Hi! My name is Cody Burch

The most expensive view in Florence.

Published 21 days ago • 1 min read

"10% of your audience will pay 10x the price for 10x the experience."

We experienced that tonight, first hand, in Florence.

I'm not a big drinker, but when we are in Italy, we do as the Italians do.

We're on day 3/5 of our trip to Florence with my parents, and tonight's adventure found us on a swanky rooftop bar overlooking the city.

On one side was the Duomo, a towering Renaissance-era Cathedral.

On the other side was the Arno River.

It was a small hotel bar on the 6th floor, and the sun was starting to set.

Honestly? It was like we were sitting in a postcard.

We all sipped drinks and snacked on almonds until it was time to leave for dinner.

Then the check came.

I missed a little detail on the price: €35 per drink. 😮

Earlier today I noticed a dollar store where you could get a drink for €0.99.

Many places will sell you a spritz for €7.

But €35???

I mean, it was tasty, but was it €35 tasty?

Then I remembered the saying above.

Some people will always pay more if you enhance their experience.

I could sip a dollar beer in an alleyway by myself...

Or enjoy a drink overlooking the river as the sun sets for 35x the price.

Remember this when you price out your next offer.

Add a super premium option and see if you get any takers.

10x the experience.

10x the price.

You got this,

A year ago today, I hosted my first live event after getting fired 6 months prior. I called it "List Build & Launch" and it was held at a boutique hotel here in Colorado Springs. But a few weeks before the event I almost canceled it. Why? I only had 14 people signed up. By the time the event kicked off, I was down to 12 people. I used to get really disappointed when I didn't have the numbers I wanted. Everyone wants more leads, sales, customers, webinar registrants, and event attendees,...

A few years back, I joined a YouTube coaching program. I learned the best day of the week to post your video... The optimal length of your video (including the frequency of "cuts")... The perfect lighting and framing of your video... ...The prescribed volume, cadence, and rhythm of posting on YouTube. And then... I did nothing. I got overwhelmed. I felt bad that my video was 7 minutes (too short, apparently) and not 12 minutes ("perfect", allegedly) I was embarrassed to have cuts happening...

When I first started my online business, I tried and failed to make my mark as a "funnel guy." I was like a Diet Coke Russell Brunson. A Kirkland Signature Ryan Deiss. A "Dr. Thunder" Dan Kennedy. I had a hard time differentiating myself in a crowded marketplace. I couldn't find a unique hook which meant I had to work harder than normal to get clients. Everything felt like a grind... It was like I was pushing a boulder up a hill. So when I returned online in Jan '23, I knew I had to find a...
