(Speaker 2)
If you want to be successful, you’re telling the thrivers, you definitely have to have a solid work ethic, you definitely have to be punctual, and you definitely have to be responsive.

(Speaker 3)
Absolutely responsive. And that doesn’t mean you don’t have boundaries.

(Speaker 2)
OK, hit on boundaries.

(Speaker 41)
What do you mean?

(Speaker 3)
That is such a good one.

(Speaker 23)
What do you mean?

(Speaker 2)
When you say boundaries, I mean, the boundary is like, you know, hey, you just can’t step over here into this area.

(Speaker 3)
So to call an employee at 11 o ‘clock at night would be crossing a boundary.

(Speaker 17)
OK.

(Speaker 3)
To expect somebody to take time away from their family on family time in a business relationship could be crossing a boundary. Asking somebody to do something outside the nine to five may be crossing a boundary. So what battle is your team structured to fight? And who is your team that’s structured to be support in the battle that they need to fight? So if you’re running a basic operation in a city or a town where you have a structural time to do your business, I get it. My vision as a visionary and a motivator is slightly different because it’s global international and always has been globally international.

(Speaker 3)
The team structure works on a different operational mentality. a different operational mentality. Every time zone has a different set of needs. Some companies in the past would be forced to have offices in each country and to do business with an office in each country, addressing the time zone of each country. The internet has made things possible to be alive 24 hours a day, in any time zone, anywhere in the world.

(Speaker 2)
Do you, with your staff, because it’s a business, it’s international, I mean, it’s all over the world, I would argue that the people who work with you probably would not work for you or work with you if you didn’t have a strong work ethic.

(Speaker 3)
Absolutely.

(Speaker 2)
I guess as a capstone thought, final thought for the Thrivers, if you may be able to kind of look into the camera and talk directly to the folks at home, if somebody’s struggling with being punctual, having that solid work ethic and being responsive, what do you want to tell them?

(Speaker 3)
I’ve never seen anybody in business who had any success, huge success, that wasn’t punctual, that had no work ethic, that wasn’t committed to the process of taking care of others in the same way that they would take care of themselves. I’ve seen people pick up checks. I’ve seen people go to work. But as entrepreneurs and business owners, These principles are possibly the key principles to being successful in your endeavor. I do believe that.

(Speaker 2)
At its peak, there was between five and eight million people a day fellowshipping with you, commuting with you, joining with you, and improving their health, improving their minds, improving their bodies. Describe to me what spinning was at its peak in your mind.

(Speaker 3)
I started off as a kid at five years old on a bicycle. My first love was a bike. I wanted to share the bicycle as I grew older with everybody I met. This was my passion, it was my hobby, it was my everything, it was my life. By the time I finished racing as a professional athlete, I wanted to have an opportunity where I could take care of my family, I could take care of myself, and I could share the wisdom that I’d learned from the sport of cycling. So when I made the stationary bike, which helped me in my racing career, and it helped me in my life career, and it got me fit and healthy, the next part started where How was I going to develop principles and a training program that I could share in 40 minutes a workout that would get people fit and healthy around the world?

(Speaker 3)
The one thing about the tool, the bicycle, it transcends barriers. It transcends language. The bike is the bike. This was a good thing. So I actually started to sit down and think deeply. How could I take the bicycle, translate this bicycle into different languages?

(Speaker 3)
music, teachers, rhythm, all the fundamentals, the sweat, the room, the environment, the manufacturer. So what I did was I went and I built a prototype. From this prototype I designed programming. The programming then took on a nature and an animal within itself. I needed a name. What was this going to be called?

(Speaker 3)
I came up with this name, Spinning. Spinning was a movement that cyclists would do on the road. It wasn’t spinning like a top. It was taking your legs and spinning out a big gear, going up mountains and spinning through them, making difficult obstacles disappear. This program, Spinning, now became something that I was really passionate about. At the time I was so passionate about it, I would go to sleep with it.

(Speaker 3)
I had a spinning bike in my room. I would wake up with it. I would get on it. I would play on it. I would spend time and time and time. This became contagious.

(Speaker 3)
I brought friends in to try it. My friends started to love it. As my friends started to love it, I brought my family in to try it. My family started to love it. I now knew that I had something important.

(Speaker 2)
Did you ever think it would get that big?

(Speaker 3)
No, I didn’t.

(Speaker 40)
It just blew you away?

(Speaker 3)
I didn’t. It blew me away. Because if you think about a product that goes global, you can’t sit down and say, my product today is going to go global. What you do is you take it and you say, how many people are going to love my product in my circle? And could this circle expand? And if this circle could expand, how many people in that expanded circle would love their product?

(Speaker 3)
And I kept thinking of these little circles. And as I thought of these little circles, the next step was, how could I mobilize people in each circle? And that may have been in Brazil, that may have been in Japan, that may have been in the UK, and all the states across America. So this became a wonderful, wonderful trick to be able to figure out the mechanics. of what would happen in a small circle and how the circle could get duplicated and still have the essence and the truth behind it.

(Speaker 2)
And before we knew it, within two years at our second trade show, it went into a thousand health clubs. All right, Johnny, today we are talking about the catalyst, starting an international business and movement. I am so excited because you started this movement, which I’m going to let you kind of share how you would describe it, but the spinning movement at its peak, there was between 5 and 8 million people a day fellowshipping with you, commuting with you, joining with you, and improving their health, improving their minds, improving their bodies.

(Speaker 3)
But kind of describe to me what spinning was at its peak in your mind. I started off as a kid at five years old on a bicycle. My first love was a bike. I wanted to share the bicycle as I grew older with everybody I met. This was my passion, it was my hobby, it was my everything, it was my life.

(Speaker 4)
And before we knew it, within two years at our second trade show, it went into 1 ,000 health clubs. Hey, it’s Dr. J here, HealthWorks Chiropractic, and just wanted to do a video review while I’m driving out to my second office. And on the Thrive team, on Jason, on Clay, I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate what they’ve done for us, for me personally, us as a team, as an organization. They just know what the hell to do. And if you don’t, these are the people to get to. They’re going to teach you how to run an organization, how to market, how to run a business efficiently so you don’t have to be there all the time.

(Speaker 4)
And I can’t speak highly enough of If you’re struggling with business and you need someone to, you know, either get you over the hump, get you out of the red, get you where you want to go from the standpoint of personal freedom, time freedom, financial freedom, I cannot stress enough how good they are at what they do. Clay, thanks. Jason, thanks. You guys are the bomb. The whole team, Jonathan, appreciate you guys.

(Speaker 4)
You guys have made a huge impact in my life and my ability to do business. And I just want to say thanks.

(Speaker 1)
And anyone else out there who is struggling and needs someone to help them, these are your people.

(Speaker 39)
I promise you.

(Speaker 4)
All right, thanks. This is Dr. J. Schroeder, Franklin, just outside of Nashville. Just wanted to record kind of my experience with Thrive, 16 months I think it’s been, almost 18 months with these guys. They have helped me turn my clinic, came to thrive in February of 17 and you know we had successful practice but it was very much insurance model, insurance based and we had a huge industry change in the end of 2016 that just totally devastated us in the way we did business and treated patients and our business model. So I knew I had to make a change to survive. And with having two clinics, I liken it to having a big ship in the sea.

(Speaker 4)
It doesn’t just happen quickly. So signed up with Clay and Thrive and Eric Chuck was my coach. And we’ve gone through a ton. And I could say 16 months later, I don’t know where we’ve been without these guys, but I know where we’re at now. haven’t met all of our goals yet, but I know that I’ve achieved some things such as time freedom. I’m only seeing patients now two days a week.

(Speaker 4)
We’ve got systems in place that make the practices no longer reliant on me being there for them to be successful. That was a huge goal of mine when I first talked to them. We’re working towards our financial goals. We’ll be there probably within six months, and we’re My stress level has gone down. I’ll be going on vacation next week not worrying a bit about what’s happening with my two practices because I know the systems that we put in place is going to make them run as if I was there. I don’t know what else to say, but thank you guys.

(Speaker 4)
I love, I look forward to my weekly coaching calls, and it’s always something that I get out of those that I can plug in or talk to an employee, and it’s just the 2%. They talk about 2 % all the time. You gotta improve by 2%. You can’t do it all at once, but that 2 % over the last 16 to 18 months has made a huge difference for my life, my family, our practices, and again, just the stress level that we were at. compared to now has been life changing.

(Speaker 2)
So, thanks guys, really appreciate all you do and look forward to the next 16 to 18 months and beyond.

(Speaker 12)
All right, Dr. Breck, how you doing, man?

(Speaker 38)
I’m good, how are you, Clay?

(Speaker 2)
Doing great.

(Speaker 37)
You’re a chiropractor.

(Speaker 12)
I am. I’m Dr. Breck Kasbaum and I was looking to learn more about business, scaling, selling, closing, potentially franchising, growing that business and actually working on it and not as much in it. If you’re just considering being a part of one of these coaching teams, this is a great place to start. You’ll get that 10 ,000 foot view and then you can work individually with a team of coaches to really hone it in and give you those action steps to move forward. So definitely, if you’re on the fence, come, be a part of it.

(Speaker 7)
Welcome to Texas. on behalf of me. I’m originally from Tulsa, born and raised here. I’ve definitely learned a lot about life design and making sure the business serves you. The linear workflow, the linear workflow for us in getting everything out on paper and documented is really important. We have workflows that are kind of all over the place. Having linear workflow and seeing that mapped out on multiple different boards is pretty awesome.

(Speaker 7)
That’s really helpful for me. The atmosphere here is awesome. I definitely just stared at the walls figuring out how to make my facility look like this place. This place rocks. It’s invigorating. The walls are super, it’s just very cool.

(Speaker 7)
The atmosphere is cool. The people are nice. It’s a pretty cool place to be. Very good learning atmosphere. I literally want to model it and steal everything that’s here at this facility, and basically create it just on our business side. Play is hilarious.

(Speaker 7)
I literally laughed so hard that I started having tears yesterday. And we’ve been learning a lot, which, you know, we’ve been sitting here, we’ve been learning a lot, and so the humor definitely helps. It breaks it up. But the content is awesome, off the charts, and it’s very interactive. You can raise your hand. It’s not like you’re just listening to the Professor speak, you know, the wizard teaches but the wizard interacts and he takes questions.

(Speaker 7)
So that’s awesome If you’re not attending the conference, you’re missing about three quarters to half of your life you’re definitely It’s it’s probably worth a couple thousand dollars. So you’re missing the thought process of someone that’s already started like nine profitable businesses. So not only is it a lot of good information, but just getting in the thought process of Clay Clark or Dr. Zellner or any of the other coaches, getting in the thought process of how they’re starting all these businesses, to me, just that is priceless. That’s mind -blowing. Well, we’re definitely not getting upsold here. My wife and I have attended conferences where it was great information and then they upsold us like half the conference and I don’t want to like bang my head into a wall.

(Speaker 7)
and she’s like banging her head into the chair in front of her. Like, it’s good information, but we’re like, oh my gosh, I want to strangle you. Shut up and go with the presentation that we paid for. And that’s not here. There’s no upsells or anything. So that’s awesome.

(Speaker 29)
I hate that.

(Speaker 7)
It makes me angry. So glad that’s not happening. So the cost. of this conference is quite a bit cheaper than business college. I went to a small private liberal arts college and got a degree in business and I didn’t learn anything like they’re teaching here. I didn’t learn linear workflows.

(Speaker 7)
I learned stuff that I’m not using and I haven’t been using for the last nine years. So what they’re teaching here is actually way better than what I got at business school. And I went what was actually ranked as a very good business school. I would definitely recommend that people would check out the Thrive 15 conference. The information that you’re going to get is just very, very beneficial.

(Speaker 11)
And the mindset that you’re going to get, that you’re going to leave with, is just absolutely worth the price of a little bit of money and a few days worth of your time.

(Speaker 7)
I’m Rachel with Tip Top K9, and we just want to give a huge thank you to Clay and Vanessa Clark. Hey guys, I’m Ryan with Tip Top K9. Just want to say a big thank you to Thrive 15. Thank you to Make Your Life Epic. We love you guys, we appreciate you, and really just appreciate how far you’ve taken us.

(Speaker 36)
This is our old house, right?

(Speaker 27)
This is where we used to live a few years ago.

(Speaker 35)
This is our old neighborhood.

(Speaker 20)
See?

(Speaker 7)
Nice, right? So this is my old van and our old school marketing. And this is our old team.

(Speaker 34)
And by team, I mean it’s me and another guy.

(Speaker 11)
This is our new house with our new neighborhood. This is our new van with our new marketing, and this is our new team. We went from four to 14, and I took this beautiful photo. We worked with several different business coaches in the past, and they were all about helping Ryan sell better and just teaching sales, which is awesome, but Ryan is a really great salesman, so we didn’t need that. We needed somebody to help us get everything that was in his head out into systems, into manuals and scripts, and actually build a team.

(Speaker 7)
So now that we have systems in place, we’ve gone from 1 to 10 locations in only a year. In October 2016, we grossed $13 ,000 for the whole month. Right now it’s 2018, the month of October. It’s only the 22nd, we’ve already grossed a little over 50 grand for the whole month, and we still have time to go. We’re just thankful for you, thankful for Thrive and your mentorship, and we’re really thankful that you guys have helped us to grow a business that we run now instead of the business running us.

(Speaker 11)
Just thank you, thank you, thank you, times a thousand.

(Speaker 33)
So we really just want to thank you, Clay, and thank you, Vanessa, for everything you’ve done, everything you’ve helped us with.

(Speaker 1)
We love you guys. Hello, my name is Charles Colaw with Colaw Fitness. Today I want to tell you a little bit about Clay Clark and how I know Clay Clark. Clay Clark has been my business coach since 2017. He’s helped us grow from two locations to now six locations. We’re planning to do seven locations in seven years and then franchise.

(Speaker 1)
And Clay has done a great job of helping us navigate anything that has to do with like running the business, building the systems, the checklists, the workflows, the audits, how to navigate lease agreements, how to buy property, how to work with brokers and builders. This guy is just amazing. This kind of guy has worked in every single industry. He’s written books with like Lee Crockrell, head of Disney with the 40 ,000 cast members. He’s friends with like Mike Lindell. He does reawaken America tours where he does these tours all over the world.

(Speaker 1)
country where 10 ,000 or more people show up to some of these tours on the day -to -day. He does anywhere from about 160 companies. He’s at the top He has a team of business coaches, videographers, and graphic designers, and web developers, and they run 160 companies every single week. So think of this guy with a team of business coaches running 160 companies. So in the weekly, he’s running 160 companies. Every six to eight weeks, he’s doing Reawaken America tours.

(Speaker 1)
Every six to eight weeks, he’s also doing business conferences where 200 people show up, and he teaches people a 13 -step proven system that he’s done and worked with billionaires, grow their companies. So I’ve seen guys from startups go from startup to being multi -millionaires, teaching people how to get time freedom and financial freedom through the system. critical thinking, document creation, making it, putting it into organizing everything in their head to building it into a franchisable, scalable business. Like one of his businesses has like 500 franchises. That’s just one of the companies or brands that he works with. So amazing guy, Elon Musk, kind of like smart guy.

(Speaker 1)
He kind of comes off sometimes as socially awkward, but he’s so brilliant and he’s taught me so much. When I say that, like Clay is like, he doesn’t care what people think when you’re talking to him. He cares about, where you’re going in your life and where he can get you to go and that’s what I like him most about him. He’s like a good coach. A coach isn’t just making you feel good all the time, a coach is actually helping you get to the best you and Clay has been an amazing business coach. Through the course of that we became friends.

(Speaker 1)
I was really most impressed with him is when I was shadowing him one time. We went into a business deal and listened to it. I got to shadow and listen to it. And when we walked out, I knew that he could make millions on the deal. And they were super excited about working with him. And he told me, he’s like, I’m not going to touch it.

(Speaker 1)
I’m going to turn it down because he knew it was going to harm the common good. of people in the long run. And the guy’s integrity just really wowed me. It brought tears to my eyes to see that this guy, his, he doesn’t, his highest desire was to do what’s right. And anyways, just, just, just an amazing man. So anyways, impacted me a lot.

(Speaker 1)
He’s helped navigate anytime I’ve gotten nervous or worried about how to run the company or you know, navigating competition and an economy that’s like, I remember we got closed down for three months. He helped us navigate on how to stay open, how to get back open, how to just survive through all the COVID shutdowns, lockdowns, because our clubs were all closed for three months. And you have $350 ,000 of bills you’ve got to pay. And we have no accounts receivable. He helped us navigate that. And of course, we were conservative enough that we could afford to take that on for a period of time.

(Speaker 1)
He was a great man. I’m very impressed with him. So Clay, thank you for everything you’re doing. And I encourage you, if you haven’t worked with Clay, work with Clay. He’s going to help magnify you. And there’s nobody I have ever met that has the ability to work as hard as he does. He probably sleeps four, maybe six hours a day.

(Speaker 1)
And literally the rest of the time he’s working and he can outwork everybody in the room every single day. And he loves it. So anyways, this is Charles Kola with Kola Fitness. Thank you, Clay. And anybody out there that’s wanting to work to work with Clay, it’s a great, great opportunity to ever work with him. So, you guys have a blessed one.

(Speaker 1)
This is Charles Kola.

(Speaker 32)
We’ll see you guys.

(Speaker 2)
Bye -bye. dollars in real estate. So honestly… thought I kind of knew everything about marketing and homes and then I met Clay and my perception of what I knew and what I could do definitely changed. After Doing $800 million in sales over a 15 -year career, I really thought I knew what I was doing. I’ve been managing a large team of salespeople for the last 10 years here with Shaw Homes.

(Speaker 2)
We’ve been a company that’s been in business for 35 years. become one of the largest builders in the Tulsa area, and that was without Clay. So when I came to know Clay, I really thought, man, there’s not much more I need to know, but I’m willing to listen. The interesting thing is our internet leads from our website has actually, in a four -month period of time, has gone from somewhere around 10 to 15 leads in a month to 180 internet leads in a month, just from the few things that he’s shown us how to implement that I honestly probably never would have come up with on my own. So I got a lot of good things to say about the system that Clay put in place with us. And it’s just been an incredible experience.

(Speaker 2)
I am very glad that we met and had the opportunity to work with Clay. So the interaction with the team and with Clay on a weekly basis is honestly very enlightening. One of the things that I love about Clay’s perspective on things is that he doesn’t come from my industry. He’s not somebody who’s in the home building industry. I’ve listened to all the experts in my field. Our company has paid for me to go to seminars, international builder shows, all kinds of places where I’ve had the opportunity to learn from the experts.

(Speaker 2)
in my industry. But the thing that I found working with Clay is that he comes from such a broad spectrum of working with so many different types of businesses that he has a perspective that’s difficult for me to gain because I get so entrenched in what I do, I’m not paying attention to what other leading industry experts are doing. And Clay really brings that perspective for me. It is very valuable time every week when I get that hour with him. From my perspective, the reason that any business owner who’s thinking about hooking up with Thrive needs to definitely consider it is because The results that we’ve gotten in a very short period of time are honestly monumental. It has really exceeded my wildest expectation of what he might be able to do.

(Speaker 2)
I came in skeptical because I’m very pragmatic, and as I’ve gone through the process over just a few months, I’ve realized it’s probably one of the best moves we’ve ever made. I think a lot of people probably feel like they don’t need a business or marketing consultant because they maybe are a little bit prideful and like to think they know everything. I know that’s how I felt coming in. I mean, we’re a big company that’s definitely one of the largest in town. And so we kind of felt like we knew what we were doing. And I think for a lot of people, they let their ego get in the way of listening to somebody that might have a better or different perspective than theirs.

(Speaker 2)
encourage you if you’re thinking about working with clay. I mean, the thing is, it’s month to month. Go give it a try and see what happens. I think in the 35 -year history of Shaw Homes, this is probably the best thing that’s happened to us. And I know if you give them a shot, I think you’ll feel the same way. I know for me the thing I would have missed out on if I didn’t work with Clay is I would have missed out on literally an 1800 % increase in our internet leads going from 10 a month to 180 a month.

(Speaker 2)
That would have been a huge financial decision to just decide not to give it a shot. I would absolutely recommend Clay Clark to anybody who’s thinking about working with somebody in marketing.

(Speaker 15)
I would skip over anybody else you were thinking about and I would go straight to Clay and his team.

(Speaker 6)
I guarantee you’re not going to regret it because we sure haven’t. My name is Danielle Sprick and I am the founder of D. Sprick Realty Group here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After being a stay -at -home mom for 12 years and my three kids started school and they were in school full -time, I was at a crossroads and trying to decide, what do I want to do? My degree and my background is in education, but after being a mom and staying home and all of that, I just didn’t have a passion for it like I once did. My husband suggested real estate. He’s a home builder, so real estate and home building go hand in hand, and we just rolled with it.

(Speaker 6)
I love people. I love working with people. I love the building relationships. But one thing that was really difficult for me was the business side of things, the processes and the advertising and marketing. I knew that I did not have what I needed to make that what it should be. So I reached out to Clay at that time, and he and his team have been extremely instrumental in helping us build our business.

(Speaker 6)
brand, help market our business, our agents, the homes that we represent. Everything that we do is a direct line from Clay and his team and all that they’ve done for us. We launched our brokerage, our real estate brokerage, eight months ago. And in that time, we’ve gone from myself and one other agent to just this week, we signed on our 16th agent. We have been blessed with the fact that we right now have just over 10 million in pending transactions. Three years ago, I never would have even imagined that I would be in this role that I’m in today, building a business, having 16 agents.

(Speaker 6)
But I have to give credit where credit’s due. And Clay and his team and the business coaching that they’ve offered us has been huge. It’s been instrumental in what we’re doing. Don’t ever limit your vision.

(Speaker 5)
When you dream big, big things happen. I started a business because I couldn’t work for anyone else. I do things my way. I do what I think is in the best interest of the patient. I don’t answer to insurance companies. I don’t answer to large corporate organizations.

(Speaker 5)
I answer to my patient, and that’s it. My thought when I opened my clinic was I can do this all myself. I don’t need additional outside help in many ways. I mean, I went to medical school. I can figure this out. But it was a very, very steep learning curve.

(Speaker 5)
Within the first six months of opening my clinic, I had a $63 ,000 embezzlement. I lost multiple employees. Clay helped us weather the storm of some of the things that are just a lot of people experience, especially in the medical world. He was instrumental in helping with the specific written business plan. He’s been instrumental in hiring good quality employees. using the processes that he outlines for getting in good talent, which is extremely difficult.

(Speaker 5)
He helped me in securing the business loans. He helped me with web development and search engine optimization. We’ve been able to really keep a steady stream of clients coming in because they found us on the web. With everything that I encountered, everything that I experienced, I quickly learned it is worth every penny to have someone in your team that can walk you through and even avoid some of the pitfalls that are almost invariable in starting your own business.

(Speaker 31)
I’m Dr. Chad Edwards and I own Revolution Health and Wellness Clinic. In a Fox 23 television exclusive, a local company is taking small businesses to new leaps and bounds by linking them up with world -class education from millionaires, moguls, and everyday success stories.

(Speaker 16)
Fox 23 Sharon Phillips is live downtown on why it could have a big impact on our local economy.

(Speaker 2)
It’s already changing the face of small business right here in Tulsa.

(Speaker 16)
to determine that we’re going to live before we die. One quick glance at this wall, and it’s clear that CEO Clay Clark knows what he’s talking about. Right now, he is one of America’s most sought after business and entrepreneurship coaches.

(Speaker 2)
He’s working to teach entrepreneurs specifically what they need to start and grow business.

(Speaker 9)
Marketing, sales, PR.

But Clay Clark, man, he is one character.

(Speaker 18)
It’s a good word for him, character.

(Speaker 9)
Yeah, that is it. Good, driven, smart. And I’ve never met a guy who was so hyper all the time. He’s doing so much good. And then I met his mother, and she just says, she just lets him be Clay Clark. I mean, so he’s endorsed by everybody.

(Speaker 9)

(Speaker 30)
Clayt Lark is here somewhere.

(Speaker 10)
Where’s my buddy Clay? Clay’s the greatest. I met his goats today. I met his dogs. I met his chickens.

(Speaker 29)
I saw his compound.

(Speaker 28)
He’s like the greatest guy.

(Speaker 10)
I ran from his goats, his chickens, his dogs. So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right?

(Speaker 8)
His entire life, Clayt Lark, his entire life is marketing. 4 ,000 % from February to February. Now, I can better that. Okay, Clay, I don’t think you know this. I don’t think you know this. I’m pinching myself, and if I cry, forgive me.

(Speaker 8)
In the last two and a half days, we have bettered our entire month of February in the last two and a half days. So, and the phone’s blowing up. Everything’s just blowing up. You’re right, it is like a rocket ship.

That’s my private cell phone number.

(Speaker 2)
It’s 918 -851 -0102. 918 -851 -0102.

(Speaker 15)
I know we have a lot of Spanish speaking people that attend these conferences. And so to be bilingually sensitive, my cell phone number is 918 -851 -01. That’s not actually bilingual.

(Speaker 2)
That’s just saying Quan for a one. It’s not the same thing. I think you’re attacking me. Now, let’s talk about this. Now, what kind of stuff will you learn at the Thrive Time Show Workshop? So, Aaron, you’ve been to many of these over the past seven, eight years.

(Speaker 2)
So let’s talk about it. I’ll tee up the thing and then you tell me what you’re going to learn here, OK?

(Speaker 22)
OK.

(Speaker 2)
You’re going to learn marketing, marketing and branding. What are we going to learn about marketing and branding? Oh, yeah. We’re going to dive into, you know, so many people say, oh, you know, I got to get my brand known out there like the Trump brand. Right. You want to get that brand.

(Speaker 2)
brand out there. It’s like, how do I actually make people know what my business is and make it a household name? You’re going to learn some intricacies of how you can do that. You’re going to learn sales. So many people struggle to sell something. This just in, your business will go to hell if you can’t sell.

(Speaker 2)
So we’re going to teach you sales. We’re going to teach you search engine optimization, how to come up top in the search engine results. We’re going to teach you how to manage people. Aaron, you have managed, no exaggeration, hundreds of people. throughout your career and thousands of contractors. And most people struggle with managing people.

(Speaker 2)
Why does everybody have to learn how to manage people? Well, because first of all, people are either have great people or you have people who suck. So it could be a challenge, you know, learning how to work with a large group of people and get everybody pulling in the same direction can be a challenge. But If you have the right systems, you have the right processes, and you’re really good at selecting great ones. And we have a process we teach about how to find great people. When you start with the people who have a great attitude, they’re teachable, they’re driven, all of those things, then you can get those people all pulling in the same direction.

(Speaker 2)
So we’re going to teach you branding, marketing, sales, search engine optimization. We’re going to teach you accounting. We’re going to teach you marketing. finance, how to manage your finance. We’re gonna teach you time management. How do you manage your time?

(Speaker 2)
How do you get more done during a typical day? How do you build an organization if you’re not organized? How do you do organization? How do you build an org chart? Everything that you need to know to start and grow a business will be taught during this two -day interactive business workshop. Now, let me tell you how the format is set up here.

(Speaker 2)
And again, folks, this is a two -day interactive 15. Think about this, folks. It’s two days. Each day, it starts at 7 AM, and it goes until 5 PM. So from 7 AM to 5 PM, two days. It’s a two -day interactive workshop.

(Speaker 2)
The way we do it is we do a 30 -minute teaching session, and then we break for 15 minutes for a question and answer session. So Aaron, what kind of great stuff stuff happens during that 15 minute question and answer session after every teaching session? I actually think it’s the best part about the workshops, because here’s what happens. I’ve been to lots of these things over the years, I’ve paid many thousands of dollars to go to them. And you go in there and they talk in vague generalities. And they’re constantly upselling you for something trying to get you to buy this thing or that thing or this program or this membership.

(Speaker 2)
And you don’t, you leave not getting your very specific questions answered about your business or your employees or what you’re doing on your marketing. And what’s awesome about this is we literally answer every single question that any person asks. And it’s very specific to what your business is. And what we do is we allow you as the attendee to write your questions on the whiteboard. And then we literally, as you mentioned, we answer every single question on the whiteboard. And then we take a 15 minute break to stretch.

(Speaker 2)
And this is also your opportunity to meet some of the great speakers like Pastor Dave Scarlett. You could meet Mel K. You could meet Amanda Grace. You could meet Dr. Stella Emanuel. You could just grab a coffee. You could find some alone time. You could get lost.

(Speaker 21)
in the bathroom.

(Speaker 2)
You could try to go and get a photo with one of the speakers. You could try to photobomb a photo where someone else is getting a photo with the speakers. You could go attempt to find your phone, wallet, and your keys. Now that’s a good idea. That means you have less than 3 % of our population that’s even self -employed. So you only have 3 out of every 100 people in America that are self -employed to begin with.

(Speaker 2)
And when Inc. Magazine reports that 96 % of businesses fail by default, by default, you have a 1 out of 1 ,000 chance of succeeding in the game of business. But yet the average client that you and I work with, we can typically double this. No hyperbole. No exaggeration. I have thousands of testimonials to back this up.

(Speaker 2)
We have thousands of testimonials to back it up. But when you work with a home builder, when I work with a business owner, we can typically double the size of the company within 24 months. Yeah. Double. And you say double.

(Speaker 20)
Yeah.

(Speaker 19)
There’s businesses that we have tripled.

(Speaker 2)
There’s businesses we’ve grown eight X. There’s so many examples you can see at Thrivetimeshow . com. But again, this is the most interactive best business workshop on the planet.
