FF #025: How I went from "idea" to 5 clients in 3 days

How I Went From "Idea" To 5 Clients In 3 Days. What's going on {NAME}. Welcome back to Friday Fire where I share one actionable tip, tactic, or strategy to help you build your one-person online bizness. Man I love launching new shid. Had an offer idea on Tuesday... Sent out a validation post on Wednesday... Whipped up a quick G-Doc invitation yesterday and got the first 5 sales at $X,xxx each. Will do a proper launch next week. Today let's take a look at the process I use to do this time and time again. Cmon now... if you know me... you knew this was coming right? 😀 do the thing then talk about the thing. Let's roll. Day #1 - Offer idea. First step is figuring out what you want your offer to be. How do you come up with ideas? My go-to is listening to my audience and customers. They tell me exactly what they want and need. And I make it happen. For the offer I get clear on 3 things: - the niche - the promise - the delivery structure The niche is who the offer is for. This offer is for 9-5ers, freelancers, and marketers. To come up with the promise I answer the question of... "What are we getting done together?" The answer shouldn't be to watch a bunch of videos, go through a course, or get coaching. It should be a tangible, ideally quantifiable result. For this new offer it's to... "Become an Internet Rainmaker and bring in 5-6 figures/yr by using your typing fingers to sell things online." Now of course you want to have proof of your claim. Which I have loads of. Don't be the newbie claiming you're going to "10x someone's bizness" if you've never made a sale before lol. Once I've got the promise? I get clear on delivery structure. This isn't something I share to the public at this stage. It's for my own clarity. Here's the delivery structure for this offer: - access to training courses - access to 2x per month consulting calls - access to private community to ask questions, share wins, and connect with other Rainmakers That's it for day 1. Day #2 - Offer Validation. Before I build any offer, I make sure people want it. I'm trying to answer the question of "do people even want this?" I can use an email and social post to do this. It could be as simple as... "If I put a group together helping [niche] to [achieve promise]... would you be interested?" Usually I keep it short, but went a little longer with this one. I post it on my social channels and send out via email. [Click here to check it out.]( What I'm looking for is comments, replies, and DMs of people interested. Close to 300 people responded to this so I knew there was something here. Which means we can move onto the next step. Day #3a - Chat conversations. At this point I have hundreds of people who raised their hand to get more details. Now I reach out to those handraisers and have conversations through DM and email. What I'm trying to figure out is: - Where they are now - Where they want to be - What have they already tried to go from where they are now to where they want to be - What they dislike about what they’ve tried - Can I help them go from where they are now to where they want to be - What's considered a “win” if we were to work together If I think I can help them... I move onto the next step. Day #3b - Google Doc Invitation. Now that I've got people who are ready to jump in, I write up the details on a Google Doc Invitation. It's called an "invitation" because most people are sold by the time they see the doc. I won't be sharing it here since there's a lot of idiots out there who like to copy/pasta lol. But here's a general framework: - Here's what's happening (start date, who it’s for) - Here's how we do it (your promise and how it solves the current pain) - Here’s what life looks like now vs what it can look like - Here's proof that it works (before/after state of your best clients) - Here's what we'll get done together + future pace - Here's why you haven't solved the pain yet (external/not about them) - Here’s why you should do it now (benefits) - Here’s what you get (features) - Here's the investment + risk reversal - Here's some FAQs (smash objections) + how to get started Once they read through the doc and are sure they want to join? They respond back to me letting me know and we get them setup. 5 people jumped in so far at and more to come once I do a more formal launch next week. === This was the process I used to go from "Idea" to "Validated" to 5 clients in 3 days... using just an email/post, DM convos, and a G-Doc. I've done this like clockwork both on my offers and client offers. Hope this shows you that you don't need a fancy funnel, tech, sales calls, or anything complicated to do it too. Alrighty... That's it for today's Friday Fire action section. Hope you found it useful 🤙 P.S. - if you're interested in the offer mentioned here, reply back with "Rainmaker" and I'll give you more details. Or if you're interested in packaging and selling your own offer using the phoneless conversion process listed in this email, reply back with "Launch" and I'll get you the details on how I can help.

It helped her understand all of the little things I do for her that I thought she was too young to notice. But now she says "thank you" more often, which really brings a smile to my face. I already know that this book is going to help her grow up to be a kind, grateful young lady!!" Thanks again for this book and I hope you can share this message with other mothers like me so they can read it to their kids." - Jenny Now, that's an incredible story! A Mother's Love is certainly one of my favorites, too, because of all the messages I get like this one. Click the button below to take a look inside A Mother's Love: It's about an interesting creature... a lonely Yeti, who's living in the snowy mountains all by herself, hoping for some company... Here goes: "If you're looking for some fun, or maybe even a friend, go up to the mountain to the path's end. There you'll find the Yeti, who lives all alone. She'll make you feel welcome in her snow-covered home. So pack up your gear, go slow and steady, the fun's just begun because the Yeti is ready!" This fun poem is from a new book called The Yeti Is Ready... And it's given my kids a new perspective on friendship & acceptance!" Click the red button below to take a look inside The Yeti Is Ready: You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings. I arrived here yesterday, and my first task is to assure my sister of my welfare and increasing confidence in the success of my undertaking. I am already far north of London, and as I walk in the streets of Petersburgh, I feel a cold northern breeze play upon my cheeks, which braces my nerves and fills me with delight. Do you understand this feeling? This breeze, which has travelled from the regions towards which I am advancing, gives me a foretaste of those icy climes. Inspirited by this wind of promise, my daydreams become more fervent and vivid. I try in vain to be persuaded that the pole is the seat of frost and desolation; it ever presents itself to my imagination as the region of beauty and delight. There, Margaret, the sun is for ever visible, its broad disk just skirting the horizon and diffusing a perpetual splendour. There—for with your leave, my sister, I will put some trust in preceding navigators—there snow and frost are banished; and, sailing over a calm sea, we may be wafted to a land surpassing in wonders and in beauty every region hitherto discovered on the habitable globe. Its productions and features may be without example, as the phenomena of the heavenly bodies undoubtedly are in those undiscovered solitudes. What may not be expected in a country of eternal light? I may there discover the wondrous power which attracts the needle and may regulate a thousand celestial observations that require only this voyage to render their seeming eccentricities consistent for ever. I shall satiate my ardent curiosity with the sight of a part of the world never before visited, and may tread a land never before imprinted by the foot of man. These are my enticements, and they are sufficient to conquer all fear of danger or death and to induce me to commence this laborious voyage with the joy a child feels when he embarks in a little boat, with his holiday mates, on an expedition of discovery up his native river. But supposing all these conjectures to be false, you cannot contest the inestimable benefit which I shall confer on all mankind, to the last generation, by discovering a passage near the pole to those countries, to reach which at present so many months are requisite; or by ascertaining the secret of the magnet, which, if at all possible, can only be effected by an undertaking such as mine. These reflections have dispelled the agitation with which I began my letter, and I feel my heart glow with an enthusiasm which elevates me to heaven, for nothing contributes so much to tranquillise the mind as a steady purpose—a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. This expedition has been the favourite dream of my early years. I have read with ardour the accounts of the various voyages which have been made in the prospect of arriving at the North Pacific Ocean through the seas which surround the pole. You may remember that a history of all the voyages made for purposes of discovery composed the whole of our good Uncle Thomas’ library. My education was neglected, yet I was passionately fond of reading. These volumes were my study day and night, and my familiarity with them increased that regret which I had felt, as a child, on learning that my father’s dying injunction had forbidden my uncle to allow me to embark in a seafaring life. These visions faded when I perused, for the first time, those poets whose effusions entranced my soul and lifted it to heaven. I also became a poet and for one year lived in a paradise of my own creation; I imagined that I also might obtain a niche in the temple where the names of Homer and Shakespeare are consecrated. You are well acquainted with my failure and how heavily I bore the disappointment. But just at that time I inherited the fortune of my cousin, and my thoughts were turned into the channel of their earlier bent. Six years have passed since I resolved on my present undertaking. I can, even now, remember the hour from which I dedicated myself to this great enterprise. I commenced by inuring my body to hardship. I accompanied the whale-fishers on several expeditions to the North Sea; I voluntarily endured cold, famine, thirst, and want of sleep; I often worked harder than the common sailors during the day and devoted my nights to the study of mathematics, the theory of medicine, and those branches of physical science from which a naval adventurer might derive the greatest practical advantage. Twice I actually hired myself as an under-mate in a Greenland whaler, and acquitted myself to admiration. I must own I felt a little proud when my captain offered me the second dignity in the vessel and entreated me to remain with the greatest earnestness, so valuable did he consider my services. And now, Margaret, do I not deserve to accomplish some great purpose? My life might have been passed in ease and luxury, but I preferred glory to every enticement that wealth placed in my path. Oh, that some encouraging voice would answer in the affirmative! My courage and my resolution is firm; but my hopes fluctuate, and my spirits are often depressed. I am about to proceed on a long and difficult voyage, the emergencies of which will demand all my fortitude: I am required not only to raise the spirits of others, but sometimes to sustain my own, when theirs are failing. This is the most favourable period for travelling in Russia. They fly quickly over the snow in their sledges; the motion is pleasant, and, in my opinion, far more agreeable than that of an English stagecoach. The cold is not excessive, if you are wrapped in furs—a dress which I have already adopted, for there is a great difference between walking the deck and remaining seated motionless for hours, when no exercise prevents the blood from actually freezing in your veins. I have no ambition to lose my life on the post-road between St. Petersburgh and Archangel. I shall depart for the latter town in a fortnight or three weeks; and my intention is to hire a ship there, which can easily be done by paying the insurance for the owner, and to engage as many sailors as I think necessary among those who are accustomed to the whale-fishing. I do not intend to sail until the month of June; and when shall I return? Ah, sister, how can I answer this question? If I succeed, many, many months, perhaps years, will pass before you and I may meet. If I fail, you will see me again soon, or never. Farewell, my, excellent Margaret. Heaven shower down blessings on you, and save me, that I may again and again testify my gratitude for all your love and kindness.
