The Performance Doctor: You Are Doing It Wrong
A Lesson from Alex Hormozi and Social Media
New Cosmetic Dry Needling Course To Come in the FALL
This weekend I had the task of smoking my first set of ribs.
If you’ve never smoked food in the past, let me tell you. It’s a game of patience, timing and preparation. Just like business.
I like YouTube—more than TV nowadays.
There’s just so much you can learn on YouTube if you know who to follow, and what to search.
As usual, when I am doing something outside I tend to just listen to a few short episodes of whatever plays.
It just so happened that every single episode on Sunday had the following theme:
You Are Doing It Wrong?
From growing on social media, starting a business, reaching out to customers, creating your offer, etc.
It seems that EVERYONE is doing it wrong.
While at first I was like “yeah, makes sense…”
After the third show stating the same claim.
It became very obvious.
There’s no one way of doing things perfect in business.
Sure, there are some “better” ways to grow your following, capture the initial attention, and so on, but are they engaged with you or in your offer?
I just saw a friend of mine break the 35K followers on IG with their health content.
That’s a lot of followers.
But…they are only getting 20-40 likes, 10 comments and maybe a couple of shares in their content.
From the outside it appears as the audience is not fully engaged in the content.
Oh, yes. Before you ask… no this wasn’t just a single post. It was the majority of the last 30 posts.
Are people just simply following them because they are good looking? Is their content not engaging? Are they generating enough revenue?
It makes you wonder.
On the other hand, one of our past students has amassed an amazing 1,400 followers. Yet, every time they post, they have 30-40 comments on their posts and more than a handful of shares.
From the outside it appears as their audience is engaged with their content.
From experience, I can tell you that an engaged audience is more than likely to purchase than an unengaged audience.
Are You Really Doing It Wrong?.
This is not an easy answer.
Are you having fun building your business, you are exponentially growing, you rarely post on social but have a thriving community around you?
Then by my standards, you are doing it right.
Are you burning out by trying to capture content, create content and post content all the time, only to get one or two followers, zero sales and struggle month to month?
Then by my standards… yes. You are doing it wrong.
Last week, we talked about trends.
While you can use trends to grow, you also have to consider these are short-lived strategies. If you don’t capitalize on them early, they can harm you more than others.
Hormozi capitalized on his “free information” approach and continues to capitalize in his SKOOL community.
Whether you like or hate the guy, he’s doing something right.
or is he doing something wrong?
For his business, he did something amazing. However, for the rest of the business world, he changed the perspective.
7/10 business owners have heard of the name Hormozi.
50% business owners have watched/listened/read Hormozi’s books.
100% of those have implemented the strategies of Hormozi’s offer creation.
But social media is saying: “the world is now sensitized to these type of grandiose offers.”
“These Hormozi offers are not selling like they used to. The game is changing.”
But is it?
No.
It’s not.
Hormozi simply packaged information that has been around for over 50 years in a different format—it worked for him, and it can work for you if you have
The right offer for your niche/audience
The right message for your audience
The right result for your audience
Yes. Social media is making it more challenging to target the right audience with organic growth… but it’s not impossible.
Before we even get into targeting your audience you have to make sure your offer is unique.
Here are the 5 steps Hormozi uses to create a unique offer:
✅ Step 1: Get Crystal Clear on the Dream Outcome
Ask:
What does my ideal customer really want, not just what I sell?
🔹 Speak to the emotional and measurable result
🔹 Focus on the transformation, not the tool
Example:
Instead of “mobility rehab sessions,” say:
“Return to squatting pain-free in 30 days without needing surgery.”
✅ Step 2: Stack the Value — Not the Price
Use the Value Equation:
(Dream Outcome × Believability) / (Time Delay × Effort)
🔹 Add bonuses, tools, checklists, or done-for-you elements
🔹 Use testimonials, guarantees, or proof to increase believability
🔹 Remove or minimize anything that slows the result
Example Value Stack:
1:1 Rehab Consult ($200)
6-Week Return-to-Performance Plan ($400)
Progress Tracker App Access ($100)
Mobility Toolkit ($50)
30-Day No Pain Guarantee (Priceless)
Total Value: $750
Your Offer: $299
✅ Step 3: Build in Urgency & Scarcity
People act when they feel like they’ll miss out.
🔹 Add limited spots, limited time, or early bird bonuses
🔹 Use countdowns, enrollment deadlines, or “next 3 only” copy
Example:
“Only 7 athletes accepted into this round. Deadline: Friday 8 PM.”
✅ Step 4: Reduce Risk with a Strong Guarantee
Think: What risk is stopping them from saying yes? Remove it.
🔹 Offer guarantees based on performance, satisfaction, or results
🔹 Reframe it as confidence, not desperation
Example:
“If you don’t feel 50% better in 30 days, I’ll work with you free until you do.”
*Careful here. Make sure you can deliver on your Guarantee.
✅ Step 5: Name and Frame It Like a Movement
People want to join a mission, not buy a service.
🔹 Give your offer a name that evokes a result
🔹 Position it as a framework or system, not random sessions
Examples:
“The AntiFragile Athlete Framework” — My offer at The Athlete Spot
“The Bulletproof Hip Protocol”
“The 28-Day Fix Your Back Challenge”
Finally, here are three questions your offer should answer with a hard YES:
Three Questions to Assess Your Offer.
This only works, if you have already figured out who your target audience is.
These answer should be an easy YES to all three. Not 2/3… ALL THREE.
Would my target client feel stupid saying no?
Does this solve ONE urgent problem clearly?
Is it easy to say yes, and hard to regret?
