Mindset For Getting Value From Consumed Content

This call covers a powerful mindset for ensuring you get real value and an "ROI" from any information products, courses, books or other learning materials you invest time and money into.  

Approach Consumption With An "Get My Money Back" Mindset

Adopt a mindset of extracting enough value to recoup your investment when consuming anything.

Chris advocates for consciously approaching any paid information or learning experience with the intent to get back the monetary value you put in, and then some. He uses the example of books behind him on his shelf - for every book he paid for, he made the investment back many times over by applying the ideas, teaching the concepts, or building something off the material. View your consumption not just as an expense, but as an opportunity to create value. Don't just take in and hold the information, but find ways to give it back out through your work.

View Creation as Generating Byproducts
The creation process naturally yields many valuable byproducts beyond the core offering.

Chris describes a mindset from the book "Rework" about finding value in the byproducts created during the development of any main creation like a course, book, product etc. For example, worksheets, self-assessments, tools and other pieces you create in the process can be extracted and turned into their own separate products to sell at lower prices. Most creators focus only on selling the main thing, but you can exponentially increase your revenue streams by selling off these byproducts.

Action Steps:

1. For your next creation, keep a list of any support tools, templates, exercises, etc. you develop along the way.
2. Identify which pieces have potential standalone value and could be packaged up to sell individually.
3. Add these byproduct offerings to your sales pipeline at lower price points to create additional revenue streams.

Staying focused on measurable goals
When reviewing examples members share, Chris steers feedback towards concrete goals the work should achieve, like lead generation or sales conversion.

Keeping objectives specific and quantifiable helps optimize strategies and assess whether they are effective. It prevents vague or vanity metrics from guiding decisions.

The copywriting framework called R.O.T stands for Results, Objections, and Time. Results refer to the outcomes or promises made in the copy, while objections address potential doubts or hesitations the audience may have. Time indicates the timeframe associated with achieving the promised results. By addressing objections and clarifying guarantees, copywriters can overcome resistance and build trust with their audience. The three stages clients go through before making a purchase are problem awareness, solution awareness, and product awareness. Homework for copywriters includes crafting clear and focused headlines, ensuring lead magnets have strong hooks, and understanding the customer journey to tailor messaging effectively. Additionally, being prepared, asking questions strategically, and practicing good hygiene are essential elements of effective participation in workshops or meetings.
