If you don’t know how to sell, you’ll never be wealthy.

Here are 20 words that will help you master the art of sales: Image
"Why"

Use stories to tell your audience:

• Why do you love your business
• Why did you start it
• Why is it worth it

Use your purpose to build relationships. It wins over hard selling.
"You"

Make it personal. Speak directly to your audience.

When I say, “You deserve the lifestyle you dream of." I'm talking to YOU.

When you speak directly to your audience, you're not just sharing a message.

You're engaging in one-to-one dialogue. Image
"Customized"

Tailor your offering to match customers' unique needs.

Create a bespoke strategy for each customer. One size doesn't fit all, so personalize the approach.

Make each customer feel seen, heard, and catered to.
"Free"

Harness the power of irresistible free offers.

I grew my newsletter from 0 to 68,000 subs by offering free insights to Founder OS systems.

A free product can become the most critical factor in sales and brand loyalty, without even being a direct purchase. Image
"Instant"

Leverage the desire for quick wins and fast results.

Showcase how using your products can deliver outcomes quickly.

Cater to your audience's appetite for instant gratification.
"Guaranteed"

Offer reassurance to boost conversions.

If you know your product is the best out there, don’t shy away.

“Zach used Founder OS’ guaranteed systems to grow his revenue by 3.5x in 60 days”.

Back your product with a strong promise. Image
"Limited Time"

Create urgency and scarcity.

Flash sales and seasonal promotions tap into FOMO.

I have limited-edition digital products that I release a few times a year to maintain exclusivity.

Deadlines become catalysts for action, turning hesitation into commitment.
"Easy"

Highlight how you make customers' lives simpler.

Founder OS provides plug-and-play systems that are easy to implement.

No complicated setup. Just results.

Communicate the convenience you offer. Image
"Save"

Emphasize how you help your customers save:

• Time
• Effort
• Money

Demonstrate the value and cost savings you bring to the table.
"Discover"

Invite customers to uncover new possibilities.

Founder OS helps you discover the systems to grow your business to $1M and beyond.

Hint at the transformation that awaits when they buy. Image
"New"

Create a buzz with groundbreaking innovations.

Bitmaker was the first new coding boot camp of its kind in Canada.

I positioned it as a novel, cutting-edge education model.

Spark curiosity by teasing fresh solutions to old problems.
"Revolutionary"

Challenge the status quo and shake up your industry.

“My revolutionary audience capture tech converts 35% of anonymous web traffic into known emails”.

Spotlight your most disruptive, category-killing innovations.
"Elite"

Position your product as rare and desirable.

When I spoke at the Capitalism Conference, I shared these insights with an elite group of 100 7-figure founders.

Emphasize the privilege of access to make people feel special. Image
"Safe"

Proactively overcome doubts and objections.

Demonstrate how partnering with you ensures safety for them and their business.

For example, Google emphasizes privacy-safe personalization to create more relevant and engaging experiences. Image
"Premium"

Justify a high price point with exceptional quality.

For example, Apple iCloud+ is promoted as Apple’s premium cloud subscription.

Highlight exclusive offerings and services that warrant a premium price tag. Image
"Effortless"

Remove friction and make taking action a no-brainer.

For example, “Experience effortless driving with our latest innovations in cruise control and automatic parking”.

Grease the slide and make saying "yes" the path of least resistance.
"Join"

Rally customers around a shared mission and identity.

“Join millions of subscribers and never miss a moment of your favorite shows”.

Make belonging to your brand a badge of honor.
"Imagine"

Paint a vivid picture of the customer's dream scenario.

“Imagine your business running on autopilot as you sip margaritas on the beach.”

Transport the reader to their ideal future state. Image
"Simple"

This works like a charm because it:

• Focuses on benefits
• Offers clarity of value
• Reduces perceived risk

Overcome initial resistance and address challenges faced by your audience.
"Proven"

Showcase the tangible results you deliver.

I used these audience growth systems myself to reach 1.8M raving fans.

Lead with concrete proof, not hype. Image
Stop guessing and start using these proven phrases in your messaging.

Your words can open wallets or close doors.

Use them wisely.
P.S. If you like proven systems, you'll love my weekly newsletter (it's free).

If I lost everything today and had to start from $0, here's what I'd do:
Step 1: I'd Start a Community Before I Start a Company

Most founders build products then find customers.

I'd find customers then build products.

Community is the new moat.

Audience is the new currency. Image
Step 2: I'd Launch a Newsletter on Day 1 (Not Day 1,000)

While competitors fight for followers, I'd own the inbox.

Newsletter subscribers convert 40x higher than social followers.

They're not just an audience, they're your unfair advantage. Image

I interviewed 10 founders making $75,000+ per month.

They all shared the same 7 dreams.

Dreams so vivid they kept them awake at night.

Dreams so real they could taste them.

Here’s what they told me:
Dream 1: The One-Month Test

"I want to disappear for 30 days and return to find my business better than when I left."

This is the ultimate freedom test.

Right now, most founders can't take 3 days off without everything falling apart.
But imagine:

Your team operates flawlessly.

Your systems run themselves.

Your revenue grows while you're gone.

This isn't fantasy.

This is systems. Image

How to brand yourself in 30 days (without selling your soul):
The Old Game Is Dead

I've spent $1.4M testing what doesn't work:

• Paid ads → 83% ROI decrease
• PR firms → $30K for zero sales
• Press features → 72-hour spikes
• Chasing algorithms → Endless pivots
• Networking events → Surface connections

2025 winners aren't buying media. They're becoming it.Image
The Media Takeover

Look at the numbers:

• Elon Musk: 193M followers vs. Tesla: 20M
• Tim Cook: 14M followers vs. Apple: 9.6M
• Richard Branson: 12.3M followers vs. Virgin: 667K

Yet 97% of founders are still playing by outdated rules.

Most founders stay broke because they get trapped by these 8 deadly patterns.

I was stuck in every single one of them for years.

Here's what's keeping you small:
1.  Procrastination → Do It Dirty

Perfect is the enemy of profit.

I used to spend 3 weeks perfecting a single post.

Meanwhile, my competitor launched 15 "messy" posts and made $30,000.

Done is better than perfect.

Launch the draft. Image
2.  Imposter Syndrome → Scared = Ready

That knot in your stomach isn't fear.

It's excitement disguised as terror.

When I was scared to launch my first course, a mentor told me:

"If you're not embarrassed by your first version, you launched too late."

Fear is just readiness wearing a disguise.Image

The great founder extinction is coming.

I've identified 3 types of founders.

Only one survives the AI revolution.

Here's the brutal truth about which one you are:
The Ghost Founder (97% - Going Extinct)

These founders are invisible behind their companies.

No personal brand.

No systems.

No leverage.

When AI automates their core business functions, they have nothing left.

They built companies that could replace them.

Now AI will. Image
The Personality Founder (2% - Temporarily Safe)

These founders ARE their brand.

High visibility. Big following. Constant content.

But they're trapped in the content hamster wheel.

They can't systemize because they ARE the system.

When they burn out (and they will), it all collapses.Image

I'm going to tell you things that will make you uncomfortable.

Things that financial advisors won't say because they'd lose clients.

But after building a multi-million dollar portfolio, I've learned these truths the hard way:
Focus On Making More, Not Saving More.

Cutting $5 lattes won't make you rich.

Adding $5,000 monthly income will.

I went from broke to millionaire by obsessing over revenue, not reducing expenses. Image
Index Funds Won't Make You Rich

8% annual returns are mediocre when you factor in inflation and currency debasement.

The wealthy start businesses, not become employees earning "safe" returns.

I make more in one month from my businesses than most make in a decade from index funds.

Build equity. Own assets. Stop being a passenger.Image
