    For those that think money is non-zero sum game

    MINDSET 
    To do so, I would be out ten chickens regardless. And the economics argument is yes I would do this if I received more marginal value and no if I didn't receive more marginal value, but then again this was not the point of the thread as stated specifically.

    For those that think money is non-zero sum game

    MINDSET 
    Enlighten me. Where are the fundamental conceptual errors? I'm really not sure what these Zimbabwean children have to do with any of this. We could talk about semantics on rich, wealthy, or whatever but that's really not the point. It's more important to me to have an accurate view of how the...

    For those that think money is non-zero sum game

    MINDSET 
    I want you to change my mind... I have thought about this a lot. I have done research and I still cannot get to the place where I am seeing "the experts" point of view. Gurus will tell you that money is everywhere, that it is in abundance. That there is plenty out there. They even say that...

    Cold Calling Challenge - Too Many Leads

    EXECUTION 
    Inspired by what @Vilox did in his 30 day cold calling challenge I have done the same the past week, calling businesses that definitely need a website and seeing how I could help. In the past week, I made 182 calls and got 5 new leads. From anyone who wants a new site and is interested in...

    Making Money With Web Design 2017/2018

    What about prospecting? You talk a lot about solving people's problems with the website, how do you first start this? Say for example, do you start with and say I want to work with someone that has a lot of money? Okay let's try lawyers, then do you just call up a bunch of lawyers and try to...

    Creating an SaaS startup without being able to code.

    EXECUTION SAAS / APPS 
    This reads to me like, we didn't have a good website so we missed out on clients. Of course I am not aware of how you are selling it with a website currently and a website can be part of the puzzle, but I don't think this should be as big of an issue. I do agree on what you alluded to in...

    Client acquisition for a cryptocurrency development team.

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    Ask your team for a current client profile. He should be able to give you the typical demographics of the current clientele and you can use that to replicate it to find the new clientele.

    Convince me to buy / not buy a new car

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It's not really true. As a for instance, one car may get you the deal and another car might make you look like a potential failure to a client, preventing you from getting the deal. Of course, it may be the opposite and the client could feel sorry for you, but just an example. One kind of car...

    Lex DeVille's: Guru Cults Exposed: The Tactics "Experts" Use To Pull You In & Suck You Dry

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    This censorship is bull. For the reasons you listed, that is even more trash. What is useful is often the things that go overlooked. We are not looking for likes, engagement or comments. This isn't social media and @GMSI7D is not trying to be a Kardashian. What is most often engaged upon in...

    Providing Value DOES NOT Equal Money

    HOT! 
    THE PROBLEM WITH VALUE I like providing people with value, making their life better, but there is a very real and very big problem with having it by me focus of my business efforts. I'm liking this thought process more: Again value is too subjective for our purposes and unclear for our...

    Providing Value DOES NOT Equal Money

    HOT! 
    Some great responses. In all honesty, my whole intent of this post was to challenge this new conclusion I came to. My hope was that it could be destroyed with logic and objectivity since I had so long clinged to the idea that providing people value would bring me money. It's one of those ideas...

    WE ARE DEPENDENT ON OTHERS IN ORDER TO MAKE MONEY Another thought or concept that might smack you in the face. Hell, I still feel goosebumps when I think of this. If making money means that we have to convince others to give us that money (whether by providing them value, making them think...

    Providing Value DOES NOT Equal Money

    HOT! 
    Totally agree with this, and the only difference in what I was proposing in my view is semantics. Whether or not you convince someone or somehow you are convinced is irrelevant for our discussion. As regards to other points, nothing in any of what I have said has been illogical, it's my intent...

    It's just not true. It can happen and does often, but it's not an absolute. Great example Mr. Shampoo. Let's take two examples to prove this: Girl 1: sees the shampoo marketing loves it, feels that her life will be better, buys (this was all convincing someone to give you their money), and...

    Providing Value DOES NOT Equal Money

    HOT! 
    The problem lies with us judging it. Like this: When we say something should be free or it should be worth x amount of dollars that is our judgment. This judgment takes place all the way from $2 ebooks to $10,000 masterminds and there is only really one judgment that matters, the market's...

    Providing Value DOES NOT Equal Money

    I searched the internet and traveled the world looking for an answer to this question. When I began, I looked at online gurus courses, their webinars, and all of the things they had to say about starting an online business. Unfortunately I even hired a business coach who I thought would help...

    Sales - To Reveal Price Before Phone Call?

    This is along the exact lines that I was thinking. What I didn't know however, was many of the local construction companies have an aversion to new online business. So while I would use a new site to bring in more business, they have found that in their business they are seeing more time wasters...

    Sales - To Reveal Price Before Phone Call?

    These were along the lines that I was thinking. To be honest, I don't believe enough value has been built up in the prospects eyes for him to go forward with a few thousand dollar site. I like this approach the best. What I showed him, I thought would build up some value and what I think he...
