1
The mistake people make is they just say, I do AI.
2
Do you need AI?
3
Yes, you do.
4
Give me $1 ,000 a month.
5
I do AI for you.
6
- Thank you.
7
And then every time you talk to the client, you're just doing custom stuff.
8
which I would say is 90 % of the service businesses out there.
9
Really shitty business to be in because essentially you're just getting paid for your time And most people, if they netted out their actual revenue per time,
10
they're making less than minimum wage.
11
Like, they could work, they could make more cash working at McDonald's.
12
for the amount of time.
13
- So what we want to do is want to productize the offer.
14
So product size offer means You still get paid to do a thing,
15
but you are selling an outcome and the time is invested in a specific outcome.
16
Does that make sense?
17
Getting there?
18
Yeah, so like one is I do AI for you, the other one is a productized service.
19
We want to design a productized service.
20
Okay, that's how you go from - Thank you.
21
What were you doing in Mindset?
22
Fitness in mindset.
23
So you're doing A couple grand in fitness and mindset.
24
and you want to make 10 grand a month in AI?
25
And the problem right now is we've got to design the right offer.
26
So we want to get to 10K a month.
27
Okay.
28
Now, first thing we gotta do some backwards math.
29
Backwards math.
30
Okay?
31
So to get to 10, we gotta sell something.
32
I like to sell things for at least $1 ,000 a month because $1 ,000 a month is enough money
33
where you can you can invest in doing stuff.
34
To make it if you charge a hundred bucks a month, there's not a lot of meat on the bones that makes sense and since we're selling Um...
35
AI services to a business owner
36
like one new client in a month is probably worth a thousand dollars does that make sense So worst case scenario,
37
they're going to get a new client a month, right?
38
So how many clients do we need to get?
39
Good.
40
Public math, you passed.
41
This is very good.
42
10 clients.
43
Okay.
44
- So now we have the target which is 10 clients now we need an offer and Now,
45
The way I like to create offers is ask myself what the market is currently asking for.
46
Okay?
47
So, Is it better to have the best burger in town or be around a bunch of people that are hungry?
48
If you have a lot of people that are hungry, you could have the worst burger and make a lot of money.
49
Most people spend way too much time trying to figure out like some unique creative way It's literally like, "Hey, I'm gonna sell this.
50
Fitness coaching." They'll be like, "Yeah, but there's already a bunch of fitness coaching."
51
The problem is not fitness coaching is getting the right offer in front of the people
52
and presented in a way that sounds unique, but it could still be called fitness coaching.
53
Okay?
54
So we need to figure out what the market's asking for.
55
Right now, have you talked to people that are doing AI?
56
Not really.
57
Okay, if you were if you were like this building is full of people in business, What do you think their biggest bottleneck is around AI in their business?
58
that they're not using it.
59
Okay, that's a good place to start.
60
Um, they're not using it.
61
Okay, and if they were to use it, what do you think they would want to have it do for them?
62
save the time?
63
And do you know what it would need to do to save them time?
64
Thank you.
65
Automate their workflows.
66
Automate their workflows.
67
Yeah, so workflows.
68
Essentially, there's stuff they're doing, some kind of audit, of their calendar, that they're like, "Hey, these things,
69
I need to I don't I got to stop doing these things.
70
Does that make sense?
71
So a productized service can be a calendar audit to identify three workflows that then buy you back 10 hours a week.
72
Does that make sense?
73
Like some people are like, well, that sounds like a service business.
74
No, that's actually an offer.
75
If I sat down and says, "Hey, I can guarantee I can buy back 10 hours of your time."
76
um using ai and you just gotta pay me a thousand dollars a month for the first year
77
and i'll do that every month You know, that's 10 hours a week.
78
But imagine I get you 10 hours a week.
79
That's 40 hours a month.
80
And I do that every month.
81
Is that valuable or not?
82
I would think so.
83
Cool.
84
Well, Then we figure out the offer.
85
The good news is, is we all have this tool called ChatGPT or Clawed or AI.
86
So we all have a tool called AI.
87
Pull out your phone.
88
Because in the past, you'd have to sit there
89
and pay somebody like me to come in here and help you create this.
90
Yeah.
91
Today, everybody has access to the same tool.
92
It's just people forget they have access to the same tool.
93
So what are your three options for the offer?
94
So before I came into here, I had AI jumpstart.
95
So it's a 90 -minute session.
96
Okay of just helping them out with whatever, basically one workflow done by the end of the call or you don't pay.
97
Okay, so 90 minute workflow, yeah, for how much?
98
It was for four $144.
99
144 or 44?
100
- 4" 44".
101
- Okay.
102
Then I had the core offer which was about the 997 And I said it.
103
It was one workflow.
104
per month.
105
You get a dashboard and a personalized AI agents.
106
Yeah.
107
So you got 444 -997, and then?
108
And then I had the 5K a month which is I called the AI ecosystem which is the entire business becomes AI.
109
Perfect.
110
What I love about The offers you just assigned, the 444, which is an initial call and a workflow, and then the 997, which is a monthly,
111
and it gets them how many?
112
I'll-- Dashboard? with their constraint?
113
Yeah gets them A personalized AI agent?
114
Yeah, dashboard.
115
Personalized AI agent and a workflow per month for 997.
116
Yeah, and then 5k gets them deployed to the whole business.
117
Oh Pretty much.
118
Some training for their team, maybe a monthly call.
119
- They get three hours per month with me, and then the 997 gets-- - Okay, let's never sell, well you just said three hours per month with me,
120
Never say three hours per month with me in a sales call.
121
You get three hours of training.
122
- If you guys are training with my team.
123
with my team which is just, Nobody needs to know that.
124
I don't need to know that.
125
And at the end of the day, if you're the one that delivers it, bonus.
126
If you're not, not upset.
127
Most people don't realize people don't buy their time, they buy their standards.
128
If I hire you to do something for me
129
and you say I get you and then I don't get you, I'm upset.
130
But if you say I get your team and I get you, I'm happy.
131
And what I'm really buying is your methodology.
132
That's why it's called a productized service.
133
that is your method for how you do this.
134
Because there's a thousand people that say they can do that.
135
But you're telling me that you have a specific way you do it that's different.
136
You tell me why it's different.
137
That's the offer.
138
Okay, so right off the bat, You say me or my team?
139
Me and my team.
140
Me or my team.
141
- Call me or my team.
142
- Yes, either you're gonna call with me or my team.
143
Cool.
144
You got three options.
145
I'm going to save you a lot of time.
146
We start with this one.
147
And the reason why is that it's easier to go down or up, but we got to get the core.
148
So your core is 997.
149
per month, which is exactly what I said.
150
Beautiful.
151
It's kind of like that's because and this is what the AI told you, but this is literally the best practice, okay?
152
So the offer is one workflow, a dashboard, and an agent.
153
Cool.
154
What I love about those three things, again, nobody's buying those or buying the benefits.
155
So when you design your offer, did you ask it to take that core offer and create the offer like an offer deck?
156
- May and may have, I don't recall what's on it.
157
- Okay, well I would do two things.
158
One, I would do a deck, okay, which is the pitch deck.
159
This is the way you walk somebody through once you get them on a sales call.
160
But then you also have the the offer dock Right.
161
Which is the document that outlines it, because that's what we're going to use when we go over here.
162
So let's assume you took the 997, you asked your AI, "Hey, create me a pitch deck that I can present,
163
also an offer doc that I can use in a chat." If I'm on a call, I wanna present a deck.
164
If I'm on a chat, I can sell in the chat.
165
Most people don't realize that the world is fatigued of having to get on sales calls.
166
Most people buy and know more about what you're selling than you know.
167
So don't make me get on a call to do a whole discovery call if you can just sell me over chat.
168
Big idea.
169
Most people don't realize you can literally make a million dollars a month over chat.
170
Real quick, you've made it to the end.
171
Let me tell you what I know about you.
172
You're not somebody that's looking to do shelf help.
173
You're not somebody that's just doom scrolling on social media.
174
You're here because you want to build, build a real business, and you're sick and tired of not getting the real insights to grow inside your business.
175
So I want to help you avoid all the pain trying to figure this out the hard way like I did it.
176
That's why I put together everything I've ever learned into the scale workbook.
177
It's the internal document that I use with every founder teaching you all of this without burning more hours.
178
It's totally free.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
