Join thousands of founders receiving my newsletter, The Scaling Journal, for free: https://www.mattc.com/newsletter/You only need one funnel to hit $10M+ per year. Not five pages, not an email sequence, not a lead magnet... ONE page.I've built two businesses with over $200 million in sales each, and both of them ran on a single funnel. In this video I break down exactly what that funnel looks like, and the page format that works so well because your customers don't feel like they're being sold to at all.What's covered:- Why every step you add to a funnel is a step where you lose people- The 3-step vs. 2-step vs. 1-step funnel (and the price point where each one makes sense)- Why lead capture is costing you buyers instead of creating them- The rule I never break: never let a customer buy just one- Why up to 70% of a customer's lifetime value arrives on the first order- How to build an offer people act on immediately (discount structure, bonuses, and honest scarcity)- Pre-purchase and post-purchase upsells — set up once, paid forever- The $800M ad agency trick: the more facts you tell, the more you sell- How to build a guarantee that removes the risk your customer actually cares about- The exact page format — from the Book of Lists to BuzzFeed to the pages quietly building billion-dollar brands right nowWhether you're doing $100K a year or $50M, this is the simplest version of the machine.What's the one step you're going to delete from your funnel first?

Apply for the Value Engine Protocol: https://mattc.com/growthI was a troubled teenager in Houston doing and selling drugs. Today I'm a multi-millionaire founder and chairman who's built businesses that have created billions in value.I didn't get here by hustling harder or working more hours than everyone else. I got here by building six specific systems that do the hard work for me.In this video I'm breaking down all 6.No motivational fluff. No mindset hacks. Just the actual systems I've used to run multiple businesses at once, take one from $17,000 a month to $5 million a month, and stay out of the day-to-day operations of any of them.What you'll learn from this video:- Why doing the hard thing first every single day is the one habit that changes everything- How I batch my week into creator days, admin days, and review days (and why context switching is silently killing your output)- The two-week time audit I use to find where I'm actually wasting hours (and why most operators refuse to do it)- The decision log system that scaled one of my businesses 300x- Why "remove to improve" is the master skill nobody is willing to teach you- The exact weekly rhythm that lets me run multiple 8-figure businesses without hustlingIf you're an entrepreneur who's tired of grinding but suspects there's a smarter way to run your business, this is the video for you.

Discover the exact marketing strategies, funnels, ads, principles, and frameworks I'm using to scale my businesses. Join 80,000+ people receiving my newsletter, The Scaling Journal, for free: https://www.mattc.com/newsletter/Want to scale your ecommerce business and step out of operations? Apply for the Value Engine Protocol: https://mattc.com/growthI grew up as a troubled kid in Houston who felt behind the smart kids in every classroom. Today I own businesses doing over $100 million a year. It's not because I'm smarter or work harder than anyone else. It's because I figured out how to learn faster than most people ever will.In a world where AI gives everyone the same answers, intelligence is commoditized. The real edge is how quickly you can learn something new and use it to make better decisions.In this video I'm breaking down the exact learning system I've used to teach myself value investing (and beat the S&P 500 every year I've done it), scale a coffee brand from $17,000 a month to $5 million a month, and pick up entirely new skills in weeks that most people take years to build.No gimmicks. No hacks. Just the real process I use.What you'll learn from this video:- Why finding the RIGHT person to learn from matters more than reading more books- How to read books the way Charlie Munger did (most people are doing it backwards)- The "forced recall" technique that makes information actually stick- The decision log system that scaled one of my businesses 300x- Why judgment and self-criticism are silently killing your learning speed- The specific way I decide what's worth learning deeply vs. what to skimIf you're an operator, founder, or investor who's tired of consuming endless content without getting sharper this is for you! This is the video I wish I could’ve watched when I was younger.

Get the blueprint to build a business that runs without you, following the same model that created Buffett and Munger's $1T company, Berkshire Hathaway: https://mattc.com/replace/Discover the exact marketing strategies, funnels, ads, principles, and frameworks I'm using to scale my businesses. Join 80,000+ people receiving my newsletter, The Scaling Journal, for free: https://www.mattc.com/newsletter/In 1972, Charlie Munger convinced Warren Buffett to do something he swore he'd never do: pay a premium for a candy company. That $25 million decision to buy See's Candies went on to generate over $2 billion in profit, and it taught Berkshire a lesson they used again on Coca-Cola and Apple, turning those into $31 billion and $100 billion wins.The thing behind all three? A mental model.I've used the same mental models to generate over $500 million in sales across my own businesses, and billions in sales for other people's. In this video, I break down the four that made the biggest difference.You'll learn:Cloning: why repeating what already works (in your business and your life) beats inventing from scratch, and how it drove roughly 80% of my successIncentives: the lever Munger said he spent his whole life underestimating, and how I used it to win a market I entered late+ The two remaining mental models I use to make faster, smarter decisions with less riskReal examples from my own life building two brands past $200M in sales, plus how Sam Walton used the same first principle to build WalmartIf you want to think more clearly and move faster in business, these four mental models are the place to start.New videos every week on building, scaling, and simplifying your business.

Join thousands of founders receiving my newsletter, The Scaling Journal, for free: https://www.mattc.com/newsletter/Are AI Facebook ads already dead?A friend messaged me saying Meta was charging him more to show his AI-generated ads. So I pulled our own numbers — over $100,000 in Facebook ad spend from just the last week, in a business that spends around $1 million a month on marketing — and compared our AI ads against everything else we run.Here's what I found, and how I think about building ads that actually scale, with or without AI.In this video:- What our $100K in spend actually showed about AI ad performance-The Ad Diversity Grid: persona, angle, and format (and why most people start with the wrong one)- How to find your real buyer personas by mining reviews (yours or your competitors)- Why your customers are your best copywriters- The AI ad formats that ACTUALLY work: image ads, VSLs, and animated visualization- The one AI ad format I think is going to get people sued over the next few years- The gold standard nobody wants to hear: real, unpaid customer testimonials- Why you should start with image ads before you touch videoI've been doing this for 17 years and we spend millions every quarter on marketing. AI hasn't changed what makes an ad work... it's changed how fast you can make and test them.--DISCLAIMER This video is for educational purposes only. Results vary and are not typical.
