SFR 212: Wealth Formulas...
This is one of the reasons I pursue this game so hard. Check out the other options you have to this funnel game\u2026
\xa0
Today, I'm gonna teach you The Wealth Formula, and why I'm so jazzed about this Funnel Game.
\xa0
I'm really pumped to share this with you.
\xa0
I ran through The Wealth Formula at my exclusive OfferMind event, so you\u2019re gonna get a sneak peek behind closed doors...
\xa0
Right now, I'm doing the One Funnel Away Challenge which is specifically targeted at people who are people new to funnels.
\xa0
The Wealth Formula is my answer when someone says, "Stephen, this is really cool, but it seems like a lotta work. There's gotta be another way? \xa0How long does it take the average person to be successful with this?"
\xa0
...I hate that question, it drives me nuts. I\u2019m like, \u201cWell, how bad do you wanna make a million bucks?\u201d
What Yield Will You Learn To Earn?
\xa0
One of the benefits hanging out with the amazing people at ClickFunnels was that I got some cool insights into the books and courses they rated. I got to see who the gurus learned from...
\xa0
If a guy who runs a hundred million dollar company thinks something\u2019s cool\u2026 then I should probably think that's cool too, right!
\xa0
Ya know what I mean?
\xa0
If I hear, \u201cHey, I really learned a lot from this...\u201d I'm like, "What was the name of that again?" \xa0I'm gonna look it up and buy it.
\xa0
I bought so many books when I worked at ClickFunnels... because I was just like, \u201cIf Russell thinks that's amazing, I need to make sure I have that info for the future.\u201d
\xa0
I\u2019d be sitting feet away from people like Tony Robbins or \xa0Robert Kiyosaki, and if they said, "I read this great book recently... " I\u2019d be like, Boom! BUY IT.
\xa0
The Wealth Formula was one of the things I heard about, for the first time, while I was at ClickFunnels... and it was life-changing for me.
\xa0
I already believed in funnels, but this was amazing.
\xa0
Capitalist Pig, Baby!
\xa0
At OfferMind I did a presentation called: \u201cWhat Yield Will You Learn To Earn?\u201d
\xa0
I walked through how much money you can typically expect to get from different kinds of investment vehicles\u2026
\xa0
I know there are people out there making MORE money from some of the ways that I \xa0talk about, but I'm talking about the 80 percent majority.
\xa0
I don't wanna learn stuff where I have to learn exceptions to the rule in order to make cash. I'm interested in the rule.
\xa0
\xa0
\u2026 the cash causing models.
\xa0
If I do \xa0X, Y, and Z, will I get this amount of money? I'm looking for the 80 percent rule. The default that makes the cash most of the time.
\xa0
Let me show you how the Wealth Formula plays out\u2026
\xa0
THE WEALTH FORMULA
\xa0
QUESTION #1: Figure out how much money you're willing to put away into an investment account every month for the rest of your life?
You don\u2019t touch it, it\u2019s just meant for investments. Write that amount down.
\xa0
\xa0
For this example, I'm gonna use $165...
\xa0
Can you put $165 in an account every month?
\xa0
If you're like "Hey, I can't do that right now." That's okay, you're solving the problem ahead of time... and that's cool.
QUESTION #2: How long will you leave it there?
\xa0
Okay, let's say 25 years.
\xa0
For 25 years, you're not gonna touch that money. It's not meant for income.
QUESTION #3: What yield will you get?
What yield you\u2019ll get depends on the investment vehicle you choose?
\u2026 And that's one of the things I wanna talk about here.
QUESTION #4: What\u2019s the total amount of money you want?
\xa0
Let's say, a million dollars\u2026 that\u2019s a nice round number ;-)
So now, I wanna run through a few examples with you\u2026 because if you knew how to earn a higher yield... what would that mean for you? \xa0CLUE: *IT\u2019S HUGE*
\xa0
\xa0
RETURN ON INVESTMENT\u2026
\xa0
WEALTH SCENARIO #1:
\xa0
So let's say you take $165 every single month at a yield of zero percent (and just put it under your mattress) for 25 years.
\xa0
How much money would you have?
\xa0
After 25 years, you\u2019d have $49,500.
\xa0
I know you mathematicians are freaking out over the fact that it's zero percent, just get past that... you\u2019d have $49,500...
\xa0
Could you live off of that if you retired? Probably not, right?
\xa0
You\u2019d get creative real fast\u2026
\xa0
WEALTH SCENARIO #2:
\xa0
Let's say you take $165, and you want to learn to earn 3 percent for 25 years.
\xa0
Q: Where can you guarantee to learn to earn 3 percent? \xa0
\xa0
A: Some savings accounts\u2026 I'm talking guaranteed, you understand? There are some savings accounts out there right now, not many anymore, but there are some that'll give you 3 percent if you just leave it alone.
\xa0
\xa0
Q: What would the total be after 25 years?
After 25 years, the total would be $73,775 (I left out the cents).
\xa0
Let\u2019s keep going\u2026
\xa0
WEALTH SCENARIO #3:
\xa0
$165 per month at 6 percent for 25 years\u2026
\xa0
Q: What's an investment vehicle that\u2019ll guarantee you that return on your money for 25 years?
\xa0
A: A Certificate of Deposit (CD) from a bank. You can totally get six percent from a CD. You loan the bank your money for 25 years, and you get back six percent back after that.
\xa0
\xa0
\u2026 25 years at 6 percent equals $114,000.
WEALTH SCENARIO #4:
\xa0
Let's say you learn to earn seven percent\u2026
\xa0
Q: What investment vehicle would allow you to earn 7 percent over 25 years?
\xa0
\xa0
A: Last year the average mutual fund made seven percent from a 401k... ain't that crazy? Yeugh. That sucks! How much is inflation?
\xa0
Do you think the value of money's gonna go up or down? \xa0DOWN, right! It's on the way down\u2026
Not only can China buy us now, I think Canada could too. The dollar's going down baby. They're the one that made the American flag for three dollars and sent it over.
\xa0
So\u2026
\xa0
If you put $165 per month in a 401K at 7 percent, \xa0after 25 years you\u2019d have\u2026
\xa0
...$134,000.
\xa0
WEALTH SCENARIO #5:
\xa0
Okay, let's say you take $165, and you want learn to earn ten percent...
\xa0
Q: What\u2019s a guaranteed way to earn ten percent for 25 years?
\xa0
A: \xa0A Mutual Fund will do that. Again, NOT a lot of them offer that much anymore, but if you can find one, it\u2019s pretty much a guaranteed return, right?
\xa0
\xa0
I'm looking for very sustainable, secure things that you can put your money into.
\xa0
If put your $165 per month into a mutual fund offering 10 percent, after 25 years, that's gonna turn into $220,000.
\xa0
Right next one\u2026
\xa0
WEALTH SCENARIO #6:
\xa0
$165 per month at 16 percent for 25 years...
\xa0
Q: What will get me a 16 percent return? Options start to get a little bit lower, right?
\xa0
A:The empanada food franchise that we created at college came in at 16 percent.
\xa0
At the end of that semester, we had to do a full financial P&L statement\u2026
\xa0
I was so embarrassed at my numbers. I stood up and said: "We only got 16 percent returns, but at least we learned a lot."
\xa0
The professor said: You got 16 percent?" I was like, "Yeah, I'm sorry. I know... I tried really hard. It sucks! Fire me, please." He said: "That's amazing in the food business! That's not easy." He was the CMO of Denny's...
\xa0
My knee jerk reaction was to yell out, "That Sucks! I'm never going into the food business, ever... \u201c
\xa0
...It's not like that returns guaranteed, and it's not nearly as passive as some of those other models we\u2019ve talked about!
16 percent over 25 years would yield\u2026.
\xa0
...$654,000.
WEALTH SCENARIO #7:
\xa0
Q: What investment vehicle will yield 20 percent returns on your monthly investment of $165 over 25 years?
\xa0
Q: Tax Lien Properties are hyper guaranteed by the government.
\xa0
You could take $165 every single month, package it up, and once a year go down to the courthouse steps and buy as many tax lien properties as possible, and the government says, "I guarantee you 18 percent ... \xa0or even a 36 percent return."
\xa0
Did you know you could do that? Interesting, right?
\xa0
\xa0
Over 25 years, that would turn into 1.4 million dollars.
\xa0
Congratulations, I made you a millionaire! Is that cool?
...it's freaking pennies, let's keep going\u2026
\xa0
WEALTH SCENARIO #8:
\xa0
$165 every single month for 25 years at a return of 25 percent.
\xa0
Q: What vehicle would give you that kind of return?
\xa0
A: Fix and Flips will definitely do that, right?
\xa0
\xa0
I've got great friends that do this. They'll try and flip hundreds of houses in a year. Obviously there are variants, but 25 percent is a totally realistic number. It's kinda low, but it\u2019s a realistic...
\xa0
Let's keep going...
\xa0
WEALTH SCENARIO #9:
\xa0
Let's say I put a dollar a month into something every month for 25 years, and I get a hundred percent return...
\xa0
What would my return be after 25 years?
\xa0
It's freaking huge = 375 million dollars!
\xa0
Now I know you guys are gonna laugh at this... but it's to illustrate a point\u2026
\xa0
Q: What vehicle could give you that return on investment?
\xa0
A: Sales Funnels!
\xa0
I've never had such insane, consistent returns in anything like the funnel game...
Let me show you how this works \u2026
\xa0
HOW TO RUN A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS
\xa0
There was a guy who came to Russell for a funnel. He taught you how to kill people. He was teaching self defense. Not like karate, \u201cI'm gonna use this move, that move\u2026\u201d It was the dirty foul play, let's just make you live kinda stuff.
\xa0
We hung out in Russell's garage on his wrestling mat for two days. I had to mimic poking Russell's eye out with my thumb, and all this crazy crap.
\xa0
These guys were amazing at what they did. They taught us all about biology and the way the body really is: \u201cHit that organ. Then boom! It's done.\u201d
\xa0
I was like, \u201cHoly crap, I love you, Russell. This is really heavy. Oh man.\u201d
\xa0
We weren't allowed to talk to each other. We were each others test dummies for two days. It was effective, but it was heavy.
\xa0
We built this awesome funnel for him, and John starts driving traffic and we\u2019re putting $1 in and he was getting a $1.30 back out.
\xa0
But he was pissed. He was so mad at us.
\xa0
I was like, "What is wrong with you?"
\xa0
It would go up to $1.40, $1.50, then back down to $1.30\u2026 back and forth\u2026 He was asking us, "What's going on? This is crazy."
\xa0
We were like, \u201cWhat is wrong with you? We\u2019d be throwing a party right now!\u201d
\xa0
They were putting a dollar in, and getting $1.50 back out, plus some customers and people on their list.
\xa0
Just upsell something... and that's a million dollar scenario.
\xa0
Even if you\u2019re just breaking even, you're getting customers for free. That\u2019s a million dollar scenario... even if you suck.
\xa0
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
\xa0
My whole goal is to put a dollar in and get two dollars back out\u2026 c'mon let\u2019s keep em going.
\xa0
When I launched ads for Secret MLM Hacks, I put $4,000 in ads. That week, $8,000 came back out.
\xa0
Then I put that $8,000 back in, and $16,000 came back out. I was like, "This is sick, let's do it again."
\xa0
The next week I grabbed that $16,000 and $32,000 came back out. I was like "Oh, my gosh! This is starting to get big. Phew!"
\xa0
I didn't take profit (That\u2019s very key, don't take profit for a while), then I took that $32,000, and put it back into ads, and that month, \u201cCrap! Only $48,000 came back out.\u201d Darn it!
\xa0
$4,000 turned into $48,000\u2026 Does that sound good to you?
\xa0
Find an investment vehicle that does anything like what funnels can do? *That's my point*
\xa0
There\u2019s no better investment opportunity, no better vehicle for making it rain in your life than learning this sales funnel game.
\xa0
NO COUPONS!
\xa0
When someone comes to me and says, "Oh, I could save you a couple of percentage points on your house." I don't freaking care!
\xa0
I am focused on how to make money, not save it. I'm not a coupon cutter.
...And I want you to have that same mentality too!
\xa0
My mom is amazing\u2026 she'd walk into a grocery stores and we'd get two grocery store, grocery carts full of food, and they'd give her $400 at the same time. It was like, \u201cI dunno how you deal with coupons?\u201d but she figured out a way to do it. It was nuts.
\xa0
BUT\u2026
\xa0
If you take the same amount of effort and just figure out how to play a piece of this funnel game the return on investment can be huge.
\xa0
It's not like school\u2026.
\xa0
You don't need to get an A in funnel building to make a lot of money. You can get an F, and put a dollar in and still get a dollar fifty back out.
\xa0
That\u2019s a fifty percent return. You see what I'm saying with this? This is where Papa Larsen comes out a little bit\u2026
\xa0
Okay, check this out\u2026
When I first launched I put a dollar in, and got four back out for a while.
\xa0
...Then ad fatigue starts, and that's totally normal, \xa0and now, \u201cOh crap, I'm \xa0putting a dollar in and only getting two dollars back out. Oh dang it.\u201d
\xa0
That's awesome!
\xa0
What's the move at that point?
\xa0
You call your ads person and say, "TURN IT UP!" Borrow if you need to and dump that cash in! Does this make sense?
\xa0
This is how I've done it.
\xa0
Maybe you broke even, or lose money the first few times you do it. Sweet! Who cares?
\xa0
I've never taken a loan. I've never put a dollar of my own into my ads...
\xa0
This is what I do instead:
\xa0
- Build up the audience
\xa0
- Sell the audience
\xa0
- They guide me in the creation of the thing I sell to them
\xa0
- They give me the cash
\xa0
- I take that cash and I dump it immediately back into ads; Boom back in. Boom back in. Boom back in
\xa0
\u2026 those numbers start to get real big real fast after the fifth or sixth time.
How much did it cost me to build that audience? Nothing, because I'm publishing on a podcast. I've never put a dollar of my own into my business. Ever!
\xa0
THAT is why you learn to be a funnel builder. Welcome to the greatest game ever!
\xa0
The numbers are easy to work, and you can suck at it and still make a lot of money\u2026
\xa0
But too many people are like, \u201cI can't launch yet it needs to be perfect.\u201d Oh man!
\xa0
If I put a dollar in, I get 50 percent return back out. That's super realistic returns right there... and that's how a lot of people do it.
\xa0
All these people that make a million dollars in three or four months, and get the actual Two Comma Club Award, this is how they do it! They just know the numbers.
\xa0
I'm NOT even thinking about the fact that I might have an upsell, I'm just thinking on that funnel...
\xa0
You go and add another funnel, and \u201cBam!\u201d Way more money.
\xa0
Who was it that said, \u201cA well-executed idea is worth ten lifetimes of hard work.\u201d? \xa0I think it was J. Abraham... on a beach!
\xa0
Anyway, $1.00 in, $1.50 back out for 25 years...
\xa0
If you just did that... and you sucked... No upsells or anything else\u2026
\xa0
That's five million dollars.
\xa0
Does it install hope in the noggin?
\xa0
You can afford to suck at it the game for a while, but most people aren't willing to do that... or to get help when they need it.
\xa0
...don\u2019t let that be you!
\xa0
You can be real bad at the game and still make it rain
\xa0
Mmm\u2026. Oh, that's good one. It's gonna be on a T-shirt soon ;-)
\xa0
Boom! Until Next Time\u2026
\xa0
Hey, I know this game can take a few tries to get the money flowing, especially the first time, right? And that can suck.
\xa0
I also know from experience how frustrating it can be to know your business is just a few tweaks away from your next big payday, but you don't know what tweaks to make. I've felt completely paralyzed by that in the past, and it sucks.
\xa0
I've been blessed to work with thousands of new and successful businesses over the last three years, and two things have really shocked me.
\xa0
#1: I began noticing the pattern to success is vastly the same, but everyone's spot on the path is obviously different.
\xa0
#2: I've been shocked and overwhelmed by the number of people asking for my help, my systems, and funnels in their business.
\xa0
Well, until now I've never had a system or product in my own business to help you build yours. Now, I'm finally able to be public about all this.
