Mastermind Alliance III: Hustlers manifesto.

Hi Leigh,

Firstly I would like to thank you for the course and all your efforts in the mentorship circles. It was such a great experience and I loved every second of it. I learned so much, I grew so much and I got to talk business every Tuesdays. My Tuesdays were the best and I treasure the experience. Admittedly, selfishly, I never want to lose that. I think you are so knowledgeable and professional that I want you as a mentor. There’s so much I could learn from you and you understand the content landscape and business as a whole. Napoleon Hill talked about establishing a “Mastermind” with somebody, or an institution if you want to attain riches. A “Mastermind alliance” is an understanding or a partnership that two or more entities share to get a particular goal. My hope is to form one with you. I am a creative whose personality trait is one of openness, that entails that all of the value is within. I am the business and there’s nothing I can’t do.

I wish to thank you for your time.

Best regards
Antakalipa

Mastermind Alliance II: MVP

Mastermind Alliance II: MVP

In 1976, Apple released their first computer. It was mainly hardware, a board. The two Steve’s sold the belongings to make it happen. Woz sold his awesome calculator and Jobs his VW car. They enlisted a buyer who made an order but they didn’t have capital to fulfill the order, regardless they moved things around and managed to create the required units. This was their MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and it was a success, the start of Apple computers. After their MVP, they set their eyes on designing and creating a fully-fledged computer to be named the “Apple 2”. They formed a “Mastermind Alliance” with Mike Murkela who funded them for a ownership stake in the start-up. A mastermind alliance is an understanding or a partnership that two or more entities share to get to a particular goal. It was a perfect union. Murkula got an ownership stake for his investment and a business and the two Steve’s got capital to build the Apple 2 and business experience, guidance and mentorship from the more father-figure Murkula. The release of Apple 2 was a success and everyone was rewarded. Apple 2 is the reason, there is a Apple today. But without a mastermind alliance nothing big can really happen because a company needs resources and infrastructure to expand. Nothing lasts forever and it’s difficult to stay on top. A master alliance helps establish a competitive advantage – imitators are usually rife after the success of a product. Steve Jobs established a closed system for Apple and made it exclusive and further used vertical integration as a business model. Vertical integration is when a company controls all its operations from manufacturing to distribution. Apple has its own operating system, distribution system with Apple stores, ITunes and retail stores, it controls the whole experience. When Apple said “Think Different”, they meant it. They are on a class of their own, they are alone. They will always have a competitive advantage because all of their products are linked. Everything is custom-made for the Apple user. Epic games are suing Apple for charging too much commission, but I feel it’s in vain because they Epic games are operating in Apples domain. It’s like somebody making the rules in your house. The Apple store is Apples, they decide how much commission to charge, if you don’t like it – tough! Yes they are operating as monopoly but their business model enabled them to be distinguished, they deserve their power because they created the market – this is the brilliance of Apple. After the MVP, you need a mastermind alliance, it is vitally important.

Mastermind Alliance

Late 1880’s Coca-Cola wanted to turn 2 million into 2 trillion by 2034. Their plan to get there was Classical conditioning and Operant conditioning. Classical conditioning is how you learn naturally and progressively. You know fire is hot because it burned you. Operant conditioning is taught and programmed like wearing your mask and using hand sanitizer. To make their conditioning effective they used excessive advertising. Their advertising was mainly psychological – there’s something about seeing a beautiful woman that you absolutely have no chance with drink Coca-Cola, it makes you do things, it appeals to subconscious urges and desires. Coca-Cola utilized Billboards, other print, radio and TV for their campaigns, it was widespread. Distribution was also key, it needed to be available everywhere, that way it would be credible. They trademarked their brand and perfected their secret recipe. They could have achieved their 2 trillion goals years ago but they ran into some trouble over the years like changing the secret recipe but they recovered – business is never linear. Still they are well on their way.

A successful mastermind alliance needs smart and intelligent people who can plan and forecast the future. It needs big picture thinking. It needs a lot of enthusiasm and capital deployment, money is important because without it, you can’t do much. It needs reflective thinkers, analytical thinkers, practical thinkers whose ideas are grounded in reality. Ultimately business is a team sport, whoever has the best team, best game-plan and capital has a big advantage. There must be good chemistry, confidence, trust and hard work.
