 --> 00:08:54.019
So I built a relationship.
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:57.504
I built, you know, like a long lasting connection with them.
00:08:57.524 --> 00:09:00.470
And we're still good friends with my first podcast guest.
00:09:01.010 --> 00:09:03.394
And when I was in America, you know, like we had pretty fun.
00:09:03.414 --> 00:09:04.456
We went to a bunch of events.
00:09:04.495 --> 00:09:06.379
We worked on a lot of projects together.
00:09:06.419 --> 00:09:07.802
That's what people miss on.
00:09:08.225 --> 00:09:10.671
I never monetized the podcast in a linear way.
00:09:10.912 --> 00:09:12.195
Like I'm not getting sponsors.
00:09:12.235 --> 00:09:13.136
I'm not trying to sell them.
00:09:13.597 --> 00:09:17.626
But these connections created partnerships, JV partnerships, service partnerships.
00:09:17.988 --> 00:09:19.751
They paid me a lot of money for my consulting.
00:09:19.892 --> 00:09:22.197
I've become their clients and learned a lot and made a lot of money.
00:09:22.577 --> 00:09:23.961
So it works in an inverse manner.
00:09:24.361 --> 00:09:27.889
So that's kind of how I got my first client and first interview as well.
00:09:28.769 --> 00:09:29.490
That's amazing.
00:09:29.711 --> 00:09:30.432
What a great story.
00:09:30.451 --> 00:09:36.399
And what a great inspiration for people that might not know what the next steps are.
00:09:36.418 --> 00:09:44.828
I think what you shared there is a great way to start creating these relationships with the people that you want to be like and going into that.
00:09:44.869 --> 00:09:50.595
So how many podcasts in were you before you started implementing and starting to see success?
00:09:52.256 --> 00:09:54.500
So that's one of the things with me.
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:55.961
I don't wait for...
00:09:57.057 --> 00:09:58.659
This thing to happen to do that.
00:09:58.700 --> 00:10:02.285
I'm more like to get this results.
00:10:02.326 --> 00:10:06.091
For example, let's reverse engineer how a client actually makes a buying decision.
00:10:06.591 --> 00:10:11.320
If I want to sell was back in the day, that's what we were doing a funnel building service so called.
00:10:12.341 --> 00:10:15.206
I have to be in the place where people are actively talking about it.
00:10:15.682 --> 00:10:20.792
So I was looking into these groups where there are groups about one funnel of a challenge.
00:10:20.812 --> 00:10:23.235
So they were just trying to build one funnel to take their business online.
00:10:23.255 --> 00:10:23.996
This is back in 2020.
00:10:24.798 --> 00:10:27.825
And the same principles will apply even right now, 2025 and beyond.
00:10:28.225 --> 00:10:32.994
Find communities where people are actively talking about building the solution that you can build.
00:10:33.654 --> 00:10:35.379
And then just go and showcase your expertise.
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:36.880
So I went in there.
00:10:37.378 --> 00:10:38.480
I've added a lot of value.
00:10:38.700 --> 00:10:41.884
I've shared my views and experiences on how funnels could be done better.
00:10:41.924 --> 00:10:43.807
There was no chat GPD back then.
00:10:43.847 --> 00:10:46.351
So you really have to be good at the skill to be able to advise
00:10:46.432 --> 00:10:47.173
and make a decision.
00:10:47.192 --> 00:10:47.273
I've
00:10:47.714 --> 00:10:49.515
read a lot of direct response marketing books.
00:10:49.576 --> 00:10:54.644
I've educated myself on digital marketing, funnel conversions, copywriting, offer creation.
00:10:55.365 --> 00:10:58.590
I've read all the dot-com secrets, expert secrets, traffic secret books.
00:10:58.690 --> 00:11:00.773
I was just going through a lot of self-education.
00:11:01.173 --> 00:11:03.957
Whatever I've learned, I've just shared those views in the communities.
00:11:04.379 --> 00:11:06.461
And people used to respond like, Nick, you sound smart.
00:11:06.625 --> 00:11:11.833
Then my Facebook banner used to say, if you would like it done for your funnel, built for your business, contact me.
00:11:12.234 --> 00:11:15.038
And everybody used to message me saying, yes, I would like you to build me my funnel.
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:16.841
So that's my lead generation strategy.
00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:18.323
I've spent$0 on marketing.
00:11:18.724 --> 00:11:20.287
I've made millions of dollars with that strategy.
00:11:20.366 --> 00:11:21.347
They just talk to me.
00:11:21.788 --> 00:11:24.974
And then all I have to do is take a consultative approach, saying what kind of funnel you want.
00:11:25.053 --> 00:11:26.635
Okay, I can build this in this much time.
00:11:27.136 --> 00:11:29.259
I don't like selling cheap products at a lower price.
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.346
I'm a big believer of charging the highest price possible and delivering the best resource.
00:11:34.227 --> 00:11:37.567
And many people start off with like, charging nothing in the upfront.
00:11:37.587 --> 00:11:41.073
And for exchange of case studies, I think that's a good way to build portfolio.
00:11:41.575 --> 00:11:44.941
But that's what I was doing to get this initial momentum.
00:11:45.522 --> 00:11:47.485
And it still works.
00:11:47.784 --> 00:11:48.726
People can still do that.
00:11:49.347 --> 00:11:50.168
That's the crazy part.
00:11:50.208 --> 00:11:51.171
You just have to do the work.
00:11:51.511 --> 00:11:52.874
It just takes a lot of time and effort.
00:11:53.193 --> 00:11:54.836
And you really have to be good at what you're doing.
00:11:55.357 --> 00:11:59.424
So learning that skill to be good and then showcasing it will absolutely crush it.
00:11:59.664 --> 00:12:02.230
And no other marketing strategy is better than that, in my opinion.
00:12:02.817 --> 00:12:03.639
Wow.
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:06.062
And so what was your first project like?
00:12:06.442 --> 00:12:16.859
Because you're going into this pretty fresh, you're entering into this community, into this funnel building way of doing things.
00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:18.500
What was your first project like?
00:12:19.142 --> 00:12:22.147
So you just attract what you're talking about.
00:12:22.287 --> 00:12:26.774
So I have had a little experience before I did this funnel agency.
00:12:26.953 --> 00:12:30.519
I've had a small scale affiliate marketing business.
00:12:30.580 --> 00:12:31.922
That's one of the things people mistake.
00:12:32.354 --> 00:12:39.804
I've done several businesses that got me little, little smaller skill sets that stacked up to be a bigger skill set.
00:12:39.825 --> 00:12:46.014
So when I was about to launch my agency, I've already gone through the pain of building and failing small businesses, but I've learned a lot.
00:12:46.595 --> 00:12:47.756
So we don't have to discount that.
00:12:48.197 --> 00:12:56.470
So I was talking about how I built an e-book funnel that got me several hundred customers for an affiliate product for weight loss.
00:12:57.250 --> 00:13:00.899
And when I posted that story, one guy was like, can you build an e-book funnel for me?
00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:02.461
So I was like, cool.
00:13:02.962 --> 00:13:05.769
And he paid me, I think, a couple hundred bucks to build that.
00:13:06.171 --> 00:13:13.467
But then my pricing jumped down to 500 and 800, 1200, 1500, 3000, 5000, 10,000.
00:13:14.466 --> 00:13:15.667
20,000, 30,000.
00:13:15.746 --> 00:13:18.909
Now we have done six figure projects multiple, multiple times.
00:13:19.211 --> 00:13:20.371
So like it just compounds.
00:13:20.491 --> 00:13:21.993
And again, you got to deliver results.
00:13:22.433 --> 00:13:26.557
Once they actually build that funnel, you give suggestions on how they can make money out of it.
00:13:26.577 --> 00:13:29.620
So they go and tell more people about you that you made them a funnel.
00:13:29.660 --> 00:13:30.442
They made money with it.
00:13:30.902 --> 00:13:31.562
That's all matters.
00:13:31.942 --> 00:13:37.808
If you look at our results page, it's hundreds of people just screaming, you know, saying, Hey, I've made money with Nick.
00:13:38.109 --> 00:13:39.029
Cause that's what people want.
00:13:39.070 --> 00:13:43.547
They just want to see that if somebody can deliver, because everybody can promise that It's hard to deliver.
00:13:43.567 --> 00:13:47.090
The only reason we are successful is we deliver what we promise.
00:13:48.171 --> 00:13:59.101
So with you starting in the middle of COVID in 2020, now we're in 2025, how do you see that funnel building has changed?
00:13:59.162 --> 00:14:00.244
Has it evolved at all?
00:14:00.943 --> 00:14:05.589
Because in 2020, it was a very different time for everybody.
00:14:05.609 --> 00:14:11.606
And so the things that worked then, I would imagine that they don't work the same now?
00:14:11.746 --> 00:14:13.068
How have you seen things change?
00:14:13.970 --> 00:14:16.474
Yeah, there's a lot changing, actually speaking.
00:14:17.414 --> 00:14:22.822
Earlier, it used to be a skill of technique that only few people can actually do.
00:14:22.883 --> 00:14:28.791
There were maybe a dozen people in the world I would compare myself and my company's skill set with.
00:14:29.270 --> 00:14:32.034
But right now, it's commoditized, especially with AI.
00:14:32.216 --> 00:14:38.543
And now, Chad GPD can write the best copy in the world, arguably.
00:14:38.563 --> 00:14:44.211
Again, not trying to mess with copywriters here, but then it can write really, really good copy.
00:14:44.250 --> 00:14:51.192
I mean, as a person who have funnel hacked thousands, if not tens of thousands of websites and funnels, I know it's doing a decent job.
00:14:51.693 --> 00:14:56.993
And so building a funnel, is a technical skillset, but now it's commoditized.
00:14:57.033 --> 00:15:04.302
Like you could go into a lovable, you could go into like any type of website building platform and it's called vibe coding.
00:15:04.363 --> 00:15:06.905
And now it's, there's a new term called vibe marketing.
00:15:06.946 --> 00:15:10.250
You just tell the AI agent what needs to be done and it does it for you.
00:15:10.630 --> 00:15:13.754
So you can ask it to build a website and funnel, it will basically build it for you.
00:15:13.794 --> 00:15:15.397
It's not the same anymore.
00:15:15.417 --> 00:15:20.700
And many people who used to sell services They're struggling right now.
00:15:20.820 --> 00:15:24.544
And I'm seeing this because the small business owner can just type and build a website.
00:15:24.565 --> 00:15:26.067
They don't need an agency anymore.
00:15:26.106 --> 00:15:27.229
But here is what you're missing.
00:15:28.190 --> 00:15:30.453
Nobody will never say no to more money.
00:15:31.053 --> 00:15:36.221
So instead of selling services, if you sell outcomes to people, people still buy.
00:15:36.763 --> 00:15:50.732
So if I go into a business who is already generating$6 million a year in revenue, but I spot few issues that could be adding additional$700,000 a year, they will be willing to pay$100,000 for that project.
00:15:51.514 --> 00:15:54.943
People always think efficiency, speed, and outcomes.
00:15:55.225 --> 00:15:58.432
So if you sell those three things, you cannot lose.
00:15:58.913 --> 00:16:02.859
But if you sell the other way around, meaning, oh, I'm good at website designing.
00:16:02.918 --> 00:16:04.559
I'll build the best website in the world.
00:16:05.041 --> 00:16:05.761
No one cares.
00:16:05.961 --> 00:16:08.105
It's a commodity like AI can build websites.
00:16:10.326 --> 00:16:13.850
So I believe it's changed a lot and it is going to continue to change.
00:16:14.211 --> 00:16:20.759
Why marketing is going to take over and people like business owners can just talk to AI and it will build a marketing campaign.
00:16:21.038 --> 00:16:23.422
So you got to be smart in not just marketing.
00:16:23.618 --> 00:16:31.660
delivering a service, but you need to evolve your services into a situation where you're delivering outcomes and that's what you're promoting as a business as well.
00:16:31.681 --> 00:16:35.150
And that's when I believe you can use AI and amplify your business.
00:16:35.171 --> 00:16:37.618
You can't go against it, transparently speaking.
00:16:38.690 --> 00:16:39.770
Wow, that's so good.
00:16:39.831 --> 00:16:40.552
That's so good.
00:16:40.572 --> 00:16:54.030
A lot of head smacks there for somebody listening about, you know, what's going to help them go to the next level, especially if they're a service provider and how to evolve and not become extinct.
00:16:54.491 --> 00:17:02.722
And so, you know, as you've created, you know, as we shared in the beginning, you know, you've had half a billion dollars in results for clients.
00:17:03.764 --> 00:17:12.020
You know, what are some of the things that you've found interesting you know, outcomes, you know, that generate these outcomes.
00:17:12.101 --> 00:17:15.991
What are some of the things that you've seen that people are doing wrong?
00:17:16.473 --> 00:17:17.958
And how are you fixing that?
00:17:17.998 --> 00:17:19.020
Or how are you making that better?
00:17:19.617 --> 00:17:19.857
Sure.
00:17:20.159 --> 00:17:21.099
I love that question.
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:22.760
There is two parts to this question.
00:17:23.041 --> 00:17:28.708
One, I can answer it from the perspective of an agency going into a business and making the business successful.
00:17:29.167 --> 00:17:35.815
The other is actually looking at the business perspective and fixing what's happening at the business level to make them grow.
00:17:36.195 --> 00:17:37.938
I try to take the two-part approach.
00:17:38.377 --> 00:17:41.421
So starting with, I like working with winners.
00:17:42.342 --> 00:17:44.104
I only have a limited amount of time.
00:17:44.464 --> 00:17:45.204
That's just the truth.
00:17:45.405 --> 00:17:47.327
That's the biggest asset I have.
00:17:47.688 --> 00:17:49.390
And I choose to spend it with smart people.
00:17:49.826 --> 00:17:53.789
Like I'm very, like I just cannot deal with like dumb people.
00:17:53.890 --> 00:17:54.830
That's just not my thing.
00:17:55.511 --> 00:18:00.856
I cannot deal with people who are not competent, people who don't take their life and business seriously.
00:18:01.356 --> 00:18:05.480
So people who do take their business seriously have already built successful businesses.
00:18:05.520 --> 00:18:07.663
That's the good thing about the life and the world.
00:18:08.064 --> 00:18:14.730
So I like to go to winners and have a conversation with them saying, hey, you're already winning, but this is the opportunity.
00:18:15.131 --> 00:18:17.153
There's a lot which is being lost on the table.
00:18:17.712 --> 00:18:18.574
Can I help you fix it?
00:18:18.786 --> 00:18:19.949
And guess what a winner is going to do?
00:18:20.569 --> 00:18:26.221
They always say yes for opportunities which can increase their revenue, their profits, and help them hit their business goals.
00:18:26.742 --> 00:18:32.035
The other way around, most agencies try to go after every solopreneur.
00:18:32.075 --> 00:18:38.710
Hey, I'm passionate about helping solopreneurs who don't have a business and help them generate leads.
00:18:39.682 --> 00:18:40.502
What are you talking about?
00:18:40.522 --> 00:18:41.404
They don't have a business.
00:18:41.525 --> 00:18:42.926
They don't need no leads.
00:18:43.448 --> 00:18:45.290
Even if you generate leads, they don't know sales.
00:18:45.672 --> 00:18:47.535
Even if they know sales, they don't have a product.
00:18:47.915 --> 00:18:51.161
Even if they can deliver, they can't ask for referrals and they can't retain.
00:18:51.961 --> 00:18:52.864
So what?
00:18:53.263 --> 00:18:55.167
They don't even take their life seriously.
00:18:55.228 --> 00:18:56.249
Why are you trying to help them?
00:18:57.191 --> 00:19:05.084
That's why most businesses are struggling because they are trying to serve anybody and everybody who has a breath and a credit card.
00:19:05.644 --> 00:19:06.346
I'm the opposite.
00:19:06.625 --> 00:19:08.307
I have a qualification criteria.
00:19:08.708 --> 00:19:11.692
Like this guy needs to be making a million dollars a year.
00:19:11.771 --> 00:19:18.179
He needs to have$300,000 a year marketing budget and he needs to have a product that is scalable and he needs to have a good reputation.
00:19:18.219 --> 00:19:20.340
He cannot mess with his client success.
00:19:20.422 --> 00:19:21.803
Like I only work with good businesses.
00:19:22.263 --> 00:19:25.047
So I like all of this checkbox makes sense.
00:19:25.748 --> 00:19:26.808
Only then I'm talking to them.
00:19:27.308 --> 00:19:28.029
So what do I have?
00:19:28.611 --> 00:19:29.771
I have freedom of time.
00:19:30.393 --> 00:19:35.038
So I'm not just anxious about getting clients because I exactly know who I want to serve.
00:19:35.201 --> 00:19:36.963
I either attract or I chill.
00:19:37.625 --> 00:19:39.047
I'm not stressed anymore.
00:19:39.647 --> 00:19:41.849
Because I'm not trying to make every nickel and dime online.
00:19:42.151 --> 00:19:43.192
That's the first piece of it.
00:19:43.512 --> 00:19:46.316
Then the next piece of it for the businesses who actually want to grow.
00:19:46.355 --> 00:19:52.423
If you're a solopreneur or entrepreneur listening to this podcast, you need to get clear on who you're serving.
00:19:52.463 --> 00:19:59.192
Just like how I mentioned from an agency perspective, how I am clear about who I'm serving so I know that I can deliver the best success.
00:19:59.833 --> 00:20:01.776
You need to know that who is the best client.
00:20:01.915 --> 00:20:03.458
A small exercise for anybody listening.
00:20:04.385 --> 00:20:10.675
You might be assuming, this is again emotion speaking, oh, my best clients could be this guy, that guy.
00:20:10.695 --> 00:20:11.498
You just get emotional.
00:20:11.817 --> 00:20:12.199
Sit down.
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:13.981
Go into your merchant processor.
00:20:14.863 --> 00:20:17.086
Take out your last five years history of business.
00:20:17.788 --> 00:20:24.358
See your top customers and see what industries they are coming from, what type of traffic source they came from.
00:20:24.419 --> 00:20:27.243
Is it organic, networking events, paid ads, cold email?
00:20:27.503 --> 00:20:28.586
Think about that for a second.
00:20:29.007 --> 00:20:37.371
Just map out who's been the best client who took the least amount of time, made with the most amount of profit, the easiest to work with, gave you the most amount of referrals.
00:20:37.951 --> 00:20:38.932
That's it, those four things.
00:20:39.054 --> 00:20:42.419
If you track that down, you know who's your best client.
00:20:43.099 --> 00:20:45.324
And then just strictly say no to everybody else.
00:20:46.265 --> 00:20:53.517
Yeah, somebody came to you, they're trying to pay you, have the discipline to say, Maybe, but this is my client.
00:20:53.557 --> 00:20:56.801
Like I work best with these people and that's my marketing.
00:20:56.862 --> 00:20:57.943
That's what my website says.
00:20:57.963 --> 00:20:59.385
That's what my social media says.
00:20:59.727 --> 00:21:00.989
That's what I'm making content for.
00:21:01.028 --> 00:21:02.171
That's what I send emails to.
00:21:02.551 --> 00:21:04.355
That is the only type of events I go to.
00:21:04.855 --> 00:21:08.421
Then your life becomes 99% easier because you're playing on easy mode.
00:21:08.441 --> 00:21:13.869
You're going after one client who's the easiest to work with, makes the most amount of money, gets you the most amount of referrals.
00:21:14.612 --> 00:21:15.854
And he's a big fan of you.
00:21:16.734 --> 00:21:18.157
Double down and see the difference.
00:21:18.625 --> 00:21:21.671
No more fulfillment issues because you productize your services.
00:21:22.192 --> 00:21:23.574
Everybody needs the same solution.
00:21:23.614 --> 00:21:24.674
You just have to replicate it.
00:21:25.676 --> 00:21:29.282
You don't have to recreate your solution overnight every time you get a new client.
00:21:30.304 --> 00:21:33.148
And it just becomes life is on easy mode from there.
00:21:33.169 --> 00:21:35.972
So just if you're a business owner, that's the clarity you need to get.
00:21:36.354 --> 00:21:48.448
For example, one of our clients we have done a lot of revenue with, which has got clear that they work best with tax professionals, you know, who are actually having clients that are worth at least$5 million in a book.
00:21:48.587 --> 00:21:53.574
So once you get a clarity, your marketing shifts, your message, your offer shifts.
00:21:53.733 --> 00:21:56.537
It radically hits on the nail, right?
00:21:56.577 --> 00:21:58.500
The head in the nail, right?
00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:00.342
Sorry, the nail in the head.
00:22:01.303 --> 00:22:01.703
The nail on the head.
00:22:01.723 --> 00:22:01.963
Yeah, exactly.
00:22:01.983 --> 00:22:03.465
So that's what you need to find.
00:22:03.506 --> 00:22:08.030
Like one offer, you know, on one client, every niche can make a million dollars.
00:22:08.992 --> 00:22:10.835
Every niche, every product, every service.
00:22:11.496 --> 00:22:13.218
Here's what the caveat is.
00:22:14.049 --> 00:22:17.577
don't try to catch two rabbits at a time because you will end up catching none.
00:22:18.038 --> 00:22:24.794
But if you try to catch the one, like, and if you just really try hard enough and you're not giving up, you'll get it.
00:22:24.894 --> 00:22:26.336
Like the rabbit will give up.
00:22:26.478 --> 00:22:30.205
Like, you know, if you're just running after it, it's got to stop somewhere, you know?
00:22:30.625 --> 00:22:31.366
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:31.708 --> 00:22:32.868
Wow, that is so good.
00:22:32.909 --> 00:22:33.990
So much richness in there.
00:22:34.432 --> 00:22:40.641
And so when did this decision to only serve clients who have made a million a year?
00:22:40.661 --> 00:22:49.153
Because I think that's a really good way to look at businesses is proven product, proven success helps you go to the next level.
00:22:49.694 --> 00:22:51.597
But you probably didn't start there.
00:22:51.617 --> 00:22:59.569
I'm sure you helped others and then realized that you were helping people that hadn't proven the product in the marketplace, right?
00:23:00.097 --> 00:23:00.397
Correct.
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:01.779
Yeah, I love that question.
00:23:01.901 --> 00:23:04.884
And it's literally just following the same exercise I've just mentioned.
00:23:04.984 --> 00:23:05.766
What do I mean by that?
00:23:06.748 --> 00:23:13.616
When I came into funnel building as a service, there were thousands of agencies who started at the same time.
00:23:14.238 --> 00:23:16.961
And guess, maybe 1% of them made$2 million.
00:23:17.021 --> 00:23:20.708
And maybe 1 10th of them are still actively doing it.
00:23:21.327 --> 00:23:25.153
So focus is key here, you got to be very focused on what problem you're trying to solve.
00:23:25.665 --> 00:23:30.291
And right now we are more of a marketing partner who can scale companies.
00:23:32.013 --> 00:23:38.181
Coming back to your original question, I have delivered all types of services.
00:23:38.501 --> 00:23:48.753
I've built e-comm funnels, course funnels, challenge funnels, webinar funnel, call booking funnels, e-book funnels, lead gen funnels, like every funnel in the world, we have built it.
00:23:49.355 --> 00:23:55.241
But then I've realized who's been making the most amount of money and who's having the highest amount of success.
00:23:55.938 --> 00:24:21.284
oh it's the people who are building application funnels why because when you get on a phone call you can easily close them for a higher ticket so hence they can spend more money on ads and funnel without ads is just a dead page like nobody's looking at it just based on money to build it and whatnot so i was like okay that's the area i can shine then i've only built application funnels, like call booking funnels.
00:24:21.884 --> 00:24:23.306
Then I built it for several niches.
00:24:23.326 --> 00:24:24.886
I built it for real estate agents.
00:24:25.367 --> 00:24:27.148
I built it for real estate investment firms.
00:24:27.569 --> 00:24:28.971
I built it for weight loss companies.
00:24:29.050 --> 00:24:33.174
I built it for coaching programs, service providers, different consulting firms, cybersecurity, whatnot.
00:24:34.517 --> 00:24:35.597
Wide range of businesses.
00:24:36.137 --> 00:24:43.865
Then I was like, hmm, who's making the most money, the happiest, referring me more clients and I can easily fulfill?
00:24:43.885 --> 00:24:44.826
It's a productized solution.
00:24:45.508 --> 00:24:56.009
Then it came down to, instead of just going after everybody, If we just focus on syndication firms, real estate firms that are trying to raise money, that would be a good fit because they are the easiest.
00:24:56.229 --> 00:24:58.570
I can just build one funnel over and over and over.
00:24:58.592 --> 00:24:59.833
I don't have to recreate anything.
00:25:00.313 --> 00:25:03.175
It takes me a couple of hours to customize it with my team support.
00:25:03.715 --> 00:25:04.998
I'm like, that's marketing.
00:25:05.077 --> 00:25:06.259
That's the person I can go after.
00:25:06.298 --> 00:25:09.962
And again, my thing is I have limited amount of time.
00:25:09.982 --> 00:25:13.365
I'm only going to stay on this planet for some time.
00:25:14.067 --> 00:25:17.410
So I'm super time conscious on like, I have this limited time.
00:25:17.890 --> 00:25:20.792
How can I make the most and keep my client the most happy?
00:25:22.134 --> 00:25:26.839
So it came down to people who have bigger pockets and can spend large marketing budgets.
00:25:26.941 --> 00:25:29.022
So it was syndication firms, which is double down on that.
00:25:29.423 --> 00:25:30.944
So you have to serve a bunch of people.
00:25:31.465 --> 00:25:36.050
So who is serving you well back and double down on that, if you ask me, in simple terms.
00:25:36.171 --> 00:25:37.212
And that's just an exercise.
00:25:37.573 --> 00:25:38.193
But here's the thing.
00:25:38.233 --> 00:25:41.917
The discipline of saying no is where it starts.
00:25:42.145 --> 00:25:47.954
There's gotta be this guy who comes with a$10,000 check and says, can you just build me one e-commerce funnel?
00:25:48.295 --> 00:25:49.537
No, I don't.
00:25:50.439 --> 00:25:51.180
That's the discipline.
00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:57.269
The willingness to say no here is what is going to get a lot more yeses in the type of clients you want to attract.
00:25:57.750 --> 00:26:07.805
Because once you get this e-commerce client who is not in your playbook of fulfillment, who is not the best zone of expertise, he takes 10 times more effort to fulfill and won't get the result and will be pissed off.
00:26:08.125 --> 00:26:09.667
So now you're dealing with all your headache.
00:26:09.948 --> 00:26:15.066
But if you use the same time, you would have got five more clients who would have paid you 30K each.
00:26:15.865 --> 00:26:22.953
That would have been a$150,000 value of your time, but you just wasted it with some guy because you were desperate for money.
00:26:23.494 --> 00:26:27.398
So you got to be playing your cards right when you're picking your client.
00:26:27.739 --> 00:26:31.604
I mean, the quality of the client you pick will determine the quality of your life.
00:26:33.445 --> 00:26:33.625
Wow.
00:26:34.205 --> 00:26:40.712
That's true for your partner, typically, but I believe as an agency, as a service provider, it's true for your business as well.
00:26:41.346 --> 00:26:42.769
That's the mantra I've been following.
00:26:43.990 --> 00:26:44.952
That is so amazing.
00:26:45.073 --> 00:26:48.178
And so you had mentioned several different types of funnels.
00:26:48.219 --> 00:26:51.423
You mentioned the application funnel was one that really worked.
00:26:52.486 --> 00:26:58.056
Just to clarify on what an application funnel is, it's basically, I mean, I'll let you explain.
00:26:58.116 --> 00:27:02.924
What is the application funnel for those that might not have heard that phrase before?
00:27:03.246 --> 00:27:03.326
Sure.
00:27:03.809 --> 00:27:19.307
So when you look at the marketing bros out there, the most people who teach you marketing, they teach you the concept of value ladders, having front end offers, upsells, downsells, mid ticket, then high ticket, then your ultra high ticket, all of this, right?
00:27:20.167 --> 00:27:22.309
I like what I call an inversion funnel.
00:27:22.410 --> 00:27:24.011
The funnel is usually like this, right?
00:27:24.031 --> 00:27:30.078
Like you have the top of the funnel in the top, you get attract a lot of people, then the bottom of the funnel is where you have your high paying clients.
00:27:30.479 --> 00:27:32.942
The problem is advertising is expensive.
00:27:33.346 --> 00:27:35.448
Like when you spend money on ads, you will realize this.
00:27:35.628 --> 00:27:40.213
And the reality is 90% of businesses don't even advertise, which boggles my mind.
00:27:40.294 --> 00:27:41.635
I'm like, why in the world?
00:27:41.675 --> 00:27:42.656
Like, why am I living?
00:27:42.717 --> 00:27:43.657
Like, I don't get it.
00:27:44.018 --> 00:27:48.703
So if you're active, you're running a business, just tell people that you are actually existing and you actually help.
00:27:49.183 --> 00:27:53.269
Anyway, not distracting myself, but the goal is people teach this.
00:27:53.548 --> 00:27:55.672
Top of the funnel, bottom of the funnel, get high paying clients.
00:27:56.172 --> 00:27:57.413
I like the inversion funnel.
00:27:58.114 --> 00:28:00.978
you need to attract the highest paying client possible first.
00:28:01.298 --> 00:28:02.480
Advertising is expensive.
00:28:02.779 --> 00:28:14.496
Let's say if you have a$10,000 marketing budget and you're spending it on your free ebook funnel, for example, you might get a couple hundred leads, but they are all free leads and they might not be qualified.
00:28:14.536 --> 00:28:17.359
They are not exactly the type of person you want to work with.
00:28:17.859 --> 00:28:22.246
So you just spend$10,000, you got a bunch of emails, but nobody paid you$10,000 back.
00:28:22.266 --> 00:28:22.807
So guess what?
00:28:23.207 --> 00:28:24.128
You cannot do this again.
00:28:25.230 --> 00:28:27.834
On the opposite direction, if you have a...
00:28:28.897 --> 00:28:44.663
$10,000 service and you have a$10,000 marketing budget, but you use the inversion funnel, you attract the best client possible, you spend all that$10,000 into attracting the best person, meaning your marketing literally says, hey, million dollar business owner, would you like to make an additional$100,000 profit?
00:28:45.144 --> 00:28:47.728
I can help you using my inversion funnel mechanism.
00:28:48.147 --> 00:28:52.134
Come, I'll map out how we can implement this into your business in next 30 minutes.
00:28:52.414 --> 00:28:53.636
It's a live call with you and me.
00:28:53.696 --> 00:28:54.498
Why would you talk to me?
00:28:54.858 --> 00:28:56.682
I've done half a billion for my clients.
00:28:57.250 --> 00:28:58.271
Here is my credibility.
00:28:58.751 --> 00:29:01.696
And this is a no BS implementation strategy call.
00:29:01.717 --> 00:29:02.417
I'll walk you through.
00:29:02.438 --> 00:29:03.378
I'll give you the game plan.
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:06.123
You can decide if you'd like to do this by yourself or do it with me.
00:29:07.085 --> 00:29:07.746
No obligations.
00:29:08.826 --> 00:29:13.875
No, everybody else who is not a million dollar business owners who don't want to make an extra 100K, they won't listen to that pitch.
00:29:14.796 --> 00:29:17.359
Right, right.
00:29:18.561 --> 00:29:27.194
where you laser target your client pain points on your target and you ideally want to talk about their niche, their revenue, their pain points and what you exactly solve it, attract them.
00:29:27.816 --> 00:29:36.829
Now, I don't have much risk because if I, in advertising, you pay for CPMs, you basically show, you pay for showing your ad to people.
00:29:37.390 --> 00:29:39.534
Why do you want to show ad to everybody in the world?
00:29:39.894 --> 00:29:42.577
It's the most expensive thing to do and you don't get your customers back.
00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:53.630
But if you show it to the most qualified clients, so Facebook will try to show that ad any other ad platform, by the way, not just Facebook, will show it to the client you are trying to attract in your ad.
00:29:54.050 --> 00:30:00.038
So the right client will come in,$10,000 worth of advertising spend can get you hundreds of thousands of views.
00:30:01.801 --> 00:30:04.826
And if possible, if you've done it right, 500 plus clicks.
00:30:05.307 --> 00:30:10.114
So if you get 500 clicks, 20% of them convert into leads, 100 leads.
00:30:10.515 --> 00:30:15.682
And if you walk those leads from 100 leads, even if you close one$10,000 customer, you just made your money back.
00:30:16.066 --> 00:30:22.757
So the inversion funnel gives you the most predictable revenue source to get your advertising budget back.
00:30:22.777 --> 00:30:24.259
This funnel, you lose money.
00:30:24.420 --> 00:30:25.942
This funnel, you make money first.
00:30:26.323 --> 00:30:28.507
Then you use that money to continuously advertise.
00:30:28.787 --> 00:30:31.432
And the best part is you can always downsell people.
00:30:31.592 --> 00:30:34.938
So if I get 100 leads, maybe the three of them will pay me 10K.
00:30:35.337 --> 00:30:37.962
So I spent 10K, I made 30K back.
00:30:38.343 --> 00:30:45.375
Then the 97 leads, I can still, as per the inversion funnel, downsell them into my mid-ticket program, sell them my low-ticket coaching.
00:30:45.615 --> 00:30:48.040
Whatever other offers I have, I can always downsell them.
00:30:48.682 --> 00:30:49.182
But guess what?
00:30:49.784 --> 00:30:56.136
If I get a free lead for 15 bucks, I can't ask him to pay for my 10K program on an email.
00:30:56.458 --> 00:30:57.098
That just doesn't...
00:30:57.419 --> 00:30:58.461
People just don't buy like that.
00:30:58.962 --> 00:31:01.807
So that's one of the reasons why I use application funnels.
00:31:02.088 --> 00:31:02.549
There is, again...
00:31:03.233 --> 00:31:09.119
A little more nuance to it, we use a lot of AI, hybrid application funnels, a lot of retargeting.
00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:11.423
People are a little skeptic at the moment.
00:31:11.462 --> 00:31:14.185
They don't just jump on a phone call and buy on the first call.
00:31:14.445 --> 00:31:17.409
But there is still techniques and systems and ways to do that.
00:31:18.069 --> 00:31:28.721
And that's what I call the cold to sold playbook, how you can convert a cold prospect who never know you into a multi-five-figure paying client in a short amount of time.
00:31:29.281 --> 00:31:30.925
They make decisions through data.
00:31:30.965 --> 00:31:37.082
So you need to create that data pattern and walk them through each of the step before they make a buying decision and jump on a call.
00:31:37.482 --> 00:31:39.027
So you have the least friction on the call.
00:31:39.207 --> 00:31:40.148
You're just taking orders.
00:31:40.577 --> 00:31:42.201
Yeah, man, that is so good.
00:31:42.280 --> 00:32:00.355
And so when we're talking about the evolution of even your business and creating funnels and helping people scale and all of that, was there a particular thing that took you to your first million or was it pretty broad in what took you to that first million?
00:32:00.394 --> 00:32:01.857
What was that path like?
00:32:02.721 --> 00:32:09.089
Because it's a pretty amazing path within five years going from broke student to multimillionaire.
00:32:09.130 --> 00:32:13.556
So I'm very fascinated by what that path to the first million look like.
00:32:14.175 --> 00:32:14.416
Sure.
00:32:14.537 --> 00:32:18.642
So I made my first million dollars, I think, in the first two years.
00:32:18.721 --> 00:32:24.910
So like in less than 24 months, being a brown kid, dropout, like English is my third language.
00:32:25.442 --> 00:32:26.943
I have accent problems.
00:32:27.064 --> 00:32:28.365
I have self-confidence issues.
00:32:28.464 --> 00:32:29.886
I'm coming from a third world country.
00:32:30.386 --> 00:32:32.630
So many minded beliefs like I have to overcome.
00:32:33.029 --> 00:32:37.454
Regardless, I made a million bucks in the first two years and many more millions after that.
00:32:37.816 --> 00:32:43.182
So long story short, the biggest contributor was my pricing.
00:32:44.022 --> 00:32:45.743
People mispriced themselves a lot.
00:32:46.625 --> 00:32:50.169
They are trying to be competitive with pricing.
00:32:50.849 --> 00:32:54.114
They want to sell commoditized solution at a cheaper price.
00:32:54.753 --> 00:32:59.200
And the reality is there is no advantage of being the second cheapest guy on the block.
00:33:01.683 --> 00:33:03.306
They will just go to the first cheapest guy.
00:33:03.346 --> 00:33:12.398
And there is always some Bangladeshi guy, again, nothing against Bangladesh, but there is always lower economy countries who can afford to deliver the same service at a lower price.
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:14.942
So I realized I can't play the price game.
00:33:15.344 --> 00:33:16.625
I don't want to be the cheapest guy.
00:33:16.665 --> 00:33:20.855
And then you're just dealing with a bunch of bad clients.
00:33:20.934 --> 00:33:21.675
I don't want that.
00:33:21.836 --> 00:33:23.057
I want to be the opposite side.
00:33:23.117 --> 00:33:24.819
And I like the Ferrari method.
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:25.641
That's what I call it.
00:33:26.040 --> 00:33:28.324
You position your solution as a Ferrari solution.
00:33:28.384 --> 00:33:35.113
It's a premium custom solution according to somebody's problem they're trying to solve that actually delivers an outcome as a brand.
00:33:35.732 --> 00:33:36.453
That's the difference.
00:33:36.894 --> 00:33:37.935
You're not an agency.
00:33:37.996 --> 00:33:39.137
You're not a service provider.
00:33:39.157 --> 00:33:40.019
You're not a commodity.
00:33:40.638 --> 00:33:46.097
And yes, you can, you know, put a chassis and put four wheels, but that doesn't become Ferrari.
00:33:46.298 --> 00:33:50.585
If you want to buy a Ferrari, you have to go to the Ferrari shop and you have to be qualified.
00:33:50.605 --> 00:33:54.351
They will qualify you and they will only, they will not even let you buy.
00:33:54.491 --> 00:33:58.438
Like, first of all, you got to be in a waiting room, you got to put a deposit, you got to wait.
00:33:58.858 --> 00:34:00.862
That's the type of experience I like to create.
00:34:00.902 --> 00:34:04.607
And I'll give you a quick story so you get some context.
00:34:05.648 --> 00:34:27.177
So I was this kid selling funnels for$1,500 and just, living the best time of my life as a 19-year-old guy, making$1,500 in India for a client, and if I get 10 of them that's making$15,000 in the first few months of my business, I'm like the king in a terrible price.
00:34:27.197 --> 00:34:28.378
$15,000 takes you so far.
00:34:28.539 --> 00:34:33.606
Even if you're living in LA, you can have a decent lifestyle, but imagine living in India and making that kind of money.
00:34:34.507 --> 00:34:35.867
What was the average salary then?
00:34:37.505 --> 00:34:41.130
My average friend is broke or in jail or died.
00:34:41.490 --> 00:34:45.534
But anyway, the average salary in India is like 300 bucks a month or something.
00:34:45.856 --> 00:34:46.215
Wow.
00:34:46.275 --> 00:34:46.797
Yeah.
00:34:47.197 --> 00:34:48.418
So like, think about that.
00:34:48.478 --> 00:34:52.543
Like the income level, like it's just God level, you know, type of.
00:34:52.583 --> 00:34:55.226
So I was like, I was just in this bubble in my own mind.
00:34:55.586 --> 00:34:56.128
I'm the king.
00:34:56.168 --> 00:34:58.190
I just figured it out.
00:34:59.190 --> 00:34:59.791
But here's the thing.
00:35:00.693 --> 00:35:03.597
If you change your circle, you get real perspectives.
00:35:04.277 --> 00:35:09.710
So, I was just comparing myself to the people I was hanging out with because I was just in the first few months of my business.
00:35:10.331 --> 00:35:12.594
But then I was like, I need to take it to the next level.
00:35:12.614 --> 00:35:14.177
Let me talk to people who are actually doing it.
00:35:14.518 --> 00:35:16.681
Then I've got a bunch of mentors in the eight figure level.
00:35:18.003 --> 00:35:24.454
Then I'm flexing how I'm charging$1,500 per client and how I'm getting dozens of them every month and making 20, 30, 50 grand a month.
00:35:25.036 --> 00:35:28.302
Then they were like, Nick, what kind of results are your clients getting?
00:35:28.621 --> 00:35:30.565
And I've shown them like, here's how much money they're making.
00:35:31.425 --> 00:35:32.947
Nick, what are you doing for them?
00:35:33.128 --> 00:35:34.268
What exactly is your service?
00:35:34.329 --> 00:35:36.510
Then I've walked them through my service, what I'm all doing.
00:35:37.632 --> 00:35:45.219
Then I clearly remember one of my mentor was like, Nick, if we do the same thing, we charge$50,000, by the way.
00:35:46.481 --> 00:35:48.282
Then I was like, what?
00:35:49.003 --> 00:35:52.106
You charge 33 times more for the same thing I'm doing?
00:35:52.806 --> 00:35:54.708
I'm thinking I'm cooking.
00:35:54.809 --> 00:35:56.550
I thought I'm making$50,000.
00:35:56.630 --> 00:35:57.791
This is insane.
00:35:58.152 --> 00:35:59.974
But you do the same thing, but you charge$50,000.
00:36:00.641 --> 00:36:01.422
And here's the good thing.
00:36:01.463 --> 00:36:04.065
When you invest in right mentors, again, there's a lot of bad apples.
00:36:04.105 --> 00:36:07.748
You know, there's a lot of people who pretend to be doing a thing who don't have real jam.
00:36:08.228 --> 00:36:11.012
There's right people who are doing it and who know their, you know, stuff.
00:36:11.731 --> 00:36:12.112
Right,
00:36:12.172 --> 00:36:12.393
right.
00:36:12.652 --> 00:36:14.054
He really put me against the wall.
00:36:14.215 --> 00:36:16.496
He said, Nick, show me your calendar.
00:36:16.556 --> 00:36:17.677
What's the next appointment you have?
00:36:17.938 --> 00:36:18.177
Okay.
00:36:18.458 --> 00:36:21.181
You got John Thursday, you know, 2 p.m.
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:21.601
Eastern.
00:36:22.101 --> 00:36:22.963
This is what you're going to do.
00:36:23.543 --> 00:36:24.985
You're going to quote him 15K.
00:36:26.405 --> 00:36:26.806
I was like, what?
00:36:27.146 --> 00:36:27.807
No, no way.
00:36:27.927 --> 00:36:27.987
Wow.
00:36:28.027 --> 00:36:30.309
I don't think so.
00:36:30.753 --> 00:36:31.996
But here's the good thing with mentors.
00:36:32.155 --> 00:36:33.217
You just hold me accountable.
00:36:33.677 --> 00:36:34.679
Here's the new way.
00:36:34.900 --> 00:36:40.106
You're not going to go after the easiest Indian guy and the prize friendly.
00:36:40.186 --> 00:36:41.548
No, you're going to go the opposite.
00:36:41.628 --> 00:36:43.652
You're going to lead with value and results.
00:36:44.092 --> 00:36:46.755
And here's how you pitch and you're pitching for 15K.
00:36:47.297 --> 00:36:47.998
And here's the caveat.
00:36:48.057 --> 00:36:50.762
I just paid for this expensive mastermind.
00:36:51.362 --> 00:36:54.327
And he was like, if you don't do this, I'm going to kick you out.
00:36:55.568 --> 00:36:56.028
Oh, wow.
00:36:57.210 --> 00:36:57.831
Holy moly.
00:36:57.851 --> 00:36:58.932
This is what accountability is.
00:36:58.992 --> 00:37:01.440
Now you're like, Getting punched in the face if you don't do it.
00:37:01.860 --> 00:37:02.762
So I had another option.
00:37:02.782 --> 00:37:03.643
I have to record the call.
00:37:03.682 --> 00:37:04.644
I have to pitch 15K.
00:37:04.744 --> 00:37:05.164
And guess what?
00:37:06.005 --> 00:37:06.306
I've done...
00:37:06.347 --> 00:37:07.248
This is one thing with me.
00:37:07.748 --> 00:37:08.710
I just shut my brain.
00:37:08.750 --> 00:37:09.670
I put it in the freezer.
00:37:10.152 --> 00:37:12.034
When I know the winning playbook, I just do it.
00:37:12.114 --> 00:37:13.016
I don't question it.
00:37:13.056 --> 00:37:16.039
As long as I'm learning from the right person, I just follow the playbook.
00:37:16.561 --> 00:37:18.023
So I put my brain in the freezer.
00:37:18.043 --> 00:37:19.704
I just followed what my mentor said.
00:37:19.744 --> 00:37:24.351
And in the end of the sales call, he was like, Nick, how much do you charge?
00:37:25.492 --> 00:37:27.695
I was like, we charge$15,000.
00:37:27.936 --> 00:37:27.996
And...
00:37:29.601 --> 00:37:30.583
The other guy goes, okay.
00:37:31.523 --> 00:37:32.063
I was like, what?
00:37:34.085 --> 00:37:34.387
Wow.
00:37:35.788 --> 00:37:39.231
And I was like, I was happy, but I was scared at the same time.
00:37:39.692 --> 00:37:41.873
So because it was the biggest deal.
00:37:42.275 --> 00:37:45.438
This was back in 2020, by the way, we have done bigger deals.
00:37:45.518 --> 00:37:53.126
Like, you know, after that, like once that code cracked down, now my mind goes, Holy smokes.
00:37:53.485 --> 00:37:57.108
I'm just 200 clients away to make$3 million.
00:37:57.349 --> 00:37:57.630
Right.
00:37:58.369 --> 00:37:58.891
Think about that.
00:37:59.150 --> 00:38:03.934
If I just close 200 clients at 15K pop, I'm making$3 million.
00:38:03.996 --> 00:38:09.800
And again, if you make$3 million right in your business and you're smart enough, you're good if you do it right.
00:38:10.202 --> 00:38:11.842
So that just changed.
00:38:11.902 --> 00:38:13.144
That's the perspective I got.
00:38:13.184 --> 00:38:15.085
And from there, it just snowballed.
00:38:15.786 --> 00:38:26.697
Partnerships and being legit and delivering real results and being available for your clients and staying focused on your zone of expertise, that's what kept snowballing over a period of time.
00:38:27.746 --> 00:38:29.226
Wow, that is so amazing.
00:38:29.266 --> 00:38:30.068
What a great story.
00:38:30.507 --> 00:38:39.735
And so, you know, as you've been, you know, building, you know, all these funnels, and like we mentioned, you've made a half a billion for your clients, and you've made multiple millions yourself.
00:38:40.876 --> 00:38:48.184
There are some people that even when you use the language of funnels, for them, they still don't know exactly what those are.
00:38:49.144 --> 00:38:51.106
You know, they know what a website is.
00:38:51.626 --> 00:38:53.487
They might even know what a landing page is.
00:38:53.668 --> 00:38:56.251
But what are the funnels?
00:38:57.152 --> 00:39:17.184
Explain briefly what a funnel is and then also if you could share what are the funnels that you're finding now since you've built so many that are working best um out there because we've heard you know challenges we've heard you know webinars with you know like for you somebody that's down down in the dirt doing this stuff what have you found working and what are funnels
00:39:18.065 --> 00:39:23.949
sure that's an interesting question so there's no one funnel fits all type of situation.
00:39:23.969 --> 00:39:28.713
Depending on the business and the requirement and the type of clients you're trying to attract, the funnel needs to change.
00:39:29.454 --> 00:39:32.518
And we kind of follow a small process called funnel hacking.
00:39:32.858 --> 00:39:34.619
This is what Russell Brunson has pioneered.
00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:35.842
That's one of his strategies.
00:39:36.282 --> 00:39:41.507
So it's just like finding the winners in your market and just modeling it.
00:39:41.867 --> 00:39:48.094
Like if I would have to figure out everything from scratch, I would never make the amount of money I made by myself.
00:39:48.956 --> 00:39:52.271
All I have to do is shut my brain off Follow the winning playbook.
00:39:52.612 --> 00:39:59.739
So if I find a client, all I have to do is find their top competitors, see what funnels they're using, and just rebuild them in a better manner, in an effective manner.
00:40:00.219 --> 00:40:02.202
So coming back, that's kind of how I do it.
00:40:02.382 --> 00:40:04.465
So to find the best funnels that are working for your niche.
00:40:04.844 --> 00:40:08.849
So I can't just make a suggestion that, hey, this funnel works the best for your niche, because I don't know.
00:40:08.929 --> 00:40:15.597
You got to figure out who's your top competitors, what type of lead gen, what type of funnels they're using, and model that playbook.
00:40:16.478 --> 00:40:20.222
And don't feel ashamed of copying something that's working.
00:40:21.634 --> 00:40:25.619
Why would you like, you just use, you wake up and you use a toothbrush.
00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:26.920
You don't try to invent it every day.
00:40:27.322 --> 00:40:31.047
Like something is working, just copy it.
00:40:31.086 --> 00:40:32.668
Like there is nothing to be ashamed about.
00:40:32.688 --> 00:40:34.871
And this is a capitalistic world.
00:40:35.032 --> 00:40:38.956
You got to build solutions fast and you provide a lot of value and that's the winning playbook.
00:40:39.297 --> 00:40:40.278
So don't try to invent.
00:40:40.298 --> 00:40:42.501
I don't try to be creative as much.
00:40:43.182 --> 00:40:48.130
Every time you try to be creative, you're adding a lot of guessing variable if it's really successful or not.
00:40:48.641 --> 00:40:51.885
I don't like that variable because test anything, it costs a lot of money.
00:40:52.666 --> 00:40:55.210
So I like to put my brain in the freezer and follow the playbook.
00:40:55.289 --> 00:40:57.952
Now, the second part of the question is what is a funnel?
00:40:59.135 --> 00:41:10.307
A funnel is simply the most effective and systematic way you can convert somebody who don't know you into a high paying client and retain them.
00:41:11.028 --> 00:41:11.610
That's what it is.
00:41:12.010 --> 00:41:18.695
So it's a journey for your customer to go from, hey, I don't know if even if I want this to discovering the pain, right?
00:41:19.097 --> 00:41:27.753
And then finding your business, getting interested in it, trying to apply to work with you and buying from you and then becoming successful with it and then retaining and referring you.
00:41:27.934 --> 00:41:28.996
That's basically a funnel.
00:41:29.436 --> 00:41:32.503
Now with the typical websites, you just give a lot of call to action.
00:41:32.543 --> 00:41:33.846
You have jammy information.
00:41:34.547 --> 00:41:34.887
Guess what?
00:41:35.027 --> 00:41:37.934
We are already scrolling 15 second TikTok videos.
00:41:38.434 --> 00:41:39.655
50 of them every minute.
00:41:39.775 --> 00:41:42.318
So we have that shortest attention span possible.
00:41:43.139 --> 00:41:48.385
So if you give too much information, people will be confused and they will not buy.
00:41:48.905 --> 00:41:59.097
And when you're spending money on ads, which is how most businesses are successful, you look at the biggest business in the world, exception Elon Musk, Tesla, keep that aside.
00:41:59.157 --> 00:42:03.722
But most businesses who actually make a lot of money, they spend a lot on advertising.
00:42:04.322 --> 00:42:04.922
That's the play.
00:42:05.382 --> 00:42:08.365
So if you want to spend for ads, but if you don't make your money back, Guess what?
00:42:08.385 --> 00:42:09.306
You can't run your business.
00:42:09.367 --> 00:42:13.572
So you have to make a marketing funnel that can give you your ad dollars back.
00:42:13.693 --> 00:42:16.275
So if you spend 10,000, you need to make$15,000 back.
00:42:16.295 --> 00:42:20.661
So you can keep doing that at a million dollar budget,$10 million budget,$100 million budget.
00:42:21.101 --> 00:42:22.943
For that to crack down, you got to build a funnel.
00:42:23.063 --> 00:42:27.108
And funnel is not a software or a website or a landing page or a funnel step.
00:42:27.548 --> 00:42:30.313
It's more like the concept, the journey of a customer.
00:42:30.413 --> 00:42:31.755
That's what you need to create.
00:42:32.255 --> 00:42:36.000
It doesn't have to be a tool or a specific type.
00:42:36.579 --> 00:42:37.641
It's not the name.
00:42:38.081 --> 00:42:38.784
It's a journey.
00:42:38.905 --> 00:42:48.056
If you build the best journey, most frictionless experience without confusing them, give one call to action at a time, the right one will come through, the bad one will go off.
00:42:48.217 --> 00:42:49.342
That's all you need to do.
00:42:50.114 --> 00:42:50.574
I like that.
00:42:50.635 --> 00:42:52.398
And so you mentioned one call to action at a time.
00:42:52.438 --> 00:42:58.748
What are some of the other elements that you found in a funnel for whatever industry that actually work best?
00:42:58.909 --> 00:43:07.344
Because, you know, you've had the opportunity to test a lot against, you know, winners and losers and ones that work for people, ones that don't work.
00:43:07.724 --> 00:43:12.092
What is the structure or the format for that journey that you found works best?
00:43:12.452 --> 00:43:12.652
Sure.
00:43:12.913 --> 00:43:15.543
So it's I would like to make it interesting.
00:43:15.684 --> 00:43:17.565
It's not the structure of the page.
00:43:17.626 --> 00:43:19.027
And I know people obsess about that.
00:43:19.088 --> 00:43:23.032
Like, oh, should I put like a box or a circle or like three sections or two sections?
00:43:23.653 --> 00:43:27.438
Nobody will stop buying or opting in because there is two sections instead of three.
00:43:28.458 --> 00:43:28.840
Right,
00:43:28.940 --> 00:43:29.179
right.
00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:31.422
That's not how people make buying decisions.
00:43:31.722 --> 00:43:37.130
But what people do make buying decisions, especially cold traffic, is the offer and the promise of your headline.
00:43:37.634 --> 00:43:40.697
like 80% of our effort needs to go into headline testing.
00:43:40.737 --> 00:43:43.981
Like what, how would my market describe their pain?
00:43:44.621 --> 00:43:45.483
How would they say it?
00:43:45.623 --> 00:43:51.269
Not how you want to say it because every time a business owner comes in, he puts his agenda into the marketing campaign.
00:43:52.050 --> 00:43:54.574
We are the number one, yada, yada, yada.
00:43:54.594 --> 00:43:55.054
Who cares?
00:43:55.474 --> 00:43:57.998
Nobody has time for you, you know, to yell about your business.
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:06.628
But if you say, Hey, if you're struggling with bucks all over your home, like I can help you fix this in 30 minutes or we refund you like something like that.
00:44:07.269 --> 00:44:08.762
Uh, could get their attention.
00:44:09.543 --> 00:44:13.648
So you need to think about how would they describe their problem and you need to headline test those.
00:44:13.708 --> 00:44:16.351
That's a primary major thing.
00:44:16.751 --> 00:44:20.695
And from an advertising perspective, people don't buy immediately.
00:44:20.956 --> 00:44:22.038
That's just the reality of it.
00:44:22.177 --> 00:44:24.019
It takes a lot of touch points.
00:44:24.179 --> 00:44:29.465
I mean, as per our data, you gotta give 11 touch points before somebody even responds or books an appointment.
00:44:29.927 --> 00:44:33.990
So if you have this short term mindset that I will launch an ad and make money tomorrow, guess what you're gonna lose?
00:44:34.572 --> 00:44:35.213
No questions.
00:44:35.432 --> 00:44:37.802
In this market, no chance to survive.
00:44:37.923 --> 00:44:40.327
So you got to have that long-term perspective for your business.
00:44:40.766 --> 00:44:44.672
So use testimonial-based retargeting.
00:44:44.932 --> 00:44:51.360
Take all of your customers, take their success stories, aha moments, mash them up, run that as a retargeting ad.
00:44:51.380 --> 00:45:03.735
So if you have a bug, you know, for example, if you have a gutter cleaning service, right, you show them the ad, they click, they didn't book an appointment, show them the testimonials of all of your clients who had an exceptional experience to prove that you're the best person to pick.
00:45:04.456 --> 00:45:08.027
Because This is a world where everybody's just claiming things.
00:45:08.148 --> 00:45:09.952
You got to show up in it differently.
00:45:09.972 --> 00:45:11.074
You got to lead with proof.
00:45:11.494 --> 00:45:15.804
And that's one of the reasons I'm big on awards and putting them around me because I've delivered results.
00:45:16.284 --> 00:45:18.168
This is the proof that we do stuff.
00:45:18.309 --> 00:45:21.695
And that really changes the perception on how you're seen as a business.
00:45:21.876 --> 00:45:22.478
I hope that helps.
00:45:23.521 --> 00:45:24.583
Oh, that's been amazing.
00:45:24.623 --> 00:45:27.347
Well, you know, kudos for all your success.
00:45:27.447 --> 00:45:29.289
And this has been an amazing conversation.
00:45:29.349 --> 00:45:30.791
And I'm sure we can talk a lot longer.
00:45:31.351 --> 00:45:33.353
But I know you also have a meeting right after this.
00:45:33.414 --> 00:45:36.858
And so I want to give you time to share how people can get a hold of you.
00:45:36.878 --> 00:45:41.864
You already kind of shared who you help, you know, but how do people get a hold of you?
00:45:41.885 --> 00:45:43.507
I know you have a book out as well.
00:45:44.228 --> 00:45:45.710
So just share some of that information.
00:45:45.750 --> 00:45:46.952
Sure.
00:45:47.052 --> 00:45:48.653
So I...
00:45:49.858 --> 00:45:52.019

It's called Funneling Secrets.
00:46:11.896 --> 00:46:19.724
That's the playbook on how our clients and our interview guests have made millions of dollars working with us and my own story on how I've done it.

Happy to have a chat.
00:46:55.523 --> 00:46:56.646
That's awesome, man.
00:46:56.686 --> 00:46:59.168
Well, congratulations on all your success, man.
00:46:59.208 --> 00:47:00.471
Proud of you and well done.
00:47:00.490 --> 00:47:02.434
And that's been amazing.
00:47:02.454 --> 00:47:06.338
I appreciate you coming on and spending some time with me and having a great conversation.
00:47:07.420 --> 00:47:08.101
Thank you so much.
00:47:08.302 --> 00:47:09.583
Appreciate you inviting me, Paul.
00:47:09.603 --> 00:47:13.590
And guys, I would like to leave with one last line to it.
00:47:14.114 --> 00:47:27.728
Anyways, regardless of the fear of execution, the fear of failure, regardless of the ability you think that you can achieve it and the skills you have, regardless of the uncertainty you're going through, just do the work and you cannot fail.
00:47:27.768 --> 00:47:29.989
And repetition is a strategy.
00:47:30.550 --> 00:47:31.811
It's not a gimmick.
00:47:32.472 --> 00:47:33.414
Repetition is a strategy.
00:47:33.454 --> 00:47:36.235
Just do it so many times that you cannot fail.
00:47:36.335 --> 00:47:37.657
Like I've built so many funnels.
00:47:38.117 --> 00:47:39.259
I just can't go wrong with it.
00:47:39.500 --> 00:47:41.661
I've just taken thousands of sales calls.
00:47:41.954 --> 00:47:42.894
I can't be bad at it.
00:47:43.054 --> 00:47:44.496
I've spoken at so many events.
00:47:45.858 --> 00:47:47.460
I could just take over any conversation.
00:47:47.501 --> 00:47:49.262
So do that reputation.
00:47:49.563 --> 00:47:50.523
And that's what people avoid.
00:47:50.684 --> 00:47:51.605
People think it's easy.
00:47:51.646 --> 00:47:52.706
It's not.
00:47:52.947 --> 00:47:55.090
The work that it's doing, just do it.
00:47:55.409 --> 00:47:55.911
Reputation.
00:47:55.990 --> 00:47:56.610
You're going to suck.
00:47:56.931 --> 00:47:58.333
But you do it again, you suck lesser.
00:47:58.833 --> 00:48:00.096
And then you become exceptional.
00:48:00.596 --> 00:48:01.257
I'll leave you with that.
00:48:01.277 --> 00:48:01.797
That's awesome.
00:48:01.838 --> 00:48:02.539
Thank you so much.
00:48:02.639 --> 00:48:03.318
Have a good one, guys.
00:48:03.338 --> 00:48:03.599
Bye-bye.
00:48:04.460 --> 00:48:08.465
