Have you created a limited-time offer before?


Black Friday sale? Pre-selling your product? An end of year campaign?


Although it sounds like a great idea, be warned...


It’s a double-edged sword.


Done right, a limited-time offer is a massive cash injection into your business that can sustain your dev team without the need for investors.


But cut the wrong way, and you’ll BLEED revenue until your balance sheet is dyed red.


I’ve seen SaaS founders run generous limited-time offers…


...only to have those offers come back to haunt them with the wrong customers, a clogged-up support, and no long-term value generated for their business.


Even when at first everything looked awesome!


So in my latest video, I’ll talk you through HOW to create a limited-time offer the right way. 


If you get this right, it could explode growth for your business, activate those on-the-fence buyers, and lower your CAC, and do all this without any downsides or negative kickbacks.


Let’s go.


The 5 key points I’m digging into for assembling a rock-solid limited-time offer are:

- Know your C.O.G.S.


- Pay more, not less


- Bundle the OUTCOME


- R&D (No- not research and development…)


- Promote the deal


Like everything I talk about, success is not accidental - it’s strategic.


I want to show you that time-limited offers are an excellent idea, provided you assemble them correctly.


What’s your experience?


Have you made an offer in the past that still haunts you today? Or do you feel like you nailed it?


Drop me a comment on the video, I’d love to share war stories.

Real talk:


If you can’t fix a problem in your business in 6 - 8 weeks…


There’s something wrong with how you’re doing it.


I have a system, a 100% repeatable step-by-step strategy, that FLATTENS problems in any business.


“Big call, Dan. Where’s the proof?”

Here it is.


You see, I HAD to develop this strategy.


Because every business I built had its problems, as I’m sure yours does too.


So when I faced problems and we solved them, I worked with my team to figure out what we did that worked.


We mapped it out and tried it on the next problem, and the next.


What emerged was a strategy that I’ve been sharing for years now.


I have a client that recently followed this strategy, step by step, and within 2 months they increased their ROAS by 300%!


Did they get lucky? Learn magic? 


No. They followed the process I’m about to share with you in this weeks video.


Now, whenever red flags are raised in your business, rather than screaming in panic and tearing your hair out…


You’ll have a playbook you can turn to, to shut that problem DOWN.


And get back to scaling your business.


Would love to hear your thoughts on the video. Drop me a comment.

“Why are sales dropping?”, “What do we prioritize next?”, “Should we pivot?”


There is power in a question.


And as a SaaS founder or CEO, you can’t go chasing answers to the wrong questions.


It’s a wild goose chase (and a waste of your time).


So your ability to ask the RIGHT questions will result in growth for your business.


And I have some bad news...


Most founders are asking a lot of “wrong questions” without even knowing it.


I was one of them...


That’s why today, I’m going to show you how to make a powerful mental pivot, just by changing the question you ask.


I call it the “Who, Not How” strategy.


This simple strategy allowed me to go from a burnt-out founder living in Silicon Valley in 2008, scratching my head wondering what I wanted to do…


...to building and exiting a company only 2.5 years later for a multi-million dollar payout.


All because I used the “Who, Not How” strategy.


Let me show you how it works.


This one simple strategy is going to help you to:


- Ask questions that will bring your future aspirations forward


- Scale faster than your competitors


- Build a talented AND loyal team


- Keep your focus sharp


- Take the pressure and focus off of you


Can you guess how this strategy works yet?


I started 5 tech companies, successfully exited 3 of them, and I owe much of my success to being strict with this strategy.


You don’t want this… you NEED this.

Over the last 23 years, I’ve started 5 SaaS businesses and successfully exited 3 of them, making me a millionaire at 27 years old.


I could have retired and never worked another day in my life...


But my 2 boys, Max and Noah, changed that.


When I became a father, my view of the world was immediately different.


I didn’t want to retire.


I wanted to make an impact, to live a life that has meaning by sharing and helping others, to set an example for my kids.


So 5 years ago, I came out from the shadows and started my personal authority brand.


Since I launched DanMartell.com, I’ve published a video on my YouTube channel every single Monday for 5 years.


I have never, ever, ever missed a Monday.


Today I have over 1 million followers across my social accounts and was recently named the #1 SaaS coach in the WORLD.


I could never have achieved that without first building a personal brand… and it was wildly different from starting a SaaS.

If you’ve ever wanted to build authority in your niche, impact more lives and get your product into more hands…


Then building a personal brand with your face and name front-and-center might just be the way.


This is my advice on how to do it, generated from thousands of hours of hard work!


I’ll group the key points of this video into 3 main steps:


1. Education Based Marketing


2. Elite Edification


3. Powerful Platform


Authority branding and a social following are NOT the same thing. Don’t fall into that trap and waste 1000s of hours building a brand you don’t own.


Great authority branding never relies on a single social channel… 


If Zuckerberg shut down Facebook tomorrow, I’d be fine. If Google closed YouTube, well- I’d be heartbroken but my social accounts and email accounts would save my fall.


A well-made authority brand doesn’t rise to the top on a wave of one social account and get dumped by the next. 


It’s much more stable than that.


So if you’re gearing up to put your face and your name out there…


Don’t even START until you’ve watched through this video.


As always, I’m reading the comments. So let me know what you think by dropping a comment.

As a 3x successful business-owner and founder, my biggest fears about having kids were:

1. I would be an absent father
   
   
2. I would accidentally raise entitled kids
   

Those two thoughts made me sweat.


I was terrified.


I was good at business... but what about being a good father?


What if I messed it up?


I thought maybe my obsessive drive meant I shouldn’t ever have children.


Kids aren’t something you can quit if it goes wrong.


So when my wife Renée fell pregnant, it lit a burning need in me to get good at the one thing I felt afraid of.


I NEEDED to be an authentic and present father for my children. I had to get good at this.


I hired the best mentors, coaches and parenting experts, I took the classes, read the books…


I trained. Hard.


And I’m not perfect. Many of my lessons weren’t taught to me from a book, they were learned from mistakes.


But today I’d like to share a new video with the most valuable lessons I can offer you.


Here is how to raise successful kids to be winners.


My kids are the biggest blessing that’s ever happened to me.


I wasn’t expecting it… I was so afraid about not giving them the right life that I never stopped to think about how much love and light they would bring into mine

When Renée got pregnant, we were living in San Francisco and I had just closed a round of $1.6M in funding for my company Clarity.


3 months after the birth of our first son we found out we were having another.


Max and Noah are 11 months apart, and I LOVE my boys with all my heart.


That’s why this video is so important to me.


I’m proud to say I overcame my fears and I am 100% a family man AND an entrepreneur at the same time.


But the only way I got there was by truly living the lessons I discovered and shared in today’s video.


Check it out and drop a comment with your best parenting advice. We all could use it.

I’m super pumped.


Why?


The other day, my life-long buddy Martin asked me:


“Uh, Dan… what exactly is a SaaS?”


I think he was a bit embarrassed to ask.


He knows I’m a SaaS coach and that I’ve been building companies in this business model for 23 years, but he never really understood what that meant.


I began raving about why I freakin’ LOVE the SaaS business model.


...how it’s getting 40% year-on-year growth.


...why valuations are 5x to 10x top-line revenue (while other businesses get as low as 0.7x)


...how the SaaS model makes an average 87% gross margins.


I mean, these are the facts that make any entrepreneur’s jaw drop!


SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) is easily the hottest business model in the 21st century with massive opportunities for growth.


So, for Martin (and anyone else scratching their head), I’m SO PUMPED to show you this new video where I share my love and passion for SaaS.


If you’ve ever been curious about what exactly I do, this video will help.


I coach SaaS founders, the people that start these software companies and turn their ideas into living, breathing businesses.


I help them steer clear of the mistakes that send a SaaS startup to the graveyard…


So they can benefit from this booming, lucrative industry...


And so they are rewarded for their hard work...


As someone that spends every day optimizing this business model, I made this video to share what I love about this industry to anyone in it or outside of it.


It’s like standing at the peak of a mountain and admiring the view.


We are in a fascinating industry.


I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed making it.

Do millionaires think differently about money?


Absolutely.


You don’t build a wealthy life by accident.


And no, I’m not talking about trust fund babies or millionaires that inherited wealth.


They don’t count.


I’m talking about people that grew their net worth with their own hard work.


That kind of success doesn’t come about by chance. And to build a life like that, you’ve got to do an audit on your money beliefs.


If you don’t...harmful beliefs can creep up and poke holes in your financial success when you least expect it.


I’m telling you this because I’ve seen it too many times.


Incredibly capable people, great vision, full of talent. But they’ve got the wrong beliefs and they sabotage their own potential.


I used to be like that too.


As soon as I started doing things right, I’d pull myself back down.


I blamed my circumstances… it was always something or someone else that prevented me from finding success.


...


It took rehab, two failed companies, and a heck of a lot of pain to realize…


It was me.


I had to change.


When I finally took ownership for my life and started to rethink my beliefs around money and success, that’s when things changed… fast.


In today’s video, I want to blow the lid wide open on the beliefs that turned my life around.  


And I’m convinced they’re the key to skyrocketing you past your wealth goals to heights you’ve never even dreamed of.


Here’s my exposé on the money beliefs of the wealthy.


In this video, I’m going to share with you the 5 most important strategies to help you rewire your money beliefs:


- What your #1 investment must be


- How to HAVE money (starting with the $1000 cash rule)


- The bad opportunities that will capsize your cash flow


- Why the slow + compound strategy = better than stupid get rich quick schemes


- The ‘ownership problem’ you must rectify ASAP


- The biggest false belief that holds the non-wealthy back


Even if you think you’ve already got your head screwed on right, all it takes is one of these limiting beliefs to creep in and it will hinder your capacity for wealth.


You must work on yourself.


Your mind.


Your beliefs.


And on the flip side, just think…


If you changed the way you think about money today, you’ll make different decisions tomorrow.


And the next day. And the next.


Add them together and you’ll have a radically different life 3 years from now. This is why I need you to take 10 minutes out of your day, right now, and watch this video.

I love doing hard things,


I learned early in life that the more difficult a challenge, the more rewarding.


So, call me crazy, but I deliberately seek out difficult challenges.


My family motto is “We do hard things”...


And last year, I did one of the most crazy challenges yet. 


I did #75Hard.


It’s a 75-day challenge with ZERO excuses.


2 workouts per day, a strict diet, a gallon of water per day…


And if you slip up even once… 


...you go back to day 1.


NO EXCUSES.


You think you’re training your body...


But really, 75 Hard is like an Ironman for the mind. You’re developing mental toughness. 


And going through that challenge was eye-opening for me!


Now, I’m not going to tell you to join 75 Hard (even though you should!)


But I do want to share with you 5 massive mental shifts that hit me like a ton-of-bricks to the face while in the challenge.


Each one of them will stick with me forever because they’re worth 10x more than the discomfort I faced during the challenge.


I get it...


Physical challenges like this can seem unrelated to the growth of your SaaS.


But as an entrepreneur, a CEO, and a founder - I believe training your mind is where success starts.


Keep your mind sharp. Keep it trained.


It’s up to you to make good decisions even when they’re difficult and lead your company the best you can.


Can you really do that from a place of complacency?


Watch the video and leave a comment telling me which of the 5 mental shifts you know you need the most.

Today I want to share with you how to build an EPIC marriage and avoid divorce.


But wait a second--


How the heck am I qualified enough to talk about this stuff? 


Sure, I’m married… but I’m not a marriage counsellor or a therapist. 


The truth is: I’m not “qualified”. I’m just a guy that has worked through some pretty difficult stuff.


Before my marriage to Renée, I was engaged to another woman.


(Yeah, I bet you weren’t expecting that!)


The whole thing fell apart 2 months before the wedding when she came home, dropped the ring on the table and said.


“I can’t do this anymore”


I thought to myself, “How am I so good at business… but so freakin’ BAD at relationships?”


Something had to change.


Me.


I’ll give you more backstory in today’s video, but these are the 5 tips that I SWEAR by, and that helps make my marriage to Renée the most fulfilling part of my life.


I was never naturally gifted at anything. 


I was the ADHD kid at school that always got in trouble, and no-one was expecting that I would succeed.


My parents divorced when I was a teenager...


Despite feeling like the odds were stacked against me… I decided I was going to become a great partner, a great husband and a great father. 


No-one was going to stop me… ESPECIALLY not my own damn self.


If I became good at business by seeking advice, finding mentors, feeding my brain with books, and always finding ways to improve myself -- then it was time to do the same for relationships.


An epic marriage does NOT happen by chance.


You work for it.


It’s 100% worthwhile, and this video is how I’ve learned to be the best I can.


I’d love to know if these 5 tips resonate with you.


Drop me a comment on the video and let me know.

What if there was a single number you could measure… one number that you focus all of your attention on...


And it would make your business rain revenue like never before?


Well thanks to Sean Ellis, founder of GrowthHackers, I believe I found one


I call it the North Star Metric.


See, after raising $1.6M in funding for my business Clarity.fm...


I began drowning in an ocean of numbers.


I lived in spreadsheets, followed every metric, and kept my finger on the pulse for every shifting digit across the entire company.


We had a good SaaS product. Great tech and a great team.


But I couldn’t find a way to crank up our profits!


I phoned Sean Ellis, frustrated because I couldn’t find the right foothold for growth.


“You’ve got to find your North Star Metric”, he told me.


I had formulas crunching every damn metric you could think of in my spreadsheets…


But a North Star Metric? This one was new.


I called a meeting with my team, and we went straight back to the whiteboard, to decide what would become our North Star Metric.


All of our teams - from support to development, to marketing, to sales - would prioritize their goals around it.


One number.


To today, I still thank Sean Ellis for opening my eyes to our North Star Metric… Because shortly after that, business TOOK OFF.


Like… KA-BOOM. 


Now I’d like to pay it forward in today’s video. 


This, my friends, is how you find and calculate your own North Star Metric… and why it’s the one number that’ll save your business every time.


A North Star Metric is not like other metrics you measure... It’s unique to YOUR business.


To prove this point, in this video I’ll share with you the individual North Star Metrics for:


- Airbnb


- Facebook


- Quora


- Slate


- Salesforce


- Adobe


It’s only 9 minutes. Play the video here, and let me know in the comments:


What are you going to make your north star metric?
