Listen For Anik's Expert Approach To Email The cardinal rule for working your email list.

Why you absolutely NEED to use your audience (wherever it is), to build up your email list.

“The one big reason is this; you own your email list. No one can take that away from you, right? You do not own your YouTube audience. You do not own your Facebook audience or any of these platforms, and they can, and many times have taken it away from you”. Singal

A winning strategy for your newsletter content.

“You may not even know we’re in the middle of promoting or getting you revved up for a launch we’re doing, we’re doing it through tremendous values. So I call it the hybrid model, where you’re not saying, ‘today, am I doing content’ or am ‘I doing a pitch email’, I actually love doing a hybrid." Singal

PLUS, What To Do If You’re Starting Out Right Now. Roland asked Anik if he was to start all over again, how would he do it? Anik shared these steps with you.

Step 1: Build An Audience Anik recommends these platforms in order of how powerful they are…1) Email Lists, 2) YouTube, 3) Facebook Groups, 4) Podcasts. He explains why in the episode, so be sure to listen.

Step 2: Get Yourself 1000 Concrete Followers. Singal believes to get those 1000 Concrete followers that you need about 3000 subscribers on YouTube, 4000 In a Facebook group, and 10,000 on an email list.

“Then I just know it; you build the audience, you’ll figure out how to make money.” Singal

Step 3: If you’re building a Software company; “Here’s my advice. Unless you are very technical yourself, if you’re building a software company, your first, most expensive =hire should be a very advanced technical person.”

Plus, You'll Hear The Learning philosophy that has led to his success.

“That’s why you’re not making money because you are sitting back and waiting for you to learn everything. Just started doing. That’s all. It’s literally how I learn everything I do. I just start doing.” Singal

What fuels and motivates Singal (It’s not money).

How Singal came to make a million dollars in his last year of College.

The power of asking great questions.

“My superpower is that I know how to find the right people. And I asked lots of good questions. I’ll never waste anyone’s time.” Singal.

Why you shouldn’t be afraid to ‘fail’.

“It’s okay to fall flat on your face, mess it up first two or three attempts or two or three clients. That’s the best way to learn. There’s no better way.” Singal.

…And so much more!

The Richest People in the world don’t own 100% of their businesses. And neither does Roland. You don't need to own 100% to maintain control of your company.

With an all-too-knowing look, Roland Frasier told his Mastermind, “The biggest risk in bringing on investors is that you lie and get sued. Or you don’t tell the truth and the SEC sends you to jail, AND you get sued, AND you lose your money. Uh, so it’s a really (not) a great thing to do.”

That’s pretty much the worst scenario. But if you’re concerned about losing control of the company you founded - or being kicked out like Steve Jobs with Apple, you’re not alone, and you have good reason to be concerned.

“These are strategies that many people don’t think about. And if you don’t think about it, then bad things can happen because if you think about Steve Jobs, he got thrown out of Apple. George Zimmer, out of Men’s Warehouse, Chip Wilson out of Lulu Lemon, (to name a few) even though they were founders.” Roland Frasier

But in this episode, Roland surprisingly makes a case that will move you forward. You’ll benefit from this ex-lawyers’ perspective.

“There’s just no place to make more money faster than going into those markets”. Roland Frasier.

Did you know,

• Jeff Bezos is worth 110 Billion (and climbing). He only owns 12% of Amazon.

• Warren Buffet has a net worth of $86 Billion but only has 38% of Berkshire Hathaway. • Bill Gates, worth 105 Billion, has a mere 1.3% of Microsoft.

You get the idea.

“So none of these people have a majority interest in their company, but you can control the company, even though you don’t own it.” Roland Frasier.

Listen for, • How to give shares away, but keep control.

• The impact of good legal advice, compared to GREAT legal advice.

Discover The EXACT Strategy Roland Has Used To Found, Acquire, Scale And Sell Over Two Dozen Businesses With Sales Ranging From $3 Million To Just Under $4 Billion!

https://business-lunch.captivate.fm/epic (EPIC Training)

Roland Frasier and Patch Baker went from being strangers to business partners, and they break down that progression in this fascinating episode. You will be inspired and encouraged by Bakers’ story and mindset.

Patch is a renowned investor and serial entrepreneur with multiple ventures and exits. As an expert marketer and thought leader, he impacts Fortune 500 clients to Veteran-owned start-ups, showing them how to lead with tenacity, discipline, and grit.

“I believe that businesses are lives, and you have the responsibility for the livelihoods of the people in your team. Sometimes people call them employees. I only do that on tax records”. Patch Baker

If you don’t know how to ‘get in the room’ that you want to be in (with the smartest people in your industry), this episode will give you ideas, confidence, and insight into how top-notch business minds work.

“You can’t luck into everything. Most of the time, you pay to open doors. And try not to say something stupid when you’re in the room. Get them to know, like, and trust you, just like you would any other customer. Right? And then hopefully you find some common ground where you can meet in the middle, and it’s beneficial to both of you”. Patch Baker

If you’re enjoying the show, you can show your support by heading over to ApplePodcasts and hitting the subscribe button! This will help other smart listeners find us, and we would really appreciate that!

Listen For, What Patch is doing with his ‘9th life’ after many years of service in the Marine Corps and the secret service.

What most people miss when networking and building business relationships.

How to make people ’above you’, your peers.

How to get someone’s attention thoughtfully and not just ‘sucking up to them’.

Ideas if you don’t have the cash to pay to get into the room.

The non-typical business payment structure that Baker uses to acquire equity and ensure happy customers.

Patch’s Winning MINDSET.

“All of my businesses are built on what I learned in the military. So I’m not even trying to win every battle. I’m just trying to win every war that I have, and that war can be hour to hour. It can be day to day. It could be month to month, quarter to quarter, year to year, it doesn’t matter. I just want to win. Winning doesn’t necessarily mean more money. It doesn’t necessarily mean more impact or more people in my network. It can be as simple as just being better tomorrow at something than I am today by a fraction of a percent”. Patch Baker.

Plus, Roland Shares How to guard your time.

“Your time is the most precious thing you have, and it’s very easy to give it away, especially when you want to help people. We all want other people to succeed, but because time is limited, you have to guard it.” Roland Frasier

How to ensure the people you’re helping have the commitment to warrant your time.

Charging a consulting fee “is going to screen out a lot of people who have not got the commitment or resourcefulness or dedication or belief to invest in themselves enough to do it”. Roland Frasier

• What not to do at a Speaker event.

• And more!

In this short, snack-size episode, Roland Frasier shares something near and dear to his heart. How to structure your way to exponential profits, personal protection, maximum flexibility, and smooth exits.

Structure.

Sounds exciting, right? But actually, it is. This episode is your fly-on-the-wall opportunity to hear Roland speaking with his elite Mastermind. Listen for a breakdown of your options, and Roland's expert insight into the inherent advantages of these strategies. He also shares what he would never do based on years of experience, saving you some trouble that you can avoid.

Be sure to subscribe and tune in for our 'sit-down' interview on Wednesday, and we'll have more directly from Roland Frasier, next Monday. If you love the show, head over to our website and sign up for news and exclusive opportunities.

Listen As Roland Explains Why You Might Structure - 1. By Value Cache: Have a different entity for every profit center. • Tangible assets (like real estate or equipment).

• Intangible assets (like tradable copyrights, trademarks, patents, e.t.c).

• Intellectual property (like customer lists, domain names, and trade secrets).

2. By Objective. • To Limit Liability.

"So maybe you want to have different entities, to limit your liability. Anytime we do a new product suite, we do a new entity because I don't want that entity to be potentially liable for anything that might come from the other entities, including employee lawsuits or taxes, or unhappy partners or who knows what…" Roland Frasier.

• To Save Taxes.

Different States and Countries have different taxes. So if you're selling internationally, it makes sense.

• To Maintain Control

• To Be Funding Friendly

• For Favorable Laws

"So there are some places that you can do things that you can't do here, and you have to have a separate entity because if you don't, it all goes down, back up to the parent company here, and it can be a challenge for you." Roland Frasier.

It's essential to think through what kind of entities you might want for different objectives. Listen as Roland explains and gives examples.

Plus, You Will Hear, • How Roland recommends you build in protection and the ability to get creative and splinter your assets for maximum profit.

“I went to crazy lengths and worked insane hours and didn’t sleep and, you know, sacrificed everything for a large period of years to the get the business to where it is.

In this short, snack-size episode, Roland Frasier shares his ‘Pivot Canvas’ to help you brainstorm the smartest ways to grow and pivot.

By running your business through these ideas, you will be able to see if there are opportunities that you are missing or innovations that you can make to the models you already have in place. Listen as Roland explains each strategy and backs it up with successful examples.

Be sure to https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/business-lunch/id1442654104 (subscribe) and tune in for our ‘sit-down’ interview on Wednesday, and we’ll have more directly from Roland Frasier, next Monday.

Roland Frasiers Pivot Canvas Can you… 1. Zoom in like Apple?

2. Zoom out?

“Have one product that is very inclusive, that you can splinter out so that you have lots of separate products”. Roland Frasier

3. Improve your price or performance with new technology?

4. Switch your Sales Platform (between a house product and an affiliate or marketplace)?

5. Change your distribution channel (but not your product)?

6. Value Capture: Is there some kind of revenue model that you haven’t thought about before?

7. Can you change your growth engine? Switch from viral to paid? Or visa versa?

8. Tweak your product to solve a more critical customer need than it’s currently solving?

“There’s a lot of products that started out one way. Post-its would probably be the best example - they were supposed to be inventing a non-breakable bond. And, and they did not succeed. They failed utterly because it wouldn’t stick even to paper. But it turns out that that’s pretty cool. Right?” Roland Frasier

How about you, 9. Adjust your customer segment? Directing the same product to a different customer.

“So we do this with masterminds. We have the https://www.warroommastermind.com/ (War Room Mastermind) for digital marketing and digital businesses. We have Closing Table for Real Estate agents and brokers. We have https://go.reww.com/join (Boardroom) for Real Estate Investors. It’s the same product just going to different segments.” Roland Frasier

And lastly, 10. Consider changing your ‘architecture’ from the high margin, making a lot of money on a low volume, to making a little money on a lot of volume.

In this episode, Roland talks with Nathan Hirsch, the founder of (recently sold) FreeUp, and (the newly launched) Outsource School. They discuss his story, why he wouldn’t do a Drop-Shipping business now, his new Venture with Outsource School, and how he scaled FreeUp from a $5,000 investment to 12 million last year.

“The entire time we acted like the sale wasn’t going to go through. That they were going to pull out at any given time because we didn’t want to get to the end, have them pull out, and have neglected the business for three months. So, it’s tough to do, but we ended up having our best month the month that we were acquired”. Nathan Hirsch

11 years ago, Nathan Hirsch started his first company, Portlight, in his college dorm room, selling textbooks on Amazon. Since then, Nathan has bootstrapped two multimillion-dollar businesses.

Listen For Nathan’s TOP 3 Ways To Scale A Business Up 1. A Partnership program with ‘Content Swaps’. “…Find all the big players in your space that don’t have a competing service and find ways to mutually work together, consistently over time. So you’re constantly getting in front of their community.” Nathan Hirsch
