we are out here in the streets of Austin

Texas I've got a brand new book dropping

called million dooll weekend now I can

going to happen in the book and how you

can change your life in 48 hours but

instead today I'm going to prove it to

you so I've come out here to follow the

book from zero to finish in the next 48

hours to see if I can make

$2,733 in 48 hours which is a million

bucks a year if I can do that daily and

I let y'all on Twitter and social media

choose the business ideas that I'm going

to do so let's see what we can do and

how we can change our lives in the next

48 hours and I'm going to prove it to

you let's go as part of the book two of

the main challenges in the beginning are

asking for a dollar ideally from someone

you know and the coffee challenge

they're all about getting started and

the power of asking so I've got a dollar

right here and what I'm going to be

doing is asking people on the streets if

they'll invest in my business that I'm

starting and give me a dollar so we're

going to go do that I got a challenge to

ask strangers to invest $1 in me you

guys think you'd give me a dollar invest

demmo PayPal good luck okay thank you

guys so much ma'am we're following this

book million dollar weekend for no no no

we're just launching our book million

dooll weekend and one of the challenges

is to ask people for a dollar

all right thank you so much I'm reading

this book million doll weekend and one

of the challenges I'm supposed to do is

ask people to invest a dollar in my new

business I don't know yet but I'm

supposed to just ask a dollar as a

practice it's part of the book you don't

have a business not yet what kind of

business you think I should start so

crack

you're sell crack is the business idea

rejected but it's okay we're asking it's

actually kind of fun now just getting

more rejections I have a book coming out

called million dooll weekend and the

first part of the book is to ask people

people for a dollar generally people you

know not not strangers on the street

will you Veno me sure oh wow thank you

so much you're welcome oh my God she

sent the

dollar that's super cool she sent a buck

so we are going to go do the coffee

challenge which is asking for 10% off

getting rejected realizing it's not so

bad and that's the power of asking

getting a little uncomfortable getting a

little rejected and just moving forward

hello sir hi can I order with you sure

uh

it's uh uh to go to go can I do one for

try to rib Taco please do you think on

the order I could get 10% off

um hey oh I was just asking if I get 10%

off the

order I don't really have a good

reason okay thanks got one taco no 10%

off and he he asked me like hey why

should I give you a discount and I was

like I don't know I don't have a good

reason he's like yeah no discount I was

like all right great have a great day

after getting a dollar and completing

the coffee chall challenge it was time

to head back home and bring life to some

of the ideas that you my subscribers

suggested on social media here's what we

got to do we got to go through all the

different business ideas y all sent I'm

going to pick a few of them to validate

we need to make sure it's a

million-dollar opportunity to make sure

you can make your million bucks secondly

what's your one minute business model to

see how do the economics of my business

work and then we're going to go get some

customers in a few of the different

validation ways so went to Instagram

YouTube and X or Twitter whatever you

call it and I let y'all suggest all the

business ideas I should be checking out

and doing in the next 48 hours

newsletter business a little too easy so

I don't want to do that something local

all right all right I'll put that on the

list Art Gallery okay now let's look at

Twitter and some of these other ideas

printing on t-shirts Austin Taco

tour this is a funny one hamster

daycare that's just funny let's take

this hamster one for instance and put in

the word hamster and I specifically like

looking at the Last 5 Years cuz I'm

looking for Trends over time so hamster

seems okay but if hamster was like on

the up and up I'm like like okay that's

interesting now let's just put cat and

you can see gigantic compared to hamster

unfortunately to all my hamster people

out there you know I love you exit out

and I don't even see anything even

showing closely uh that there's going to

be an opportunity in here so one of the

things I saw as a suggestion was lawn

care one of the best ways to start a

business is solve your own problem but

instead of going and building and having

a solution looking for a problem let's

make sure a lot of people have this

problem first looking on Google trends

for lawn care the market is not dying

but if you look up like lawn mower a

lawn care it actually has been growing

especially with Co a lot more people are

like I'm just going to do this myself so

it's promising that it's not dying but

at least lawn care it's pretty flat or

if not a little bit up if you look up

people searching lawnmowers and Lawn

Care uh on Facebook it's 14 million and

23 million respectively and there's a

ton of YouTube channels out there with

millions of views of people doing Lawn

Care hopefully we can pull up one of

those videos and just show it right here

I even watch some of those they're super

super interesting obviously doing oneoff

lawn mowing is going to be really hard

looking up on screen now if we change it

subscriptions and I sell a thousand of

them and then there's cost of fuel rent

transporting my lawn more maybe I'm just

pushing it around that neighborhood but

that would be kind of awkward um I'll

make about $880 per sale now with that I

only need to sell ,100 households to

make a million bucks I'm going to go

around to my neighborhood out here in

Austin Texas and see if I can sell any

Lawn Care let's go now we're going to

have Noah's Lawn Care Green House Green

Home Green Lawns you want great Lawns

come to Noah k against lawn care we're

going to go door too and see if we can

validate this

business not hi I'm your neighbor I live

down on down the street we're we're

looking at starting maybe a lawn care

business right is that something that

you guys uh how do you feel about your

current Lawn Care my H La I don't

have okay nice I love your guys house

thank you okay thank you guys so

much that's a big

dog hi I your neighbor no I live on good

we're doing a documentary trying to

start a lawn care business I was curious

how you feel about your

lawn not done it do you ever have you

guys ever paid for someone to do it no

there since September and um he he

doesn't

with cuz he doesn't really don't have

much La deot yeah well my my my yard

down south is much bigger oh for that

house I'm starting a lawn care business

uh how do you feel about your current

Lawn Care uh it's solid it's it's

expensive how much is your normal Lawn

Care $50 per service $50 so you pay and

how often you get a service twice a

month so you pay $1,200 a year yes would

make it a no-brainer for you to consider

switching Lawn

Care uh if someone were more proactive

and I had had to spend less time

thinking about it and asking for it it

was just I have your number thank you

for stopping by most people seem to have

annoyance of it but they don't have

enough pain to really make a switch

they're not immediately excited to give

me their money and that is what you're

looking for I think we should go try to

find a different type of business to

start let's find something that could be

easier going back to Twitter Youtube

Instagram and all the different business

ideas one of the ones that was most

popular by far was software based on

software I'll tell you one of the things

on my credit card bill that annoys the

hell out of me is DocuSign or hello sign

I hate paying a subscription for this

basic ass sofware where I send a

document someone else signs it and they

just send it back to me no thank you so

now let's put that through the same

million dollar weekend process to see

how big is the market can this actually

become a million dollar business and

then let's go validate it if that's the

case so if we go on Google Trends and we

and we search signed documents online

documents digital documents you can see

this Market is actually growing

consistently over the past 5 years ding

ding ding ding ding that is what we're

looking for so there's join who is the

biggest competitor out there they're

worth $1

billion if we sell this for life just

like appsumo does and you can buy on

other places but higher at

$100 that's only 10,000 people thank you

guys for all the suggestions let's see

what we can do in the next 48 hours

excited to see what you can do in the 48

Hours one thing to think about in your

own businesses is like who's the ideal

customer obviously people who sent me

Doc assign super ideal the other thing

to think about is who is in your zone of

influence so I have a lot of people

people like my accountant like my

financial planner like people who've

done other agency work for me in the

past that I put them on the list cuz I'm

like well these are the Target customers

and I've already paid these people so

maybe they'll be a little bit easier to

talk to versus this woman who I don't

know from a WhatsApp group it was time

to start calling and texting people in

my circle of influence who had sent me

doca signs in the past the first I

called was Kayla who sent me a doc sign

when I purchased a plane with one of my

best

friends a time I was curious are you

still using docy sign today we are and

so if we had an alternative for you that

was easier to use would you be open to

something like that it would be open

just today only we're taking some beta

deposits is that something you want to

venmo PayPal Bitcoin send us today as a

deposit which is fully refundable sure

yeah oh cool do you want more than two

or just

two next I tried calling my wealth

manager what would it make a no-brainer

for you to consider testing something

else out

uh if I didn't have to do the research

to figure out if if it's approved by our

regulator is that something you consider

testing an alternative yeah let me send

you like an invoice link sure on the

screen I basically I'm just going

through my list of people and every

person that's giving me feedback I'm

writing kind of like what they're doing

what they hate about the current product

what things they like about it they're

literally telling me what to build I

don't want to say hey I'm going to be

SEC compliant I don't know if we can but

I don't want to say no right now

especially early on I do think it's

important to get paid and see sa if you

get paid from your ideas it does seem

like so many people are willing to

switch out versus Lawn Care ain't no one

switching me to to know as lawn care so

I'm going to keep hustling on more

people to talk to we were off to an

amazing start and to my surprise more

sales started to come in we're looking

to get some beta customers today uh and

it' be fully refundable it's $100 for

life sure I'll do that seriously is

venmo cool or what what do you like to

use sure yeah work I switched my

strategy to call people I knew who ran

agencies or were service providers with

teams so that I could sell multiple

seats of my product nice yeah can't sign

me up oh yeah can I send you like venmo

or what's easiest for you yeah however

yeah makes the most sense however I had

less than 24 hours and time was running

down very quickly and the challenge was

becoming a lot more difficult Steve Chu

said he can't even talk see I told you

Steve Chu would reject and recording

that said Steve y man hey working on new

idea can I call you five can't talk to D

for next week I wanted to see Mom do you

you ever do you ever do digital

signatures do are what she has no idea

what the hell the the software is even

about just got another rejection so Josh

who does our Tik Tok said

no your call has been forwarded to an

automatic we're at $1,700 give or take

and I need $1,000 more in an hour at

this point I had to take a walk um I'm

tired there's going to be a moment that

you're going to be a little tired or

frustrated because someone said no or

didn't go what you wanted or what you

expected talking about myself

too and so in that moment take a break

that's okay the thing about million

dollar weekend it's not about you're

going to make the million dollars

instantly and not every business is

going to work but it's that you have a

process you can do it again and again

and again even though I was drained I

decided to give it one last push aan

just texted he's the old CEO of appsumo

he said Count Me In Eric is going to do

500 for five licenses so this guy Dan is

someone we hired at absum months ago Dan

said I'm down sounds awesome amazing I'm

going to send you a quick venm mode just

for The Hundreds as we get going we're

trying to just close it out today just

the early adopters yeah for sure man

dude you're the man as you know our goal

was to hit $2,700 in 48 hours and prove

that the million dooll weekend framework

actually works so did we do it we have I

think almost $3,000 we got a few dollars

from yesterday it I'm tired like I'm

proud of myself cuz I worked hard and it

was something that I wanted and you feel

good and that's this moment the point is

that it may not work right away and

that's why we practice asking that's why

we practice starting that's why we

practice asking for feedback seeing if

people want to give you money and then

if they do great if they don't you have

another weekend that you can go do it

and it doesn't matter that I've been

doing this for a long ass time or you're

just getting started like you can do

this too and I promise you with 52

weekends you will eventually find

something for yourself and for others

that works and should be a fun thing if

you're doing this and you're like damn

this sucks and no one wants it great

let's find something they do want and

then when you finally start doing that

it will feel like this and you'll have a

lot of success with doing it if you love

this video and you want your own million

dooll weekend you can now grab a copy of

the book wherever it sold it just came

out I'm so excited for you think about

this if you could become a millionaire

and change your life in the next 48

hours would you now you can million

dooll weekend I look forward to seeing

you reading it and taking action tag me

at Noah Kagan wherever you're reading

this book I look forward to seeing your

success I love you and I'll see you out

there pew pew
