From $1M to $3M: The Offer and Creative Playbook

A sticker business owner generating $1.1 million Australian (roughly $800k USD) with 30–35% profit sits down with Alex Hormozi to figure out how to reach $3 million USD in three years. Her main product is Secret Sticker Society, a $27/month membership with a strong upsell game. She runs paid live boot camps three times per year as her primary acquisition funnel, selling $10 tickets and converting 22% of ticket buyers into the membership. Her average order value recently doubled to $91 after she switched to pitching only the annual membership — a change she made on someone else's advice that "worked way better than I thought it would."

The bottleneck is not her conversion rate. It's her willingness to spend. She capped ad spend at roughly $16k per launch, with CPAs reaching as high as $50. But her lifetime gross profit per customer is around $300, and her net acquisition cost after front-end revenue is effectively $200 for $6,600 in lifetime value. "That LTV to CAC is crazy," Hormozi notes. The math says she can afford to spend far more. The problem is psychological and structural.
