I just finished day 5 of the “30 Days to 6 Figures” where I covered crafting reachout scripts.

Watch replays plus get all the worksheets and resources here

Here Is What We Got Done:

- List of 30 people I will reach out to

- Word for word script I will use to reach out

- Calendar tech setup for interviews

- I also began my reach outs tonight after the stream was over

Big Takeaway:

The most important thing with reach outs and deciding what to say is to figure out how to frame the "ask" as a favor. Once I can figure out how to make this mutually beneficial to both parties, getting my ideal client to say yes becomes easy.

I just finished day 4 of the “30 Days to 6 Figures” where I covered Using AI To Research & Find Clients.

Watch replays plus get all the worksheets and resources here

Here Is What We Got Done:

Today I used AI to:

- Identify the specific masterminds & networks my ideal client is in

- Verify that my offer solves a specific problem they have

- Finalize my angle & how I will get them to say yes

Big Takeaway:

Using AI is incredibly powerful. I was able to have it do most of the research for me, including making lists of specific names of clients.

I just finished day 3 of the “30 Days to 6 Figures” where I covered how to get in front of buyers with money.

Watch replays plus get all the worksheets and resources here

Here Is What We Got Done:

After the stream yesterday, I spoke with some people about AI. Not only is what I want to do possible, but they are getting me specific numbers & a case study I can review.

Knowing this gave me confidence to move forward with my hypothesis, so today I:

- Figured out my "identifiable traits" so I know who I need to target

- Determined how I will use The Golden Mic Method

- Outlined potential angle ideas and what information I still need

Big Takeaway:

If I can create a mutually beneficial angle, I can get in touch with just about anyone. But in order to confirm my angle is correct, I need to do some research. Everything needs to be based in data & research. That allows me to create the certainty I need to be able to sell this.

I just finished day 2 of the “30 Days to 6 Figures” where I covered Creating My Strategy & Offer Hypothesis.

Watch replays plus get all the worksheets and resources here

Here Is What We Got Done:

- The price of my offer ($25k-$100k)

- Who my client is (roughly)

- What problem they have

- What skills I will use to solve this

- The result I will get them

Big Takeaway:

In order to know what to work on, I had to create an equation that helped me figure out what things had to happen in order for me to actually make $100k in 30 days.

Once I figure that out, then it was simply a matter of solving for each step of the equation.

In figuring these things out, it became obvious that I had to sell something at a high price, and that I actually don't have to be the one that fulfills my offer.

Over the next 30 days, I am going to attempt to build a 6-figure business using The Golden Mic Method... and LIVE STREAM every day showing what I am doing.

If you are anything like me, you've likely heard that building a business & finding clients is hard. But this isn't true.

If you have the right approach, and know how to sell stuff, anyone (yes even you) can build a 6 figure business.

And I am going to prove it.

Starting today, August 1st, I am going to live every single day for 30 days straight, and build a 6-figure business from scratch.

And I am going to use The Golden Mic Method to do it.

Now, you might be saying "yeah Josh, it's easy for you - you have an audience and offers already."

Don't worry - we've fixed this.

My goal is to make this as close to what it would be like for the average client I teach, so we've added some rules.

Here are the rules:

- I must make $100k in sales

- I must collect at least $25k up front

- I can't sell my current offers

- I can only use a small portion of my email list

- I can't call on any of my celebrity entrepreneur friends (like Dan Henry or Brunson)

Basically, I will

- Create a brand new offer

- Sell to brand new people

- Get them to actually pay me

- And use The Golden Mic Method to do it.

If you want to follow along, get access to all the replays + the worksheets & resources I use to do this - then go here 

Be sure to tune in each day as I build out my offer and share every step with you.

My hope is that you will see what I do, copy me, and use it in your own life to get results!
