Building a profitable business by keeping it simple
SPEAKER_02On today's episode, we are interviewing Parbath Bandera, and he walks us through how he has stumbled into system.io, but has now become his entire business, and how it has literally changed everything about how he is approaching funnels, how he's providing value with funnels, with his Facebook community. He talks about keeping it simple, keeping it streamlined, and let's not overcomplicate things by adding more tools than you actually need to be profitable. So let's dive into today's episode with Perbroth. Welcome back to another success story with system.io. I have my friend here. We're going to be diving into how he got started with system.io and how it's scaling from a hobby and maybe into a full-time job here. So welcome to the podcast, Perbroth. We're so excited to hear everything you got to share about system.io today.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, sure. Thank you so much for having me. And yeah, I'm really glad. Allow to share the story.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And so uh anyone listening, if you don't know, there is a very active Facebook group. Uh system.io has over 200,000 people in it, I believe. It is growing exponentially. And before I saw your name on the list, I saw you in the Facebook group. So very, very active inside of organic Facebook, really giving value, helping people build out funnels, not just as a funnel builder, but as a fun funnel strategist. I want to make sure I add that. And so before we dive into what led you to funnels and system.io, could you give everyone kind of you know the cliff notes version of how you got started with digital marketing, funnels before system.io landed in your lap?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, sure.
My journey into the sales funnel rabbit hole
SPEAKER_01So it's kind of like uh interesting story, right? So in 2018, I guess, uh you know, everyone is searching on uh Google, YouTube, uh how to make money online, right? So back then dropshipping was really huge, and everyone was kind of selling uh digital, kind of not digital, uh selling products from China to everyone using different platforms, right? So I was uh trying to do that, and there was a guy, uh he was using the word funnel in his videos. Sometimes he tells oh I I funnel people to this and that, right? So then I didn't know what's a funnel or anything. So then I started to Google and uh YouTube about what's a funnel and what it does. Uh other than that, I I knew about websites, uh, but funnels was a whole new thing. So when I deep dive into it, I knew that uh it's kind of more effective and it's it was super interesting to me because uh we can build more creative strategies with funnels, not like a website, right? Yes. That's how it started actually. Then I start to learn more, search more, and then eventually I uh went so deep in that rabbit hole.
The 'aha' moment that changed my business forever
SPEAKER_02I love that. I love that. So drop shipping, people kept throwing terms out. I still see that today. Well, they're they'll drop out acronyms or something very general, and you forget that you're so far ahead of someone else that they don't even know what a basic funnel may be. So when you went down the rabbit hole, was there any specific aha moment when you discovered funnels and the strategies behind them?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, actually, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Uh when we usually use a website, you know, people come to our site and they can do whatever the thing they want, right? There are menus, there are images, there are uh text, and they just click everywhere, right? But uh I was thinking like, what if I uh want all of them to click this specific button or something like that? So but they don't do that because there are a lot of options, they can do anything, right? So with but with funnels, we can uh uh strategically make them to do that, kind of like the sales copy and graphics, everything we can align them to uh take them step by step uh through that funnel, right? So uh that was my biggest aha moment because then I can uh do whatever the thing I want because yeah, it gives us the freedom to do anything. I love that. I love that, yeah. And so it's crazy, and it's crazy because uh even in 2025 there are some people they don't use funnels in their business, they just know only websites. Yeah, that's crazy.
SPEAKER_00Yes, they should do more research.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, I I love that you brought that up because I I tend to find people trying to explain, educate the difference between funnels, websites. Even uh yesterday I was talking to someone about the difference between a website and a link tree. They thought that a link tree was sufficient for, you know, I was like, no, it's just links. It doesn't, what it what what are you trying to do? Are you gonna build a funnel from one of those links? And there's so much education still, yet we forget if you get so deep into the digital marketing that there's some essentials that you need to do. And so uh speaking of essentials, I know that's one of your big, you know, low-ticket offers that you offer. So before we get there, what led you to system.io's funnel building? Did you maybe hop around with other people first?
SPEAKER_01No, actually, uh back then in 2018, uh first I used WordPress, right? It was the kind of like OG and all the stuff, website building. And then they have a actually I have tried almost every funnel building tools because uh once I found that I was searching uh what other software we can use to build funnels, right? So then I was trying all those uh soft tears, but I found kind of loopholes, mistakes, and kind of uh even uh the founder, Aurelian of Aurelian, uh the founder of System.io. I don't know whether I'm uh sounding his name correct, but he's super humble and uh down to earth guy. I really love him. So I have talked with him actually uh via messenger. Uh wow. Uh yeah, he messaged me one day because I was really active on uh inside the community. So he also mentioned that he he has noticed some kind of loopholes in other soft tears, so then he wanted to create something legit for people, right? So yeah, that's that's how I kind of finally found system.io. Uh and then I was thinking, like, why didn't I find it before? Kind of I was hustling too hard for years, and finally I found the right tool, but I'm glad finally I'm here.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah. And so I I we hear that story often, right? Especially since they're a new kid on the block here, especially here in America, that people are just now seeing it and it's so affordable, and it really is, you know, that all in one. So did you come specifically just for funnels, or was there other things in it that attracted you?
Why I was skeptical of systeme.io at first (and what changed my mind)
SPEAKER_01Uh yeah, funnel was my main thing, right? But there's a reason I want to tell that. Uh System.io was free back then, right? The the main for main plan was free. Uh, most of the time, from my experience, I know that uh free stuff is not so good, right? So I I have heard about system.io, but back then I was thinking like, I'm not gonna try it because because they if they are giving it for free, so uh it might be something kind of like uh their stuff pop up in the internet and get vanished in a few months. So I was kind of doing a mistake back then, right? But after a few months, uh I just gave it a try. I wasn't serious or anything, right? But then I was blown away. I was like complaining myself why I didn't give it a try a few months back. I was based in actually about a year. I I heard about it, but I didn't try it. So that's that was the biggest mistake I made.
SPEAKER_02But I saw yeah, I saw that post. You said about six months you sat on it, not sure. And you're like, man, I left money on the table.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so it was super easy. I I I could know that from the very first glance when I worked with the tool, so it was smooth and no bugs, all worked kind of like yeah, it was amazing. The funnel was the main thing because I was always uh kind of like fascinated with funnels. Uh so that's what uh I bought into the platform, funnels.
SPEAKER_02All right, yeah, and so we're so when we first jumped on, I asked you, I said, you know, from your Facebook posts, which are so so valuable. And you've even said that find your niche. I I watched your YouTube video as well saying, like, find how you create your content. And you've said that writing, writing is really where you know you excel. And I've got to say, I love how you write your things out. Um, you definitely have the three value points very, very clean and clear. And you were saying that system.io has been a hobby thing, like something you make extra money with, yeah. And you are killing it. But you said that it's kind of like kind of taking over. Can you talk about like what you've been doing for clients? Because you have testimonials of funnels you've built for people on your Facebook, but then you also have your own funnel leading people to system.io. Can you kind of break down what you're doing right now with funnels and helping people?
My organic strategy for getting high-level clients on Facebook
The simple funnel that generated $10,000 in affiliate commissions
The low-ticket offer that made over $50,000
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so uh the at the very beginning of my journey, what I did was uh I was helping others with funnels, right? I didn't have anything to sell, so I was selling my time because uh there are people who need help with funnels, they don't know how it works. I was searching about funnels and uh because of that dropshipping thing, I had an uh understanding about how it works, and so then I was uh starting it as a kind of freelancing business, right? Uh so and then what the best thing is, you know, I had I got the chance to work with really high-level people like six, seven, seven figure, uh six and seven-figure influencers and uh marketers, right? Uh it happens kind of like all organically. I didn't do any promo. Uh one person hired me, and then he was like, oh my god, this guy is amazing, and he was referring me to more and more and more people, so they they start to reach out to me. So that's kind of unplanned thing. Eventually I became that funnel guy for them, right? I I didn't plan to do that. So then uh so the best thing is uh they gave me access to their back ends of the business, so then I could see uh what they are doing and what's the strategy they are uh kind of like because it's a secret, right? Everyone is kind of like people have six figure, seven-figure businesses, but no one knows what's happening in the back end, how they automate things, and what's the strategy, how they price, and how they upsell, downsell. So as I'm the funnel guy, I have access to all of those stuff. So so eventually I was helping them. At the same time, I was taking notes and I was learning. Uh so then uh so it's like I had hundreds of materials, kind of like email templates, web files, funnel templates, uh basic converting copies and everything with me. So uh then what I did was uh alright, I want to try something for myself. So then first I try a strategy for a system.io uh affiliate aspect, right? So promoting it as affiliate, that panel was super converting, and it made me more than$10,000. So that was my first award, right? Uh from system.io. Uh and then uh I replicated it and I built another one for a low-ticket toffer, and it made me more than 50k, right? It was kind of like a different strategy, yeah. So that was my second award. Actually, that's the one right here behind me. Uh yeah, so that's how it went. Actually, yeah, it's totally unplanned, but uh I knew that the strategy is gonna work because I have seen that before. And yeah, I was implementing everything kind of uh I had an idea. Uh this is how this thing is gonna work, right? So rather than just uh randomly doing stuff, uh at the same time I feel like I'm blessed because uh when we run a business most of the time we have to outsource things now. But uh I'm good at designing, and at the same time, I I can understand that the smart work part. So I can combine both and uh do things. Uh otherwise we just do design and uh we need someone else to plan the strategies and back end. Or sometimes we are good at the back end, but we are not creative and we can't do that uh visual. Yeah. So yeah, I was combining both of those things, and yeah, it works well.
SPEAKER_02I love that. Yeah, and again, I I you know I try to do my research, and so you talked about the funnel strategist, someone who understands all aspects from the graphic design all the way to the strategies and implementing them. And so you're you is it system essentials? What is that? The your one big low-ticket offer that you kind of help people get to system.io, like through that affiliate conversion, right?
Giving away your best stuff for free leads to more sales
SPEAKER_01Yeah, uh so actually uh that that's the one I built for affiliate aspect. Uh but uh uh but some people are like, oh my god, I need this, but I'm already signed up for system.io, so then what I can do, uh they reach out to me. So then I duplicate the funnel and I create another uh version of it. They can purchase it if they are already on the uh on inside the platform, right? But I never push kind of like uh it also has become something organic. I don't actively every day post in links and asking people, hey, buy this thing. I never do that. So uh they know that there's value. And also uh I was writing content and I was giving away a lot of stuff for free, even funnplates. Uh there are some uh funnels I charge a lot, kind of like I'm doing a lot of works to build, design, write, copy, and all the stuff, but I was giving away for free uh for people because uh they can do something with that. And the best thing is uh once they use it, uh they see the results, so then they are like, all right, uh he gave this for free, but it's still uh making me money, so then uh what about the paid stuff? He's doing so then so it also like being authentic and helping people helps to kind of like you know, we get back what we put in the universe, so it's yeah, it's like that.
SPEAKER_02I love that. I love it. It's the same thing for system.io they give away that one thing free, and you're like, uh well, is it? And then you realize just how value-packed it is that okay, I'll totally go to the high tier. I won't, I want to go all in. And so how do you how do you get people to those other upsells and you know your other products that you have? You know, you so you have your two low tickets, and then I believe you have a Facebook group.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I have one.
SPEAKER_01So uh so the kind of like uh the low ticket of uh is kind of the entry to my world, right? So they they they come in and they see the value, and there are a lot of back-end products, right? Uh I got kind of uh one of uh related to FP organic marketing and also funnel building services. Uh uh so uh actually all those stuff kind of like in it only programs I can tell because uh people reach out to me and ask, hey, I want to buy you other stuff where where I can see them, right? So then I can send them a link. Uh and also uh I I don't spam people with emails, I don't like that, right? There are some people send emails every day, but sometimes uh yeah, it also works, but I don't like to push it that way, right? That's my thing. Uh I I I feel like people are busy, they got their own things, but when if I send in an email to my list, which means that's a must read one because I don't send everyday emails, kind of like once a week, maybe twice a week. Or sometimes I don't send an email for a month, right? But when I send an email, I get a really uh good open rate because they know that I don't spam their inbox with useless tips and tricks and all the stuff, right? So I I have built my business in a way that I can say it's like that's what I expect from someone else when I work with them. So I treat other people the same way. So if I don't like to get a ton of emails in my email inbox, I don't do that for others also. So yeah, so that's uh but basically uh Facebook Messenger and email marketing is my other uh strategies for getting people to my high-ticket offers and back end offers we have. Okay, the low ticket is the entry? Yeah, that's how it works.
SPEAKER_02And so do they is there a vetting process? Like, do they have to buy one of your low tickets to get into the Facebook group? Or is the Facebook?
SPEAKER_01No, no, no, no, it's free. Actually, it's free. Uh there are, I guess, I don't even remember the count of people. There are a lot of people, right? So even when I was joining system.io, they are around less than 100,000, right? I don't remember the number. When when I joined system.io, it was kind of still new, I feel like. Uh so inside my community, I'm always uh sharing all uh stuff related to only system.io. On my profile, I sometimes I write uh kind of like in a generic way that it makes sense to everyone, right? Sometimes they might use in another tool, but then uh when they read my post, uh if they see I'm recommending system me at the end, so they should give it a try. They're gonna do that. But inside my profile, uh inside my Facebook community, I write uh totally focused on the system.io, and I'm providing a ton of value related to uh system. So it's free, anyone can join. Uh actually, I don't push that either. People come and join sometimes, they uh see it somewhere. Yeah, that's how it works.
How to build an advanced 'survey quiz' funnel in systeme.io
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I so uh speaking of like your little offers and inside your Facebook group, you have tutorials that are there because on your YouTube channel you only have three videos, but I see inside your Facebook group you have you know lots more content, a lot more teaching. So, really, you nurture people in there so much so. Um, one thing in particular that I saw recently is you had a survey conversation. Quiz funnel that people were able to do inside of system.io? I think anyone listening would probably get a lot of value from that. Can you kind of unpack how that funnel works?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, actually, yeah, that that's something interesting because uh I was playing around with system.io kind of I want to try more stuff. Uh there are other platforms uh just focused on quizzes, right? So it it doesn't make sense because it's just quiz, right? Sorry. So a quiz uh is not enough, kind of like system.io is a full powerhouse that comes with everything, right? Funnels, email marketing, and uh everything kind of like tagging people in the back, and we can do more creative stuff with system.io. So uh I try to build a quiz. So it what what it does is uh when someone goes through the quiz, uh they get a custom solution at the end, kind of like we ask them some questions. So in the back end, it actually kind of like uh uh doing a consultation or something like that, right? Because according to the answers they get, uh they get uh personalized suggestion or uh let's say as an example, uh if you have a quiz funnel uh uh uh that they can understand or they can get what the best funnel type they need, right? So they answer some uh questions we give them, and at the end, we can give them a personalized answer, and also uh we calculate a score, right? In quizzes, I'm kind of like don't try to be too technical, but uh according to the answers they give, uh we can give them a quiz score strategically, and we give them, hey, this is what you need, this is exactly what you have to do, right? It differs from person to person, but we can do it with system.io that's amazing. I gave it uh a try and it works. We had to do some custom code, but yeah, it works like a yeah, it's amazing.
SPEAKER_02So all right, you use tags and then you use custom code. Okay.
Why having 12+ different tools is a recipe for disaster
SPEAKER_01So we uh there's a code running in the back end while they are doing uh the answering part, and then uh at the end of the quiz we tag them, right? Like, okay, all right, this person is in this category, this person is this kind of like that, right? So then the best part is when you do email marketing, you can send them super specific emails because let's say there are four categories. So category one going to get this this email, category two, this email like that. So it's super kind of like relatable to them. They are like, oh my god, this person is reading my mind. So, but they gave us all the information about them, and yeah, we we we got where are they where they at kind of in their journey, right? So yeah. Yeah, so it's amazing. Yeah, system.io is totally enough to run any business, kind of uh it's more than enough. You don't need any other tool, I don't use any. But back then I had about 10, 12 tools integrated to each other, right? Because of headaches, yeah.
SPEAKER_02A total headache, yes. You know, trying to implement all the things.
SPEAKER_01And so yeah, kind of log into all those platforms and it waste our time. I don't like that.
SPEAKER_02So, how what do you use for your designing elements? Because you have some beautiful funnels I see advertised throughout your your Facebook group. Do you use Canva, Photoshop, Illustrator?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I use uh kind of I don't like to use Canva, but sometimes I suggest other people to use Canva because they are not designers, right? So they can get a template and do some uh stuff. But I use professional software like Photoshop, and also there's a tool called Figma. It's totally focused on UI designing. So what I do is I design it inside the software, and then I take the elements part by part on system.io, right? It takes a lot of time, but at the end, uh it gives us good results compared to uh rather than just jumping inside system.io and randomly putting things together, we should have a plan and we should do it kind of like it's like building a house, right? We don't we don't just randomly pick, we can start building. We should have a plan and we know what's the outcome before building it, right?
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah, it's your it's your blueprint. I love Figma. Um and so is there anything that you do? Because I saw someone uh praising some of your work and she showed off her website. Is there anything that you do to have like global fonts or global colors throughout the website? Now, you know, that's called a blog. How do you keep cohesiveness from page to page to page?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so when I when I uh start a project, first I kind of like uh I I get an idea about the vibe I want to build, and I pick the font, I pick the color palette, and I plan everything first. And then uh I don't change it in the middle, right? In the process, I don't put random stuff or I stick with that basic uh elements, and uh then we can keep it like we can keep the flow of the funnel, right? They they don't feel like they when they go from one page to another, they don't feel like that's a whole nother website or whole nother page. They don't feel any friction, they just smoothly go through each page, like they just totally focused on the screen and kind of it's a flow, right? So but uh uh you know when let's say there are two pages, the page two is if the page two is totally different than the one first one, they are like, oh my god, where I came, and kind of like it it kind of like that's how human brain works because we kind of like we get that feeling, right? But when we keep that flowness there, so it's it's a smooth journey, they don't even question anything, right? So then it's easy to sell more stuff because uh they don't feel any friction there. So yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yes, no friction, yeah. I didn't know if you knew any custom code or anything to kelp, you know, because you have to make sure that if you pick that one font, you use it over and over. Yeah, yeah. But when you make it a funnel, you know, you don't have to worry about so many pages, you know.
SPEAKER_01So yeah, sometimes uh we have upsell and down sales, so then uh I take it as a another page, you know, the front in the front page, they saw they see only the front offer. But uh when they go to the next funnest step, sometimes some people use a whole different vibe there. So yeah, I don't recommend. So we should keep that flow.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's definitely got branding. You want to follow the branding. So if someone wanted to hire you to just instead of uh do it yourself, but do it for me, is that one of your higher ticket items where you they could hire you to help build out their funnels?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, actually, uh for funnels I don't have a kind of like fixed price. First, I talk with them and I I first ask kind of like I don't talk about the funnel with them, I just ask uh what are you trying to achieve actually with this, right? So then they tell me, all right, I want to do this, this, this, and this. So then I tell them, all right, this is what you have to do. Uh and I tell them I don't keep anything uh with me, I just tell them uh even before I don't know whether they're gonna work with me or not, but I tell them this is unique, this is what you have to do. Uh if they like, they can get that knowledge and go there, do it by themselves. Or they can hire me, they that's up to them. So, but I first give them everything kind of like that small pieces and small points they don't get. Uh I highlight them and I tell them do this, and then you're gonna get that exact result you need. So, yeah, uh and if they are ready to work with me, I give them a custom code uh according to the scope of the project, right? Some funnels are really simple, some have multiple steps and long pages. So I I tell them uh this is uh the price I would charge. So if they are okay, I work with them. Otherwise, I still help them. Sometimes they um message me and ask, hey, I'll start building that thing. I need this, this, this, and then I help them uh with the information they need.
SPEAKER_02So if they perhaps they want to do a course but they haven't built their course out, do you help with that or do they need to have their product digital product kind of done for themselves and you just build the funnel then for them?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, I go to program called Digital Profit Accelerator. Uh their IT is kind of like it's like uh go from product idea to launching, right? Everything from May to ESET Blueprint. Uh so if they need that knowledge, kind of like how to create the product, uh, what tools to use, kind of uh how to create slides, how to do recordings and all those stuff, and also how to put it together on system.io and uh how to sell it, right? So, and also Facebook organic marketing, how to write a good post and everything, right? So I cover all that knowledge part in that program. Uh, if someone asks me for hey, I need to learn from you, uh do you have something? And then I tell them I have this offer. Uh otherwise, they should, if they know how to create an offer, they should have the offer with them, then I can help them uh for the next part of their business, kind of like setting things up together and uh setting up the funnel, automations, and coming up with the best strategy to take people into their world and scaling from there. So uh yeah, that's it.
Warning: Don't over-complicate your business
SPEAKER_02I love it. I love it. Now, one of your um taglines, yeah, no problem. The one of your taglines is that you try to make it simple and not overcomplicate.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02How has system.io made that possible in your life because I saw that you were just saying the other day, you know, yeah, actually, yeah.
SPEAKER_01I'm I'm telling it all the time because uh especially newbies, right? They want something super complicated and they think that they need uh a super complicated machine. The complicated it gets, they think that they're gonna make more money or something like that. Uh so but I was also in that same race when I was starting out. I want to find something kind of like super strategic, like uh mind-blowing thing, but uh actually they need to simplify things, right? Otherwise, they're gonna get burnout within a few years and they're gonna hate their business, so it's not good. Uh I it happened to me kind of like I was being too techy, integrating hundreds of tools, and it was a whole mess, and it it's not fun to run a business like that. So then uh I found system.io. I wanted to uh have something kind of like that keep everything under one umbrella, so then I can just have one login, I log in, and everything is there, right? On one dashboard. So system.io was perfect for that because uh they have everything we need. Uh at the same time, it's functioning well, right? There are some other tools they tell you that hey, you get email marketing, you get tag in, and you get everything, but when we go there, uh it doesn't work. When you send an email, it it doesn't go out. So that's that's the that's what uh stand out kind of like system.io is great compared to all other tools out there. At the same time, it's kind of like not too much, not too less, kind of like it's like the sweet spot of uh digital marketing, system.io, because uh at the same time there are some tools, there are uh hundreds of features. It's like a mess, we have kind of a really busy dashboard and they give all those stuff, but we don't even use those things. But yeah, system.io uh the founder has a really idea, really good idea about what exactly we need, and he has a better understanding about the uh audience, right? So that's why uh he's creating the best product.
How systeme.io changed my life in a third-world country
SPEAKER_02Yes, yes, he is. Um, I love their product, I love what they've done for people. Uh again, you you shared how it again is not complicated, and let's not complicate our business, but also, you know, where you come from, from a third world country, right? And how it's changing your life, that with the less bells and whistles, you can get up, do what you got to do, go to the gym, come back. Life is simplified, but also you're doing something big for your family, you know, in a third world country, you know, those were your words, you know. I was really moved by that, you know, talking about your dad and your mom and your two brothers. Um, I'm a big old family person, you know, mom of five. So it means a lot to see someone you know, move.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, when we kind of like uh so when you pay for a tool, right? So in the tool charge in US dollars, but when you pay from the local currency, sometimes it must, right? So imagine just spending thousand dollars on different, different, different tools. It's like a salary of the doctor here, right? So we just spending that on the tool. So uh when I found system.io, it was like uh once I gave it a try, I knew that this is it because uh it's affordable, at the same time it's functioning, right? So that was kind of like so I could deactivate all other tools and save a lot of money there. At the same time, uh I had no doubts because it works as I want, so then I can uh forget about that uh hustle part, the tech hustle, and then I can uh put my creative ideas into work, right? So right here, uh life is good kind of uh in Sri Lanka. I don't know whether you have visit, uh, but uh everyone is kind of like not too materialistic and kind of people love each other and they just live in their day, right? So uh yeah, if you can make at least$5,000,$10,000 per month, that's like a life-changing money, right? Here, right? But in US, sometimes they might feel 10k is not much. So yeah, I have seen some people like even though they are making 50k, 100k, they they are not happy with it, right? So yeah, yeah, so I feel blessed. Yeah, uh kind of yeah, I love some people actually, yeah. I got a lot of clients also from US and uh all whole different countries from uh different places in the world. Sorry. So um they asking me, hey, do you have an idea to come here and get settled here? Now you you're good at business and you have everything. So but I tell no, life is good here. I can be with my people and I can help them. So yeah, uh I'm happy about that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, oh I love it. I I'm also someone from a very small town, not very materialistic. And then I I I love the simplicity of system.io and I being on this side, interviewing people, I I love hearing all the different stories, but the ones where people are able to stay in their country and give back, you know, and give back to their parents when that you know they've sacrificed so much or you know, help their family. And so if you could you say in one word or one sentence what system.io means to you, what would you say?
"I have no business without systeme.io"
SPEAKER_01Actually, it's hard to put into one word though, kind of like because uh it has become, I think, kind of like uh I have no business without system.io. That's uh that's the one phrase I can tell. Because uh it's all about uh what I do right now. Uh I love it. Yeah, I I got no business without system.io.
SPEAKER_02I think a lot of people would say that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, because so at the same time, I won't tell that inside the system.io community, uh they are not kind of like we see all day kind of like normal people make a lot of money with system.io, right? They are not superstars, they are not kind of like celebrity type uh influencers, they are just normal people living normal life, they have kids, they have family, they are living a good life while making a lot of money with system.io. So that's what most fascinating because otherwise they are like a big guru or someone you know in other platforms. Yeah, so I love it about system.io.
SPEAKER_02I love that. I love that. Now, what is the gift that entrepreneurship has given you?
SPEAKER_01I think I can tell it super specifically, it's delayed gratification. So I can stay kind of like in the same place for even five, six, seven years because uh I have that thing inside me because you know, when we run a business, there are a lot of hassles and going through a lot of pain, even though sometimes our uh family members and uh friends don't notice that. But yeah, I can kind of like I have that inside me, right? Delate gratification.
SPEAKER_02I like that.
SPEAKER_01Now, yeah, this is our last question. Yeah, uh one thing, right? So uh there are some people they just they just uh start a business and make some money, let's say what they do is they just buy some kind of like stuff with the very first thing kind of they just uh I don't know how to put it into words, but uh they don't have that delayed gratification with them, so then they uh they are ruining their business because they can't be patient till it gets to that level that you can do anything with it, right? So uh they should have patience when they're starting out and they have to go through that all the hassle pain and they don't have to give up on it. So it's then they're gonna get to a place and they can do anything. Right? So yeah, yeah, go ahead with your question.
My final advice for anyone on the edge of starting
SPEAKER_02No, I I appreciate it, I love it. Um, because the gift of entrepreneurship is so different for each person, and so that one I haven't heard yet, and I appreciate it. So our last question is to all the people listening, maybe there's a person sitting on the edge of their seat, ready to go all in in digital marketing, perhaps with system.io, hopefully system.io. What would you say to them to get started?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Uh yeah, first I would uh really uh kind of like they should actually start a system.io don't Try any other tools because I have tried them all, right? So they don't have to waste time. And I have kind I feel like kind of like I have wasted years for them because I'm telling them don't try those stuff, just go with system.io and uh you have to find out something. Uh you don't have to love it, but find out something, but then start to love it kind of like the your business. Once you start it, you don't have to look for other opportunities. People will tell you, hey, there is another one, kind of like you can make money doing XYZ. But you have to focus on your thing, right? You are not going to get results in a month or two, in three months, right? Because the reason is uh they won't pass results most of the time. They just start today, and uh there are uh teens who drive in Lamborghinis Ferraris on Instagram, they see them and they think like, oh my god, I should start a business and then I want to be like them in a month or two, right? It's not gonna happen, right? Even those people uh they have they show only the uh flexing part, right? But in the back end, they have years of uh wasted kind of like hustling nights and uh trying random stuff, trying random business models, but one thing gonna work when they because they have that fire inside them. They just keep going, keep going, keep going. So all you need is that uh fire within you, so you just have to keep going, right? So then one day one thing is gonna work, right? Uh but when you're starting out, don't just uh put together kind of like don't watch for different different things at once because uh then you are like dividing your energy in different parts, kind of uh you have to focus and give your whole energy to one thing, and then you are going to get quick results, otherwise uh it's like you are not doing your best because you can't tell that you did you did your best because uh it's not you 100% because you are dividing it into different things. Uh but uh as entrepreneurs, I know uh they have kind of even every day when they wake up, they get a new idea because that's how kind of like the entrepreneurial mind works, they always see opportunities, but uh yeah, but they should alright, I'm going to stick with this thing until I go to this level. So once you go there, then you can uh try other business ideas you get, or you can outsource them, you can hire a team, or whatever thing you want. But when starting on, you should focus on that one offer and one traffic source and one panel. Yeah, that's it.
SPEAKER_02I love it. Simplify, do not overcomplicate, get that fire, yeah.
SPEAKER_00And then I love it, just go on, yeah.
How to connect with Prabrath
SPEAKER_02And just keep going until you get to a certain level, you know, before you start adding in all the other things. And so if someone wants to work with you after this conversation, how can they find you? What's the best way to get connected?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, the best way is Facebook, right? So that's the only traffic source to this day, right? Uh I don't use any other platforms uh because I like to simplify things as I mentioned. So then I just have to look on Facebook who are the people reaching out to me and all those things. Uh so yeah, they can reach out to me via Facebook Messenger and drop me a DM. And also uh they can check that uh my website if they wish to see that uh low ticket of I have. So then uh that way also they can uh just step into my world.
