Most business owners aren’t “bad at business.” They’re just selling to broke people and then act surprised when the close rate is trash, churn is high, and customers complain nonstop. In this episode of The Game, Alex breaks down the uncomfortable truth: if you want to make money, you have to go where the money is. A small percentage of buyers control a massive percentage of the wealth, which means if you price and position your business for “everyone,” you end up building a business for the people who can’t pay. The goal is simple. Pick a better customer, build a bigger offer, and charge in a way that makes you more money with fewer sales.

You aren't making as much money as you want because you don't know how to get it from the people who've got it.

My name's Alex Ramosey. I run a portfolio of companies at Acquisition.com that earn us over $250 million per year. I did a book launch 12 weeks ago that did $106 million in sales in a weekend. It broke a Guinness World Record for the fastest selling nonfiction book of all time. In this video, I'm going to explain a course shift in my understanding of how getting money actually works and why the rich do in fact get richer.

And I'm going to explain a course shift in my understanding of how getting money actually works and why the rich do in fact get richer.

0:23.6

And I'm going to show you the math behind it and most importantly, how you can gain access to it.

0:27.6

The first reason that you aren't making as much as you want is because you're selling to people who don't have the money to give you.

0:33.6

So think about it like this and this is really important.

0:35.6

Imagine this pyramid as a representation of earning in the United States.

of their assets. Last year was $163 trillion. And you're like, man, how am I going to pay rent? I'm like, let's get some of that $1003 trillion.

1:11.6

And you're like, man, how am I gonna pay rent?

1:13.6

I'm like, let's get some of that $163 trillion.

1:16.6

So this is going to blow your mind.

1:18.6

So I want you to imagine that you had $100.

1:20.6

Okay, so I'm going to equate this $163 trillion is now $100.

1:24.6

Okay?

1:25.6

And we're going to spread it out relative to how it actually is spread

1:30.1

within the United States.

100 percentiles in terms of net worth
