Ladies and gentlemen, how's it going?
Bear with me for a moment. I'm
absolutely terrible at this, but
we're going to try and make it work. So,
everyone, this is a business stream. I
see the crypto questions coming in. I'm
not going to address those. I'm going to
act like you're not there. Usually
every few Where did the Where did this
peach music go? It was getting me in a
vibe. What was this thing doing right
here?
Yeah, there. There it goes. There it
goes. Does it stop playing? I don't like
that. It's first time running a stream
with all this stuff going on. Anyways,
turns off again. We're fine. So, usually
at Hyros every few weeks, I like to sit
down with all of our customers and
answer any business questions they have,
ads, regardless of whatever they want to
talk about. We can talk business, we can
talk hiring, we can talk whatever the
hell you guys want to talk about. But
what I'm going to be doing on this
stream is answering any questions you
guys have and we're just going to kind
of shoot the [ __ ] and hang out. We'll
see if it works. If this goes terrible
and everybody starts flooding with
crypto questions, we just won't do it
again on the business channel. So, I'm
going to go through questions and there
we go. Someone said lower the music.
There you go. It's lowered.
All right. So, let's see what we got
going on here. I'm just gonna I'm gonna
stop playing with the music right now.
We'll get it going. Someone said, "Fuck
best YouTube ever." Yes, I do have the
best YouTubes ever.
So, what do you what do I think there?
We'll just start with random ass
questions. What do I think about vending
machine businesses? I don't [ __ ] I have
no idea. I've never met anyone that runs
a vending machine business and I've
never uh participated in a vending
machine business and I have no clue how
they work. So, the first answer of the
day is I have absolutely no idea how
they make that business model work. So,
pretty helpful so far, right?
Uh Danny C says diapers. Cool. Yes,
there we go. Someone said 99% of us are
here from crypto. I think you
underestimate just how many customers
Hyros and how many people actually come
to my serious business channel.
Ganov says, "Loved your part in
Himoszi's book launch." Yeah, that that
was pretty cool. You the whole entire
setup that Alex had, the whole entire
studio and everything. I was really
nervous the entire time because I just
went in and it's just zero to presenting
in front of 35,000 people and like
Alex's big moment. So, it was a little
nerve-wracking, but it was fun. It was
fun. Alex has come a very long way. It
was awesome to be there for him on his
big day.
Samo says, "Should I focus on
copywriting skills as step one to
building the right skill set for online
businesses?"
Uh, it depends on what you're doing,
dude. So, like, of course, you need to
be able to sell stuff online. I would
focus more on creating a product and
service. Now, when you build any
business or product or service, you're
naturally going to
be working on your copywriting the
entire time. And what's going to happen,
let's say you try to sell something on
Fiverr or you make like a website where
you're selling [ __ ] to local businesses
or something like that,
you're naturally going to want to get
more customers and you're going to be
kind of peevey that people come to your
website and don't buy. So, you're going
to naturally study up on copywriting and
whatnot. It sounds like from your
question not to hate on you or poop on
you at all. It sounds like you're trying
to study copywriting instead of just
going and trying to start a business or
find some way to make money. You have to
actually take action and do the things
that are going to make money. And
copyrightiting itself doesn't make
money. It's a great way to procrastinate
about making money though. So those are
two answers to that question.
Why would you recommend a beginner start
out with a product? Because if you're a
beginner, you're not going to make any
[ __ ] money anyways. And the way you
make money in business is you have to
get good enough at making products and
selling products or making a service uh
making something to sell and then
selling it. And so if you're a beginner,
you don't just start by like if I want
to learn how to play guitar, I don't go
and study guitar like through a book or
I don't just like go and and and just
learn one line of scales and just focus
on that. You have to actually go and try
to play a song. You have to go and try
and actually play notes and put things
together and mess up. And when you pick
up guitar, for example, you're not going
to be able to play anything
coherent literally if you're trying to
play anything cool for like the first
year. And so that's the same thing if
you're a beginner. So, if you're
beginner, like people like, "Well, I'm
not ready to do this because I'm a
beginner." Like, how the [ __ ] are you
going to learn? If you want to learn how
to play football, you want to play
quarterback, you're going to have to go
on the field and just [ __ ] it up for a
little bit. So, if you're beginner,
that's why I would say go make a product
because that's how you're going to make
money in the long term. There's no
reason to delay it. Just go jump in the
deep end.
What would I do if I was 18? I would not
go to college. First things first, do
not go to college. Two, I would get my
cost of living down extremely cheap. If
you live in America, I would move to a
college town and bunk up with four or
five other dudes in a college town
house, which is going to get you
extremely cheap rent. Extremely cheap
rent. Then I would get a computer. I
would get a job at a bar or some local
area job. And I would spend all my free
time learning how to build and make
money, whether it's building a career of
whatever you want to do. You can make a
lot of money being an employee. By the
way, I'm not here to tell anybody that
you have to be an entrepreneur. Okay?
That's what every other channel does. I
think that's kind of silly, but you're
just going to work on your trade and
your craft, whether that's being an
entrepreneur or for example a
whatever role in employment you want to
do. And I think if you do that for four
years instead of going to college,
you're going to be very good at what
you're trying to do in four years and
you're going to make a lot of money. or
at least I think an 18-year-old if you
spent four years learning some trade or
craft,
whatever it is. I think you can get to
six figures by the time you're 22 if
much faster than going to college. You
get out and you're masculine in debt.
So,
if I drive to Austin, can we get
Chipotle? I don't live in Austin
anymore. Nobody knows where I live now.
I kind of like it. Uh I don't eat
Chipotle either. It's It's just not
worth it. It's not worth it. There's too
many calories in the burritos and you
can't get enough volume. Like beans and
meat and steak, it's very it's very high
calor cal caloric for the for what you
eat. So if you just eat like a little
bit of it, it has a lot of calories in.
I don't like that. What I like to do is
I like to find very low calorie high
volume food and then eat it till I'm
literally about to throw up and sick.
That's my secret to staying thin and
enjoying my food. So I like love
broccoli with like no calorie cheese
sauce. That's what I'm kind of into. Or
I make like this this ice cream in a
blender and you can make like a jug of
it this big and it's only 300 calories
and you can just eat it till you throw
up. It tastes delicious, too. That's
kind of my spiel. I'd explain why I
don't like Chipotle. I think Chipotle
tastes great. I really like Chipotle.
It's just not worth it. Downing 1500
calories at once and then being full
three hours later just doesn't doesn't
work for me.
Glicker says, "How do you maximize your
time?" I mean, I wouldn't really
consider myself to be a time maximist.
If you watch like a lot of the other
entrepreneurs on YouTube for they're
always talking about time management and
how efficient they are. I don't think
I'm one of those things.
I think the best way to maximize time is
there's the obvious [ __ ] things you
can do, which is be super disciplined,
set one of those clocks, block out all
the distractions. For example, if I'm in
serious work mode, I'll have Twitter and
any distraction like that blocked on my
computer. I can't use it. and you can
use a little time swatch to set work
oriented tasks and then stick to them
and go through your schedule with
extreme discipline. I don't do that. I'm
kind of willy-nilly about work and I sit
down and I wake up at 3:00 a.m. every
single day or 2 a.m. whenever I get up
and I just do the same exact thing every
single day and I try to do all my
creative work in the morning from 2 a.m.
to 56 a.m. as best I can without
distractions, which means Twitter and
all that kind of stuff. And then I just
kind of freestyle it for the rest of the
day.
the the best way to maximize your time
too is just make sure you're not doing
stupid [ __ ] Like the key to doing well
in anything
and succeeding
at your goal of being maximum efficient
or making maximum money or anything is
is mostly just to not do stupid [ __ ] So
if you're not maximizing your time, it's
probably because the time is going
somewhere else. So document where it's
going and what you're wasting time on
and just stop doing those things and
you'll be 10 times more efficient.
There's all sorts of little patterns and
like that clock thing I mentioned or
little mental haikus you can tell
yourself to be more focused and
disciplined with your time. But the
thing you're going to get the most ROI
from is just not doing the stupid [ __ ]
and removing all the stuff that's
distracting you. So if you have a TV in
your house like when when I was um
building high originally I didn't have a
TV in my house. Uh so I stopped watching
TV. And if you're always on social media
like block all that [ __ ] If you play
video games smash your Xbox. These
simple little things right here nobody
thinks about and they always look for
these big complicated complex solutions
that sound cool on the internet. The
solution is just removal most of the
time.
So you said there's so many people that
want to do online businesses. There more
opportunities in physical services
businesses now.
I don't know. I've never done a physical
service business. But just because a lot
of people want to build online
businesses doesn't mean like it's
oversaturated to the point you can't do
it. I'm not telling you even to really
start an online business. Like what I
consider an online business is where you
have employees and you're building some
type of software or e-commerce business
or something that involves maybe like
four or five people. It's really simple
to build a 100 200k per year job. Let me
explain what I mean by job. So for
example, when I got out of the military,
I did SEO work for local businesses. And
I don't really consider that a business.
I was basically almost doing like I was
I was selling my time. And so I was an
employee a minor employee to all these
businesses. And so when you're working
at like Fiverr or whatever, there's ways
you can improve your skill set at
something and then sell your time
independently. So when you work for a
business, you're selling your time to
the business. That's for a rate. Usually
if you're good at optimizing your skills
and then selling yourself, you can
optimize and sell your time to
businesses individually. multiple
businesses at much better rates. So, for
example, if I was doing SEO at a
marketing agency, they'd probably back
then be paying me like 30 bucks an hour.
If I was doing it for business and
selling my own time, with the hours I
put into the businesses, I was making
like 10020 bucks an hour for each time I
for the time I put in. So, I wouldn't
consider anything super saturated
because you won't always be able to do
that. There will always be people
willing to buy your time if you're good
at what you do. So, just seek being good
at what you do. Most people are not.
Now, when it comes to physical
businesses and whatnot, um I would
assume so. I would assume there's more
opportunities there if you can figure it
out because most people don't know how
to do those things. And so, when it
comes to business, don't think of it as
online or offline. Just think of it more
as
finding things that are not being
offered to businesses and that people
need and are in demand of that they
aren't being offered. It's all just a
supply and demand game. So just look
where the the supply is low. That sounds
really simple in practice, but a lot of
people don't do these basic things when
they think about starting businesses or
making money. And you should because you
can find all sorts of businesses that
just aren't getting something served in
a local area and do that and you can
scale from there.
Louis says, "Make more videos on SAS,
please. How to grow SAS." See, the thing
is with my business channel, the reason
I make business videos is because our
new product uh I think I actually have
it p brought up. Our new product air at
Hyros is I'm not going to pitch it to
you guys in the stream. I'm not selling
anything. I'm just telling you about it.
Um it's super mainstream and so it can
really appeal to all sorts of business
owners because you just put it on your
website and you make 3 to 5% more from
your business on the low end of it. So
the reason I'm making the business
channel right now and making it very
mass market is because uh air is
perfectly positioned to be sold mass
market. So while I say I'm not I don't
have anything to sell you on my channel.
Eventually when your business starts
making money if you want to make 3 to 5%
more air is just sitting right there. So
that's the reason I'm focusing on more
of the low-level stuff, more the mass
market stuff in the channel. I'm not
going to make SAS videos because SAS
videos get no views on YouTube and I'm
trying to get lots of views. I could
make videos explaining exactly how I
built high-risisk to $100 million uh
valuation. Uh actually, it's way past
that right now. I could build all sorts
of videos on that. They would get like a
thousand views and it wouldn't help my
business. So, I'm not making these
videos out of charity. I'm making them
to create awareness around my brand and
awareness around my personal brand large
enough so that people will eventually
think about air in the future when they
just want to add AI remarketing to their
business. So, that's why I'm not going
to make SAS videos.
uh H highen how do you win in a
saturated market so that's a very broad
question because there's obviously times
where a market is too saturated and it's
just hard for example when I built
before hyros I built a software company
called market hero it was an email
company and if I had built that email
company 15 years earlier we would have
been like Mailchimp it would have been a
billionaire but uh at the time email was
so commoditized and so saturated and
there are so many efficient companies in
the space. It just didn't do very well.
We got to like 400k a month but it just
couldn't scale past that and it was a
declining 400k month. So we're
constantly replacing customers which is
pretty much failure in SAS terms. So the
company that did do really well right
there was Clavio because what they did
about the same time we launched is they
focused only on Shopify stores. And so
what they did in a saturated market is
they targeted a sector of the business
that was completely not being served,
which was e-commerce stores and only
focused on Shopify stores that was
really easy to set up. And they
dominated and created a multi-billion
dollar company by focusing on a niche of
the market that was underserved. So if
something's if a market's saturated, it
means it's huge and there's a lot of
customers in it. So what you need to do
is you need to narrow down smaller
sectors of the market and find smaller
sectors of the market that are
underserved if you're committed to
getting into a saturated market.
You can also go and invent something new
like we're doing at Hyros with Air or
like bring something like when we did
originally with Hyros and tracking you
bring it to a market that is just not
being marketed correctly. Like the
marketing for tracking companies when we
invented Hyros was just terrible. So
that's how we took the space then.
But those are the things that will help
you get into saturated markets or
whatever.
Did you did you I didn't I missed that
question. Where's Where are we?
Jurgen says, "I'm doing 20k a month with
in with weight loss right now. What
would you do? Push to 200k or switch
niche?"
So, I always get questions like this.
And you're doing 20k a month right now
and you're asking me what you should do
to blow up the business and you want me
to give you a specific answer. And the
thing is, I can't give you a specific
answer because I truly don't know what
the [ __ ] you need to do. If you watch a
lot of other business advice guys,
they're always going to have some
specific answer and act like they know
what's what the best thing to do is. I'm
not going to do that. I build software
companies. I have no clue how to build a
weight loss company. Okay? So, I'm not
going to act like I'm not clueless on
that. What I will tell you to do is you
need to learn how to think through these
problems because I'm not pooping on you
for coming on a stream and asking this
question. But if you're at the point
that the best way for you to figure out
how to grow your business is to ask a
stranger who's never even seen your
business on a live stream what you
should do to grow your business, you're
not approaching the problem the right
way. So I'm appreciative that you're
here, but you're just not approaching it
the right way. Here's how you approach
it the right way. So if you're at 20K a
month, you need to sit down and list out
every single thing you could do to grow
the business. All right? If it's a
personal brand or a social media brand
uh which that's based around your uh
personality or something like that, you
need to make yourself famous. That's the
only way to really grow these things
these days. And you need to write down
everything you need to do that could
possibly grow it. Could I make better
advertising? Could I make better content
on YouTube? Could I grow my Instagram?
How could I grow my Instagram at that
point? Could I grow my YouTube? Could I
go and put this at a bench? Could I go
speak on stage? Can I sell this at
Walmart? I don't know what you really
do, but you need to list out all the
things you could possibly do and then
expand on those things. And then you
need to pick the ones that look like
they're going to have the most impact
and just [ __ ] do them.
Your business is at 20K a month and not
growing, I assume, because you keep
doing the same thing over and over again
and you try to you're trying to overcome
it with work. So, what a lot of people
do is they get to a certain level in
business and they get comfortable with
what they're doing and then they just
try to do more of it and work harder.
So, for example, if you want to get to
like 100K a month to a million dollars a
month,
you you really have to evolve how the
business is going to work and how you
get customers and how you retain
customers. And
it it really comes down just the product
quality at point, but you just have you
have to go and do a lot of things that
are out of your comfort zone. making a
100k a month business doesn't involve
the same risk and effort and leaving
your comfort zone to making a million
dollar a month business does and so on
and so forth. So if it's not growing,
there's probably a lot of things you
know you need to be doing and you
haven't tried and you're just trying to
outwork not taking risk. You probably
need to go and take some risk and you
need to make something that is new. You
need to improve the product. For
example, if if your product is only
making 20K a month and you're
advertising it, it's probably I love you
not very good. If it was if it was
amazing, people would be leaving
testimonials, reviews, sharing it all
over internet. So, make the product
better. Figure out how to market the
product better. Sell more things to your
customers to get them buying more. Do
[ __ ] everything
that you possibly can. And if it still
doesn't work, then
you need to analyze if you're cut out
for it or not. Because if you're in the
weight loss business, there's tons of
businesses in weight loss making
millions and zillions of dollars per
month. Why can't you? So the reason why
I didn't I got out of info marketing and
selling courses and decided to quit
doing that is because I simply don't
have what it takes in those industries.
For example, to grow a business um like
Al Samozi for example, you look at like
I'm gazi or people that are doing really
successful courses right now regardless
of how you feel about them like you have
to go all in on creating a personal
brand and creating content and and other
examples out there. I don't know if
those two is the best, but you have to
be able to like sell deep. like you have
to sell a 2,000 course and a $10,000
course and a $25,000 course and you just
have to go all in on that brand. Like
that has to be something you're obsessed
with and something you really enjoy. I
don't like doing that. Like I don't like
going and filming cool videos and [ __ ]
like that. I don't I don't like talking
to people or making videos that much at
all. So I decide not to do that. And so
you need to look at your weight loss
business and say, "Well, these
businesses are successful. Am I willing
to do all the things they're going to do
to be successful or should I find
something that suits me a lot more?"
Which, for example, me making software
fits me 10 times better because I can
just sit at my computer right here and
be creative. And that works much better
for me than going in, for example, if
you look like what Alex is doing with
his stuff, like he is just balls to the
wall content. Like I I cannot do that. I
will not do that. I wouldn't enjoy doing
that. I'm not pooping on what he's
doing, but that's like that's not a
level I want to get to. So, I'm not
going to try and build my business the
same way like that. So, that's stuff for
you to think about.
Now he says, "How'd you get over your
fear of picking the wrong business to
start? I'm worried about picking the
rest of Druid when I should have rolled
a third that." So look in a good way you
you talked about World of Warcraft there
if we're talking about business. And so
I'm going to make a good analogy with
World of Warcraft. If you want to get
good at World of Warcraft,
the most important thing is that you
start playing. So for example, and this
is all relates back to business. I've
played basically every class and role in
World of Warcraft. I've healed, I've
tanked, I've DPSed, I've played, I don't
know, six of the different classes
throughout the decades I've I've played
World of Warcraft. I don't currently
play it right now, but the way I got
goodish at World of Warcraft, like I
played uh the I forgot what it's called,
the
the heroic dungeon or whatever, the the
dungeons where they they increase the
difficulty. I forgot what it's called.
Someone in chat will know. But I played
the the PvE at pretty high levels,
pretty decent enough levels. And the
reason why I was able to get good at it
is because I just been playing the game
for a long time. So if you want to get
good at World of Warcraft, the most
important thing is you just start
playing. Because even if you're playing
the wrong class, you're going to get to
know the areas. You're going to get to
know where the loot is. You're going to
get to know how tanks work and how
healers work and how your situation
works. And so you're not going to be
lost. And you're going to be able to
kind of translate any of that to any
other class you play. So, when you're in
business, for example, like a lot of the
things I know about info marketing, for
example, I info marketing and selling
courses wasn't for me. I I don't poop on
people that do it. Actually, I do all
the time on YouTube because I think it's
funny, but there's nothing wrong with
it. I just don't like doing it. Like,
it's it it just sucks. I don't enjoy it.
I did that for five years. It was the
wrong business for me. But all those
things taught me how to sell and do
email marketing and copywriting and more
selling and more selling and more
selling in ads. And so all those things
apply to hyros. And so all I had to do
was learn how to sell software instead
of info products. I could go and do the
same thing with an e-commerce company.
So the most important thing is when you
get in entrepreneurship, [ __ ]
everything. Just do it. Like the longer
you do it, the way your skills are going
to grow is like if you pick the wrong
business and you fail at it, you're
still going to get better because you
just learned a whole bunch of new stuff.
The way you really [ __ ] yourself up in
entrepreneurship is you do something and
then you don't try to improve at it.
Like if you pick the wrong business,
you're going to get to a point where
like, "Oh [ __ ] this doesn't work." And
you're going to do something else and
you're going to keep improving and your
skill set's going to keep improving as
an entrepreneur. What a lot of people do
is they get to like 5,000 a month in
business and they keep trying to do the
same thing over and over again and they
don't keep focusing on improving. As
long as you keep putting effort into
improving and doing it every single day,
which means raising the bar and doing
harder [ __ ] you're going to get better
by default and you're going to stumble
upon whatever business is going to make
you successful. It's not like choosing
your special Pokemon to start a Pokemon
and you're stuck with it forever. Like
it's it's just going to come to you and
you you'll get to the point where you
can make basically any business work.
The the cores of how we make Hyros work,
some of the specifics of a SAS business
are like hiring developers and working
with developers, but communicating with
teams, building teams, selling products,
it's all the same thing across business
models. You're going to learn the
nuances of whatever you get into as you
build it and get deeper into it. So,
don't worry about getting things wrong.
Is weed occasionally okay while building
business? Dude, I know people that
[ __ ] do heroin and are like [ __ ]
billionaires. See, do whatever you want.
I don't I don't care. Like, a lot of
people think I'm going to be like, "Oh,
you smoke weed. You can't do it." Or you
drink. I really really really try to
avoid alcohol. I don't smoke weed
because of all the negative effects that
come with it. But I'm not telling you
you can't be successful and do that.
Like I know degenerate [ __ ] pieces of
[ __ ] who are going to die at like 45
that makes so much money it'll make your
head explode. So I don't care. The
question is is it okay with you to be
occasionally slower uh for it to affect
your health and for it to affect your
motivation? Like the thing that I hate
the most about alcohol is three or four
days after I'm not motivated to work and
I'm not creative and I don't have access
to that part of myself. That's really
painful. And then also I lose gains in
the gym and I don't really get good
workouts. So, I don't like those things
and so that's why I try to avoid
alcohol. Now, don't get me wrong, I love
to go get [ __ ] up and wasted every now
and then. It's a blast. It's one of my
favorite things to do. I just don't do
it because it's not worth those prices
and the consequences that usually comes
with it. So, when it comes to weed, you
have to ask yourself, is being
demotivated all the time and making
yourself dumber worth it? Like, I also
don't even get why people smoke weed
because like you want to relax and
chill. The reason why you're not relaxed
and chill is because you smoke weed and
then when it's out of your system, you
get paranoid. It's the same reason why
like if you drink alcohol all the time,
you get really bored and uncomfortable
when you're not drinking around people.
It's because you you rely on the drug to
do the thing that you could be doing
normally. So, I don't see I see the
benefit of drinking because it's [ __ ]
fun. I don't see the benefit of weed.
Like, you just get sleepy and hungry and
like chill out. I think it's just kind
of a loser drug. So, you weigh all those
things and then do whatever you want.
Like, you want to go do heroin, I don't
care. Just look at the hours and your
results. If you see your results
declining because of the thing you're
abusing or or messing with, you probably
need to decide, do you want results or
do you want to mess with that thing?
Like, if you want to play eight hours of
video games a day, do it. Like, if you
can make millions of dollars a year and
play video games for eight hours a day,
go for it. I don't think you can. Okay?
So, you're going to just have to find
the balance of what you're willing to
accept. Smoking weed is going to lower
your motivation and your energy and take
away your ability to calm to chill the
[ __ ] out when you're not high.
Is that worth it to you? It's up to you.
Nine says, "Where to start as a
32-year-old beginner?" Well, you have
experience doing other stuff and you
probably have a job hopefully. So, same
thing I said at the beginning of the
stream. Go back and watch on the replay.
Get your cost as low as possible.
Keep your job if you have it. Spend all
your free time trying to learn and build
businesses. and keep focusing on getting
better every single day at it.
Eventually, if you keep focusing on
getting better and you dedicate a lot of
time into it and hard work while again
focusing on getting better, again, it's
like if you pick up a guitar and you
learn a song and you only play that one
song over and over again, you're not
going to get any better.
You got to keep upping the ante and
trying to play harder and harder stuff.
Same thing with business. You do that,
you will eventually be successful in
business or your craft or trade or
whatever you're trying to do. It's the
same thing as anything else. If you
wanted to get good at jiu-jitsu,
when you get off work, you'd go do it
and you'd keep upping the ante every
single time you do it. And the more you
did it, and the harder you tried to
improve at it, the better you would get
over time. It's the same exact thing.
How do I value value a business I want
to sell? By the checks and offers you
get. Like I see people are like, "Yeah,
my business is worth $300 million." The
reason why I say Hyros is worth
multiple nine figures almost at this
point is because we got an offer for
$150 million and we didn't take it and
the company's much bigger than that now.
So I just assume that we're closing in
on the multiple nine figures. So that's
why I value the business at that. You
can take normal SAS multiples which most
people do then do they do like a 10x on
it. That doesn't matter if no one's
going to give you a [ __ ] check. So
it's about the offers that people are
actively giving you. If if you go and
like, oh, my business is valued at $30
million, but no one's going to give you
more than $2 million or a year or two
multiples on it, then it's worth that.
So, go to the market and see what people
are willing to offer for it. Usually, if
nobody's emailing you or coming to you
to buy your business, this isn't always
true,
but you're not going to get a good offer
on it if if that's not happening. And
then it's probably not worth too much.
like you're going to get a low ball
offer in your business if there's no
other buyers for it except one person.
So, everybody asking like, "I'm young.
Where's the best place to start as a
beginner?" I've answered it two times on
this stream, so just go watch the replay
after this. It'll be probably
timestamped by YouTube.
How do you find breakage in a
marketplace? So, what Matthew's
referring to right here is my favorite
technique to make money in B2B is you
find breakage in businesses. These are
these are little gaps in their business
model where they're losing money. So,
for example, at Hyros with most tracking
companies or most people running ads
because they don't track their ads
properly, they fail to scale their ads
about 15 to 20% further and they also
waste about 10 to 15% of their ad spend.
So, if you're spending a million dollars
per month, that's nearly about
you're spending a million dollar a month
to do a million dollars back, that's
usually about like $100,000 in lost
revenue. Okay, so I think that math is
correct. If I do bad math in the stream,
you guys need to realize I'm an idiot.
So, I'm not trying to be exact there.
Anyways, that's huge breakage in the
business. They're losing a lot of money
from not tracking their ads correctly.
So, I found that breakage and I'm able
to show businesses how much more money
they will make by just plugging Hyros in
or our solution. And so, that fixes
everything for them. And then we build
them based on the money that they make
from it. So, for example, businesses
doing 100,000 a month from the ads, they
make an extra 20,000 from the ads
because they're using a house. It's very
easy for us to build them two $3,000.
And it's very easy to sell the product.
You don't have to do this to sell every
B2B product or any product in general. I
just find that's the easiest pitch ever.
I like selling a $100 bill for $20 and
so that's what I focus on. So, how do
you find breakage?
Um,
it's usually really easy if you work in
the industry. Like I ran ads for forever
and I still run ads to this day. I I
tracking was just terrible and everybody
always complained about it at at
marketing events and ad events. They
just hated they couldn't see where their
sales were coming from long term in
Facebook. So going to industry events,
working in an industry, talking to
people in the industry and just listen
to what they complain about all the time
and also look at their business model,
look at the entire way through how they
get a customer from start to finish, how
they serve their customers, and see if
there's any places in that funnel or
that that process where they're losing
money or they could add something that
would make them more money. A 3% gain
here. For example, at Air uh people lose
their customers when people come to the
website and don't buy. Air figures out
who they are and then uses AI to talk to
them to convince them to come back to
the site and buy and that automatically
adds three to five percent to their
business like that. Like we have a
business hop on, they're doing 100,000 a
month. Boom. They're making extra 10,000
bucks a month. Then that breakage that
we fix right there, I can build them
a,000 2,000 a month for it. No problem.
Because they're making 10. So that's how
you go and find breakage and that's what
you want to look for.
Matthew said Brown says, "I'm doing I'm
28. I'm in business doing 80k a month
getting leads from content, warm
outreach on LinkedIn. Should I do paid
objects or is the shiny object?" You
should do absolutely [ __ ] everything.
So, whenever I'm doing these streams for
high-rise customers or for just people
in general, the thing I get is always
like, "Should I do this thing? Should I
move on to this thing? Should I hop to
this thing?" And they want me to like
give them a situation or a yes no on it.
I'm like, "Matt, I don't know what your
business is, so I don't know if you
should do ads or not." And and frankly,
my opinion really doesn't count here.
What you should do is you should list
out everything like I said before. I've
given this answer already that could
improve your business and then you
should just [ __ ] go ham on it and
just see what happens and then give it a
really good go and just keep doing it.
So if like you're thinking, hey, maybe
ads would work, do it. Like hire
someone. Just go balls to the wall at it
and see if it works. And then if it
doesn't work, like do it even harder.
Like obviously ads are a way to scale a
business. So do it. like go very hard on
and then you should also list out five
or six other things you should be doing
and do them too. Like sit the [ __ ] down
for 10 hours, 12 hours a day and do
everything everything you possibly can
to grow to business. You will find
little chinks in the armor of business
growth and you will find these little
hooks and then you can grab onto them
and climb up to the next level. The
worst thing you can do is sit around
thinking like should I do this thing or
should I not do this thing? Lack of
action and lack of improving your skill
set of an entrepreneur is why your
business is stuck. you're not taking the
next leap or challenge and you're not
challenging yourself to do things you
don't understand. Therefore, you're
stuck and stagnant. You're not going to
like outwork what you're doing without
some changes. So, you have to take that
leap and you have to go do stuff that's
not going to work out or not going to
work out for six months and or so on and
so forth.
Are Twitter ads dead? No. I just don't
know what the [ __ ] is going on with
Twitter ads. go on there like you can
literally retarget your own customers.
Spend a thousand bucks on the internet
and you will get zero conversions. I
don't know what up what is up with
uh Twitter traffic, but it is just
cursed. I don't know why it's so bad. It
you would think if you like target
someone that follows a SAS company,
you're probably going to get like SAS
customers. You just get nothing. Like
just crickets, just clicks that don't do
anything. It's very bizarre. Elon Musk
should really fix that. It's by far the
worst traffic online, but you see
everybody using Twitter. I don't get it.
Someone said, "To scale to seven
figures, do I need to build a service
from scratch or would it be enough to do
the same as competitors but with a
better offer?" A lot of people think
seven figures is a lot of money and I
get it and I understand that it is to a
lot of people, but seven figures in
business is not a lot of money. Like you
can have just the most dog [ __ ] ragtag
goofy ass business and make millions of
dollars a year from it. Like it's not
high level. So you can get there with
unique product very easily. You can get
there. You can get there by copying
competitors. The better way to think
about this is
what's the best way to make a lot of
money in general?
You make an offer to people in a
marketplace that is underserved. You
find a niche or a sector where you can
get the where you can deliver the best
possible offer. So, for example, if
you're selling ads to local businesses,
you're not going to be the best in town.
Period. But if you niche down your offer
down to selling ads to doctors that only
do feet stuff,
put doctors, and your ads and everything
and all your funnels and everything are
optimized about around that, you have
the best offer in town and can give the
best results. Therefore, you're going to
get all those customers. And if you
deliver a really good product, they're
going to tell more people and then
you're going to get more customers and
the business is going to sell naturally.
The best way to think about things isn't
in these black and white rules, but more
down to the basic foundations. How do
you make a [ __ ] ton of money? You have
to have customers that buy your product
because it's the best possible product
in the market. Well, how do you have the
best possible product in the market? You
do what I just talked about. You niche
down and kind of hack the system that
way. Then how do you make a lot of money
from that? Well, you you then go and
sell to them and you get better at
selling these things and you make a
product so good that they continue
paying you and buying more from you and
then you just repeat this system right
here as much as you can. That sounds
very simplistic, but that's how you want
to think about. That's way better than
thinking like, can I copy people or not
copy people? There's going to be 10
different ways in experiences you're
going to have in business where
sometimes that's the answer, sometimes
that's not the answer. It's better to
get down to the core foundations that
are always the answer, which is what I
just described.
Where'd you get funding from? Hyros.
This guy. I've always been good at
making money. I was making like I don't
know uh $10 million a year in info and
like little small softwares and stuff
that I was launching in SEO and stuff
before Hyros. So that's where I got the
money from. I don't I don't like raising
money. I don't like giving people chunks
of my company. I like to own the vast
lion share max max max max max majority
of my companies as I can. I don't like I
don't like taking investors and stuff
like that.
Someone said, "What's the mustache?"
It's funny. You You guys wait. I'm going
to dye my hair blonde here or or bleach
blonde here soon because it looks
ridiculous for crypto. Just get those
clicks.
How do you think AI is changing search
ads opportunities? They might use GPT
instead of Google. I mean, it already
is. And I think I think GPT and Google
are just going to start putting ads in
their their AIS. That's what I see
happening.
Is software the best way to go as far as
making money? No. There's so many
different ways to make money. I know
people that have the weirdest ass
business models uh and do all sorts of
weird [ __ ] Like I have a friend who has
a light bulb company that does like $30
million a year. Like you can make money
doing anything. You just have to be good
at it. The best way to make money is to
have the best product in the in the
space so that you get all the customers
and everybody wants to come to you and
you're known for it and then keeping
those customers and getting them to
spend more and then using the customer's
results and the brand awareness of your
product plus really good marketing to
get more customers in and repeating that
over and over. It doesn't matter what
you're doing. If you focus on those
fundamentals, you're going to win. If
you don't have the best product and you
don't keep your customers and you don't
get a lot of results, they're not going
to have a good business. It sounds so
stupid, but it's true. Most people don't
focus on that. They don't have the best
product. Why can't I sell your product?
Because there's 15 other people that are
better than you. Well, why am I not
making more money? Because your
customers leave and they don't get
results.
You don't like if you look at all the
these info businesses and stuff out, the
reason why people lose their customers
and they don't scale the giant money
because people don't come back and buy
more. It's just that simple. So, if you
focus on these fundamental things,
that's going to get you so [ __ ] far.
Uh I'm gonna I'm going to tap on that
over and over again in the stream
because just people they think it's
going to be some complex thing where
like just a really good example the
other day you Alexi stream he sold an
info product in the same exact way info
products been sold for the last 50
[ __ ] years did 100 million in a day
base business fundamentals
that's it. So I'm I'm sure there's a ton
of people watching this stream right now
to sell info products but you can't do
that. Why?
You're not focusing on the fundamentals
and building the brand and the
relationships with customers that they
are. It's that simple. It's not like he
got on stream and said something
magical. And so that's where you need to
take your focus to.
Uh Ipo says, "Hey, I'm I'm 18 years old.
I'm 18 years old and I make about 15k a
month with my agency. There's this BMW
M4 I want to buy for 80K. Should I go
ahead and buy it or reinvest all my
money into it? So, I'm not the guy going
to ask because as soon as I made like a
little bit of money, I'm like
Lamborghini. And I just went and bought
I first bought a Maserati and then I was
like got even more successful a few
months later. I'm like, "Fuck the
Maserati. I want a Lamborghini." So, I
went and bought a Lamborghini. And it
wasn't like I could barely afford it,
but I definitely could have invested my
money better at the time.
So, probably not the guy to ask.
Just ignore that. Ignore that. I'm I'm
much I'm much richer now than when I got
my first Lamborghini. I can actually
just afford that one behind me. Just
shits and giggles cash. But
look, it's up to you what you want to
do, man. If you want to go get the BMW,
it's not going to help you. It's not
going to help you scale your business,
and it's going to add more. It's going
to hold you back, especially at 15K a
month. That thing's probably 1 to 2,000
a month in hard cost. So, you're not
going to take the risk that you should
be taking because you have to pay for
the [ __ ] BMW. Okay? It's like, for
example, I have the Lambo behind me.
Like, I I that you could light that
thing on [ __ ] fire and blow it up. I
could lose all my money. I don't like
it's not going to affect me at all. It's
not affecting my ability to take risk
with my businesses. If you have the BMW
and you're making 15k a month and in
after taxes you're like at 10k a month,
you're dedicating one fifth of your
income anywhere around there to paying
for the [ __ ] car. You're not going to
take the same level of risk and you're
going to grow slower. So,
do you do you mind growing slower? If
the answer is yes, don't get the car. If
you really want the car, go get it. I I
I don't I don't care if you get it or
not. I I I know you want to go have that
first thing of success. Cool.
You're just not going to grow as fast or
take the same action. So, you're just
going to balance out what you want.
What are your thoughts on $100 million
Money Models by Alex? Um, I've dug
through it a little bit, but I mean I'
I've known Alex for so long. We come
from kind of the same school of internet
marketing. I'm not claiming to be as
good as Alex is when it comes to like
generating revenue and sales and market.
He's 10 times better at than I am.
A lot of the things that Alex talks
about I've been living for the last 15
17 years of my life. Like a lot of all
these these things we come from the same
exact class of internet marketers. Me,
him, Russell Brunson, Sam Evans. Like
it's the same high school class of
internet marketers. Uh Russell Brunson
owns ClickFunnels, Sam owns school. Uh
Alex obviously you know acquisition. So,
a lot of the things he does and
everything like I've just been doing for
so long that I I know they work. And the
thing I'm thinking about Alex and how he
breaks it down is Alex has a superpower
of breaking down things and making it so
people can really understand them. And I
think he's the best teacher of these
things and also the best applier of good
old basic fundamental uh marketing and
sales tactics. So, I think it's
incredible and I think everyone should
read his stuff. He's he's the best there
is online at the moment of actually
teaching this stuff by far. Like by
leagues,
multiples of five at least.
Someone said touch the Lambo. People
always say it's fake.
I can afford a car, guys. Don't worry. I
don't I don't have to stoop to using AI.
I I can afford a car. I've had enough
success that I could buy a Lamborghini.
You can you can trust me on that. You
don't have to trust me on anything else.
But
Damian says, "What are your thoughts on
dildo coin? The crypto people are here.
Please turn it on." You notice I'm in an
enclosed spa space, right?
No, I'm not going to do it. Like I'm not
going to open my garage, make this room
super hot, and then fill it with the
smoke and everything. If you don't want
to believe it's real, then I actually
take it as a compliment because like the
amount of effort it would take to get a
fake Ferrari, I mean a fake Lamborghini
in here, get all the seating,
everything, but just not have the engine
in it or something like removed, that
would take way more effort than just
going and buying a [ __ ] car. So,
whatever. Either way, I'm doing
something impressive.
What's your secret to writing persuasive
YouTube intros?
I'll give you a little blueprint here in
a second, but the thing you need to
focus on is what is what's going to hook
and keep the viewer there and what does
the viewer want. So, for example, like
the reason why my crypto videos do
really well and I don't they do much
better than other crypto channels is
because I know exactly what the viewer
wants and I focus on that in the video
and I constantly hook and bait them with
it. So, what people want in crypto is
extremely fast, cheeky [ __ ] gains.
That's the only thing they [ __ ] care
about. And they want to know what coin
is going to pump next. And what you have
to do when you're starting a video is
you have to one confirm that that's what
they they they came to the right place.
So, you notice any of my intros, I get
that in there with the jokes. You have
to catch their attention, which is why I
do all the hyperbole and crazy [ __ ] in
the the crypto videos. And then you have
to demonstrate competence, which is why
you see me talk about the results and
coins that have moved that I've
mentioned in past videos. And then you
have to double down on the results
you've gotten, which is where people get
hooked. And then you have to get into
the actual content and confidently
reference where you're going to take
them to or that end destination. You'll
notice a lot of videos I don't talk
about altcoins or anything until about
25 minutes in. That increases my watch
time. So those are things to think
about. What you actually want to do is
you want to use these hooks and baits to
actually teach people. So, I use these
gimmicky things in crypto, the the crack
cocaine to lure people into actually
learning about crypto and how to do it
somewhat [ __ ] correctly. No one's
going to make money doing crypto.
Everyone's going to lose all their
money. I'm I'm honest about that in the
videos, but that's how you want to go
and structure videos and that's how you
want to think about it. When it comes to
intro to themselves, I like to do the
full hook and everything in the first
two minutes and then break down what
they're going to learn and then get
straight into the content. And then you
just want to be changing very rapidly
through the the video. So, changing
screens, changing topics, moving like
that while constantly baiting to like
the end reward of what they're looking
for.
Those are some things that will help.
That's cool, Jake. I'm doing three mil a
month. That's awesome.
I don't have any time to advise anything
right now. Abs. I'm I'm flattered by it,
but I I am head down on Hyros. I don't
want to think about anybody other other
people's businesses, but that is [ __ ]
awesome where you're at right now. I'm
very proud of you, man. That's that's
good news. Good for you.
So, what's your target audience for this
live stream? We have all our high-risisk
customers. We have people that want to
start businesses. We have general people
that are just here to watch me yabber.
The point of this entire channel is just
to grow my personal brand in the
internet marketing space. So, it's big
enough that lots of mass businesses
listen to me in general. And then when
they listen to me, they're inevitably
going to hear about Hyros Air, which
fits into every business and increases
their revenue by like 3%. You just put
on your website, you make more money,
period. And um then that will naturally
lead people to the site. Very similar.
You saw like how Alexis has grown his
brand and now people are joining school.
same exact thing.
If you did a business channel for your
businesses, why do you do your crypto
channel? The main reason I do the crypto
channel is one because I have a lot of
fun with it, but two, the amount of
following and awareness I have in the
space basically allows me to seed invest
and do VC deals and angel investment
deals that I could never ever ever get
as a normal person. So, for example,
there's constantly new exchanges, new
technology, new AI stuff that's
launching in the crypto space. And I'm
not just talking about like getting in
coins and like ICOs early. Like, there's
a lot of really cool technology that's
constantly launching, new businesses
that are starting that I'm able to get
VC and angel deals in because of my
reputation in the space and how large it
is. So, one of the main reasons I do it
there is because it gives me one of the
best investment opportunities early and
ba basically any crypto project I want.
not just little like shitcoin ICOs, but
like large technical big giant future of
the world companies. And so I take a lot
of money I make and hyros and then I use
it for angel deals for all sorts of
blockchain check because I think it's
going to rule the world. If I didn't
have a couple million followers and the
most viewed
views per video crypto channel in the
space, I wouldn't be able to get into
those deals and no one would want my
money. So that's one of the main reasons
I do the crypto channel because it's
I've made a lot of money not from coins
and stuff like that. I' I've made some
good money in gains and coins, trust me.
Uh, and all the things I talk about on
the channel, alt season, and all that
stuff, I think it's still coming. I
think we're about to make a [ __ ] ton of
money. On top of that, I've made a lot
of money investing in crypto companies
and and new exchanges launching and new
dexes and all sorts of stuff like that,
you know? So, that's one of the reasons
I do it.
A lot of questions.
Can you grow a brand on Tw You don't
grow your brand on Twitter. You grow
your ad on YouTube and in you grow your
brand on YouTube and Instagram and you
talk to your audience on Twitter. The
reason why I have a big following on
Twitter is because I have a really big
YouTube channel. People didn't start
following me on Twitter until YouTube.
It's the same thing for everything else.
You don't build a brand on Twitter. It's
the laziest, most loweffort, lowrisk
comfort zone way you could try to build
a brand, which is why a lot of people
that do it, they don't really ever get
anywhere, you know? Um, so I wouldn't do
it.
So, someone said, "How would you feel
about missing out on friends and outings
because you're so busy building
businesses?" Well, if you're young, I
wouldn't give a [ __ ] because all the
people that you're hanging out with,
you're not going to see post 30,
especially if you're like
entrepreneurial driven. Like, all your
boys in your 20s and stuff like that.
Granted, a lot of my friends
from my 20s are successful entrepreneurs
now. Um, I'm actually,
yeah, I mean, I say I'm a lot of my
friends are entrepreneurs, so I am happy
that I, uh, hung out with them. There's
tons of other people and all I made so
much time for hanging out and like doing
stuff with friends. Like, it doesn't
[ __ ] matter. You're not going to know
any of these people past 35. And so,
you're just going to like sacrifice the
most important thing, which is like your
goals and your ambitions and like having
money [ __ ] handled to hang out with
people that you're not even going to
talk to. you'll maybe see them once a
year past 35. Like there's no what do
you I I get it if you want to like have
spend time with your kids or your
parents or something else like that, but
like you don't need to be spending every
48 hours every single weekend with your
parents either. You don't need to be
spending 15 hours a day with your kids.
People disagree with me on that. I just
don't [ __ ] care. That's my opinion.
And so, um, yeah, I don't I don't I
don't think you should really prioritize
those things because they just don't
matter and you're not going to talk to
any of these people in the future
anyways. So, what is going to matter is
when you're 35 and you want to start a
family and you're going to start making
your long-term friends that you really
spend like a lot of time with. Like the
people that I talk to the most now are
not friends I had in my 30s. And I
wouldn't know those people unless I
built my businesses and got to the level
of success that I am right now. You
might be thinking, "Well, sucks that,
you know, only they'd only be friends
with you because you're successful."
Yes, killers like to hang out with
killers. That's just what it is. If you
don't like that, then I'm sorry. It's
It's kind of selfish and and
self-centered, but that's how people
operate. And so that I wouldn't have any
of those things or be able to fund my
family or do whatever the [ __ ] I want
whenever I want if I hadn't focused so
much of my time on building businesses
and making money. And I love my
day-to-day life now. So, I'm really
happy I did it. I would be really pissed
off if I invested even more time in
hanging out with people. So, I just
wouldn't do any of it. Just 20.
Dude, go move to a [ __ ] Aiza if you
want to have a good time. If you It's
okay if you want to have a good time. Go
move to [ __ ] Aiza. Get a bar job.
Split an apartment with five other
dudes. Work your [ __ ] ass off while
you're there. Get a bar job. Go hit on
chicks. Do whatever you're going to do.
But focus on the business. Like, you're
not going to have any of your friends
from your 20s or you're going to barely
very rarely see them.
And I guarantee you, I guarantee you at
35 or wherever when you're like you've
made it and you're very rich and
successful, you're not going to be like,
"Oh man, I really wish I'd gone to the
bar a few more times. I missed out on
No, you're not. You're going to look at
your [ __ ] house in your life and all
the cool things you've done and who
you've become as a person and be like,
"Wow, I'm I'm happy I I'm happy I
sacrificed a little bit."
Do you have any interest in video game
dev?
I love coding video games and I love
making video games. Like the ultimate
form of creative art. I just think it's
such a hard [ __ ] business model that
I don't
I don't pursue it. Like I I can code
stuff up in Java and and forgot what the
it's not coming to me right now. I
forget things all the time. But I can
code up games in Java, all sorts of
really easy. I'm pretty good at it, too.
But it's just you can't make money doing
it unless most games fail. Most of them
don't make money. And in even the ones
that do, it's just like it's not even
that much money.
There's examples like Fortnite and
everything that are different, but just
it's just hard. So that's why I haven't
pursued that. Are you an Elio lovers?
Yes, I'm gay as [ __ ] How did you know?
What if the game made folks money? Goal
is for me to make money. I don't care if
it makes people money.
I'm going to make that game to make me
money. I don't I'm trying to get other
people rich.
I'd make the sleaziest little Farmville
money extraction [ __ ] game
you've ever seen. That's probably what I
would start with if I was making games.
I don't I don't want to do that. And
how to start gathering a team for
software development. The best thing to
do is to hire a CTO that can do that for
you. Whether he owns an agency, which is
very common these days. A lot of a lot
of people have like an agency they add
developers to and they build a lot of
projects and then if the project works
they like dedicate the team to you.
That's the best way to do it. If you're
if you've never worked in tech or
anything like that before, you really
don't need to be hiring developers. You
need a CTO and his job is to find a
developer talent and hire them.
Should I start as tutoring SAS company?
I don't know. Should you do you want to
Would you like to make more money? Then
you should probably start the company.
If I don't care what you do, dude. If
you want to sit in your house and
[ __ ] jerk off and do heroin, I'm
fine. But that's cool. Like, don't come
to me for advice right here. I'll tell
like you can you can fall to whatever
level of filth you want. That's it's
fine with me, buddy.
Can you make big money if you never want
to scam or lie to people, even 1%, or is
it slower? I don't even know what to
[ __ ] do with that question, dude. The
fact that you think you have to lie and
scam people to make money. Like,
I think you need to go and I think you
need to sit down and ask yourself why
you're so [ __ ] jaded.
Why are you so grumpy? Because that's
that question makes no sense. Like, go
go go
like you look at businesses all day.
Like, look at all the stuff you bought
and you're like, I'm looking at this
microphone right now. The person who
made this probably a multi-millionaire.
Did he scam me? Did he lie to me?
The problem with with making money is
not the fact that you can't do it
without lying and scamming. It's it's
that you have some really weird limiting
beliefs and you need to go sit down,
read some echard toll and and just get
this [ __ ] out of your system, buddy.
Talk about Sam Evans. He has fantastic
hair these days. Just have you seen his
mana?
Very handsome. Very handsome. This is
going to add to the the gay saga going
on here. Um,
is it okay to eat cake and coffee every
day?
I'm sure people watching the stream
like, "Why does he keep picking the
stupid questions?" It's because the
really short questions are easy for me
to read. If Here's a pro tip. If you
want your question answered, don't write
a book. I'm not going to read it all on
stream. It just takes too long to read
and it's it's hard.
All right. So,
uh, what was the question? Can I eat
cake and coffee, dude?
Whenever you guys ask me like, should I
do or not do this thing, you have to
understand, and I mean this in the
nicest way possible. I don't give a [ __ ]
about your life. I I love you. Thank you
so much for being here. It's great. But
like, I got other things going on in my
life than worrying about whether you eat
cake and coffee. Look, man, if you want
to wake up every morning and pound eight
[ __ ] cappuccinos and eat a cake and
take a cosmic [ __ ] later in that day and
just get fat and gross and have a heart
attack from drinking too much coffee,
like, do it. Like, if you're happy, do
it. Whatever you want to do in your life
and you want to chase after,
do it. So, if that's your life goal, by
all means. But what you need to also do
when you're asking questions like this
is analyze like, what do I actually want
out of life? I don't eat cake every
single day because I like having a
six-pack and looking good. I don't like
logging. I've gotten into fat a few
times over the years in some of these
videos, and I always look at myself in
the videos. I'm like, you look [ __ ]
fat, and I don't like that. So, that's
why I don't eat cake. And so, you have
to analyze what you want out of life.
And I like having a six-pack and being
fit, so I don't eat cake. Okay.
Now, I do drink coffee. The reason I
drink coffee is because I love uppers.
So, obviously, I'm going to drink
coffee. That [ __ ] up my sleep. So, I've
obviously put coffee ahead of sleep in
some instances. So, you just got to ask
yourself, what do you want? I like doing
uppers more than I like sleeping. Well,
there you go. That's why I drink coffee.
You should put yourself through the same
mental gymnastics I do to figure out
what you want to do. It's not about what
Alex Becker thinks you should do with
your life.
Stephan says, "How do you hire and find
good people?" So,
the first answer is just go do it and
try. The reason I'm able to find good
people and hire good people consistently
is because I just did it. I've just done
it for a long time. That's it. Like, how
do you throw a football? Well, you go
out there and you just start throwing
the football. Now, some few general tips
that you want to look for.
I'm gonna try do it without being too
vague.
You want to find people that are doers,
aka when they they're they're
accountable and they're doers. This is
just one of many tips. These are people
that when they see a problem, they just
roll up their sleeves and do it. And
then they also take accountability for
everything. So, they don't like wait for
other people to do things and they blame
themselves for everything. You also want
to find people the best the best because
I' i've hired a lot of great people in
my time. And I don't think it's because
I'm fantastic at it. I think I just got
lucky. But the sign you've hired someone
great is that when you give them a
system, they just naturally start making
it better without you needing to tell
them what to do. And then they find
things in the company in their area and
they just keep making it better and
better without you telling them what to
do. And if after six months you're still
telling them what to do and they don't
know everything they're doing way better
than you do, you probably kind of hired
the same per the wrong person. Now, this
doesn't apply to everything. Like, this
is for the leadership of your company
that's going to be hiring other
employees. Um,
yeah, that's just the best general tip.
I mean, I could I could go on like a
30-minute rant about hiring
and all the generalities around it. I
don't think I'd be very good at teaching
that because like a lot of things I do,
I just use my gut, which isn't useful
for teaching. Uh, I would go find other
people on YouTube. For example, there's
all these interviews with really good
COOs, like the the COO of Stripe, uh, I
forgot her name, but there's an hourong
interview and all she does is talk about
hiring. So, find the CEOs, the COOs
usually are the people doing the hiring
at these companies and the team
management and then watch them. Look at
companies that you idolize, find who
their COO is, and then go watch it. And,
uh, that's how you're going to really
learn all the the little tips about
hiring. Leila Hozi, fantastic. like the
best hirer, COO person you could ever
learn from. That's another great place
to learn from. Me, I just use my gut and
I don't have my thoughts always broken
down like they do. So, they're probably
better resources.
When will you write a new book? I don't
I don't like writing books. I don't want
to do books. There there was hundreds of
hours of me talking on YouTube. I think
that's enough. I think that's enough
information.
I have a local business. Would you start
with Google ads or made ads first?
Google ads in that instance because you
can actually advertise around you
advice on how to learn copy and sales
fast. You go and try and sell something
and then what's going to happen is it's
not going to sell and you're going to go
and then you're going to be motivated to
try and sell it better and then you're
going to like read a book on copywriting
and you're going to try again and you're
going to write the page and you're going
to see everything that's wrong from that
book you wrote and say, "Oh, this is
shit." And you're going to rewrite it
again. Like for example, if you go and
look at the uh
the hyra site, every page on this site
is copywritten by me. Every single
little thing, every I think you can see
my screen. Everything that's on here is
copyrighted me. Design everything. Of
course, graphic designers made it, but
everything every page of the site is
copywritten
by me. The reason I'm able to do that is
because I've written so many of these
damn sales pages and so many long form
info pages and so many webinars and all
these things that I know how to
copyright. And so the way I did it is I
don't I' I've read a lot of copywriting
books and everything back in the day.
Like I've read all the Dan Kennedy books
and all the sales books and everything.
Eventually I just stopped reading them
and I just start doing these things and
you send you eventually kind of see what
works and what doesn't and then you get
a flow for it. So the best way most of
the time guys is just to do it.
You want to get good at jiu-jitsu, you
got to go fight people. You got to go
put the You got to go do the stuff and
put it to the test.
Uh, I think this is it. Yeah.
Uh, few more questions. I'm going to hop
off.
How to offramp large amounts in the
banks without being flagged. Who do you
guys think I am?
Current diet. It depends if I'm trying
to lose weight or not. So, if I'm like
trying to lose weight, I'm going to eat
broccoli chicken breast.
I'm gonna make this ice cream, the thing
I talked about, which is like you can
make this much ice cream. It's only like
300 calories. And I'm going to eat like
a lot of food like squash that has high
high volume and little calories.
if I'm going to be trying to put on
muscle and everything, which I need to
do. I actually lost way too much weight
recently, uh, experimenting with this
last diet. So, now what I'm doing is I'm
eating lot uh lots of steak, berries,
and more broccoli, and that ice cream I
talked about, and then, uh,
squash, and yeah, and grilled chicken
breast. Just get your calories and
macros right, and eat clean.
Dave said, "Huge question. When did you
incorporate employees in the option
pool? My product business does around 1
million ABD." Like, you don't need to
worry about this stuff. Like, you're
this is this is playing business stuff.
Just pay your employees. Well, just
or see what they want. I really don't
like if I could go back in time, I'm
really happy that a lot of the people at
Hyros got equity that did, but I gave a
little bit of people too much equity. I
still own like the lion's like max like
cheeky amount of ownership of Hyros
because I invested in everything. So I
own like
most of it. But even that that little
bit that I gave away, I am happy that
I've made a lot of my employees
millionaires. I would have structured a
little bit differently or I if I could
start over again, I just would have paid
people more money to not give away
equity because I just like owning as
much as I possibly can in my companies
because it's more motivating because
then you just see your net worth
skyrocket because of your direct
actions. So, I would just like not do
it. Just pay them more money. They'll
take it.
Tell us about the company you sold to
Click Funnels. I made a a company called
Conquer, which was basically an SEO
fiber, and
it did pretty well. It got to like 70
80,000 a month, and then I sold it to
Clickfunnels because they wanted to
build like a funnel Rolex. And then I
think ClickFunnels just absolutely
bombed and killed the thing. And then my
buddy made a clone of it called legit.
And I think that does still very well to
this day.
So Laflame says, "How do you get
motivated?" And I'm going to give you an
answer that nobody else gives. So
everybody's going to tell you like,
"Find the thing you're really into." Or
like, "Fuck motivation. Just do it." Uh,
no matter how you feel. You're going to
you're going to get some range of
answers like that. Like find the thing
that drives you and wakes you up in the
morning or [ __ ] your emotions, just sit
around and grind your teeth. I don't
think that's the case. Because I wake up
and I'm motivated every single day and
I'm excited to do stuff. So, I'm going
to tell you why. And it's not because I
do something that specifically speaks to
my soul. Like, Hyros, I didn't just wake
up one day, I'm like, ad tracking and
analytics is my [ __ ] thing. I don't
It's not something I would have gotten
into if the money wasn't so good.
So, how do you get motivation?
So, I think the reason why most people
aren't motivated is the same reason I
can get unmotivated. If I get around and
I start drinking and I eat bad food and
I don't take care of myself and I don't
hold myself to higher standards and I
include a lot of distractions in my life
like Twitter and overload all my
dopamine uh by doing all sorts of the
dopamine things. I'm sure you guys have
seen all the dopamine detox videos out
there, I'm not going to be motivated.
So, for example, if I'm playing World of
Warcraft, I'm routinely drinking on the
weekends, I'm eating bad lowquality
food, I will have zero motivation. And I
think the reason why most people aren't
motivated
to find stuff that they're interested in
and have energy is because their brains
are [ __ ] It's just that simple. If
you remove all these things and then
start I'll give you the second part here
in a second. If you remove all these
things, you're naturally just going to
be motivated. Like, you're not going to
want to sit in your room and do nothing.
Get rid of the [ __ ] television. Get
rid of all your video games. Clean up
your diet. Stop smoking pot and
drinking. Stop doing all stop get off
social media and stop overloading your
brain. Stop mounting the mount. Stop
mounting the manicore. You old viewers
know what I mean there. And uh see what
comes up. You're probably going to see
yourself become motivated. Now the
second part of that is find ways to free
your time so that you can do things that
you're motivated to do and enjoy them
and explore that. So what does that
mean? A lot of people have a job and
they have a a lifestyle which is keeps
them in the job. So if you're making
100,000 a year but you need $40,000 a
year, you're not going to quit your job.
You can just reduce your lifestyle so
you only need $10,000 per year. just
move to [ __ ] Wyoming and you'll have
all this free time where you can like
lower your hours at your job and then
focus on the thing you're passionate
about and you're going to be motivated
because you're like doing stuff you
enjoy every day.
That's it. Like I naturally want to wake
up and work on my business. I naturally
want to lift and uh lift weights and and
exercise. I naturally want to do the
crypto videos. Like I enjoy doing it. I
don't have to try to be motivated for
that because I keep myself clean. I
swear to you, the second I start
drinking or eating cake or playing video
games, I don't give a [ __ ] Like if I'm
playing World of Warcraft and I don't
care if my business is making hundreds
of thousands of dollars a day, I'm like
this tanking quest, this tanking
dungeon, and my gear level is
unacceptable. I I'm going to work an
hour on Hyros a day and then I'm going
to tank for eight hours straight. I've
done that before. Like I put I put
multi-million dollar business to the
side and be like, "Time to [ __ ]
tank." I will do the same exact thing as
you do. So fix those things first and I
promise you, you'll probably find
motivation to do something productive.
I think we hit the hour. All right,
guys. We hit the hour. I'm gonna go I'm
gonna go lift. Actually, give me an X if
you enjoyed this. And we'll do this
every Tuesday, I think. How many people
do we have on right now? I haven't
checked. I think we Let's go.
Ah, X's, you enjoyed it. Good. I guess I
did a decent job.
Oh, 1100 people watching. That's pretty
good. PC.
>> That's That's like better than uh it's
better than my crypto streams. Okay,
guys. Well, hey, uh I know I'm usually a
dick in these videos, but I do really
appreciate you guys coming and attending
today. I'll be doing these every Tuesday
going forward, or maybe every Thursday.
I don't know. I'm very disorganized.
I'll do them I'll do them every week
probably. And um uh if you're Hyris
customer, we [ __ ] love you. Thank you

not a Hyris customer, you should go to
hyris.com. You should go look at the
website because I mean it's just
beautiful. I mean just look at that. Oh,
look at these design. Look at the Oh my
look at the rainbows. Like this is just
dope. I mean right here. And then maybe
you should consider buying because like
you'll make more money. We guarantee it
or you don't have to pay for it. Like we
actually guarantee it if you plug in and
don't make more money from air or our
tracking. You don't have to pay for it.
Guaranteed. That's why all the the
famous people use our our tracking. If
you've ever seen it, it's it's pretty
cool. I'll just go back to the homepage.
Like you can see all the really cool
people that use our tracking. Yeah, it's
it's [ __ ] phenomenal. So you should
uh you should check it out when you get
bored later. So
great sales pitch, right? All right.
