In this episode, I share my "Bulls Eye Method". Designed to improve the success rate of marketing campaigns, product launches, and business initiatives. The method emphasizes the importance of embracing failure as a natural part of the process, recognizing that most attempts—whether it's an ad, a landing page, or a new product—are likely to fail. By understanding this, entrepreneurs can shift their focus to testing multiple ideas quickly and efficiently, rather than investing excessive time and resources into a single unproven concept. The goal is to identify the few winners among many attempts and then double down on those successful strategies.

By applying the Bulls Eye Method across different aspects of their business, from marketing to product development, entrepreneurs can increase their chances of success by rapidly iterating and refining their ideas. The overall message is to embrace speed, testing, and adaptability to achieve better results in business.

What does the perfect environment look like to become a millionaire? And what exactly does it take to become successful and Live The Red Life? 

Rudy is hard at work creating his ideal work environment, so this is a great time for us to tap into his mind and see how he creates new space for his ambitions.

If you want to be a great stockbroker, you're probably going to want to live in New York at some stage in your career. Likewise, if you want to break into Hollywood, you're going to go where films and TV are being produced and rub shoulders with the rich and famous.

Rudy is busy relocating, growing his empire as he serves his wealthy clients, and starts shaking things up in other new and exciting industries than those that he is accustomed to. 

There's a sacrifice and discipline that is to be applauded here, and we can apply these lessons ourselves too as we understand that context is king, and that nothing happens in a vacuum. 

If we want to live in Wonderland, we must be prepared to create it for ourselves. Please join us.

"If you want to become a millionaire you've gotta build that right environment." ~ Rudy Mawer

What are some of the secrets to building a highly successful, highly-functioning sales team? The Red Life team is coming out the gates strong in today's ambitious episode, as Rudy gets interviewed by Chris Spearman, a friend of Rudy's with vast experience in sales as a closer who has joined Life in Wonderland.

Most big companies that earn millions have a high-ticket sales team. As you look to onboard new sales staff, are you asking to see their pay stubs and not just taking their word that they've had back-to-back bumper months at their previous job?

What is their motivation for joining your team, should you hire an agency to assist with the hiring process, and how are you creating the right culture in your sales team? These are just some of the rapid-fire questions Rudy is answering from Chris as he impresses upon the importance of having high standards and that it is also a numbers game. 

For example, when it comes to sales, Rudy reckons to hire double what you need at first. Okay, more great advice to get your own 'Wolf Of Wall Street' sales-hungry wolf pack awaits inside the gates of Wonderland. Come on in.

Why is it that some experts are broke as entrepreneurs? And why does it seem as though a lot of stupid people are the ones getting rich? Understanding what it takes to influence and create an impact in this online world takes more than just being an expert in your field. 

It takes the ability to know when to collaborate with someone who may be smarter than you at marketing. It takes introspection to know when it's time to learn the basics of another industry so that you can apply your skills there. 

In the battle of expert versus influencer, Rudy is showing us the way forward in terms of collaboration, as well as individual pursuit, by drawing on his years of experience thinking outside the box and knowing that sometimes to get to that level of 'expert' will just take too damn long. 

Whether you are an aspiring influencer or expert, you need each other. And you, personally, always need to be looking to improve your skillset in the areas in which you aren't that strong. How you do that is today's red-hot topic. Welcome to Wonderland. Let's get busy Red Life Living!

How do I make money with my coaching skills - and impact the world? Dawna is ‘the coach's coach’ and helps people with the right knowledge, expertise, and passion translate their coaching skills to the online world where people are absolutely killing it these days. 

She built a $200 million dollar tech company and was enjoying all 30 days of her retirement before speaking engagements fast-tracked a new career for her in coaching. 

Dawnna is sharing her coaching insights with our Man in Red today and offering advice that could help you see if you have what it takes to make it in the world of online coaching. 

It's about understanding your expertise and then defining the value of that expertise. 

There's a difference between your tools, your talents, and your actual expertise and skills. Selling your talent is not a scalable business model. So understanding what is a tool and what is a talent will go a long way towards helping you market your expertise effectively. 

Turning what you do well into a methodology is what leads to a sustainable online coaching business. And that's the game changer. Let's get busy Red Life Living!

Do you want to coach people that get $15K when you make an impact for them, or do you want to coach plumbers that earn $200 when they get a new client? That's the question entrepreneur Greg Luther asked himself when he became a sales and marketing coach for real estate agents.

Greg is now pulling in million-dollar months with a super high net profit margin through his 100% virtual company coaching real estate agents. Our Man in Red Rudy Mawer is pinning Greg down on the secrets of his premier avatar, and the balance between sales, marketing, and having the right product (or coaching service). 

It's an ever-expanding triangle as Rudy points out. But that's how you get richer, and how feeling busy still feels fun when your vision is aligned with your day-to-day hustle. 

Greg's insights into his virtual operation are super valuable, as is Rudy's business acumen in elucidating exactly what Greg is getting right to bring in the big money months – so the rest of us can hopefully follow suit. This is Wonderland, come on in!

There are plenty of millionaires out there already (google it!) and they're not as smart as you. But they do probably employ some of the strategies Rudy is discussing in today's ambitious episode of Living The Red Life that will help you get your hustle up.
