Outsized returns often come from betting against conventional wisdom, and conventional wisdom is usually right. Given a 10% chance of 100 times payoff, you should take that bet every time. But you're still going to be wrong 9 times out of 10. We all know that if you swing for the fences, you're going to strike out a lot, but you're also going to hit some home runs.
The difference between baseball and business, however, is that baseball has a truncated outcome distribution.
Chapter 5: What strategies can enhance the value of your offers?
When you swing, no matter how well you connect with the ball, the most runs you can get is four. In business, every once in a while, when you step up to the plate, you can score a thousand runs. This long-tail distribution of returns is why it's important to be bold. Big winners pay for so many experiments. Jeff Bezos As entrepreneurs, we make bets every day.
We are gamblers, gambling our hard-earned money on labor, inventory, rent, marketing, etc. All with the hopes of a higher payout. Oftentimes, we lose, but sometimes, we win and win big. However, there is a difference between gambling in business and gambling in a casino. In a casino, the odds are stacked against you.
Chapter 6: How does taking risks contribute to entrepreneurial success?
With skill, you can improve them, but never beat them. In contrast, in business, you can improve your skills to shift the odds in your favor. Simply stated, with enough skill, you can become the house.
After beginning a series of books on acquisition, it became apparent that I could not talk about any other topic without first addressing the offer, the starting point of any conversation to initiate a transaction with a customer. what you are literally providing them in exchange for their money. That's where it all begins. This book is about how to make profitable offers.
Specifically, how to reliably turn advertising dollars into enormous profits using a combination of pricing, value, guarantees, and naming strategies. I call the proper combination of these components a Grand Slam offer.
I chose this term partially in homage to the above quote from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and because, like a Grand Slam in baseball, a Grand Slam offer is both very good and very rare.
Chapter 7: What are the common mistakes entrepreneurs make in offers?
Additionally, to extend the baseball metaphor, it takes no more effort to make a Grand Slam offer than to strike out. The difference is dictated by the skill of the marketer and how well he connects his offer with his audience's desires. In business, you can have so-so offers, the singles and doubles that keep the game going, pay the bills, and keep the lights on.
But unlike baseball, where a Grand Slam scores a maximum of four runs, a Grand Slam offer in the business world can score you a thousand-fold payoff and a result in a world where you never need to work again. It would be like connecting with the ball so well during one single at-bat that you automatically win every World Series for the next hundred years.
It takes years of practice to make something as complicated as hitting a major league fastball until the bleachers look effortless. Your stance, vision, prediction, ball speed, bat speed, and hit placement all must be perfect.
Chapter 8: How can you apply the lessons from this episode to your business?
In marketing and customer acquisition, the process of getting new customers, there are just as many variables that must all align to truly knock it out of the park. But with enough practice and enough skill, you can turn the wild world of acquisition, which will throw curveballs at you every day, into a home run derby, knocking offer after offer out of the stadium.
To everyone else, your success will look unbelievable. But to you, it will just feel like just another day at work. The greatest hitters of all time also have many strikeouts, just as there are many failed offers in the track record of great marketers. We learn skills through failure and practice. We do this knowing that nine times out of 10, we will be wrong.
We still act boldly, hoping for that offer we connect with so well that it results in our big payoff. The good news is that in business, you only need to hit one Grand Slam offer to retire forever. I've done this four or five times in my life. As for my track record, I have a 36 to one lifetime return on my advertising dollars over my business career.
Consider this my lifetime batting average, if you will. That means for every $1 I spend on advertising, I get $36 back, a 3,600% return. That is my average over eight years, and I continue to improve. This book is my attempt to share that skill with you, with a specific focus on building Grand Slam offers, so you can experience the same levels of success.
It's also the first in a series of books meant to get entrepreneurs to financial freedom. In plain words, fuck you money. Subsequent books in the series will look more deeply at getting more customers, converting more prospects into clients, making those clients worth more, and other lessons I wish I had learned earlier in scaling my businesses.
Pro tip, faster, deeper learning by reading and listening at the same time. Here's a life hack I discovered a long time ago. If you listen to the audiobook while reading the ebook or physical book, you will increase your reading speed and retain more information. The contents are being stored in more places in your brain. This is how I read most things worth reading.
I've priced my products as cheap as the platforms will allow me, so this is an employee to make an extra 99 cents. Promise. If you want to give it a try, go ahead and grab the audio version and see for yourself. You might find it as valuable as I have as someone who struggles to stay focused. It took two days to talk this book out loud and record it.
I figured I'd put this hack at the beginning of the book so you had a chance to do it if you found the first chapter valuable enough to earn your attention. Section 1. How We Got Here. The Ugly Truth. Chapter 1. How We Got Here. Magic will find those with pure hearts, even when all seems lost. Morgan Rhodes. December 24th, 2016. Christmas Eve. The room was pitch black.
My shoes stuck to a floor covered in dried soda and crushed bits of candy. My nostrils were full with the smell of stale popcorn. We had just shown up too late to get good seats and ended up pressed near the front of the theater. Just a few rows in front of me, the movie's blazing projection occupied my entire field of view.
