Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Build A Lucrative Business With No Ideas, No Money, and No Expertise with Dane Maxwell
[1:13]– Dane shares something interesting about himself that most people do not know.
- He is nerdy and passionate about having a healthy mind, and he easily spends 6-figures a year being in therapy for business, personal, and relationship issues. He finds it’s the highest ROI for both happiness and income.
[3:22] – What is an income stream, and how does one go about creating it?
- The breakdown for creating an income stream:
- Find the Customer.
- Find their Pain.
- Deliver the Solution.
- Make an Offer.
- If you want to have an income stream-brain, you have to do the CPSO consistently. Then you will be able to explain a business to just about anybody.
- The only person who matters – who you should talk to about your business – is the customer you want to sell to.
[7:03] – Dane talks about his process for finding profitable ideas.
- Always look for the pain that someone is actively trying to solve.
- An entrepreneur must have 4 different brains to become a powerful and profitable creator:
- The Surveyor
- The Tiller
- The Planter
- The Gardener
- One major product killer is the person actively trying to solve this problem.
- Make sure not to ask the users to change their behavior.
[13:38] – Dane talks about how you can solve the problems you find when starting up a business.
- The basic essence of the business is the customer who uses a mechanism to get a result.
- As an entrepreneur, focus on customers and their results, and outsource the creation of the mechanism.
- Do not trade time for money; trade time for equity.
