$100M Offers by Alex Hormozi
Since no amount of marketing can save a bad product. It’s essential to know how to craft an irresistible offer as it’s really hard to market a bad product. Compared to marketing a great product that people will love and feel stupid saying no to.
What product or service do you wish existed?
I wish there was an app that can audit your offer and explain how to improve it.
What product are you obsessively using right now?
I’m obsessed with ChatGPT because I can prompt it with the frameworks I’ve learned and ChatGPT will help me out with output in client work as well.
My team can also use these prompts so now some of the “thinking” part has been removed from my plate.
What are you bullish on?
I’m bullish on AI and productized services.
What are you bearish on?
I’m bearish on traditional education because it’s so slow in adapting to what the market wants.
Traditional education has great principles and practices but the delivery is inefficient.
It seems like the new generation favors creators that they can learn from now and I don’t think traditional education can keep up with the pace.
What’s your favorite Trends Report?
😍 Personal Brands
It’s becoming more apparent now due to a lot of content creators becoming superstars by building strong personal brands.
Whether we know it or not, we have a brand. That brand is our personality.
Naval Ravikant said that in the future there may be 8 billion businesses and I believe it’s true because every person is a brand.

Filling each minute of your schedule can give you a false sense of productivity.
It’s okay to have an empty day where you can sit and think of a bigger picture. There’s nothing “less productive” about saving time and energy to be able to focus on things that truly matter.
