  • Elon Musk, Ivan, Mariana and The American Dream

    Elon Musk, Ivan, Mariana and The American Dream
    Nov 21 2024

    What if tomorrow you were on a path to double your revenue, triple your profit, and quadruple your freedom…for the rest of your life.

    Meet Ivan and Mariana Polic: The Visionary and The Fixer.


    They are your quintessential American Entrepreneurial Success Story and Power Couple Dream Team. Born in war-torn Serbia. Ivan, a former professional soccer star and aeronautical engineer and Mariana, a recovering “farm girl” turned successful journalist met for a tv interview after a soccer game.

    They married and fled Serbia during the Bosnian War to take over Ivan’s father’s multi-million dollar aeronautical business in America.

    This was Ivan and Mariana’s opportunity for a new and better life.

    But when their business’ revenue dropped by 97% overnight, they were crippled with anxiety. They needed a solution, and they needed it fast. Through sheer grit and determination, they refused to give-in to potential failure. And that is how Shift Intelligence was created. Through careful analysis and persistence, they built a replicable system to reinvent and rebuild their business from the inside out. They systemized everything: how they managed people, their systems and processes, and how to close the sales they needed to keep their business alive.

    As a result, they 2X their revenue, 3X their income, and 4X their freedom.
    They made an eight-figure exit, were paid upfront, and was done in six-days.

    Building the Bridge from East to West: How to Engage, Connect and Partner with 1 Billion Muslim Entrepreneurs
    Oct 27 2024
    “I was told I didn't matter, that my only value was in being a good wife and “Achi-Bachi.” But I refused to accept that.

Jamali is a mission and movement to bring freedom and purpose to Muslim women around the globe; to empower them to break free of the chains of societal and cultural oppression, and step into leadership – for their family, community, and businesses.”Meet Eram Saaed, the world's #1 coach for Professional Muslim women, a catalyst for change, empowerment, abundance and connection bridged by Islamic principles with modern leadership.Born in Pakistan, she was raised in a culture where women’s voices don’t matter and are expected to be silent and submissive. After two failed marriages, physical and emotional abuse, and being financially bankrupt, Eram hit rock bottom.

Today, Eram is trusted by and has impacted over 23 million Muslim women worldwide, empowering them to balance faith and freedom. With her daughter Natasha by her side, they offer guidance, tools, accountability, and support to help them achieve clarity, purpose, courage, dignity, self-love, justice, abundance, and freedom bridged with faith.Welcome to the movement.Abundance creates peace.The Jamali Method focuses on three foundations: Jamali Freedom helps you find clarity, confidence and independence regardless of past obstacles and adversity.

  • Ai Multi-Channel Marketing Secrets

    Ai Multi-Channel Marketing Secrets
    Oct 2 2024


    What takes 7 hours, 11 touch points, and 4 channels?

    Converting your ideal client.

    Joe Stolte, CEO of Daily Ai, started his career with Fortune 100 companies, like Microsoft, and gained unparalleled insights into what compels customers to buy.
    After that, he made three highly successful exits, and now runs an Ai driven email and digital marketing platform called Daily Ai.

    Daily Ai uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to learn how to talk to your client about what they actually want to hear about. This makes it easier to hit those engagement markers faster, and more efficiently.

    Key Takeaways:

    1. Daily AI's core philosophy is "outcomes over outputs" - focus on achieving real business results for clients.


    2. The platform uses adaptive learning to tailor newsletter content based on subscriber behavior and engagement, not just what brands think subscribers want.


    3. Daily Ai has high open rates (40-60%) and sends millions of emails daily across 37+ industries.


    4. Best practices for email marketing:

    - Free book offers tend to perform well due to low friction

    - The second position in newsletters often gets the best click-through rates,

    - Ads further down in newsletters get fewer but higher quality clicks

    - Friday is generally the worst day for email opens

    - 4-7am Eastern time works well for international audiences


    5. The "7-11-4 rule" for marketing: It takes about 7 hours of interaction across 11 touchpoints on 4 different platforms to convert a cold prospect.


    6. Daily AI is expanding beyond newsletters to create a "digital smart response marketing system" that will personalize messaging across multiple channels.


    7. The ideal customer for Daily Ai:

    - Has a list of 1000+ subscribers

    - Has an existing, profitable product/service

    - Limited time or team for marketing

    - Growth-minded and wants to improve marketing

    - Willing to curate third-party content


    8. Daily Ai is adding more personalization features, including one-to-one segmentation and automated personalized messaging based on subscriber behavior.


    9. Daily Ai integrates with various marketing tools and can help optimize ad targeting on platforms like Facebook and Google.
