$100M Offers: How to Make Offers So Good People Feel Stupid Saying No
M**S
The Big Concept. Even Bigger Delivery.
$100M Offers is an excellent book in more than one way. First of all, I want to scream from the rooftops how amazing the concept of this book itself is.Iām in the book advertising business. Long ago (read: a few years back), I noticed how great an opportunity creating books was for business owners. You can sell the book, let people get to know you and your offer, and give them an incentive to go back for more.Iām an author myself, and I know firsthand how common readers can turn into great customers. Yet, when I tried to explain my concept, very few entrepreneurs got it. And finding an entrepreneur who not only understood it, but implemented it in the right way, is as hard as trying to find a unicorn.Alex Hormonzi is a unicorn, and then some.He didnāt just write a book to lure readers and turn them into customers. He wrote a book, so they could grow their businesses to even qualify as his prospects! This is my concept taken to another level. And the execution was flawless too.No Weak PointsI couldnāt see any CONS of $100M Offers. This book is just great. Short, to the point, yet incredibly meaty.Like very few books I read, it was written with the specific goal in mind and it sticks to this agenda rigidly. The book also reads very well. Itās written in plain English. Itās extremely quotable. And the how-to in the book is pure gold.PROS$100M Offers has many advantages. I will just highlight several points that caught my attention.1. Amazing Business Book.As I said ā pure gold. This book is packed full with so many business tips. Iām a half-time entrepreneur and my business is miniscule. Iām faraway from making $3M to qualify as Alexās prospect. Yet, I learned a lot. Iām in a better position to close the gap between where I am now (a way below $100k) and being prospect-worthy for Alex.And thatās the proof of his idea. Alex published a book. A guy in faraway Poland read it, heard about him, loved his content, and got to know him as a person.Now, I have much better chances to ever make $3M. And Alex increased his chances to get a new client in the future. And he made 33 cents (the Kindle royalties) in the process. šAs a greenhorn, I got the most out of Sections II and III. I got the feeling in which kind of business I am and which type of entrepreneur I am.The most impactful business advice for me? Here:"No one can serve two masters.(ā¦)āāIf you are under $10M per year, niching down will make you more money.āIntellectually, Iāve known for a long time I need to niche down. I was just too lazy to ever try. I like doing many things.But Iām a way below the $10M cap, and I definitely couldāve used more money. Right here, right now.2. Business Philosophy Close to My Heart.Alex is a way better entrepreneur than me. Yet, the principles he teaches are the principles I live by. I guess this is why this book made so much sense for me."Some people get there slowly. But everyone gets there eventually, as long as you donāt give up.āPerseverance is a key to success. And Iām definitely the āgetting there slowlyā guy. I need time to process things. I need time to accommodate to change. But I also never give up. Iām much closer to financial independence now than nine years ago when I published my first book."Entrepreneurship is about acquiring skills, beliefs, and character traits.āAmen. Most people easily grasp a need for acquiring skills. Much fewer understand a necessity to change oneās mindset. But acquiring character traits?! This is something so āout thereā that people just shrug it off.However, this is how you become an entrepreneur and grow as one. 10 years ago, I was an ordinary employee. I never had led even one person in my life. When I realized I need to own a business to reach a lifestyle I desired, I also realized Iām the worst possible material for entrepreneurship. Thus, I decided to work on myself, on my character, not skills. In several months, I started making money outside of my day job for the first time in my life. In several years, I started my own business. Now, my team consists of seven people working for me regularly and a few contractors.I couldnāt made it if I started from acquiring skills.3. Personal Approach.Alex starts his book from a gut-wrenching personal story. While I never experienced such an enormous pressure like him ā I am way too risk-averse to bet everything I own on my business ā I could easily relate. He won me by this story."Entrepreneurship is a crazy rollercoaster. I dipped into my savings to pay my people or business bills all too often. I had business disasters (my blog was hacked; twice) and unexpected business opportunities (people reaching out to me out of the blue to buy my services).āThe author skillfully sprinkled his personal stories throughout the book. They took very little volume of the book, but they are very memorable.I remembered best the one close to the end, when Alex described how he felt, when he finally got over $100,000 in his personal account. Quoting him:"Tens of millions of dollars in the bank later, it was, and still is, the richest I have ever felt in my life.ā4. Money Mindset.Now, there are many experts on business tactics and strategies. There are very few experts on shaping oneās money mindset to earn s*it loads of money."Making s*it loads of money breaks peopleās minds.āPersonally, it breaks my mind to make more than 98% of my country population. I struggle to grow my business because I have āit all.ā I definitely can rub off some abundance mindset from Alex.He very smartly explained why entrepreneurs should charge so much that it hurts. Thanks to $100M Offers Iām slowly stretching my money mindset, charging 2-6 times more than I had charged.5. Excellent Detailed Advice.Have I mentioned the nitty-gritty advice? Just one example:10x to 1/10th test."If my customers paid me 10x my price (or $100,000) what would I provide? If they paid me 1/10th the price and I had to make my product more valuable than it already is, how would I do that?āWow, talking about stretching your mind! And this is just a single exercise out of dozens instanced in the book.6. Amazing Quotes.Alex definitely has the gift of words. Just a sample of powerful quotes from $100M Offers:"Humans suffer a lot. So for us entrepreneurs, endless opportunity abounds.āGreat authors have great ability to describe reality. Drop mic. It also gave me a moment of reflection upon the human condition. This is reality. We suffer. We have always suffered, and always will. Like almost everything, it has bad aspects (hurt) and good ones ā like endless opportunities to alleviate our neighborsā sufferings."The person who needs the exchange less always has the upper hand.āThis helped me realize why Iām still in the business. I always have had an upper hand. I do not care for my prospectsā āyes.ā After a few years, I exactly know with whom I want to work. Definitely, I donāt want to work with authors who cannot trust me."Scarcity is a function of quantity. Urgency is a function of time.āSo succinct. So aptly said. Two greatest sales functions described in a dozen words.SummaryDo you want to grow your company to $3M-$50M? You will not get a better textbook on that subject than $100M Offers. And you will get it for just 99 cents.This is an absolute no-brainer. Itās also the no-brainer for anyone remotely interested in business in general. You cannot get a better education for a smaller fee than this book.

So much more than just a book about business
To be honest this book is more than just a business book and I find the same to be true with a lot of Alex's content. This book will absolutely help you to make a better offer for your business but the lessons you learn in this book can be used in so many other areas of your life as well. If you struggle finding a job give this book a try cause what is an interview other than selling yourself. What if you were the grand slam offer that any company would feel stupid not hiring? Want to accomplish any goal in your life? You will be more successful if you can understand the value equation of your goal. Want to be liked by others? Learn how to give goodwill away for free. I have changed my life more from the advice I have gotten from this book and Alex's content than any other self help or self improvement book I have ever read and honestly it makes me want to be an entrepreneur.
