The costs of middle-class markers like higher education, cars, and home ownership have shot up in recent decades. Wages, meanwhile, have remained relatively stagnant.
This makes installment plans a more appealing option.

3.) Promotional Offers

4.) Unclaimed Money
5.) Reducing Expenses
Increase your revenue while
maintaining profitability.
Decrease your expenses.
This applies to your personal life
to…make more money + decrease
your cost of living.
Both are important and while I
prefer to usually focus on making
more money, learning how to
decrease your expenses is
important too.
Usually the biggest expense a
business or individual has is
taxes.
Now while taxes can be pretty
simple to reduce we will save that
for another day.
But suffice is to say I’ve got you
covered.
Today I want to talk about how
you spend money in your business.
You see there is a very simple
way to save 10%, 20%, 30% or
more sometimes on key expenses
in your business.
Here are 3 things I’ve done recently
that have saved me thousands and
how you may just be able to do the
same.
Plus it clears your mind and can give
you some relief knowing it’s already
done.
This could be as simple as booking
something far in the future.
Recently for me, I was booking a
business trip and hotel accommodation
for April and I decided to just get it
taken care of now.
Low and behold the hotel offers a 30%
discount for paying in advance more than
45 days.
That was over $1000 in savings.
And because I booked it through my
loyalty account I saved another $183
Total time: 15 minutes = huge savings
I learned about this concept in a
book called the Aladdin Factor.
I’ve even done it on services I’ve
already prepaid for.
This year as in the last 10 days I
saved over $3800 in credits so far.
And on top of that it just saved me
almost $2200 on a business asset I
just purchased this week.
Heck even this email service provider
I use Drip which cost several hundred
dollars a month gave me over $1800
in credit for this year. That will pay
for 7+ months of my service fees if
not more because I upgraded to annual
billing.
Will get to that in a moment.
On a personal note this works great
as well and you could do it on things
like insurance, credit card interest
rate, and many many other things.
I’d suggest starting this habit and
suggest you make a list of all the
things you have in your personal
life that you may be able to negotiate
to get a discount.
Or heck why not negotiate your
existing salary. You most likely
deserve a pay raise :-).
Ramit Sethi has a great article on
it here. I used a similar process
while switching jobs many many
years ago to go from 85k/yr + bonus opportunities
including a $5k starting bonus.
To say I was excited is would be
a bit of an understatement because
at the time that was totally life
changing.
More on that in a moment.
You see so many companies will
give you a discount if you pay in
advance for services that they
normally charge a monthly investment
for.
Again car insurance is a prime
example.
I’m always looking for this opportunity
and recently found out that 3 tools
I use all the time offer a yearly discount
so, of course, I took them up on that.
And if you can do that in your life I
highly recommend it.
You will have the expenses anyways
so why not save 10-40% or even
more sometimes.
This gives your business more profit.
It gives you more money left over to
invest.
At least for me when I save on these
types of things I take that money and
invest it.
That way those savings make me
more and more money for decades to
come.
Now as a PBIC member you may not
know it but you have the option to get a
significant discount by paying annually
instead of monthly for your PBIC membership.
So if you are not on the annual plan
for the PBIC and you’d like to be just
reply here and I’ll get you the details
on how to do it so you can start saving.
On your side,

The avocado principles
If you wait until you really want an avocado, the market won’t have any ripe ones. You need to buy them in advance.
If you eat an avocado that’s not quite ripe, you won’t enjoy it. AND, you won’t have a chance to enjoy it tomorrow, when it would have been perfect if you had only waited.
If you live your life based on instant gratification and little planning, you’ll either never have a good avocado or you’ll pay more than you should to someone else who planned ahead.
Buy more avocados than you think you need, because the hassles are always greater than the cost, so you might as well invest.
And since you have so many, share them when they’re ripe. What goes around comes around.
All of these truths lead to the real insight, the metaphor that’s just waiting to be lived in all ways: If you get ahead of the cycle, waiting until the first one is ripe and then always replenishing before you need one, you can live an entire life eating ripe avocados. On the other hand, if impatience and poor planning gets you behind the cycle, you’ll be just as likely to waste every one you ever eat.
Plant your tree before you need the shade.

Add other products to your first business
Increase the first flow, don’t look for a second.
Make your first flow bigger, make it juicier, I want you
to increase the intensity of it. Don’t even worry about saving right now—all you
want to do is get a job and increase that income flow
Don’t let your wealth depend on one income flow that never
increases.
You won’t get to wealth without saving it all.
Save for the big play. You won’t make it to
wealth without sacrifice.
Be a miser early in the process if you want
surges and spikes in wealth.
You won’t see surges in income un8l you become a miser
Rate your purchases from 1 to 5. Remove the things you don’t need.
At least 500k
Most people move to this step prematurely
and end up broke.
You are puqng money away to make surges in wealth, to mul8ply money. The
first thing you must do is commit to money. You must say, “I want to be
wealthy!”
You won’t create wealth without learning how to invest.
If you invest for a rainy day you’ll be broke
when a meteor hits.
There are only two reasons to have money: 1) buy essen8als, and 2) invest to
create new money.
But how do I take liNle to no money and
become wealthy?
Don’t expend your money, expand it.
Add other Businesses related to your main business
You cannot depend on one flow of income to make it BIG
Your first flows of income must be symbio9c.
Keep your mul9ple flows within 3 feet of you.
You must be able to control the space around
you before you can go wide.

Almost everybody has two or three flows to
start with. Look at every flow you have.
How many flows of income do you really have?
What do you do to increase these flows?
You have to get into sales.
So now you have a couple flows going, two, three, five, seven… as long as they
are symbio8c you are going in the right direc8on
• Communica8on
• Mo8va8on
• Branding
• Marke8ng
• Going Wide
This is not the stage where you worry about
making products beNer.
Don’t try to reinvent the wheel—learn how to sell the wheel to more
people faster.
Revenue can solve all product problems. Put all
your aNen9on on it.
Who’s got the money to fund my projects? Who can help me hit my targets?
What are my targets? How many units do I have to sell to hit that target? You
must keep aOen8on on this. What’s the target for my department with this
product or service?
Who do I have to make contact with on each of these flows? Evaluate each flow
constantly, looking at the flows and how they can go wider and wider. I’m telling
you what I was doing when I was twenty-eight, twenty-nine and thirty. I didn’t
own the company I worked at. I’ve increased my flows. I’ve started to invest a
liOle in my 3 foot space that I talked about earlier. I’m just trying to make those
bigger. Those investments are flows and I want to increase those flows.
“Who’s Got My Money?”
Don’t crap out.
This is different than saving in step 3.
Don’t make big plays yet. You aren’t ready for that yet, even if you’ve saved
$250k.
Don’t try to make big plays yet. Focus on saving.
Keep puqng money away un8l you are over $1,000,000.
Save un8l you have a real play available
If you cannot wrap your head around it, do not invest in it.
There are three types of investments to look at:
Big Bang, Dividend, or Both.
Your investment must be a sure thing, you
have to know what you’re doing and it can’t be
able to be disrupted.
Add other businesses not related to you business
Don’t forget the first flows. Here you should be
increasing all your flows and increasing the
number of flows.
Keep your main thing your main thing.
You have to grow and expand as you get
around this circle of steps.

Persistence. Never give up. Keep coming back to something until it yields to y ou. And when you overcome it, the feeling of triumph is Great.

There are two reasons people don’t become
wealthy: 1) they never earned any real amount of money, and 2) they never
invested big enough amounts in big enough investments.
Look down stream or up stream
I had to find a second flow that went with my
first flow—sales. So I started helping with financing deals. I started to bring in
more leads and take them to the service department and the repair department.
Instead of the company paying outside people to bring in leads they started to
pay me to bring leads to different departments. A second flow symbio8c to the
first. I didn’t go anywhere and it helped my first flow grow.
What’s the point of all this? Control the 3 feet around you before you go out and
try to conquer the world. You need to be able to dominate your space before
you can go out. You need to for8fy that first flow and build your other flows next
to it.
You need symbio8c, parallel income flows.
Takeaway: Can you get more than 3 flows where you work now?
You
could take that money and lend it out; that would be one way to do it
You have to properly iden8fy the flows you have so you can increase them
properly. Money goes to the things you put aOen8on on. Put aOen8on on your
flows of income so you can increase them.
the big bang is an explosion on the return. The second one is a
Dividend or cash flow. For example, I made an investment in real estate of
100 a month or 1,200 a year.
I look for the third group: Both—something that is explosive and gives a

c) Write down 2 already successful people that you can introduce to one another, and find something in common that they can connect on (hobby, interest, passion)
d) Send an email and introduce them, say that they’re both great, and that the two of them should get together and talk
e) Write a list of people you know who are on the same path as you…they’re in this for the long-term…and start meeting weekly as a MasterMind
f) Create a social summit. Invite all the people you know who are successful, and invite them to invite successful people they know too. Let them know you’re going to be talking about how to build your business and your professional lives. Can be at Denny’s or a lounge…it’s up to you

If you take 1 dollar out of your business and it gets taxed, you may end up with about cents. It would take you years of good investing to get the 50 cents back up to your original 1 dollar instead, take that 1 dollar and put it right back so it’s not taxed and put all that value back into biz

Do Your Own Math
Two major points to remember when it comes to money:
1) People want to exchange with you—If you bring great value people want to
exchange money with you. Asking is not offensive to good people; they will
want to pay you. I always have a product someone can buy from me because
I take the 8me to create products that solve people’s problems.
2) Your financial situa8on depends on new money. You need new money
because you don’t want to be dependent on any one thing to determine your
income flow. No maOer how big the one flow or one loyal customer, never
never never depend on one flow for anything
3) Wan8ng to be paid fairly for what you give to the marketplace will only be
looked upon nega8vely by those who are refusing to pay fairly.
Geqng money from others means geqng known.
AOen8on follows money, the more aOen8on you get the beOer your
chances of geqng money.
Stay broke un8l you get rich.
Simple – Inves8ng in real estate is a fairly simple ac8vity compared to running
more complex businesses.
Disrup9on Free – No technology can destroy the fact that people need a place to
live, eat and sleep. America is becoming a renter na8on and it is my belief this
trend will not be reversed.
Dependable Income Stream—One of the biggest benefits to income-producing
Real Estate Investments is that the assets are generally secured by nine to
fourteen month leases which provide a regular and dependable income stream
that should produce posi8ve cash flow.
Infla9on Hedge—As countries con8nue to print money to spur economic growth
income-producing real estate can act as hedge against infla8on. Generally
speaking, when infla8on occurs, the price of income-producing real estate,
should rise.
Physical Asset—Income-producing real estate is one of the few investment
classes that has meaningful value as a hard asset. The property’s land has value,
as does the structure itself and the income it produces has value to future
investors.
Leverage –Every dollar of cash should buy you 3X or 4X in real estate. The
income will service the debt while paying down the mortgage.
When inves8ng
1) Know your investment.
2) No guessing.
3) No gambling.
4) If your aren’t sure, don’t do it.
If you are going to make millions in business you will have to solve a problem.
What is the problem you’re going to solve? Iden8fy that problem. Solve a
problem a lot of other people have so it’s scalable.
You don’t need to go start your own company. Find somebody that’s rolling,
man, somebody that’s expanding, somebody that’s got a vehicle with fuel in it
and wants to accelerate, that wants to embrace technology.
Brainstorm what you can do at your job to earn more money.
our job can have opportunity if you see yourself as a business.
Pitch Building
Pitching is vital, and you have to know how to sell to pitch properly
It shouldn’t be more than 20 seconds. If you can’t
tell your story in 20 seconds, you have a problem.

Quit following your daddy’s dream and make your own. Go for $50

• Can’t hire
• Can’t keep staff
• Can’t promote
• Can’t invest
• Can’t sleep
Businesses and people fail when they
don’t sell products and services in
quan88es great enough at prices
high enough to provide a cash flow
significant enough to grow.
Never assume a passion or love can be a business.
• Sole proprietorship
• Partnership
• Limited Partnership
• Corpora8on
• Limited Liability Corpora8on
• Non-Profit
Think big from the beginning.
Reinvest back into your business early.
Your market can be huge but it might take a revamp or reinvent on
your part to make it work
Don’t assume you’ve “made it.”
Always have people show, not tell.
“Hey, show me your freaking income statement. Show me how many
lawsuits you’re involved in, show me how much money you have in the bank.”

Make quick decisions but make them wisely.

Sales Cure All
• Deliver more than you promised and
promise a lot
Don’t sit around and plan, organize, and play with your new
computer. Get to market! Remember that speed is power.
Urgency is divine. Be the tortoise AND the hare. People plan
too much and do too liOle.
Blow your freaking horn. Be loud, let people know you exist.
If they don’t know you they’ll never buy from you. Tell
people you are the greatest. Believe it and be it.
Sales is where money is. Get great at sales and you’ll get
great amounts of money. Sell or be sold.
Do things yourself before you ask others to. I’ve done
everything and I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty.
No job is beneath me and you need to be willing to do
whatever it takes.
You have to know who you are and what you stand for
before going out in the market place. Like I said earlier, find
clarity in your pitch. The beOer people know you the more
recep8ve they’ll be to your message. Stay consistent with
your brand.
Cash is king as I’ve preached to you so much. You need
money coming in from lots of places every month. Without
cash flow you can’t grow big and you’ll instead flat line and
go out of business.
If you have one flow and that faucet turns off you’ve got
nothing. I’ve created mul8ple companies and you’ll need to
do the same.
Don’t be a baller when you’re middle class at best. I didn’t
buy expensive watches or cars un8l I had paid the price.
Keep shoving money aside un8l you can invest it.
Being smart is great but I’ll take a hustler any day. You don’t
learn hustle at Harvard. Stay hungry and don’t get sa8sfied.
I made TwiOer my b*tch, now I’m making SnapChat my new
one. Technology will come and go so use it and lose it.
Growth is where it’s at. Get big or go home. Be massive or
be passive.
If you’re not growing, fire someone. Perform or get out. NFL
clubs don’t keep losing coaches for long. Why should you?
When the buyer adamantly and aggressively insists that they will not do
something, it is an indica8on that they will in fact do that exact thing they
suggest they will not. In fact, the more the buyer insists they will not, the more
likely they will
Great. Excellent. Super
Show a proposal.
“Excuses for not crea9ng a proposal are not a reason
to not present a proposal.”
Use third par8es to improve your posi8on with the buyer and learn things
otherwise not uncovered. Put your manager to work on every customer by
having the manager or third party touch your customer.
Having another person touch your customer takes the rela8onship with you and
your company to another level.
A third party touch can be a
phone call, an email or a personal visit.
Use a Third Party to Seal the Deal
inventory / packages /offerings as a way to
nego8ate instead of using price. When you offer a proposal, make sure you
always give the buyer two other op8ons on both sides of the target offer
A = Customer Request
B = Higher
C = Lower
Almost 96% of salespeople never aOempt a second sale because they are so happy just to make
the first one and believe incorrectly that the buyer is out of money.
If you want to drama8cally increase sales volume and deal profitability immediately add the
second sale offering to every pitch.
Consider that forty eight percent of all salespeople never follow up and that 64%
of companies admit they do not have any organized way to nurture a lead and
you will see follow up is a massive opportunity.
Now think with this… by contac8ng a customer in the first five to ten
minutes arer the lead is created, your chances of reaching the customer
increases 900 8mes
Text them in the first five minutes and your chances of
closing them increases 50X.
Follow Up Magic
• Text Text Text
• Call
• Email
• Mail
• Personal Visit
when they have made a
decision to purchase. The way to do that is ask, “have you seen enough to make
a decision?” Or you could tell them prior to the presenta8on, “if at any point
you have seen enough to make a decision just let me know and I will write it up
for you.”
Words to Never Use in the Close
• No
• I disagree
• Compe88ve
• Good deal
• We can’t do that
• Not possible
• That’s our best deal
• No way
• We won’t
• WTF
Keep things posi8ve and never make the customer wrong
Requirements for Closing the Sale
• Decision Maker
• Wherewithal
• Sold on the product
• Believe in YOU
• Confidence in the Product
• WriOen Offer
• Urgency
Why YOU Struggle in the Close
• No Commitment to GREATNESS
• Shortage of Closing Material
• Believe Price is the Issue
• Buy the Customer Story
• Unwilling to Pressure
• Lack Financial Goals
• No Training
• Not Sold
Objections
Buyer Benefits from the Close
More than you do
• Buyer gets your product
• Buyer ends shopping cycle
• Problem solved
• Improves Status
You must aOach personal pain to not closing the
transac8on.
• Lose Confidence
• Lose Security
• Lose Money
• Lose Time
• Lose Momentum
• Start Over again
There are only two reasons you won’t make a
decision to purchase from me at this 8me.
My goal is to get your company on our product
delivered and installed by __ (date).
State your inten8ons early.
• Do you have enough informa9on to
make a decision?
• Have you seen enough to make
sense of the investment?
Use emo9on to sell the product and use logic to
close.
Always acknowledge by star9ng with agreement,
then “let me suggest…”
• “I agree with you”
• “You are right”
• “100 percent correct”
Please don’t confuse my persistence and enthusiasm
for earning your business with pressure.
AMer valida9ng the 2nd baseman (influencer but not
decision maker) ask them:
“Will you be helping with the price, installments or
guaranteeing the loan?”
All “Think about it” closes are really
unresolved complaints about:
• Price
• Terms
• Product
• Which product would you rather own
if everything else were the same?
• Why?
• Why else?
• Why else?
Anymore of a discount will result in me NOT gerng
paid on this transac9on and I KNOW you don’t want
that.
What remains as a profit is my commission and that
is the sole way I get compensated and how I take
care of my family.
Sign here…
Sooner or later you will make this decision – you
need the product, it solves your problems, we are
leaders in the field and you can afford it.
Let’s do this now so you can start receiving the
benefits.
Never leave a presenta8on without geqng to a price
proposal.
How many people never even present a proposal? Too many.
Before I show you the benefit let me share our pricing
with you so you can make sense of the value
proposi8on.
This way you can also find out early if you need to move up or down inventory.
• Always write a proposal
• Always ask to buy
• Always ask again
• Always introduce 3rd party
• Always ask why
• Always ask why not
• Insistence will be required on 90% of your sales.
• Insistence or pressure will never blow a sale.
• Without insistence on ac9on now, you will never
control your income.
How much of what I have said or shared do you
believe?
No one thing can blow a sale, ever!
Quit Closing scared.
The buyer that is not certain will blame 9me and
money.
• What are you not certain about?
• On a scale from 1-10 how do you feel about the
product?
• What other product would solve your problem?
• Is the problem bigger than the investment?
What is the worst thing that could happen if you
made a decision?
This is a great ques8on to ask, use it and thank me later.
When is the last 9me your company invested
$150,000?
• When is the last 9me you made a decision of this
magnitude?
Once you enter the close never return to selling.
• Why?
• Why did you agree to see me?
• Why did you come here?
• Why did you call here?
• Why are you shopping now?
• Why?
• What could I have done differently?
• I want to apologize…
• Had I done everything right…
• What can we do to make this happen?
• 3rd party close
• Exit Survey
• Become completely unreasonable with the
buyer’s stories, stalls, reasons, & logic.
• Stay sold on why it’s best for buyer to move
forward.
Treat the objec9on as a mere complaint un9l
validated as legi9mate objec9on.
Never give anything without some reason or without
gerng something in return.
• Do I have the decision maker?
• Do they have financial wherewithal?
• Are they sold on the product?
• Do I know their “Why?”
• Will the customer benefit more than price?
• Does the customer believe in me?
• No one buys because of price.
• You can’t buy a price.
• A price doesn’t make the product beNer.
• Lower Price doesn’t increase value.
• Price is not a reason to buy or not buy.
Always show the other party how they are geqng what they want.
The most concerning objec9on is the one you need
to hear about.
• What is your real concern?
• What are you not telling me?
• If you said everything you were thinking what
would you say?
• On a scale from 1-10?
Never aNempt a close when either party is hungry
• Never ask “What is your price range?”
• Never ask “What is the max you will pay?”
• Never ask “What is your budget?”
Never close on the total price. Only make sense of
the difference between what is acceptable/expected
and what you need.
Take the difference amount and divide it by the 9me
of ownership or usage.

“30 a day. You will live in your home, wake up in
your home and go to sleep here every day and night. You will build a life
here and your family will be safe here for only $30 a day.”
• Either way you are going to make a decision.
• Not doing it is a decision
• Doing it is a decision.
• Either way it costs you.

Where there is uncertainty, there will be losses
Having an idea to solve a problem is not enough, you must build a
pitch.
Who is your audience? Who’s the audience you can sell to? Who’s the audience
that you can approach? Who do you already know in the marketplace that needs
your product, that wants your product? You want to sell a million dollar product.
Who’s your audience? It’s probably not the people that live in your
neighborhood. It would have to be people that have a million dollars, and have
the problem you can solve. What’s the offer? What’s the commercial? You’ve got
to build a commercial out. A 20-second commercial. Build a pitch
Whatever you are selling, you must first clarify your goal when you
start making your pitch.
Clarify your goal. What is the objec8ve and goal of your pitch? What is the one
thing you want this person to do when the pitch is over? Do you want to tell
poten8al clients about your organiza8on and make them a client?
want the person across from me to know what I do, see how he or she can
benefit, and decide within 20 seconds that I am the best person with whom to
do business.
We live in a noisy world, a good pitch must get a person’s Attention
Ask for Attention. If you don’t get Attention, you’ll just be talking. The best
elevator pitch demands that you get the person’s full Attention. All you have to
do is ask for it. “Can you give me your Attention for the next 20 floors to share
with you what I do?” Ask for Attention before you start your pitch
Make big claims so it’s memorable
Make it sticky. When you move into your pitch, make sure that the first thing
your audience hears is sticky (keeps their attention.) The easiest way to do this is
to make a giant claim where your unique value proposion is clearly stated. Start
your pitch by describing what your organiza8on does and do it in one sentence
that sticks. Here’s an example: “We help businesses increase sales by 15 percent
through identifying missed opportunities.” That is sticky, pointed and
memorable.
Having trouble coming up with a sticky point? Ask yourself: “What is the one
thing I want this person to remember when this pitch ends?” Your claim should
generate interest or suggest who in the company would be best to contact. Your
elevator pitch must hit very hard and be sharp and pointed so your audience
remembers it.
In order to make any sale you have to talk to the actual decision
maker.
Determine the decision maker. In any pitch, you want to know who the decision
maker is. This is especially true with the perfect elevator pitch. There is no
reason to pitch any further without knowing who can make a decision.
Immediately following the big claim, ask, “Are you the person that could make a
decision to invest $40,000 to increase sales by 15 percent?”

Over-promise but also over-deliver.
• Make big claims.

• Let people know you have the superior product
• Let people know you’re the most affordable
You’re going to have to handle price objec8ons.

Close the Door on Price
Swiftly respond to this objection with a smile on your face, telling your
prospect that he is confusing pressure with enthusiasm. No one resents
someone who is confident and excited. You would never blame a child for
pressuring a parent because he/she enthusiastically insisted for a yes.
“I understand. However, you thinking about it will not change the fact that
this product saves you money, your company needs it, and you are going
to do it sooner or later. Let’s get it done, so you can think about the other
things that need attention. I need your approval here and here.”
This forces a decision regarding with what product the buyer really wants.
Find out and handle it. This close will reveal objections you didn’t even
know were there, which allows you to handle them.
People are more likely to help another human and reduce the need for
more of a discount because of the human element than the product itself.
Or the Now or Later close: “Let me suggest that I show you the cost of
doing it now and cost of doing it later… The cost now is 18,000 and a monthly cost of almost $400
that you don’t need to waste. Not to mention that with this new product,
you, the company, and your clients will benefit without paying the extra
cost. Let’s do the smart thing. Sign here please.”
Always ask one more 8me. To con8nue to ask, persist, to
figure out another way to circle back arer being told no, reposi8on the
nego8a8ons and ask again is ul8mately what will make you a great closer.
“Great, most people want to take time to think about their decision before

ask, “What would make it a ten?
There are hundreds of millions of salespeople on this planet who call

we talk about successful closers we are talking about a very small,

deal up and tie all the pieces down!
More deals are lost over the prospect trying to save face, than are lost
over money.
The buyer has more concern about making the wrong decision than the
right one.
“Thought is instantaneous. Think of an elephant. Did you get it? You see,
thought is immediate. What you need to do now is make a decision. Yes
or no. Do or don’t do. I am ok with either one. Which is it?”

I’ll tell you, the easiest way to do that is third party credibility. If you can go out and find a third party reputable source that’s saying the same thing that you’re saying that their story is in line with your story and your prospect heard you say it first and you can send them this third party credibility, they will assume that this third party is validating you because they heard it from you first
Someone else validated it
