About this episode

There's a million ways to make a million dollars. So why aren't more people millionaires? 

The simple answer is that they're drowned in too many opportunities — killing their ability to focus. It sounds counterintuitive, but the more business ideas you try, the less you make. 

In this episode, I'm sharing why getting laser-focused on your unique ability is the quickest way to make your first million dollars. 

Here Are The Show Highlights:

  • Why too much opportunity is the #1 reason most people fail (1:48) 
  • The "One Thing A Day" Method that prevents you from bowing down to time vampires so you can move the needle (18:12) 
  • How "Consultive Sales" can help you close more deals (without feeling shady or slimy) (23:13) 
  • Why taking advice from your friends and family will bankrupt you (26:13) 
  • How to print more money than the fed (without thinking up one new idea) (30:15) 
  • Why asking for help is the most powerful thing you can do (even if it makes you feel weak) (44:45) 
  • The counterintuitive reason focusing on passive income will burn you out and keep you broke (54:57)
