In this episode, Jai Long talks about how important it is for businesses to be really good at just one thing instead of trying to do lots of things okay. He explains that when you're really good at something, people trust you more and are willing to pay more for your services. Jai teaches us how to make a special webpage (sales page) that tells people exactly what we're good at and why they should pick us. Dedicated Sales page for each product and serive will be the game-changer for your business. We talk about sales page in-depth in Jai's coaching program: The Six-Figure Business Map Join Jai on a 3-day workshop to craft an offer to sell in your business.

Whether you're a full-time wedding photographer or a creative service provider, sometimes it can feel like your income doesn't match your efforts. You pour so much time, heart and soul into your business, yet you're constantly stuck between desperately searching for leads and ignoring the lurking burnout. Your output doesn't reflect the input. As a solopreneur, it's crucial that you're making the most of your finite time, energy, and resources. So, how can you build a more sustainable business? Have you considered supplementing your service-based business income with additional products (that can make you money even while you're asleep)? You've spent years honing your knowledge and skillset—these are invaluable assets you can use to generate extra revenue in your business. As a special guest in this Make Your Break podcast episode, Harry Needham is a business coach dedicated to helping coaches and creatives hit $10k—$30k in monthly revenue. Once a "failed architect", he now teaches other creators how to teach their knowledge by scaling high-ticket coaching programs and growing their brand organically on Instagram.   Here's a quick rundown of what Jai and Harry cover together (+ timestamps): Harry Needham's origin story [5:20] The difference between 'Low-Ticket' vs. 'High-Ticket' Programs [6:55] The downside of low-ticket offers [9:04] How high-ticket offers deliver better results [9:54] Being held back by self-worth & limiting beliefs [15:28] Opportunity costs & focusing on the 'who' not 'how' [22:22] Your offer's evolution & the different stages [30:04] Testing what people are willing to spend on your offer [33:05] Detaching your self-worth from everything you do [36:49] Join The FREE 3-day online workshop and build an offer that sells like crazy: https://learn.jailong.co/cl-launch-24-workshop  ----- All Jai Long's Details: Jai Long's Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jailong.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the Six-Figure Business Map: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sixfigurebusinessmap.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Say hi To Jai Long on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Jailong.co ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave a review on the Apple podcast app with the link below: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/creative-business-make-your-break-podcast/id1479145264⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Wedding Photography Summit - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://weddingphotographysummit.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5nLrLzaJWItTgoNhe-y1sw⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Episode Sponsor: Pepperstorm (copywriting and SEO) : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jailong.co/pepperstorm

When we hear the word "sales", we tend to cringe and think of dodgy car salesmen and annoying telemarketers with their pushy (and sneaky) sales tactics. Having experienced more than our fair share of disappointing and/or frustrating sales experiences, we hate thinking about sales, hoping our dream clients will come knocking. We'd rather focus on marketing than sales, staying true to our "authentic" selves. Welllll, I hate to break it to you, my friend, but you NEED to learn to love sales. In fact, Jai believes that sales are the most important part of running a business and that "a business without sales is not a business; it's a hobby." #micdrop The good news is that sales is nowhere near as hard or as awkward as we've been led to believe. Put simply, think of sales as building a little bridge for your clients to get from where they are now to achieving their desired transformation (with the help of your solutions). Rather than getting hung up on the process of "selling", concentrate on being and becoming the best version of yourself. So, where to from here? In today's Make Your Break podcast episode, Jai will walk you through his top 10 easy-to-follow tips to elevate your sales language for high-converting client interactions. Here are the key timestamps for Jai's top 10 sales language tips: Tip #1: Replace “I” with “you” [6:53]Tip #2: Guide them to the solution they’re looking for [9:42]Tip #3: Ask questions that lead to a “yes” answer [12:48]Tip #4: Never use the word “but” [15:09]Tip #5: Always agree [17:07]Tip #6: Never use words like “hope”  [23:32]Tip #7: Reassure them with “I got you” [25:22]Tip #8: Always match their energy [26:59]Tip #9: Set expectations by establishing timeframes [29:53]Tip #10: Learn to listen [33:50]  ----- All Jai Long's Details: Jai Long's Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jailong.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the Six-Figure Business Map: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sixfigurebusinessmap.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Say hi To Jai Long on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Jailong.co ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave a review on the Apple podcast app with the link below: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/creative-business-make-your-break-podcast/id1479145264⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Wedding Photography Summit - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://weddingphotographysummit.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5nLrLzaJWItTgoNhe-y1sw⁠⁠⁠⁠ Episode Sponsor: Pepperstorm (copywriting and SEO) : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jailong.co/pepperstorm

Beyond reaching financial milestones, there's an important equation that creative entrepreneurs often forget. Achievement + Fulfilment = Success We tend to fall into the trap of chasing achievements, losing sight of our 'why' and our vision for life and business. While many of the factors may overlap, it's essential that you're always making sure that your business is in line with your personal values and life goals. In this week's Make Your Break podcast episode #275, Jai is joined by Ivan Amssan, a Midwest wedding photographer and photography coach. With over six years of experience in the photography industry, Ivan brings his infectious energy and draws on his storytelling skills to walk us through his signature 4-part framework for creating a project calendar for your life. A solution that arose in a time of need and stress, this is the exact calendar that he consistently implements to increase his revenue by 41% year on year. Designed to elevate your year with intention and clarity, this calendar is specifically for planning and setting project goals that will move the needle - keeping you accountable to actually "doing" the plan (and not just "planning" the plan). Considering all your hopes, dreams, and emotions, you'll strategise a calendar that doesn't just end up becoming another to-do list. Join Jai & Ivan Amssan as they walk through Ivan's 4-step project calendar framework - here are the key timestamps: Introduction to Ivan Amssan [3:45] What the calendar framework is about [10:12] The background story behind the framework [11:23] What your life will look like after using this project calendar [15:32] The importance of planning [18:29] Framework - Step 1: Define Your Overall 'Why' [19:22] Framework - Step 2: Map Out Your Life & Business Goals for the Year [24:25] Framework - Step 3: Create Your Project Calendar [26:06] Framework - Step 4: Rinse & Repeat the Framework [38:22] Download the workbook:⁠ https://jailong.co/275  ----- All Jai Long's Details: Jai Long's Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jailong.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the Six-Figure Business Map: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sixfigurebusinessmap.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Say hi To Jai Long on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Jailong.co ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave a review on the Apple podcast app with the link below: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/creative-business-make-your-break-podcast/id1479145264⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Wedding Photography Summit - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://weddingphotographysummit.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5nLrLzaJWItTgoNhe-y1sw⁠⁠⁠⁠ Episode Sponsor: Pepperstorm (copywriting and SEO) : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jailong.co/pepperstorm

In last week's Make Your Break podcast episode, Jai walked through his first six-figure year and what that looked like. So, in this week's episode 273, he dives into the 7 most pivotal lessons he learned after successfully reaching his first $1M entrepreneurial milestone. Want a brief background story? Rewinding the clock, it was four years ago when Jai first made a million dollars. In fact, he made exactly 1 million from his coaching business, 1 million from cryptocurrency and then another 1 million from property investments. Whether it was a mere coincidence or his (obsessive) efforts finally paying off, they all peaked at the same time. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic throwing a spanner in the works, Jai was determined to work on what was in his control, rather than allowing outside influences to affect his momentum. He wanted to expand while everyone else was retracting and playing it safe. As a creative business and mindset coach, reaching his unrealistic goals means that he can continue to help other people reach their unrealistic goals. Because, at the end of the day, Jai believes that when you focus on giving (rather than taking), the universe will always work out a way to give back to you.  Uncover the 7 important lessons Jai learned from his first 7-figure year as an entrepreneur - here are the key timestamps: Lesson #1: You MUST make a plan, otherwise it won't happen [21:05] Lesson #2: Learn to love sales [24:49] Lesson #3: It's a numbers game [29:09] Lesson #4: Focus on ONE product; less is more [33:08] Lesson #5: Drop low-value tasks & products [37:05] Lesson #6: Find your leverages [41:42] Lesson #7: A positive mindset towards "inequality" [44:04]   Download the workbook: https://jailong.co/273/  ----- All Jai Long's Details: Jai Long's Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jailong.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the Six-Figure Business Map: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sixfigurebusinessmap.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Say hi To Jai Long on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Jailong.co ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave a review on the Apple podcast app with the link below: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/creative-business-make-your-break-podcast/id1479145264⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Wedding Photography Summit - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://weddingphotographysummit.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5nLrLzaJWItTgoNhe-y1sw⁠⁠⁠ Episode Sponsor: Pepperstorm (copywriting and SEO) : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jailong.co/pepperstorm

It was 17 years ago when Jai started his first business. It went bankrupt after 12 months...but he refused to give up. Continuing his entrepreneurial journey, he established his next business venture as an electrician, taking 24 months to hit six figures. In 2013, he started his third business as a wedding photographer and achieved six figures in 12 months. Not one to sit around idly, Jai then put on his business coach hat and launched his educational products - the Six-Figure Business Map, Wedding Photography Summit, in-person and online workshops, etc. - and crushed six figures in less than 12 months...in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. On the side, he also ran a photobooth DJ business, earning six figures in less than six months. Without detailing every business Jai has successfully launched, there's a proven strategy behind his entrepreneurial madness - one that he can rinse and repeat repeatedly, making it easier and easier each time. Since then, he's been pouring his hard-earned knowledge and relentless mindset into the community, helping thousands of photographers, videographers and entrepreneurs join the six-figure club. So, in this latest Make Your Break podcast episode, it's only fitting that he dives into the 10 most pivotal and game-changing life lessons he uncovered while building his first $100k biz! Diving into the 10 biggest life lessons (and secrets) Jai learned along the way, you're welcome to skip to the following timestamps: Lesson #1: Working for free [4:06] Lesson #2: Business works on averages [14:57] Lesson #3: Limiting beliefs [21:33] Lesson #4: You don't need to know everything [24:50] Lesson #5: It's a numbers game [27:59] Lesson #6: Success leaves clues [31:00] Lesson #7: Your network is your net worth [33:07] Lesson #8: Every day is another step [35:39] Lesson #9: Plan ahead [36:36] Lesson #10: Have more fun [38:09] Download the workbook:  https://jailong.co/271/  ----- All Jai Long's Details: Jai Long's Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jailong.co/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the Six-Figure Business Map: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sixfigurebusinessmap.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Say hi To Jai Long on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Jailong.co ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave a review on the Apple podcast app with the link below: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/creative-business-make-your-break-podcast/id1479145264⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Wedding Photography Summit - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://weddingphotographysummit.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5nLrLzaJWItTgoNhe-y1sw⁠⁠ Episode Sponsor: Pepperstorm (copywriting and SEO) : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://jailong.co/pepperstorm

Just to preface this Make Your Break podcast episode, nothing is really ever a "mistake". When you're a creative entrepreneur, it's all about embracing the learning curve - the ups and downs, the successes and failures. Every "mistake" or "failure" is an opportunity to reflect, improve and become a better and wiser version of yourself. That's why it's incredibly important to learn from different people's perspectives, even if they're in an entirely different niche or industry. Rather than letting the fear of failure hold you back from getting outside your comfort zone, have the courage to anticipate and overcome the inevitable roadblocks along your journey. Nurture your growth mentality to accept that business is rarely predictable. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Big problem? Find an even bigger, more innovative solution. Your strongest weapon is staying ahead of the curve and pre-empting all the possible solutions so you can get back on track ASAP.   Join Jai as he reveals the 5 biggest mistakes he's made in recent years - you can skip to the following timestamps: Nothing is ever a "mistake" [3:13] You're always going to have problems [4:17] Contradictory mistakes [6:09] Mistake #1: Not trusting myself [7:02] Mistake #2: Not listening enough to others [11:02] Mistake #3: Shiny object syndrome [17:47] Mistake #4: Not focusing on impact [24:08] Mistake #5: Running out of money [27:50] Download the workbook: https://jailong.co/267/  ----- Want to share your story on how you quit your job?
