Countless people said “Read Alex Hormozi’s $100M Offers,” so read it twice. For starters. Here’s my executive summary to get you started. Want an offer that’s so good people will feel like a dodo for saying no? Then keep reading to learn how to build it.

Happy Chinese New Year. It's the Year of the Rabbit, the perfect time to start another habit. What's yours? Mine is I'm great with starting creative projects but not so good at finishing them. This year is the year of focus on completion until I have finished my project.

Nelson Mandela and MLK were both fighters. Both fought for equal rights against a government that didn't like their skin color of all the stupid reasons in the world. Keep on fighting. Keep on getting back up. That's your measure of success.

This is the part in your Sci-Fi life where your whole world gets blown up. I self taught myself 80% of what I learned over the past 25 years. Allyou need to learn: Critical thinking The Internet Curiosity - a problem you're dying to solve The ability to ask questions.

👇 Interesting point from Terence. It's time to change how we educate our kids. And trying to ban students from using #ChatGPT is probably not the right thing to do. Ref: ny.chalkbeat.org/2023/1/3/23537

How do you take action, without doing anything? It isn't lazy. It's deeply wise and effective. Sometimes sticking your finger in the pot only makes it worse.

Wu wei means - in Chinese - ‘doing nothing’. Although this sounds like a pleasant invitation to relax or worse, fall into laziness or apathy, this concept is key to the noblest kind of action, according to the philosophy of Daoism. This article continues: theschooloflife.com/article/wu-wei
You want your customer to crack open their wallets and give you their hard-earned cash? Then know them better than they know themselves. That's the only way you can give them what they want, and keep them coming back for more.

The Sami shaman's saw reindeer eating fly agaric, which grows under pine trees (where we put our gifts). Long story short. Why is #Santa flying in his sled pulled by reindeer? He's on a shamanic journey. And that is why #Santa is even cooler than you might have suspected.

I had the good fortune of hanging out with a group of strangers at a recent sober meetup. It's curious how easy it is to get along with strangers. Remember you don't need alcohol to let down your social inhibitions. Just jump in and go for it. You got this! #soberlife

Freelancers and solopreneurs, we’re like polynesian explorers trying to find our way to an island in a vast ocean(The Internet). What’s that island? A community that brings us business A dream customer that brings us repeat work Keep looking. They’re out there. #Freelancers
13) Naming – Offers will fatigue. So refresh with new creative. MAGIC formula: Make a magnetic reason Announce the avatar Give them a goal Indicate time interval Container word Pro tip: Rhyme and illiterate: Celebrity Butt Shortcut, Six-Pack Fast Track

12) Guarantees – Risk Reversal is the number one way to increase the conversion of an offer. Four types: Unconditional – The strongest. “Achieve X in Y time or we will…” Conditional – “Terms and conditions” Get VERY creative.

11) Bonuses – Bonuses expand the price-to-value discrepancy. An offer isn’t as compelling as the same offer broken into its component parts and stacked as bonuses. Tools and checklists are better than additional training. Make deals to promo other people’s services.

10) Scarcity – This poorly understood force is one of the most powerful reasons why they buy. Three types of scarcity. Limited supply of slots in general or over time – “Only accepting X clients” Limited supply of bonuses – “First 5 students get…” One Time Offer

8) Trim your list to the items that are high value, high cost. Customers will find a way to pay you $10k if they knew they’ll make $100k. If people aren’t willing to pay egregious amounts for the service, then you’ll never be able to get ahead in business.

7) Objection handling - List all objections in column A of a spreadsheet. ALL of them. Be exhaustive. In column B, flip the script. Col 1: Exercising regularly is boring. Col 2: Easy to follow exercise system that you’ll love doing every day.

6) How valuable is your offer? Hormozi’s Value Equation: (Dream Outcome x Perceived Likelihood of Achievement) Divided by (Time Delay x Effort & Sacrifice) The Highest perceived value = a service they desperately need done quickly and easily.

5) What’s your customer’s dream outcome? Future pacing is “why they buy.” Take their current pain and flip the script. For example: “I can’t find leads and am low on cash” becomes “Finding work is easy. Now I can build my savings.”

4) What pain/fear keeps your customer awake at night? Primal pain points: Health, wealth and relationships. Here are two things that bug your audience on an animal level: I can’t find leads and am low on cash. (Wealth/Survival) My knees and back are throbbing. (Health)

3) What do you do well that other people need badly? Offer what you love doing the most and, have gotten the best results at in the past. How will you increase your customer’s health or wealth? How can you make their love life better? Can you increase their prestige? #market

To build a great offer, start with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Market size, big to small: Physical - Survival - Health Safety and Security – Wealth Love/Belonging - Friends, Lovers and Tribe Self Esteem - Feel good about you. Self actualization - Luxuries #copywriting

Is your market starving? Bigger, better, faster and cheaper are not the key to success. A starving audience is critical Low supply for high demand offers = egregious amounts of money Niche down – Differentiate yourself so you are unique and scarce. #copywriting
