WHO HAS MY MONEY?

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

You're probably confused by the subject line.

Let me explain...

A couple weeks ago I watched a couple episodes of Grant Cardone's "Undercover Billionaire" series.

First time I watched TV in a while by the way

But this show was golden.

Imagine this:

A billionaire (Grant Cardone) goes undercover in a small town in Colorado, with no:

  • Identity
  • Trust
  • Money
  • Place to stay
  • Hair

Yes, he even shaved his head. He took this shit serious.

The point of the whole show was to put a Billionaire undercover where no one knew who he was, with only $100 and a beat up truck to his name.

So the objective was for Grant to make 1 million dollars in 90 days starting from practically zero.

Spoiler alert - he built a $5 million business in 90 days instead.

Anyway, he kept on saying this certain phrase...

"WHO HAS MY MONEY"

And it made me think to myself, "Who actually does have my money?"

So I thought

And thought some more

Until my entrepreneurial mind came up with an idea.

Here's a backstory.

There's a horse racing event on tomorrow, everyone dresses up in suits, drinks there faces off and smokes cigars.

Sounds fun right?

But the thing is...

The event is on 2 hours away from where we live.

So NO ONE was gonna drive up.

I decided to host a mini bus and make some profit from everyone that gets on.

So i did. 16 seats available. I asked around my snapchat "Who wants a bus to the races on April 1st?"

55 people said yes. That's 55 positive replies in about 6 hours.

I couldn't fit 55 people on a 16 seater bus.

So I found the biggest bus I could, and hosted a 40 seater.

The bus driver said "€700" for the journey.

Perfect.

I charged 40 people €30 each.

They paid happily because it was in DEMAND.

They actually wanted this.

€700 divided by 40 = €17.5

This means it costed me €17.5 for each person to get on the bus.

€30 take away €17.5 = €12.5

That's €12.5 profit I make on every single person that uses my bus.

So that means I made €500.

With very little work.

Just like that.

WHO HAS MY MONEY?

The people have your money.

You just need to find a way to get them to give it to you.

That's all from me today.

What's up? These past 2 weeks have been crazy for me. To be honest, may be my best 2 weeks yet. 26 calls booked, 3 clients closed, and... yeah that's it. To be honest, I've been grinding my Twitter systems, going double down on them. Inbound & outbound Twitter systems, to be clear. So, I wanted to give you some sauce. Because you know, I can't get too greedy. My inbound strategies: This is what gets me most of the booked calls, and honestly, I'd rather 1 inbound call over 5 cold dm booked...
