Audio Transcription

Transcribed with Cockatoo

(Speaker 2)
Don’t you hate that? An idea flashes across your mind, feels so sharp, so clear, and you say to yourself, I’ll remember that one. That’s genius. How could I forget it? And then, a half hour later, gone, like it never happened. That’s the mystery of the mind.

(Speaker 2)
It can give you brilliance in a moment, then take it back just as quick. See, ideas are like little gifts. They’re whispers. They don’t come with a guarantee. They don’t hang around long, waiting for you to get ready. They show up, and if you don’t capture them, they’re gone.

(Speaker 2)
And here’s the tragedy. Sometimes those ideas could have been worth a fortune, could have been the seed that changed your business, changed your health, changed your relationships. But because you didn’t write it down, you lost it. Think of it this way. Life gives all of us chances, opportunities, a word we overhear, a line in a book, a moment in conversation. And the person who learns to seize it, to hold it, to put it where they can return to it later, that’s the person who rises.

(Speaker 2)
That’s the person who builds wealth, who builds character, who builds a future. Now, why do so many miss it? Because they think ideas are casual. They say if it’s important, they’ll remember. But listen, the human mind is busy. It’s juggling bills, problems, chores, conversations.

(Speaker 2)
An idea comes floating through like a feather in the wind. If you don’t catch it, the wind carries it off. And tomorrow, you’re left with nothing but a faint feeling that you were about to think of something good. I was poor when I met Mr. Shoaff. Broke. Clueless.

(Speaker 2)
But I had a hunger to change. And he told me to start capturing ideas. He didn’t say to wait until I was rich. He didn’t say to wait until I knew what to do with them. He said to start now. So I did.

(Speaker 2)
I bought myself a little notebook. Cost me less than a dollar. And that notebook became the beginning of my library. Over the years I filled journal after journal. Notes from books. Notes from seminars.

(Speaker 2)
My own reflections. And sometimes I’d go back months later and read a line I’d written and look at that. There’s the answer I’ve been looking for. You know, sometimes you don’t see the full value of an idea the day you catch it. Sometimes it needs time, like seeds in a jar. But if you don’t put them in the jar, you won’t have anything to plant when the season comes.

(Speaker 2)
The reason most people live ordinary lives is not lack of intelligence. It’s not even lack of opportunity. It’s lack of captured ideas. Imagine what your life would look like if you had saved every good idea that ever crossed your mind in the last 10 years. Every insight from a conversation, every flash of inspiration. What would that pile look like today?

(Speaker 2)
You can’t change the past, but you can start today.

(Speaker 3)
You’re doing great. Appreciate you having me. Listened to this show for a long time, so it feels surreal to be on here. My name is Luke Body, B -O -D -D -Y. So I always say it’s B -O to the double D -Y, yo. And my company is called Concrete Block Supply.

(Speaker 1)
And I’m not asking you to share about your financial numbers, but I think it’s safe to say you’ve had exponential growth. Maybe that’s a safe way to say it. You’ve had exponential growth. Is that a safe way to describe the growth that you’ve had there at Concrete Block Supply?

(Speaker 3)
Yeah, we’ve done pretty well. Yeah, we’ve been working together almost four years. So it was something that just listening to your show, I probably listened to, I mean, a thousand of your podcasts. And it was like, Hey, as soon as we get going, I’m gonna bring these guys on. It seems like a great fit and will be perfect for us. So we did build just like a cheaper website to like get proof of concept, get it going.

(Speaker 3)
And then six months into it, that’s when we hired you guys. So it was like, December 2021.

(Speaker 1)
Folks, there are a million ways to make a million dollars. There’s a million ways. And on The Thrive Time Show, we interview, you know, like the founder of Hobby Lobby, or we’ll interview the founder of FUBU, or the founder of Netflix. I mean, we’ve interviewed Wolfgang Puck. We interview these people. And although they’ve had massive success today, I like to catch them and interview them about how they got started, how they went from the bottom to the top.

(Speaker 1)
I love to hear their origin stories. Sometimes I like to interview entrepreneurs that maybe aren’t as well -known, but their businesses are really booming. They’re really putting in the effort to grow a company. On today’s show, I want to share with you a story about a company called BinBlockSupply . com. You’re going to want to put that into your smartphone.

(Speaker 1)
You’re going to want to put that onto your web browser. That’s BinBlockSupply . com. BenBlockSupply . com because today’s guest has built a multi -million dollar company. Again, BenBlockSupply .

(Speaker 1)
com. And if you’re out there today and you say, I too want to build a super successful company, I believe that this story, this gentleman here, has the capacity and the tenacity needed to get it done. out of your gridlock and get you fired up that you can actually do it.

(Speaker 3)
And with that being said, Luke, welcome onto the Thrive Time Show. How are you, sir? I’m doing great.

(Speaker 1)
I appreciate you having me. I’ve listened to this show for a long time, so it feels surreal to be on here. OK, well, I got to ask you, first off, there’s a lot of holograms, a lot of AI, a lot of scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, scam, They have to be the first into the marketplace. They have to have a ton of connections. They have to have, maybe they’re too young, they’re too old to get started. People always feel like maybe success isn’t for me.

(Speaker 3)
Tell us your story, Luke. When did you start this company? Yeah, so I’ll go back just a little bit further. I did sales for a steel building company for like 15 years. And then my friends owned a precast concrete company. And they were they’re building a new production facility and they wanted someone to run their company while they were doing that.

(Speaker 3)
And so I came on, came on with them and I felt really underqualified to run their company. It just wasn’t something I had done in the past. And so I just started binging like books, podcasts, everything I could possibly think of to better myself and get get better, quicker and faster. And so we ended up forexing that company that was 80 years old in four years. And I think that was just implementing a lot of the things that I listened to on your show. And about two years into that, I teamed up with

(Speaker 1)
the owners of that company to start this one. I’ve been doing it for almost five years now. Now, when did we first start working with you? Because I believe that when we first connected, I remember talking to you, and I remember going, this idea is going to work.

(Speaker 3)
When you explained it to me, I knew it was going to work. Do you remember when we first connected? Yeah, we’ve been working together almost four years. So it was something that, you know, just listening to your show, probably I probably listened to I mean, 1000 of your podcast. And it was like, hey, as soon as we get going, I’m gonna bring these guys on. It seems like a great fit and will be perfect for us.

(Speaker 3)
So we did build just like a cheaper website to like get proof of concept, get it going.

(Speaker 1)
And then six months into it, that’s when we hired you guys. So it was like, December 2021. Now, I’m going to have everybody do the little challenge here, because this is the proofs in the pudding a little bit. But you guys have concrete block Concrete block supply. That’s what you sell, concrete block supply. So I want everyone to go to Google right now, do a search for concrete block supply.

(Speaker 1)
And when you do that, I want everyone to click on your website there, concrete block supply. I want everyone to do it. So we’re all going to go right now.

(Speaker 14)
We’re going to Google concrete block supply.

(Speaker 1)
We’re clicking Enter. Boom. We find your website. We go to the website. Tell us what are the things that you sell on this website. I don’t think a lot of people know that what you sell is even a niche.

(Speaker 1)
What is it that you sell?

(Speaker 3)
Break it down for us. What is it that you actually sell? Yeah, so we sell large concrete blocks. They have a multitude of names. I mean, people call them bin blocks, ecology blocks, mafia blocks, waste blocks, soldier blocks. What they are is large concrete blocks.

(Speaker 3)
They’re usually like six feet long.

(Speaker 1)
two feet wide, two feet tall, and they come in a couple other variety of sizes, but they are a product that’s made with leftover concrete, and people use them to build storage material bins, retaining walls, anchors for tents. You name it, you can come up with something for them to be used for. Now, I’m kind of a sick freak where I get excited about these kinds of things. But when I do a search, I went online, I remember you’re telling me about these eco blocks. And I’m thinking, eco blocks? How come I haven’t heard about these ecology blocks?

(Speaker 1)
What’s an ecology block? So I began researching it, and I discovered that what you said is true, that you guys are selling concrete, a lot of which is left over from construction. And it’s somehow utilized or repackaged and then sold. Could you walk us through a little bit how that process works? Because when I first heard about unused concrete being used to put together ecology blocks, I was a little bit confused.

(Speaker 3)
Walk us through that process. how does that, how does unused concrete become a block that you can then sell? Yeah, for sure. So, so let’s say that you’re, you know, wanting to pour a patio at your house, or a large slab or anything, and you order 10 yards of concrete. So the truck rolls out there, and you don’t want to, you want to make sure that you have enough concrete, so you don’t want to short it. So you pour your concrete, and they have two yards of concrete left.

(Speaker 3)
And now they have this in the, the cement truck, and they’re like, Okay, what are we going to do this, we can go dump it out somewhere, or we can go back and we can put it in these forms, and we can make blocks out of it. And so that’s what happens is the excess concrete from jobs gets put into these forms.

(Speaker 1)
Or maybe someone’s doing a highway job, you know, big project, and something happens, and they already batched up the concrete for this job, and they don’t have a use for somewhere else for the concrete to go, so they dump it in the forms.

(Speaker 3)
Now, so our concrete, our large, because I did poured concrete in high school. Are these large concrete companies that pour concrete, basements, foundations, these kind of things, are they running around where they’re actually keeping forms to make these standard sizes? Usually it goes back to the ready -mix plant.

(Speaker 1)
the ReadyMix plant is usually who’s doing it. There are a few companies that probably use the Dexler concrete themselves, but most of the time it’s just going back to the ReadyMix plant. I’m not asking you to share about your financial numbers, but I think it’s safe to say that you’ve had exponential growth. Maybe that’s a safe way to say it.

(Speaker 3)
You’ve had exponential growth.

(Speaker 1)
Is that a safe way to describe the growth that you’ve had there at Concrete Block Supply? Yeah, we’ve done pretty well. And so let’s get into the nitty -gritty for the entrepreneurs out there that are really wanting to dial in and figure out how they can turn their ideas into success. There’s a four -step plan. I teach every single client. And then there’s a lot of details that go into that.

(Speaker 1)
But step one, we have to find a problem. How did you originally know, wow, there’s a problem out there that I could solve? When did that occur to you where you’re going, oh, there’s a problem. I can solve it. I got this.

(Speaker 3)
Here we go. When did that initial idea that you could solve this problem come into your mind? Yeah, working at the Precast plant, it was something that customers would call us and ask for. My job was to grow the company.

(Speaker 1)
And so I was always looking to come up with new products or new ways to increase our sales. And when people were calling us for this, these products, I figured out a way to get it done. So there’s a problem. Step two, there’s a solution. You had to find the solution. You just mentioned it.

(Speaker 1)
But when you’re sitting there talking to friends, family, people around you, are you sharing this idea with people?

(Speaker 8)
to kind of get their idea whether they think you’re nuts or not?

(Speaker 1)
Are you journaling?

(Speaker 3)
Yes. How did you kind of know you were stumbling upon an actual solution? Well, we did it there for a couple years locally. And then one day I thought like, why are we doing this locally when I can roll this out nationwide. I talked to my wife about it.

(Speaker 1)
She was super nervous because I keep on quitting high paying jobs to earn myself more time freedom. And she was like, Oh, here we go again. Now, this is big, though, because I have started and grown many successful companies. And I’ll just give people an example. I’ll switch gears just for a second. One of the businesses I’m involved with, we train dogs.

(Speaker 1)
That’s what we do. And I wish it was a sexier industry.

(Speaker 14)
I wish I could say, oh, man, we’re revolutionizing the way that people live their daily life.

(Speaker 1)
We’re helping older people to live longer and healthier. We’re not. We’re training dogs. Now, when you train dogs, it does help improve the quality of life for the pet owner. But we’ve had to do a lot of core, repeatable, actionable processes to build this company, MakeYourDogEpic . com.

(Speaker 1)
We’re now the highest rated, most reviewed dog training company in America. We continue to grow. But again, step one, we found a problem. Step two, we had a solution. Step three, we had to sell the solution. Eventually, we had to sell the solution.

(Speaker 1)
Eventually, and there’s somebody watching today’s show, and they have their idea, but they’re not selling anything. And in my opinion, you just have a theory until you’re doing some sales. Could you talk to us about, the listeners out there, how did you first go about selling it? Or when did you first go about, OK, I got a problem.

(Speaker 3)
I got a solution. Now I’m going to actually sell something. Do you remember that moment or that kind of in your mind of when you first started selling the solution? Yeah, I mean, in first we when people were calling for that, because we made a variety of concrete products, and I worked at the precast plant. And at first, we were telling people no, and the owners were like, that’s what we know, no, no.

(Speaker 3)
And I’m like, Alright, let’s figure out how we can get it done.

(Speaker 1)
And so finally, I said, Hold on a minute, let me get a proposal put together for you. So I worked out the solution of how to get those to the customer put together quote, and they like, yeah, let’s do it. And we just started going from there and expanding upon that. So Find a problem, find a solution. Step three, you sell the solution. Step four, you nail it and scale it.

(Speaker 1)
And again, we’re not going to get into all the nitty gritty of all the things we’re doing behind the scenes to do that. But that’s kind of when you and I met, is when we were nailing it and we’re scaling it. And we’re constantly refining it and tweaking it. Could you talk about the nailing it and scaling it part?

(Speaker 3)
What does that look like in your world once you start generating some sales and you’re like, OK, I have to scale this up? We have to turn this into something that’s going to employ many people, something that’s going to be able to do do multimillion dollars worth of transactions? What does the process look like of scaling a company? Well, it’s pretty boring. It’s do the same, you know, come up with your actions and do them repeatedly over and over again. I mean, it’s, you know, getting more content on your website, creating more, more content, you know, getting more Google ads.

(Speaker 3)
And then it’s coming up with scripts for your people, you know, getting all that figured out. And then it’s hiring people, training them, making sure that they are saying the right things, doing the right things, overcoming any problems that you see as you start to scale, because the first is just me doing it, and then it’s teaching someone else how to do it, and then it’s teaching another person how to do it, and making sure everybody’s doing the same thing. And I would talk to my coach that you guys assigned to me, and I’d be like, oh my gosh, this is so boring. He’s like, yeah, that’s part of it. It’s just doing the same thing over and over again.

(Speaker 1)
over again. And it’s like, okay, we’ve been doing this for almost five years now. And it’s like, same thing every week. And that’s one of the things, I mean, we’re gonna interview the founder of Hobby Lobby here in a couple of weeks on our show, David Green. And for anybody out there that doesn’t know, Hobby Lobby is a multi -billion dollar company. I mean, it is a multi -billion dollar company.

(Speaker 1)
It’s a multi -billion dollar company. You think about the success of that company. They’re doing the same thing over and over. Another example, Oxifresh, this is a brand that I’ve worked with now for 18 years. We have over 500 locations, and we are doing the same thing over and over. I always tell my clients, the greats bore down, while most people struggle with boredom.

(Speaker 1)
as I get into my stack of my final five questions for you, what do you do to keep yourself boring down and to keep yourself from struggling with boredom?

(Speaker 3)
Because I actually am a sick freak in that I enjoy stupid, repetitive tasks that produce results. But a lot of my clients tell me, they’re like, that’s not normal, man. So how do you bore down? Yeah, I am one of those people that don’t enjoy it. It was fine for one or two years, and then it starts to get monotonous. I just make myself do it.

(Speaker 3)
Because I know, like, these are the steps that I need to do to make more sales to grow the company to build a moat. You know, and so I just make myself do it.

(Speaker 1)
It’s like, I like the, the tracking sheet that we have for the for coaching. And so it makes me go through the numbers each week. And then on Wednesdays, every week, I go through and get the content ready for to get added to the website each week. Now, my next question, I got four more here. This is this is big for some out there. The more and more you’ve attempted to sell this product.

(Speaker 1)
And again, folks, if you’re watching this show and you’ve not gone to the website, if you’re looking for a great time, you go, should I go on to Netflix and watch Happy Gilmore? Well, maybe you could do that. But for the ultimate time, you go to concreteblocksupply . com. That’s where you go for a great time. But for people out there that more and more people, you’ve run into more and more people that aren’t familiar with what you do.

(Speaker 1)
And so over time, by default, or osmosis, or just through iterations, you start to develop almost like an elevator pitch.

(Speaker 3)
or a quick, succinct way to explain what you do to people that don’t know what you do.

(Speaker 1)
How would you now describe what you’re doing at ConcreteBlockSupply . com? Can you make sure the listeners out there, what is it? How would you describe what you do for people out there that are not familiar? So we sell large concrete blocks nationwide. Simple as that.

(Speaker 1)
Okay, question number three of my five here. Who is your ideal and likely buyer?

(Speaker 3)
I mean, are you selling typically to, you know, Joe Schmo down the street? Are you selling to municipalities? Are you selling to airports? Are you selling primarily to the Iranian government? I mean, who are you selling to primarily?

(Speaker 1)
Construction companies mainly. They’re, you know, working on some project and the Ben Blocks are a portion of some other part of the project, you know, maybe they’re doing a $5 million project, and we’re going to do $2 ,000 of that supply blocks so that they can either block some traffic off, hold something back, hold something down, you know, and with the construction companies, usually we get paid up front. I mean, that’s the biggest thing is always get paid up front when you work with your municipality. So many times they want to do net terms, and just, you know, fix your cash flow, we will do it. But with the construction companies that get paid up front, so they’re our ideal and likely buyer. Okay, no final two questions for you.

(Speaker 1)
For somebody out there watching today’s show, and they’re going, I’m, for whatever reason, I found this show.

(Speaker 29)
And I think I am going to reach out to Concrete Block Supply, because I am a

(Speaker 3)
construction company, and I need the products. Why should everybody check out your company there, ConcreteBlockSupply . com? There’s a lot of great competitors out there, a lot of great companies, but you’re becoming an industry leader.

(Speaker 1)
Why should everybody at least consider working with you and your team over there at ConcreteBlockSupply . com? because we’re going to get the job done whenever we say we’re going to get it done. If we say we’re going to get to the box this day and you need it for your project, we’re going to get it done. We have a multitude of resources to get that done for you. We have more resources than anybody else and we do what we say we’re going to do and we’ll answer the phone if you call any of the regular hours.

(Speaker 1)
I was talking to a client today, true story, who I’ll be meeting with here in just a little bit. He was telling me, he’s like, Clay, I am now making more money in a week than I used to make in a year. And this guy, I’ve worked with this guy for 10 years. And so we worked together every single week. He and his coach worked together every week to help him grow his company. But for people that are going to thrivetimeshow .

(Speaker 1)
com for the first time, and maybe they haven’t scheduled a free 13 -point assessment, they haven’t ever had a coach. I know for me, I work with winnersking . com. By the way, folks, I don’t make a commission, although I’ve asked. I work with the same attorneys year after year to make sure that my legal aspects of my company are not adrift. I work with CCK year after year.

(Speaker 1)
This is an accounting company in Tulsa. And by the way, I don’t make a commission, although I’ve asked. That’s CCK. Again, these are companies I would love it if they paid me a commission. mission, but I don’t. And people say, why do you work with cck, cpa .

(Speaker 1)
com, year after year? I tell people because the process of growing a business is a lot like growing a garden. You have to plant the garden, yes, but every week you have to sow the seeds.

(Speaker 28)
You have to water the seeds.

(Speaker 3)
You have to pull the weeds. It’s a process. It’s not an event. What do you say to somebody out there that’s not familiar with our business coaching platform and the things that we do for them? clients like you, could you maybe share about the impact that the business coaching has made on you and or your business? Just for anybody out there that’s not familiar with, you know, when they’re paying $1 ,700 a month for a business coach, I think some people out there are not familiar with the ecosystem, the conferences, and what we do for people like yourself.

(Speaker 3)
Yeah. Like I said earlier, it just holds you accountable. Going through, making sure, reviewing the numbers each week. I mean, on my spreadsheet, I have certain numbers I need to plug in. I have to go through them every week. Add up how much money did we get?

(Speaker 3)
How much money did we spend? What our new sales were? What our closing percentages were? Did I get pictures added to each of my Google listings? Did I get my new content ready? So that part holding me accountable.

(Speaker 3)
And then two, like we’ve added I mean, 10 pages of content to our website every week for years.

(Speaker 1)
I mean, that alone would be more expensive to pay somebody else.

(Speaker 3)
I talked to the individual that built our first website.

(Speaker 1)
And she was like, Oh, I’ll do $500 for every new page. And, you know, we can imagine how fast that would add up.

(Speaker 3)
And then, you know, with you guys also doing the additional SEO, you know, we pay for 1000s of dollars a month for extra SEO. So those things right there, it always just seems like a great bang for my buck, and also holds me accountable to keep the company growing. And also just Anytime I have questions about something, I can run it, bounce it off my business coach and get some ideas from him as well.

(Speaker 1)
Have you been to one of our in -person workshops before? I did go to one like three years ago.

(Speaker 3)
Did you laugh at all? Did you cry? Oh yeah, it was definitely a very entertaining time, good time. You know, the pizza was good.

(Speaker 1)
And I know there’s a lot of good content and very high energy. So what do you say to somebody out there that’s watching? maybe considering coming to one of our conferences or scheduling a free 13 point assessment for business coaching? Yeah, give it a give it a try. I mean, there’s not there’s really no risk. And I think that’s all upside.

(Speaker 1)
And like I said, I mean, the coaching website updates all the stuff that you guys do huge bang for your buck right there. Folks, if you’re watching today’s show and you don’t hate yourself, I encourage you to head on over there right now. Head on over there right now to this website here. Again, we’re going to go to the website.

Clay Clark is here somewhere.

Where’s my buddy, Clay?

(Speaker 1)
That is not actually bilingual. That’s just saying Juan for a Juan. 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?

(Speaker 1)
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, okay? Okay. You’re going to learn marketing, marketing and branding.

(Speaker 18)
What are we going to learn about marketing and branding?

(Speaker 1)
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 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.

(Speaker 1)
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. 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.

(Speaker 1)
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, people are, you 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.

(Speaker 1)
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.

(Speaker 1)
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?

(Speaker 1)
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.

(Speaker 1)
It’s two days. Each day, it starts at 7 a . m. and it goes until 5 p . m. So from 7 a .

(Speaker 1)
m. to 5 p . m. , two days. It’s a two -day interactive workshop. 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.

(Speaker 1)
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.

(Speaker 16)
I’ve been to lots of these things over the years, I’ve paid many thousands of dollars to go to them.

(Speaker 1)
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 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.

(Speaker 1)
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. 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.

(Speaker 17)
You could just grab a coffee.

(Speaker 1)
You could find some alone time. You could get lost in the bathroom. 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.

(Speaker 16)
Now that’s a good idea.

(Speaker 1)
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. 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 the size. No hyperbole, no exaggeration.

(Speaker 1)
I have thousands of testimonials to back this up. 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. And you say, double? Yeah, there’s business owners. that we have tripled, there’s businesses we’ve grown 8x, there’s so many examples you can see at thrivetimeshow .com.

(Speaker 1)
com. But again, this is the most interactive best business workshop on the planet. This is objectively the highest rated and most reviewed business workshop on the planet.
