Rule 01 · Where To Start

Start Where The Money Already Moves

“A market with nobody spending in it is not an opening. It is just a market nobody wants. If the money is already moving, you only have to be better at one thing.”

Thomas Marmol

Rule 02 · Why People Buy

A Purchase Is Wanting Minus Paying

“Nobody buys because they want it. They buy when wanting it beats the pain of handing the money over.”

Thomas Marmol

Stanford read the decision in a brain scanner in 2007, before the button was pressed.

Rule 03 · What Counts As Proof

Count It Before You Copy It

“One person doing it is a story. Fifteen out of a hundred doing it is a rule. I write down the case against it before I write down the case for it.”

Thomas Marmol

Rule 04 · How To Test It

The Pass Line Gets Written First

“Ideas are free. A cheap test is the skill. Find the one belief the whole thing rests on and write down what would count as a yes before you run it.”

Thomas Marmol
