If you’re worried about the state of your finances, then this is the Bulletproof Radio episode you must listen to. Top executive coach, marketing expert, and $21.7 Billion Dollar Man—Jay Abraham—joins Dave for a candid discussion about financial health. Especially as the Covid-19 pandemic has blown apart the economy.“Everyone is shell-shocked,” Jay says. “Even big companies are out of money.”As Founder and CEO of The Abraham Group, Inc. (Los Angeles, California), Jay has dealt with virtually every type of business scenario and issue. He has studied, and solved, almost every type of business question, challenge and opportunity. He’s spent his entire career solving complex problems and fixing underperforming businesses. “I have a broad perspective,” Jay says. “I've been trained to find opportunity at adversity.”His forte, which is the ability to think “way outside the box” while thinking “way inside the box” too, is to prepare for multiple potential scenarios. This has enabled him to find (and successfully implement) creative, pre-emptive solutions in order to generate high-performance results. You can, too, even in this incredibly tough business environment. “You start with nonthreatening, no-risk things, because every day, you could be putting into play one small revenue activity that can start monetizing for you,” Jay says. “They don't all have to be winners and they don't have to be big.”This episode is full of useful and practical ways you can do something about your current financial situation. The opportunities are there if you let yourself think in new ways.“What you can do from the base of what's happened is transcendent,” Jay says. “It's extraordinary if you allow yourself to transcend the limitations of how you have seen yourself—whether you're a displaced employee, whether you're a restauranteur, whether you're an entrepreneur whose business has faltered, or whether you're one that's doing okay.”SPECIAL GIVEAWAYS FOR BULLETPROOF RADIO LISTENERSGo to https://daveasprey.com/jay/ for your chance to win any one of these great resources by Jay Abraham:“The Sticking Point Solution: 9 Ways to Move Your Business from Stagnation to Stunning Growth in Tough Economic Times"“Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got: 21 Ways You Can Out-Think, Out-Perform, and Out-Earn the Competition"“The Creativity Switch: How To Unleash The Creative Power Within You"Enjoy the show!

As we approach the end of another year, it’s time to start thinking about business strategies and what we can do to boost our business in the new year. In today’s episode, Monica speaks with Cheryl Knowlton and Kristy Hairston about some book suggestions for building your brand, personal development, and business strategies. Both guests stress the importance of reading, and with a curated list like this, you’ll know right where to start! Cheryl Knowlton Cheryl loves to read! Not only physical books, but Audible is a great hack to get more books in. Both Cheryl and Monica have their book lists on their websites, and you can also check out Goodreads, a social media platform for book sharing. The first book they discuss is Never Split the Difference, by Chris Voss. Chris was the chief hostage negotiator for the FBI, and the book focuses on different types of negotiations. In some cases, you literally can’t negotiate for half of whatever is at stake, and this book teaches you the skills to never settle for half of what you want. You can also access Chris’ material on YouTube. Cheryl and Monica discuss the idea of a win-win situation if you never split the difference. The book provides scripts and scenarios that can help you navigate different situations. They also talk about the “black swan” as a key to negotiation, and how knowing what the black swan is can change the course of the deal. The next book is Unfu*k Yourself, by Gary Bishop. Though the title is a bit colorful, it is a great personal development book. It helps you be intentional about the things that are hijacking your life. The companion workbook is an aid to help you work through these things and make real changes. The way to make fundamental changes is to make promises with ourselves, and hold ourselves accountable to those promises no matter what. Think and Grow Rich for Women, by Sharon Lechter is a great book about not only how to make money, but also talks about other motivations beyond just making money. Money means different things for different people. It uses the same language and terminology as the original, and has a lot of great quotes and affirmations, especially for women. The last two books they discuss are both from author Sally Hogshead. Fascinate is geared toward understanding branding in corporations. She took this same information and put it into How the World Sees You, which focuses more on branding for individuals. There is also a code in the back of the book for a quiz to determine your primary and secondary advantage, and how to use them. Books allow you to connect with very powerful people without having to be physically with them. Reading can make you a better real estate professional, husband or wife, son or daughter, and all-around human being. Kristy Hairston Getting Everything You Can Out of All You’ve Got, by Jay Abraham has 21 ways you can outperform your competition. It focuses on mindset and looking at other industries for principles you can apply to real estate. These steps can help you form your brand around the customer experience. The book also provides tips on how you can get clear on who you are and what you’re setting up for yourself. Kristy and Monica go in-depth about the customer experience, and how we can draw on different industries and apply those ideas to real estate, especially getting consistency in your customer experience from open houses to closing gifts. Ninja Selling by Larry Kendall focuses on the flow Kristy referenced. Sometimes we don’t have a referral-based business because we aren’t “in flow” with them. It focuses on two types of flow, auto-flow and live-flow, and how you can continue to deliver to your current customer base. It will help you identify your “Ninja 9,” nine successful habits that are done each week. Kristy talks about how she combines the ideas and principles of the two books mentioned to better suit her business. The book To Sell Is Human, by Daniel Pink is a research-heavy book that breaks down the different layers of information about our careers and industries. There are case studies across several different industries that can help shift the mindset for REALTORS® in how they present themselves and their product. This book is great for people who are looking for thoughtful insight and data. In this business, don’t forget to be uniquely you! Do that with a system and a brand for yourself.

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast invites Francis Waldecker as guest host for this episode of “Tactical Tuesdays.” Francis helps Jason with marketing for the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy and the Ketamine Academy. Francis talks about “The Strategy of Preeminence” by Jay Abraham, why you should provide value before expecting money and how keeping your clients at the top of your priority list can expand your business. Episode Highlights: Francis introduces himself and talks about his role behind-the-scenes of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy and the Ketamine Academy. Francis explains what “The Strategy of Preeminence” means. Why is it really important to pay it forward with value before receiving compensation? What are Jay Abraham’s beliefs on providing value? Keep the client at the center of all of your thoughts. Clients need to understand why something has value. Francis recommends reading “Getting Everything You Can Out of All You’ve Got,” also by Jay Abraham. Put your client’s success above your own. 3 Key Points: Give your clients or your community value before they pay you anything. Educate your clients and be their mentor. Providing value builds trust. Trust builds love. Love builds comfort in doing business with you. Tweetable Quotes: “The Strategy of Preeminence” is the belief that value should be given before money ever exchanges hands.” – Francis Waldecker “You should always be looking for how you can help your customer. What can you do to make sure they make the best decision for themselves?” – Francis Waldecker “Don’t be afraid to give away information and knowledge on the front end. Because when they see all the value you’re giving, see how knowledgeable you are, see that you really truly are the expert, it’s going to build trust.” – Francis Waldecker Resources Mentioned: JasonDuprat.com Jason Duprat: Linkedin Facebook Ketamine Academy: ketamineacademy.com Francis Waldecker: Linkedin Book: Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got by Jay Abraham #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entreprepreneur #entrepreneurship #bizstrategy #valuebeforemoney #payitforward #customercentric
The missing piece to profitability in most brands is the use of post-purchase systems. There are some have-to’s to effectively grow a brand. You have to build an audience, nurture the audience to convert them into sales, and maximize average order value (AOV). But the post-purchase system is where the profit lies. Listen to this episode and learn how to capitalize on your most valuable prospects - your current customers. I’ll tell you about a company who creatively used post-purchase systems to exponentially increase sales. The five core functions of business In previous episodes, I’ve talked about the eCommerce vital few - audience, conversions, AOV, and frequency of purchase. My friend and mentor, Alex Charfen, shared similar core functions of a business. The five he talks about are: Leads Nurture Conversions Delivery Retention There is an optional sixth function and I see this as a lead generation pillar. It’s your referral program. Spend time focusing on this - as we know, if you give attention to something, it grows. How the fastest-growing company ThirdLove skyrockets sales One of the best referral programs I’ve seen implemented has been done by a company called ThirdLove. They have a unique challenge in selling undergarments, which means they don’t have the leverage of a lot of purchases from the same customer in a short period of time. Instead, they’ve leveraged their referral program. As a customer, when you refer a friend you receive a $25 credit on your next purchase. The friend you referred also receives a $25 coupon toward their purchase. This setup gives the incentive to share it because you’re essentially giving money to your friends. This makes you feel good which in turn creates an increase in status. It pushes people to take action. Learn from the most effective post-purchase systems ThirdLove set up a tiered referral program. They saw a 400 percent increase in account creations. This was phenomenal growth because these people were not checking out just as guests. They were creating new accounts, which gave ThirdLove a higher level of permission to market to them. In this episode, find out how this company achieved a 22.3 percent conversion rate by using this referral program. Get the most out of what you’ve already got Jay Abraham’s book Getting Everything You Can Out of All You’ve Got relates to ThirdLove’s referral program. He talks about how to maximize what you already have, using your customers as your best sales force. As an eCommerce seller, acquiring new customers is a must. But equally important is focusing on the backend process. It’s much easier to continue to convert customers than to try to get new ones. Getting the most out of what you already have is one of the most overlooked profit centers in any business. A lesson learned from venture capital investors I learned an important lesson from VC investors. Follow their example of using post-purchase systems. They’re making a business out of these systems. They increase profitability by implementing the systems into businesses, then turn them around for resale. You can also use these systems to increase profit. Focus on what you already have - retention, resale, upsale. Make referral partners and programs a core part of your business. Study what ThirdLove has done and let the results speak for themselves. Outline of This Episode [0:73] Post-purchase followup - the missing link to eCommerce profitability [2:24] Learn the five core functions of business my mentor taught me [5:42] Follow the example of the successful business ThirdLove [9:37] Get the most out of what you’ve already got Resources & People Mentioned Permission Marketing by Seth Godin Alex Charfen ThirdLove Uses VIP Tiers to Create Lifelong Loyalty Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got by Jay Abraham Connect With Bryan Bowman Bryan’s website: https://www.ecomunderground.com/ On Facebook

Sohail Khan has a lot to be proud of. Like his title as the world’s top joint venture expert or leveraging his expertise — and possibly his accent — to close a $1.5 million joint venture in 30 days. But the opportunity he’s most proud of seizing to date? Seeing the opportunities themselves. In this episode, Sohail Kahn breaks down the one strategy he’s used again and again to launch and sell 6, 7, and 8-figure businesses. Listen as his journey confirms it’s possible to cultivate a successful business by viewing connections and partnerships through opportunity-colored lenses. Episode Topics How to pitch to a potential partner when you're starting from scratch The one book that inspired Sohail’s JV journey Case study: How Sohail recently launched a business from scratch and sold it to a competitor for six figures Partnering with competitors as a JV strategy Building and establishing corporate credibility One of the quickest paths to a multi-six figure business Scaling an infoproduct from $70K to 7-figures How a newsletter 5x'd his info product business How important are stats to potential partners? Building a monetizable asset from your expertise Experts Corner: Sohail’s Successful Expert Essentials The 2-part genius exit strategy you’ve never heard of Equity consulting for the kids Giving back, legacy, impact as core drivers [3:55] Starting line: From 1998-2000, while Sohail was an internet marketing consultant, he created a one-page website that sold Microsoft tutorial courses to build credibility with his clients. [5:01] One of those clients was QVC who paid $15K-$30K per project. [5:25] The crash: During Y2K, the dotcom bubble burst forcing the agency to shut down. Focus shifted to the small computer training website that continued generating consistent revenue. [5:55] Inspired expert: Sohail credits Jay Abraham's Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got with inspiring him to become a JV expert. [7:17] Attracting JV partnerships: "I showed companies how to make money from the internet and not just content. I think that's what really did it." [8:40] Establishing expertise: In 2014, he co-wrote the book, Guerrilla Marketing and Joint Ventures which boosted his corporate credibility. [10:10] Smart scaling: How Sohail scaled a small computer website from $70K to 7-figures using video-based training. [11:35] Losing everything: "In 2008, I basically went from being a multimillionaire to being broke because the group that owned my computer video training company went bust." [12:29] True grit: "I've been very successful in business. I could either pack and do something else or I could put my foot back in and try once more to get back on my feet…and that's exactly what I did." [12:46] Million-dollar challenge: In 2009, Sohail challenged himself to make a million dollars in 12 months. He closed one deal in 30 days that made just over 1.5 million. [14:19] 1st strategic alliance: In early 2000, he leveraged his training course stats to partner with an IT improvement agency. They’d promote his courses to 150K professionals for a percentage of sales. [15:15] Lightbulb moment #1: Sales increased from $80K to $400K — pursuing joint venture opportunities was a no-brainer. [15:42] How important are stats to potential partners? Or is it possible to do is brand new? [17:41] Seizing opportunity: How Sohail launched a brand-new company in Dubai with zero knowledge of the marketspace or industry— and sold it to a competitor for 6 figures. [21:28] “Entrepreneurs make it so difficult to monetize, especially in the expert space...You have assets at your fingertips that people will pay you for. If you can figure out how to piece it together, you're gold." [22:19] Killer exit strategy: Sohail's strategy has always been to partner with potential competitors in the market as well as potential acquirers. [23:58] How do you build an asset from your expertise you can sell? [27:20] Impact & legacy: Sohail’s current focus is mentoring high high-level clients, equity consulting for his kids, and establishing his own foundation at the end of 2018 to give back. [29:38] Mindset pivot: When I went from being worth $50 million to zero, that's when my whole mindset changed. It taught me to be fearless. ‘Give first, ask later,’ ‘what would you do if you knew you would never fail?’…That is the way I do business. [30:05] Leveraging language: "90% of my work is US based so it's the place where I do really really well and — must be the accent possibly..." [30:42] Don't collect material possessions. Collect experiences. [31:42] What is the single biggest opportunity you're most proud of to date? Seeing the opportunity. [36:11] Experts Corner: Sohail’s Successful Expert Essentials Know that you’re in an era where opportunities are everywhere Believe in yourself Focus on strengthening your core skill first If you want to be where someone else is right now, get yourself a mentor Build a small network of people you trust Connect with Sohail Facebook Milliondollarpartnering.com LinkedIn Mentioned resources Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got - Jay Abraham Guerrilla Marketing and Joint Ventures - Sohail Khan & Jay Conrad Levinson Subscribe to the Experts Unleashed YouTube Channel for exclusive video trainings and content.
