One of the biggest problems we have in the world today, too many humans have encouraging words that they give to another person that cost them nothing but the intention and care to do it. And they withhold. I mean, you don't have to go take any money out your checking account. You don't have to put anything on your credit card. Walk past a human being and rather look at the ground than to acknowledge the God likeness in another human being.
"See Myron, I thought you were talking about words creating your wealth." I am. Cuz guess what? All of the money that you want that you don't have right now is in somebody else's pocket. And if you're mean and rude and disillusioned and negative, nobody wants to give it to you. That's fact. It's fact.
0:42 The Four Levels of Value
When God created everything in Genesis chapter one, one of the things he created in Genesis chapter one is this concept that I call the Four Levels of Value. In fact, I'm gonna do it on the board. I know some of you have seen it before, some of you haven't. So I'm gonna do it for those who haven't, for those of you have, and bear with me.
So the Four Levels of Value. This is in Genesis chapter one, by the way. And in Genesis chapter one, there are so many success principles. It's almost like God gave us a wink and said " in case you don't get to chapter two, I want you to be alright." There are four levels of value. And what's interesting about the Four Levels of Value is you can pretty much determine how much money somebody makes based on which level they are. And the lowest level of value is implementation. What does that mean? Okay.
1:26 God is a God of Abundance
Remember I said "language is spiritual?" Remember I said "language is spiritual?" Guess what else is spiritual? Wealth and abundance. Wealth and abundance are spiritual. This is gonna make sense to you in a minute. Wealth and abundance are spiritual because God is infinite. So wealth is a symbol of Godness. Abundance.
Like Jesus said, "The thief come and might prefer to steal, to kill, and to destroy, but I come that you might have life, that you might have more abundantly." God is a God of abundance. The scripture says he owns a cattle on a thousand hills. He owns everything. The earth is the Lord's in the fullness thereof. Abundance is godlike. It's a characteristic of God.
2:03 Why I Talk About Money
And I know, "well, all you do is talk about money." No, I talk about a whole lot more than money.
The reason I talk about money and wealth as much as I do is because, one, I don't know what happens in churches you go to, but the ones I've gone to every time they have a prayer meeting, two things they pray for the most: "Pray for my finances, pray for my health. Pay for my health, pay for my finances." Finances are not something that you should necessarily need to pray for. You're a follower of Christ. You have the blessing of Abraham by faith in Christ Jesus. You got the blessing of Abraham. Part of that blessing as well.
God does not want his people to be broke as a joke and ready to choke. Running around with your hand stuck out all the time. We have the answers. And if we have the answers to the life's questions in this book called the Bible, why in the world are we walking around acting like we don't know? And I'm not just about money, but yes about money also. "Why you talking about money?" The Bible talks about money. How am I gonna teach the Bible not talking about money?

0:00 What's a Continuity Program?
You want to create what's known as a continuity program. What is a continuity program? It is something that you buy once but pay for monthly. Netflix is a continuity program. Amazon Prime Video's a continuity program. Apple Music is a continuity program. So then the question becomes what kind of continuity program can we create? Cause I'm not gonna start Netflix. I got here too late for that, right?
One of the reasons people struggle is because they pay out money on continuity payments every month, but they don't get paid on continuity payments every month. You have bills on autopilot, but you don't have money on autopilot. Might as well put some cash flow on autopilot.
I like to get paid every day. You wake up, you're richer than you were when you went to bed. I'm just telling you how it works. I'm telling you what my experience of life is and I'm telling you that not so you can think I'm awesome, but so you can know that that's my experience of life. That can be your experience of life.
People say, "All I want to do is just help the poor and spread the gospel." If you had more time, you could spread more gospel and help more poor people if you had more money.
2:36 How Can I Create a Continuity Program?
I started with a membership site where people pay you a monthly fee for access to your content.
Let's say you have a membership site and it's a hundred dollars a month to have access. I've paid for membership sites. The most expensive membership site I ever paid for was $800 a month for this internet marketing training membership site called Stompernet. A hundred dollars a month to me seems reasonable. So if you're at a hundred dollars a month, all you need is 50 members and you are Virtual Millionaire. How awesome is that?
I've got a friend, he's got a membership site. He charges $80 a month. He's got 7,000 members. How much is that? $560,000 a month. This is how people create wealth passively.
4:18 What's a Newsletter?
You could also do what's known as a newsletter. A newsletter is a letter that you pay for every month. You might pay $100 a month.
You might pay $100 a year. You could have a weekly newsletter.
Let's just say your newsletter is $25 a month. All you need is 200 members. Congratulations. You're a Virtual Millionaire.
5:15 Be the Bank
This is my favorite continuity program. It's called "Be the Bank." That means you sell stuff to people on payment plans. Oh, hallelujah. The bank loans money to people all the time. And then you make payments. If it works for the bank, why don't you do it? Let's say you have a coaching program that you sell for $55,000/month. People put down $28,500 upfront. And then they pay $510 a week for a year to pay off the balance
.
20 people doing this is $100,000. 40 people doing this is $200,000 a month. If you do this times 40, it's $220,000 a month before you get outta bed. This is something anybody can do.
6:51 Software as a Service
SAAS. Software as a service. What is that? That's a software program that people pay you monthly for. There are many software programs that I pay monthly for. I pay $500 a month for Zoom. Well, if Zoom has a million people paying 'em $500 a month, that's $500 million a month.
You might not get to $500 million a month, but if you got something that's $500 a month and you get a hundred people paying you that, that's $50,000 a month. This actually works, y'all. Our continuity revenue in this business is about $240,000 a month before I get out of bed. Do you think I ever worry about payroll? Nope. Do you think I ever worry about like taxes? Do you think I ever worry about paying the mortgage on this building? I don't worry about any of it.
7:52 Conclusion
This is how I live my life. And I know you can live your life like this, and for those of you who think money's not that important or you don't care that much about money: if you had however much you're going to work and trading 60 hours of your week for right now, 40 to 60 hours of your week for right now... if you could get all of that time back and go do all of the things that you are proclaiming are so important then you'd probably be in a better space and you'd be able to help way more people than you can help right now.
So if this made sense to you, like the video, share the video, and comment on the video.
All right. Peace out Cub Scouts and I'll see y'all in the next video.

How Steve Jobs Changed the World with 10 Words | Myron Golden
How Steve Jobs Changed the World with 10 Words

https://thelongercrowbar.com/myron-golden
0:00 Introduction
See, people think Steve Jobs was one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all times- when I say great, most successful entrepreneurs of all times- because he was an innovator. Steve Jobs was one of the most successful entrepreneurs of all time, because he was a great imaginator and he was a great communicator.
See, Myron "imaginator" ain't a word. You knew what I meant, didn't you? Uhhuh. That's what I thought. Here's the interesting thing about the two highest levels of value. Words are necessary on both levels, huh? You can use words without thinking. You ever said something and said, "Oh man, I wish I'd have thought about what I was gonna say before I said that." You can use words without thinking.
Watch this now, but you can't think without using words.
0:58 The Jim Rohn Experiment
Wait a minute. Whoa. What just happened? You can use words without thinking, but you cannot think without using words.
In fact, I was listening to a Jim Rohn audio cassette tape many moons ago. For those of you who are younger than 20 years old, Google "audio cassette tape." You'll know what I'm talking about. Listen to a Jim Rohn audio cassette tape. He said they did a study with a bunch of inmates in prison. And they were just randomly doing a study. They found something they weren't looking for. Here's what they found: that most of the inmates in prison have a very small vocabulary.
Huh. Then he said, "Because words are not just a communication tool. Words are the window through which you see the world." Wow. Do you understand? The more words you have in your vocabulary, the more clearly you can think? Words create wealth.
2:01 Steve Jobs' 10 Words
Do you know why the iPhone was so successful? Because Steve Jobs put together a sentence that was so powerful back in 2007 that sold millions and millions of iPhones as a brand new invention. Here's what he said. He said, and he kept repeating it over and over: "It's a phone, it's a browser, it's a music player. It's a phone, it's a browser, it's a music player. It's a phone, it's a browser, it's a music player."
That is not a complicated sentence, but you know what he did? He told everybody what the payoff of the iPhone was in, "It's a phone. It's a browser. It's a music player."
10 words change the world forever. If he would've said, "It's got the iOS operating system that operates with certain- it has a seven megapixel camera and it has all these megabits of information that do the megabytes with to the megabits." Wouldn't have meant anything. He didn't use a lot of inside lingo.
He knew how to insert beliefs in the people's minds with words.

0:00 Introduction
"I fear, lest by any means as the serpent beguiled Eve." Your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity in Christ. God gave Adam and Eve a word in Genesis Chapter 2 Verses 16 and 17: "And the Lord God, commanded of the man saying, "Of every tree of the garden, thou may freely eat." Which tree? Every tree. How to eat? Freely eat.
"Of every tree of the garden thou may freely eat, but of The Tree." The Tree. How many is "The?" One. So God said, "Y'all can have everything but one thing."
"For the day thou eat it thereof, thou shall surely die." The word garden means "enclosure." So the Garden of Eden was God's protected place of provision and pleasure. God said of every tree. Does "every" denote abundance or lack? Abundance! Freely. Does that denote abundance or lack? Abundance.
2:02 Satan the Poor "god"
"Now the serpent was more subtle." Satan doesn't make big changes to deceive. He makes little changes. Satan's lies are not big lies. They're little lies. He takes one little word and adds a word, takes out a word or adds a word here, gets you to do the same. Now it has a totally new meaning.
"Now the Serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field, which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, "Yea, hath God said, you shall not eat of every tree of the garden." He added the word "not" and took out the word "freely." Lack did not exist in man's existence until Satan brought it to their attention.
If I said to you, "Take all these hundreds all over the place. You can get as many as you want to for free, but you leave that $5 bill alone, that's mine." Nobody's gonna say, "I don't want those hundreds. I just want the five." Unless somebody who does not have your best interest in mind says, "I know you got all that, but did God say 'Don't you mess with that $5 bill?'"
"Hath God said 'you shall not eat of every tree in the garden?" She said, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden." she took out the word "every" and the word "freely."
3:24 We Don't Say What God Says
We don't want people to be offended, so we don't say what God says. We don't call it what God calls it. We make up a new word. We don't call adultery an abomination. We call it having an affair. Sounds like a party. Maybe I should dress up and bring a gift. God calls it "abomination."
Satan is the god of poverty. He can only promise you he's going to give you something he can't give you. He has nothing to offer you. So he can only promise to give you something he has no ability to give you. That's why so many people live in misery chasing the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life because Satan promised you it is gonna be fulfilling. But it's not fulfilling. The only thing appetites show us is that they only increase and never go away.
Satan was masterful. He had nothing to offer Adam. He got their attention off of all that they had. Adam and Eve are over here, minding their own business, blessed by the Lord with what? Everything for free. And Satan gets their attention off of all that they had. All of their abundance.
4:40 Living in Unthankfulness
Do you realize where you are living in a space of unthankfulness, you're doing the same thing? You're ignoring all of the blessings and focusing on what's missing. You are listening to Satan.
Instead of, "Lord, thank you for another day. I opened my eyes and they could see this morning. I heard a bird singing outside my window. I had food in my house and electricity and water. By the time I get downstairs in my house, I've opened up so many gifts that I've got to be thankful for. How in the world could I go through the rest of my day with anything but an attitude of gratitude?"
"We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden, but the tree that's in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'don't eat of it. Neither shall you touch it unless you die.'" Now she's adding to the word of God. Not only does she not use the same words God used, she starts adding stuff. This is what people do, right?
5:46 Satan Turns You Against People
Here's what Satan said: "You shall not surely die. For God doth know." Satan is a master at making you think that your friends are your enemies and your enemies are your friends. He wants you to be for what's against you and against what's for you. He wants you to think that your friends are your enemies, and your enemies are your friends and nations and families have been destroyed because he got you to believe that somebody who was for you was against you.
We see it happen all the time, and it gets to the point where now every time you look at your spouse, you can only see the bad things. The things that rub you the wrong way.
Let's be grateful for all of the people that God brings in our lives and be thankful that God has blessed us with other human beings with which we can love and interact and have connection.

0:00 Introduction
Satan can only get something from you when he steals something from you. What does he steal? He steals your belief in the word of God and gets you to believe in the word of Satan. By the way, this is not a new, this is not some new thing that Satan's. Go read Second Corinthians Chapter 11 in Verse Number Three: "and the apostle Paul said, I fear less by any means. That as the serpent beguiled Eve-" 'beguiled' means tricked. " Beguiled Eve, through his subtlety-" He deceived her through his subtlety.
So your mind, my mind should be what? Corrupted from the simplicity that's in Christ. Oh, in Christ there's simplicity. In religion, there's complexity. What's the complexity of religion? It depends on which one you go to. Cause they'll tell you gotta do this and you gotta do this and you gotta do this, you gotta do this, you gotta do this, you gotta do this, you gotta do this, you gotta do this, you gotta do this. And you'll be accepted by God. You don't have to do anything. All you have to do is trust what I did and you can be accepted by God. That seems more simple. Wow, that's way more simple than a whole bunch of religious rules I gotta remember. What if I miss one?
1:07 Lying is Stealing
I said to my wife the other day. I was telling her something I said in one of my events or maybe in a Bible study, that lying is stealing. I want you to think about this. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, to kill and destroy."
So I said, "Lying is stealing and stealing is murder."
She said, "What? How's lying stealing? How's stealing murder?"
Okay, lying is stealing because if you lie to somebody and tell them you're going to deliver X, Y, Z, and then they pay you based on what you told them, but you have no intention of delivering X, Y, Z, then you just stole from them because you took it under false pretense. You got them to give you something under false pretense, which you had no intention of paying for.
1:46 Stealing is Murder
Okay, but how is stealing murder? Because when a person is paying you for something that they're buying from you, they made that money with part of their life, which they've now wasted by giving that money to you. Now, you didn't steal the rest of their life. If I steal 70 hours of your life in the middle of your life, or 70 hours of your life, at the end of your life, I still stole 70 hours of your life.
That's why in the Old Testament, if you were caught stealing somebody's goods and they killed you, they were not prosecuted as a murderer because you were stealing part of their life. Because when you steal somebody's property, you're stealing an extension of their life. Are y'all tracking? So "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, to kill and destroy." Now, here's what's fascinating: when the thief comes to steal and to kill and destroy, he often does it by twisting something that God has said.
Satan doesn't have a word of his own, so he has to misuse God's word. When the first religion came into being called hedonism, right? The first religion is hedonism. Every religion since then has been based on hedonism or humanism. Man replaces God. First Satan tried to replace God. He couldn't replace God. So what'd he do? He deceived man and tried to replace God. Do you understand the ultimate idolatry is you trying to be God?
2:57 Control is the Ultimate Illusion
Control is the ultimate illusion. You don't believe me. Go to a funeral. You will know. Control is an illusion. Can I get a witness? How many of you have had things happen to you that you would not have chosen to happen to you? Why? Because control is an illusion. I'm not in control of anything. I'm in control of me to the point that I'm in control of me. And after that, I don't have control.
When I leave my house in the morning, I intend to control my car and drive it to work, but I don't have control over these crazy Florida drivers. Can I get a witness? All my people who live in Florida know what I'm talking about?

0:00 The Definition of Success
The definition of success is doing the thing we were created to do. Success is having something expensive that's not being used for what it was created for. You have to yield to the creator for the purpose for which you were created. You may be high-achieving in an arena for which you were not created. You may have a lot of money but not be operating for the purpose for which you were created. Then you're not successful. You may be wealthy but not successful.
We find that purpose at the intersection of our passion and our proficiency. God created us to do a thing, and therefore he put a desire in us to do that thing. He also put a proclivity in us that we would develop proficiency in that thing so we could be successful.
1:14 On Truth
As long as there is error in the world, truth will be controversial. As long as there is truth in the world, error will be controversial. Whether or not this is controversial is going to be determined by whether you are looking for truth or whether we're just seeking to make true the things we already believe.
I've heard people say, "God said it." I believe it. That settles it." The reality is that if God said it, that settles it, whether you believe it or not.
We have to be aware of the fact that just because we believe something doesn't make it true. Truth is not subjective at all; it is very objective. In the words of Winston Churchill, "truth is incontrovertible." Malice may attack it. "Ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is."
2:23 Rich God, Poor God
I'm going to talk about the subject, "Rich God, Poor God." The entire concept of why wealth and poverty are a source of contention, which fascinates me, is
I was born the second of seven brothers to hardworking parents who were not rich. We were some of the poorest en brothers to hardworking parents who were not rich. We were some of the poorest people, and seven boys eat a lot of food. The sheer magnitude of groceries that my parents had to buy to keep us alive, let alone to make us feel like we had enough food,
I remember the effects of poverty on our existence—not all were terrible. We learned that if you work hard, you don't have to be poor. Working hard is not a formula for success, but it's definitely better than sitting around watching TV.
I was 16 years old. A young man in my high school shared the gospel. When I came to Christ, a lot of things became clear to me, especially when I started reading the Bible. What didn't make sense was why so many things I was reading in the Bible were very different from what I was hearing behind the pulpit. And the Bible's not the one that's confusing. I don't add anything to it. I let it say what it says, and then I look for validation in scripture. And there are no isolated doctrines in Scripture.
5:24 The Pastor with the Cordoba
Of all the people who went to our church, our house and car were the least nice. I can remember driving to church in a car that had four different color doors. And I can remember when the pastor got a brand new Chrysler Cordoba. I thought, "The preacher preaches warnings about money." Now I'm confused. He's got a brand new Chrysler Cordoba. His wife drives an MG convertible. They live in this really nice house in Dauphin, and we're living in the hood in Harrisburg. What is the definition of this "richness" that you're talking about? "Because to me, you're it, but you're warning me about it, and how you're doing doesn't look too terrible to me from where I'm sitting."
This is not a judgment; this is just awareness.
6:56 The Bible on Money and Tithing
What does the Bible say about money? I should tithe and I should give. I believe in tithing. I believe in giving. But if you do the right thing with 10% of your money and the wrong thing with 90% of your money, you will be broke. I knew a lot of broke tithers, and I still know a lot of broke tithers. I've seen people give 10% of their money for decades and do the wrong thing with the other 90% and stay broke. I started learning what the Bible said about business, and people accused me of being a "prosperity gospel preacher."
I don't know what that is. Prosperity. Do I preach prosperity? Yes. Prosperity is in the Bible, but the words "prosperity" and "gospel" together are not in the Bible. So I say, "Are you preaching a poverty gospel?" That's not in the Bible either. The reality is that the word has something to say about poverty and about wealth.
God is not the author of obscurity; rather, he is the author of clarity.John 10:10: "For the thief comes not to steal, but to kill, and to destroy."That does not mean the thief is coming to steal, kill, and destroy. It means he ain't coming unless he can steal, kill, or destroy something. "If there ain't nothing there to steal, there ain't nothing there to kill, and there ain't nothing there to destroy, I'm staying home."

The first thing God said, "Let us make man in our image." Which tells us what? The image had to exist before the man existed. Right? Or God wouldn't have anything to make man in the image of before before God spoke the words, "Let us make man in our image," the image of God had to first exist. Right?
That's why imagination is the highest level of value, because our imagination is the place where we are most like God. Imagination is the highest level.
And then God said, "Let us make man." So that's where communication comes in second because the first thing God did when He made man was He had the image existed. Right?
The existential nature of the image of God, in which He made man in the image of, and then communication came second. He didn't say, "Let me make man in my image." He said, "Let us make man in our image."
I believe that God is one, but triune in nature. As I am one, but triune in nature. There's one God, but he manifests himself for our perception as Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Father, Word, Holy Ghost. He manifests himself in three different ways. I am one person, but I have a body, a soul, and a spirit. Oh, okay. But I'm still one Myron. So communication.
He said, "Let us make man in our image." That's where I get unification from, because he said, "Let us make man," not, "Let me make man." Unification.
And the last thing it says is down in Genesis chapter two, verse seven. It says, "And the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. And the man became a living soul."
So the last thing he did was he formed man, and that was the implementation. Implementation. So that was the last thing God did was he implemented.
Okay, so if I am going to leverage value, these are the four levels of value. These are the four levels of value: Imagination, Communication, Unification, and Implementation.
So if I'm gonna leverage the four levels of value, now I need to figure out how can I leverage imagination?
How can I leverage imagination, communication, unification, implementation?

0:00 Communication Creates Wealth
Wealth starts to be created on the next level of value. This is the second highest level of value and where wealth begins to be created. It's called communication. The resource that you use on this level is called a mouth. Now, there is a caveat. You have to have a mouth and you have to learn how to use it to produce wealth. Because just cuz you have a mouth, that's not a guarantee. That's only half the equation.
You need to learn how to have conversations that create cash flow. You need to know how to develop or deliver a message that moves the masses. And when you can do that, you can create and I'm talking about on the low end, you might make a hundred thousand dollars a year selling cars or selling life insurance. On the high end, you might make a hundred million as an A-list actor or a-list singer. If you're an entrepreneur who sells whatever you might make somewhere in the middle.
Communication.
0:50 The Reality Is...
I'm fairly theatrical and not terribly bad looking, right? However, nobody in Hollywood is banging on my door saying, "Hey, can you come star in our next blockbuster movie?" Now, if I wanted to star in a blockbuster movie, I would write the script, I would hire the crew, and I would make the movie, and then I'd make it a blockbuster movie. But that's not my desire. I don't desire to do that. I could figure it out, but nobody's banging my door down.
I sing for my own personal enjoyment and for other people's personal endurement You'll get that one on the way home, and probably not gonna make a fortune singing. Now I can make a fortune writing songs. I've written some really good songs and we produced a couple of albums and we sold thousands and thousands. And we're gonna re-release our album. As soon as our YouTube channel gets to a million subscribers, we're gonna re-release our album. Okay.
But in the meantime, in between times, it's probably not gonna happen for me singing.
So guess what? I need to be an author and write a book that a bunch of people wanna read. Oh, check. Done that. I wrote a book last year that makes us, on average between 25 and $30,000 a month. One book. I wrote it one time and it pays me every single solitary day. Oh, snap. Oh snap. I wrote a book back in 2006. That book makes us about $12,000 a month. Oh, by the way, is that on the implementation level? Nope. Yeah. I implemented by writing the book, but guess what? Boom, I got it printed. Now all we have to do is have a funnel out there and then people come buy it.
Communication level.
2:16 You Need to Get Good at Talking
Hey, let me ask you a question: you're a business owner. You're doing a half a million dollars a year in revenue. I say, "Tell you what, you pay me $350,000. I'm gonna show you how to get to 3 million." Who wants that deal? Everybody wants that deal. If they believe that I can help them get there, everybody wants that deal.
In order for them to believe that I can get them there, I have to use this thing called "words." And I have to be able to use those words skillfully enough to install some faith in their focus so they feel like I can help them. And they perform the function of taking some money out of their account and putting it in mine. And I did it with words.
I remember when I was a little boy, I was terribly introverted. I know that's hard for you to believe. I remember I was in the sixth grade. I was hanging out with my dad here in Tampa. I didn't like talking to people I didn't know, and I hated my name. I've got six brothers. In my mind, they all have what I call "normal names." I used to say to my mom I know I said it to her every week while I was growing up: "Seriously, the only thing you could think of when you came to me was Myron, Myron?" Cause that's how I heard it, right? "Myron."
So my dad sees his friend Mary. He says to me, "Son, this is my friend Mary. We grew up together. Tell Mary your name."
I was horrified. I was horrified. I'm in the sixth grade. I'm 12 years old. This was a very traumatic experience for me.
I can remember thinking to myself, "You just told me her name. Why couldn't you tell her my name? You want me to talk to this person I don't know." And I'm an introvert. I didn't know I was an introvert. "But you want me to talk to this person I don't know. I don't wanna talk to her. And you want me to talk to her about my least favorite subject in the world?! Hi, my name's Myron."
And so I did what any self-respecting introverted boy who hates his name would do. I cried
My dad, he went into dad mode. "Why? What is the matter with you?"
Hated my name. I was an introvert. Didn't like to talk.
Until one day. I woke up and I realized: if I'm gonna do better in life, I gotta get good at this talking thing. And I can't just talk to me on the inside. I gotta talk to some other folks on the outside.

How Long Does It Take To Become A Millionaire?

https://thelongercrowbar.com/myron-golden
0:00 Introduction
God is a God of multiplication and his principles are multiply principles, right? We're gonna do some math. Get your pen and paper, your calculator on your phone out. I wanna ask you a question: at the rate you're saving money right now, how long is it gonna take you to save a million dollars?
Some people wanna retire. And there's nothing wrong with wanting to retire. So how much is it gonna take? At the rate you're saving money right now, how long is it gonna take you to save a million dollars? Let's say you are saving or investing. I'm just gonna call it saving cause that's what most people do, right? Let's say you're saving $100 a month.
How long is it gonna take you to save a million dollars? It's gonna take you 833 years. Now, I'm not sure how old you're gonna be in 833 years, but I'm gonna be almost 900. I'm gonna be almost as old as Methuselah by the time I save up $1,000,000 at $100 a month. Maybe I should do better than that. Maybe I should save $1,000 a month. Then it'll only take me 83.3 years. Well, I don't know how old you're gonna be in 83.3 years, but I'm gonna be 144.3.
Yes, it'll still be $1,000,000, but I'm gonna be so tired I won't have any energy to enjoy it. So saving money is not the plan. We agree that most people in the USA are not saving $1,000, right? If you wanna do it in a timeframe that's more reasonable, maybe you should save $10,000 a month.
Well, here's the problem with that. Most people can't do that even if they'd like to. But then it's only gonna take you 8.33 years. Now if you save up a million dollars, are you a millionaire? Well, yeah. But if you spend $1 after, you're a 999,999-innaire.
2:55 Staying a Millionaire
Let's say you didn't save a million dollars, let's say some strange turn of events, you had a long lost uncle. We already know that if you wanna stay a millionaire, you can't spend the money. So what are you gonna do? You're going to live off the interest. Let's say you could get 6% interest on your million dollars. How much money is that gonna give you per year? $60,000 a year and your life back. Cause now you don't have to trade your time for $60,000 a year from a boss.
If I take that $60,000 and I divide it by 12 months, that's gonna be $5,000 a month. If I were to save up a million dollars and I were able to get 6%, it would give me a lifestyle of $5,000 a month passive cash flow.
Now I have both the time and the money to enjoy. And now I can spend my time with the people that I care the most about instead of the people I care the least about and the people who care the least about me.
4:56 How Elementary School Math is Involved
I love elementary school math. I learned a math principle in elementary school that's mind-blowing. Are y'all ready? Here it is: when two things are equal to the same thing, they're also equal to each other. I got a good feeling when I said that. Did y'all feel that? "Two things that are equal to the same thing are also equal to each other." They have to be. Right?
This is so good. You say, "Why is that so good?" Because if having a million dollars invested at 6% produces $5,000 a month passive cash flow, that means anything that I create, that produces for me $5,000 a month, passive cash flow is equal to having a million dollars invested at 6%. Oh snap. I just changed my own life again. I hope somebody else comes along with me for that ride.
6:23 The Virtual Millionaire Formula
I call this the Virtual Millionaire Formula for a reason: because you get to live like a millionaire on your way to becoming one.
And this was the first millionaire formula that I cracked many, many years ago. I got myself to $5,000 a month passive cash flow. And I've got good news for everybody in this room today. I've got good news for everybody watching on YouTube today. I've got, in fact, not even good news, great news, and that is $5,000 a month passive cash flow is pretty simple to get now.
It's not necessarily easy. For some people it'll be easy. For some people, it'll be hard depending on where you are on the scale of influence. But $5,000 a month pass of cash flow. If you're not there yet, I would recommend on your millionaire journey that you start with the Virtual Millionaire Formula.

Time Or Money? | Myron Golden
Time or Money?

https://thelongercrowbar.com/myron-golden
0:00 Introduction: The Time is Money Lie
So we already know that time is not money. But we say time is money. Now say you say Myron, why do you say that's a damaging lie? Here's why I say it's a damaging lie, because if I go through life on a conscious level saying "Time is money, time is money," I'll act as if time is money. Time is money. And what I'll do is I'll sell a whole bunch of my time for a little bit of somebody else's money because I value them both equally.
Or most people actually value money more than they value time in their everyday life. How they. Even though they consciously or subconsciously realize that the time is greater than the money. And so if I believe that time is money, here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna, I'm gonna waste a whole bunch of time trying to save a little bit of money.
I don't do that. And the reason I don't do that is because I only have a limited amount of time on this. It is appointed under demand, wants to die after this judgment. So I know that I'm gonna die. That's gonna happen unless Christ returns before I die. I'm gonna live my life to the fullest and I know that I'm probably gonna die.
0:56 What If You Believe Time is Money?
So if I believe that the lie that time is money, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna waste a whole lot of time trying to save a little bit of money. And I don't believe in wasting time to save money. I don't want this to sound condescending or snooty cause I'm not snooty.
I'm just a regular dude. Like right now, our cleaning lady is at our house cleaning. My wife knows how to clean. My wife likes to clean. My wife didn't even want a cleaning lady, but that's okay. I wanted a cleaning lady because I wanted to be able to spend more time with my wife instead of her cleaning the house when I'm at home.
That's why I pay a company to cut my grass. They can cut the grass better and more efficiently, and it doesn't waste my time. I value my time more than I value money. That's why right now, there's a car wash company that comes to my office every Wednesday.
I value my time. I'm not gonna wash my car. I'm not gonna cut my grass. I'm not gonna fix my toilet. Why? Because I would rather pay somebody the money. Now, here's what I'm gonna say.
A lot of people say they don't care that much about money. They will do something themselves so they don't have to pay somebody else to do it. I would rather pay somebody else to do it so I don't have to do it. So the other problem with the whole believing the time is money lie is, if I believe that time is money, not only will I waste a whole bunch of time trying to save a little bit of money, I'll sell a whole bunch of my time for a little bit of somebody else's money, right? That's always a bad idea. So instead of doing that, maybe I should do what the scripture teaches.
2:28 What The Scripture Says
Does the scripture say anything about time and money maybe? Oh, I think it does. Ephesians 5:20. I think it says something like, "Redeeming the time because the days are evil." Go look it up. Don't take my word for it. Here's what the word redeem means: "redeem" means to buy back. To rescue from loss and to improve opportunity. So the scripture tells me clearly to buy back my time, rescue it from loss, and improve my opportunity. The days are evil. That word evil is not evil like the devil is evil. Do word studies.
'Cause if you don't know what the words mean, you can't know what the word means. Right? So the word evil is difficult in nature. So what the scripture is telling us to do is to buy back our time, rescue it from loss and improve opportunity because life is hard. So if I'm selling my time, not only am I not doing what the Bible says, I'm doing the exact opposite and wondering why I can't get ahead.
We gotta stop believing the lie that the time is money. We gotta believe the truth that time is greater than money.
We gotta understand that time is not just greater than money, but time is infinitely greater than money because when you run out of time, you don't get more. You can get more money, you don't get more time.
3:50 Saving Money is a Bad Idea
Now I went through all of that as a preface to what I'm gonna say next. Here's another lie we've been told: one of the most important things you can do with money is save it.
I submit to you that saving money is always a bad idea. Saving money on things like finding a good deal is like not- wasting money is also a bad idea. I'm talking about saving money in a bank is always a bad idea. Why? Because the bank is a financial institution and they understand the rules and they understand that you don't understand the rules.
So here's rule number one: the bank is always going to give you a lower interest rate than the rate of inflation. Which means you are saving something that is becoming worth less over time. You shouldn't save money, you should invest money. Investing money means you're multiplying it.

Is Free Speech Dead? | Myron Golden
Is Free Speech Dead?
by Myron Golden
Find out more at:
https://thelongercrowbar.com/myron-golden
00:00 Introduction
We've had a lot of chaos over the last couple of years in the United States of America; like chaos in communities, like riots. What is that about? I believe it's about a bunch of children in adult bodies.
By the way, it's not dead yet, but it's on its way to being dead. And when Free speech dies, freedom dies. Your ability to be free will die. First it's free thought, then it's free speech, and then it's freedom.
00:27 The First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
01:25 Ephesians 4:14-15
"That we hence forth be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie and wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into all things, which is the head, even Christ." Now, what does all that mean?
The reason I wanted to read that to you is we've had a lot of chaos over the last couple of years in the United States of America. Chaos in communities like riots and things.
I believe it's about a bunch of children in adult bodies.The difference between a child and a real adult is responsibility. If you lack responsibility, and you don't have the ability to respond with ability, the only thing you can do is react. Reactions are what children do. Responses are what adults do.
02:53 Truth vs Error
Truth does not require that error remains silent in order for them both to exist in the same space. However, error requires truth to be silent in order for them to stay in the same space. In order for error to be fruitful and to multiply and to be popular, truth has to be silent. That is why there is such a consorted effort in the minds of the people, who already know they're wrong, to silence the voices that oppose them. If I really believe something, I can believe it all by myself.
All truth has to do for error to go away is show up. But error has to silence the truth.
We have the problem in America that there are so many undisciplined out-of-control children in adult bodies. They can't understand truth, they refuse, they can't respond properly to authority. They refuse to hear truth because it makes them feel unsafe.
I still believe that a human being should have the right to believe that something is wrong. I believe that in the United States of America, according to the First Amendment, an adult should have the ability to believe something that's wrong is right. I believe a person, if they wanna be a racist, I believe they should have a right to be a racist. Even though I believe being a racist is wrong, they have a right to be a racist. How much time are you gonna spend arguing with that person? Exactly zero. Why? Because as Mark Twain said, "You never argue with an idiot because if you do, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience."
If I don't need you to believe what I believe in order for me to believe it, why do you need me to believe or be quiet about what I believe in order for you to hold onto your beliefs?
06:28 Freedom of Speech
We better start letting our voices be heard, and stop only having these conversations on back channel. If you give me room to talk, I'll give you room to talk.
I believe a person has a right to be a homosexual, but I still believe homosexuality is wrong. I believe a person has a right to smoke cigarettes, but I still believe smoking cigarettes is wrong. I believe a person has a right to commit adultery, but I believe adultery is wrong. I believe that a person has a right to be a racist, even though I believe being a racist is wrong.
And if you don't have that kind of freedom, we’re gonna end up with another situation like antebellum slavery. Another situation like Jim Crow law. Another situation like Nazi-ism and what Hitler did to the Jews. Because the first thing they do is they take away your ability to believe something and then they take away your ability to proclaim something.
Free speech is dead if we let our country keep going in this direction. And I will stand for a person's right to be wrong, but I will also stand for my right to be right. And I will stand for my right to be right even in the face of wrong.
07:44 Truth and Love
Make sure that the truth doesn't travel faster than love. If you're gonna speak out against something or someone, don't do it from a place of anger. Do it from a place of love that you have their best interest in mind. The truth should never travel without love.
"But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him that is all things, which is the head, even Christ:"
And so if you wanna come in here, be kind, be nice, be respectful, and you can disagree with me until the cows come home and I welcome it.

Jesus Was Not Poor | Myron Golden
Jesus Was Not Poor: "Why Do You Talk About Money So Much?"
by Myron Golden
Find out more at:
https://thelongercrowbar.com/myron-golden
0:00 Introduction
We've been taught a lot of lies around money, and some of y'all have probably heard some of these lies. One of the lies we've heard is "time is money." Okay. That's a lie. And not only is it a lie, it's a very damaging lie. It's a very, it's a very tragic lie. It's a lie that creates poverty and devastation. Time is money. Time is money.
Hey, YouTube, Myron Golden here, and today I'm gonna be talking about how to get rich part two. And some people have asked in the comments from the last video like, "Why do you talk about-" or they don't even say "Why do you?" because when people like have discussed, they don't refer to you as "you."
They refer to you as "this guy," "the false prophet," whatever they wanna call you.
0:35 Why Do I Talk About Money So Much?
I'm gonna tell you why I talk about money so much. It's something that affects every single solitary day of our lives. It's the thing that most people spend most of their time doing. Figuring out how to get money.
I think the problem that people have with me talking about getting rich is the fact that they've not even defined for themselves what "rich" is. See, I talk about getting rich 'cause I use the term "rich" and the reason I use the term "rich" is 'cause the Bible uses the term "rich." I don't have a problem with it. I don't have a problem with the term "rich." I don't have a problem with the term "wealthy." I don't have a problem with the term "abundant." I don't have a problem with the term "prosperity" or "prosperous." I don't have a problem with any of those. They're all in the Bible.
If you got a problem with him. Like, take it up with God, right? Don't take it up with me. But the reason I talk about these things is because they are important.
1:29 Jesus Was NOT Poor!
People say, "Well, but Jesus was poor." I understand that you think Jesus was poor, but just because you think that doesn't mean it was true.
I asked somebody that question in the comments and I said, "If Jesus was poor, why did he need a treasurer?" And they said he needed a treasurer to distribute money to the poor. Where'd they get the money to distribute to the poor? Let's think all the way through our stuff.
The reason I talk to people about money is because it's one of the most important things in their lives. It's one of the most important things in our lives. And if you don't have any, you feel like you can't breathe. So it's right up there with oxygen, right?
It's not as important as oxygen, but it feels like it is sometimes, right? And so I talk about getting rich because getting rich is what people know they are looking for.
2:08 Conclusion
I can't prove this, but I can believe it. I believe if Jesus were here today, that he would talk to people about things that mattered to them.
Why? Because that's what he did in the Bible. If people were hungry, he fed 'em right? If they were thirsty, he gave 'em something to drink, right? If they were sick, he healed them. Jesus always ministered to the needs that people knew they had before he ministered to the need that he knew, that he knew they had.

How Rich People Think About Money | Myron Golden
How Rich People Think About Money
by Myron Golden
Find out more at:
https://thelongercrowbar.com/myron-golden
0:00 Intro
Most people make the mistake of thinking that the difference between rich people, poor people, middle-class people, is how much money they have. I submit to you that how much money you have has more to do with whether you have the psychology of a rich person, a middle-class person, or a poor person. And the difference between how much money you make, whether you're rich, poor, or middle-class has way more to do with your psychology than it does with your job. How much money you make is determined by whether you have the psychology of a rich person, a poor person, or a middle-class person. And when I discovered that, it was like game changer for me.
00:44 Perspective
I'm gonna give you a first lesson on perspective as this. You're standing at an intersection and you see an accident right there in that intersection. If four different people are standing on this intersection, what they see is going to be completely different because of one thing. That's their perspective. If you think about it, your perspective on life is what contributes to your psychology.
If four people are looking at the same accident, did they see the same accident? Yeah, they saw the same accident, but did they see the same thing? They didn't. They all saw something different. Because they were looking at it from a different perspective.
Now we've got a window with four different window panes, right? So how we look at money is going to be determined; our money psychology is gonna be determined by the perspective we have. Where are you looking at money from? Are you looking at money from the perspective of a rich person, a poor person, or a middle-class person? And so that's gonna be the thing that determines your money.
02:09 HAJ Have A Job
If you're this person, your psychology around money, your name is probably Haj. It means, "Have A Job." The way to make money is to have a job. That means you sell a whole bunch of your time for a little bit of somebody else's.
The reason you do that is because your whole life, you've been lied to. They told you your entire life that time is money. You've heard this your whole life. Time is money. Time is money. Time is money. Time is money is one of the most expensive lies you can ever buy. So don't buy the lie. It costs too much. So time is money. Time is not money. Time is infinitely more valuable than money. If you run outta money, you can get more money. But if you run outta time, you don't get more time, right? Because intuitively, and your soul knows, that time is more valuable than money. But your mind has been tricked by the cultural hypnotic societal mechanism into believing that time is money, but time is money is a lie. Don't buy the lie. It costs too much.
03:39 OAJ Own A Job
So you go over here, you go over here to this guy, and your name becomes Oaj. OAJ is "Own A Job." And most people, they think they want to become entrepreneurs. And so, what they do is they go out and they buy a business or they start a business where they are the only person working in that business. That's not owning a business. Most people think they own a business, when what they really own is a job. And I always said to people, "You can get a job for free. Why would you wanna go buy one
04:13 OAS Own A System
What you should do, instead, is you should figure out how to create a system. I love what W Edwards Demming said. He said, "Systems under which people work account for 90% of the failure. Therefore, the key to success in any endeavor is to perfect the system." You wanna be OAS. "Own A System." A system is some mechanism that you use that makes you money every month.
So think from a perspective of, "What kind of systems can I create that will pay me for the rest of my life?" This is what a real business owner owns. A real business owner owns systems. So we have systems in place where we have hundreds and hundreds of dollars of book sales that come in every day, hundreds and hundreds, sometimes thousands and thousands of dollars of ticket sales for our events every day. And then we've got transactions of products and offers that we've created because we own a system.
05:30 SMS Sows Money Seeds
And then the last guy you wanna become is you want to, you wanna become the SMS. Okay, we'll call him Sams. What does Sams do? SMS "Sows Money Seeds." What do you do there? You're investing your money, you're planting your money in the ground, and making that money grow out of the ground.
So now, over here, your systems are making money down here. This is why these two people are sad, because you're using your time to make money. You're using your time to make money. You're making more money, but you have less time. Over here, you were using time to make money. You have neither money nor time. Over here, you have more money, but you have no time to enjoy it.
When you come up here, now you're finally making more money and you have the time to enjoy it. And then ultimately, when this takes over this space, now you've got so much money coming in. You've got all the money you need and all the time to enjoy it.
06:09 Different Psychology of Rich, Poor, Middle-Class
So what is the difference between the psychology of rich people, poor people, middle-class people? Poor people have the psychology that makes them think the primary purpose of money is to pay bills and buy. That's the primary purpose of money. Pay bills and buy stuff. So, they'll go out and they'll find a job that gives them enough money to pay their bills and to buy stuff. So, what happens, if this is what you think the purpose of money is, you will always be poor. You're not poor because of the job you have. You got the job you have because your psychology was the psychology of poverty. Okay?
Middle-class people think the purpose of money is to create and maintain good credit. Why? So, they can pay their bills on time and buy stuff that they can't really afford. So, a middle-class person, they'll get a job that makes more money so they can buy things on time and then pay off today's junk with tomorrow's money. That's the psychology of middle-class people.
But when you really get it, when it really begins to make sense to you, what you're gonna do is, every time you get a dollar, you're gonna say, "How can I take this dollar and turn it into two?" How can I take this dollar and turn it into $10? How can I take this dollar and turn it into 20? How can I take this dollar and turn it into $30 or a hundred or $500? Because when I can take this dollar and turn it into more dollars, in my book "From The Trashman To The Cashman," I called that, "Holding onto your money long enough for it to get pregnant and have babies." You never spend the momma money. You only spend the baby money. That's what rich people think about, "How can I turn this money into more money?"
The other thing is middle-class people and poor people are afraid to take their money and invest it in something that's gonna make more money, because middle-class people and poor people, these people want a guarantee. They want a guarantee. But rich people want an opportunity. So, if you become the kind of person who seeks opportunities over guarantees, and your primary purpose for money is to turn it into more money, then every time you get money, you're gonna be looking for a way to turn it into more money, congratulations, you've developed the Psychology of the Rich Folks.

I'm gonna show you what the four levels of value are. Then I'll show you where I got that from in scripture. So there are four levels of value.
It's interesting to me, and it may or may not be interesting to you, but it's interesting to me that every number has significance. One is the number of unity, the unity of God.Two is the number of separation or holiness. Three is the number of God. Four is the number of the earth. Five is the number of grace. Six is the number of falsehoods. Seven is the number of completion, et cetera, et cetera. Four is the number of the earth. We have four directions on the earth: north, south, east, and west. We have four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall.
Oftentimes, when we find principles on the earth that work in the earth realm, they'll show up in four. So four levels of value. The lowest level of value is implementation. And implementation is when you do something.
Interestingly enough, if you look at wealth, or if you look at business as a value exchange, and you look at wealth as the thing that people who start businesses would like to receive in that exchange.
So you don't have to understand, but I think it would benefit you well to understand that wealth is a spiritual result, in fact. So wealth is a spiritual result. There are so many reasons why wealth is a spiritual result. Wealth is abundance. A spirit is abundant. Wealth is, the substance that represents wealth is gold, and there was gold in all throughout the book of Genesis, I don't even have time to go into all that. Go back and watch a video in God's Original Design for Wealth, but wealth is a spiritual result.
Implementation is one of the ways that we receive value by doing something. Maybe I'm a janitor and I clean a school, or I clean an office building. Well, if I'm a janitor and I clean, that implementation is how I get my money, right?
So the resource that I use on the implementation level is this: I use my muscles over time, right? So I use my muscles over time. And the reason it's hard to create wealth if you are an implementer is because muscles are a physical resource. Time is a limited resource. So you're multiplying a physical resource times a limited resource to produce an unlimited spiritual result.
That's why it's hard to create wealth by working harder. Working harder does make you a better person than being lazy because it makes you stronger. But working harder is not the formula for success.
If a person has a job or a business, well, I'm gonna talk about a job right now. If a person has a job as an implementer, they're gonna make somewhere between minimum wage and $80,000 a year. And, that minimum wage, maybe you're making tacos at Taco Bell or making burgers at McDonald's. $80,000 maybe if you're working on high-end luxury cars, but you are gonna be somewhere between minimum wage and $80,000 a year if you are an implementer.
So if you'd like to make more money, you don't need to work harder at your current level of value. You need to level up to a higher level and work in a higher level of value. Okay? So most people try to deliver more value at their current level, and then they become frustrated when their income doesn't go up.
So the second level is unification. And unification is the resource we use. Here is where we use our management skills. And the management skills, because we're no longer the person who does the thing. We're the person who manages the people who do the thing.
Now we make more money because unification, managing people is a higher spiritual activity than doing the thing yourself because now you have to communicate with people. You have to understand and work with other different personalities. You have to have the ability to get along with people. You have to have the ability to be stern, but you also have to have the ability to be caring.
So if you're gonna be a good manager to work on a unification level, you might make on the low end $40,000 a year. On the high end, you might make 250,000 a year. Well, all of that's better. This is better than that down there, but there's still a limitation. We don't start to create wealth until we get above this line.
And the second highest level of value is communication. Wealth begins to be created on the communication level, and the resource you use on this level is your mouth. And there's a caveat. I always like to tell people this part; there is a caveat. You have to have a mouth and you have to learn how to use it. Right?
So if you're like, people are like, I have a mouth. Okay, now that is phase one complete. But now you need to learn how to use your mouth to have conversations that create cash flow and develop messages that move the masses. So communication is the second highest level of value on the low end.
If you sell cars, you might make a hundred thousand a year on the high end. If you're an A-list actor, an A-list singer, you might make a hundred million a year. Right? So that's a big gap. So you might be in sales, you might be a performer, you might be an actor, you might be a singer, but there are obviously some exceptions of this. I get it. Per physical, like professional athletes. That's an exception because professional sports is an anomaly, right? So that's not what I'm talking about right here.
Okay. So, communication is the second highest level of value. What's the highest level of value? The highest level of value is imagination. And on that level, you use your mind and you use your money to make money.
Now, up here, you're gonna make somewhere between a million dollars a year, and it could be billions. Well, that's pretty cool. So these are the four levels of value that we exchange in the marketplace for money. Now, we do different things with them, but this is the value.

0:00 Introduction
These four moves can scale a business from $10,000 a month to over $128,000 a month in four moves. How long those four moves take are gonna be determined by how fast you implement them. They're the very same four simple moves that I talk about in my BOSS MOVES book.
Let's say you're generating 100 leads per month. And then let's say your conversion rate is 10%. That's your conversion rate. And on that conversion rate, let's say your sale price is $1,000, right? That's your sale price.
01:47 Double Your Lead Generation
If you double the lead generation, instead of generating a hundred leads per month, now you're generating 200 leads per month. Now you're converting 10% of 200 leads, which is 20 sales. 20 sales times a thousand dollars. Now, your business is generating $20,000 a month, and you only did one move.
How do you double your lead generation? By getting better at creating opt-in pages. One of the best things you can do is you start moving cold traffic away from pain instead of moving them towards pleasure. That should double your opt-in rate by itself.
02:51 Double Your Conversions
The next thing is we're gonna double the conversions. We get 20% conversions by stop trying to get people to buy what you're selling and instead create an environment that makes them feel like buying. People don't buy things because you tried to get them to buy them. They buy things for their reasons. People do what they do ‘cause they feel like doing it. If you can figure out how to create an environment that makes people feel like buying, you can double your conversion rate.
When you double your conversion rate, you're generating 200 leads per month. You're converting those leads at 20%. 20% conversions times 200 leads per month. You’re making 40 sales. Now you're making $40,000 a month. You quadrupled your business and you've only made two moves.
4:17 Add A Premium Value Offer
The next thing you're gonna do is add a premium value offer. A lot of people call the premium value offer a high ticket offer. I like to call it a premium value offer because high ticket is what I get. Premium value is what the client gets.
You're already making 40 sales a month. You offer your premium value offer to the same 40 clients that you're generating a month now. Let's say you convert that premium value offer at 10%. That's four sales. Four sales times your $10,000 offer. That's another $40,000 a month. Now you're generating 40,000 a month here. $40,000 a month there. That's $80,000 a month. Congratulations. You're making almost a million dollars a year, and you've only done three of the moves.
06:08 Add Forced Continuity Offer
What's that last move? We're gonna add an FCO. FCO stands for forced continuity offer. Let's say, in addition to all this other cool stuff you're doing, you add a forced continuity offer to these 40 sales you're making every month.
Let's say it's a software that sells for a a hundred dollars a month, and now you're getting 40 people a month to pay for this a hundred dollars. Hundred dollars offer, except it's forced continuity 'cause you're giving to them for the first month or the first two months or the first three months for free. After that, they start paying for it. So you got 40 new people coming into your hundred dollar offer product per month.
Watch what happens. You're already making $80,000 a month from your core product offer at the regular price, plus your premium value offer at $10,000 a month. Now, you've got 40 sales a month. 40 sales times $100 which equals $4,000. That's pretty cool. Times 12 months. That's $48,000 a month. You add the $48,000 a month to the $80,000 a month. Four moves, $128,000. Congratulations. You're a millionaire. Those are the four moves. When you make those moves and make them masterfully, you'll double your lead generation from a hundred leads a month to 200 leads a month.
07:50 Summary
You double your conversions from 10% to 20% and then you add a premium value offer and you start converting 10% of your core product buyers to your premium value offer. And then you add force continuity. So, all 40 sales a month you're making are also take saying yes to your forced continuity offer. You do those four moves. At the end of a year, you're doing $128,000 per month in revenue.
