How To Make Your First $100K Online (Tiny Challenge) ft. Richmond Dinh | #TheDept Ep. 72

Would you rather make $100,000 helping 1,000 people, or would you rather make $100,000 helping 10 people, maybe even one person?

No one has ever been able to crack the code on how to scale one on one Coaching. The future of marketing is a demonstration of competency, and that's exactly what you're doing through this model here. I just did one a month ago and that was a $290,000 tiny challenge.

On today's podcast, we have Richmond Dinn, who's going to help you unlock your business and get you paid more people. Most people have this conception that you need a large audience, a large email list to make large money.

Tiny challenge is a challenge that's done one on one with just you and another person and that's it.

High level people, they want that intimacy.

The close rate is insanely high because there's so much reciprocity. And you can tailor your offer exactly to what they want and need because you know everything about them.

Is there any industry that it doesn't work for?

I really believe that probably in about two or three years time, it's just going to be the number one. Go to Framework to help someone make their very first dollar online, and then when they master it, their first 100k offer will be through a tiny challenge too. So.

Richmond in. Thank you for being on the department.

Thank you for having me.

I've heard incredible things about you and what you do for entrepreneurs and business owners, primarily from Myron golden himself. We went golfing a couple months ago and he said, dude, there's this guy who teaches this really cool way to sell high ticket offers or premium value offers. And I was like, what? And, and he said it's something called like tiny challenges. So.

I believe most of my audience are always wondering how they can sell their genius. And so you've been able to help multiple people in various different industries apply this thing, which is tiny challenges.

Yeah. Including Russell Brunson too. He ran two of them. He ran a thousand dollars each.

That's crazy. Okay.

Yeah.

Can you just define first and foremost from a, from a 30, 000ft square, you know, point of view, what is a tiny challenge?

Yeah, good, good question. Good question. So.

Or maybe let's just go Challenge.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

What's the challenge?

What's the challenge? Yeah, I mean, most people, it's funny you say that because most. Some people don't even know what a challenge is. Like, what challenge? Like a fitness challenge? Well, there's business challenges or do the content challenge and Marin does his make more office challenge. So I thought challenge is to be five days working with someone and it's in a group setting and there's one specific outcome and people do the homework and get the outcome through a five day challenge. Kind of like a fitness challenge, but more for our space. And so that's what a challenge is. But a tiny challenge is a challenge that's done one on one with just you and another person and that's it. And I know you're looking at it.

No.

Yeah. Like, who does that? Can you do that? Is it scalable? All that kind of stuff. It's the like, I mean you can run a challenge, you can run a webinar, you can run a masterclass, you can run a workshop, you can run all these other things. But a one on one challenge is the easiest challenge to get started in with the least amount of friction. You don't have to launch it. You don't have to have a big list. You only need one person, 100% show rate because it's all locked in the calls. Five calls, five days. Generally done over the five days. But you can do it over seven days if you want because sometimes the schedules don't align and it's just you don't have to have much experience to get started. It removes all the imposter. If you're a beginner and you don't know your offer, then it's the best place to get your offer down pat. If you don't know what your messaging is, you'll know your IHELP statement after the first three calls because you hear everything. And so from that point of view, it's great to get started. But also we can talk about the advanced version as well.

No, dude, it's so good. I'm just thinking because most people feel like they need. Most people have this conception that you need a large audience, a large email list to make large money.

Correct.

And. And if I sometimes I actually pause, even people in my inner circle, I say, hey, don't do a challenge. Like it might be too much to chew or to like attack, you know, because, because yeah, you don't want to sell five tickets. And like you said, one person shows up, now you're showing up discouraged. So all this, like all this mental hoops, which I think this is what is really cool about this solves all the problems. If on an internal standpoint and external standpoint and something that a light bulb came off to me and you probably know it is that.

Like.

Like high, like income, earners or high level people. They want that intimacy.

Yes. And so they don't want to be in a group challenge with everyone else. Like, they're a hype. Like, big player.

Yeah.

Like, like we're talking about Rick. Like, you know what I mean? He's not going to go in a big group challenge. Like, tiny challenge is perfect. Yeah.

So, okay, so, so, okay, so we defined what a tiny challenge was. It's a series of calls. Let's just boil.

Correct. It's a series of calls done over consecutive days, ideally one on one. Typically the gold standard is five calls over five days, one on one. The calls are about 45 minutes each. And you're taking through one specific outcome. Get to the end, present your offer, and then the close rate is insanely high because there's so much reciprocity. And you can tailor your offer exactly to what they want and need because you know everything about them.

So, okay, so how do you. Let's just go. How do you market and sell the tiny challenge?

Yeah, it's, it's so easy. I mean, you know, if you want to run an ad, I mean, you'd spend $30 because you only need one person. But so we don't say, like, don't. Why would you run an ad for just. It's organic traffic. You're the, you're the king of organic marketing, you know, and so it's just really putting out a call to action to your list and get someone to apply to work with you one on one. It can be free or it can be paid. I think if you're more at the starting phases, just, just do it for free or with a $97 fully refundable deposit that gets paid back at the end. It's just easier to fill up your first couple. But you can do a paid version as well. And you just do a call to action to your list, you'll get like, I mean, if you got 100 followers, you're going to get 10 people to put their hand up. And now you got the, you got the luxury of having to pick which one you want to do. Dude.

And I think something really cool is.

Like you said, just do it for free if you're starting out. One reason people need to do things for free when they're starting out is for the data. Like you said, the people just showing up on Zoom. People don't realize if, if the problem is in, you know, we all know the problem we're trying to, you know, solve. If it's very clear they're Just going to tell you all your future marketing language. They're going to tell you all the problems that they're really dealing with. You thought it was like the surface level thing, but it's like, oh, this is what they really need help with. And so no, I just, that's really good. Is there, is there any industry that it doesn't work for?

This is, this is great. Like I, I haven't figured out an industry that it hasn't worked for yet. Like people like, I'll give you an industry. So it definitely works for real estate agents and real estate industry, but the personal training industry, I feel like this is going to be the biggest innovation and to personal trainers because personal train their business model and you know, most of them are broke, right? And so their business model is you go to the gym and they'll approach you want a free 30 minute session. And so they'll give out free 30 minute personal training sessions. And at the end of it, if you like it, you might buy 10 sessions. And normally it's $80 a session and they'll buy 10, sell you 10 sessions for $600. And that's a broken model. They'll probably have to give out 10 free sessions to sell a $600 package. Imagine a personal trainer went to you and said, hey, I'm doing this one on one, five day challenge. Just one on one dude.

In a world where like one on one is, is actually a way to stand out right now.

100%. 100%. And so, I mean, if a person were trying to approach me at the gym, say I've got a one on one five day challenge with me, one on one, whether it's free or fully refundable, deposit, whatever it is. If they took me through that process or even like anyone through that process, they'll know everything that you've tried, what's not working, what are you not willing to do, where have you found what, what are your pain points, what are your goals, what are your, what are your sticking points? Everything, right? And then at the end they're not going to be offering a $600 program. They'll offer like 2, 3, 4, $5,000 thing for six months. Particularly if you're like a female saying, look, I can help you get back into that dress that you wanted to fit in again before you had kids that you've tried for the last six years. And now I know exactly why, if you like this, would you like more of the same? And they're going to be selling two $3,000 programs just like that. And if they do two tiny challenges, that's 10 sessions, they're going to convert at least one of them. They're going to be making two or 3,000 a week.

Yeah.

There'll be no more broke personal trainers from this model.

Yeah, dude, I'm, I'm, my brain is trying to break it, but I, it's also, it's if it's even scaling it, because that same person could do two in the same week.

Yes.

Yeah. You could do three in the same week.

Yeah, exactly.

If you're doing an hour or two hour zoom call.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly at the course, about 45 minutes. If you follow the framework, you'll get down pat to about 30 to 45 minutes. But, but even then, if they're an hour or two hours, it's. That's okay too. Yeah, yeah.

Just out of curiosity for the audience, because there are people that, they know that there's money to be made online. They know that they have a passion and they, they've helped people in the past and they've never charged for it. But like, how do you encourage people to know who they're called or supposed to serve?

Yeah, this, and this is the best thing about a tiny challenge. So for example, if you're like, oh, you know, I could do corporate women, I could do single moms, but I also could do like, you know, women of abuse, maybe they could be all those three categories. They're a corporate woman, they're a single mom, they're. They're a victim of abuse. And I guess do three tiny challenges on each avatar and guarantee after that you will know who you want to serve. Like your niche will find you through the model.

Yeah. Okay.

It's in safe. You don't have to run this big group challenge. Fill it up, no one shows up. And then if it bombs and you have to wait another month because it's not like you can run it again tomorrow. Right. And this just allows you to find your niche through the framework.

That's good. And I just want to like where this fits in your business model. Listener or watcher is this is what you call the vehicle, the sales vehicle, Right? Yes. It doesn't matter what business you have, you must have a vehicle that puts, I mean, you can use the word vehicle, you could use the word room, you can use the word environment, but you need to reverse engineer the environment people have, are in or have gone through when they hear your. Your actual offer.

Correct.

And this is why the challenge, the challenge, generally speaking, has Worked really well for me is because I just decided that this was going to be the vehicle. Now some people can do just 15 minute discovery calls.

Yes.

But when, when you're talking like one of the best ways to sell your genius is to do it in such a high value exchange where people are, it's not about over delivering but it is about like I got way more value than whatever the price was paid or if it was free, you know.

Yeah, reciprocity is huge. Like huge reciprocity. And, and I think that's, that's underrated. Like hard work is underrated, but the reciprocity is huge. And if they, if you do sign up, you get a raving fan from the go and if they don't sign up, you still get a raving fan. So either way you are creating raving fans whether they sign up with you or not. And so you're right about the vehicle though because you can't just, you can't just have a website book a free discovery call. That's not going to happen. You actually need a proper vehicle. And discovery calls, you know, they're very discouraging I think. And you, if you, you have to do at least a dozen discovery calls, particularly when you're starting out, maybe to get one sale, but use the two tiny challenges and you'll, you get a high ticket sale very quickly.

Yeah, could you talk through.

Yeah.

Our friend Ricky Carruth, who is like a real estate coach, walk through how you helped him unlock this because I know his journey. He's, he's reached mass audiences, low ticket monthly communities, making tons of money, which he's killing it. But he, he was like, man, there's something about this whole challenge high, you know, high premium value offer thing. Yeah, yeah.

So, yeah, so for his level I said okay, probably do a paid tiny challenge, like I mean, and charge quite a lot for it. So he put out a call to action. He charged $2,000 for it. And because he's got such a warm list, got so many people work with me, one on one, five day challenge, $2,000. That's like, pick me, pick me, pick me. Like that's, that's a still like imagine Myron did that because he would never do that. But you know, and so it was an IR offer, one on one tiny challenge, five days for 2000. And at the end of it, the first one he did, he pitched the 25k and they just said yes, like that. And then, and then he did another one and he pitched 100. His first 100k offer and they just said, yes, like that. So the people who go through a one on one tiny challenge, extremely committed and that's why the close rate's so high. So like we go back to the personal training example. If you got approached at the gym by personal training, said, hey, would you like to do a five day one on one challenge for me? You got to be ready to go all in. Yeah, I don't really feel like getting my ass kicked today. You know, like, like, you know, you've got to be really, really ready that week to really push hard, otherwise you're not going to do it. So the commitment is a lot higher. And so from that aspect, that's why he did it. And it was just basically belief being in the right room. Yeah.

Did you help him at all with that 100k offer?

No, no, I didn't, I didn't.

He just lobbed out the number.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know exactly. I don't know if, you know, I don't know if exactly he knew what was going to be in it. And that's when I sold my first few hundred K offers. For me, it was like, well, I don't know exactly what's going to be the deliverables. I knew the outcome, which is like a 10x guarantee, but I didn't know how I was going to deliver it. And so the delivery was so good. Yeah, exactly.

No, I think people just feel like it needs to be dialed.

No.

Yeah, it's like it, it actually is. It's how I've even discovered what I'm going through. It's like, let's just put it out there. People say yes. It's like, oh, okay.

Yes.

And just so you know, if you think somebody isn't faking it, they probably are or they have at one point for a long period of time.

Yes.

So like, that's good. And I don't like to say, I won't say the word faking it's, but like, just, just throw the offer out there. Omar, what's an offer? It's, it's a, a promised transformation or outcome with a price attached to it. And, and so, yeah. Can you talk to the mental, emotional cycle that you went through to get to a place where you're like, okay, I'm going to charge 100k for this.

Yeah, well, this is, this is. Well, there's a story for that because I had dinner with Myron and this was around October last year and at Russell's Inner Circle. Okay.

And so is it Here in Vegas.

In Boise. In Boise.

Oh, yeah, because he did one in. Was that September? He was okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And. And so we're. We're at, you know, at Russell's Inner Circle. And there you. You go, present, you know, something valuable to the room. It's a mastermind. But also at the end of it, like, what's your biggest problem in your business right now? And for me, it was just getting people to shop to my events, like, increasing shop rates. And then Myron's like, richmond, what's your value ladder? And I showed him my value ladder. We got a 1k, we got a 25k, and it's a very simple model. It got us to $6 million last year. And that's. That's it done, right? And it's like, where's your 100k offer? Like, no, no, I just want to help. Help me increase our shop rates. Like, I don't want 100k offer. I don't need 100k off. This is the value model that's generated millions. Millions means. And it's simple and it's scalable. And I just couldn't fathom that. And so it was really getting to me. And then. And then, funnily enough, I caught an Uber to dinner that night with Eileen. And then Eileen's like, richmond, how come you don't have a 100k offer? And I'm like, what is going on here now? Now Eileen's in my ear about 100k offer. So we had dinner that night, and then Myron just wouldn't let it go. And so he played this hundred dollar game with me. And I'll show you the video later. It's really cool. And that game, I lost. And it was the best lesson that I ever had because I realized the value of my worth after that game. And that night, I messaged a person who I thought maybe would take upon the 100k offer. Her name's Kaylee. And I said, hey, Kaylee, I've got a 100k offer for you.

But I'll tell you more about tomorrow. And she's like, no, no, no, tell me now. Like, all right, I'll tell you now.

Dude, you're giving us the copy and paste text right now.

It is, it is. This is like this. You watch this and you do that. And it was just. And then she wanted to know, obviously, you know, I just did a bit of a cheeky kind of dm. So tell me, tell me now. I was like, how much do you trust me? He said, I trust with everything because we know each other a very long time. Yeah. She's a raving fan. I helped her get to $3 million, you know, and, and I said, okay, cool. I just need you to wire me to deposit now and 10,000 down and I'll tell you more about the offer tomorrow. But I did not know what was going to be in it. And here's what I learned. Wow. The moment that happened. Creativity precedes commitment.

Say that again.

Creativity precedes commitment. You can only become creative if you commit first. And what? The moment you commit to 100k offer or whatever it is, you start brainstorming in your mind of how am I going to do this, what I'm going to put in it, what's going to be in it. And then my mind could not stop that night because I had just been transferred this $10,000 for this first 100k offer.

Wow.

And now I was just. Otherwise, if I had not sold that or committed to it, I wouldn't be up all night thinking, what's going to be in it? But because the fact that it's real now and it's done then, but that's, that's for everything. Like what? The moment you commit to writing a book, the moment you commit to a UBI Channel, like, just do that first one and suddenly you start thinking, okay, what else I need to do? What else? What else? What else you have to commit first.

Could I, could I challenge you with something?

Yeah.

If somebody's thinking to themselves, like, isn't that a scam? Isn't that like scamming people that you.

Sold or something where that's a good challenge? Yeah.

What would you say to that?

Well, first of all, I knew the outcome. I knew, like, okay, I'm gonna, I'm guaranteed. I knew the outcome. I'm gonna guarantee you a million dollar return. And I knew I could do that because, I mean, I already did it with her anyway. Yeah. But also we've done it with ourselves. And I know that I'm a good person, meaning that I would do whatever it takes to help it get the outcome really good. The only reason why Tiny Challenge was born because I've been up so obsessed with getting our students results. Yeah. And originally we were teaching them kind of like group challenges like we've been. And then like, you know, they were struggling. It was overwhelming. How do I fill it up? No one's showing up. Then I had to learn the skill of tech and speaking and selling one to many and, you know, Facilitating a room. And it's so hard for them. And I thought like, there has to be an easier way. And so when you're, when, when someone's struggling, it's not, it's usually not the.

It'S not them. And I say that, you know, obviously you've got to take responsibility, but it's because they, they haven't been taught the fundamental like components of what's going to work. Like you always got to break things down to the lowest common denominator when you're teaching someone things. And so otherwise they're not going to be able to graft it and become successful. And that's partly how the tiny challenge is born because I was thinking what's the lowest common denominator that they need to do for them to make money online? And so I'm just obsessed with student results. And I know that about me. And so I don't like, I put it upon myself really hard to get our students results. And that, that's, that's my personal integrity. Yeah.

Which is great.

Yeah.

Something I've learned as a believer is like I had to get really good at sales, marketing, offer creation and calling people to a higher place because, because people who didn't have integrity were doing that. People who didn't have character were doing it. And it's like, who's wrong here? You know, like no one will know because it's on the other side is what really matters. And so that's correct. That's why getting really good at language and the words. That's like the first thing I did was I jumped at your like DM text. I'm like, there's words right there like that you can copy paste that. Hey, I have a. Maybe it's not 100k, maybe it's 25k.

Yeah, it's fine. Yeah.

But it's there, there is so much, there's compassion in that. It's like I want to help you.

Yes.

And you know, and there is a two sided street when charging higher prices. And it's, it's, it's so that people when, when they pay, they pay attention. When they pay more, they pay more attention. So it's really good. I, I just wanted. Because I just know there's skeptics, you know, for sure.

And I, I mean, you know, unfortunately not everyone has integrity.

Sure.

And everyone has probably been scammed at some point in their life. And you know, you paid the money and they're suddenly they ran off. And you know, that happened to us one time with A holiday. We paid for a holiday. Company went like, silent on us. Like, this is a travel agent. Like, where did. Now we have to pay for another holiday. Like, so if you're a highly integral person and you got high character, then I believe when you commit first. Because the thing about congruency, right? So congruency happens when you commit to a promise or commit to an outcome. And then it's like, oh, my gosh, now I've got to step into that identity because I just promised someone that. So you got kids like you, you know, you promise your daughter, I'll be there at 3 o', clock, and it's like, oh, I forgot I had something on. But you have to be there at 3 o'. Clock. So you make it happen. So.

You know, and sometimes you don't even know your schedule, but you got to make. You got to fulfill on your promises, right? And if that's the person you are, then, yeah, you don't need full clarity on your offer.

Good. Say that one more time, just for the people in the back. You don't need.

You don't need full clarity on your offer. The funny thing is, even if you did, when you fulfill an offer, it always changes how you deliver anyway. Yeah. Yeah.

I think it's just because what most people, we're all perfectionists. Like, when I put myself out there because I was making videos on, like, gear for a long time, people know me a lot for, like, how to set up a studio and all that stuff. And I was able to put all my chips on the gear and the brands and, like, that was what I was selling. But then when I started selling, like, me, I. It was like, all on me. And it was a very emotional, you know, crazy thing because now I need to be. I need to sell myself. And in a weird way, I had a friend tell me, like, omar, this is going to sound really weird, but you need to feel yourself not in. Like, that sounds really weird, but like, bro, you're. You're the goat. So, like, act like it. Sell yourself. Like, no one's. No one's gonna, you know, no one's gonna be confident in trusting you with their money if you don't sound like you're the best decision, you know? And so. But I say all that to say that, like, we, We. We get with that. What would that be to you, like, worth for you?

And that's what you can do in a tiny challenge. Yeah, you can literally ask them. Okay, well, if you don't have any clarity in your offer, you're like, hey, well, if I was to offer you a $10,000 offer or $20,000 offer, what would need to be in it for you to say yes? And then they'll tell you, and you're like, I can do that, you know, so good.

Okay, you broke down like, or you didn't break it down yet. I want you to break it down. Yeah, you said like, you, you structure these calls for like 45 minutes.

Yeah.

Okay. Can you break down that structure?

Easy. Yeah. The first core is the most important that sets the tone for the whole tiny challenge. And so the first call, we go through the 4F framework, which is you gotta, so you open the call, you know, you build some rapport. But the four Fs is number one. You want to elicit their future. So where they want to be in the next five days with you over this challenge, but what's their goal, what's the outcome? And what will be a great outcome? But also 12 months from now, if we were sitting down, having a coffee together and you'd like to report to me what happened in the last 12 months, what would you like to say? And so now we know the future. Dig deeper. Why is that important to you? All those kind of questions. The second thing is we want to know what their frustrations are. So what's getting in the way? What are the roadblocks? What, what are you struggling with? Like, I mean, what's your biggest problem right now on getting that goal? And then the third F is where have they failed in the past? That's important. What are they willing to try? What are they not willing to try? Are they in another coaching program? Have they been, you know, have they been scammed or, you know, know a bit about their history and that would tell you more about their skepticisms or their willingness or their hunger. And then the fourth F is what are their fears? So any limiting beliefs getting in the way, any hesitations, you do that call in the first 45 minutes, you know everything about them and you already know what to offer them.

Wow.

Like, that's, that's, that's how powerful it is. You know, your I help statement, you know the messaging, you know, you, you know so much about them and then you say, well, at the end of the call, great, awesome. So here's what we're going to do over the next five days. I'm going to go through this three step framework to help you reach this five, five day goal that you're looking at. We're also going to do this and at the end of it, if you're loving it and you don't want to, you know, you know, like, continue working with me, would it be okay with you by present to you what a 12 month offer might look like? And everyone says yes. And you know, that's, that's how you structure. And then day two, day three, day four, you go through the content, assign some homework and then, and then do the offer on call four or call five.

Hey, department fam. Wanted to take a brief break from this conversation. I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am. And the first thing I wanted to talk about is that, did you know that 75% of the people that watch this podcast on YouTube actually aren't subscribed, which is a high chance that you're not subscribed. So number one, I want to say thank you for listening or watching the podcast. And number two, if you can hit that subscribe button, that would be amazing. The second thing is if you are an entrepreneur, content creator or somebody looking to make money online, I want to encourage you to come to this online event called the Content to Cash Challenge. This is a special five day event that's going to give you access to the system I use in my business to make multiple, multiple six figures with my content. If you've been desiring to either get your business and brand more exposure, grow a YouTube channel, whatever it is, when it comes to video, I would encourage you to jump into the Content to Cash Challenge.

This will give you access to a 1 hour Q& A call every day of the challenge. This will guarantee myself to answer a personalized question you may have. So I'll see you on the Content to cast challenge. Now let's jump back into the conversation. So good. Okay. And then.

What would you say that I, I have a guy in my program who teaches leather workers like how to, how to draw on leather and create patterns on, for belts and stuff. And they do a challenge. It's like the drawing challenge.

Yeah. And I think I saw that. That's so cool. So many different challenges. Right?

Like.

I'm just, I just want to. Because I, again, I'm just trying to break it because now, now this is somebody who like needs demonstration and like, you know, if we're doing it virtually, like have you helped somebody do it where there is an element of doing. Like if I were to Do. Let's just say if I were to do it. How about. Let's just do that.

Yeah. Yeah.

It's like let's dial in your content studio for. In your office.

Yeah.

And we'll do that in five days and then we'll come up with the next 10 YouTube ideas that should work for you. We'll come up with your lead magnets and we'll do all of that in five days.

Yeah. What?

I guess, I guess, I guess the thing is like why would somebody feel like they're down to continue if, if you help them accomplish something like that?

Yeah. Well, that this is the key you need to elicit their 12 month goal because otherwise you're not stretching the gap and otherwise going to leave. Oh wow, you did such a great job with these five days. I don't need you anymore. But hang on a sec. They've got this 12 month goal. So that's, that's the key there. Number one. And at the end of the day, if you can't change someone's life in five days, you know that. And so, so that's, that's number one, stretch the gap there. And number two, listen to what they're saying. Like they're telling you what they want but also telling you what they need. And perhaps maybe your offer is not matching exactly to what they want or need. And so be flexible with your offer. If you already got a pre, like, you know, got offer that's already been selling. But just be flexible and think about how can I create this or even change the messaging to hit the mark with that person. Sometimes a change in message in the same offer makes all the difference. Like you know, 100. Yeah.

And it's so good. Do you, do you have a story where you put yourself out there and you tried something and then you threw an offer out there and nobody bought 100%.

This is when I was, this when I started. So it's funny, back, back before COVID days. Yeah. Everyone's doing events, like live events in your local area. People come down and that was the model. There was nothing virtual, there was no zoom, all that kind of stuff. This was about eight years ago and I had an event and I had 80 people there, which is like in hindsight, how do I get 80 people to this? I don't even know how. Like a live room.

Yeah.

And I was like, I'm excited. And back then I had a fifteen hundred dollar offer.

Okay.

And pitched it thinking this is going to be so good. Table rush. And no one, no one Ran to the back. It was so embarrassing. It was.

Yeah. I mean I was. That was definitely a low point. But. But it made me get better. So.

Good.

Yeah.

What looking back now, what did you overlook or not do or what did you do that ruined it?

Yeah. Good, good, good. Question number one is market research. Like, and Myron talks about this a lot like, you know, positioning is more important than presentation and understanding exactly what they need to to get the market to message match. And my offer just didn't match the needs of what they wanted in the room. So that's step number one. Step number two is taking them through.

How do I say this? Like friend zoning. Right. I. You know, like in the dating scene, the moment your friend zone someone, it is game over.

Yeah.

And I believe there's a correlation between you wanting to please and your ability to sell. And they are inverse. And the more you want to please someone, the less likely you're going to be able to sell them. And so for me, I was a massive pleaser. I wanted everyone's acceptance and so I would just, you know, and people can feel that. And so I really had to work on myself internally to get rid of that pleaser so that I could really serve someone and sell. Makes a big difference.

It's really good. And then.

What have you done to get better at selling?

Yeah, so I used to success resources as a company which does like multi speaker events and all that kind of stuff like that. And I would crew and my first coach, Scott, so he run big events and I would crew for him for free and all these big events for free. And when I go crew there, I said I want to be on the sales table. And so I would literally go work for free for these companies who are selling like stage rush stuff. But let me crew and let me be around the sales. So I just immerse myself around selling and I watch how they sell, handle objections, take payments, close the deals, sign the contracts, all that kind of stuff. And I just did that for two years. That. And that's how I learned because I knew I had to be good at this or be great at it. And I just surround myself with just salespeople.

Why do you think people believe sales is like.

I don't want, I don't want. I don't know. They get, they have a. They say sales is sleazy or icky.

Yeah, it's the conditioning, you know, it's a conditioning of that used car salesman and all that kind of stuff. But also the wrong people are getting the sales and that's the thing, like, you know, anyone can sell. And unfortunately we're talking about integrity and character before and, you know, everyone's been burnt by someone who doesn't have integrity. And so it's just history of cultural conditioning, but also their past references as well and what happened to them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, the reality is, is you have to get good at it. Yes. Or else we'll have 80 persons, 80 people show up to a zoom call or in person event and nobody will buy.

Yeah. And you know the book by Cialdini, Influence? Yeah, it's a great book. And he goes through the seven laws of influence, and one of them is reciprocity. And reciprocity is, in my opinion, the greatest law of influence. And so through a challenge. That's why challenges work so well, because reciprocity is so high. So you don't even really need to learn how to sell that well with all the other techniques if you use reciprocity. And that's why a tiny challenge, you know, for people starting out and they don't really know how to sell, but the reciprocity is huge. That does the selling for you so good.

Yeah. It's made my life easier.

Yes.

And the thing is, like, I, when I was creating content for another channel, I didn't, I was blissfully just delivering value. Like, I, I, there was nothing in exchange. I was just happy to do it and just, you know, make other people's life easier.

Yeah.

But it's funny, when you prioritize making other people's life easier, it becomes much easier for people to buy from you.

100 on, on that point, I'm not a fan of sales scripts. And, you know, I, I don't really, you know, we don't really teach that. I'd rather give a philosophy. So the number one thing in sales is intention. And you just have the right intention and everything flows from there. And so people can feel like what you're saying, like, you know, just give, give, give. But if you have the intention to take their money, then people can feel that as well. So setting the intention is the most important thing. Everything becomes easy after that.

So good. If I'm not mistaken, I think Myron told me that you, you, you can sell tickets to your tiny challenge, if I'm not mistaken, so people can watch the process.

Correct. This is. Okay, so this is crazy. Yes. And maybe even for the person doing the, Was it the crafting that you're talking about?

Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. So 100 years of coaching, since coaching's been around for over 100 years now. No one has ever been able to crack the code on how to scale one on one coaching. So the problem with the tiny challenge is it's one on one, five days, unscalable. And everyone's like, how do you scale that? And initially it's like, well, you can't. You. You master tiny challenges. You understand your niche, your messaging, your offer. Everything's proven and validated now. And then you go to group, but you don't even need to do that. So this is how you scale one on one coaching. And I've done this. Like, I mean, I just did one a month ago, and that was a $290,000 tiny challenge. So I picked a person and I said, hey, I'm coaching one on one. But. And I gave her an irresistible offer and kind of like what rick did, like $2,000, five calls, one on one.

Like, dude, I literally am like, if I showed up because I'm not a fan of selling on social media, like, you know, have something that you get people off the platform and then, you know, deliver. Maybe it's low ticket or something. But I kind of have no problem saying I want to help one person next week.

Yeah, it's like, like a thousand, two thousand, five thousand, whatever.

I know, yeah.

Five calls, five day challenge. And so.

Now I. So I did that. I picked a person. I said, now I'm going to help her build out her perfect tiny challenge. And I said to her, look, I'm going to give you a great offer on the caveat that you allow me to have people in the same zoom room and shadow and watch me coach you one on one. I'm not, I'm not coaching them. It's not a group coaching call. I'm coaching you one on one. But I want them to have value from it because they're going to get so much value from seeing me coach you and transform your business. And they're going to take notes, apply it to the business. At the end, I'll break it down on exactly what I did, why I did it, and I'll allow some Q A at the end. And so we, for that one there, we sold 197 shadow seats. And then they came in, they watched, they were blown away. They're like, wow. And then at the end, obviously, when you pitch your offer, you're not pitching to one person. You're pitching to 100 people.

Yeah.

And that's how you scale one on one coaching. I believe that the future of marketing is a Demonstration of competency. And that's exactly what you're doing through this model here.

Yeah, dude. So good.

Yeah.

When it comes to, like, the payment part, I mean, just how do you make that part, like, not awkward?

Yeah. You mean, like, like, how do you take pain on a sales page or something like that?

Yeah, yeah. Like, when you're saying, like, okay, so here's the offer. Do you do, like, the deposit thing? Do you talk that through or do you, like, hand them off once they say yes?

Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I know it's so many different processes like this. For us, it's pretty simple because a lot of them, like, they've already paid $97 to be there. And so it's a paid challenge. This is like the easiest, least friction way to get paid. It's like, would you like me to charge the card on file? Okay, that's it.

Good.

That. Boom. We don't want to send it to a page or anything. Like, we have all that. Some people that, oh, can you show me the page? And you know, they want to read it. That's cool. But it's like, would you like me to charge. If you'd like me to charge a card on file right now? A thousand, five thousand, whatever it is. Boom. Because you got that card on file. Yeah, it's on stripe. Whatever.

Really good. Yeah, dude, Fire. Do you who's another person you've helped recently that, like, their win excited you? Yeah.

Well, Russell's probably the biggest one. I mean, he ran two tiny challenges. $100,000 each, and he charged $100,000 for it.

So $100,000 to work with him one.

On one for five days. Yeah. Tiny challenge. And then. And then he was going to pitch a 250k offer at the back end of it, but then he decided not to do it. He's like, oh, you know, this was enough. Like, if you're charging 100 grand for a five day tiny challenge. And so he just. He just didn't. He didn't want to pitch a VIP to the K offer.

Because here's what happens. People feel like because they're only helping one person, they're limiting their. Maybe they feel like they're wasting their time.

Yeah.

And there's a girl in my group who's like, I just. She does real estate and she's killing it on, like, her. The way she does home tours on her phone, like, doing 100k months in her real estate business. She's crushing. And she wants to mentor other women. And there's like, this desire in her to want to start off with all the, you know, like, just a handful of people, when. I mean, my thing for her is like, just beta test whatever you want to do. Just beta test it. There's nothing wrong with just trying things. Put it out there. I think what I think I'm getting from the tiny challenge is this is such a good. Put it out there.

Yeah.

But can you speak to somebody who's like. Because I. I like helping less people. People would think that I have thousands of people that have given me their credit cards and they're taking my courses. Like, no, I've worked with a couple hundred people last year, made over a million dollars. And so. But yeah, can you just, like, explain, like, to kill the desire to feel like you need to sell a lot of something?

I. I agree with that. You have 100 loyal writing fans. You will be on seven figures for the rest of your life because they're the people who just always vouch for you, and that's all you need. And even, like, you know, your. Your channel, your views are so high compared to, like, your subscribers. I. I see people with, like, millions of followers, and they're like, they don't have their 100 fans. Yeah. You know, and so get your 100. Focus on quality, not quantity, because we live in a world where vanity, you know, that's kind of the metric, but it shouldn't be because, like, I mean, what really matters is how much, like, how much you're impacting the 100 people around you, and you're making really, really good income from that. Like, just. You do that one person at a time. And even if you do it through a tiny challenge, you'll get to your 100 law fans very, very quickly.

Dude, so good.

So what.

What. What's your. What's your business called?

Point One. That's my mastermind.

Yeah, it's your mastermind.

Yeah. Yeah. Point one.

What is. Yeah. What's the focus in the mastermind yet?

The mastermind number one. I believe there's a. There's a hidden force which I call the eighth wonder, and that governs everything in your life. Your how you. How you dress, what you believe, what you value, what you focus on, what sports you play, what you eat, everything. And that's proximity. So who you spend time with governs every direction that you go to. And that's why we. We hang around like mentors and, you know, cool people. Right. And so that governs it. And your parent. And you know that when your child comes home with a particular friend, they're either happy or they're not.

Yeah, right.

And so the environment is everything. So the eighth one is this force that governs everywhere you go. You cannot, it's impossible for you to. I guess if you're hanging around, you know, 10 overweight people, you're going to become overweight. If they're vegan, you're going to become vegan. If they play golf, you're going to play. That's how I started golf because my friends were playing golf. Like I got to get into this. Yeah. If all your friends are earning seven figures, it's a matter of time you are going to earn seven figures. And so Point one is a mastermind of high achieving entrepreneurs who are striving for like six to seven figure mark. And when we put people in there, they hit the mark because of sheer proximity. And that's how rick sold his 100k offer. Not because I helped him with the 100k offer, but because he was hanging around with me for so long and it's like I can do 100k offer now because they get the belief because you always become who you spend time and that's how I started hanging out with Myron. Yeah, it's like you hang out with Myron enough, you're going to see start to sell. Andre, by the way, we saw our first million dollar offer.

Which is insane. Yeah, it's insane because I'm not there to compute it quite yet.

But the thing is like I have friends that have invested a million dollars in a one year coaching program and it, it paid off. Like they broke through a ceiling in their business that they were stuck at for three years and they were able to 5x that investment in the first year and then now you have that information for the rest of your life. Yes, but yeah, okay, so you sold a million dollar offer.

Only because I was hanging around with Myron. You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Hang around with him for four days and you know, on the yacht and stuff and after that it's like was.

This like a company like or an organization or was it like just a person?

Like was it, it was a person. Yeah, they're just couple entrepreneur. They're, they're making eight figures a year. So.

You know, it's just, it's just insane. Like. No. Yeah.

Dude, that's crazy. So eight years as an entrepreneur. In your eighth year, you got to the place. Let's just say seven years you got to a place where you, you got the confidence to charge $100,000 for your offer. And then in your eighth year, a million dollars. This is what's really cool. You know the Alex Rosi's here in Vegas and he does this scaling workshop here.

Yep.

And they really focus on the, like, the problem in your business. Like it's very problem aware 5k workshop.

Yeah.

Just to get you to feel like what I'm look what we're missing out on, you know. And one of the things that they point out is key man risk, which is if, if, if we're building a business that's built around our brains, and if we're not prioritizing SOPs and systems, then when we're out, the business is out. My thing is all businesses have pros and cons, profitability, whatever. But building a business from your brain is one of the most high profit business models on the planet. Yes. And.

Something that's very enlightening is that some people would have.
