Starting point is 00:00:00 If you're looking for a tactical framework for building real wealth, leveraging your personal brand and scaling it and multiplying your income along the way, then this episode is for you. In this episode, I am diving deep with my friend Rory Vaden, going over a money masterclass, talking about the four money and emotion zones and how we can move into financial and emotional abundance at the same time through them while identifying all the reasons why feeling broke emotionally can be more damaging than financial scarcity. We're going to be diving into the mindset shifts that separates lasting wealth from
Starting point is 00:00:38 temporary success and again going over a powerful framework for building a scalable, purpose-driven personal brand. But first, you need to figure out how to reprogram your money story so you can make and keep money with ease. I talk about my new book, Make Money Easy, and we kick things off with concepts from the new book, Make Money Easy, including how to identify your core money story and the four levels of financial and emotional abundance. If there's one episode that you listen to around money, I feel like listen to this over and over again and start taking action immediately.
Starting point is 00:01:19 I wish I had this when I was 21, when I was 30. And it's one of the reasons why I wanted to partner with Rory on this because he has so many good powerful frameworks. And I've gathered so many important lessons and stories in my book that we bring together in this Money Masterclass. So please share this with a friend. Copy and paste the link to this episode, post it out on social media if you're enjoying it, leave a review over on Apple podcast or Spotify, wherever you're listening to it. And make sure to share this
Starting point is 00:01:49 with one or two friends that you really care about that you want to see have emotional freedom around their money and create financial abundance as well. So excited for you to dive into this. Let's go ahead and start the show. Let's start with the belief, the limiting belief or the errant belief that I think holds so many people back. And as we start to learn about money and we go, okay, I'm open to receiving more money, I want to grow my financial intelligence, maybe you start studying money, maybe you start interviewing wealthy people, Maybe you start listening to podcasts about money. There's something you're gonna hear that sounds really good,
Starting point is 00:02:30 but actually is the thing that holds most people back. I know what you're gonna say. Do you know what I'm gonna say? Multiple revenue streams. Multiple streams of income. I heard you knew you were gonna say that. Multiple streams of income. How do you know?
Starting point is 00:02:42 This is the dumbest thing on the internet. Well, here's the thing, before you go there, because I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna push back in one way. Yeah. Because I think when you get clear on what you're supposed to be doing, there could be multiple streams within that thing where there's upsells, cross sells, add-ons. Yeah, maybe potential. Let's talk about that. You know what I mean? Yeah. But that's the only thing where I think-
Starting point is 00:03:03 We're gonna use your case study- Yeah, go ahead. As a story about that. You know what I mean? Yeah. But that's the only thing where I think. We're going to use your case study as a story of this. Okay. So now, by the way, so we're going to explain. Now you're saying multiple streams of income is a dumb thing to believe in. Well, multiple streams of income is terrible advice for someone who's just learning how to make money. Multiple streams of income is not a bad idea. It's just a bad idea for a beginner. Okay, great. That's all I'm saying. And when people first start learning about money, they learn from people who make money teaching people how to make money. And in order to get people to pay attention, they say sensational things that make them think like, oh, that's what I need. And this is like one of the sensational rappers like you just need multiple streams of income and if you pay me 50 grand, I'll teach you how to do it right like that's that's the thing so I'm going to show a framework.
Starting point is 00:03:55 And by the way, if you're if you're if you're listening to this. You may have heard me talk about this framework before with Lewis, but we've never talked about it in this context. We've only talked about it with your brand messaging. Today, I'm going to talk about it with brand monetization. It's the same concept, but it's applied completely differently. So the concept is something that we call She-Han's wall. And we named this after a colleague of mine, Peter She-Han. And I originally heard him kind of explain this, in a more corporate environment. But we've adapted it to personal brands.
Starting point is 00:04:33 And so basically, the way that this works is that you've got two different groups of people in the world. And usually when you and I talk about this, we're talking about building your personal brand, growing your influence. And we talk about on this side are people who are unknown and on this side are people who are well known.
Starting point is 00:04:50 And we talk about how to go from unknown to known. Yes. But what we're going to do now is we're going to talk about this from basically going from, you know, broke to rich. Yes. Okay. Now, here's what most people do, is they go like, oh, there's all of these ways I could make money.
Starting point is 00:05:09 And if you just go on to Instagram or Facebook and you're scrolling, like literally you'll see an ad, like every few minutes for like, you could make money doing Airbnb, you could, you could sell T-shirts. Amazon. And drop shipping. You could become money doing Airbnb. You could sell T-shirts. Amazon. And drop shipping. You could become a speaker. YouTube faceless videos. You could do video courses.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Yeah. You could do affiliate marketing. You could start your own marketing agency. I mean, like literally, and that's what we do. And even inside of your business, and Lewis, you're graceful, you're very graceful for letting us use you in as example. When Lewis first started working with us and you were our very first client brand builders group only exists because of you by the years ago, isn't it Chris?
Starting point is 00:05:53 And years ago, Lewis, we listed every one of, of your revenue streams and you had 17 revenue streams because all of your friends were doing free plus shipping and courses and affiliate launches and speaking and private coaching. Tabernacles, workshops, and membership and everything. And so. And one on one. All the things. And on the surface, it seems like, oh, I could just add another revenue stream.
Starting point is 00:06:24 It would be good. Let me create all the offerings I can create because it gives people more chances to give me money. That's right. The problem is, is that when you do that, you bounce off the wall. And the reason you bounce off of the wall is because of something we say all the way back in my first book years ago. Take the stairs. If you have diluted focus, you get diluted results. If you have diluted focus, you get diluted results. And this is true also about money. Most of us, by definition, have small businesses or smaller businesses. But if you have a business with less than 500 employees, like you're a small, you're
Starting point is 00:07:04 still a small business Yeah, most people watching this listening to this probably have a much smaller number well Let's just say that you have 10 units of resource Okay, and that could be time teen technology capital prayer whatever your units of resource are.
Starting point is 00:07:27 If I have 10 units of resource and I spread them across 10 initiatives, then on average, each initiative gets how many units of resource? One. One. So, that's what most of the world does is we go, I have a new idea and a new idea and a new idea and a new idea and someone else pitches me an idea. And I'm like, oh great, like, let's go do this.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Let's go to this course about, you know, reverse mortgages and let's go to this course about, you know, whatever, making money in the market. And we're spreading our time, team, attention, capital, prayer across all these units of resource. Compared to what happens if you take those 10 units of resource and you lay them all down on one initiative.
Starting point is 00:08:13 The likelihood of that one initiative succeeding goes up exponentially. And this is what we did with you, which you've been so, I mentioned this, I sent you our new book that's coming out. And I said, you've been so generous with your praise of us, but legitimately, I think maybe the only thing we ever really did for you was I asked you one rhetorical question.
Starting point is 00:08:35 As I said, Lewis, what would happen if you stopped doing all of these things and you just went all in on the podcast? It wasn't even a conclusion I had drawn. It was a, it was a question of going, you're doing all of these things, but you say you want to make, you know, impact a hundred million lives and this podcast, which is kind of like a side thing for you is, is really gaining momentum and you're really good at it and you and it's life giving, it's low stress. It doesn't require like massive expense.
Starting point is 00:09:05 What if you just went all in on this? And I don't think people really understand this story in full, you had a mastermind that was generating like multi-million dollars a year in revenue. You and Matt and I had one conversation in a hotel lobby, you were doing this. And my friend Louis y', has big cojones, as we, as we sometimes say, we had one conversation and he decided in one moment to walk away
Starting point is 00:09:33 from more than $2 million in revenue in one conversation to go all in on the podcast. Yeah, it's crazy. And crazy when you think about it. It's crazy. And, and honestly, I was also at the time not totally convinced it would work. So I was like, hopefully this works. You gotta have faith and you gotta know that like, oh, I could always go back to this. Also if this doesn't work and I'm broke on my sister's couch, like, okay, I can make
Starting point is 00:09:59 a few offers again and try to find a way to make money. But at the time I wasn't feeling emotionally abundant. I was financially abundant. I wasn't feeling horrible, but I was feeling like a you were stretched six or seven out of 10. I was like, nothing feels like it's really great. It's like good, but it's not feeling abundant. So it wasn't like my life was horrible.
Starting point is 00:10:19 People were coming at you with all sorts of opportunities for all sorts of things, but you were you were bouncing off the wall a bit. You were successful by the world's definition, you were successful. But the way our strategy is, is to go, what if instead we figured out your one thing? What is the one thing that if you went all in on it, and you could become now again, normally in our other conversations, we've talked about your brand messaging and your brand positioning. But the same is true about money. If we go, we call it in brand mothers group speak, we call it your PBM,
Starting point is 00:10:56 your primary business model. And we say, one of the most important tactical decisions you can make in your business is answering the question, what one revenue stream matters above all others? What is the one revenue stream that come hell or high water? Like when push comes to shove, we're going to make this revenue stream successful. We don't hope it's going to be successful. It's saying we're committed to it. We're going to not do anything else until this one works. And if this one should ever fail, we immediately pull resources from anything else and pull
Starting point is 00:11:33 them back here. And when you have 17, that's very hard to do because they're constantly pulling you. And when you look at rich people, since we're now talking about money, and you go, how do they break through the wall? Well, first of all, let's use the metaphor of a wall. So, if we were going to like bust through this wall right here, if we start hitting with a sledgehammer all over, you know, we're not going to make much difference, right? We're going to get, we're going to work hard, but we're going to be frustrated. But if we hit the same spot on this wall again and again and again and again,
Starting point is 00:12:10 eventually we will get traction. Eventually, you know, there'll be a crack, a divot and then a hole. And then you break through the wall by hitting the same spot again and again. Now, once you're on the other side of the wall, right, once you're rich and famous or wealthy and well known, as we say, in your industry or in life or whatever it is, yeah, then you can expand into other things, right? So, people like to use like the Rock because they go, well, the Rock has a skincare line, homeboy is making money from acting, he owns a football league, he's got tequila, WWE,
Starting point is 00:12:45 yeah, WWE, I mean, he's like all these different things. But how did The Rock become The Rock? He was a wrestler. One thing. Professional, can you smell what The Rock is cooking? Like, that is how the guy got famous. People like to use Elon Musk and they go, well, what about Elon Musk? You know, he's got like Tesla and SpaceX. Yeah, he does. But he is the best example. Go look at Elon Musk's life. He got rich from one thing.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Do you know what it was? PayPal? PayPal. All of his money came from PayPal and he took tens of millions of dollars and then he spread this across because this person has resources. tens of millions of dollars, and then he spread this cross. Because this person has resources. So remember, if you have diluted focus, you get diluted results.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Now, it doesn't mean you have to be focused on it, it means someone has to be focused on it. When I have a hundred million dollars, I can hire people to wake up and be focused on it. But you as an individual person cannot be focused on a hundred things. Richard Branson, he's got, you know, boats and hotels and telephone companies, but he's able to hire the right people with the resources and they can go focus on this.
Starting point is 00:13:50 But in the beginning, how do you make his money? It's one thing. Virgin records. Virgin records. But Jeff Bezos, Amazon, Bill Gates, Microsoft, you know, our friend, Jamie Kern Lima, IT Cosmetics, Sarah Blakely, Spanx, right? You know, Jennifer Lopez, right? They start as one thing. They're one thing. And the key is going, how do I become the world's greatest
Starting point is 00:14:14 or one of the world's greatest on one thing? Then multiple streams of income if you want. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, there's a lot to be said to just keep going. But you can hire people people you can get stuff done Well over here if you do it, you're gonna stay broke and you're gonna stay you're gonna stay busy and you're gonna stay broke I have some frustrating. So what's the what's the for those watching live or if you're watching the the YouTube after the fact? What's the biggest?
Starting point is 00:14:39 takeaway you're hearing from Rory in this example and Share how this has either supported you in your life by you applying this already or where you see this might be hurting you in your life with the things that you have going on. I'd love to hear in the comments below how this is resonating or speaking to you in this. And once we get clear on this, let's say people watching or listening to myself, I got clear on this and I started to eliminate certain things over a period of time. Some things I eliminated right away. Some things I limited in the next two years with a roadmap.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Okay, I can't just cut out all this revenue right now because I got team and bills and expenses. So I'm not just going to say note everything and try one thing that's not making that much money. Whereas originally I was a course in education business based on revenue streams, but I wanted to become an advertising business based on the content that I was doing with the podcast. I wanted to get there, but I wasn't there yet. So I knew it was going to take time. It was going to take hiring the right people, it was going to take focus and it wasn't going to happen overnight. There was a process of time doing that.
Starting point is 00:15:45 But for those watching and listening, what would be the next step to then creating financial freedom in their life? All right. So we've got another drawing, another framework. We've never talked about this one before. So the next thing. And for those watching and listening right now, if we can write up lewishouse.com, just so we have it there, slash brand call, I believe that's the link.
Starting point is 00:16:11 That's it. Yep. Brand call. If anyone at any moment, you can go to this page and open it up and submit a form because Rory has been a great partner and a great friend over the years. And we've had, I think, thousands of people go through this process where if you're not clear on your business strategy right now, where you're going with your business, maybe you're distracted, you feel like, I haven't been able to break through the hundred thousand dollar mark or half a million mark or five to ten million mark or something is blocking you. Rory's worked with billionaires. He's worked with tons of New York Times bestselling authors. I don't know, like 30 of them, I think, in the last few years now or something crazy like
Starting point is 00:16:56 that. And he's helped people at all different levels of their financial process and their business process create freedom from peace of mind and clarity on how to do this. He's got an entire team here that will walk you through a free strategy call. If you go to this page right here, lewishouse.com slash brand call, you can fill out a form to get on a phone with one of his key strategists to just help you get clarity on where you're at and what the next steps might be.
Starting point is 00:17:27 So sign up for that call at any moment. Um, we'll also link it in the comments below, but that'll be there for you guys to sign up. So go ahead. This new framework you're talking about. Love it. So, so to your point about the transition, because you made a split second decision to cut out a couple million dollars in revenue, that's a big big big
Starting point is 00:17:45 swing. Which is a good point though, because you're able to do that when you're not married and you don't have kids and you don't have a lot of bills. One of the best things you can do financially to take more risk is reduce your expenses. Lower your appetite for material goods and you know, if you don't have a lot of responsibilities, you can take more financial risks. So, but regardless of where you're at on your journey, this will help you. So we call this the golden grid. And this is how you create the transition plan in your, for your financial future.
Starting point is 00:18:18 So it's really simple. So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna look at this through two lenses. So short term and long term. Okay. And we're going to just do a super simple exercise. Right here is what we call your, I said this earlier, your primary business model, your PBM. Then you have your secondary business model. Then we have ancillary revenue streams.
Starting point is 00:19:03 And a huge part of the power of this is just getting clear in your own life, where am I and what am I dealing with? Now the most important one is this one. We want to identify what is the one revenue stream that matters above all others. But pragmatically speaking, we have to look at that through short term, like it might be your day job, right? Some of you watching right now, it's like it might be your salary job and you go,
Starting point is 00:19:33 I have to succeed at work, I can't let that fail, it's paying the bills, it gives us health insurance and I'm saving money or like, you know, whatever. It could be a day job or it could be the thing you're doing now that you don't want to do. Like in your case, it was courses. People thought of you in different ways, but in reality, on your financial statements, you made money from courses.
Starting point is 00:19:53 The most money came from courses. Most money came from courses. So even just being clear to go, okay, I'm a lot of things, but what am I really? And this is a simple question to answer because because all you got to do is look, hey, where's the cash flow coming from? Yep. Right? So you're going to put something in here. And here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:20:11 This is what you need to do, or you have to do. This is what you want to do. Long term. Long term. But you have to do what you have to do in order to earn the right to get to do what you want to do. Long term. Long term. But you have to do what you have to do in order to earn the right to get to do what you want to do.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Yes. Now, the lower your appetite for material goods and the less obligation you have in your life, the shorter the runway can be because the more you can hit the gas pedal of risk. Yeah. And you can take off like you did. Now you're married man. Yeah, yeah. So can take off like you did. Now you married man.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Fortunately you married a sugar mama. So he's even better. See the money bag there. But we want one thing here. And we also want one thing here. So the key is we want four one things in these boxes. And sometimes this drops to this. Sometimes this drops here. Sometimes this drops off.
Starting point is 00:21:12 So it's different for everybody. Now down here, you can dump other stuff. Yeah. But so like right now, my main business, primary business model is ads, ads, advertising, sponsors, ads, but an ancillary revenue stream is I've got a book, right? It's like I've got a book and my audio book and the physical copy and speaking and speaking might be on there, but you'd be doing that.
Starting point is 00:21:36 You don't do that a ton. I don't very, I don't do much at all. So it's like, I'll do it when it's convenient to me and it makes sense, but otherwise I say no to a lot of these things. The book is not like a massive revenue generator. It's more of a brand positioner and a service piece. How can I add value with my content and context? And it's a gateway to your main thing.
Starting point is 00:21:55 It is. It's a gateway of drawing people in so that they'll consume my podcast in a deeper, more meaningful way. Things like that. I mean, if it makes a lot of money, great, but you don't have the control over that. Necessarily, you have to sell so many books to do that. So, but it's ancillary. And when you slot it, things become super clear, but until you put each thing in here,
Starting point is 00:22:16 you go for a lot of us in our mind, we have three things here and you go, you're not going to succeed with three things here. Yeah. I'm a coach and I create content and I do sponsorships and I write books and I speak and do workshops and and I do members. It's like all these things at once. And it's fine if this doesn't exist yet. That's long term.
Starting point is 00:22:34 But we got to go. What is practical and real? How do we keep the lights on? But also what are we building towards? And we want to focus on this and ratchet this up as much as possible. And we have a rule called the 70-30 rule, which is basically the way to make a transition,
Starting point is 00:22:56 because we ask this question a lot, right? Is like someone requests a call and they go, well, I have a day job, but I really wanna be a speaker. I really wanna be an author. I really wanna be an author. I really wanna become a coach. We work with a lot of experts and entrepreneurs are the two primary groups we work with. And they go, how do I know when to make the leap?
Starting point is 00:23:14 And the answer is 70, 30 is you go, all right. So right now we gotta go, what's the main thing? And that's like 100% of the money's coming from this thing. And then we wanna build the new thing. and we build up the new thing and to where the new thing is about 30% and once it gets to 30, then you can make the leap and kind of like go for it. Because it's hard to get it past 30 without going all in, but if you're at least 30% of your income is coming from that, you know it's going to work.
Starting point is 00:23:40 You're doing 30% with 10, 15% of your time. Exactly. Just like, okay, I'm doing this on the weekends or at nights or whatever, lunch break or whatever. I'm able to make this money. And now what if I had all my time? Then I could go all in on it. And that 30 could get to maybe 50 pretty quickly,
Starting point is 00:23:57 a percent of the money it was making, and then hopefully 100% and beyond. Yeah. When you look at money and doing new things, you hear the term runway a lot. And I think that's actually a good, a good metaphor because it's like, how, how long is my window to succeed with the new thing? You extend your runway by limiting the amount of cash that you need to get the thing off the ground. So if you keep your expenses down, you work pretty lean, and you stay out of debt, and
Starting point is 00:24:34 then you're extending your runway, you're giving yourself more time to take off before the plane just kind of crashes. So keeping the expenses down is a good thing. But that's where we got to start and go, all right, what is, what is in this? Now there's really only five ways that personal brains make money that we've- What's that? We see that as well? Yeah, sure. We can actually, let's do it on this. We got this stuff here. You want to do a new page? New page, new page up there again.
Starting point is 00:24:59 All right. You can run it up here again. Okay. LewisPiles.com All right, right here? it up here again. LouisHouse.com. All right. Right here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Okay. LouisHouse.com slash brand call. Okay. So. And so right now you're going to talk about the five different ways that personal brands can make money. Yeah. There's only five ways. There's not 12 or 17.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Really, we put them in a five category. OK, cool. OK, we call them the paids. So there's five ways to get paid. And if you if you look at now personal brand us also, you know, we've talked about this on other interviews. It does not mean speaker, author, coach. Personal brand is simply the digitization of your reputation. So we work with professional service providers,
Starting point is 00:25:48 accountants, lawyers, doctors, chiropractors, because they're still a personal brand. It's anyone who's using their reputation to drive revenue. For their local community, services in their town, or whatever might be their state. So not just someone who's also trying to reach a message to the world, like a lot of personal brands you work with as well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Yeah. I mean, we work with some of the most famous, I mean, you know, people who reach millions and millions of people. Um, but you know, when you and I started working together, as I look this up that you had started the podcast when 2012? Yeah. 12 years ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:22 So, so 2012, it was been five years since we started this process. I was Doing the podcast for five years. You had done it for five years It took you five years to get to 30 million downloads Yeah, now it's over a billion when we started working together and we did she hands wall You went from 30 million downloads 100 million 500 know what it was Yeah, two and a half like years something crazy and then you've done. 500 million. That's what it was? Yeah. Two and a half years. Something crazy. And then you've done another 500 million since then. It's like over 500 million since then. Yeah, yeah. So a billion, a billion. So it's, you're a great testimony to the power of- Because we went all in and made it
Starting point is 00:26:55 the primary thing. Right. And most podcasters, it's one of several things they do. So who's going to win? Somebody who just does it and it's all we care about and it's top notch guests and top production quality and perfect editing and like just all we promote or someone who kind of has a podcast they do a little bit on the side using zoom and crappy cameras, right? You know, like that kind of thing. So, all right, so back to this. So if you, you have a pile of followers and you want to turn them into a pile of cash, buy vehicles to do this. And before you share the first one, again, for those watching or listening,
Starting point is 00:27:33 if this is resonating with you, leave a yes, leave a comment below that it's resonating. And if there's been an aha for you, let me know so we can see what you want to hear more of in the future around this type of content, leave that. If you have a question around some of these things, feel free to type in a question as well, so we can continue to be of service to you and know more of what you need to be successful. So the five things starts with what? All right.
Starting point is 00:27:58 So the P stands for products, physical products, right? This is Sarah Blinkley with Spanx. This is Elon Musk selling Teslas. This could be selling day planners, t-shirts, like it's a physical product. You go out, you look at Shark Tank, it's almost all physical products. That's food products that could be a shake, a vitamin, like a physical product. There's advantages and disadvantages of each of these. We can talk about it.
Starting point is 00:28:23 The A is ads and affiliates. This is your model now. Yes. But it wasn't, it wasn't your primary business model when we met. Your primary business model was actually this, was selling information. So this is, this is courses, coaching, consulting, membership, membership, certifications, assessments. These are basically, you could think of this as a digital product.
Starting point is 00:28:51 That's a college or university. Yeah, college or university, great example. But you're, you're selling knowledge of some type. Then the D is deals, which are third party deals, book deals, TV deals, brand deals, movie deals, licensing deals. This is where somebody is usually a royalty is involved. That's like the classic sign. It's usually later in someone's career stage, but you're being paid in advance to create
Starting point is 00:29:22 something and then you have an earn out that you get like a long tail, you know, go LTE or whatever. So there's deals. And then there's the one that is, this is the fastest path to cash. And this is the one that is the biggest opportunity that most of us can break free with is services.
Starting point is 00:29:44 And this is a time for money exchange. Okay. It's the fastest way to make money, but it's the hardest to scale. Exactly. But people poo poo on this because they're like, oh, well that's not scalable. Well, something like coaching is a good example, right?
Starting point is 00:30:00 People will be like, oh, you don't wanna do coaching. Coaching's not scalable. Well, two things. One, any service is scalable through one mechanism. You raise the price. Right? I used to do keynotes at $5,000. Now I do them at $65,000.
Starting point is 00:30:14 It's the same keynote. But is there a limit though? You can't scale to a million. No, well, I did an event a few months ago, Tony Robbins. He got a million bucks. Right. So you can go pretty high. Right.
Starting point is 00:30:26 So one-on-one coaching, you raise your fee. Consulting, you raise your fee. The other thing is you create other people and you train them like Brand Builders Group. We have about 1,000 clients in our coaching program. I can't coach 1,000 people. That's why we have full-time employees. We certify them as strategists.
Starting point is 00:30:42 It's what they do. Where would software go underneath? Usually software is kind of like information. It's like an information product. You know, so like email marketing service or software, a lot of that tends to sort of stick in here, you know, that's kind of like a digital product in some ways, but it, it tends to focus more on like, now, any of them can be good. All of them is bad.
Starting point is 00:31:08 The idea is not that you should do them all. The idea is that you should choose one and we have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages. And when we take questions, this would be somebody could could say one, I'm trying to choose between these and we could talk through maybe someone's personal situation. Um, so these are the only five ways to make money. Now the question is, how do I know which one is the right one for me? Well, which one is the best one for me? How do we know? Well, we use another acronym.
Starting point is 00:31:37 We say look for the dares. Okay. D A R E S. Okay. D-A-R-E-S. Okay. Now the dares are the perfect characteristic Mm-hmm. of a perfect modern day business model. So we're looking for things that are D, digital,
Starting point is 00:32:01 whenever possible. Automated. A, automated. R is recurring. E is evergreen. Evergreen. And S scalable. Is scalable. Digital, automated, recurring, evergreen and scalable. So if you look at- If people can assess this for themselves right now and just think of what is my business model or all the different things that I offer, am I offering multiple things, one thing?
Starting point is 00:32:36 And do I have 17 revenue streams or am I going all in on one thing? If you just looked at that first, you'll have a clear picture of maybe why something's working or why something's not working. And if you look at this as well, is my stuff digital, automated, reoccurring, evergreen, scalable, or is it only one of these things? Then you can also have some awareness around if something's working in your favor or not working in your favor and now what to do
Starting point is 00:33:03 about it next. And so as you weigh, if you were to take each of these and give them a score of like each of these, it sort of tells you like, okay, what's the right fit for me? You also add stress. We that's stress score. What's the stress score? So how would you do both those scores? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Like if you were actually going to do it, you'd go, okay, so products, you go, how digitized is this product? How automated is it? Right. So digital means it's digital. There's no physical. Someone buys it and they get it instantly. You don't have to ship something.
Starting point is 00:33:35 That's right. You're not manufacturing. You're not sourcing materials. You're not dealing with warehouses. You're not dealing with shipping. You're not dealing with. Repay runs. Well, you still can have refunds.
Starting point is 00:33:43 You're not dealing with like someone shipping back a refund physically and having to restore it. Like a confinement. Like, yeah, that you're not dealing with that. Automated means it's self-service. Like a vending machine technically is automated, even though it's not digital. It's, it's, it's got some automation to it, but you still have to go and serve it. You do. Once for a bit. But you go, what's the level of automation here?
Starting point is 00:34:04 Yes. How much is the customer dealing with it themselves versus you having to provide? Laundry mat's automated, but you still have to go refuel it every once in a while. So we've not founded a business model that is perfect on all of these. We get asked that question a lot.
Starting point is 00:34:19 So the best example, cause we do get this question a lot, is Netflix. So Netflix is digital. There's no physical inventory. It's automated. There's no salespeople. The customer is completely self-select. It's recurring. You pay for it every month. Don't they have ads and spot promotions though? They spend money on ads. Yeah, you got to sell it perpetually, but the revenue is recurring as a customer. You pay the 10 bucks a month. It's evergreen because once a movie is in there,
Starting point is 00:34:46 you never have to update the movie, but it's not evergreen. This is the part. You have to keep fueling it. New content all the time. Otherwise people cancel. Yeah. And then it's pretty scalable, right? Like it doesn't, you add a customer, it doesn't like change anything. So, you know, there's different scores. Now, like a laundromat can be a great business, but you know, you gotta look at the stress core. And I also say, you gotta look at passion, right? Do you care about it? Do you want to do it? Like there's, there's lots of ways to make money. Um, and, but it's also like with your, does it align with your personal brand and what you, what you want to do? So that's all, those are all factors to this.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Right? So we're just kind of weighing these out. And some of them, it's like for you, you were doing this. So we knew that you understood the world of digital, but it was like you're launching stuff constantly and it was stressful. And meanwhile, it's like the podcast is sort of taking off to go, well, what if we just did this and the advertisers were just paying? And it wasn't even making any money really then it was like, we weren't even thinking about ads or affiliates at that time, just because we're like, ah, we just want to give away for free and help people and we don't, you know, any of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:35:58 It was a traffic source to sell courses. It was really what it was at that time. Yeah, it was. Uh, but yeah, so, so each person is different and you know, we look at, you know, all of these things to help you and that's why it's like, we can't tell you what's the right answer. It's, it's, it's unique for each person. It's a self-reflecting process and assessment, assessing for yourself.
Starting point is 00:36:19 We had a few questions come in here. I wanted to get to some of these. Um, it has a real estate investors, or even just realtors in general, which category are they in with the paids section? Well, real estate agents for sure are down here in services. We work with a lot of agents because you're using your personal brand, not because you want to sell a course. You could do that, but most of the real estate agents we work with, they're trying to drive more listings or something like that.
Starting point is 00:36:45 And if you're a real estate investor then, what would that be? That's probably a time, I would call that a service. Really? Yeah, it's like you're selling the service of your time to yourself, because you're, but it's like you're investing the money, you're managing the money, this is like,
Starting point is 00:36:58 a real estate investor is like a financial advisor, basically, right? Like your business is finding opportunities to make money. So I would- You gotta go out and source deals, be on the phone. You gotta go look at properties. You gotta go vet them. You gotta do all the due diligence.
Starting point is 00:37:14 And we love real estate in terms of, you know, if you look at, if we went back to your Quadrant Three about going just how do you make money? There's a few things that really make money, right? It's like, first of all, I have a friend, a good friend of mine, Jason Dorsey, he says the money's in the money. You just wanna get rich, just manage money.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Just be in private equity, take a small percentage of big transactions, like you make money managing money, cause you're a conduit. You are. Banks make money, credit cards make money. They're just, Venmo makes money. It's just little percentages of these.
Starting point is 00:37:49 Big pies. Big pies. Or it's like if you want to make money, solve rich people's problems. Solve problems for rich people. Yeah, you sell private jets, you sell yachts or whatever. But real estate is the other one that's really great. We also, we tend to be in,
Starting point is 00:38:03 information marketing is a great one. And, you know, there's network marketing, like people can make real money. We have a lot of billionaires that we work with, the 100 millionaires that are in that space. So there's lots of different ways to make money. So real estate is a great one. But yeah, so I would put that one here in terms of what's that category. But yeah, it takes work.
Starting point is 00:38:24 The point I was going to make is there's no such thing as passive. Like there's very few things that are true passive income. And someone was asking about, you know, between all of these, what is evergreen? And I'll share that from my perspective with the business model I have. One episode that I do on the podcast is not news related. It's not like time bound of like, oh, I'm going to get a lot of views because I'm responding to something that happened in the news yesterday or today. And therefore everyone's going to watch this, but then no one watches it later. I do evergreen content on the School of Greatness. So I find
Starting point is 00:39:02 a subject matter, an expert, a celebrity, someone who's fascinating or coming out with a new book with new research or science. And I have them break down that subject matter. This piece of content right here. This is originally being recorded live from a money mastermind or excuse me, money mindset class masterclass, but this is being recorded and it will be up on YouTube and audio forever. And we'll be able to use clips of this on social media.
Starting point is 00:39:31 We'll be able to continue to monetize this, putting it up once and making money on it forever, potentially as long as the platform's around and they keep allowing for monetization. So I have videos on YouTube or audio episodes that continue to make dollars every single day from five, six, seven, eight years ago. Some of them make a hundred bucks a day. Some of them make five cents a day. Right.
Starting point is 00:39:56 But it's one piece of content and it's supposed to be evergreen where it can live potentially forever or very long periods of time. So that's evergreen where it can live potentially forever or very long periods of time. So that's evergreen. A book is evergreen in a sense, as long as it doesn't need to be updated constantly, as long as it's not, I don't know, around an idea that then, oh, there's new research in science that like breaks this idea and it's outdated. So as long as you make it evergreen, like this book is meant to be evergreen for, I don't know, of a hundred years, because it's outdated. So as long as you make it evergreen, like this book is meant to be evergreen for, I don't know, a hundred years, because it's more around mindset.
Starting point is 00:40:29 It's not about what's happening in the market today and how to invest for the next two years. It's not about that. It's about understanding who you are, how you interact with money and how to have a better relationship with money. And I think that's now, and I'm going to be in a hundred years. So that's, this is evergreen. Uh, this content that you're listening to, watching is evergreen.
Starting point is 00:40:49 This format of paids and, uh, dares is an evergreen IP and evergreen concept. Right. It's your own IP that this will last for a long time. You could use this IP for decades and it'll still be relevant for people today and in 10 years. So that's the concept of evergreen. Do you anything else want to expand on that? I mean, you, I think you hit it evergreen means it doesn't need to be updated.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Yeah. Right. If I wrote a book about AI or book about social media, it's going to be updated every three months. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's like, it's outdated before the book hits the shelves. Exactly, exactly. So that's what Evergreen is.
Starting point is 00:41:29 We have another question that looks like that came in. Yes. What about that? Where do I find a good accountability partner or mentor? Well, I think the first place you wanna start with, I think is finding the information, depends on where you're at. If you're broke, I think the best place to start
Starting point is 00:41:44 is finding free content where you're at. If you're broke, I think the best place to start is finding free content where you're respect someone's ideas or their story or their career or their legacy of their life, where you can go and learn from them for free. So I have that with the podcast where I bring free content from people. You might be able to read someone's newsletter or blog posts or watch their content on social media, read their books, things like that, where you can start depending on the level you're at. And by the way, on the free thing, it's good to pay for things. And even if you don't have money, like you should share, share Lewis's content, share the episodes, like comment, leave reviews, you asked for a review on the book, you can pay that's generous. That's creating the generosity flow of like, thank you for this incredible free content. Let me share it with a friend. That's how you pay and start that flow.
Starting point is 00:42:33 But if you're in, you know, when I was getting started, I was using LinkedIn to reach out to local leaders. I was joining Toastmasters, we're both in Toastmasters. And I found a mentor who taught me how to do public speaking in Toastmasters, we were both in Toastmasters, and I found a mentor who taught me how to do public speaking in Toastmasters. I think it's like a hundred bucks a year or something like that. So you can find it by joining communities or local business networking groups. You can find local mentors who are even just a few steps ahead of you, who you can really learn from.
Starting point is 00:42:59 They don't have to be billionaires to learn from them. But if you're in the entrepreneur, content creator, personal brand expert, you're a doctor, you're a real estate agent, you're someone who is building credibility in an industry, the best place to find mentorship truly is to do a strategy call. And if you just go to lewishouse.com slash brand call, the link is right here. You can get a free strategy session from one of Rory's top strategists here at Brand Builders Group. So I would go there if you're looking to
Starting point is 00:43:30 build your business, your personal brand, your messaging and expand your influence whether you're a doctor, a real estate agent, a dentist in a local community and you want to expand there or if you're an author, a speaker, a content creator, and you want to expand to the world, your message, sign up for a call right now and get a free strategy call at lewishouse.com slash brand call. Let's see if there's another question. This is good. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:43:58 So it says how to scale as a doctor, like one client at a time. Okay. Okay, so when you look at how to scale a service, so I'm gonna answer this question specifically, but then it's gonna trigger me for a framework that I think will apply to everyone. Perfect. Okay, so for a doctor, and one of our clients
Starting point is 00:44:18 is Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, she's amazing. She had her on your show before, she's phenomenal. So any type of service. I think the two fastest ways to scale a service, one is you raise your price, right, as a speaker, this is there. One of my revenue streams, my secondary revenue stream is speaking, right? You raise your price. The other is you train other people how to deliver the service for you
Starting point is 00:44:43 and you run the marketing and sales engine to drive that in. Leads. Yeah, you're basically driving leads and customers, but then you're outsourcing the delivery. That's what I do now at Brandelars Group is, I don't coach very many people one-on-one. There's a few, right? For the right price. For the right price,
Starting point is 00:45:02 and there's high profile people that I work with, et cetera. But many times I don't need to be the one because our, our curriculum is so tight and trained to our strategist, we can scale it and we can offer it much cheaper because it does, it's not dependent on me. So that would be one thing, but for both a doctor and for, for everybody, I want to do another monetization framework. I don't, we've to do another monetization framework. We've never talked about this before either.
Starting point is 00:45:27 So this is good. All right, so let me put this back up here. LewisHowes.com. Brand call. All right. This concept is something that we call fractal math. So this is an advanced monetization strategy. And you know, if someone's a doctor, I think this is, if it's anyone who is like a real
Starting point is 00:45:56 expert, they can do this. So here's the concept of fractal math. The concept of fractal math says that 10% of your customers will invest 10 times more. Really? Let's say you have a $30 product, $30 product, and you have a thousand customers who bought it, right? So you have a thousand customers who bought it, right? So you have a thousand customers. That is 30,000 in revenue. Makes sense, right? So you got sort of like this kind of situation. You got 30 customers or $30 product
Starting point is 00:46:44 times a thousand customers is 30,000 in revenue. Now, if you said, how do you double your revenue? One obvious way is- Double your customers. Double your customers, which is how most of us would think, go get a thousand customers. And that's not the wrong, it's not bad or wrong,
Starting point is 00:47:01 but it is the most expensive way to double your revenue. The most, the hardest probably, right? And the hardest. And the reason is because the hardest type of customer to get- Is a new one. Is a new customer. Also, the most expensive type of customer to get is a new one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Inversely, the most profitable type of customer to get is an existing one. And so, if you apply this concept of fractal math gear, and you go 10% of your customers, which are these thousand, so 10% of a thousand would be a hundred will invest 10 times more, meaning they would buy a $300 product. So now you have more like, you know, this kind of scenario, something like that. What is a hundred times 300 is? This is 30,000. 30,000.
Starting point is 00:47:52 There you go. So you just doubled your revenue. Here's what's wild about this. You doubled your revenue without adding a single customer acquisition cost. Um, you just made a new offering. Uh, what, what, what's happening here typically is intimacy is increasing. Okay. So more time, more connection to you, more access to you, more something
Starting point is 00:48:21 where you're invested in them deeper. Yeah, you got it. It's it is. So this continues on, right? So you'd have 10 of these people would buy a three thousand dollar product. That's another three thousand in revenue. And then one person would spend thirty thousand. Yeah, thirty thousand dollar product one. And then one person. What's been 30,000. Yep.
Starting point is 00:48:45 $30,000 product. One. Yeah. And one customer over here. And the grass keep. Yeah. But you've quadrupled your revenue without adding a single customer, right? So if we kind of go like this, right?
Starting point is 00:49:02 This is this and this is something like this. Wow. Now, so that is how fractal math works. This is for advanced people. Remember Xihan's wall? In the beginning, you want to do this. You don't want to auto all these. You don't want to start with all this. You want to do this and you want to crush it. Max it out. Max it out. When that baby's running on autopilot, right? And if you're a doctor, there's a good chance where you go like, um, like you've been doing it for a hot minute and you're like, how do I scale? I'm starting to think about that.
Starting point is 00:49:36 You go, okay, how many customers have you had over the years? Some number of people will invest 10 times more. This is what, you know, my doctor now, I pay my doctor. We have a private physician. We just pay a monthly retainer, whether I use them or not, but they're there. Like, you know, I'm calling their own. I'm glad they come to you. Come to me, whatever.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Like if, if, if there, I need a script or something like they do tell a hell. I mean, they're just, they're not waiting lines at a CVS. You're not going to like urgent care or you're just like, Hey, and by the way, so we haven't talked about this, but one of the most important concepts of, of how rich people think is most people spend time to save money. Rich people spend money to save time. And that's when you really get, when you get into that, um, a healthy relationship with money and you go, my, my time matters way more than my money. I will spend money.
Starting point is 00:50:33 That's why we hire people, right? It's like we're hiring people constantly cause it's like, I need stuff done so that I'm not doing it. I'm spending when you do coaching, when you, you know, this question, somebody asks is a great one about a mentor. Why do you spend money? Because it's like, you could figure out how to become a New York Times bestselling author all on your own. Probably gonna take you 20 years. I can teach you in two days how to do it. Like exactly, here's everything you do. And that's when we've done it several times.
Starting point is 00:50:58 Same thing, you know, you want to be a Hall of Fame speaker? Like we can teach you in two days, like here's the system. You know, real estate investing, you could stumble your way through it. You could pay someone, not us, because we can teach you in two days, like here's the system. You know, real estate investing, you could stumble your way through it. You could pay someone, not us, because we don't do this, somebody to teach you how to do it. So you're spending money to save time,
Starting point is 00:51:13 and that's what people are doing here. By the way, so if you look at increasing price points, what we typically look at is you go, here's how to either make an offer more enticing or to have them pay more. We call this making it making your offer sexy. Okay, so what we want is we're giving people, people will pay for speed. People will pay for execution, which is like done for you.
Starting point is 00:51:54 People will pay for exposure. And then people will pay for intimacy, which is, you know, intimacy, which is access. Sorry, I'm running out of space here, but intimacy. So I was talking, talking about intimacy here, but that's how you, you move people this way by increasing the speed, increasing how much of it's done for them, giving them additional exposure or intimacy and right. See execution. Execution. So like, um, someone executes it for you.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Yeah. So for example, so I would just When someone executes it for you. Yeah. So for example, so I would just use brand builders group as an example, right? So like, uh, somebody's asking this question, would a brand strategy call work if I don't yet have clarity on my brand? Um, I'm a viewer who wants to speak to young athletes and students. Absolutely. You're the, you're the epitome of what, what we do today has been all about money. Normally what we do is help people get clarity on what their brand message is, who their audience is,
Starting point is 00:52:47 all that, what problem they solve first. But we were a strategy firm first. What's happened is people are like, okay, well, once I get clear on the strategy, who do you recommend I use to build the websites and write the copy and like do all the marketing automation and build base? Yeah, and we have not touched it Because we weren't able to but now we have reached a point of scale over over seven years
Starting point is 00:53:15 We now have 50 employees and you know, we're an eight-figure business We now have something called instant automation toolkit where we can help people execute upon Some preset number of things that we do. That's execution. It's like, Oh, it's done for you. Right. So speed, execution, exposure, intimacy.
Starting point is 00:53:34 That's how you increase. You either increase the price or if you were just doing this and you wanted to get more people to buy this, you give them these as bonuses. That's beautiful. That's what creates conversion. And someone was asking, how can I stay encouraged when others doubt my passion more people to buy this, you give them these as bonuses. That's beautiful. That's what creates conversion. And someone was asking, how can I stay encouraged when others doubt my passion driven work?
Starting point is 00:53:50 Why? I think one thing, spend more time with people that are encouraging you and less time with the people that are discouraging you, or just don't talk to those people about your stuff. If they're constantly doubting you or saying, ah, you should be going for something else, it doesn't mean you have to remove these people about your stuff, if they're constantly doubting you or saying, ah, you should be going for something else. It doesn't mean you have to remove these people from your life forever. It's just maybe talk about your passion work, your projects with
Starting point is 00:54:14 other mentors, friends who are kind of guiding and encouraging you more and really supporting you. And you can also have a conversation with those that are discouraging you if they're friends or family and say, hey, listen, I know you're worried about me doing this or you've seen me fail in the past, but this is something that really lights me up. And I want to feel close to you. I want to feel intimate to you, but sometimes I feel discouraged when I bring this to you.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Uh, my request is that when I do bring it to you, you, you be positive with me. You, you accept it. You know, you encourage me, you give me good feedback and coaching, or you just don't doubt me. You know, you can be neutral, just don't kind of crap on my ideas. That's one thing I would do is really find a couple of good people that believe in you, that are your cheerleaders. And at the end of the day, you may not be able to find that, but you've got to be the one to be a cheerleader to you either way.
Starting point is 00:55:05 There may be seasons of life in that space. There's also one thing on this, because this is an important, important question where you go, how do I stay focused on my passion when other people discouraging me? One of the things that is so true about this. You'll you will never experience haters who are further ahead than you are. That's true.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Like people who are successful, they don't have time to hate on other people. It's almost always from someone who is not on the journey. And the other thing is like, don't, don't take discouragement from someone who you wouldn't take their advice. If they haven't done what you've done, their opinion is irrelevant. Now, if they have done what you're trying to do, I actually would listen to that person. I would listen to that person, but it's almost never someone who has done the thing you're trying to do. Yeah. Rory and I have never left a negative review on another author's book.
Starting point is 00:56:04 We've never said, this book sucks. I'm going on Amazon and I'm typing how bad they wrote this book because we know how hard it is to write a book and put it out there. You know, I've never gone to a podcast and said this podcast sucks on Apple podcast because I know that people are doing what they're doing and I'm not even thinking about that and I'm thinking how do I leave a negative review and criticize someone. It's not really my place to do that unless someone is asking me for feedback. Uh, but speaking of feedback, I am asking you for feedback. Go to Amazon and leave me review the book and let me know again, if this has
Starting point is 00:56:37 been supportive or helpful for you in any way today, uh, leave a review and let me know your thoughts, buy a copy for a friend as well. And let's help people have a more empowering, powerful relationship with money so they can feel emotionally abundant and create the financial abundance as well. And Rory, as we wrap this up, I don't think we knew exactly what we're going to create today. We did. But I feel like from the beginning, if we go back to the beginning for everyone watching live or anyone watching this replay, this evergreen piece of content that could last
Starting point is 00:57:11 forever. We talked about the relationship each one of us has with money and trying to identify it as if it was a person. And what that relationship looks like, feels like in our interaction with money on a daily basis. We talked about our beliefs and our interaction with money on the daily basis. We talked about our beliefs and our behaviors that are in alignment with our beliefs and probably why we have the money or the life we have today and the energy tied into money. Then we went over a number of frameworks that you taught me seven years ago that have helped create me a level of financial abundance that I didn't have before with the level of peace around that money
Starting point is 00:57:51 and less stress of trying to do it all. And also, this is stuff that you've been teaching people for the last seven years. Now you've helped over a thousand clients that you have currently. You've helped a lot of billionaires launch books, get clear on their message, their brand identity. You've helped people at the beginning stages, people who have already made it at bigger stages, reinvent and everything in between. And so whatever spot you're at, whatever starting point you're at, whether you've made it and you're trying to reinvent or you're just getting started.

Any final thoughts around the biggest takeaway for you or that something that opened up for you from our conversation, whether something I said or something you said? Well, I think the way that you present that metaphor of think of money as if it were a person. If you learn about the person, you care for them, you serve them,
Starting point is 01:01:23 you treat them well, you're going gonna have a great relationship with that person One thing that dawned on me that we didn't talk much about is those people who are in that quadrant to Sometimes they think it's like unholy to have money. But yeah, there's a great story right out of Jesus's mouth It's the parable of the talents. Yes, so good. And you know, basically he says, you know, if a master were to leave in, in, leave his household and he leaves, you know, these three people, uh, these talents like money, he gets one guy, five talents, one guy, two talents, and another guy won. And he comes back years later and the guy has five talents. And he says, you know, what have you done with these five talents? He said,
Starting point is 01:02:02 I turned it into 10 talents. And he says, well done, my good and faithful servant. May you be blessed. And then he goes, the guy with two talents, he says, you know, what have you done with these five talents? He said, I turned it into 10 talents. And he says, well done, my good and faithful servant may be blessed. And then he goes, the guy with two talents, he says, what have you done with my two talents? He said, I turned it into four talents, you know, and he says, well done, good and faithful servant. And then he goes to the one with one talent and he says, what have you done? And he said, I was scared of losing your money. I know how shrewd you are.
Starting point is 01:02:20 So I buried your talent and here is your one talent return. And he says, you wicked and lazy servant, take your one talent and give it to the one who has 10 talent talents, because he who has done well, what has been given to him will be given even more. And he who has not done well with what he has, even what little he has will be taken away from him. All of us have whatever your spiritual belief says,
Starting point is 01:02:44 the power of God inside of us. We're creators, we're multipliers. We don't need to hoard money. We have a God that provides for us and cares for us, right? Says right in the, Jesus talks about this, like God provides for the birds. The birds don't store up anything and he provides for them. God closed the flowers with beauty. They don't do anything.
Starting point is 01:03:04 He provides it to them. So we're the beneficiaries of a God who can bless us abundantly. Our only job is to take what we've been given in terms of our time and our talents and go out and serve people and help. So I would just say, serve, create, expand, multiply. That's how you make money easy.
Starting point is 01:03:23 That's a beautiful, beautiful way to close it up. So, Roy, thank you so much for your service, for teaching us, for helping me and my journey.
