00:00:00.000 30 seconds, one time for the underdog, ignition sequence start, let me see you put em up, reach
00:00:09.240 the sky, turn the stars up above, cause it's one time for the underdog, one time for the
00:00:16.220 underdog.
00:00:17.340 I'm Patrick Bede, your host of Value Team, and today we're going to talk about 7 steps
00:00:20.780 to make millions in any industry.
00:00:23.560 I often hear people say, man, if I had Jeff Bezos money, life would be amazing.
00:00:28.580 Man, I wish I was wealthy like Warren Buffett or Bill Gates or Zuck or any of these guys,
00:00:33.560 Elon Musk, I would love to have their kind of money.
00:00:36.160 See, you don't want their money.
00:00:37.720 If there's anything you would want, the right answer is the following, I wish I could figure
00:00:43.120 out how they think and how they process issues.
00:00:45.840 If you had Elon Musk's processor, Warren Buffett's processor, you're going to make money, and
00:00:52.420 by the way, you're actually going to enjoy life even more, cause your processor is what
00:00:56.260 you're going to have for the rest of your life.
00:00:57.520 Money you're going to run out of eventually.
00:00:59.340 Maybe not that kind of money.
00:01:00.760 Look, last week I was doing a podcast, and on the podcast I was asking a very good question.
00:01:05.800 I said, we're going to turn it into an episode.
00:01:07.160 Here's what the question was.
00:01:08.020 Pat, if you had to do it all over again, and you had to get involved in an industry, and
00:01:12.920 it cannot be insurance or financial services because that's what I'm a part of, what industry
00:01:17.640 would you choose to get involved in?
00:01:19.940 This was my answer to him.
00:01:21.440 I said, look, I don't look at industry.
00:01:24.180 I don't care what industry it is.
00:01:25.360 I think we put way too much emphasis into industry.
00:01:28.180 Think about it.
00:01:29.220 Can you imagine if you would have said, imagine I'm doing a video 10 years ago.
00:01:32.600 I think the industry where you can make $60 billion is go try to beat cab drivers.
00:01:37.000 You would laugh at me if I, honestly, would you have not laughed at me if I said that?
00:01:41.100 Go beat taxi drivers.
00:01:42.640 Yellow cab.
00:01:43.700 You're going to build a $60 billion company.
00:01:45.820 You would have said, I'm out of my mind.
00:01:47.580 So it's not the industry.
00:01:48.900 It is not about the sexiness of the industry.
00:01:51.720 It is not about, oh my gosh, it's got to be technology or it's got to be a social media.
00:01:55.220 It's got, no.
00:01:56.320 Any industry, clothes, shoes, Al Bundy, shoes, Zappos, a billion dollar sales, a shoe salesperson
00:02:03.420 is a joke in a series called Al Bundy.
00:02:06.180 Forget about the industry.
00:02:07.560 Here's all it is.
00:02:09.100 This is how you got to think about it.
00:02:10.420 What can I do in any industry, pick any one of them, where the delivery of the product
00:02:16.580 coming to me is condensing time frames.
00:02:20.180 So for instance, we like Uber because if I want a cab, I got to call an 800 number.
00:02:26.480 I got to wait until the operator finds a cab.
00:02:28.920 Then they call them.
00:02:29.940 Then the cab driver either shows up or doesn't.
00:02:32.520 Why?
00:02:33.340 Because maybe he doesn't show up because no one's going to give him a two star or a one
00:02:36.600 star.
00:02:36.920 They don't care about that kind of stuff.
00:02:38.480 But in Uber, boom, condensed time frames, I use Uber.
00:02:41.780 You got Netflix, condensed time frames, I don't need to go to Blockbuster, I don't want
00:02:44.940 to get out of my house, change my clothes, go into public, rent something, decide, Netflix,
00:02:49.920 boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:02:51.920 I'm picking this thing.
00:02:52.860 Everything is about condensing time frames, right?
00:02:54.860 So here's a system for it.
00:02:56.000 I told you I'm going to give you a system.
00:02:57.720 Here's a system for it.
00:02:59.920 Pick an industry you're a part of.
00:03:01.300 Matter of fact, the industry you're a part of right now.
00:03:03.040 Say you've already chosen the industry to be a part of and let's work with you first.
00:03:06.460 First, everybody else, you can apply the same exact thing to someone that hasn't yet chosen
00:03:10.720 the industry yet.
00:03:12.000 And you can apply this to the industries you choose to be a part of.
00:03:14.500 It's actually going to be a very fun exercise.
00:03:16.600 It's a seven step process.
00:03:18.140 Let's go through it.
00:03:19.380 Number one, identify the process.
00:03:23.000 Meaning, process of me ordering a cab.
00:03:25.440 That is a process.
00:03:26.440 Ordering a cab, right?
00:03:28.800 Buying a house.
00:03:30.420 I'm going to identify the process.
00:03:32.180 I want to buy a house.
00:03:33.500 Number two, list the steps of the process.
00:03:37.100 For example, I want to order a cab.
00:03:39.320 What do you do?
00:03:40.120 Call an 800 number.
00:03:41.840 Next, the person is going to find the cab driver.
00:03:45.140 Next, then the cab driver comes to me.
00:03:47.000 Next, then it comes.
00:03:48.400 List.
00:03:49.020 So number one, identify a process.
00:03:50.860 Number two, identify the steps of the process.
00:03:54.280 Number three, here's the magical one.
00:03:56.520 See if you can eliminate which one of these steps on the list.
00:03:59.720 Why?
00:04:00.680 You have no idea how many companies, at one point when they got big, they started hiring
00:04:05.380 all these big resumes.
00:04:06.520 And they hired a guy that came from Harvard or Yale or Princeton to make himself seem very
00:04:11.940 important.
00:04:12.880 They had all these laws and regulations and rules and all this other stuff.
00:04:16.520 And they added this new paperwork that you got to do that's taking so much time that if
00:04:21.480 you eliminate it, you save a bunch of time for your guys or whoever that's doing the
00:04:25.200 business, right?
00:04:26.320 Number four, number four, is minimize one of the steps.
00:04:30.680 What can you do to shorten the timeline on one of the steps?
00:04:33.140 So again, let's go through it again.
00:04:34.800 List the process.
00:04:35.700 Number two, list the steps of a process.
00:04:38.060 Number three, which step on the process can be eliminated?
00:04:41.880 Number four, which of the steps can be shortened?
00:04:45.080 Number five, beta tested in a small market.
00:04:48.420 See how it goes.
00:04:49.640 Number six, after beta testing, come back and revisit and see what adjustments and pivots
00:04:55.200 you can make.
00:04:56.280 Make those adjustments.
00:04:57.520 And number seven, go implement the new process that you've put together.
00:05:01.700 Let me explain what happens with this.
00:05:03.140 This is one of those videos where you watch this, and I would say 5% of people that are
00:05:07.280 watching this, they're going to say, oh my gosh, I just figured this thing out.
00:05:11.440 Let me explain why.
00:05:12.220 I'm not telling you, this is not theory.
00:05:13.700 I'm not reading a book and telling you, oh, this is it, I'm doing this.
00:05:17.760 I run a business and I had a hard time selling five life insurance policies.
00:05:22.200 Let me say it again.
00:05:23.180 I'm in the life insurance business.
00:05:25.820 Life insurance business is the company, that's what I do without a degree.
00:05:30.880 I was having a hard time selling five a month.
00:05:33.500 Last month we sold 3,742 in one single month.
00:05:36.920 Why?
00:05:37.580 Because we constantly, in our company, over and over and over and over again, we go through
00:05:45.100 these processes and meetings, and we say, identify the process.
00:05:50.080 Two, make a list of the steps of this process.
00:05:52.780 Three, which step can be eliminated.
00:05:55.300 Four, which one can be shortened.
00:05:57.460 Five, beta test with this market.
00:05:59.820 Six, let's revisit and see how it went and make some pivots and adjustments.
00:06:03.520 And seven, let's implement.
00:06:05.360 This is what's made me tens of millions of dollars, because this works.
00:06:10.040 This can make you so much money if you use this either into whatever business or industry
00:06:16.160 you choose to be a part of, or the current industry you're a part of.
00:06:19.240 And by the way, for some of you that are saying, Pat, I want to kind of go a little bit deeper
00:06:22.720 into this.
