Hey Dealmaker,

Ever notice how most people go about making money completely backward? 🤔

They’re so focused on the cash that they forget the core of what business is all about: solving problems. You might think you're out there chasing dollars, but if that’s your main goal, you're likely missing the real opportunities.

I just recorded a new episode breaking down how flipping this approach can completely change the way you think about business—and skyrocket your results. Trust me, this one’s going to challenge everything you thought you knew about making money.

4 Thoughts to Kickstart Your Day

  1. Focus on Solving Problems, Not Chasing Dollars: When you center your business around solving problems, the money follows naturally. Focus on value, not the paycheck.

  2. Learn to Listen First: Stop pushing for sales. Start by understanding the problem and presenting your solution as the natural answer. It’s not about what you’re selling; it’s about how you can help.

  3. Shift Your Mindset to Service: People pay for solutions, not products. The more problems you solve, the more money you make. Simple as that.

  4. It’s Not the Formula You Thought: Everyone’s been saying, "Make money and then solve problems." Flip that script. Solve problems first, and the money will come.

4 Lessons Learned

  1. Service Leads to Success: You build long-term relationships and trust by being the one who solves real issues.

  2. Understand Your Client's Pain: Dive deep into what’s really bothering your customers. If you can alleviate that, you’ve already won the sale.

  3. Not Every Sale is a Win: If you’re pushing products without a clear problem in mind, you’re not growing a sustainable business. Target real needs.

  4. Never Assume: Ask questions, understand their struggles, and only then propose a solution. It takes the pressure off and puts you in the driver’s seat.

4 Challenges to Conquer Today

  1. Reach Out to 5 Customers: Have a conversation, not a sales pitch. Learn about their current struggles and see how you can help.

  2. Flip Your Thinking: Look at your business—are you just selling, or are you solving? Identify at least one way to focus more on service.

  3. Audit Your Sales Process: Are you pushing too hard for the sale, or are you listening enough? Slow down and listen—results will come.

  4. Commit to Being a Problem Solver: Write down three ways your product or service solves real problems for people. Then refine your pitch around that.
