What Kind of Buyer Buys Your guarantee Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. What kind of buyer buys the guarantee? What about that buyer buys the guarantee? They really need it. They're under some sort of distress. What else? They got the money.

They say, listen, we're not waiting for the insurance. You want to fix, you pay us...

In the early stages you’re focusing a lot on marketing, developing your product, you're taking–you're reinvesting in your business. You should not have mountains of cash flow in the early stages, now take that same symptom of cash flow and let’s say that was a challenge and let’s take that same symptom in the later stages, 5, 6, 7 and you had cash flow challenges, that’s very dysfunctional at that point your cash flow should...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.  90-day goals that have–that are actual destinations and then separate that from what we call categories of improvement or just the roles you play in your life. So, for example, it will be hard to imagine that you could do this but imagine you set the goal to be a better podcaster like hard to imagine, like this guy is crazy, right? There’s no such thing like there’s a such quantifiable thing, it’s a category of improvement as long as you’re a...

Finding Peers is Extremely Important Hi Everyone, Carl Gould here your #70secondCEO, just over a minute of  investment per day for a lifetime of results. Some statistics for you, 1 in 15 people are business owners, if you, if you do a million dollars or more, you are, you are 1 in 600 people.

Overpaying Why do We do it?   Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Years ago, I took my daughter to a concert. She was so excited and she was just happy to get in the door and I remember calling up and getting the tickets and they said, Where do you want to sit? And I said, get me in the building. I don't care where we are. It's not gonna matter, just get me in the building. I wasn't all that hyped up, I was to hear the music and that turned out to be a great show. But I was in the nosebleed...

That was my bed, a little more rough than I am used to, a little bit of rain last night as well. I rappelled down that mountain, a little bit bigger than I’m used to. What you hear in the background is the river we are going to raft down which is a little faster than I am used to. What are you going to do today that’s going to challenge you?

What are the 7 Stages?.

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. So what are these 7 stages? We've been talking about them a lot already. Let me give you an overview of each of the 7 stages before we get more into it. Stage one is the strategic planning stage. This is where your dream is born, you're going to focus on the direction, the planning of your company, you're going to sell your business first, then you're going to create it. Well, what the heck does that mean? Have you ever heard of a franchise? Ray Kroc, way back when he had the idea of selling businesses to people when they didn't exist, and then creating them later on. He actually had to convince the government that it was not fraudulent. Have you ever bought a home or an apartment just by looking at the building plans when there was nothing but a hole in the ground, and a building was going to be built later on? That build or that developer sold the business first, created second. A very common practice in this day and age when they build new sports arenas is they sell what's called Personal seat licenses before the venue is ever built. They sell you the right to buy that seat once it's made. In other words, they sold the whole stadium. They sold out the stadium before the stadium was ever built. Have you ever bought a ticket to a performance that has not debuted yet? Have you ever pre purchased a book or a record album or musical album or DVD or CD? Anyone who pre sells anything, is selling the business first and creating second.
