Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Are you committed? Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. And the bet was that if you win, I give you an additional $100,000, right? But if I win, I get your entire net worth, all of it. I get the car, I get the house, I get the 401k, all of it. It's all gone if I win. And all you have to do is bring in one more deal by the end of August. How many of you think you would probably do that? If all of that was on the line, how many of you think you would do that? I think most of you would, if not...

Minimize the Gatekeeper, Maximize Access Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Between 7 and 9 a.m. The reason why I do that is that I minimize the gatekeepers that keeps me away from my prospects. I know at 7 a.m., business owner, decision makers, get their phone, it's arm's distance away, and they can't help themselves. They'll see that phone ring and they're like, Oh, my assistant isn't around. Someone has got to answer this phone. Ring number three, ring number four. Drives them crazy. Go to that...

Take an Honest Assessment Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Too good at what you do to not have the lead flow that you need. You're too good at what you do. So I know darn well if you went to every trade show and if you were at every event and you were typing in every time I asked and you were going for it 100%, you'd have your leads, right? And so July is a great opportunity to say, all right, yeah, yeah, yep. I went to go see the 4th of July fireworks on the 2nd of July. Also, instead of doing...

Talk to 24 People—Get One Referral pt.2 Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. I don't know where the universe or the volcanic activity that regulates this is, but when I have 12, I get no leads. When I have 36 or 48, leads, the quality of them goes down. Somewhere in that bubble of 24, and here's what I think, I think it's because I stay in touch with them, their frequent dinner or networking people, I see them on a regular basis, we tend to talk a lot, we tend to have deep conversations, something...

I don't know how the planets rotate to make this work.

Hi Everyone, Carl Gould here your #70secondCEO, just over a minute of investment per day for a lifetime of results.
Now, up to Stage 1 and Stage 2, it was a horse trade. Hours work, hours pay, or 2 weeks worth of work for my salary or however you do that. But think about this: I like for you to change the paradigm as that how you consider yourself in your business. Forget that you're an employee right now. Imagine you are in your own personal services business and you're providing a service to your company. And rather than you just punch in the clock, or getting your salary, you're not gonna do that anymore. You're gonna write down a list of all the things that you're supposed to do every 2 weeks or every month or whenever the pay period. But instead of just receiving a check or a direct deposit into your account or a wire transfer, you're gonna have to submit an INVOICE. And that invoice is not gonna be how I bought you value dollar for dollar. In this scenario, you have to bring back 5:1 ROI, which means for every dollar, rand, euro, pound you get paid, you have to return 5 back to the organization. And guess what? If every pay period you submit your invoice and you show how you saved or made the company 5 times the amount of what you charged, you get paid.
