  • People Keep Telling Me To Shut Up In Restaurants

    http://www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin
    I had a very important conversation with a friend in a restaurant and the situation required me to raise my voice. Then, people in the restaurant started complaining about me yelling in a public place like this. I got really embarrassed.
    We are raised in a community where everyone are thought that if they do not listen to what other people say they will get banned. But, I decided to be the opposite and be very loud when the situation requires that.
    People may get annoyed because they cannot accept that someone does not behave exactly like how they have been raised to behave.
    There are countries like Germany and Japan where people do not want to cause disturb anyone. These people cannot make it on sales calls because that requires some knowledge on how to use your voice according to the situation.
    It’s really bad to have this conditioning where you are always quiet and you do not know how to express yourself.
    You can live your life where you are not constantly limited in what you say or how you say it and who you say it to.
    If you do something interesting, people will say that it is dangerous. But, if you live your life just slightly outside of that, it’s much more interesting and better things can happen to you.
    If you want to be a good sales person you need to build a depth of expression. People will respect and understand you more.
    The most important thing is to adapt to the situation and to know what your end goal is.
    You will be able to differentiate from the crowd if you can answer this simple question: “What will it take for you to wake up and make this part of your life awesome?”
    Some people have a high need to do what they want to do and make their own decisions.
    One of the best ways to escape this cage of going to a job every single day is to learn sales.
    You have to learn how to use your voice and control your tonality and many other skills that are required to succeed in business. If you want to live life on your terms, you have to learn sales and start a business.

  • How To Successfully Get Others To Do The Sales For You
    How to successfully get others to do sales for you...
    And perform better than you.
    “Want to connect on Facebook? Add me on Facebook:
    http://www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin
    Most successful businesses rely on sales. If you hire the right sales people, your business can grow dramatically. In the best situation you can hire someone better than you who can take that part of your business and you do not have to deal with that at all.
    Many business owners do sales because they want to save some money, but at some point you may want to outsource that part of your business to someone else. Otherwise, you will have a hard time scaling your business, because it eats up a lot from your life.
    You have to find very competent people who can do sales for you. They represent your company and it is a very responsible position that you have to fill in.
    The major issue you are dealing with is that good sales people usually want to start their own business.
    If the sales guy promises the wrong things or does a bad job selling your services, you will get out of business really fast.
    Good sales people tend to live life on the edge. Keeping them stable on a nice performance level is an art and a science.
    The people who tend to over promise and under deliver in their personal lives. As a result they continue to do the same thing on sales call as well.
    What you are looking for in a sales person is 100% commitment. They have to be 100% focused on closing the sale. You are looking for people who want to improve their skills and have set clear goals in their lives.
    It is not easy to find this type of a person, but if you do it, you will be able to scale really fast.
    They need to have confidence in their abilities to do the job. They need to show their confidence in front of the client. If the client does not see that, he is not going to buy and we will lose the sale.
    Don’t hire sales people quickly. Sales guys have to be hired through a process. They need to feel like they have earned it.
    Don’t hire them on the first call. Make a few calls with them, see how they perform and based on their performance you can decide whether they are a good fit for you or not.

  • How To Make Decisions Like A Millionaire
    How to make decisions like a millionaire.
    I used to justify failure.
    I had this amazing method to justify, prolong and repeat failure... DONT DO THIS:
    “Want to connect on Facebook? Add me on Facebook:
    http://www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin
    Making important decisions is one of the most important skills that successful business owners and entrepreneurs have. Today, you are going to find out how to learn these skills. You are also going to find out how to avoid the possible mistake you may face.
    I will share a method that made me fail a number of times. That is a professional method to justify failure and keep failing without learning anything.
    I wanted to do something useful but only to the point that it was easy. I did not want to discover new things. That is the kind of excuses people make because they do not want to deal with the important stuff in their lives.
    I had a girlfriend and stayed with her for a long time only because I did not want to go through the hustle of finding a new girlfriend. That is how most people behave every day which is very terrifying.
    Here is my solution…
    People do the things that are easy and seem useful, but that is just fear and that is how they avoid to do the important stuff. Most people know that they can do better, but they also take the easy way out, by making excuses.
    You cannot tell people that what they are doing is wrong because they will get offended. They need to discover that by themselves.
    The biggest mistake people make is hiding from the important decisions in their life. If they do not discover their mistakes, they will continue to do the same mistakes over and over again.
    Entrepreneurs do not have that problem because they have a different way of thinking. Entrepreneurs are people who change stuff for the better.
    As an entrepreneur you are the person who determines where your life will go, who you hang out with.
    Most people can’t do any work for longer than few hours a day, cannot concentrate, watch social media and TV all day long.
    Entrepreneurs cannot afford to do that, because otherwise they will starve to death.
    The world needs more entrepreneurs – people who take full personal responsibilities for themselves and make people’s lives better.
    Business is not that risky as most people say. That is why many years ago I decided to create this online community where we teach how to do proper sales, lead generation and how to be around people with the same mindset like you.

  • How To Build A Business That Helps The World VS How to MAKE THE MOST MONEY AND CLOSE THEM ALL
    How to build a business that helps the world...
    VS
    How to MAKE THE MOST MONEY AND CLOSE THEM ALL
    “Want to connect on Facebook? Add me on Facebook:
    http://www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin
    Building a business that helps the world vs focusing on getting the most amount of money as possibly can? Which one would you choose?
    The real answer is somewhere in between.
    If your business is focused just on helping people and providing value to the world, you will fail.
    You have to focus on cash and charge more money because you are offering a very valuable service. The more money you charge, the more your clients will value your service.
    If you don’t sell for a lot of money, you will get out of business. That’s the real truth.
    There are so many people who sell stuff for a few hundred dollars. That is not a business. They are just cheap freelancers who are trying to make a living.
    Business is hard. You are going to have to suffer to succeed in business. You have to deal with employees who quit their job every few months. There are competitors all around you and you have to out compete them.
    It’s time for you to stop being a content creator and start hiring people who can build your business. You cannot be the guy who provides the content all the time.
    Figure out why you want to build a real business instead of being a bartender in a club or a restaurant. You have to know the “why” in your business. The reason that you have to start a business needs to be a very strong one. Things like buying an IPhone and paying rent are not a real reason to build a business.
    You also need to have a reason that is outside of money that motivates you to do what you are doing.
    Having the right reason to start a business will help you learn new skills and contribute to the world while earning money at the same time. That combination is very hard to develop.
    If you have not found your reason why you want to start a business, I would recommend you join a mastermind where you can hang out with people with the same interests as you. Those people will help you find motivation and a reason to do it.
    We have an incredible community of entrepreneurs where we help each other and talk about business. We are going to open new spots in our mastermind Daily Business Hustle very soon and we can help you find your purpose in life.

  • How To Hire Super Cheap Copywriters And Traffic Experts
    How to hire super cheap copywriters and traffic "experts"...
    The secrets 20 million dollar business owners don't want you to know...
    (Because this how they're so damn profitable)
    “Want to connect on Facebook? Add me on Facebook:
    http://www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin
    Today you will find out how 20 million dollar companies get $10 an hour employees. These successful companies get a very good profit working with their employees while many business owners have to pay a lot of money for a very simple job.
    This video is for people who are interested in hiring people and scaling their business.
    Most business owners pretend that they are working with people for $10 an hour and in fact that is not really the case. This is a very good trick to lower the price of the freelancer. Freelancers are usually very bad at sales and are afraid that they will lose the sale.
    Business owners are looking for people from countries where the quality of life is low and that allows them to find someone who can work for $5 an hour. Usually these are people who want to work from their home.
    This is a very good way of finding someone who can work for you for extremely low price. Even if the person does not have the skills, it is still worth it to put in the time to train this guy, because he can do the job with the same quality as you.
    The more people you hire, the more work you can outsource. Then, you can focus on sales and make way more money. Everyone wins. Your employees get good money and learn new skills while you are working on your business.
    On the other hand, there are business owners who don’t know anything about tech. They only know how to negotiate and hire people.
    The best clients that you want to work with are the ones who don’t want to deal with that part of their business and that do not understand it at all. Focus on the clients that do not have knowledge about the subject they are hiring. It is very easy to provide value to these people.
    The best employees to work with are the ones who want to work with you at a very low price for a very long period of time.
    Here are 3 great tips for hiring the best people:
    • Have a recruitment funnel
    • Have a training funnel
    You can sell the services of your employees for $10K or more and make a huge profit out of that. That is a very good way to build a profitable business.
    There are not many freelancers that know what they are doing. If you provide value and deliver results, you will get a lot of referrals from your clients.
    Clients under $1K tend to be very low quality. Clients above $5K tend to be serious business owners. They have a good funnel and know what they are doing.

  • How To Sell To 30 People And Make More Money Than Selling To 30000 People
    How to sell to 30 people and make more money than selling to 30000 people...
    Why competition doesn't really matter...
    And how to crush the "big players" who you're "competing" against...
    “Want to connect on facebook? Add me on Facebook:
    http://www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin
    You will find out how to make more money just by selling to a few people. It does not matter whether you are selling to the big market or not. Your profit will not be affected by that.
    Some people prefer to target a very specific audience. Others go for the big market. The right answer is not that obvious.
    Many people sell random stuff to anyone who listens to them.
    You have to do your market research before you make your choice. Figure out who your best buyers are.
    The earlier you figure that out, the better your life will be both in business and in general.
    In the beginning you should focus on the small market. You are not going to have portfolio as a beginner. It makes much more sense to make your portfolio working for a small client.
    Moreover, you will not be able to compete with people who are in your space for a few years. They have cheap employees and have simplified their working process.
    If you enter a very specific niche, you will increase your chances to get high quality clients. Very few people know how to market properly in a very targeted niche. Just by being the one guy who knows how to do that, you can beat everyone else.
    Big guys usually have very automated processes. They are focused on selling the product. That is the most important thing to them. They do not deliver results.
    You can increase your conversion rate by being super targeted in your niche. You will have hard times competing in the video editing and production space. But, if you say that you create explainer videos to medical companies, your chances of being hired for the project will increase dramatically.
    After you see what works and what does not, you can start standardizing the offer just like the big players are doing it.
    That way you will take a small part of the market and be one of the biggest guys in that space.
    Big players are stuck in the old way of doing things. They are completely focused on the one thing that works for them and do not change it at any cost. These people are not willing to innovate. They will become irrelevant within a matter of years.
    Don’t go for the big market until you are absolutely sure that you are crushing the tiny niche that you are in. Once you have standardized your offer and have a system that works, you can start selling in the big market.
    I see people in our mastermind Daily Business Hustle how guys who are selling to 30 people make more than people selling to 300 people.
    You will get a lot of other offers, but do not deal with them. Once you have found your niche and built relationships with your clients in that niche, keep selling to them and do not deal with other clients.
    That is how you can make a lot of money in business.

    Vlad joined the Daily Business Hustle 6 months ago and that literally changed his life for the better.
    Before DBH Vlad was a student in university. He was not able to pay even his rent. He did not have a job at the time and was just freelancing online. Vlad did not want to go to a job, because he would have wasted 8 hours of his day.
    Joining DBH was a crucial point in his life. He was able to step up on his feet and move on with his life. He is now living on his own terms.
    Vlad is running a Facebook marketing business. He is focused on a very specific niche. Vlad knows who the ideal customers are, how much money they have to make and if they can afford his services.
    His clients have 6 – 7 figure businesses and they are people who are easy to work with. Vlad ranked someone top 10 in the world on Amazon best selling list.
    Vlad does not have to do much marketing anymore. He relies a lot on referrals. He delivers awesome service to his clients and as a result they refer him to other people.
    Vlad knows how to treat clients to get massive referrals. He makes sure that his clients get really great results.
    He has selected an industry that he knows he can deliver results. Because of the quality his work people are referring him to even their competitors.
    Vlad is being in business for 6 months and is inventing a way for people to get ranked higher. He is not just doing Facebook ads. He is trying to understand the whole algorithm of how his clients’ business work and come up with new ideas.
    The main purpose is how to improve your service and as a result to get your clients on the top and repeat that over and over.
    Here are a few very important things you need to do if you want to get results in business:

    • You have to follow the process and get new clients.
    • You have to be very confident in your services and make sure that the client gets results.

  • Alvaro Just Had His First $17500 Month After Going Rogue In Colombia
    Alvaro just had his first $17500 month after going rogue in Colombia...
    He was making $3/hour before
    “Want to connect on Facebook? Add me on Facebook:
    http://www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin
    Alvaro made $17 500 in a single month while the average salary in his country is $400 a month. Alvaro is now able to enjoy his life and have a pretty good lifestyle.
    Alvaro was living in his parents’ basement for a few months and trying to run his business, but things did not work out really well there. He was forced to move to Barcelona where he sacrificed many Friday nights in order to run his business properly.
    The main reason that helped Alvaro get out of this bad situation was joining the Daily Business Hustle, meeting Aleks and the member in his mastermind who showed him how he can make a real business. He started working as an Aleks’ assistant for $4 an hour. This was really good money for a college student in Peru.
    Alvaro was also inspired by the results other mastermind members were getting and he wanted to get some of their success.
    Alvaro delivers a great service and as a result gets a lot of referrals.
    Alvaro started taking the calls of the mastermind teachers more seriously. Every time he goes through the course he sees his mistakes and tries to fix them on the next call. As a result his sales skills improved a lot.
    Moreover, improved his profile with really good copy and he has a really awesome portfolio. His profile is full of legit testimonials.
    Reaching out to client from time to time is always a good strategy, because they see that you are active and ready to deliver. That increases your chances of getting new referrals.
    As a result of Alvaro’s financial wealth, he is able to travel the world and visit a great number of new places. He can also work from wherever he wants which is a great advantage of his business.
    The biggest mistake Alvaro made is spending $1K like an idiot.
    Alvaro has an agency that sells Shopify stores to companies.
    It is not about what you sell. It is about the funnel, the process, the people you are working with.
    Make sure your project delivery is top notch. You want to make this client come back to you over and over again. What is more, if the client is satisfied with your services, he will be more than happy to refer you to other clients.
    Make sure you have a solid sales process. It does not matter how good your portfolio is or how qualified leads you have if you do not have a good sales process.
    Never stop looking for new leads.
    Don’t spend all of your net profit on your lifestyle. That is one of the worst things you can do with your money. Invest it in your business, grow the business and keep making more money.
    If you live in developing countries, sell your service locally.
    If you live in a relatively poor country with no potential of growing and you have good English speaking skills, sell your service to English speaking countries like USA, Canada, UK. The people from these countries have more money and will value your services more.

  • Should You Go To College To Learn Business
    “Want to connect on Facebook? Add me on Facebook:
    http://www.facebook.com/aleksander.vitkin
    Today, you are going to learn whether it is worth to go to college or not. Who should go to college and why?
    We are going to compare the old way of learning vs the new way of learning stuff.
    There are just a few professions that require a degree like a lawyer and a doctor. Most professions don’t require a degree. You can learn them on your own.
    90% of the stuff that I talk about as a business owner has nothing to do with the stuff that I studied at university. Everything that I have learned is from my mentors and doing business. Does that mean that university is absolutely useless?
    The teachers in university teach based on books. They give you a bunch of books to read and you have no idea what is actually happening in the real world.
    Even if you study for a business degree in college, you have no chance to succeed in business without any extra help outside of college.
    If you want to get results in business, you have to focus 90% on implementation and 10% on theory.
    Universities offer a whole different environment of doing business. First of all, you have to get experience for a few years and only then you can dive into the real world and start a business.
    On the other hand, you can choose the second option and start a business almost immediately. You can hire people who have learned all that. You can pay people who have learned the theory, you can pay people who have good grades.
    You can pay people who have done all that hard work while you did a different type of hard work that is higher leverage. That is learning sales and real world business skills. There is no way you can learn these skills in college.
    The first and most important thing you need to learn to start a business is sales. Those sales can bring you some money which you can use to hire people who can take care of the delivery of the projects.
    There are people with no magical education who are not that smart. However, they are able to close deals for thousands of dollars because they have mastered the most important skill in business – Sales.
    I have a friend who owns a restaurant and he finds people from other restaurants who can introduce the processes that work in his small business.
    His skill is more valuable. He is the one taking the risk. He is the one who pays the salaries and he is the one who will go out of business if something fails while the other people can find another job.
    If you are going to study business, do it outside of college. Hire the cheap degree people who do the work for you.
    You are going to get out of college with very small amount of knowledge to start a business. The skills that you learn in college are too general and it is hard to apply them in the real world.

  • How Lucas Went From Being Broke To Making $12K Per Month
    “Want to connect on Facebook? Add me on Facebook:

    In this podcast we are going to share with you how Lucas went from being broke to someone who is in full control of his business and making $12K in profit per month.
    Lucas needed to work as a bartender and other side jobs making $1.5K per month. He was also in sales and cold calling to support his income. Lucas was trying to find the right balance between being a bartender and having a small business on the side.
    Back then Lucas did not have any idea how to start and grow a business and cannot imagine being in the situation he is right now.
    Lucas is running an animation video business. He is able to charge between $3K and $6K per video. Moreover, this is a business that has huge potential, because video is a very important part for every business nowadays.
    Lucas joined the Daily Business Hustle mastermind. This is the main reason that made Lucas build a very profitable business. He knew that if he wants to increase his income, he has to get out of his comfort zone and do something totally different.
    Lucas got a lot of very valuable tips from the people in the mastermind. DBH gives you a very detailed step by step proven business model that you have to follow if you want to build a business.
    There are very important things that the teachers in the mastermind teach like:
    • How to build a funnel.
    • How to optimize a funnel.
    • How to outsource the work.
    His business is completely automated right now. He is responsible only for making the sale. Lucas has a project manager, copywriter, animators and there is very good communication in his team. Sometimes, he does not even know that a specific video is made from his team.
    The first step in automating the business is outsourcing the production. Now, he is in step 2, which is outsourcing the sales process.
    Lucas is not that excited running his business right now, because he still has to put a lot of hard work to make the business run successfully. But, after he reaches a certain level, he will be able to have more opportunities to go on vacations, because the business will be able to run by itself.
    Lucas is getting a lot of his leads from LinkedIn. Every day he has leads coming into his funnel and he even does not enough time to follow all of them. That is why he is in need of new people to join his team.
    If he manages to find sales people who are a great fit for the LinkedIn funnel, he will have more time to focus on another funnel, because everything will automated.
    Lucas have implemented and improved the Daily Business Hustle LinkedIn funnel and he is now looking to implement the hiring lead generation process.
    Then, the next step is hiring and trading sales people.
