Audio Transcription

Hi, this is Charles and Amber Kola. We’re the owners of Kola Fitness. We heard about Clay Clark through Paul Hood, our CPA. We’ve worked with Clay Clark for the last two years. Clay Clark has helped us take our three locations in three different states and create checklists, workflows, task lists, time blocks for every employee. He’s helped us with creating systems and audits for every department, quantitative scorecards for each department and every position so

5
that everybody has a number. It’s been able to give us a lot of time freedom and financial freedom and peace of mind to know that everything’s running efficiently and he’s been helpful with a lot of marketing, search engine optimization, helping us really rank high in Google, and pretty much every area of the business. It’s been very, very helpful.

26
We would describe the experience of working with Clay as very energetic.

11
He’s full of energy, he’s very encouraging, very motivating, but also accountable. So he keeps us accountable and we love that accountability. It keeps our drive in the right direction. So we’re not chasing things that aren’t worth spending our time on. He’s a great coach. He helps push

5
us on certain areas, helps coach us in certain areas. You know we’re all emotional creatures and we go up and down and he actually will tell us kind of where we’re at, how we can get from there and even like emotionally like we’re stressed about something you’ll have a story to relate to and really helps us in every area of our

11
business and very very helpful. I think Clay’s ability to have a whole team behind him that help him with all of his clients on coaching clients is that it allows Clay to do what he’s really good at, and that’s working one-on-one with the client and coaching them. And then he can have his amazing staff come in

11
and help you accomplish all these goals that you’re setting.

5
And of course, he has all these resources, whether it’s videographers or whether it’s web developers, that they can quickly jump on your project, knock things out. He can quickly give you the right coaching. He’s just got a whole team of people that whatever area you’re lacking in, in your own company, he’s got resources from like video, web design, search engine guys who are just knowledgeable in that. Even though he knows a lot of that stuff, he’s got who are just knowledgeable in that.

5
Even though he knows a lot of that stuff, he’s got these capable lieutenants that are ready to just take off and help you get that stuff. More stuff gets done on a weekly basis than you would on probably more…

18
Than an individual.

5
Yeah, than an individual or some other… We’ve worked with several companies before. Not as many things get done on a weekly basis. It’s been very helpful. Well the conferences for me, I’m a slow learner so I have to learn like over and over again, hear things over and over again. I’ve been to like I think eight different conferences and each time you come I learn a few new

5
components. Some things are repetitive but a lot of the stuff just resettles and I get a little bit more depth into each component. So I mean I’ve been to eight of them. They’re all super entertaining. He’s very funny, very encouraging. You get to kind of self-reflect a lot. A lot of the stuff is really polarizing.

5
You do a personal inventory of yourself and you’ll think like, hey, I’ve really got to

11
work on this, really got to work on that. So, every time you come, I still get a lot of value out of it. And as much as every conference is the same, it’s totally different. So, I think we’ll hear stories we haven’t heard before. They’ll have entertainment or they’ll have speakers you didn’t have before. And you, like you said, you just always catch a different part of the material that maybe you didn’t catch before.

5
It’s worded differently. And it’s really cool because some people that you’ve seen like a year ago at a conference, now they’re being showcased as a success story. And you get to see their website. You get to see how their stats and all their metrics have improved and the revenue improved.

5
So it’s really cool to see people that just a year ago, that of course we’ve been here two years that just came that I met is now being successful it’s really encouraging to see other people you know make accomplish that stuff so the clay has helped us optimize our website and helped with really topping the right search engines that we need to make sure that we are very very competitive with all of our other competitors he’s done basically he outlines exactly what you need to be

5
accomplishing and he creates tasks that we have to accomplish and his team has to accomplish and I would say over the last two years we’ve totally ramped our website, we’re topping Google in every one of our markets, we’re just doing, I would say just doing really really good. I feel very very confident in all of our future locations and making sure that we’re in front of the ideal and likely buyer it’s very encouraging it’s important to me that to

5
know when I’m working with clay you know I’ve been in business for a while and met with him even when I already had three three businesses in three different states and to know that what I share with him is staying private he’s not sending that out to anybody else to know that I’m all when he’s working with me he’s only working with one other no other gyms that are a direct competition with me. It’s very encouraging to have something you can trust and rely on that he isn’t going to like somehow tell your

5
trade secrets or give information away. Just really awesome that he’s a trustworthy guy really cares about you as a client. For us it’s been a complete mind freedom because Clay has helped us create a lot of different documents and one sheets for every department, put quantitative score cards to each department and so for us it’s been very encouraging and gives us peace. Like as an entrepreneur it’s stressful you go to bed at night you’re worried like did we cover this, did we cover that, so he helps extract

5
everything out of your brain, in it from your business put it into document creation put it into checklists and workflows for every person in each department and make sure that everything’s getting done every week every month and funnel that all into KPIs or key performance indicators as you can see on a weekly basis to make sure you’re moving the needle in the right area of your company. It’s very encouraging and give you a complete mind

5
freedom and peace to know that that stuff’s created to easy to duplicate and scale your company.

11
Right, and then we can spend time doing what we’re really good at and just trust the system.

5
I honestly believe everybody needs a coach. I think we’re all inherently lazy and selfish and carnal. I truly believe that humans are humans. If we’re standing, we’d rather sit. If we’re sitting, we’d rather lay down. And if we’re laying down, we’d rather be asleep. So to have somebody that challenges you, have real active candor and be honest with you on every aspect of your company is really really encouraging to me

5
because I wanna know, I wanna work on what we’re weak at. I wanna see any areas that we’re not doing well in and see his perspective from a third party because you can look at your own business and just see the good. It’s good to have somebody who does this,

5
who’s done this with hundreds of companies. You know, really look at your company, reflect on your company, and see like little chinks in the armor to make sure you cover that up so your competition can’t get to you and that you’re successful overall in the big picture. Yes, I would recommend Clay Clark because he is a great friend, great encourager. To me, he’s been a wonderful friend.

5
He’s also, you can tell he cares. And he also, he has this wealth of knowledge. He’s worked with so many different companies and different businesses. He could take a concept that he’s used before in the past with somebody in a totally different industry and see how it would work perfectly for you

5
in whatever niche market you’re in or whatever type of service you’re providing. And so his brain is just a wealth of knowledge and just to have that type of perspective as a part of your team and your own company is huge, super valuable so I would definitely encourage people to use him but one thing is you got to be

5
coachable you got to be wanting to get feedback you got to be wanting to really grow your company you got to want to put that extra 10 hours a week to working on your business and not just in your business and so yes I would recommend it to anybody who’s wanting to grow their company and provide great systems, checklists, workflows,

5
great encouragement, and have accountability.

Hi, I’m Aaron Antus with Shaw Homes. I first heard about Clay through a mortgage lender here in town who had told me what a great job he had been doing for them. And I actually noticed he was driving a Lamborghini all of a sudden so I was willing to listen.

2
In my career I’ve sold a little over 800 million dollars in real estate. So honestly I 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

2
for the last 10 years here with Shaw Homes. And, I mean mean we’ve been a company that’s been in business for 35 years. We’ve 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

2
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. I am very glad that we met and had the opportunity to work with Clay. So the interaction with the team and with Clay

2
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.

2
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 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,

2
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

2
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. 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.

2
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

2
somebody that might have a better or different perspective than theirs. I would just really 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

2
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. 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. I would skip over anybody else you were thinking about and I would go straight to Clay and his team.

2
I guarantee you’re not gonna regret it because we sure haven’t.

1
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

1
what 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. 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.

1
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 brand, help market our business, our agents,

1
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

1
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,

1
building a business, having 16 agents. 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.

17
When you dream big, big things happen.

6
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.

6
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. Within the first six months of opening my clinic I

6
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

6
good talent, which is extremely difficult. 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

5
invariable in starting your own business. I’m Dr. Chad Edwards and I own

10
Revolution Health and Wellness Clinic. Clay, my honor, my honor to be on your show and thank you for all you do. I hear the ripple effects from you are good ripple effects.

18
You know what I mean?

10
People rave about what they learned from you.

5
So congratulations.

9
And we went from expecting maybe 250,000 this year to we’re at 400,000. Hi, I’m Kelsey with K&D’s Wood Refinishing. I’m a business owner at 23. So I’ve been working this K&D’s wood refinishing business owner at 23. So I’ve been working this K&D’s company for about five years now and we started working with Thrive not too long ago.

9
And we went from expecting maybe $250,000 this year to we’re at $400,000. That’s what we’re going to hit or exceed. So we’re pretty excited about that. It’s been pretty much just listening to what they have to say. Their hiring process has just really been incredible as far as finding good quality help and just the accountability of meeting up with them weekly and such good insight,

9
the resources that they have for specific business questions. It’s all been really incredible. It’s been a great experience. So I would recommend it to anybody.

10
And to be honest with you, we’re blown away with the results we’ve had

5
in just one quarter. It was one of the best things I’ve ever done. It freed my time, increased our sales, and at the end of the day, increased our profitability beyond my wildest expectations.

12
It’s been a significant investment, but it’s the best money I’ve ever spent. It’s been a very positive experience. We’ve only been at it for six months or so, and we’ve already seen a significant amount of growth, and I can see everything becoming much more organized, much more efficient. I know what my numbers are in a much more realistic way

12
on a day-to-day basis. So my experience has just been very positive overall.

7
You know, since working with Aaron, our leads have gone up dramatically. It’s not one of those things where it’s like, yeah, I kind of notice it’s holy cow. We’re all these, it’s, you almost feel overwhelmed at times. And it’s just our presence in general has been changed just dramatically.

7
Like Clay, he was dropping his wife off at the airport and he had his Flint Rock hat on and there was some other construction companies there and they asked him, it’s like, where the heck did you guys come from? You guys are everywhere now. And it’s, you just can’t get away from how noticeable of a difference that it makes.

7
There’s no denying. You know, just on a personal level, as far as what it’s like working with Aaron, he is just a consummate professional and just with an immense amount of dedication to the task at hand and to you as a company,

7
trying to help you succeed. I think I’ve said this before, but his availability to you,

4
he’s genuinely invested in your success and it’s been wonderful.

15
And I feel like that’s why the two of you work great together. Joe to me like obviously like the more technical, you’re probably the more visionary and that’s like the two of it coming together is what to me what makes it work and it’s like a missing piece for for us that I enjoy having. Hi I’m Amy Chaney. My husband and I

1
are owners of Chaney Construction here in Tampa, Texas. And I was a little skeptical at first because my husband’s tried to do things like this before, but once I was able to speak with Clay myself, I thought we need to give this a chance. So we were able to determine that this, the savings that we have from the decision that we made each month is gonna be roughly about $2,000 a week,

1
so it’s about eight grand a month. Plus we also made the decision to get rid of a billboard that hadn’t really brought us any business, and that was another $475 a month. It’s really gonna $8,500 a month, and that’s a really big deal.

1
So my first thoughts when Clay introduced us to the weekly Know Your number system was no big deal we don’t need to do that we have a secretary that’s an amazing QuickBooks person and so she enters all of that stuff and every single day for us so we don’t need to do that ourselves QuickBooks will pull a report that’s all we need we don’t need anything else there’s no sense in me double duty.

1
You know, Clay, do you understand how many transactions are in our bank statement every single month? It would take me forever to do. And so very resistant because I thought, we already know our numbers. We already have everything into QuickBooks

1
and we already know what we need to know and we can pull a report to provide you with that information. So some of the struggles and being able to complete this action item were getting the want to do it and once I actually decided okay Clay you can stop asking me I’m actually gonna sit down and do this every single week and actually got through it and that was it. I’ve made that commitment. It takes me maybe 20 minutes every Saturday morning

1
to go in and do the previous weeks. Now that I’ve been doing it for a while, I’m kind of on a roll, and so it makes it a lot easier. So one of the things we discovered when we started looking at the money this closely was that my husband doesn’t

1
want to know the numbers first of all and he pays good money to have someone do that for him because he just doesn’t want to know. It’s not his thing and so I had worked for an accountant previous to this so that’s kind of my thing and so for him to be able to sit down and take a look and see some of the things we’re spending money on that he probably didn’t even realize, or to realize how much we’ve been paying some employees that were not operating as A players.

1
And that was the big eye opener for my husband. But when he saw the numbers of what we were paying in payroll expenses for two team members that were not operating as eight players and hadn’t been for quite some time, that was a huge eye opener for him and he realized that he needed to take that emotion out of that decision and make it a business decision. It’s accountability for your secretary as well or your bookkeeper, whoever does your

1
books, especially if it’s not yourself, because if you’ve not ever had anybody embezzle money from you, then you’re very fortunate. So it’s really good to have that accountability. We’ve had that happen in the past to us, and so my secretary actually even came back to me and said,

1
hey Amy, I really appreciate that you’re doing this now, because now at the end of the month, if there’s not any money, then you know exactly where the money is spent. You and Jimmy have known exactly where the money is gone. So we’re not coming to her going, where’s all our money? You know, because that’s not a good position for her to be in either.

1
So, like I said, just knowing where your dimes are going is a huge deal and being able to know where to cut back from, that’s a big deal, but also the accountability for everyone on your team.

What I’ve seen from Clay and his group at Thrive is they’ll give you a simple system and it’s the simple systems are the ones that people can wrap their brain around. They’re the ones that people can work with on a day to day basis.

3
Hi there, my name is Stephanie Pipkin. I am 24 years old and I own Black River Falls Cleaning Services. We opened in April of 2019 and it is now mid-June of 2020. So I wanted to talk today about the success and growth I have achieved by implementing the Proven Path with Clay Clark’s team and my business coach Luke from Thrive Time. It has been insane to say the least. I started working with them in mid-February of

3
this year so we’re about four months in of working together and it has completely transformed my business in pretty much every facet. So I’m gonna check my notes here. So in four months my leads have tripled. I was getting probably like two leads a week now I’m getting more in the like 10 to 15 leads a week. I have doubled my number of employees. I’m now hitting the highest revenue weeks in the history of the

3
company week to week it seems like. We went from about six appointments today as our highest in February to now 14 to 15 appointments a day. And hiring quality employees has become much simpler and less stressful by using their systems for hiring. I typically only get maybe two complaints a month if that and everybody shows up to

3
work. I just have really high quality employees now, especially in something people typically consider a high turnover type of work. Cleaning houses, cleaning businesses. I have amazing employees now and I get rid of the ones who are not so amazing and bring on new ones because of group interviews and interviewing every single week.

3
It’s just been great and I don’t waste as much time on low quality candidates anymore. And your coach will hold you accountable, which I love. Again, the tough love is really great. Luke’s like a stern father figure, but he’s also nice, but also stern when he needs to be when I’m being lazy and not doing the things that I know I need to do because I don’t want to do them. So that’s just great.

3
Worth every penny. I mean I’d pay him a million dollars a month if I can and maybe someday I’ll be able to. But I would just say go for it. If it seems like a good fit, just go for it. Do what they say, even if you think it’s stupid or ridiculous, just do what they say because it’ll work. You know, people, when they look at my business, you know, people in my town, they think I’m lucky.

3
They think I’m just, you know, things just happen for me. And you know, maybe I am lucky, but it has a lot to do with hard work and, you know, perseverance and, you know, working till you cry sometimes. That’s just being an entrepreneur, which if you’re a place of, you know, of course I’m going to be successful. It’s an absolute because I have all this stuff in the background happening. And I have Luke and Clay and everybody on their team working really hard to make sure that I’m a success.

3
And I can tell that they are just so excited every single week when I’m having all these wins and things like that. They’re so excited for me. So it just it’s the best thing ever and I would suggest to anybody to work with them. So sorry for the long-winded reply but I just had so much to say and I could go on for hours probably about how amazing they are. But thank you to Clay and Luke and the entire team there

3
everything you guys have done for me and I am so excited to continue to work with you for years to come. Thanks so much for watching. My saying is,

10
if it’s important to you, hire a coach. And I think that’s one of the reasons people are not successful is they, you know, they eat a cheeseburger instead of hiring a coach, you know what I mean? And so my coach pushes me, they’re younger than me, they push harder, they’re trained. And as my rich dad always said, you know, amateurs don’t have a coach,

10
but professionals always have coaches. So I’ve always had coaches for whatever was important. My rich dad was one of those persons. I wanted to learn how to play Monopoly in real life. So he was my coach.

Well, Carter, we have an opportunity here at the Thrive Time Show to work with some really great business owners, people that are actually serious about growing their company. They go to thrivetimeshow.com

4
and they reach out to schedule a free 13 point assessment. And oftentimes I hop on the phone with these folks and we figure out if they’re a good fit. And once we start working with a client, our goal is to help the client to actually grow their actual business.

4
And on today’s show, we’re joined with a man who we’ve had the opportunity to work with. The company is called NWA Gutter Perfection. And my understanding, Carter, is that they’re up over 60%. Is that right? I would say that’s correct, yes.

4
DJ, welcome on to the Thrive Time Show. How are you, sir?

21
Good.

9
How are you doing, Clay?

4
I’m doing great. So for anybody out there who is doubting whether you’re a hologram or not, what’s the name of your company, sir? Gutter Perfection. How did you guys first hear about us?

24
Do you know?

14
It’s actually a friend of mine found out about your business conferences there, and then we went there. And I guess I was sold the first conference we went to.

If you go to nwagutterperfection.com you can see there are real company, there are real business, they really are growing. What markets do you service there DJ for people out there that might be looking for your services? What’s the market area that you service? Pretty much all in

14
Northwest Arkansas, Bentonville, Springdale, Fayetteville, Rogers,

9
the little surrounding towns there, too.

4
And again, if you go to the website here, folks, nwagutterperfection.com, you can see they are a real business, real people having real success. DJ, I really do appreciate your time today, sir, and we’ll talk to you soon.

What I’ve seen from Clay and his group at Thrive is they’ll give you a simple system. And it’s the simple systems are the ones that people can wrap their brain around. They’re the ones that people can work with on a day-to-day basis. And that simplicity brings power with it.

5
So it shocked me how simple some of the stuff is. And at times, I’m like why didn’t I think about that? Workflow creation, systematic marketing, and coaching has helped our church so much. You know, the workflow creation is what it really is, is they’re gonna look and see every moving part of your church, of your ministry, what needs to be done. And it’s gonna go up on a massive board. And so now what it does is it takes what you know needs to be done out of your heart and out of your head.

5
Really takes the pressure, the stress off your shoulders, and it puts it on the board where your entire team, your ministry can see exactly what you want them to do every day. And so they know this is the playbook. This is what we’re doing. And then there’s a laser sharp accountability with a meeting afterwards.

23
Did it get done or not?

10
Clay, you’re an entrepreneur, I’m an entrepreneur. And as they say in Stoic, the obstacle is the way. I think YouTube is a tremendous educational platform for good and bad. So you’ve got to really again, choose your teachers wisely as anything else.

10
So the biggest, best lesson sits in the back here. I think you do it and Dr. Z does it. Once you learn something, if you really want to learn it, you gotta teach it.

4
I think it was a life changing for me and how I approach business. Could you explain Okta Nonverba, what it means

2
and how our listeners can apply it?

10
Clay, you gave me goosebumps, man. I’m glad it hit you as hard as it did. Octa non verba is the motto of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York. I had appointments with Naval Academy

10
and Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy. And Merchant Marine Academy’s motto was octa non verba. In other words, don’t listen to what a person says,

8
watch what they do. Well, the first time that I ever met you, Clay, was at that first conference in Tulsa. And that was an incredible conference. And I was so impressed with just the whole thing, just the professionalism, you as a person, your business, your work ethic, and really just who you are.

8
And I was very impressed with all of that. And I thought, gosh, you know, this might be someone that I would really consider working with, like, maybe he could really help me. And that’s really what got me interested, because I was so impressed with just the professionalism of all of it. And I learned a lot, I come

8
about once a year to a business conference and I’d like to come more, but every year I try to come with my marketing girl with me. And we always learn something. We always learn something. And I think next year I’m gonna bring my husband

4
because he really needs to come too. And you’re in McKinney, Texas, right? So how long have you been an orthodontist in McKinney, Texas? So I’ve been an orthodontist for 26 years. And when you went to medical school, what percentage of the time in medical school or dentistry school, dental school, did they spend teaching you how to market and or grow your own practice? Absolutely zero. Zero marketing skills.

4
Okay. Okay. And I, and I, from when I talked to Andrew, you’re the coach who works with you, I’m always hearing that you’re more and more patients are coming in from Google. Could you talk about that? How much of an impact does it have having a, maybe a rebranded or updated website and Google leads coming in? It has had a huge difference, absolutely huge difference in our patient load coming in.

8
And you know, before I really wasn’t tracking really well. And that’s one of the things I learned from Thrive Time Business was how to track patients coming in, how to really, how to see where they’re coming from. And at the time, I really didn’t know much about Google.

8
And you know, being an orthodontist for 26 years, I didn’t really know a lot of… I kind of went through a time where I went through shock. It was really what I call culture shock because the old ways of marketing were not working anymore. And because I really didn’t know about online marketing,

8
I really didn’t… I was still doing, you know, phone book ads and magazine ads, and all of these things. And so, Thrive Time has really helped. And I will take, I will say that it’s a process. It doesn’t happen overnight. But if you stay the course, you’re going to see results,

2
because I’m absolutely convinced. Dr. Christ, thank you for allowing us to take up some of your valuable time today. I really do appreciate appreciate you and I can’t wait to see it in person here soon. All right thanks so much Clay. Clay Clark is here

13
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 today, I met his dogs, I met his chickens, I saw his compound. He’s like the greatest guy.

22

Trump was the 45th president of these United States and soon to be the 47th president of these United States, he needed someone to run the companies for him.

But we’ve got one guy who’s giving me a verbal to be here. And this is a guy who’s one of the wealthiest people

My name is Claire Yinger. I was looking to learn everything about business, which I have learned so many things. It’s like drinking from a fire hydrant. I’m gonna have to do it again, multiple times. What I’ve learned so far has been,

3
I mean, just a lot about processes, systems, the power of them, your due diligence. I mean, the list can go on and on and on. Well, listening to Clay is like very entertaining because he is entertaining, but also just meeting all the different people

3
and having time and space to like, you’re learning a lot, but then also being able to discuss with other people

17
what they’re learning

3
and just getting different perspectives. So, very entertaining, very funny, very thorough, but also could be random

16
because it’s full of a lot of stories,

3
but it’s also intentional. It’s like everything he’s doing is intentional but but it’s also intentional. It’s like everything he’s doing is intentional but you wouldn’t be fully aware that it was but it is.
