The way income in your industry is distributed is not fair.

The people at the top earn way more than everybody else combined.

Technology is moving all the money to the top of the power law.

For many, many years in the industrial age,

income was shared fairly and there was a bell curve.

But today that's different.

Technology has created a power law that distributes money to the absolute top of every industry.

It's the key people of influence who are making more than ever while everybody else is sitting there looking at them going,

how are they doing it?

Today we're going to explain exactly how they're doing it.

Now, before I share with you those five things,

I want to introduce you to the craziest shape that I ever saw.

I saw this shape 15 years ago and it blew my mind.

And I spent about six months just looking at this shape and trying to figure out how it worked.

So what is this shape?

This is a strange shape.

And the shape is actually income distribution.

And what blew my mind is that essentially there are lots of people who earn,

call it 50 grand to 150 grand.

and that's like the vast majority of people.

But then when we get past this little point up here,

the top 5%, it goes exponential.

Every little percentage jump goes through the roof relative to what most people earn.

So plenty of people in this pointy end of the shape are earning 600,000 a year,

a million a year, 1.5 million a year.

The incomes over here just go absolutely off the chart.

It's absolutely wild to see.

Now, what I discovered is this shape happens in every industry.

You can take almost any industry you can think of

and you'll get the vast majority of people earning something like 50 to 150,000 a year.

And then once you get to that top end of the town,

boom, you get a few people who get exponentially more.

So I became fascinated with this and I wanted to understand what's going on here.

The first insight that I had is that industries are broken up into three categories.

Category one is called newbies and newbies are people who are new to an industry they're still learning,

they're still getting their basic level of skills.

And those newbies are people who are fresh, new and excited.

They've got loads of energy, loads of happiness.

They can't believe their luck to be in this industry.

Essentially, their currency is learning.

And what they're trying to do is get enough skills to get to the next category,

which is to become workers.

And these workers are the people who essentially they're not as happy,

they're not as excited, they kind of know the realities of the industry,

but they've got the skills and they get paid and there's plenty of opportunities for them.

But those opportunities essentially pay something like 50 to 150,000 a year.

And that is the vast majority of people in any industry.

And then at the very top of the industry,

we have the key people of influence.

It's a small group of people who are the most connected,

most well-known personal brands in the industry.

And those people earn exponentially more money.

As I said, this happens in all industries.

Now here's what often happens.

There's this thing called the merry-go-round of distraction.

The merry-go-round of distraction is where a worker bee who is

in industry A sees a key person of influence in industry B.

So they go, oh my goodness,

I want to be that person.

So I'm going to rush over to industry B.

And then what they do is they go from being a worker bee to a newbie in this new industry

and they go, oh, that's terrible.

They work, work, work, work, work, work, work.

And then they end up as a worker bee in industry B.

And they say, oh, that's not what I thought it was.

So they go, oh, I've seen a key person of influence in industry C.

So I'm now going to go and run and do that.

Now I'm back to being a newbie.

And they basically bounce from being a worker bee to a newbie

and a worker bee to a newbie

and they go around the merry-go-round of distraction

and they just essentially they go from this thing to

that thing chasing the bright shiny object they always see the key person of influence doing well

but then the realities of the industry unfold

and it doesn't work out the way that they thought they would right

so that amazing opportunity that they were chasing is actually shielded by an army of newbies

and worker bees who have been attracted to that same opportunity

and i call that the merry-go-round of distraction so what do you do instead well instead of being a merry-go-round of distraction,

you recognize that this is how your industry works and you say,

I'm going to go from being a worker bee to a key person of influence.

I'm going to do the things that make me a key person of influence in the industry that I love.

So you choose an industry that you love.

And once you've chosen an industry that you love,

you figure out how do I become the key person of influence at that.

Now to become the key person of influence in any industry does not require more skills,

the functional skills that got you here and not going to get you there.

To become a key person of influence,

you need five new skills that most people in the industry don't have.

So let's go through the five skills that make you a key person of influence.

Skill number one is a skill called pitching.

Pitching is the ability to enroll people into new ideas.

It's to get people excited about something that they haven't even thought about.

Somebody woke up, they weren't even thinking about this particular idea,

and then they saw Alex Homozy talking about it,

and they went, oh my goodness, I'm interested in that.

They saw Cody Sanchez saying,

wouldn't it be great to buy this kind of business?

And they go, yes, I'm going to buy that kind of business.

So what happened is that that key person of influence pitched them an idea.

100

Being a key person of influence is the journey of a thousand pitches.

101

You are going to have to pitch, pitch, pitch, pitch, pitch.

102

And the person who is the best at pitching is the one who becomes the key person of influence

103

because the people who can pitch,

104

those are the ones that move the needle.

105

Now, how do you pitch?

106

First thing to know is that there's three types of pitches.

107

Pitch number one is called a social pitch.

108

It's the type of pitch that happens on social media or in social settings.

109

It's typically a 30 second to 45 second pitch and it says your name,

110

your same, your fame, your aim and your game, right?

111

There's plenty of things in that social pitch and you get all of

112

that across in a very short space of time and people go,

113

oh, you're up to something,

114

I want to know more.

115

The next one is called a scheduled pitch.

116

Scheduled pitch is where you're meeting someone and you know who they are,

117

they know who you are and you've got something like 15 minutes to two hours

118

and in that 15 minutes to two hours you're going to give a full presentation

119

and it's tailored to that person and your job is to basically take them on a new journey.

120

You want to say you're going to take path A,

121

I'm going to move you to path B.

122

I'm going to get this particular course of action to happen

123

because I've scheduled a pitch and now I'm pitching an idea and now you're going to get excited by the ideas, right?

124

So scheduled pitch.

125

And then the final one is a sales pitch and a sales pitch is about achieving a transaction.

126

So it's either selling someone to actually transact to buy a product or it's selling someone to invest, right?

127

But it's actually a transactional pitch.

128

So these social pitch, schedule pitch, sales pitch.

129

These are the ones that key people of influence use all the time.

130

It's because they can do those types of pitches that they are

131

so valued in their industry because most people in any industry just can't pitch ideas.

132

Now, I believe that you get what you pitch for and you're always pitching.

133

Have you ever met a negative person who's always talking about how bad things are?

134

To me, that's a pitch.

135

They're pitching into existence negativity.

136

They're pitching the bad things into existence.

137

Oh, it's so hard out there.

138

It's so difficult out there.

139

You can probably see it in the comments of some of my videos,

140

people pitching negativity, and then they wonder why everything doesn't work out for them because they pitched it.

141

I believe that you get what you pitch for and you're always pitching.

142

So you've got to be very intentional about the way that you pitch.

143

If you want to be a key person of influence,

144

step one is become great at pitching.

145

Step two is to have published content.

146

Published content means taking your ideas and putting it into the public domain.

147

The word publish means to make public.

148

Publishing could be publishing videos,

149

publishing podcasts or ideally publishing a book.

150

There is a reason that the word author and authority are so closely linked.

151

When you become an author, you become an authority.

152

By publishing your ideas and putting them out there in the public domain,

153

you are sending a signal that you really care about something.

154

It's those who publish who care the most.

155

Putting your ideas into books,

156

reports, social posts, videos, and podcasts is a key to being seen as a key person of influence.

157

Those who publish are those who scale.

158

Now, a key idea for this is prolific beats perfect.

159

Do not try and be a perfectionist.

160

Try and be a directionalist.

161

A directionalist is someone who moves directionally correct with everything that they publish.

162

They just keep publishing, publishing, publishing.

163

Some of it is a home run and scales.

164

Some of it gets brushed under the carpet.

165

That's totally fine.

166

The Beatles wrote something like 400 different songs,

167

and I think only about 30 or 40 of them became number ones,

168

but they're the biggest selling band ever to exist.

169

So you're going to publish some stuff that's world class.

170

You're going to publish some stuff that is a bit cringe.

171

People will see the world class stuff and the cringe stuff never takes off anyway,

172

so it doesn't really matter.

173

Prolific beats perfect.

174

Don't worry about perfection.

175

Worry about direction.

176

Step number three, if you want to be a key person of influence,

177

is we have to free up your time.

178

You can't be selling your time for money as a key person of influence.

179

You have to sell products.

180

There is a reason that you will see all the key people of influence like Stephen Bartlett,

181

Alex Amozzi, Cody Sanchez.

182

They are all out there selling products.

183

They're not selling their time as their primary way of making money.

184

Now, what do we want to do with products?

185

We want to create what we call a product ecosystem.

186

We want four types of products that are really going to give you scale.

187

The first type of product is a free product called a gift,

188

something you can give away freely that people think is great value for free.

189

The next one is called a product for prospects,

190

which is a cheap, easy product that does not require a huge commitment.

191

And the product for prospects is a powerful first step for anyone who wants to work with you.

192

The third product is your core offering.

193

It's the main thing that you do.

194

It's the thing you're known for.

195

It's transformational.

196

It's impressive.

197

It's the flagship product that you do.

198

And the fifth product is called a product for clients.

199

It's the ongoing subscription, the ongoing membership.

200

It's the product that takes people off into the future.

201

So we need all four of these gifts,

202

create attention, product for prospects creates trust,

203

core offerings creates transformation, and product for clients creates relationships over time.

204

So having all four of these products is beneficial for your overall product ecosystem.

205

The main thing is that you do not sell time for money.

206

Income follows assets, and the assets that matter most today are the assets of product creation.

207

Creating a new and hot product is one of the best value assets you'll ever have.

208

It's better than a house,

209

it's better than stocks and shares in somebody else's company.

210

The big money is in product creation.

211

It's typical that a key person of influence is also a product innovator, a product creator.

212

That has to be you.

213

You've got to think through how are you going to engineer a better offer,

214

a better product that already exists.

215

And remember, products and services don't make money.

216

Product and service ecosystems make money.

217

It's not enough to just create one product.

218

You've got to create all four.

219

Step number four is building a profile.

220

The definition of a profile is how you are seen from a distance.

221

So how are you going to be seen from a distance?

222

Well, you're going to be seen using a framework called SALT.

223

SALT stands for social media accounts.

224

You're going to have at least four platforms that you show up on on a regular basis,

225

and those are going to be your big social media accounts that you create and grow.

226

The A stands for awards and associations.

227

You're going to win some awards and you're going to be associated to brands that I've already heard of.

228

L stands for live events.

229

You're going to be a speaker.

230

You're going to host live events.

231

You're going to sponsor live events.

232

You're going to get involved in live events

233

because that's where a lot of action happens when you're a key person of influence.

234

And T stands for third party platforms.

235

You're going to appear on other people's podcasts.

236

You're going to be on other people's platforms.

237

You're going to be invited on traditional media.

238

And all of that is third party platforms.

239

Now, when you have got the social media,

240

the awards and associations, the live events and the third party platforms,

241

people are going to say that person is worth their salt.

242

They've got a big profile.

243

I can discover them.

244

I can easily interact with them.

245

I personally believe that every opportunity stands behind a Google search.

246

It's very unlikely that a big deal would happen without somebody Googling you.

247

So I want you to apply the principle that you are who Google says you are.

248

If I Google your name and nothing comes up,

249

there's a low chance that I would ever do a big deal with you.

250

If I Google your name and it's confusing

251

that there's all these different things you're involved with and I can't really make sense of it,

252

there's a very low chance that I would do business with you.

253

If I Google your name and it's clear to me that you're a key person of influence,

254

that people respect you, that you're known,

255

liked, and trusted, that you've got these four things in place,

256

then there's a very high chance that I want to work with you as a key person of influence.

257

Now, some people hate the idea of being in the spotlight.

258

They say, I do not want to become a narcissist.

259

I don't want to be the type of person who says, look at me.

260

I don't want to be the type of person who shows what I have for breakfast

261

and what car I drive and what gym routine that I've got.

262

And that is totally acceptable and that's totally normal.

263

And I want to let you know that building a profile is not about being in the spotlight.

264

Building a profile is about becoming the spotlight.

265

Your goal is not to say, look at me.

266

It's to say, look at this.

267

You're not saying, check me out.

268

I'm amazing you're saying, check out these ideas.

269

These ideas are amazing.

270

You're also going to get famous by the success of your clients.

271

You're going to put your clients in the spotlight.

272

The goal is not to chase the spotlight.

273

It's to become the spotlight.

274

Step five is partnerships.

275

Partnerships are where you, as a key person of influence,

276

team up with other key people of influence in your industry.

277

This is where you get to access the unbelievable multiplier effect of partnerships.

278

One plus one should equal 11 because if you do great partnerships,

279

it has this incredibly powerful multiplier effect.

280

Your brand with somebody else's product could be a huge product launch.

281

Your distribution with somebody else's product and brand could be a massive partnership.

282

Think about how big businesses work.

283

Nike doesn't try and hire an employee who wins the tennis.

284

They say, let's partner with Serena Williams and let's partner with Walmart and let's create a campaign together.

285

Nespresso doesn't say, let's make our brand as well-known as George Clooney.

286

They say, let's get George Clooney and partner with George Clooney to make our brand as loved and admired as George Clooney.

287

So they're thinking about partnerships.

288

The goal here is to do three types of partnerships.

289

The three types of partnerships is called brand, product, and distribution partnerships.

290

So a brand is someone who is more well-known than you that you can partner with,

291

and it's gonna enhance your brand by being associated with their brand.

292

Product partnerships are going to enhance your product offering by having this product included.

293

So think about how Porsche 911 has a Bose stereo system in the car and has Pirelli tires on the car.

294

That is a product partnership.

295

One product goes with the other product and therefore it's a good fit for a product partnership.

296

And distribution, well, that's all about getting your products and services in front of more people.

297

So imagine for a moment that you did a deal with Walmart to stock your product in every Walmart.

298

Imagine if you did a deal with Virgin Airlines to have your offering included in everything that they do, right?

299

That would be distribution.

300

So you're looking for these three types of partnerships,

301

brand, product, and distribution partnerships.

302

If you can get that right,

303

you can have an amazing uplift effect on your business.

304

But here's the thing, only key people of influence can do partnerships.

305

This is not something you can delegate.

306

It's not something you can pass off to someone else on your team.

307

You as the founder have to drive these partnerships,

308

but if you do, they can be totally transformational.

309

Consider this, somebody woke up this morning with everything

310

that you've ever wanted and they've already got it and they're looking for a partnership.

311

Someone's got the money and they could partner with you as an investor.

312

Someone's got the expertise and they could join your advisory board.

313

Someone's got a million email addresses and they could partner to do an email campaign with you.

314

There are always great partnerships that solve all of your problems.

315

You just need to know how to structure them.

316

Now, you may have doubts as to whether you can do this,

317

and I want to reassure you, you absolutely can.

318

If you've got youth on your side, youth is an asset.

319

If you've got experience on your side, experience is intellectual property.

320

You can absolutely do this.

321

You're standing on a mountain of value,

322

but sometimes when you're standing on a mountain,

323

you're too close to see it for what it is, right?

324

You've got proximity bias.

325

So I want you to trust that you've got something of great value,

326

but you need to explore it through these five Ps,

327

pitching, publishing, product profile, and partnership.

328

And if you go through that,

329

you'll turn a little bit of value into a lot of value that scales.

330
