In this episode, I explore why audience growth is the lifeblood of scalable success. I illustrate this with the remarkable example of Alex Hormozi—whose “$100 M Money Models” launch drew over 1 million registrants and delivered tens of millions in revenue. From there, I introduce three powerful strategies—collaborations, summits, and bundles—and share actionable insights and real‑world examples to help you expand your impact quickly. Throughout the episode, my message is clear: you must be intentional and proactive in building your audience. By embracing strategic collaborations, leveraging the concentrated exposure of summits, and crafting high-value bundles, you’ll put yourself in a strong position to grow purposefully and sustainably.

Key Takeaways from the Episode

Why Audience Growth Matters

A substantial and engaged audience is the foundation for launching high-impact projects and scaling business revenue (e.g., Alex Hermozi's $100M launch).

Strategy 1: Collaborations & Partnerships

Join forces with complementary creators or businesses to tap into new audiences.

Cross-promotion grows reach while lending authority.

Partnering allows shared resources, content co-creation, and collaborative momentum. Strategy 2: Hosting & Joining Summits

Summits provide concentrated exposure to highly engaged communities.
Being a presenter or participant increases credibility and positions you as a thought leader.
Offers opportunities for deeper engagement, follow-up funnels, and content repurposing.

Strategy 3: Bundles

Bundling courses, products, or services creates compelling offers that attract broader audiences.
Strategic bundling enhances perceived value and promotes cross-selling.
Bundles can also be promotional partnerships—pairing your offer with others for mutual growth.

Overarching Principles

Be strategic: Choose collaborations, summits, and bundles that align with your brand and audience.
Be proactive: Don’t wait for ideal partners—reach out, propose, and create opportunities.
Be intentional: Plan each growth strategy with clear goals and execution pathways.

Transcript

Alex Hormozi's last launch pulled in over a hundred million, and yes, his content and his strategy were brilliant. However, none of it would've worked without his audience. You can't scale a business without having people to sell to. And the truth is your audience growth can't be passive. It has to be strategic, and it has to be something that you actively do. And unfortunately, just putting a post up every few weeks about a lead magnet is not gonna cut it. So in today's episode, I'm sharing three proven ways in which you can grow your list faster. Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Your Dream Business Podcast. How are you doing? At the point I'm recording this, I spent the weekend and I'm laughing 'cause this is embarrassing. I spent the weekend watching Alex Hormozi's launch and basically like writing pages of notes, pulling it all apart, doing my own debrief, working out what worked and like what the strategies he was that he used and, and I'm going to probably do an episode where I talk about what he did 'cause it was fascinating. And it was interesting actually, and I didn't, I wasn't gonna go down this side quest, [00:02:00] but lots of people were talking about it online and I felt a little bit like, oh, do people think I'm jumping on this bandwagon? The truth is, I watch people's launches all at the time. And just because his was so massive was probably the reason why people were more interested that I was watching it and also lots of other people were watching it. But at the point of watching his, I was also watching someone else's launch. And when I say watching, I literally, look at how many emails they're saying sending, what are they saying in their emails? What do their landing pages look like? What are their bonuses? What is, you know, if I can watch the live webinar or if I can watch the replay, I go and watch the replay. I look at what slides they use. Like I do this a lot because this is the stuff I teach and I am. Well, one, totally fascinated by it and love this stuff, and I'm a geek and I totally geek out on it. But two, this is how I'm so good at what I do because it's not just a case of like, I did a course on how to do this and now I [00:03:00] know how to do it. That's not the case. I am a marketer by trade and by history. I understand the psychology and the marketing that goes into this stuff, and I constantly watch what other people are doing, so I'm constantly testing things myself. I am. Doing it in practice. And I am really going down side route here now because this makes me think of something else. I was thinking the other week about AI and how AI will take over lots of people's businesses or you know, roles. And I was thinking why would someone or what can I offer that AI can't in terms of what I do? And AI doesn't know what it's like to sit and wait to do a webinar and worry that no one will turn up. AI doesn't have the experience that. Me and maybe you if this might apply to you, has, you know, we know what it's like to do the thing that we are doing. This isn't just theory. We can get our [00:04:00] own results because we're actually doing it. AI can't. So, like I said, for me. Watching other people's launches is not something I just did because it was fashionable, because it was Alex Hormozi and lots of people were talking about it. I was watching it because I watch all launches and I literally have folders on my computer of various massive people's launches. And the breakdown of it and what worked and what didn't and all that. So anyway, but the reason I share all of this is Alex, in his launch, made over a hundred million dollars. I can't even, like, I wouldn't even know how to write that down. I dunno how that looks. That is an insane amount of money. Now. Would I like to make a hundred million dollars? No. I could honestly hand on heart and say, no, I don't wanna make a hundred million dollars. I would happily earn more than I'm earning now. And, and that's in my plan. So I want you to know I'm not saying this because I'm going right everyone, let's make a hundred [00:05:00] million dollars. I mean, if you want to. Awesome. Like, great, let's go for it. But I'm not saying it because it's the amount of money. I'm not interested in having a business that big because that is a beast, right? Well, it's more than a beast. The reason I'm saying and bringing this up and how much he made was because that was only possible. Because of one main thing. Now, don't get me wrong, he used very cool strategies. He did lots of other stuff, which like I said, I, I'm probably gonna do an episode about and break down the 10 psychological and marketing strategies he used. However, the one thing that if he hadn't have had this, it would never have succeeded, is an audience. He has a massive audience. ...
