Main Strategies and Key Insights

  1. Pitch Ideas to Groups, Not Individuals

    • Shift from one-on-one pitching to addressing groups of 50–250 people minimum.
    • Speaking to a group is equivalent to a year’s worth of networking in one event.
    • Be opinionated and clear in your messaging; avoid vague phrases like “it depends.”
    • Aim to align groups around new ideas and actions.
    • Prepare to answer the why, how, who, and when of your core idea or action.

  2. Create and Publish Intellectual Property as digital assets

    • Convert your ideas and opinions into scalable digital content such as videos, podcasts, blogs, tweets, books, slide decks, diagrams, and case studies.
    • digital assets transcend time, space, and wear, alloWing your message to reach a global audience continuously.
    • Publishing consistently creates multiple touchpoints for your audience.

  3. Build Trust and Relationships Using Dunbar’s Number and the 11-Touchpoint Journey

    • Dunbar’s Number explains human social capacity:
      • 5 family
      • 15 close friends
      • 50 close friends
      • 150 friends
      • 500 acquaintances
      • 1,500 people who recognize you
    • To have a lifestyle business, you need to be known and trusted by about 5,000 to 10,000 people.
    • Google research shows buyers typically have 11 touchpoints before purchasing.
    • Aim for a “7-11-4” formula:
      • 7 hours of content
      • 11 strong interactions
      • Across 4 platforms
    • Deep engagement online (running down the “rabbit hole” of your content) builds familiarity and trust.

  4. Attract Money Through a business ecosystem

    • Be the “Eiffel Tower” of your business ecosystem—an iconic figure that draws people in.
    • Build a product and service ecosystem that goes beyond your core skill (e.g., if you bake pizza, also bring Wine to the table).
    • Partner with others who can complement your offerings (e.g., copywriters, marketers).
    • Understand that your role is to bring value that customers want, not just what you do.

  5. Become Known, Liked, and Trusted Across Multiple Platforms and Through Partnerships

    • Ensure your digital presence covers the “big five” social media platforms (even if inactive on some, have a presence).
    • Win awards or certifications to shortcut credibility.
    • Speak regularly on stages to gain exposure and become the spotlight for your ideas.
    • Partner with other KPIs to access their audiences, resources, and credibility.
    • Form advisory boards with experts (e.g., MBA holders, investors) to gain instant credibility and resources.
    • Use brand-product-distribution partnerships to create campaigns that elevate your brand and reach.
