Solopreneurs Doing $1M or More...

[MTF]

Yeah, great video from Noah. Damn, he talks fast.

LOL I usually listen to his videos at 2x but this one was so fast I had to slow it down haha. He's been producing some incredibly valuable videos recently. Love these little case studies with all the behind the scenes.

This business makes me cringe.

I'm not hating on the guy. Glad he is making it in life.

But the business he is in, that is what makes me cringe.

There are like several dozen of these startups doing the same thing and they always appear on AppSumo for $69 LTD and it ruin's it for people who are actually trying to reach out, via cold outreach, to these same companies already.

He addresses that:

Many agencies must be using these lists!​

• Excellent observation, but no.
• The number of subscribers for the monthly list is still in the 10s!
• That is because I have high prices by design and constantly increase them.

But how - I've seen your revenue!​

• I know, right?!
• Well, most of the revenue comes from the "Done For You" service I offer.
• The newsletter remains small on purpose.

Yes, he has a sucky business model. I can bet 90% of his biz comes from the work he does for people not those stupid newsletters and lists LOL

I’m in the same biz, and we never share lists publically or re-use them for companies. Every lead gen process is custom built.

Also, I saw some his data. And his info isn’t up to date, I know because I have some of the same info in our biz.

Like I said above, he's upfront that most of his income comes from the productized service part of the business.

So why doesn’t he get rid of the sucky front of his business, which is the public list? His thinking probably goes like “uhhh these guys will be impressed by this list which will convince them to sign up for my DFY service”

Nah — big hitters don’t waste their time.

There are online databases that you can pay for that have much more up to date data about some of the same companies. Getting a list of companies that recently received funding is… a problem that has been solved already.

The entire secret is in knowing how to set up an outbound campaign that generates results. This requires years of sales experience at a high level AND industry experience, since this process differs from industry to industry.

I can set appointments for almost any agency out there. Because I’ve been doing this for 10+ years. It will be slightly more difficult for me to do the same for real estate, for example, since I have little experience of the industry and hence little understanding of what drives people to action.

That’s why I’m not worried about competition. I can tell anyone how I do everything, they won’t be able replicate my results since they lack my experience.

Great story about don't hire until you need to. I feel too many people hire too early and end up shooting themselves in the foot. I feel like this model will become a lot more popular as more and more millennials get into business.

People are finally starting to see that bringing on employee's & government regulation into your business isn't worth the headache. It stinks if your an employee but hey those are the cards you choose.

It's going to be interesting to see that once the next recession happens and jobs collapse again how will the government respond to regulations with hiring employee's and stimulating small business for economic growth.

The recession and pandemic threw alot of people into gig economy and entrepreneurship. Seems to resemble a model of long ago. I say good, we need people invested in what they do.
