You’re Thinking Too Small

WE ALL HAVE THE SAME 36 HOURS IN A
              DAY.
              ( I WISH )
THE WHY

I’M ALREADY RIGHT SO WHAT DOES HE
              KNOW.
Where most of us started




 ( If I could only make $100 a day. Then I could do
 this full time forever. )

 Goal being money vs. wanting to build something.
How Limited Vision is Holding Us Back

 Fear is not holding you back. Lack of vision to see
 what’s possible is.

 You don’t know what you don’t know.


 Moving away vs. Moving towards
 ( Man I want to get out of this niche or these kinds of offers )
Limiting Beliefs

 We as humans run programs.


 Our programs can be from when were kids and may
 not be serving us.

 Our programs come from past experiences to
 simplify how we deal with the world.

 Just because it’s our current program doesn’t mean
 it’s the most efficient and effective.
Cash Flow vs. Cash Flow + Equity

 If I could just make $100 a day is why you’re most
 likely only concerned with Cash Flow.

 What if you could build that same Cash Flow
 business but it was worth millions at the end.

 Why wouldn’t you be doing that right now?


 Do you have limiting beliefs here?
What’s it costing us?

 We all have the same 24 hours in a day.


 Opportunity cost.


 Frustration cost and feeling like you’re stuck.


 Not building towards something greater with a big
 goal at the end of the road.
Golden Hamster Wheel
The What

BUILD YOUR MEDIA BUYING ( BUSINESS )
                1 ST!
Why a Media Buying Business First?

 You already know how to do it.


 Don’t throw away knowledge and have the grass is
 always greener syndrome.

 Always build cash flow businesses that either
 continue to generate cash flow or are sold.
What is a Business?

 Assets, Systems and Processes


 Stability through diversification


 People


 Something that continues to grow and make money
 without you involved.
 ( Do you own a business or a job? )
The How

THAT’S GREAT BUT HOW IN THE HELL DO I
              DO THAT?
Think Massive and Set a HUGE Goal

 Refactoring sucks.


 Set the goal as big as you can think times 10.
  ( But Jason I can never reach that…. Ugh oh here come the limiting beliefs )


 When you set small goals you sometimes become lost
  after you reach them.

 Set the massive goal and break it into the smaller bite
  goals. This way you don’t have to rethink or refactor as
  much. Doesn’t mean you have to build it all at once you
  just have to think about it.

Write Down All the Reasons It Won’t Work

 Counter intuitive I know. But you have to start here.
   Affiliate marketing is to unstable.
   I don’t have enough money.
   I could never build something like that.
   Those kind of people wouldn’t work for me.
   I’ll be screwed if my campaign goes down.



 Tackle each of the and write down a bunch of strategies to
  overcome each.
     How could I make affiliate marketing more stable?
     How could I cash flow this?


 If you don’t have the answers ask someone who might.
What’s Your Big Plan!




I want to run a sellable, sustainable, media
buying business that makes 20 million a year.
Who Would You Sell To?

 Even if you’re not planning on selling. Have
 acquisition targets of who you’d sell to and why.

 This helps you feel like you’re moving towards
 something greater.

 There’s an end if you weren’t going to sell it but build
 it and get burnt out.
Build a Redundant Scalable Plan

 Reverse engineer from the end to the beginning. This
 is how we build our plan to start.
 ( this isn’t an art and it isn’t set in stone so just get started to get something down )



 Start with large mile markers, no specifics.
   Build out a Facebook Ads team

   Build out a Google Adwords team

   Build out a Display and or RTB team



 Don’t worry we’re only going to tackle 1 at a time.
Build a Redundant Scalable Plan

 Take your first mile marker and start chunking it
 down.

 Define more specifically what what that mile marker
 means.
    What size of team do you need to reach your MASSVIE Goal?
What Following This Has Created

   WE’RE ALMOST DONE SO WE CAN ALL GO
               DRINKING!

Editor's Notes

  1. Talk about how registering a corporation isn’t a business. How hiring your first employee isn’t a business. Hiring your 30th employee isn’t a business. A business can be a few people or many. But what’s more important is it has assets, systems and processes.
