  • 00:00:00
    work less earn more enjoy life that's my
  • 00:00:03
    motto that's my value proposition if you
  • 00:00:06
    were to go to my website and success is
  • 00:00:10
    counterintuitive and that motto has
  • 00:00:13
    brought me the most growth in my life by
  • 00:00:16
    living by that motto because working
  • 00:00:18
    less and forcing myself to try to work
  • 00:00:22
    less and build Solutions so that I can
  • 00:00:25
    work less rather than just be like oh
  • 00:00:27
    you can't work two to four hours a day
  • 00:00:30
    you can only work eight hours a day it's
  • 00:00:31
    like no I can work as much as I [ __ ]
  • 00:00:33
    want to if I build the systems that
  • 00:00:35
    allow me to do that and it's just
  • 00:00:37
    obvious working less leads to higher
  • 00:00:41
    quality rest or more rest which leads to
  • 00:00:43
    higher quality work and so myself and
  • 00:00:47
    others that are on this whole four hour
  • 00:00:49
    work day kick are usually producing
  • 00:00:51
    better work than most of the people that
  • 00:00:53
    are working 12 to 16 hours a day just
  • 00:00:56
    being the hustle and grind entrepreneur
  • 00:00:58
    that is a bit too promoted on social
  • 00:01:02
    media so it's worth less but earn more
  • 00:01:04
    earning more is subjective it's up to
  • 00:01:07
    the individual right I would say that
  • 00:01:10
    most people want to earn more but they
  • 00:01:13
    want to do it doing what they enjoy so
  • 00:01:15
    that's another thing that I live by
  • 00:01:16
    another rule where I have to build I
  • 00:01:19
    have to create a way for myself to do
  • 00:01:21
    that and not just expect it to fall into
  • 00:01:24
    my lap so earning more is subjective but
  • 00:01:26
    over time I truly do believe that anyone
  • 00:01:29
    that has the dedication or at least the
  • 00:01:32
    will or want and consistency to do what
  • 00:01:36
    they enjoy for the rest of their life
  • 00:01:39
    and make a good income doing it they can
  • 00:01:41
    do that why wouldn't they be able to and
  • 00:01:43
    then the last part of the motto is enjoy
  • 00:01:46
    life and that is usually a byproduct of
  • 00:01:49
    both of working less resting more
  • 00:01:51
    earning more and just having the time
  • 00:01:53
    and location freedom to be able to do
  • 00:01:55
    what you choose to do with your life
  • 00:01:58
    that's what I'm all about and it's so
  • 00:02:00
    weird when I see people in the comments
  • 00:02:02
    or other things like challenging this
  • 00:02:04
    notion it's like dude like do you just
  • 00:02:07
    believe that you have no [ __ ] control
  • 00:02:08
    over your life like yeah you're not
  • 00:02:10
    gonna have it right now it takes some
  • 00:02:12
    time I could go on about this all day
  • 00:02:13
    but like dude like just believe in
  • 00:02:17
    yourself as simple as that sounds just
  • 00:02:19
    like
  • 00:02:20
    work towards a better future for
  • 00:02:22
    yourself but the thing is I also fell
  • 00:02:24
    into the Trap of wanting to live the
  • 00:02:26
    life of other people beachfront views
  • 00:02:29
    and the sand in my toes and a tan like
  • 00:02:31
    David Hasselhoff and sipping Coconuts on
  • 00:02:35
    the Beach while working from my laptop
  • 00:02:37
    and that was until I experienced that
  • 00:02:40
    life I'm not here to kind of [ __ ] on the
  • 00:02:42
    digital Nomad culture I think it's great
  • 00:02:45
    I really do think it's great but like
  • 00:02:47
    who wants to do that it kind it gets old
  • 00:02:49
    very quick where you're trying to work
  • 00:02:51
    on the beach and you can't even see your
  • 00:02:54
    screen because the glare from the sun
  • 00:02:56
    and it gets too hot and you have to
  • 00:02:58
    reapply sunscreen and you're like I'm
  • 00:03:00
    [ __ ] thirsty I'd rather just be
  • 00:03:01
    inside working and so I don't know that
  • 00:03:04
    kind of stuff it's like yeah you have to
  • 00:03:06
    go through trial and error to understand
  • 00:03:07
    what you want you have to figure out
  • 00:03:09
    what you don't want in order to figure
  • 00:03:10
    out what you want but you have to
  • 00:03:12
    understand that the the glamor and the
  • 00:03:14
    different Lifestyles that people promote
  • 00:03:16
    it's for it's dopamine right you're
  • 00:03:18
    you're seeing something that you want
  • 00:03:19
    and then one once you achieve it if you
  • 00:03:21
    don't appreciate it and make it a part
  • 00:03:23
    of your life then that is going to fade
  • 00:03:26
    very quickly the Wi-Fi connection in
  • 00:03:29
    those areas gets old the partying and
  • 00:03:31
    the language barrier and doing the
  • 00:03:32
    things that you see on social media as a
  • 00:03:34
    highlight reel they really do get old
  • 00:03:36
    and so the purpose of this video I want
  • 00:03:39
    to talk about moderation and
  • 00:03:42
    sustainability because we just talked
  • 00:03:44
    about how some of those things or at
  • 00:03:45
    least the Glamorous things are not truly
  • 00:03:48
    sustainable so I want to present a
  • 00:03:50
    business model that allows you to create
  • 00:03:53
    your ideal lifestyle through practice
  • 00:03:55
    experimentation and iteration it's a way
  • 00:03:58
    to make a creative income source with
  • 00:04:01
    your skills interests and expertise but
  • 00:04:04
    it's not limited to people that already
  • 00:04:06
    have those things business in the modern
  • 00:04:09
    day with social media and the internet
  • 00:04:11
    and it being so accessible and low
  • 00:04:13
    startup costs you don't have to pay
  • 00:04:15
    money to post something online and ask
  • 00:04:18
    for money in exchange for a valuable
  • 00:04:21
    service like a freelance service or
  • 00:04:23
    Consulting service or even just a
  • 00:04:24
    coaching caller something that is very
  • 00:04:27
    beginner level that you can then build
  • 00:04:29
    up and increase from there as you gain
  • 00:04:31
    experience and so it's kind of A New
  • 00:04:33
    Path it's a new business model because
  • 00:04:35
    of all the technological advancements
  • 00:04:37
    but the thing is is that people still
  • 00:04:39
    consider it taboo because they aren't in
  • 00:04:41
    the game it hasn't been around for that
  • 00:04:43
    long but it's here to stay you're going
  • 00:04:45
    if you decide to pursue this way of like
  • 00:04:48
    social media and digital products and
  • 00:04:50
    Digital Services and all these things
  • 00:04:52
    that are growing and growing over time
  • 00:04:54
    there's some statistic about the
  • 00:04:56
    education industry increasing by XYZ and
  • 00:04:59
    you understand that I am an educator
  • 00:05:01
    whether I like to label myself as that
  • 00:05:04
    or not uh every single person on YouTube
  • 00:05:07
    that is a value Creator rather than an
  • 00:05:09
    entertainment Creator is an educator
  • 00:05:11
    they are teachers this is a new method
  • 00:05:15
    of Education that college and formal
  • 00:05:18
    institutions cannot keep up with because
  • 00:05:20
    because their curriculum cannot be
  • 00:05:21
    updated to match
  • 00:05:23
    something that isn't going to put them
  • 00:05:25
    into a job because the school system and
  • 00:05:28
    just corporate government stuff is all
  • 00:05:31
    tied together they're training into one
  • 00:05:33
    another and so the internet it threatens
  • 00:05:35
    that because it gives the individual the
  • 00:05:38
    power to make a creative income on their
  • 00:05:40
    own and so the education around that
  • 00:05:42
    from individuals on social media and
  • 00:05:46
    course platforms and other things you
  • 00:05:47
    know where they are the school system
  • 00:05:49
    just can't keep up with that so that's
  • 00:05:51
    the main thing is it is completely in
  • 00:05:53
    your hands and if you do not like that
  • 00:05:54
    if you do not value self-reliance or
  • 00:05:57
    personal responsibility or just taking
  • 00:05:58
    control of your own life then this isn't
  • 00:06:00
    for you yet until you come to the
  • 00:06:03
    realization that if you want true
  • 00:06:04
    happiness those are going to have to
  • 00:06:05
    become values of yours so if you're
  • 00:06:08
    watching this or listening to this I'm
  • 00:06:10
    assuming that you're between 18 and 35
  • 00:06:12
    years old that's what it shows on my
  • 00:06:14
    analytics I have your age I have your
  • 00:06:17
    demographics I'm going to steal them all
  • 00:06:19
    and sell it to private third-party
  • 00:06:21
    software I'm just kidding I don't do
  • 00:06:23
    anything with it aside from look at this
  • 00:06:24
    but 18 to 35 years old
  • 00:06:27
    and some outliers I see you if you're
  • 00:06:29
    like 40 50 you're trying to get into
  • 00:06:31
    this space when you're older that's
  • 00:06:32
    [ __ ] awesome props to you but 18 to
  • 00:06:35
    35. now the problem is that most people
  • 00:06:40
    don't see those 18 to 35 years as past
  • 00:06:43
    experience that they can leverage to
  • 00:06:46
    help other people you haven't
  • 00:06:48
    self-reflected enough to see your own
  • 00:06:50
    value and the problems you've overcome
  • 00:06:51
    and that you are genuinely equipped with
  • 00:06:55
    information that can help other people
  • 00:06:57
    that you can educate them on and just
  • 00:07:00
    help them so the first thing is that you
  • 00:07:01
    don't think you have enough experience
  • 00:07:03
    the second thing is that you think
  • 00:07:04
    you're too boring you think your life's
  • 00:07:06
    too boring when this is the cause of
  • 00:07:09
    social media and what we were talking
  • 00:07:10
    about earlier with the Glamorous
  • 00:07:11
    Lifestyles you don't need a glamorous
  • 00:07:13
    lifestyle to do this stuff you need to
  • 00:07:15
    be interested enough to make your
  • 00:07:17
    interest interesting to other people I
  • 00:07:20
    always recommend starting with writing
  • 00:07:22
    like Twitter newsletter blog even
  • 00:07:25
    YouTube I'm reading
  • 00:07:27
    my newsletter from this but that's the
  • 00:07:29
    thing you don't need to even put your
  • 00:07:31
    face on the account you don't have to do
  • 00:07:33
    any of that stop letting the limiting
  • 00:07:34
    beliefs what I'm saying is the very
  • 00:07:36
    thing first thing I said at the start of
  • 00:07:38
    this video is that if you want to
  • 00:07:40
    accomplish something then you need to
  • 00:07:41
    build a solution in order to accomplish
  • 00:07:43
    it if you want to start a business
  • 00:07:44
    without having to show your body then
  • 00:07:46
    build a [ __ ] business without having
  • 00:07:48
    to show your body like it's that simple
  • 00:07:50
    stop convincing yourself otherwise that
  • 00:07:53
    you can't do something because you're
  • 00:07:55
    not doing it like everyone else and from
  • 00:07:57
    my experience the highest paid
  • 00:07:59
    individuals aren't the ones with the
  • 00:08:01
    looks and glamor those people are
  • 00:08:02
    banking on sponsorships and other things
  • 00:08:04
    and they're not making very much money I
  • 00:08:06
    know that the the people that make the
  • 00:08:08
    most money are the generalists they
  • 00:08:11
    aren't one-dimensional they're
  • 00:08:13
    multi-dimensional because they're the
  • 00:08:15
    generalists that hire the Specialists
  • 00:08:17
    everyone tells you to become a
  • 00:08:18
    specialist when that's the worst thing
  • 00:08:19
    you can do why because Specialists mean
  • 00:08:22
    that you do x y z you go ABC you do a
  • 00:08:26
    specific thing you do a specific thing
  • 00:08:28
    and that is just
  • 00:08:30
    primed for automation it's being
  • 00:08:32
    automated out left and right right you
  • 00:08:34
    are not a robot you are not I performed
  • 00:08:37
    this specific task with this specific
  • 00:08:38
    skill because that's where that's where
  • 00:08:41
    you get automated right that you're able
  • 00:08:42
    to be trained into that you need to be a
  • 00:08:44
    generalist and be able to move artfully
  • 00:08:47
    and gracefully within a specific domain
  • 00:08:48
    of interest that you have so I guess
  • 00:08:51
    general rule of thumb is that if you
  • 00:08:54
    work like a robot then you are a robot
  • 00:08:56
    and you will be outsourced to robots and
  • 00:08:58
    your job will be replaced a human being
  • 00:09:00
    should be able to change a diaper plan
  • 00:09:02

    program a computer cook a tasty meal
  • 00:09:19
    fight efficiently die gallantly
  • 00:09:22
    specialization is for insects that is a
  • 00:09:25
    quote from Robert a Heinlein so even
  • 00:09:28
    more of a problem than not seeing your
  • 00:09:31
    own personal experience as valuable is
  • 00:09:34
    ineffective communication because that's
  • 00:09:36
    all people on social media are doing is
  • 00:09:38
    just effective and persuasive
  • 00:09:39
    communication to make their own
  • 00:09:41
    interests valuable and interesting or at
  • 00:09:44
    least perceived as valuable and
  • 00:09:45
    interesting to other people that is the
  • 00:09:48
    skill that you have to master is writing
  • 00:09:51
    effective communication and also
  • 00:09:53
    Effective Thinking because writing is
  • 00:09:55
    how you clarify your thoughts the one
  • 00:09:57
    person business model has always
  • 00:09:59
    appealed to me over having employees
  • 00:10:01
    a simple website as a storefront a
  • 00:10:03
    digital product stack with high profit
  • 00:10:05
    margins for our work days and potential
  • 00:10:07
    one million dollar years control over
  • 00:10:09
    what you work on and who you work with
  • 00:10:11
    hard to beat the one person business in
  • 00:10:14
    my eyes is for those that value
  • 00:10:16
    self-reliance time freedom and location
  • 00:10:19
    Freedom sovereignty autonomy just being
  • 00:10:22
    able to do what you want and having
  • 00:10:24
    enough money to do so while impacting
  • 00:10:26
    the world and having a purpose behind
  • 00:10:28
    your life so one person businesses they
  • 00:10:30
    use social media for building an
  • 00:10:33
    audience building a community and
  • 00:10:35
    attracting people of like Minds right so
  • 00:10:37
    they have so they have leverage for the
  • 00:10:39
    future by building an audience because
  • 00:10:41
    you see a freelancer and they just send
  • 00:10:43
    cold DMS all day well it's like I build
  • 00:10:45
    an audience and I can like sell
  • 00:10:49
    different offers whenever I want as long
  • 00:10:51
    as they're helpful to my audience and
  • 00:10:52
    they want to purchase them willingly and
  • 00:10:54
    so they use social media as traffic and
  • 00:10:57
    then in order to host their products or
  • 00:10:58
    their content or even their newsletter
  • 00:11:01
    we use no code tools right which is just
  • 00:11:03
    software so a website builder maybe a
  • 00:11:06
    social media scheduler things like that
  • 00:11:09
    where those do specialize tasks
  • 00:11:12
    that other people got replaced from
  • 00:11:15
    doing like social media managers as a
  • 00:11:16
    whole are going to be outsourced to just
  • 00:11:19
    software that can
  • 00:11:20
    do those repetitive tasks at a much much
  • 00:11:23
    much cheaper price and so that is
  • 00:11:25
    opening up room for individuals for
  • 00:11:27
    solopreneurs for one person businesses
  • 00:11:30
    to have every aspect of their business
  • 00:11:32
    managed without them having to do
  • 00:11:34
    anything aside from oversee the software
  • 00:11:36
    and add their mind or their creative
  • 00:11:40
    ability to those softwares together in
  • 00:11:42
    order to create a successful business
  • 00:11:43
    and so another important aspect of the
  • 00:11:45
    one-person business is lifestyle design
  • 00:11:47
    because if you work for someone else you
  • 00:11:50
    have a manager they manage you but when
  • 00:11:53
    you work for yourself you can sleep in
  • 00:11:54
    until 1 pm but are you going to get your
  • 00:11:57
    work done if you can get your work done
  • 00:12:00
    how are you going to systemize that how
  • 00:12:01
    are you going to structure your days for
  • 00:12:03
    both maximum productivity and maximum
  • 00:12:06
    creativity how are you going to design
  • 00:12:08
    the life that you want to live through
  • 00:12:10
    trial error experimentation and just
  • 00:12:12
    self-reflection and understanding the
  • 00:12:14
    problems that are blocking your quality
  • 00:12:18
    of life so you have to understand as
  • 00:12:19
    well that there is no such situation in
  • 00:12:21
    a one-person business because if it is a
  • 00:12:23
    one-person business it means it evolves
  • 00:12:25
    with you I used to sell digital products
  • 00:12:28
    and I no longer sell them because I
  • 00:12:30
    evolved I changed I pivoted a bit and I
  • 00:12:33
    changed what I offer I started a
  • 00:12:34
    different business whatever it may be
  • 00:12:36
    but that's the thing is I desaturated
  • 00:12:39
    that market because I can only take on
  • 00:12:41
    so much right this is the one person
  • 00:12:43
    business model is everyone taking their
  • 00:12:45
    piece of the pie by doing what they
  • 00:12:47
    truly enjoy and if everyone did that you
  • 00:12:49
    would have to understand that every
  • 00:12:51
    single interest every single person is
  • 00:12:53
    going to study different interests
  • 00:12:54
    they're going to explore the the crevice
  • 00:12:57
    of reality that they are the most
  • 00:12:59
    curious about and distill their
  • 00:13:01
    learnings to the people that want to
  • 00:13:03
    learn about those things and so if every
  • 00:13:06
    if every single person was authentic and
  • 00:13:08
    honest with what they wanted to pursue
  • 00:13:10
    and their ability to monetize that so
  • 00:13:12
    let's say I want to start carving out
  • 00:13:15
    like Woodworking and selling cutting
  • 00:13:18
    boards right and so I study woodworking
  • 00:13:20
    I study uh like design kitchenware
  • 00:13:24
    design or something like that right you
  • 00:13:25
    can see that
  • 00:13:27
    like your interests are not the only one
  • 00:13:29
    that exists because that's the Trap that
  • 00:13:31
    a lot of us fall into as well like well
  • 00:13:33
    everyone's doing self-improvement
  • 00:13:35
    everyone's studying self-improvement
  • 00:13:37
    everyone's a programmer it's like no
  • 00:13:39
    dude it's because you're interested in
  • 00:13:40
    those things and you're following the
  • 00:13:42
    five to seven hundred people that talk
  • 00:13:44
    about those things only so that's all
  • 00:13:46
    that's in your brain you haven't broken
  • 00:13:47
    out of that bubble or and that's fine
  • 00:13:49
    because you're supposed to be exploring
  • 00:13:51
    that and you're supposed to be creating
  • 00:13:52
    your own unique perspective to
  • 00:13:54
    further understanding in those areas to
  • 00:13:57
    educate people in a better way than
  • 00:13:59
    schools can do so there are two paths to
  • 00:14:02
    starting a one-person business with zero
  • 00:14:06
    experience and first I want you to stop
  • 00:14:08
    thinking of business as some like
  • 00:14:10
    billion dollar company or something like
  • 00:14:12
    that business is what you do business is
  • 00:14:15
    your life's work business is the vessel
  • 00:14:18
    to create your ideal lifestyle while
  • 00:14:21
    impacting The World At Large so money is
  • 00:14:25
    a modern byproduct of living with
  • 00:14:28
    purpose and passing down your teachings
  • 00:14:30
    it's self-actualization and
  • 00:14:33
    self-transcendence it is a vessel for
  • 00:14:35
    that I like to think of it there's like
  • 00:14:37
    mindfulness techniques and spirituality
  • 00:14:39
    there's Zen techniques for achieving
  • 00:14:43
    this actualization or Enlightenment for
  • 00:14:45
    me because you're not supposed to become
  • 00:14:48
    ideological or dogmatic about one method
  • 00:14:51
    to achieving one specific outcome that's
  • 00:14:53
    not how it works business business to me
  • 00:14:55
    is that method of doing it it's a way of
  • 00:14:58
    exposing myself to the world practicing
  • 00:15:00
    mindfulness clarifying my thoughts with
  • 00:15:02
    writing and putting out a meaningful
  • 00:15:04
    message and now we're going to bring up
  • 00:15:06
    the experience thing or imposter
  • 00:15:07
    syndrome here again I just want to make
  • 00:15:09
    it very clear that if you could go to
  • 00:15:11
    your friend right now and you could
  • 00:15:13
    teach him about something that you are
  • 00:15:14
    studying on social media or in school or
  • 00:15:17
    whatever it may be you're more than
  • 00:15:18
    experienced you're already doing this
  • 00:15:20
    [ __ ] you just need to do it in public so
  • 00:15:22
    the first path is skill base this is the
  • 00:15:24
    one that most people take where the
  • 00:15:26
    common advice is learn a skill sell a
  • 00:15:29
    skill teach a skill or however within
  • 00:15:32
    that many however you would organize
  • 00:15:34
    those from one to three and this is
  • 00:15:35
    great but as I said you don't want to
  • 00:15:38
    end up one-dimensional you don't want to
  • 00:15:39
    sell only one skill so that way you're
  • 00:15:41
    automated it's a great starting point
  • 00:15:43
    but you have to be working to get past
  • 00:15:45
    that or else you're just going to be
  • 00:15:46
    that freelancer that's making the same
  • 00:15:49
    income built themselves into a new nine
  • 00:15:51
    to five consistently on the verge of
  • 00:15:53
    losing every single client than just not
  • 00:15:56
    having a backup or some form of Leverage
  • 00:15:58
    built like an audience to to Pivot and
  • 00:16:02
    do whatever they want and are able to
  • 00:16:04
    pursue their genuine Curiosities that
  • 00:16:06
    are going to change and evolve over time
  • 00:16:08
    so path two the one that I like is
  • 00:16:10
    development based so the development
  • 00:16:13
    base is based around the four Eternal
  • 00:16:15
    markets the Eternal markets are where
  • 00:16:17
    most people are trying to achieve lofty
  • 00:16:19
    goals but there are many problems in the
  • 00:16:22
    way of those goals then that's where the
  • 00:16:24
    most money is made those are the
  • 00:16:25
    profitable burning problems that people
  • 00:16:27
    have the four Eternal markets are health
  • 00:16:30
    wealth relationships and happiness so
  • 00:16:32
    path one by choosing a marketable skill
  • 00:16:34
    usually only pays attention to wealth
  • 00:16:36
    but with path two
  • 00:16:38
    it's just built for the business of you
  • 00:16:42
    the one person business because he quite
  • 00:16:45
    literally pursue your own goals which is
  • 00:16:47
    your brand which we'll talk about you
  • 00:16:49
    solve your own problems as you are
  • 00:16:51
    pursuing those goals by uh researching
  • 00:16:54
    your Curiosities that allow you to
  • 00:16:56
    achieve those goals faster which is the
  • 00:16:58
    content the information and the value
  • 00:17:00
    that you're passing down and you create
  • 00:17:02
    a system to help others do the same so
  • 00:17:04
    you self-reflect and you look back how
  • 00:17:06
    would I have done this better how can I
  • 00:17:08
    how did I do this and what results did I
  • 00:17:10
    have now how can I help other people
  • 00:17:12
    step by step in a faster way get to
  • 00:17:15
    those results so you're advancing human
  • 00:17:17
    evolution you're helping people evolve
  • 00:17:19
    and trans or actualize and transcend
  • 00:17:21
    much faster and that's why I said
  • 00:17:22
    business to me is this vessel for
  • 00:17:25
    self-actualization and even spirituality
  • 00:17:27
    and self-transcendence and so that
  • 00:17:29
    system that step-by-step system is your
  • 00:17:32
    offer or your product and so that is how
  • 00:17:34
    you be yourself improve yourself and
  • 00:17:36
    profit off of yourself you may be
  • 00:17:38
    wondering like but but Dan I'm I'm just
  • 00:17:40
    starting out and it's like you don't
  • 00:17:42
    have to write posts or create a product
  • 00:17:45
    where it's like how to make a million
  • 00:17:46
    dollars in three days you don't have to
  • 00:17:48
    do that you have to pay attention to
  • 00:17:49
    where you are now where you're going and
  • 00:17:52
    how you're going to get there right so
  • 00:17:54
    where you are now you may have made zero
  • 00:17:56
    dollars and so how do you position your
  • 00:17:58
    content or your product how do you
  • 00:17:59
    position or what perspective are you
  • 00:18:02
    giving about yourself so how do people
  • 00:18:04
    perceive you right you can you don't
  • 00:18:06
    write a post on how to make a million
  • 00:18:07
    dollars in three days you're right
  • 00:18:09
    here's how I'm going to make a million
  • 00:18:10
    dollars in five years
  • 00:18:13
    yeah I mean it you know and then you
  • 00:18:15
    give out your plan and then people
  • 00:18:16
    follow along because you are a leader
  • 00:18:18
    then and people follow leaders you are
  • 00:18:20
    positioning yourself as a leader you're
  • 00:18:23
    helping people achieve the goals that
  • 00:18:25
    you are trying to achieve and you're
  • 00:18:26
    kind of leaving breadcrumbs along the
  • 00:18:28
    way and then path three is both both
  • 00:18:31
    skill and development based and this is
  • 00:18:33
    kind of a given because when you start
  • 00:18:35
    and you haven't learned any skills yet
  • 00:18:36
    this is how you learn fast if you're
  • 00:18:39
    going to start on social media as your
  • 00:18:41
    way of generating traffic then you're
  • 00:18:43
    going to have to learn how to design a
  • 00:18:45
    good profile picture how to design a
  • 00:18:47
    good Banner how to write a compelling
  • 00:18:49
    compelling bio you're gonna have to
  • 00:18:51
    learn how to write social media posts so
  • 00:18:53
    you could become a Twitter ghost writer
  • 00:18:55
    you could become an Instagram post
  • 00:18:57
    Creator how whatever you call that you
  • 00:19:00
    could become a video editor you could be
  • 00:19:02
    you could design uh banners for people
  • 00:19:05
    you're building skills as you grow your
  • 00:19:08
    business and that means you can help
  • 00:19:10
    other people grow their business and
  • 00:19:12
    offer a freelancer service so you can
  • 00:19:14
    start monetizing pretty close to from
  • 00:19:16
    the start and you're doing it in such a
  • 00:19:18
    way that you're you're actually getting
  • 00:19:21
    results for yourself if you get results
  • 00:19:23
    for yourself in a real world setting
  • 00:19:25
    rather than just building out portfolio
  • 00:19:27
    pieces and never getting paid what you
  • 00:19:30
    deserve because you don't know how to
  • 00:19:31
    apply your skills to someone's actual
  • 00:19:33
    business then you practice your skills
  • 00:19:36
    on your own business you build your own
  • 00:19:38
    website you build your own landing page
  • 00:19:39
    maybe you build a landing page from a
  • 00:19:41
    for an affiliate product to see how good
  • 00:19:44
    you are at copywriting because then you
  • 00:19:46
    don't even have to create the product
  • 00:19:47
    you just build an affiliate product
  • 00:19:49
    build your own landing page see how good
  • 00:19:51
    you are at that and then you can offer
  • 00:19:53
    selling landing pages for one to two
  • 00:19:54
    thousand dollars to other creators you
  • 00:19:57
    see what I'm saying here all you have to
  • 00:19:58
    do is just [ __ ] start so now let's go
  • 00:20:00
    over the four pillars of the one-person
  • 00:20:02
    business so for those that want to do
  • 00:20:04
    what they want and help the people that
  • 00:20:06
    they can help the most traditional
  • 00:20:08
    branding marketing content and offer
  • 00:20:11
    advice is not going to fit very well
  • 00:20:13
    because in the case of this one-person
  • 00:20:15
    business that I'm talking about in the
  • 00:20:17
    next video we'll go over what a value
  • 00:20:18
    Creator is it's a style of one person
  • 00:20:20
    business and I'm breaking these down
  • 00:20:22
    because it takes more than just one
  • 00:20:23
    video to do but in this case the
  • 00:20:26
    experience model that I'm talking about
  • 00:20:28
    you are your customer Avatar you are
  • 00:20:31
    your brand you are your Niche you are
  • 00:20:33
    your content you are your offer you are
  • 00:20:35
    everything and self-awareness and
  • 00:20:37
    self-reliance is going to be the
  • 00:20:38
    greatest skill that you have and those
  • 00:20:40
    are the people that thrive the most in
  • 00:20:42
    this one-person business model is those
  • 00:20:44
    that take responsibility for their
  • 00:20:45
    future and help others get to where
  • 00:20:48
    they're going so to break down the
  • 00:20:50
    one-person business very quickly your
  • 00:20:52
    goals are your brand so what do you want
  • 00:20:55
    out of life and what are you leading
  • 00:20:57
    people towards now the problems that are
  • 00:21:00
    standing in the way of your goals turn
  • 00:21:02
    into the content so what roadblocks will
  • 00:21:06
    your followers encounter and how are you
  • 00:21:08
    going to help them overcome it and now
  • 00:21:10
    there's a lot more that goes into
  • 00:21:12
    content than that but that's a great
  • 00:21:14
    starting point right and so systems are
  • 00:21:16
    how you solve the problem turns into a
  • 00:21:18
    product so how can they solve their
  • 00:21:20
    problems faster because that's what
  • 00:21:22
    people want and now the benefits how has
  • 00:21:25
    this entire Journey impacted your life
  • 00:21:28
    that turns into your marketing so why
  • 00:21:30
    should they care about your message
  • 00:21:31
    right why do I write every day and how
  • 00:21:34
    can I turn that into a persuasive
  • 00:21:36
    argument anyone who studied marketing
  • 00:21:38
    understands that benefits Rich language
  • 00:21:40
    is extremely powerful and persuasive so
  • 00:21:42
    if I wake up and I write not only to
  • 00:21:45
    earn an income think much more clearly
  • 00:21:49
    systemize all of my other content I
  • 00:21:51
    could go on day like all day long but
  • 00:21:54
    you can go and look at those benefits
  • 00:21:55
    and how exactly I'm doing this on any of
  • 00:21:57
    my landing pages so what you do as I
  • 00:22:00
    mentioned in a previous video on how to
  • 00:22:02
    solve your own problems or how to find
  • 00:22:03
    Purpose By solving your own problems is
  • 00:22:06
    that that's exactly what you do you
  • 00:22:07
    pursue a goal you solve your own
  • 00:22:08
    problems you teach others how you did it
  • 00:22:10
    and that's your business right and then
  • 00:22:12
    when it comes to building out a product
  • 00:22:14
    or a service that you can sell in
  • 00:22:15
    relation to that then it just works out
  • 00:22:17
    and this is of course oversimplified
  • 00:22:19
    there's many many nuances here but if
  • 00:22:21
    you take these foundational principles
  • 00:22:24
    and apply them then figure out and test
  • 00:22:26
    and experiment and do exactly what I'm
  • 00:22:29
    telling you to do by figuring it out for
  • 00:22:31
    yourself so you actually have unique and
  • 00:22:33
    genuine knowledge on how to do it it's
  • 00:22:35
    going to take time but that time is
  • 00:22:37
    going to pay back tenfold aside from you
  • 00:22:39
    hiring someone to build your brand for
  • 00:22:41
    you because then you're just
  • 00:22:43
    relinquishing all potential leverage and
  • 00:22:46
    just power all right so branding is is
  • 00:22:49
    fairly understandable that's where you
  • 00:22:51
    work towards a goal and that is your
  • 00:22:53
    brand message that's what you're helping
  • 00:22:54
    people do if your goal is to make a
  • 00:22:56
    million dollars then your mission or
  • 00:22:58
    your message that you can start with and
  • 00:23:00
    iterate from
  • 00:23:01
    is helping a thousand people
  • 00:23:05
    make a million dollars by 2025 right who
  • 00:23:09
    wouldn't want to follow that so the next
  • 00:23:11
    pillar content is where people have the
  • 00:23:13
    most problems it's like Dan what do I
  • 00:23:15
    write about so let me introduce you to a
  • 00:23:17
    topic that I talk about in digital
  • 00:23:20
    economics called the domain of Mastery
  • 00:23:22
    so what you do is you pick three
  • 00:23:24
    interests one that makes money which is
  • 00:23:26
    almost any of them that's just your
  • 00:23:27
    priority interest interest two excites
  • 00:23:30
    you and interest three is development
  • 00:23:32
    based so like psychology
  • 00:23:33
    self-improvement self-development
  • 00:23:35
    metaphysics philosophy something that
  • 00:23:37
    helps you understand just the
  • 00:23:39
    progression pattern of every single
  • 00:23:42
    thing anyone could ever do so you can
  • 00:23:45
    have a unique perspective on those
  • 00:23:47
    things by applying spirituality
  • 00:23:49
    principles philosophy psychology that
  • 00:23:52
    kind of stuff and then when you look at
  • 00:23:53
    this graph you can break them down into
  • 00:23:55
    the principles so what are the
  • 00:23:57
    fundamentals or the principles of each
  • 00:23:59
    interest in getting results with those
  • 00:24:01
    in relation to your goal and then from
  • 00:24:03
    that you can break them down into other
  • 00:24:05
    topics you can break them down into
  • 00:24:07
    mentors for inspiration so the people
  • 00:24:09
    that you follow
  • 00:24:12
    and get your advice from and then the
  • 00:24:15
    connections so the connections between
  • 00:24:16
    all of them and real world problems and
  • 00:24:19
    those are all the starting places that
  • 00:24:21
    you can
  • 00:24:22
    start writing or creating content around
  • 00:24:24
    in a way that is very effective and
  • 00:24:26
    educational and valuable so pillar
  • 00:24:28
    number three is the offer or the product
  • 00:24:30
    that you're creating and no you don't
  • 00:24:33
    have to wait to start monetizing I hate
  • 00:24:35
    that stupid gatekeeper mindset where
  • 00:24:37
    people are like oh you need to be this
  • 00:24:39
    experience to start making an income or
  • 00:24:41
    you need to start doing this to start
  • 00:24:44
    making an income it's like no dude like
  • 00:24:46
    you don't you don't [ __ ] understand
  • 00:24:47
    you're just gatekeeping and you're
  • 00:24:49
    trying to like you're not thinking like
  • 00:24:52
    think a bit deeper right how do
  • 00:24:54
    Freelancers start making money they
  • 00:24:56
    learn the found fundamentals of a skill
  • 00:24:58
    very very quickly they start reaching
  • 00:25:00
    out to people immediately so they can go
  • 00:25:02
    get real world free
  • 00:25:04
    real world feedback next they either
  • 00:25:07
    charge free or very low cost because
  • 00:25:09
    their skill isn't up to par to charge
  • 00:25:11
    two to five thousand dollars and then
  • 00:25:14
    they gradually work their way up step by
  • 00:25:16
    step and the sooner you start selling
  • 00:25:19
    something not only the sooner you can
  • 00:25:21
    make money but the sooner you can start
  • 00:25:23
    failing and you can start iterating the
  • 00:25:26
    first product is always going to be [ __ ]
  • 00:25:28
    you just need to get it out you need to
  • 00:25:31
    get the [ __ ] out so that you can make it
  • 00:25:32
    better because you're never ever ever
  • 00:25:34
    gonna have a great product the first
  • 00:25:37
    time around it's just not gonna [ __ ]
  • 00:25:38
    happen put an offer out there build a
  • 00:25:41
    digital product sell a physical product
  • 00:25:42
    the drop ship if you have to start a
  • 00:25:45
    freelance service start a Consulting
  • 00:25:46
    service whatever it may be put out
  • 00:25:48
    content and just start getting the [ __ ]
  • 00:25:51
    out of the faucet so clear water can
  • 00:25:54
    flow so it's like okay Dan but what do I
  • 00:25:55
    sell so let me introduce to you what I
  • 00:25:57
    call the minimum viable offer there's
  • 00:25:59
    minimum viable product but an offer is
  • 00:26:01
    like all encompassing so the minimum
  • 00:26:03
    viable offer is I either a single a
  • 00:26:06
    single freelance skill that you sell for
  • 00:26:08
    five five hundred to one thousand
  • 00:26:09
    dollars so that's web design email
  • 00:26:11
    marketing something like that where a
  • 00:26:13
    single skill you're not it's not a crazy
  • 00:26:15
    offer you're never going to be able to
  • 00:26:16
    charge five thousand dollars for that
  • 00:26:18
    but you have to start somewhere or
  • 00:26:20
    number two is a single
  • 00:26:23
    interest Consulting service where you
  • 00:26:25
    sell a pack of four calls for five
  • 00:26:27
    hundred to one thousand dollars so this
  • 00:26:29
    is what most people do and most people
  • 00:26:30
    get like get caught up in this it's like
  • 00:26:33
    there's some kind of stupid stigma
  • 00:26:35
    around freelancing where it's like yeah
  • 00:26:37
    I have to do the work I can't just teach
  • 00:26:40
    people about it and it's like as a
  • 00:26:41
    Creator me I hate paying for work I'd
  • 00:26:44
    rather pay you to get on a call with me
  • 00:26:46
    and consult me on how to do a specific
  • 00:26:48
    thing whether it's a skill or not if
  • 00:26:50
    it's health I want to be taught if
  • 00:26:52
    you're starting an education business
  • 00:26:53
    like this then don't do a freelance done
  • 00:26:57
    for you service just offer Consulting
  • 00:26:59
    calls or a digital product so Health
  • 00:27:03
    coaching Fitness coaching performance
  • 00:27:05
    coaching mindset coaching life coaching
  • 00:27:07
    business coaching of whatever domain or
  • 00:27:09
    Niche you're in those are very broad you
  • 00:27:11
    can go a bit more deep into the sub
  • 00:27:13
    markets within those like bodybuilding
  • 00:27:15
    coaching or uh Nero
  • 00:27:19
    neural hacking
  • 00:27:21
    Consulting right it's what you're
  • 00:27:23
    interested in and you can only find what
  • 00:27:25
    it is that you want to teach by diving
  • 00:27:27
    into your domain of Mastery or the
  • 00:27:30
    crevice of reality that composes the
  • 00:27:33
    interest you want to explore in this
  • 00:27:34
    life but it's not like Consulting isn't
  • 00:27:37
    only limited to those I'm really
  • 00:27:38
    surprised that like digital tutoring
  • 00:27:41
    offers aren't more of a thing if I learn
  • 00:27:43
    web design and I want to teach a Creator
  • 00:27:45
    over four calls how to design a great
  • 00:27:48
    website for themselves I think that's a
  • 00:27:50
    great [ __ ] offer and if I was
  • 00:27:51
    starting out I would pay for that it's
  • 00:27:53
    the same thing I'll get on calls for
  • 00:27:55
    four weeks with you and teach you how to
  • 00:27:57
    write compelling emails I'll teach you
  • 00:27:58
    how to run Facebook ads it's a
  • 00:28:00
    Consulting offer and I think those are
  • 00:28:03
    much better
  • 00:28:05
    much more scalable than a freelance
  • 00:28:07
    offer and so the thing why we start with
  • 00:28:10
    a minimum viable offer is that you can
  • 00:28:12
    start monetizing immediately you can
  • 00:28:13
    start reaching out to people in the DMS
  • 00:28:15
    you can write a Twitter thread or a post
  • 00:28:17
    and have others retweet it and then plug
  • 00:28:19
    your service so you're getting a
  • 00:28:20
    thousand to
  • 00:28:22
    if it goes viral a million views on your
  • 00:28:24
    offer
  • 00:28:25
    and you start making money because it's
  • 00:28:27
    traffic and it's offers and so the other
  • 00:28:29
    thing is why you start with this is
  • 00:28:31
    because then you can start fleshing out
  • 00:28:33
    a digital product and already have
  • 00:28:34
    results for it you can teach other
  • 00:28:36
    people you can get them results and you
  • 00:28:38
    can note the commonalities between like
  • 00:28:40
    what you're talking about on each call
  • 00:28:41
    and you package it up into a course
  • 00:28:43
    ebook a cohort something of that nature
  • 00:28:46
    that you can then switch to and so you
  • 00:28:49
    can stop taking on so much client work
  • 00:28:51
    as your audience grows and you can
  • 00:28:52
    switch to a digital product and have
  • 00:28:54
    more free time and so that was just a
  • 00:28:56
    broad overview of all of this one-person
  • 00:28:58
    business stuff I'll go a bit more in
  • 00:29:00
    depth in the next video but I want to
  • 00:29:02
    get more people primed uh to this whole
  • 00:29:05
    idea because I feel like it's it's not
  • 00:29:08
    ground shaking or revolutionary by any
  • 00:29:10
    means but it is very important so with
  • 00:29:12
    all of that like the video subscribe for
  • 00:29:15
    the next one and if you haven't already
  • 00:29:17
    consider enrolling in digital economics
  • 00:29:19
    I believe when this video goes out it
  • 00:29:21
    starts next week so only the first
  • 00:29:24
    people that actually view this video
  • 00:29:26
    will be able to get at it when it's live
  • 00:29:27
    but later on you can apply uh to the
  • 00:29:30
    wait list and you can also check out
  • 00:29:32
    other stuff down there like the two hour
  • 00:29:34
