I just woke up. It's around 8:00 a.m. right now. I couldn't stop thinking about this. Yesterday, I was talking to a beginner in business and always asked, "What do you want to accomplish? What is your goals? And in what time frames [music] do you see yourself accomplish those goals?" And the response I got was honestly something that I get pretty often, which is that he said that I wanted to make 10K a month within 30 days. [music] He's a complete beginner. He has never started the business before. And this is not uncommon. It's something that I hear all the time. I hear 50k a month. I even heard 100k a month within the first 3 months. People don't realize how big of a problem this actually is. Always when people say this to me, I try to make it clear to them. I try to say it in a nice way how delusional they actually are. Because they expect to go out with no experience. They haven't learned the skills yet. They've never started the business. They don't know sales and they expect to go out and make 10k a month which is a doctor's salary in 30 days. A doctor has to study for 10 years and in many places go in depth like 100k in depth in order to get their education and they expect that they can get the same results within 30 days of starting a business. If that's you then you're very lucky that you found this video. A year ago, one of my close friends was starting his business as well. And he is arguably way smarter than me in many areas of life. For example, he's even better at sales than me. And he tried to start a business [music] and I tried to help him out. I paid for his software, so he didn't have any cost starting out. I was even sending him interested leads in the service he was offering. On paper, he had all the right things in order to be successful. The one thing he was lacking though was his expectations. and in 3 months he gave up. Today he sees the results that we have now gotten and he says often that man I wish I I continued or man I wish I started when you guys started all because of these wrong expectations. And the worst thing is that it's not even really his fault. When you scroll social media, all you see is 20-year-olds [music] flexing their Lambos, sitting in private jets, and telling you that 10K a month is nothing, and that it comes to you so easily. Why do they do this? They are selling the dream. And by making things seem easy, like you'll get to 10K a month within 30 days, it makes their offer or their course or whatever they're selling seem way more worth it. And that's also something when you create content that I've been thinking about a lot. How do I not become like these people? How can I help people without giving them wrong expectations? And that's also why you will never see me telling you that building any business and specifically not an AI agency is easy because it's not. And that's also one of the reasons why the info space right now is so controversial because a lot of people in the space are literally scammers. I'm not going to mention any names. And I hate this because it's a way bigger problem than people think. Let's say that you are a complete beginner in the space. You are brainwashed to be delusional. You see all of these videos of private jets and lambos. You buy a 3,000, $5,000, maybe even $10,000 course and then you go out and you correctly work your ass off for 30 days straight, but you get nowhere close to reaching $10,000 a month. [music] Actually, the most common after 30 days is still $0 in revenue because you are building skills, but skills is not something that can be measured. So, you look at that $0 and you think, "Okay, this was a scam." And then you quit forever. you never continue in business. And the biggest problem is that there are so many bright minds that [music] would have been killer entrepreneurs that get burnt like this and then quit forever and then they go to live average lives because of that one bad experience. And that sucks because the world needs bright entrepreneurs. Everything you see around you, this mouse, these AirPods, everything is made by businesses that are made by entrepreneurs. The entire job of an entrepreneur is to find a problem, solve that problem, and thereby make the world a better space. So, this is literally just killing entrepreneurs. This is literally just killing those bright minds that otherwise would go out and be something great. So, I've been thinking for a while about how I don't do that. How can I build an audience without giving wrong expectations? And I'm not unguilty of it myself. The solution I found is to not sell $5,000 courses to beginners in business that don't know what they're doing. I think the future is in low ticket communities cuz I strongly believe that that is by far the best way to start as a beginner. By getting good information, but also at an affordable price while being surrounded by other entrepreneurs, I think it's the perfect place to be when you're just starting out. And it's not like I'm against high ticket. I'm just against selling high ticket to people that don't know what they're doing [music] because then you can then sell high ticket when people are more educated and when they get to the point where they know that real success in business takes years to [music] make. That is kind of what I've been trying to do. I have my completely free community that has 100,000 people inside of it. And then we have a very affordable community on top of that where people don't get burned for $3,000. And that seems to work pretty well. I guess the entire point of this video was just to tell you that you need to extend your time frame because real success only really comes when you stop thinking in weeks. You stop thinking [music] in months and instead you start thinking in years and decades. It took me 4 months in order to land my first client that made me 400 bucks. It might not take you as long because all of a sudden you have way more information on YouTube and in free communities, but just set your expectations right from the start. you won't be able to make a doctor's salary within the first month of starting. Think about how crazy that sounds. There might be a 1% that manages to do it. And that is just the 1%. You shouldn't give up if you don't reach those results. If you watched all the way to the end, you're probably going to be a killer entrepreneur because you have the attention span to do so. I really appreciate you for watching. I hope that you're going to succeed. And when you do, come up to me, tell me that you watch this video because that is the reason that I that I do this. As always, have a wonderful day. Peace out.
