✅ Toby's Top Takeaway From $100M Offers by Alex Hormozi
I have yet to meet a single leader who is happy with the pace of change in their organisation.
Maybe it's because I attract frustrated change agents (being one myself)
Or it might be because the status quo is so bloody stubborn!
I recently learned a secret tool to smash the status quo.
It is a simple formula that makes a change so attractive that people would feel silly turning it down.
When faced with change, everyone evaluates it using this formula.
Let’s explore the variables:
🌟 Connection to dream outcome
How does this change connect to the outcomes I want to achieve?
🎲 Perceived likelihood of achievement
How likely will this change help achieve my outcome?
⌛ Time delay
Once I make the change, how soon will I arrive at my dream outcome?
💪 Effort & sacrifice
When I make this change, how hard will it be and what might I need to give up?
To make change more attractive, use the formula:
↗️ Increase connection to dream outcome
↗️ Increase the perceived likelihood of achievement
↘️ Reduce time delay
↘️ Reduce the effort and sacrifice
When you are faced with change resistance, step back and work through the change formula. Which variable can you experiment with?

💡 3 Big Ideas From $100M Offers by Alex Hormozi
The Value Equation: To create an offer that stands out, you must manipulate four key variables: the dream outcome, perceived likelihood of achievement, time delay, and effort/sacrifice. The aim is to increase the customer's desire for the result while decreasing the time, effort, and uncertainty required to achieve it. This involves providing guarantees, demonstrating social proof, and removing friction from the customer journey.
Scarcity and Urgency: By leveraging principles of scarcity and urgency, you can create a psychological drive for immediate action. Limiting the availability of your offer (e.g., by reducing the number of units or imposing a time constraint) can significantly boost demand. Additionally, bonuses and risk-free guarantees can enhance the perceived value, making it easier for customers to say "yes."
Framing Offers Around Deep Desires: People are motivated by deeper, underlying desires such as status, respect, and recognition. Hormozi emphasises that the true art of making a grand slam offer is to connect your product or service to these desires. Frame your offers in terms of how they fulfil these deep needs, rather than just their functional benefits. For example, instead of selling a gym membership, sell the dream outcome of a fitter, more confident self.
