my audio version of the book is so for
the past number of weeks weeks weeks
I’ve been pounding my publisher saying
we need the audio version we need the
audio version we do people keep asking
for the audio version I gotta get it out
and I saw an order that came in this
morning from Kerry Lee who bought it on
audible and like wait a min on apple
doesn’t mean the top the other version
is up this is amazing I got so excited
they publish it even tell me that it was
up but its up but at least on audible
and hopefully others as well I’ll
double-check that but the audible link
is now available and we’ll put it on the
page that you guys can be able to buy it
and the greater lesson here for
entrepreneurs is that I know isn’t
always uh no this is great clip that I
remember from Sylvester Stallone where
he said that he loved nose because I
know wasn’t really no no was really a
yes challenge it really just I just love
I love it you know I love being told no
it just means yes no and so quite often
as entrepreneurs you’re gonna get
rejected you’re gonna get knows a lot
and so you need to keep on it keep on
and keep on it was something that you
really believe in something that you
really love Noah doesn’t mean no no it’s
just a future yes and you just waiting
to get to that yes and what really
helped me was you guys was showing the
momentum is why I reached out to you on
the videos and said hey if you want
something from the publisher put it in
the comments and what I kept doing to
them was ice cream captured every time
you wrote about the audio version I
would screen capture and send another
email and another email and another
email so as they kept getting bombarded
with these requests for the audio
version and because it was something
that doesn’t usually get done that’s the
resistance that’s like it wasn’t that
they hated me and they didn’t want that
to happen for me just it just happened
for anybody they don’t do pre-releases
of audio books it’s usually just
released when the book gets released and
so I was asking to do something that
they don’t typically do and if it was
just me asking and pestering and asking
then I might have still got a yes but
it’s way easier to show the momentum
coming from you guys and so that’s super
important whenever you’re trying to
pitch a deal I remember
in the venture capital business people
would come pitches ideas without getting
customers and said you know we’re going
to pass but they might come back six
months later and have customers and now
we look at that as a real potential
opportunity to invest into and so don’t
lose hope at the first no but you have
to do something different you got to
stay on top of it you gotta build
momentum so that you keep coming back to
them with something new shown greater
and greater greater momentum to
hopefully eventually get a yes so we got
our yes and it’s thanks to you guys for
helping them so let’s get to the
questions let’s scroll through scroll
through who do we got who’d we got some
good questions first up is five salje
how about if they forget what you did to
them or dumb you this is from my last
video about how to build connections I
was saying you try to add value to their
lives you try to look at everybody who
is around you and see how you can help
them so that when you need help they can
make those introductions for you first
of all expect it like it’s going to
happen some people will forget about you
some people won’t remember what you did
for them one maybe what you did wasn’t
important enough you know maybe it
wasn’t valuable enough maybe they don’t
remember or care because they don’t
remember that you did that for them so
that’s on you to add more value and be
memorable but regardless some people
will never reciprocate that’s okay the
reason to do it isn’t only to go and ask
them for something else right if that’s
the only motive like I’m only doing this
for you so that you’re gonna do
something back for me a minute later if
that’s the incentive people can smell
that people can sense that it’s not
genuine the key is enjoying that process
like like helping other people get to
where they want to go and net net it
always works out because some people
will never repay it but the people who
do we pay it will be worth way more than
all the others combined it’s a classic
you know venture capital deal though
they’ll invest in the ten companies that
they all think are going to be winners
but really one company is going to be a
huge winner most of the companies will
fail or fall shorter won’t get any
revenue lose your expectations but that
one company out of ten that they invest
into does more than all the others
combined but going in you don’t know who
that one of the ten is going to be you
think they’re all going to be the one
but only one ends up actually being the
one so enjoy the process of helping
people make it part of something that
makes you come alive and if you can
ignore the outcome of only doing it to
help that other person like when I
mentioned what I was doing
it wasn’t just to make the connections
is because I like helping people get to
where they want to go to and yes it’s
great that there’s a possibility that I
could win those connections back somehow
and it’ll benefit me but it’s not the
only reason to go in and doing it so yes
expect some people not to reciprocate
it’s going to happen next up Tanika
Griffin thanks Evan simple no-nonsense
advice on how to build connections and
really preach the emphasis on adding
value to others but what can we do to
get Jason on camera Jason you’re going
to think about this what’s happened
what’s happened since last week still no
way what is taneka have to do to get you
on camera nothing just going to come
impossible guys remember my talking to
start about momentum and not accepting
no one knows just yes we got it we got a
we got to stay on Jason he’s smiling he
secretly wants to do it he’s just afraid
we got to keep the comments coming for
Jason show Jason some love we’ll get him
one of these days on camera next up Zeno
Rene brand that name sounds super
familiar good I don’t know anything
about her Renee is from Texas and she
speaks a lot about vulnerability and how
you should not be afraid to be who you
are and sometimes that means you’re
gonna fail on a public stage and it’s
it’s a really personal message and
against the like fake it till you make
it kind of mentality against like always
win kind of mentality in that she admits
to being scared before going out on
saying she admits to sharing
insecurities about herself and scenes
like all these great comments coming in
one person comments that she’s fat or
something and how that makes her feel
and that makes a really strong human
connection and so she has a really great
TED talk about vulnerability that I
would definitely recommend checking out
and so one of these days I’m gonna find
my path to get to burn a brown just so
that I can help the person that I know
in my business to help her make that
introduction I’d love to meet Bernie but
I’m not the kind of person like there’s
nobody that I really wish i could
interview or meet i don’t i don’t know
i’m not that kind of person but be able
to do that for somebody else really gets
me excited so i’m gonna make it happen
one way or another it’s going to happen
next up Shelly Jason Jason Jason would
love to see jason said he loved to
believe nation oh he’s kind of Shelly’s
got a rhyme
on there Jason Jason Jason would love to
see Jason suddenly love to believe
nation a lava Kelly we’re working on it
Shelly Shelly see h-e-l-l-o I Shelly I
think chili I like the name Jason Jason
Jason he’s smiling he’s smiling behind
the camera maybe I’ll like secretly put
a camera here somewhere next time as you
can see Jason next up Peter could you do
a top 10 series of success for John
Wooden please for all the top pens just
go to any top 10 video and leave the
request there and and my team will pick
it up a little added to the list next up
Matisse paradise if you can’t persuade
Jason to go on camera then why do I need
to read your book can you hear the
laughing you hear the Jason laughing
behind there’s points for originality on
there but also the hate I don’t know i
don’t care i don’t i’m not convincing
anybody read my book if that’s the
reason if that’s the go to whether Jason
comes on camera or not that makes you
want to buy the book or not then then I
almost don’t want to bring Jason on
camera because I don’t do well with
threats Jay rise whoo you’re over a
hundred books sold now hashtag keep
rising yes I didn’t do the update at the
top of the show so we’re now 117 books
sold it’s still far far from where I
want to be but yes we crossed a hundred
books old threshold and thank you j
reyez for bringing that up because i
forgot to mention at the top and I get
that it’s a long way away and that it’s
hard to buy something nap so that comes
in December you know there are free
bonuses that come alongside attached to
it you do get immediately but also our
hope that I’ve given you enough value
right like I hope you know how much is
the book cost twenty bucks I hope that
I’ve given you more than twenty dollars
worth of value in all of these free
youtube videos that you consider
supporting me and if I’ve given you five
thousand dollars with the value maybe
you can buy more than one book right or
ten thousands of the value up that ante
a little bit show a little bit of love
and support and appreciation I’m not
asking for a lot from you guys and I’m
not hard selling anything on my channel
so hopefully that appreciation will come
through and we can get to our 3000 book
goal Marco Polo waiting for audio book
it’s up Marco Polo it is up Marco Polo
I’m excited next up PMA Reza Congrats
having I’ve been watching you for almost
a year now you’re
my favorite mentoring on YouTube guy
appreciate that feeling the love I for
sure will buy your book don’t know how
but I will Virginia from Panama the tiny
worm country with a big heart in Central
America I appreciate that thank you so
much I haven’t been the Panama yet but
it’s on my list so this might make it a
little bit faster me get in the Panama
thank you for the support next up a
Mervyn buon anno heroine thanks for
sharing all these information I just
have a question about how does an author
get paid from book sales please provide
one or several examples so I think it
depends on what your model is what your
goal is what your objective is as an
author if you just want to make money
from your book then the best way to do
it is to self-publish because you own
the book you own all the rights to it
you keep almost all of the sales com you
have a little bit of charge for we own
winner when if somebody buys a book you
have processing payments is up but in
general you get everything so money is
your only goal that’s the way to do it
if you’re going through a publisher like
I did then you may or may not get in
advance so I got a pretty good advance
for first-time author but usually the
first-time author you wouldn’t expect to
get any kind of advanced I wouldn’t bank
on that and then you get some kind of
percentage of sales as you go along and
I honestly don’t even know what it is
one percent two percent I don’t know
because most of the book sales are so
meaningless from an off the point of
view in terms of a revenue standpoint
that it’s not why I do it like to go
with one publisher because they’re gonna
give me a half a point higher than the
other publisher is not worth it i’d
rather have a publisher who really wants
me to go out there and make a big splash
and have a big impact will help market
it and promote it and edit it and all
that stuff is much more important for me
so depending on your goals if money is
the only thing you’re looking at just so
publish your like what you may sell less
but you’ll make more dollars because you
keep everything where you only get a
certain percentage and again I don’t
have examples to share because i don’t
know what’s my own contract because it’s
so far from what I’m thinking about it’s
not the purpose of why I’m writing this
book so those are my thoughts next up
Arun Kumar thanks to the video Evan bro
here one of your friends from India so
keep pushing your publisher to sell your
book in India thank you we’ve had a
number of orders from India but again I
know it’s expensive with shipping I
don’t know where they’re buying from
amazon.com and then shipping it I know
it’s expensive so this is what I’m going
to do I’m going to copy and paste
to my publisher and let them know hey
what’s up let’s get on amazon india how
long is this going to take come on so
keep those coming in if you’re not
seeing it in your local market then let
me know I’m going to keep sending my
publisher and hopefully we can make that
happen for you guys next up John zimba
hey I’m from Zambia how can I get your
book I would check amazon i don’t know
if there’s amazon zambia how that works
where you normally order stuff online if
you do have a name at amazon zambia let
me know i’m gonna i’m going to send this
to my publisher to write like you’re
from a country that i don’t know where
if amazon has a big presence in or not
just keep keep putting in the comments
and i’ll send to my publisher and we’ll
do our best to apply some pressure last
up shin hey Evan thanks all these videos
