You Never Know When You’ll Make a Friend…
You Never Know When You’ll Make a Friend…
One of the side benefits of going to live events is meeting new people, and…
You never know when you’re going to meet cool people that end up being your friends for LIFE!
I have a buddy, Dexter, who I met at a real estate conference back in 1996.
He and I formed a small mastermind as a result of that meeting. We’ve been best friends ever since (over 25 years)!
And…
It’s Not What It Is… It’s What It Does!
It’s Not What It Is… It’s What It Does!
There’s one thing that frustrates me the most when I hear people talk about how hard it is to sell online!
And it’s this…
STOP selling whatever your product “is” and start selling what your product “does” for people!
There is one MAJOR thing to remember when selling something… burn this into your brain…
People Want What They Can’t Have, Including Bagels!
People Want What They Can’t Have, Including Bagels!
I remember a funny story about picking up my dad from the hospital with my mom.
We went to a bagel shop, and I was amazed. I got this bagel with plenty of cream cheese, capers, and smoked salmon. The bagel was amazing and reminded me of fond memories in Northern Virginia where amazing bagel shops are frequently found in virtually any strip mall.
The truth is, it isn’t always possible…
How To Deal With Idiots
How To Deal With Idiots
What can you do when somebody is being an idiot online or being an idiot at your help desk?
Let’s say you sell a service and:
• Someone pays for the service
• Someone pays for a subscription
Or…
You sell a subscription to software, and somebody doesn’t use the software for a year…
Complicated Does NOT = Better
Complicated Does NOT = Better
Humans have a tendency to complicate things…
And I think we do that because we associate complicated with better.
If something significant is simple, people tend to say:
“Oh! It can’t be that simple!”
Yes, it can.

If somebody successful says…
You Gotta See It FIRST… Before You Can Make It Reality In Your Life
You Gotta See It FIRST… Before You Can Make It Reality In Your Life
Let’s talk about micro-visualizations!
Last night I relearned something I’m planning on doing more of moving forward.
I had had a stressful day.
I was sitting there in a painting class with my wife. We got there late because we were meeting with somebody and it ran overtime.
Normally, when I get to painting class, I start right in slashing away…
Are You ‘Forcing’ Your Business?
Are You ‘Forcing’ Your Business?
Are you an entrepreneur who needs to get things done?
Does it feel like you’re ‘forcing it’ in your business?
Let me tell you a story about when we were redoing Funnel Scripts for the third time.
It was a lot of work.
I’d spent the entire summer on this project. Ultimately, I had to redo 50 instructional videos.
I told myself, ‘I’ll do all 50 videos in five days!’
But I made a HUGE mistake!…
The #1 Factor In Success (or Survival)!
The #1 Factor In Success (or Survival)!
Not too long ago, my wife and I had a unique experience of going through two days of survival training with a MARSOC Marine. This guy was a very knowledgeable wilderness expert, combat veteran, and super cool guy.
Over the course of the weekend, we learned how to trap, gather water, stitch people up, track, and…
I learned how to build a fire… Underground.
I was taking notes on everything the whole time because it was so cool!
Then This Happened….
The One Thing That Breaks You Into The Big Leagues…Especially In Your Online Business.
The One Thing That Breaks You Into The Big Leagues…Especially In Your Online Business.
It may seem obvious, but a lot of people don’t pay attention to the best way to break into the big leagues online.
What is it?
You have to have a big-ticket product.
The truth of the matter is that you’re not going to make big bucks online selling a $7 “tripwire” product.
For example, I have a $29 ebook that generated over a million dollars in sales of the ebook all by itself, but…It took nearly 20 years to do that…
How Do You Get People to Sign Up for Your List and Use Your Lead Magnet?
How Do You Get People to Sign Up for Your List and Use Your Lead Magnet?
“Jim, how do I get people who sign up for my list to consume the lead magnet that I used to get them to sign up?”
I find this question interesting!
There are two schools of thought when it comes to lead magnets:
#1 You shouldn’t worry about whether anybody consumes the lead magnet or not!
#2 You should try and get them to consume the lead magnet!
Which camp am I in?…
