8 Unassailable Truths:
Truth 1
– It’s about the customers, stupid. The thing we need to work on MOST is to
have a DEEP understanding of our customers that we choose to sell to!!
Truth 2
– It’s a TINY % of the population in general, and of any specific population.
Stats:
4% - Do really really well.
17% - Do well.
15% - Do OK
60% - Overall majority struggle/dependent
3
20% - Dead Broke – Beg to end
You can’t win catering to the majority!!!
The bottom of your pyramid can cater to a large amount of people but that’s not who you
want!
Joel Wheldon:
When you get in the guys office, look around, if the office is piled high with cassettes,
self help, etc. Stay as long as you can! If not, drop a catalogue and leave!!
Regardless of what someone says of you: you can always choose to take it as a
compliment!

ethical value. (thelifetimeofleisure.com)

Truth 3
– People want the usual: Secrets; New; First.
*It is not enough to have good valuable information*
- Mastermind (Me) – Find a way to work on ‘What Works’ First, not always ‘the new’
thing.
Use my toolbox!!!
Truth 4
– People like stories NOT things!
Rich Dad, Poor Dad – It’s about the Canard!
TAGR – The ‘Blackie’ Story – Secret bestowed upon someone from a dying legend…
Truth 5
– Money at a discount is the most obvious reason people come to your
business, but NOT ALWAYS THE reason people come:
Respect, Self-Respect, Justice, Security, Certainty, Independence, Power, Active
expression of Rage/Revenge.
Truth 6
– Wealth is in the Lists, NOT in the stuff AND the Relationships with the Lists!
Read/Buy these guys stuff!! Giants of their time:
- J. Douglas Edwards
- Red Motley
- Frank Bettger
- Robert Conklin
- Ben Sweetland
Truth 7
– You will Peak & Decline. Be popular & Be out of fashion.
4
You MUST create sustainable Assets within your business & Take Assets/Income, etc.
OUT of your business to invest for your security!!
SUSTAINABLE ADVANTAGE!!!
Truth 8:
Change in Methods is a Constant Imperative!!
Discarding poorly performing activities in favour of fresh opportunities is VITAL!
NEVER seek to maintain to be in the same business! Always continue to change!

By November 6
th
, 2010, I will create the life of my dreams by doing the following:
1) I will serve the _______ (market).
2) I will sell them _______ for _______ price.
3) I will sell no less than _______ amount/day.
Know Primary Drivers!! – Freedom, Lifestyle (Emotions, etc.)
Have to have:
1) Right Action
2) Right Mindset
Right Action
is doing the right thing 100% of the time. Your stuff has to be of that level
of value to bring to your customers. – Dying Child Example.
Right Mindset
1) Be thankful – Our clients are 100% responsible for our dream lifestyle because they
buy our shit.
2) Help People – ‘Right Mind’ – 75% helpful stuff to 25% pitch.
Genuine Core Unshakeable belief that you will do anything you 100% put your mind to!!
Self Repeating Cycle
Right Action > Positive Expectency > V.B.W (Very Best Work) > Results >
Encouragement.
What you get to do VS What you have to do
[Claude Hopkins > Buy Everything!]
Attract customers who can benefit the most!
There are 2 parts to your market:
1) Bad Assets
2) Everyone Else
Serving the low end of the market is a really dangerous thing!!
Make your ‘Bob’ - Your Ideal Client Avatar –
Write qualities of ideal customers? What qualities are a must? What magical ability?
What would disqualify them?
You have to ‘outcool’ your competition!! Provide dramatically more value than
everyone else + turn all your clients into stark raving fans!!
Results in Advance Strategy – Determine results they want in advance, give it to them +
they are pulled toward you.

Be the baddest Mother Fucker by bringing the most value possible.
Sonia Simone:
– Blogging; senior editor of Copy Blogger.
Harsh Realities…
1) No one is reading your blog > So bring enough value to share
Goal = Viral Content (Pass along)
When it comes to giving away free content think of it in the context of the Bikini.
Even though a bikini reveals 95% of a girls body and doesn’t leave much to the
imagination, there’s always a certain segment who will pay to see the 5%.
2) You’ve got to give your best stuff away
3) It’s overwhelming * Bikini Tactic > Always pay for 5%
4) Social Media hates selling – Promote great free content + let that do the selling for
you. Social Media NEEDS a phenomenal headline > That’s what sells.
5) What they say matters 1,000,000 times more than what you say!
6) A blog is not a marketing plan – Blend all tools together.
7) You don’t get to opt out.

Bill Glazer/Dan Kennedy: Rich Coach Day
Coaching is one of the two/three most important parts of any info-biz as all businesses
evolve into.
What It Is:
- Means of training/teaching
- Creates Motivational Environment
- Facilitates Peer Support
- Different Way of Providing Consulting
- Support (Products/Services)
- Creation of Fraternity
- Facilitates Strategic Alliances
- Typically a Hybrid of All Above
How It’s Used:
- Business by itself
- Extensions of Product/Services
- Top of Biz Pyramid
- Key Source of Income
- Often used to more aggressively fund customer acquisition.
1) Small Group Masterminds (Origins):
Jesus, Leadership Councils (Andrew Carnegie), Mafia (Head of Family), Nefarious
Industry Groups (Firestone, Ford, Edison, e.g. Chicago Big Six)
Both Practical (Business Alliances)
Metaphysical Aspects: ‘Combined Mind’
Virtues: Can be fed from small herd, high fees, low attrition
Drawbacks: Familiarity breeds trouble, requires high level skill, broad and deep
knowledge, small, so vulnerable to theft, collapse.
Laws of Success, p.g. 55, Section on ‘Mastermind’
2) Large Group Masterminds (Blueprint):
Perversion of mastermind bred with
workshops:
Origins:
Seminar/Workshops > Need to go from event to continuity income.
- Began in Self-Help Industry
- Common component in Practice Management Programs
- Evolved in most info-biz’s backwards: Small groups first, then demand/opportunity
for another level. (Many info biz’s have both small/large).

Michael Cage:
- First they care because of what you say, and then they care because you said it.
(Michael Cage).
- What’s the one thing that’s driving people insane? That no one is addressing in any
single way?
- Far too many people think far too small!! (Michael Cage).
Step 1: When you have a single skill you want to sell: You start with a profound conflict,
problem, and solution.
Step 2: Outline All Solutions > Here’s what you’ve tried + why they haven’t worked.
Step 3: How to find out the answer to your question > Take complex question + make it
simple.
The End.
