Jennifer Thompson:

My name is Jennifer Thompson and my business is Facchianos Bridal and Formal Attire. I’m originally from Bronx, New York, went to college for fashion design. I also worked in New York City in fashion design. The main thing I can notice right off the bat with the training, it’s helped with the hiring process, how to motivate people. And really the most important to me, I think, was learning how to do a website, learning how to put a website together, learning how to optimize the website, learning how to blog, learning social media because we had a old school website and I think we got maybe 50 hits a month. And then once we improved our website, our optimization, we started getting more calls and more calls and I mean, I think our highest number so far has been up in three-thousands.

And I think that gets more phone calls, more people walking in the door. Obviously, more customers to us that we can speak with and sell our product. I believe that the training that you get here is probably going to be the best money spent. You could go take courses, you could read books on these things. You could learn a lot that way or you could do it right here all in one place and save yourself a lot of time and money. So you don’t know anything in the beginning when you start a business and you really need to know as much as you possibly can to make your business thrive.

Kat Stockdall:

My name is Kat Stockdall. I’m originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I do graphic design and marketing. Honestly, this is not my first time coming here, but there was just so much information that I had to come back and had to get more because you can always be learning more and this is just like a giant overflowing bucket of knowledge. I think one of my favorite things that I’ve learned so far are the systems, the proven systems that get you there every time no matter what your business is. I think that’s really incredible that something like that exists. I love this workshop. I love what it’s turned into. It’s so intimate and yet there’s enough people here that the energy is really great. It’s just a really wonderful overall experience.

Oh my goodness, Clay’s presentation, training style is hilarious. He’s always telling a joke. He’s always keeping you on your toes. You never know what he’s going to say next, and that’s what makes it really interesting and exciting. The atmosphere here is amazing. It’s so energized. Everyone is just so ready to go, ready to learn. It’s really fantastic. I think it’s really unique in that you’re dealing with a smaller group of people. You’re not having to deal with all of these upsells. It’s so unique in that, where you don’t have to spend money to learn things. You don’t have to buy a hundred books to learn things. You’re missing out on the experience of a lifetime, I kid you not. It’s amazing. You learn so much. You walk away feeling energized, you feel inspired and you have actual action items that you can use to grow your business.

Adam Stockdall:

My name’s Adam Stockdall. I’m from Dallas, Texas. I heard about from my wife. She’s done some business with Clay in the past. I never thought Thrive 15 was a scam. The website built good credibility and know Clay from previous business deals. So what I’ve learned about marketing from this seminar would be to pick a couple of things and really dive deep on instead of just trying to get involved in everything. Things that necessarily sound good, a lot of people are doing, but it’s not necessarily right for your business.

Thrive 15 world headquarters is, I think best as Clay describes it as a Disneyland for entrepreneurs. So you have all these resources like all the parks in Disneyland, there’s something for everybody and wherever you want to focus on in your business is a resource here for you. Clay’s presentation teaching style is energetic, engaging, humorous. It’s not one of those you sit here and you’re board for six hours, time really flies and you get a lot out of it.

What makes the Thrive 15 conference different than a lot of other conferences is the one-on-one engagement. You’re in a room with 30, 40 other people, but everybody has a turn to get involved, ask questions on an individual level and really make sure they get what they came here for. The Thrive 15 conference is unlike anything else in the market right now because what it does is it allows you to come in and get specifically your questions answered. Whereas other conferences, they just want to give you the specific knowledge they have, “Here’s our book, go read it,” as opposed to let’s get your specific issue taken care of.

Thrive 15, what is it for? It’s an all-inclusive package. So you come in, you pay your money, you get in, but you don’t have to buy anything else. There’s other services available, but as far as this conference goes, you can just walk in, walk out, no extra money and make 10 times what you paid on this conference no problem. Thrive 15 conference, they really focus on answering specific questions relating to your business, no matter your business, they can help you out. And there’s no upselling. You can come in for a couple of days or you can stay for months and learn something new every day.

Dr. Mark Morrow:

Hi, I’m Dr. Mark Morrow. I’m a pediatric dentist. Through our new digital marketing plan, we have seen a market increase in the number of new patients that we’re seeing every month, year-over-year. One month for example, we went from 110 new patients the previous year to over 180 new patients in the same month. And overall, our average is running about 40 to 42% increase month-over-month, year-over-year. The group of people required to implement our new digital marketing plan is immense, starting with a business coach, videographers, photographers, web designers.

Back when I graduated dental school in 1985, nobody advertised. The only marketing that was ethically allowed in everybody’s eyes was mouth-to-mouth marketing. By choosing to use the services, you’re choosing to use a proof and turnkey marketing and coaching system that will grow your practice and get you the results that you are looking for. I went to the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry, graduated in 1983, and then I did my pediatric dental residency at Baylor College of Dentistry from 1983 to 1985. I established my practice here in Tulsa in 1985.

Clay:

One of the things that I hear in my world a lot as a business consultant from business owners is they will tell me, “Clay, I want you to help me, but my industry is different.” And so on today’s show, I’m going to introduce you to a wonderful client who’s a pediatric dentist. And I also am going to introduce you to a wonderful client who’s a real estate agent. And I’m also going to introduce you to a wonderful client who does mortgages and a wonderful client who’s a family doctor and a wonderful client who trained dogs and a wonderful client who runs the UPS stores for all of Canada. Then I’ll introduce you to a wonderful client who has a massive real estate empire, real estate franchise empire. Then I’m going to introduce you to a wonderful client that sells new homes. Then I’m going to introduce you to a wonderful client who sells insurance. And then a wonderful client who runs a church. And a wonderful client who, the wonderful client who sells insurance. I think I mentioned that. A wonderful client that has a research lab.

And at the end of the day, you’ll discover that if you will follow the proven systems that I will teach you at our in-person workshops or through our one-on-one coaching program, it’s like bumper bowling for business. It’s like if you’re tired of throwing gutter balls and you want to have success, this system will absolutely change your life. It’s a step-by-step system. It’s a linear workflow. It’s going to absolutely change your life. And without any further ado, here is a Dr. Morrow sharing about how this system has changed his life and his business’ life and the lives of his employees and the growth of his pediatric dentistry. So here we go.

Charles Colaw:

Hello, my name is Charles Colaw with Colaw Fitness. Today I want to tell you a little bit about Clay Clark and how I know Clay Clark. Clay Clark has been my business coach since 2017. He’s helped us grow from two locations to now six locations. We’re planning to do seven locations in seven years and then franchise. And Clay has done a great job of helping us navigate anything that has to do with running the business, building the systems, the checklists, the workflows, the audits, how to navigate lease agreements, how to buy property, how to work with brokers and builders. This guy is just an amazing. He’s the kind of guy who has worked in every single industry. He’s written books with Lee Cockerell, head of Disney with the 40,000 cast members. He’s friends with Mike Lindell. He does ReAwaken America tours, where he does these tours all across the country where 10,000 or more people show up to some of these tours.

On the day-to-day, he does anywhere from about 160 companies. He’s at the top. He has a team of business coaches, videographers and graphic designers and web developers, and they run 160 companies every single week. So think of this guy with a team of business coaches running 160 companies. So in the weekly, he’s running 160 companies. Every six to eight weeks, he’s doing ReAwaken America tours. Every six to eight weeks, he’s also doing business conferences where 200 people show up and he teaches people a 13-step proven system that he’s done and worked with billionaires, helping them grow their companies.

So I’ve seen guys from startups go from startup to being multimillionaires. Teaching people how to get time freedom and financial freedom through this system. Critical thinking, document creation, making it, putting it into, organizing everything in their head to building it into a franchisable scalable business. One of his businesses has 500 franchises. That’s just one of the companies or brands that he works with. So amazing guy, Elon Musk kind of like smart guy. He kind of comes off sometimes as socially awkward, but he’s so brilliant and he’s taught me so much. When I say that Clay is, he doesn’t care what people think when you’re talking to him, he cares about where you’re going in your life and where he can get you to go. And that’s what I like the most about him. He’s a good coach. A coach isn’t just making you feel good all the time. A coach is actually helping you get to the best you. And Clay has been an amazing business coach.

Through the course of that, we became friends. When I was really most impressed with him is when I was shadowing him one time. We went into a business deal and listened to it, I got to shadow and listen to it. And when we walked out, I knew that he could make millions on the deal and they were super excited about working with him. And he told me, he’s like, “I’m not going to touch it. I’m going to turn it down,” because he knew it was going to harm the common good of people in the long run. And the guy’s integrity just really wowed me. It brought tears to my eyes to see that this guy, his highest desire was to do what’s right. And anyways, just an amazing man. So anyways, impacted me a lot. He’s helped navigate. Anytime I’ve got nervous or worried about how to run the company or navigating competition and economy.

I remember we got closed down for three months, he helped us navigate on how to stay open, how to get back open, how to just survive through all the COVID shutdowns, lockdowns because our clubs were all closed for three months and you have $350,000 of bills you’ve got to pay and we have no accounts receivable. He helped us navigate that. And of course, we were conservative enough that we could afford to take that on for a period of time. But anyways, great man. I’m very impressed with him.

So Clay, thank you for everything you’re doing. And I encourage you, if you have never worked with Clay, work with Clay. He’s going to help magnify you. And there’s nobody I have ever met that has the ability to work as hard as he does. He probably sleeps four, maybe six hours a day and literally the rest of the time he’s working and he can outwork everybody in the room every single day. And he loves it. So anyways, this is Charles Colaw with Colaw Fitness. Thank you, Clay. And anybody out there that’s wanting to work with Clay, it’s a great, great opportunity to ever work with him. So you guys have a blessed one. This is Charles Colaw. We’ll see you guys. Bye-bye.

Aaron Antis:

Hi, I’m Aaron Antis 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 actually noticed he was driving a Lamborghini all of a sudden, so I was willing to listen. In my career, I’ve sold a little over $800 million 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 sales people for the last 10 years here with Shaw Homes and, I 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 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’ve 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 on a weekly basis is honestly very enlightening. One of the things that I love about Clay’s perspective on things is that he doesn’t come from my industry. He’s not somebody who’s in the home building industry. I’ve listened to all the experts in my field. Our company has paid for me to go to seminars, international builders 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, I’m not paying attention to what other leading industry experts are doing. And Clay really brings that perspective for me. It is very valuable time every week when I get that hour with him.

From my perspective, the reason that any business owner who’s thinking about hooking up with Thrive needs to definitely consider it is because the results that we’ve gotten in a very short period of time are honestly monumental. It has really exceeded my wildest expectation of what he might be able to do. I came in skeptical because I’m very pragmatic, and as I’ve gone through the process over just a few months, I’ve realized it’s probably one of the best moves we’ve ever made.

I think a lot of people probably feel like they don’t need a business or marketing consultant because they maybe are a little bit prideful and like to think they know everything. I know that’s how I felt coming in. I mean, we’re a big company that’s definitely one of the largest in town, and so we kind of felt like we knew what we were doing. And I think for a lot of people, they let their ego get in the way of listening to somebody that might have a better or different perspective than theirs. 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 Holmes, this is probably the best thing that’s happened to us. And I know if you give him a shot, I think you’ll feel the same way. I know for me, the thing I would’ve missed out on if I didn’t work with Clay is I would’ve missed out on literally an 1,800% increase in our internet leads. Going from 10 a month to 180 a month, that would’ve 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. I guarantee you’re not going to regret it because we sure haven’t.

Speaker 9:

The ThriveTime Show, two-day interactive business workshops are the highest and most reviewed business workshops on the planet.

Clay:

You can learn the proven 13-point business system that Dr. Zoellner and I have used over and over to start and grow successful companies. When we get into the specifics, the specific steps on what you need to do to optimize your website, we’re going to teach you how to fix your conversion rate. We’re going to teach you how to do a social media marketing campaign that works. How do you raise capital? How do you get a small business loan? We teach you everything you need to know here during a two-day, 15-hour workshop. It’s all here for you. You work every day in your business, but for two days you can escape and work on your business and build these proven systems, so now you can have a successful company that will produce both the time freedom and the financial freedom that you deserve.

You’re going to leave energized, motivated, but you’re also going to leave empowered. The reason why I’ve built these workshops is because as an entrepreneur, I always wish that I had this. And because there wasn’t anything like this, I would go to these motivational seminars, no money down real estate Ponzi scheme, get motivated seminars, and they would never teach me anything. It was like you went there and you paid for the big chocolate Easter Bunny, but inside of it was a hollow nothingness. And I wanted the knowledge, and they’re like, “Oh, but we’ll teach you the knowledge after our next workshop.” And the great thing is we have nothing to upsell. At every workshop, we teach you what you need to know, but there’s no one in the back of the room trying to sell you some next big get rich quick walk on hot coals product. It’s literally we teach you the brass tacks, the specific stuff that you need to know to learn how to start and grow a business.

And I encourage you to not believe what I’m saying and I want you to Google the Z66 Auto Auction. I want you to Google Elephant in the Room. Look at Robert Zoellner and Associates, look them up and say, “Are they successful because they’re geniuses or are they successful because they have a proven system?” When you do that research, you will discover that the same system that we use in our own business can be used in your business. Come to Tulsa, book a ticket, and I guarantee you it’s going to be the best business workshop ever. And we’ll even give you your money back if you don’t love it. We’ve built this facility for you and we’re excited to see you.
