Play, 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. You know what I mean? People rave about what they learn from you. So congratulations.

13
Play Clark is here somewhere.

23
Where’s my buddy Play?

22
Play Clark!

16
Play is the greatest. I met his goats today.

19
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.

1
So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right? His entire life, Clay Clark, his entire life is marketing. Okay, Aaron Antis, March 6th and 7th. March 6th and 7th, guess who’s coming to Tulsa, Russia? Ooh, Santa Claus? No, that’s March. March 6th and 7th, you’re going to be joined by Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, probably the best-selling or one of the best-selling business authors of all time.

1
And he’s going to be joined with Eric Trump. He’ll be joined by Eric Trump. He’ll be joined by Eric Trump. We got Eric Trump and Robert Kiyosaki in the same place. In the same place. Aaron, why should everybody show up to hear Robert Kiyosaki? Well you got billions of dollars of business experience between those two, not to mention many many many millions of books have been sold. Many many millionaires have been made from the

1
books that have been sold by Robert Kiyosaki. I happen to be one of them. I learned from the man. He was the inspiration. That book was the inspiration for me to get the entrepreneurial spirit, as many other people.

5
Now, since you won’t brag on yourself, I will. You’ve sold billions of dollars of houses, am I correct? That is true. And the book that that kickstarted it all for you, Rich Dad Pornhub, the author, the best selling author of Rich Dad Pornhub, Robert Kiyosaki, the guy that kickstarted your career. Yeah, he’s going to be here. He’s going to be here. I’m pumped. And now Eric Trump. 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.

5
And while Donald J. 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. And 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

5
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.

1
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.

1
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. Would you buy a ticket just to see Robert Kiyosaki and Eric Trump? Of course you would.

1
Of course you would. Of course you would. But we’re also going to be joined by Sean Baker. This is the best-selling author, the guy who invented the carnivore diet. Oh yeah. Dr. Sean Baker. He’s been on Joe Rogan multiple times. He’s gonna be joining us. So you’ve got Robert Kiyosaki, the best-selling author, rich dad, poor get a VIP ticket, you can absolutely do it. It’s $500 for a VIP ticket. We’ve always done it that way.

1
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. 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.

1
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.

1
And we had 419 people that were here. 419 people. Yeah. And I thought to myself, there’s no more room. I felt kind of bad that a couple of people had VIP seats in the men’s restroom. Oh, no, I’m just kidding. So I thought, you know what, we should probably add on. So we’re adding on what we call the upper deck,

1
or the top shelf. So the seats are very close to the presenters, but we’re actually building right now, we’re adding on to the facility to make room to accommodate another 30 attendees or more. So again, if you want to get tickets for this event, all you have to do is go to Thrivetimeshow.com

1
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,

5
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. 01029188510102. I know we have a lot of Spanish speaking people that attend these conferences.

5
And so to be bilingually sensitive, my cell phone number is 9188510102.

1
That is not actually bilingual. That’s just saying Juan for a Juan.

24
It’s not the same thing.

5
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.

5
So let’s talk about it. I’ll tee up the thing

1
and then you tell me what you’re gonna learn here, okay?

5
Okay.

1
You’re gonna learn marketing, marketing and branding. What are we gonna learn about marketing and branding? 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? Make it a household name. You’re going to learn some intricacies of how you can do that.

5
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.

5
Aaron, you have managed, no exaggeration, hundreds of people throughout your career and thousands of contractors. And most people struggle with managing people.

1
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. And so it can 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.

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 know, you can

1
get those people all pulling in the same direction.

5
So we’re gonna teach you branding, marketing, sales, search engine optimization, we’re gonna teach you accounting, we’re gonna teach you personal finance, how to manage your finance, we’re to teach you personal finance, how to manage your finance. We’re going to teach you time management. How do you manage your time?

5
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.

5
Each day it starts at 7 a.m. and it goes until 5 p.m. So from 7 a.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. So Aaron, what kind of great stuff happens

5
during that 15 minute question and answer session after every teaching session?

1
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,

1
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

1
every single question that any person asks. And it’s very specific to what your business is. And what we do is we allow you as the attendee to write your questions on the whiteboard. And then we literally, as you mentioned, we answer every single question on the whiteboard.

1
And then we take a 15 minute break to stretch and to make it entertaining when you’re stretching. And this is a 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. You had a crocodile one time. That was pretty interesting. I should write that down. Sorry for that one guy. We lost. The crocodile, we duct taped its face.

1
It was a baby crocodile. And we duct tape its face. So that, right, we duct tape. No, it was a baby crocodile. And we duct tape. Yeah, duct tape around the mouth so it didn’t bite anybody. But it was really cool passing that thing around and petting.

5
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. In fact, there’s less than 10 million people today, according to U.S. Debt Clock, that identify as being self-employed.

5
So if you have a country with 350 million people, 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 one out of a thousand chance of succeeding in the game of business.

5
But yet the average client that you and I work with, we can typically double this. I’m just, no, no, no hyperbole, no exaggeration. 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,

5
when I work with a business owner, we can typically double the size of the company within 24 months. Yeah. Double, and you say double? Yeah, there’s businesses that we have tripled, there’s businesses we’ve grown 8x, there’s so many examples you can see at thrivetimeshow.com. But again, this is the most interactive best business workshop on the planet.

5
This is objectively the highest rated and most reviewed business workshop on the planet. And then you add to that Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. You add to that Eric Trump, the man that runs the Trump Organization. You add to that Sean Baker. Now you might take, but Clay, is there more? I need more. Well, okay. Tom Wheelwright is the wealth strategist for Robert Kiyosaki. So people say, Robert Kiyosaki, who’s his financial wealth advisor?

5
Who’s the guy who manages? Who’s his wealth strategist? His wealth strategist, Tom Will Wright, will be here. And you say, Clay, I still, I’m not going to get a ticket unless you give me more. OK, fine.

5
We’re going to serve you the same meal both days. True story. We cater in the food. And because I keep it simple, I literally bring in the same food both days for lunch. It’s Ted Esconzito’s, an incredible Mexican restaurant. That’s going to happen.

5
And Jill Donovan, our good friend, who is the founder of Rustic Cuff, she started that company in her home. And now she sells millions of dollars of apparel and products. That’s rustic cuff.com. And someone says, I want more. This is not enough.

20
Give me more.

5
OK, I’m not going to mention their names right now because I’m working on it behind the scenes here. But we’ve got one guy who’s given me a verbal to be here. And this is a guy who’s one of the wealthiest people in Oklahoma. And nobody really knows who he is because he’s built systems that are very utilitarian that offer a lot of value. He’s made a lot of money in the, uh, it’s the, uh, it’s where you rent. It’s short, it’s where you’re, you’re renting storage spaces. He’s a storage space guy. He owns the, what do you call that? The rental, the, uh, storage space, storage units. This guy owns storage units. He owns railroad cars.

5
He owns a lot of assets that make money on a daily basis, but they’re not like customer-facing. Most people don’t know who owns the mini storage facility or most people don’t know who owns the warehouse that’s passively making money. Most people don’t know who owns the railroad cars, but this guy, he’s giving me a verbal that he will be here,

5
and we just continue to add more and more success stories. So if you’re out there today and you want to change your life, you want to give yourself a incredible gift, you want a life-changing experience, you want to learn how to start and grow a company, go to thrivetimeshow.com.

5
Go there right now, thrivetimeshow.com. Request a ticket for the two-day interactive event. Again, the day here is March 6th and 7th. March 6th and 7th, we just got confirmation. Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author, Rich Dad Poor Dad, he’ll be here. Eric Trump, the man who leads the Trump Organization. It’s gonna be a blasty blast. There’s no upsells. Aaron, I could not be more excited about this event. I think it is incredible, and there’s somebody out there right now you’re watching and you’re like, but I already signed up for this incredible other program called Smoke Your Way to Thin.

1
You think that’s going to change your life? I promise you this will be 10 times better than that.

33
It’s like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.

1
Don’t do the Smoke Your Way to Thin conference. That is, I’ve tried it. Don’t do it.

5
Yeah, chain smoking is not a viable, I mean, it is life changing. It is life changing. If you become a chain smoker, it is life changing.

1
Not the best weight loss program though. Right, not really. So if you’re looking to have life changing results in a way that won’t cause you to have a stoma, get your tickets at thrivetimeshow.com. Again, that’s Aaron Antis. I’m Clay Clark, reminding you and inviting you to come out to the two-day interactive Thrive Time Show

1
workshop right here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I promise you, it will be a life-changing experience.

5
We can’t wait to see you right here in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

22
Hi there.

12
I just wanted to take a quick minute to thank Clay and his team at Thrive Time. I attended a conference a couple months back and it was really the best business conference I’ve ever attended. Just a ton of practical information that you can really implement in any business. I started with the coaching program a short while thereafter and we’re already ranking at the top of Google for a couple of keywords here at our firm which is you know ahead of schedule and we’re

12
super excited about that. Also you know with the coaching program you know these are you know proven business strategies that you know I’ve been learning about for for years here but where they’ve really helped is you know how to prioritize those strategies. You know as entrepreneurs we all only have 168 hours in the week, and you know which ones are gonna move the ball

12
down the field the quickest. So Clay, I know the optimism and momentum is important to you, so three, two, one, boom.

6
My name is Bronson Schubert, I’m from Edmond, Oklahoma. I heard about it on the podcast. Started listening to the podcast, became a fan, and then figured out about the workshop. I own an insurance and financial services agency, and I was hoping to learn from the workshop

6
systems and processes. I’m big on systems and processes, and always learning better ways to run a business more efficiently. The atmosphere’s second to none. It’s a high energy, really cool atmosphere to be around.

6
Contagious, I would say. Just something every entrepreneur, I think, would appreciate and love. I’d say humorous, high energy, and full of substance, which I think is the key. A lot of business coaches or seminars

6
maybe are high on motivation and making you feel good, but don’t have a lot of substance that you can take back and implement the following Monday, where his does. Man, there’s a lot of valuable things. I’m gonna say, I came to this, this is my second workshop. The first workshop I took back really the importance of a group interview.

6
I used to spend hours and hours interviewing people, screening resumes, and that saving my time on that part is valuable, it was that and then the sales scripting that have been two major things just so far. I think they’re missing out on you know expert advice from somebody who’s been there done that, built companies, has learned a lot of lessons you know that’s what I’m always looking for is somebody that I can learn from that’s ahead of

6
where I am and I think if you choose not to come you’re missing out on a lot of good advice that could help your business.

3
Hi this is Charles and Amber Kolaw, we’re the owners of Kolaw 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

3
for every department, quantitative scorecards for each department and every position so 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

3
optimization, helping us really rank high in Google and pretty much every area of the business. He’s been very very helpful.

15
We would describe the experience of working with Clay as very energetic. 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

3
worth spending our time on. He’s a great coach. He helps push 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 when we’re stressed about something, he’ll have a story to relate to and really helps us in every area of our business. He’s been very, very helpful.

15
I think Clay’s ability to have a whole team behind him that help him with all of his clients, all his 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 and help you accomplish all these goals that you’re setting.

3
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 video, web design, search engine guys who are just knowledgeable in that. Even though he knows a lot of that stuff, he’s got these capable lieutenants that are

3
ready to just take off and help you get that stuff. More stuff gets done on a weekly basis than you would on probably most…

32
An individual.

3
Yeah, than an individual or some other company. We’ve worked with several companies before. It’s just 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 components.

3
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 and a lot of the stuff is really polarizing.

3
You do a personal inventory of yourself and you you’ll think like, hey, I’ve really got to work on this, really got to work on that. So every time you come, I still get a lot of value out of it.

15
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 like you said, you just always catch a different part of the material

7
that maybe you didn’t catch before.

15
It’s worded differently.

3
And it’s really cool, because some people that you’ve seen 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 their revenue improved.

3
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 accomplish that stuff. So McClay 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.

3
He’s done, basically he outlines exactly what you need to be 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,

3
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 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 businesses in three different states. And to know that what I share with him is staying private,

3
he’s not sending that out to anybody else. To know that when he’s working with me, he’s only working with one other, no other gyms that are in direct competition with me. It’s very encouraging to have somebody you can trust and rely on, that he isn’t going to like somehow tell your trade secrets or give information away. Just really awesome that he’s a trustworthy guy, really cares about you

3
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 scorecards to each department and so for us it’s been very encouraging and gives us peace. And when you 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?

3
So he helps extract everything out of your brain, everything 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

3
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. So very encouraging and give you a complete mind,

3
freedom, and peace to know that that stuff’s created to easy to duplicate and scale your company.

15
Right, and then we can spend time doing

7
what we’re really good at and just trust the system.

3
I honestly believe everybody needs a coach. I think we’re all inherently lazy, selfish, and carnal. I truly believe that humans are humans. We’d rather, 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 because I want to know I want to work on what we’re weak at. I want to see any areas that we’re not doing well in and see his perspective from a third party because you can look

3
at your own business and just see the good. It’s good to have somebody who does it who’s done this with hundreds of companies. You’ll 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 courager. To me, he’s been a wonderful friend. He’s also, you can tell he cares.

3
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 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 on you know as a part of your team and your

3
own company is huge, super valuable so I would definitely encourage people to use him but one thing is you got to be 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

3
great systems, checklists, workflows, 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. 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.

1
And then I met Clay, and my perception of what I knew and what I could do definitely changed. After doing $800 million in sales over a 15-year career, I really thought I knew what I was doing. I’ve been managing a large team of salespeople for the last 10 years here with Shaw Homes.

1
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. 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.

1
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 on a weekly basis is honestly very enlightening.

1
One of the things that I love about Clay’s perspective on things is that he doesn’t come from my industry. He’s not somebody who’s in the home building industry. I’ve listened to all the experts in my field. Our company has paid for me to go to seminars, international builder shows, all kinds of places

1
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

1
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

1
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

1
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

1
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.

1
I think in the 35 year history of Shaw Homes, this is probably the best thing that’s happened to us. And I know if you give them a shot, I think you’ll feel the same way. I know for me, the thing I would have missed out on if I didn’t work with Clay is I would have missed out on literally an 1800% increase in our internet leads. Going from 10 a month to 180 a month, that would have been a huge financial decision

1
to just decide not to give it a shot. I would absolutely recommend Clayclark 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,

1
because we sure haven’t.

My name is Danielle Sprick, and I am the founder of D. Sprick Realty Group here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After being a stay-at-home mom for 12 years and my three kids started school and they were in school full-time, I was at a crossroads and trying to decide what do I want to do. My degree and my background is in education, but after being a mom and staying home and

7
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,

7
I love the building relationships, but one thing that was really difficult for me was the business side of things. The processes and the advertising and marketing. I knew that I did not have what I needed to make that what it should be. So I reached out to Clay at that time. and he and his team have been extremely instrumental in helping us build our brand and help market our business our agents the homes that we represent everything that we do is a direct line from Clay and his team and all that they’ve done for us. We launched our brokerage, our real estate brokerage, eight months ago.

7
And in that time, we’ve gone from myself and one other agent to just this week, we signed on our 16th agent. We have been blessed with the fact that we right now have just over 10 million in pending transactions. Three years ago, I never would have even imagined

7
that I would be in this role that I’m in today, 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.

7
Don’t ever limit your vision. When you dream big, big things happen.

8
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. 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

8
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 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,

8
especially in the medical world. He was instrumental in helping with the specific written business plan. He’s been instrumental in hiring good quality employees, using the processes that he outlines for getting in good talent, which is extremely difficult.

8
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

8
worth every penny to have someone in your team that can walk you through and even avoid some of the pitfalls that are almost invariable in starting your own business. I’m Dr. Chad Edwards and I own Revolution Health and Wellness Clinic.

13
Clay, my honor, my honor to be on your show and thank you for all you do.

3
I hear the ripple effects from you are good ripple effects.

13
You know what I mean? People rave about what they learn from you. So congratulations.

11
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 at this K&D’s company for about five years now. And we started working with Thrive not too long ago.

11
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,

11
and like such good insight, the resources that they have for specific business questions. It’s all been really incredible. It’s been a great experience. So I’d recommend it to anybody.

13
And to be honest with you, I were just, we’re blown away with the results we’ve had

3
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

31
beyond my wildest expectations.

14
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.

14
I know what my numbers are in a much more realistic way on a day-to-day basis. So my experience has just been very positive overall.

9
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 noticed 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

9
just dramatically, 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?

9
You guys are everywhere now. And it’s, you just can’t get away from how noticeable of a difference that it makes. There’s just, 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

9
and just with an immense amount of dedication to the task at hand and just to you as a company, trying to help you succeed. And you know, I think I’ve said this before, but his just availability to you, just he’s genuinely invested in your success.

9
And it’s just, it’s been wonderful.

17
And I feel like that’s why the two of you work great together. Joe to me like obviously like the more tactical, you’re probably the more visionary and that’s like the two of it coming together is what makes it work. And it’s like a missing piece for us that I enjoy having.

24
Hi, I’m Amy Chaney. And it’s like a missing piece for us that I enjoy having.

2
Hi, I’m Amy Chaney. My husband and I 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 the savings that we have from the decision that we made each month is going to be roughly about $2,000 a week so it’s about eight grand a month. Plus we also made the decision to get rid of a

2
billboard that hadn’t really brought us any business and that was another $475 a month. It’s really an $8,500 a month and that’s a really big deal. So my first thoughts when Clay introduced us to the weekly Know Your Numbers 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 every single day for us.

2
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. 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 and we already know what we need to know

2
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. 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. That was it.

2
Like, I’ve made that commitment. It takes me maybe 20 minutes on, you know, every Saturday morning 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

2
when we started looking at the money this closely was that my husband doesn’t want to know the numbers, first of all. He pays good money to have someone do that for him because he just doesn’t want to know. It’s not his thing.

2
And so I had worked for an accountant previous to this, so that’s kind of my thing. 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, 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 A players and hadn’t been for quite

2
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 books, especially if it’s not yourself, because if you’ve not ever had anybody

2
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, 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. You and Jimmy have

2
known exactly where the money is gone so we’re not coming to her going where’s all our money. Because that’s not a good position for her to be in either. 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.

3
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.

4
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

4
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 going to 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 company week to week it seems like.

4
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 work. I just have really high quality employees now

4
especially in something people typically consider a high turnover type of work. You know 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 you know group interviews and interviewing every single week. 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.

4
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. 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

4
it’ll work. When they look at my business, people in my town, they think I’m lucky. They think things just happen for me. Maybe I am lucky, but it has a lot to do with hard work and perseverance and working until you cry sometimes. That’s just being an entrepreneur, which if you’re a business owner, you understand that.

4
But it’s having these systems in 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. and I can tell that they are just so excited every single week when

4
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 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

13
My saying is 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 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 more, they’re trained.

13
And as my rich dad always said, you know, amateurs don’t have a coach, 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.

1
Well, Carter, you know, we have an opportunity here at the Thrivetime Show to work with some really great business owners, people that are actually serious

30
about growing

5
their company. They go to Thrivetimeshow.com, 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,

5
our goal is to help the client actually grow their actual business. And on today’s show, we’re joined with a man who we’ve had the opportunity to work with. The company’s called NWA Gutter Perfection. And my understanding, Carter, is that they’re up over 60%.

5
Is that right? I would say that’s correct, yes. DJ, welcome onto the Thrive Time Show. How are you, sir?

11
Good, how are you doing, Clay?

1
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?

18
Gutter Perfection.

5
How did you guys first hear about us?

29
Do you know?

16
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.

1
If you go to nwagutterperfection.com, you can see they’re a real company. They’re a real business. They really are growing. What markets do you service there, DJ? For people out there that might be looking for your services,

1
what’s the market area that you service?

16
Pretty much all of Northwest Arkansas, Bentonville, Springdale, Fayetteville, Rogers,

11
the little surrounding towns there, too.

5
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.

3
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. So it shocked me how simple some of the stuff is.

3
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 going to look and see every moving part of your church, of your ministry, what needs to be done. And it’s going to go up on a massive board.

3
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, 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, did it get done or not?

13
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 get to choose your teachers wisely as anything else. So the biggest, best lesson sits in the back here.

13
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.

5
I think it’s life changing for me and how I approach business. Could you explain Okta nonverba, what it means

1
and how our listeners can apply it?

13
Clay, you gave me goosebumps, man. I’m glad it hit you as hard as it did. Okta Nonverba is the motto of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York. I had appointments with Naval Academy and Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy.

13
And Merchant Marine Academy’s motto is, Hacta Non Verba. In other words, don’t listen to what a person says,

5
watch what they do.

10
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.

10
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.

10
And I learned a lot. I come 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.

10
And I think next year I’m gonna bring my husband

4
because he really needs to come too.

5
And you’re in McKinney, Texas, right?

1
So how long have you been an orthodontist in McKinney, Texas?

4
So I’ve been an orthodontist for 26 years,

10
practicing in McKinney.

1
And when you went to medical school, what percentage of the time in medical school or dentistry school, dental school, did they spend

5
teaching you how to market and or grow your own practice?

10
Absolutely zero.

28
Zero?

10
Marketing skills.

5
OK, OK. And from what I talked to Andrew, you’re the coach who works with you, I’m always hearing that more and more patients are coming in from Google. Could you talk about that?

5
How much of an impact does it have having maybe a rebranded or updated website and Google leads coming in?

10
It has had a huge difference, absolutely huge difference in our patient load coming in. 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,

10
how to see where they’re coming from. And at the time I really didn’t know much about Google and 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.

10
And because I really didn’t know about online marketing, 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 say that it’s a process. It doesn’t happen overnight,

10
but if you stay the course, you’re going to see results.

13
My saying is 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, but professionals always have coaches. So I’ve always had coaches for whatever was important. My rich dad was one of

13
those persons. I wanted to learn how to play Monopoly in real life. So he was my coach.

11
And we went from expecting maybe 250,000 this year to we’re at 400,000. Hi, I’m Kelsey with K and D’s Woodfinishing, business owner at 23. So I’ve been working this K and D’s company for about five years now.

11
And we started working with Thrive not too long ago and we went from expecting maybe $250,000 this year to we’re at $400,000. That’s what we’re gonna 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 the just the accountability of meeting up with them weekly and like such good insight

11
the resources they have for specific business questions it’s all been really incredible it’s

9
been a great experience so i would recommend it to anybody. And to be honest with you, we’re just, we’re blown away with the results we’ve had in just one quarter.

3
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.

14
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 on a day-to-day basis.

14
So my experience has just been very positive overall.

9
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 noticed 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. Like Clay, he was dropping his wife off at the airport and he had his Flint Rock hat on

9
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.

9
There’s just, there’s no denying. You’re just on a personal level as far as what it’s like to work with Aaron. He is just, just a consummate professional and just with an immense amount of dedication to, to the task at hand and to, and just to you as a company trying to help you succeed. And you know, I, I think I’ve said this before, just, but his just availability towards to you, just, and he’s genuinely invested in your success.

9
And it’s just, it’s been wonderful.

17
And I feel like that’s why the two of you work great

22
together.

17
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 these mean what makes it work and it’s like a missing piece for for us that I enjoy having.

2
Hi, I’m Amy Chaney. My husband and I 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.

2
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 in at $8,500 a month, and that’s a really big deal. So my first thoughts when Clay introduced us

It’s not his thing. And so, I had worked for an accountant previous to this,

so that’s kind of my thing. So for him to be able to sit down and take a look and see some of the things we’re spending the 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.

2
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 A players and hadn’t been for quite some time, that was a huge eye opener for him.

2
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 books, especially if it’s not yourself because if you’ve not ever had anybody embezzle money from you then you’re very fortunate and so it’s really good to have that accountability. We’ve had that happen in the past to us.

2
My secretary actually even came back to me and said, 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. You and Jimmy have known exactly where the money is gone. So we’re not coming to her going, where’s all our money?

2
You know, because that’s not a good position for her to be in either. 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.

My name is Danielle Sprick, and I am the founder of D. Sprick Realty Group here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After being a stay-at-home mom for 12 years, and my three kids started school, and they were in school full time, I was at a crossroads and trying to decide what do I want to do?

7
My degree and my background is an education but after being a mom and staying home and all of that I just didn’t have a passion for 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

27
rolled with it.

7
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.

7
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 and help market our business our agents the homes that we represent. Everything that we do is a direct line from Clay and his team and all that they’ve done for us. We launched our brokerage, our real estate brokerage, eight months ago. And in that time, we’ve gone from myself and one other agent to just this week, we signed on our 16th agent. We have been blessed with the fact that we right now have just over 10 million in pending transactions. Three years

7
ago I never would have even imagined that I would be in this role that I’m in today building a business having 16 agents. 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. When you dream big, big things happen.

8
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.

8
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

8
clinic I had a $63,000 embezzlement. I lost multiple employees. Clay helped us weather the storm of some of the things that are just a lot of people experience, especially in the medical world. He was instrumental in helping with the specific written business plan. He’s been instrumental in hiring good quality employees, using the processes that he outlines for getting in good talent, which is extremely difficult. He helped me in securing the business loans.

8
He helped me with web development and search engine optimization. We’ve been able to really keep a steady stream of clients coming in because they found us on the web. With everything that I encountered, everything that I experienced, I quickly learned it is worth every penny to have someone in your team that can walk you through and even avoid some of the pitfalls that are almost invariable in starting your own business. I’m Dr. Chad Edwards, and I own Revolution Health and Wellness

24
Clinic.

3
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.

4
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 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

4
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 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

4
less stressful by using their systems for hiring. I typically only get maybe two complaints a month, if that, and everybody shows up to work. I just have really high quality employees now, especially in something people typically consider a high turnover type of work. You know, 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 you know group interviews and interviewing every single week. It’s

4
just been great and I don’t waste as much time on low-quality candidates anymore. And your coach will hold you accountable, I mean, 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. Worth every penny. 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

4
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 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 business owner, you understand that. But it’s having this, these systems

4
in place of, you know, of course I’m going to be successful. It’s, 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 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

4
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, everything you guys have done for me

4
and I am so excited to continue to work with you for years to come.

13
Thanks so much for watching. My saying is 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, amateurs don’t have a coach, but professionals always have coaches.

13
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

1
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. And on today’s show, we’re joined with a man

1
who we’ve had the opportunity to work with. The company’s called NWA Gutter Perfection. And my understanding, Carter,

5
is that they’re up over 60%, is that right? I would say that’s correct, yes.

1
DJ, welcome on to the Thrive Time Show. How are you, sir? Good.

11
How are you doing, Clay?

5
I’m doing great. So for anybody out there who is doubting whether you’re

1
a hologram or not, what’s the name of your company, sir?

18
Dutter Perfection.

5
How did you guys first hear about us?

1
Do you know?

18
It’s actually a friend of mine found out about your business conferences there and then we went there.

16
And I guess I was sold the first conference we went to.

1
If you go to nwagutterperfection.com, you can see they’re a real company, they’re a 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

26
area that you service?

16
Pretty much all of Northwest Arkansas, Bentonville, Springdale, Fayetteville, Rogers, you know,

11
the little surrounding towns there too.

5
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.

3
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. So it shocked me how simple some of the stuff is.

3
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 going to look and see every moving part of your church, of your ministry, what needs to be done. And it’s going to go up on a massive board.

3
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, 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. So they know this is the playbook. This is what we’re doing.

3
And then there’s a laser sharp accountability with a meeting afterwards.

25
Did it get done or not?

24
Clay, you’re an entrepreneur.

13
I’m an entrepreneur. And as they say in stoic, the obstacle the way. I think YouTube is a tremendous educational platform for good and bad. So you’ve got to really choose your teachers wisely as anything else. So the biggest, best lesson sits in the back here.

13
I think you do it and Dr. Z does it. Once you learn something, if you really want to learn it, you got to teach it.

5
I think it was life-changing for me and how I approach business. Could you explain Okta Nonverba, what it means,

1
and how our listeners can apply it?

13
Clay, you gave me goose bumps, man. I’m glad it hit you as hard as it did. Okta Nonverba is the motto of the US Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York. I had appointments with Naval Academy and Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy. And Merchant Marine Academy’s motto was octa non verba.

13
In other words, don’t listen to what a person says,

3
watch what they do.

10
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.

10
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.

10
I come 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 going to bring my husband

4
because he really needs to come too.

5
And you’re in McKinney, Texas, right?

1
So how long have you been an orthodontist in McKinney, Texas?

4
So I’ve been an orthodontist for 26 years,

10
practicing in McKinney.

1
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

5
and or grow your own practice?

10
Absolutely zero. Zero? Zero marketing skills.

5
Okay, okay. And from when I talked to Andrew, you’re the coach who works with you, I’m always hearing that more and more patients are coming in from Google. Could you talk about that?

5
How much of an impact does it have having maybe a rebranded or updated website

1
and Google leads coming in?

10
It has had a huge difference, absolutely huge difference in our patient load coming in. And 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

10
where they’re coming from. And at the time I really didn’t know much about Google. 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

10
because the old ways of marketing were not working anymore. And because I really didn’t know about online marketing, 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 say that it’s a process.

10
It doesn’t happen overnight. But if you stay the course, you’re going to see results because I’m absolutely convinced.

1
Dr. Christ, thank you for allowing us to take up some of your valuable time today. I really do appreciate you and I can’t wait to see you in person here soon.

10
All right. Thanks so much, Clay.

13
Clay Clark is here somewhere.

23
Where’s my buddy Clay?

22
Yes, Clay Clark!

16
Clay’s the greatest. I met his goats today. I met his dogs. I met his chickens. I saw his compound.

12
He’s like the greatest guy in there.

21
I ran from his goats, his chickens, his dogs.

16
So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen right his entire life Clay Clark his entire life is marketing.

5
Okay Aaron Antis on March 6th and 7th March 6th and 7th guess who’s coming to Tulsa Russelaum? Santa Claus? No no that’s March March 6th and 7th you’re gonna be joined by Robert Kiyosaki Robert Kiyosaki best-selling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad probably the best-selling or one of the best-selling business authors of all time. And he’s going to be joined with Eric Trump.

5
He’ll be joined by Eric Trump.

1
So we got Eric Trump and Robert Kiyosaki in the same place.

20
In the same place.

1
Aaron, why should everybody show up to hear Robert Kiyosaki? Well, you got billions of dollars of business experience between those two, not to mention many many many millions of books have been sold. Many many millionaires have been made from the books that have been sold by Robert Kiyosaki. I happen to be one of them. I learned from the man.

1
He was the inspiration. That book was the inspiration for me to get the entrepreneurial spirit, as many other people. Now, since you won’t brag on yourself, I will.

5
You’ve sold billions of dollars of houses, am I correct?

20
That is true.

5
And the book that kickstarted it all for you, Rich Dad Poor Dad. Rich Dad Poor Dad. The author, the bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, the guy that kickstarted your career, he’s going to be here. He’s going to be here. I’m bummed. And now Eric Trump, people don’t know this,

5
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 and soon to be the 47th president of the United States, he needed someone to run

5
the companies for him. And 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,

5
the man who manages billions of dollars of real estate and thousands of employees is here to teach us how to do it.

1
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

1
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.

5
This is objectively the highest rated and most reviewed business workshop on the planet. And then you add to that Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. You add to that Eric Trump, the man that runs the Trump Organization.

5
You add to that Sean Baker. Now you might say, but Clay, is there more? I need more. Well, OK, Tom Wheelwright is the wealth strategist for Robert Kiyosaki. So people say, Robert Kiyosaki, who’s his financial wealth advisor? Who’s the guy who manages?

5
Who’s his wealth strategist? His wealth strategist, Tom Wheelwright, will be here. And you say, Clay, I still, I’m not going to get a ticket unless you give me more. OK, fine.

1
We’re going to serve you the same meal both days. True story. We cater in the food. And because I keep it simple, I literally bring in the same food both days for lunch. It’s Ted Esconzito’s, an incredible Mexican restaurant.

1
That’s going to happen. And Jill Donovanovan our good friend who is the founder of rustic cuff she started that company in her home and now she sells millions of dollars of apparel and products that’s rustic cuff comments one says I want more this is not enough give me more okay I’m not gonna mention their names right now cuz I’m because I’m working on it behind the scenes here 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

1
in Oklahoma. And nobody really knows who he is because he’s built systems that are very utilitarian, that offer a lot of value. He’s made a lot of money in the, it’s the, it’s where you rent, it’s short term,

1
it’s where you’re renting storage spaces. He’s a storage space guy. He owns this, what do we call that? The rental, the storage space, storage units. This guy owns storage units. He owns railroad cars. He owns a lot of assets that make money on a daily basis.

1
But they’re not like customer facing. Most people don’t know who owns the mini storage facility, or most people don’t know who owns the warehouse that’s passively making money. Most people don’t know who owns the railroad cars but this guy he’s giving me a verbal that he will be here and we just continue to add more and more success stories.

4
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, I mean, just a lot about processes, systems,

4
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 and having time and space to like,

4
you’re learning a lot, but then also being able to discuss with other people what they’re learning and just getting different perspectives. So very entertaining, very funny, very thorough but also could be random because it’s full of a lot of stories 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

4
you wouldn’t be fully aware that it was but it is.
