Could It Be That If You’re Struggling To Make Ends Meet Because You Don’t Have Enough Of The Right Clients, That It’s What You’re Saying To Yourself When Faced With Prospective Clients That Is The Biggest Problem You Have? Dan Kennedy Thinks So and So Do I. See Why Now . . .
I have a confession to make.
My brain grows a boner when I hear concepts that just plain make common sense to me that are potentially life changing.
Like a boner in the traditional sense, the blood starts surging. But unlike the traditional sense, the blood surges up, not down, and this causes me to go into a note taking FRENZY.
Just today I was listening to the incomparable Dr. Joseph Riggio rocking the mic at his INFLUENCE workshop and just in casual conversation, before Joseph was supposed to start “officially” teaching, an audience member brought up to Joseph the fact that he has an exceptionally high closing ratio when he gets in front of a prospect and he was wondering how much of this had to do with conscious or unconscious ability.
The attendee feels he just “does things that work” but he doesn’t have any kind of documented checklist that he runs through every time he goes to pitch that he could teach someone because he’s made his selling process a conscious and deliberate act.
And through some precise questioning, Joseph reveals to him that he indeed does have a deliberate process he goes through that is set in stone, but that he just does this unconsciously.
See why I believe adopting this subtle yet genius thought process of his can make you MASSIVE amounts of money and boost your self-esteem in the realm of getting clients to an ALL-TIME high.
The Difference Between The Consultant Who’s Broke And Desperate And The Consultant Who Is The King/Queen Of Their Castle
Here’s the one conversation that if you pay close attention to now, gives you the key to being proud of your ability to land clients that you love working with and that pay you all the money you want and deserve . . .
Two Questions That Allow You To Get Paid All The Money You Want and Deserve{ 0 comments }
Over the past few weeks my mind set has been pleasantly gang-banged by renegade millionaires.
First, I took notes on the Eben Pagan – How To Be Creative and Innovative course.
Next, I took notes on the Dan Kennedy expensive and exclusive as hell 7-Figure Academy Event.
And while doing all this, I managed to finish Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s incredibly insightful book, “Anti-Fragile: Things That Gain From Disorder”, his definition of Anti-Fragility being . . .
Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty.
Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it antifragile.
Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness.
The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better.
A few weeks ago, I introduced his book here and there was another section of it that I wanted to share with you that ended up being a recurring theme in the thinking in both Eben’s and Dan’s course . . .
. . . the idea that taking the path of least resistance is not the way legendary figures have made a dent in the universe.
These three thought leaders all spoke to the idea that the people who make the biggest impact throughout history and today, always end up having their actions vehemently attacked . . . and that this is what contributes to them having the massive success they do and did.
Here’s what Nassim had to say about it in his book . . .

Let this lesson from the genius mind of world famous internet marketing expert Eben Pagan open the door that lets hoards of your perfect prospects find you
Your headline is the most valuable asset you have when it comes to getting traffic to your site from any source – paid or free.
If people read it and don’t want what it offers, they aren’t going to click through. Plain and simple.
When it comes to marketing online, what people see, either on a banner ad or a search engine listing, or a Pay Per Click ad, is really short.
Sometimes you use content in order to draw people into your marketing funnel.
This could be an article, audio, or a video and more often than not someone sees a listing or a short blurb about this content before they click through to access it.
This is why you’ve got to put an incredible amount of attention into writing emotional short punchy phrases in the form of powerful headlines. (Eben Pagan covers this in module 10 of this course here)
Now the key is to learn how to create the body of your ad or content that sucks people in.
How much content do you put into free educational content like a blog post, an advertorial, a podcast, article, or a video?

See How Being Antifragile is The Closest Thing To A Mega-Mutant Power We Humans Can Ever Hope To Have In This Day And Age
If there is something I can get my whole heart behind, it is the premise of being a renegade in service of the greater good.
THIS is precisely what I believe Nassim Nicholas Taleb is ALL about.
I love this quick snapshot from the Guardian that gives a glimpse at what brought him fame . . .
Taleb started out as a trader, worked as a quantitative analyst and ran his own investment firm, but the more he studied statistics, the more he became convinced that the entire financial system was a keg of dynamite that was ready to blow. In his book, The Black Swan, he argued that modernity is too complex to understand, and “Black Swan” events – hitherto unknown and unpredicted shocks – will always occur.
What’s more, because of the complexity of the system, if one bank went down, they all would. The book sold 3m copies. And months later, of course, this was more or less exactly what happened. Overnight, he went from lone-voice-in-the-wilderness, spouting off-the-wall theories, to the great seer of the modern age.
He says that after the financial crisis he received “all manner of threats” and at one time was advised to “stock up on bodyguards”. Instead, “I found it more appealing to look like one”. Now, he writes, when he’s harassed by limo drivers in the arrival hall at JFK, “I calmly tell them to fuck off.”
And today I want to share with you an excerpt from the prologue of his newest book, Antifragile – Things That Gain From Disorder.
This book brings hard data and realizations you probably haven’t considered before that coincide with what I’ve been harping on lately – the necessity of embracing measured risk more than calculated comfort if you wish to separate yourself from the brain dead zombie herd who live lives of quiet desperation.
I just started the book last week based on a recommendation from my boy Tim Birch and I couldn’t wait to finish it to tell you to check it out as I’m only ten chapters in as of today.
But judging by the four stars it has received on 342 reviews on Amazon that I noticed today when going there to grab the link for you, 345 if you count these three…
“Taleb takes on everything from the mistakes of modern architecture to the dangers of meddlesome doctors and how overrated formal education is. . . . An ambitious and thought-provoking read . . . highly entertaining.”—The Economist
“This is a bold, entertaining, clever book, richly crammed with insights, stories, fine phrases and intriguing asides. . . . I will have to read it again. And again.”—The Wall Street Journal
“[Taleb] writes as if he were the illegitimate spawn of David Hume and Rev. Bayes, with some DNA mixed in from Norbert Weiner and Laurence Sterne. . . . Taleb is writing original stuff—not only within the management space but for readers of any literature—and . . . you will learn more about more things from this book and be challenged in more ways than by any other book you have read this year. Trust me on this.”—Harvard Business Review
…it seems as if I have good taste and have made a pretty good call on making the decision to introduce you to this book sooner than later.
But I’ll let you this part of the prologue below speak for itself.
See what you think of his Antifragility philosophy on doing the opposite of the mass majority who are hypnotized by their parents, preachers, professors, and politicians into making decisions for themselves that ruin their health, their relationships and the finances…

What Will Prove To Be The Most Powerful Lesson You Gain From These Notes On The Dan Kennedy Renegade Time Management Course?
The Renegade Time Management course is a program I’d always wanted notes on in order to have access to the principles that allow Dan Kennedy to reign supreme in a crowded niche, year after year after year.
So let’s get to it with the first of five of the top lessons I gained from combing through this legend’s rituals for ass kicking . . .
1. Lack of Time Accountability and Measurement Leads To Horrible Results
There is no neutral in life. You’re either in “Drive” or you’re in “Reverse”.
If you take away accountability, your results start moving in reverse. If you impose it, it improves. Every professional sports coach knows this.
The ultimate good news/bad news joke applies here which is “The good news is: You’re your own boss. The bad news is: You’ve got a REAAALLLY shitty, dysfunctional, and incompetent boss.”
An entrepreneurial person has a little accountability pressure in the fact that work needs to be done for clients, but there is none for the moment by moment, function by function basis.
So the only accountability available to the entrepreneur is hitting or missing time and money targets.
Most people try to get the job done with money targets alone. But it’s the time targets that make up the day to day that REALLY make it possible to hit the money targets.
If you’re waiting till the end of the month to see if you hit your sales quota or not, and then judging yourself successful or not based on your hitting it or not, you’re too late.
Dan talks about how the fact that he met all but one of his time targets for that day, is very predictive of what his bank balance is gonna look like at the end of the month.
If he’d missed 4 or 5 of them he’d be annoyed with himself and want to look at why this occurred. Was it faulty assessment of how long it’d take to do something? And why is that?” so that he doesn’t make the same mistake again.
Or it’s because he let something interfere with his schedule and what did he let interfere and how can he make sure that doesn’t happen anymore?
You want predictive indicators, not historic indicators. Predictive indicators of money are your use of your time. This is how you hold yourself accountable.
2. Time Can Be Wasted and Abused Only To The Extent That It’s Available To Be So
So look at this scenario . . .
Say you’ve got a phone appointment with the person who is the #1 VIP in your life in 30 seconds – President of United States, Playboy centerfold, Nelson Mandela, client who wants to give you $280,000 dollars, your favorite Hollywood celebrity, whoever, and you’re waiting for the call and some guy in your office pokes his head in asking if you’ve got a minute.
Would you brush him off? Of course you would.
SO WHY ISN’T THE APPOINTMENT THAT YOU HAD WITH YOURSELF EVERY BIT AS IMPORTANT TO BE SAFEGUARDED THAN IS THE APPOINTMENT WITH THE POPE OR THE PRESIDENT?
When you look at it like this, it’s easier to be tough about this.
3. Go Beyond Scheduling Your Day
Dan Kennedy’s days aren’t scheduled in the sense that he’s got a page in the appointment book where there’s a meeting noted down, a lunch, and a couple of phone calls written in.
Dan’s days are scripted.
A schedule is your appointments for the day. A script is every minute of the movie that is your day. That’s the easiest way to explain what scripting your day is.
Think about this in terms of a movie script. Most people are trying to shoot the movie of their day with just an outline. This wouldn’t work well on a Hollywood set and it doesn’t work very well for you either.
Dan believes you can get the most work done by having everything blocked out minute-by-minute-by-minute (in hunks of minutes of course).
With a good Hollywood script, if someone is walking from the front door to their car, it’s been determined how long that’s gonna take.
They need to take all of this into account because they have a target for how long the film is. In your day, you’ve got a fixed number of minutes available to you in which you can make things happen.
If you want maximum productivity, you want to know how long it takes for you to get even the small things done and factor this into the script that equates to work hours you have available to you.
Everything that needs to be accomplished for the day is listed according to the time it’s going to take to complete, each of them totaling up to the minutes available in the time block.
Every minute of Dan’s work day is accounted for. So if he lets an interruption in, something in this script, something isn’t going to happen.
Something, or someone is going to get cheated today if somebody barges in and bumps to the front of the line.
And when that happens consistently, people run you rather than you running yourself.
Conclusion:
So there you have it.
Three valuable insights that dive deeper into Dan Kennedy Renegade Millionaire mindset.
Go let them be the best defense for the asset you can never replace: your time.
