Despite the opportunity to break the six-figure ceiling, many people still feel awkward selling high ticket products, because they have erroneous ideas about what it means to work with clients at that level. By “high-ticket” I mean a sale that is more than $2,000.
Some people think that high-ticket customers would be high-maintenance and that they would have to work a lot harder to satisfy them. But, that’s just not true. There are huge advantages to selling higher priced products.
Here are three:
High-ticket requires the same amount of work.
High-ticket selling isn’t about the number of hours you put in—it’s about the transformation you facilitate through your products. You’re actually going to do the same amount of work to secure a $25 sale as a $3,500 sale.
Think about it, you still have to attract a new lead, market to that lead, convert the lead into a customer, follow up, upsell—all those things have to be done whether you’re charging $25, $1000 or $3500.
You’re going to love your affiliates.
Far from being needy or demanding, I generally find my high-ticket customers to be more respectful of my time. They’re also more self-reliant. And they’re more committed.
My high-ticket clients tend to work with me from a spirit of partnership. They come in, lay down their cash, fire up their commitment, and get to work. They take massive action and get massive results, creating an incredible upward spiral for themselves and my business as well.
High-ticket launches the Upward Spiral.
The formula to create that Upward Spiral is:
Commitment plus investment equals action, equals results = mojo for your business. Here’s how that works:
When your affiliates invest in themselves at a high level, they’re demonstrating a huge level of commitment. They’re all in, and that leads them to take massive action.
When they take massive action they get massive results. Those results build their confidence, which leads to a commitment to take the next big action.
That big action yields another big result, which gives them even more confidence, creating an incredible upward spiral that could continue without end.
In the meantime, you’re experiencing your own upward spiral. You become known for mentoring affiliates to produce huge results, which leads to a nice bank account and even more committed customers. While your affiliates revel in their results, your mojo goes through the roof.
Before long you’ve got the business you’ve always dreamed of—six- or seven-figures while transforming lives around the world.
Karla and I went to the racetrack on Wednesday to drive the race cars. They use a real stock car (class is Nascar Lite) that produces almost 500 hp and goes fast (faster than I was willing … lmao) …
Many mindset lessons came up in the experience from a bit of claustrophobia in the car to speeding around the turns …

If you’re not a millionaire, don’t give up hope that you will become one someday. Take note of the reasons you aren’t a millionaire and resolve to make changes that will make a million dollars obtainable, even for the average person.
1. You’re Not Your Own Boss
Although there’s no guarantee that self-employment will earn you a million dollars, it’s really unlikely that working for someone else will get you there either. There are very few jobs that pay million dollar salaries.
Don’t quit your day job tomorrow to launch a business, however. Instead, consider keeping your day job while you start a business on the side. You’ll have the security of your current salary along with an opportunity to create a business where you can earn extra cash.
2. You Avoid Taking Risks
People don’t become millionaires without taking any risks. Taking a risk doesn’t mean you need to invest all your money into a single investment or that you need to gamble earnings foolishly.
However, taking calculated risks is often part of good money management. No one gets rich on the interest they earn from the bank. Instead, millionaires know how to invest their money wisely.
3. You Never Act on Your Good Ideas
It’s one thing to come up with million dollar ideas, but a completely different thing to act on them. If you are more a dreamer who never puts his money where his mouth is, you’ll never get rich. Millionaires don’t sit around and watch others advance in life. They take action to help them reach their goals.
4. You Don’t Manage Your Money Wisely
The average person has the potential to become a millionaire in today’s world. Sound investments, a solid budget, and clear goals can mean that a person who earns an average salary can become a millionaire by retirement.
If you don’t manage your money wisely now, however, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to handle a million dollars with good sense. Establish a budget and create goals for yourself to help you save money now.
5. You Don’t Set Clear Goals for Yourself
People who don’t have clear goals aren’t going to make smart money decisions. You need goals to help you save money and invest wisely.
Create goals, such as getting out of debt or saving up for a vacation home. Creating goals will help you determine whether or not you should spend your money on other things that come up in the meantime. If you’re saving with a specific goal in mind, it’s much easier to say no to tempting opportunities to spend money.
6. You Don’t Put in Enough Time, Effort, and Energy
No one makes a million dollars by watching TV or sleeping 12 hours a night. Unless you’re lucky enough to win the lottery or inherit a windfall, becoming a millionaire takes hard work.
Millionaires consider the time and energy they put into a project to be an investment. They understand they won’t get immediate results but are willing to put in the hard work it takes to see the fruits of their labor. Learn how to manage your time wisely so you can become more productive with your efforts.
7. You Aren’t Networking with the Right People
You won’t become successful in life if you spend time with lazy people who aren’t interested in managing their money wisely. However, if you surround yourself with energetic, successful people, it will rub off on you.
Develop relationships with successful people in your community. Look for people who can mentor you in your efforts to manage your finances, invest wisely, or build a business. Spending time with others who share your goals can help fuel your passion and efforts to become a successful millionaire.
I’m a strong believer that personal development is one of the best investments you could ever make.
The reason is really simple.
Improving yourself, working on your awareness, improving your skills and knowledge about how you can maximize your potential… all of that is an investment into the greatest asset you’ll always have:
Yourself.
I know from my own experience that this is true.
And I know it from the fact that almost every financially successful person started out with a transformation to become the person who is then able to achieve that kind of success.
Personal development comes first, financial success follows.
It’s not the other way around.
How People Started Who “Made it” Financially
For instance Jeff Walker, a guy who is now famously known as the “$400 million dollar man” (yes, that’s $400,000,000; source: Forbes).
In one of his product launches he actually had a million dollar hour (making $1MM in 1 hour).
When he told his story in one of his videos the underlying message of him starting out with personal development didn’t surprise me at all. In this blog post he says:
“One of the big reasons I’m where I’m at today is because about 15 years ago, after watching an infomercial over and over…
At the time my life was totally flat lining – I wasn’t going anywhere, and I had no prospects. And I had almost no money whatsoever. Spending that $129 was a HUGE decision.
But, like I said… I suspended my disbelief, and I went ahead and picked up the phone and ordered the product. As soon as the product came, I tore into it. I followed every single step…
I was desperate to change my life…
And that was the start of everything… my life went from flat lining onto a trajectory that I still have a hard time believing. I can easily trace everything back to buying that course and going through it.”
Another great example is a person named Brendon Burchard, (another amazingly successful internet marketer) who was in a car accident, which was the one event making him think about his “miserable life” (as he called it).
He got inspired, went into a cycle of personal development and reshaping his life, and went on to create 4 different multi-million dollar products, one per year!
The Best Investment You Could Ever Make
My husband Don and I actively work on our personal development; developing our mindset, our goal-setting ability, our time-management… and we can honestly credit the success of our marriage, our personal outlook on life and our ability to make money, directly to the investment we've made to grow ourselves.
Grow internally first. Then reap the benefits.
So my message is simple but profound: Invest into yourself first.
This is something I strongly believe in. You have to learn these personal techniques that take you forward.
Invest into your own personal development and master yourself and your mind.
Build a strong mindset, discover your purpose in life and learn to tap into your passion. Build a powerful vision and learn to set goals and take action on them. Learn to focus your mind effectively and learn the foundation of time-management and productivity. And then act on it.
