Raising Money for Your First Business?

Our reading notes on Alex Hormozi

• How to Price a Service Business So It Actually Makes Money | Ep 1002

  In a conversation about an event service, Hormozi asks how the team separately prices work such as sponsor and vendor management. He proposes a worksheet that turns answers about the scope into a quote. It gives the person preparing a proposal a way to show which responsibility changed the price.

• Building a $2,300,000/yr Business for a Stranger in 57 Mins | Ep 1012

  The salon owner charges the same price throughout the week, although her busiest days cluster from Thursday to Saturday. Hormozi asks when the appointments actually fill before discussing a price change. A calendar that looks half empty on average can still have a waiting list for the hours customers want most.

• How to Make Money With Social Media (My Exact Playbook) | Ep 1005

  Hormozi describes a quarter when broader videos attracted attention while book sales, leads and applications fell. His counterexample is a creator who teaches registered dietitians to bill insurers. Small reach can be entirely appropriate when the problem is that specialized. His own sales comparison gives editors a question to test on their own audience.
