and I’m an agency owner with Farmers Insurance. I grew up in a middle -class family all the way up until I was about 13 and then my dad lost his job and then all of a sudden he was gone and I was being raised by my mom by herself. She was probably making 20 grand a year. In order for me to have a car, I had to pay for the car. I had to pay for the gas. I had to do everything on my own.
So the independent thinking had to come early if I wanted to do anything. I didn’t want to have a boss. I did independent things without a boss. you know, working for somebody else. Even at 15, I had my own wand company that I was doing 60 yards a week. And, you know, so I’ve always had my own thing for the most part.
And then in my 20s, I, you know, worked for other people and I hated it and always thought, man, I could be doing this on my own better than he could. So owning my own business was something that I’ve always known and wanted to do since I was, you know, 14, 15 years old. Little did I know how stinking hard it was going to be for the first five years. I mean, it, It was incredibly hard. In -laws have a moving company, so I worked for them during the day. I’d come in the office at night, and I’d make cold calls all night long, some design work on the side, design logos, doing some websites and stuff like that.
So the first two or three years wasn’t just selling insurance. It was picking any odds and end jobs that I could pick up to make this thing work. I had a wife who stayed at home. I had two babies at the house. So, I mean, I had to work my tail off. A couple years ago, man, I was stuck in a rut.
I really honestly was. And I couldn’t see it. Not because I was doing it wrong. It’s because I didn’t know any better. Rates were not good. Selling was difficult.
Staffing was just unbelievably difficult to keep good staff in here. I was having a ton of turnover. And I was about ready to hang it up and sell out. I was just done. And that’s about when I got introduced to the concept of the will of wealth. thrive.
Some of the specific things I’ve learned about running my business is systems and being organized. Before, I think I just kind of shot from the hip a lot of times. But man, since I started this whole journey, I’ve developed systems for each of the employees, but not just the employees, but for the position. So the fear of wondering when I’m gone, wondering if things are being done, I don’t have to worry. worry quite as much. Business -wise, we finally got over the hump and we’re actually growing again, whereas before we were just declining, declining, declining, and now we’re back up and we’re back over what we were a couple of years ago now.
The training is ongoing, even from where I’m at now. I still feel like I need to get further. The training itself is just, it’ll rock your world. It really will change the way you think and and look at business. So all those things just kind of culminated into this big, successful business that I feel like I have now. All that stuff has just been life altering, man.
Hi, I’m Bob Healy. This is a grill gun. It’s got a propane tank on it. Remember, propane tank, this liquid propane, the gas is on the top. Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the grill gun. From February to February.
Now I can better that. OK, 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. 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. So we’re pinching ourselves, actually. to creating an actual product, to selling copious amounts of their product online to real humans that really do appreciate the real products and real services that they provide.
And so without any further ado, my name is Clay Clark, and I’m inviting you, I’m inviting, I’m encouraging you to grab a pen and a pad and prepare to enter into the lab and the dojo of Mojo Fosho as we teach you how to start and grow a super successful online sales business. Here we go. My name is Dr. Enes Shakirgil. And my company’s name is Logos Trading Post. And it goes logostradingpost . com.
It’s L -O -G -O -S tradingpost . com. If you had to describe as a percentage the kind of growth that you’ve had, I mean, is there even a percentage you can put on it? Because I think when we first started on Logos, I think it was zero sales or maybe just very little sales. Is there some kind of percentage of growth that you could share? Yeah, something like 30 ,000 % growth.
I don’t know. I mean, we’re very busy. We have so much customers, so much wholesale customers and retail customers, and constantly growing, and we’re constantly needing to hire more people. I’m not complaining. We are, this is becoming, our wholesale business becoming household name.
There are so many established, uh christian giftware companies out there They’ve been out there for 20 30 years, but we’re going head to head with them, especially for the retail space Uh that are really meaningful on the national chain levels. We are we are Um on so many national chains like we’re in hobby lobby that thankfully I mean you can go to hobby lobby this christmas and find some Uh, all the wood ornaments in small nativities came from betlehem. You will find them in their christmas section Go to hobby lobby and shop you’ll find logos there. How crazy is that? I just want to be clear i’m taking notes here, uh aggressively You’re something like 40 000 percent up. So for somebody out there, I think I got that number 40 000 40 000 percent up Uh, I just want to encourage everybody out there.
I mean, I I know you and this isn’t a backhanded compliment. You’re very normal You’re also a doctor. You’re also a pastor. You’re also a teacher. There’s a lot. But you’re just a diligent, hardworking guy.
And everybody out there can do it. Final two questions for you. What do you say to somebody who is in that foundational stage? They’re trying to build something. And maybe they’re going to our website, Thrive Time Show. And they’re thinking about scheduling a free consultation with myself and our team.
What would you say to somebody out there that’s kind of finding themselves where you are? Do it, do it, do it, go talk to Clay Clark. He’s a great guy, he’s very knowledgeable. If you need help, if you’re starting up, or even if you’re mature, I do believe you can help any business. You have had your own businesses, your own background, you had a lot of, you know, your fingers in a lot of different things. So you understand, especially when it comes down to sales, Um, you know, one thing that isn’t implemented, you try, you try to train me on that, having people do phone sales that that’s something I didn’t know.
but you were doing that really, really well in several of your businesses. So something like that, somebody wants to have a sales, because what really helps, sales is the blood of a company. Without sales, you’re dead, literally. So you want to increase your sales and learn how to do that and getting some scripts, yeah, ClickClark can definitely help you. I do believe you can help. Anybody.
One thing that we do for clients, and I want to make sure everyone has this understanding, is growing a business is more like growing a garden. And someone says, what? It’s more like growing a farm. What? Well, I have a farm and I also have a garden. So let me explain this to you.
We all get excited about planting the seeds. We all get excited about having the idea of a farm. But somebody has to go collect the eggs every day from the chickens. Somebody has to pull the weeds every day from the garden. And it’s that iteration process, that perpetual iteration Well, it starts with a foundation. So my relationship with your firm was foundational.
If you don’t have a strong foundation, you cannot put another brick into your wall, and another brick, and another brick, and another brick. And then you’re making this window, then a wall, and then you’re putting the roof. And then, hey, this is a house now. Well, let’s do an addition. Now you can start another thing, which that’s what I’ve been doing. Then next thing you know, you have a complex of different houses or you own the whole neighborhood.
So those are your brands. I think I’m up to five different registered brands now. And as I said, 3 ,000 different products and thousands of thousands of clients. But that takes time. It’s just one thing at a time. You have a lot of expertise.
You have a lot of people on your team that knows how to do things. So learning, like I learned from you guys, the getting counselors around you or finding the businessmen out there. done it, and asking good questions and asking advice, because everybody wants to help everybody. Did you remember how you and I first met many years ago? Do you remember how you and I first, how you first heard about what we do? Because I’ve been doing the same thing for 20 years.
But how did you first come in contact with myself and our team here? Well, a common friend. Told me about try 15 and I started watching try 15 back then. Uh, you were, I think you were launching it and as, as I watched it and understood your teachings and what you guys able to do, I decided to reach out and see if you would consult for me. That’s how it started. So you guys helped me with my DVD company back then and also helped me lunch this, um.
with your designers. Now, rapid fire, my final four questions for you here, and I’ll make sure my questions are nice and succinct. One is, you know, give us maybe a 60 second overview. Why should everybody check out LogosTradingPost . com at least once? Why should everybody at least go to the website, at least check out LogosTradingPost .
com? Well, if you want biblically based meaningful gifts this Christmas, Check out my website. You will find them. You will find something. Or if you’re a church who needs to bless a pastor or a member, you should check that out. Just recently I had a client send us an email saying, look, I want that keychain.
I want to give it away to every attendees of my husband’s funeral as a memory to him. So she was asking for an extra discount. We said, we are more than happy to support that. So, uh, people come in and find something really meaningful that touches their heart. That’s a little, little item that they use. life.
I mean, it’s family, it’s life, it’s ministry, it’s the word of God. So if you want to have something into that nature, you can come check my website. I’m pretty sure you’re going to find something. Somebody out there, they’re watching this and they feel stuck. They go, man, can’t code a website, can’t make logos. I have this product.
Hopefully it’s not a competitor trying to sell olive wood products, but you get the idea. What do you say to somebody out there that’s that entrepreneur that has the product idea, they have a product, maybe even a prototype ready to go, but they feel stuck. What’s the best advice you’d give them maybe as a step one? Step one, get other people around you that knows what they’re doing and they have experience. Get guidance. That’s what I would say.
Definitely. As I said, there’s safety in the multitude of counselors. So learn from other people. Get some expertise around you. That’s the step one. Be humble, be teachable, and results will come in from consistency and having faith.
Eventually it will come. It may take time. A lot of times, guys like you get off a podcast like this, and you go, I wish that guy would have asked me that question. Is there anything on your heart right now you want to share in the final 60 seconds we have? I’ll give you the final word. Anything you want to share with our listeners out there that are obviously looking up your website?
They’re looking up logostradingpost . com. They’re looking you up. They know that you’re the founder of fishflix . com before your exit. So these people are knowing you now from multiple different successful ventures.
What’s the final word you want to share with our listeners? Well. um if you’re hearing this and you are a man of god and you you believe in jesus and you’re christian and and you want to do something unto god then then got to have to ask God to help you every step of the way. Dr. Innes, thank you so much for agreeing to be on our podcast today. Thank you so much for sharing your words of encouragement.
I encourage everybody out there, if you don’t hate yourself, if you’re listening to today’s show and you don’t hate yourself, go check out LogosTradingPost . com. Now, for some reason you do hate yourself. Go to LogosTradingPost . com. Perhaps you can find yourself an inspirational, biblical item to purchase, maybe an olive wood item, maybe some challenge coins, maybe some Catholic gifts, maybe some jewelry, maybe some pins, maybe some bookmarks.
Check it out. LogosTradingPost . com. Dr. Anis, you’re a living legend. Take care, sir, and we’ll talk to you soon. Thank you.
Bye -bye. Thanks a lot for having me. from Tulsa, Palm Beach. I’m in the charcoal grilling industry, and the name of my business is Grillblazer. How will I apply what I’ve learned so far into my business? I’m actually a client of the Tri15, and I learned so much from what I’m learning at this conference and from my regular weekly attendances that it’s helping me establish the business and get it off the ground. Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the grill gun.
this nozzle on the top you slightly turn like almost nothing so a little bit of the gas starts coming out and then you press the trigger. You can either turn the nozzle on the top to have more power and this one here is a full power trigger basically madness. Push it down and yeah it is a lot of fun There’s not another conference like it. You just don’t go to a carnival atmosphere and learn like we do here at the Thrive Conference. It’s great.
The reason people should attend at least one of these conferences is because it’s common sense. And everybody’s fed an entire line about the way you should run a business, but until you actually experience running a business, which is, candidly, what you learn here, how to run a business, you don’t know what you’re doing. Clay Clark is here somewhere. Where’s my buddy Clay? Clay’s the greatest. I met his goats today.
I met his dogs. I met his chickens. I saw his compound. He’s like the greatest guy. I ran from his goats, his chickens, his dogs. So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right?
His entire life, Clay Clark, his entire life is marketing. Clay, you’re an entrepreneur. I’m an entrepreneur. And as they say in Stoic, the obstacle is the way. And so if you let these pinheads get in your way, you’re in trouble. Robert, one of the things that you said on multiple interviews, multiple times, and every time you said it, I thought to myself, have I not been paying attention?
Because it felt like new information to me. The first time I heard it, which is probably the 50th time I’d heard it, you said, octa, non -verba. And maybe the first time you said it, I was driving while I’m, you know, listening to the podcast while driving. And maybe I was half paying attention, but I, octa, non -verba. And then it was like a, almost like an angelic moment. for me.
And I octa non -verba. And once I finally understood what it meant and what you were saying and how it could be used, I, I think it was a life -changing for me and how I approach business. Could you explain octa non -verba, what it means and how our listeners could apply it? Clay, you gave me goosebumps, man. I’m glad it hit you as hard as it did. Octononverba is the motto of the U . S.
Merchant Marine Academy at Kingspoint, New York. I had appointments with Naval Academy and Kingspoint Merchant Marine Academy, and Merchant Marine Academy’s motto was Octononverba. In other words, don’t listen to what a person says. Watch what they do. Clay, my honor, my honor to be on your show, and thank you for all you do.

com. Hey, I’m Ryan Wimpey. 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, so having linear workflow and seeing that mapped out on multiple different boards is pretty awesome. 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.
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. Hilarious. 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, 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 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.
Clay Clark is here somewhere. Where’s my buddy Clay? Clay’s the greatest. I met his goats today. I met his dogs. I met his chickens.
I saw his compound. He’s like the greatest guy. I ran from his goats, his chickens, his dogs. So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right? His entire life, Clay Clark, his entire life is.. A lot of people don’t know this, but the Trump Organization has thousands of employees.
There’s not 50 employees. The Trump Organization, again, most people don’t know this, but the Trump Organization has thousands of employees. And while Donald J. Trump was the 45th president of these United States, he needed a competent man to run and execute his business plans. Showtime! So the man that runs the Trump Organization for Donald J. Trump as he was the 45th president of the United States, and now the 47th president of the United States is Eric Trump. So Eric Trump is here to talk about time management, promoting from within, marketing, branding, quality control, sales systems, workflow design, workflow mapping, how to build.
I mean, everything that you see, the Trump hotels, the Trump golf courses, all their products, the man who manages Billions of dollars of real estate and thousands of employees is here to teach us how to do it. You are talking about one of the greatest brands on the planet from a business standpoint. I mean, who else has been able to create a brand like the Trump brand? I mean, look at it. And this is the man behind the business for the last pretty much since 2015. He’s been the man behind it.
So you’re talking, we’re into nine, going into 10 years of him running it. And we get to tap into that knowledge. That’s going to be amazing. Now think about this for a second. But Clay Clark, man, he is one character. That’s a good word for him.
Character. 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, you know, he’s endorsed by his mother and he’s doing magnificent work. So it was great meeting you out there. and all the people that he surrounds himself with. His client Clark starts his days at five o ‘clock in the morning. Oh, it’s incredible. Yeah, he’s he’s like, he’s he’s a machine.
He’s a machine. But his you know, I could I have problems with my company starting at nine o ‘clock. Yes. Hundreds of people showing up at 5am in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Man, he’s a leader of a leader. He’s fantastic.
Yeah, man. No, he is. The lineup continues to grow. And this is how we do our tickets here at the Thrive Time Show. If you want to get a VIP ticket, you can absolutely do it. It’s $500 for a VIP ticket.
We’ve always done it that way. Now, if you want to take a general admission ticket, it’s $250 or whatever price you want to pay. And the reason why I do that and the reason why we do that is because we want to make our events affordable for everybody. I grew up without money. I totally understand what it’s like to be the tight spot. So if you want to attend, it’s $250 or whatever price you want to pay.
That’s how I do it. And it’s $500 for a VIP ticket. Now, we only have limited seating here. The most people we’ve ever had in this building was for the Jim Brewer presentation. Jim Brewer came here, the legendary comedian Jim Brewer came to Tulsa, and we had 718 people. 718 people.
And I thought to myself, there’s no more room. I felt kind of bad that a couple people had VIP seats in the men’s restroom. No, I’m just kidding. So I thought, you know what, we should probably add on. So again, if you want to get tickets for this event, all you have to do is go to thrivetimeshow . com, go to thrivetimeshow .
com. When you go to thrivetimeshow . com, you’ll go there, you’ll request a ticket, boom. Or if you want to text me, if you want a little bit faster service, you say, I want you to call me right now. Just text my number. It’s my cell phone number, my personal cell phone number.
We’ll keep that private between you, between you, me, everybody. We’ll keep that private. And anybody, don’t share that with anybody except for everybody. That’s my private cell phone number. It’s 918 -851 -0107. 9 -1 -8 -8 -5 -1 -0 -1 -0 -2.
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 9 -1 -8 -8 -5 -1 -0 -1 -0 -2. That is not actually bilingual. That’s just saying Juan 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. 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, 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. You want to get that 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 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. Why does everybody have to learn how to manage people? Well, because, first of all, you either have great people or you have people who suck. And so it can be a challenge. 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. 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 personal finance, how to manage your finance. We’re going to teach you time management. How do you manage your time?
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.
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.
And 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.
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, 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, to stretch and to make it entertaining when you’re stretching.
true story. When you get up and stretch, you’ll be greeted by mariachis. There’s going to probably be alpaca here, llamas, helicopter rides, a coffee bar, a snow cone. I mean, it’s just you had a crocodile one time. That was pretty interesting. I should write that down.
And I’m sorry for that one guy. We lost the crocodile. We duct taped its face. So that’s right. We duct taped a baby crocodile tape. Yeah.
Duct tape around the mouse. It didn’t bite anybody. But it was really cool. That thing around. And I should I should do that. I should.
We have a small petting zoo that will be assembled. It’s going to be great. And then you’re in the company of hundreds of entrepreneurs. So there’s not a lot of people in America today. In fact, there’s less than 10 million people today, according to U . S.
debt clock that identifies being self -employed. So if you have a country with 350 million people that means you have less than 3 percent of our population that’s even self -employed.
