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
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.
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
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,
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?
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-
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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?
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
$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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
I highly recommend you go to lewishouse.com
slash brand call right now and just fill out the form.
It's a quick questionnaire.
You can get on a free, I think it's like a 15, 20 minute strategy call with one of your
top strategists who have all this information, who's also been in these rooms, worked with
these big influencers.
How many New York Times bestsellers have you gone through this process or coached in some way now?
Well, we've had, we've helped 60 clients become New York Times USA Today,
our national bestsellers.
We've had 12 of our clients in the last 15 months have become New
York Times bestsellers.
Right.
Exactly.
And you help people scale their revenue streams, their opportunities.
But again,
Just drive leads to their business.
I mean, it's just using your personal brand
to get your expertise out there, just like you do,
adding value to the world, building trust at scale,
and driving those as one leads into your business.
Exactly.
So whatever point you're at,
if you're looking for more emotional peace,
you're gonna get the frameworks from Rory and his team about how to get
clarity on your business, which will give you more joy and peace emotionally
and not stress of trying to figure it all out.
And if you're looking for more financial abundance, the same thing
you'll get by going through the process and executing it when you sign up

Maybe it's something we said in the beginning.

And with that, I appreciate it, Rory. 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,
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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. I appreciate you guys all for being here and we'll see you in the
next interview. I have a brand new book called Make Money Easy. And if you're
