We build custom showers, granite courts, countertops, backsplashes, any type of of home improvement product that you might need for your home. You know, we can pretty well fill in the blanks with all that.

(Speaker 4)
Now, what market area do you serve? So maybe you could tell us about the towns you’re in or the cities that you operate in for anybody out there that’s not familiar with your service area.

(Speaker 2)
Yeah, we’re in West Monroe, Louisiana, which is we’re in the northeast corner of the boot. If you’re familiar with Louisiana, we have a We’re close to Arkansas and really close to Mississippi, so we serve the northeast portion of that boot, probably a 60 -mile radius to 90. We’re doing work right now in Lafayette, Louisiana, which is a nursing home and doing that kind of stuff, so we will go outside of our boundaries, but most of our, 90 % of our work is done within a 60 -mile radius of West Monroe, Louisiana, which is population of maybe 155 ,000 in the parish. So not an overly populated area, but we have META coming in the future in the next few years. It’s expanding their site to Richland Parish, which is just one parish over probably 30 miles so a lot of growth there and we’re just lucky to serve those clients in that area.

(Speaker 4)
Now, a couple of questions here for you that I want to get into my stack of stuff here for just to give people kind of some background. How long have you, have you been in this business or this line of work? How many years have you been doing this?

(Speaker 2)
I’ve been doing this 32 years on January 13th of this coming year, 32 years. God’s been good to us and we look forward. If the good Lord let me live another few years, you know, my son Chad’s taking over the business and in the next few years. So we’re going to prepare the next generation to take over and do what we need to do to serve Northeast Louisiana.

(Speaker 4)
Now, how did you initially come in contact with, uh, myself and or our, our thrive time show business, uh, coaching platform?

(Speaker 2)
Well, what I did, Clay, I heard, I heard one of your podcasts during the COVID years in 2020. And I was just impressed with your ability to, uh, you know, I was impressed with your story on your, when you DJed weddings and you, and I said, that’s the guy I want to learn from right there. I want to, I want to know what he did that made him successful. And, and I. I think that’s what made me do it and pull the trigger. And, and you’re an inspiration to me.

(Speaker 2)
And, uh, and I, I just want to learn from what you put, you’ve been successful. I want to learn those techniques and do what you’ve done to be successful in business.

(Speaker 4)
And there’s somebody out there that’s watching this, you know, and for our, our coaching platform, what I do, and Bobby, you know, drill, cause I’ve worked with you and I work with you, but you know, I do a free consultation or a free 13 point assessment where I let people, we hop on a phone call, we figure out where your business is now and where your, what your goals are and to basically come up with a plan to get you from point a to point B. So it’s always a free consultation at thrivetimeshow .com. com. And then once we go over the plan, if somebody wants to move forward, we charge you and everybody we work with, we charge you $1 ,700. a month to grow your business. And the question always is, well, are you good at that?

(Speaker 4)
And so if you go to thrivetimeshow . com, we have thousands, literally thousands of clients that we’ve helped to grow their company over the past 20 years. Could you talk about the growth?

(Speaker 2)
I believe, and correct me if I’m wrong, I believe that you’re up 25 % this year, or maybe I’m wrong, or maybe you can talk about the growth you’re having and or maybe not having. No, absolutely. We’re 25 % up from a year ago today, and a lot of that is directly attributable to your company and what you provide, the services that you provide our company. We’ve learned so much. It’s been a blessing to our business, and 25 % is pretty That’s a lot of revenue to put on the table from a year ago, and it wasn’t done easily. We’ve had to work diligently with your staff, and we’re the most highly rated flooring store.

(Speaker 2)
in West Monroe, Louisiana, on our on our Google rating. And we’re working hard to get more Google reviews and increase that that number and reach other people.

(Speaker 4)
so we can show them what we do and provide those services and just continue our good work along with yourself. Now, you know, my wife and I, we have five kids and we have kind of a fleet of vehicles with all the companies. And so I have a trusted mechanic that I go to every time I want to tune up a vehicle. So we’re headed out to Breckenridge here soon. And I took my vehicles to our trusted resource. And I said, could you tune up the vehicles before the trip?

(Speaker 4)
You know, could you make sure they’re functioning properly? Change the oil, check the fluids, that kind of thing. And I know he’s going to treat me fairly. I know I’m not going to get screwed with on the pricing. Could you talk about the peace of mind that our company provides you and or doesn’t provide you, you know, knowing that you have a flat rate every month, you’re not getting a bill per conversation, per hour, per email. It’s not like an accountant or a law firm where you’re constantly getting variable pricing with unexpected bills.

(Speaker 2)
Can you talk about the kind of the mindset that that, I guess maybe the mind freedom that that does or does not provide you knowing you have a flat monthly fee? I’m going to tell you the services that your people provide us. Sean Lowman is my daily contact, and what he brings to the table, I mean, he represents your company well. The $1 ,700 I pay your company is very well, I mean, that’s not even a, I mean, it pays for itself. what we get for the services. I mean y ‘all built the website for me for my company and it’s it’s a good looking website.

(Speaker 2)
I mean it’s it’s not just something you produce overnight. I mean it’s they put word, they increase our traffic and by providing the information in the website that, you know, updating it continually with photos or progress photos of pictures we do on projects. And, and it’s, it takes a lot of work and your team does that work. And, and, uh, I don’t want to just brag on, uh, Sean, but Devin helped us a lot initially also. So you got a good team of people and, and we thank you for it.

(Speaker 4)
And, and it’s been well worth the investment and, and it’s, we look forward to continued growth and it’s just going to go better from here. Now, my final two questions I have for you is somebody out there today, they’re going, all right, so you have a coach. You meet him once a week. It’s a flat rate of $1 ,700 a month. But should I do it? There’s a plumber watching this.

(Speaker 4)
There’s a doctor watching this. There’s a dentist. There’s a lawyer. There’s somebody thinking about going to thrivetimeshow . com and thinking about scheduling that free 13 -point assessment.

(Speaker 2)
What would you say to that person who’s thinking about scheduling a free consultation there, sir? I would definitely do it if I was a business of any type, what you provide, the service you provide, or they can only benefit the company that you represent. And so I would highly recommend them to use your services and you can’t spend, I do a lot of TV advertising, I do a lot of radio, I do newspaper, and this is probably the best money I spend for the leads that are generated from your your y ‘all do for our company. We get several, over 120 leads last month just generated off of what the website y ‘all developed for us produced and the results are on paper. We’re providing the services in the area and we’re The only way I can do anymore is hire more people.

(Speaker 4)
But I would highly recommend anybody looking to do, you know, increase their business and cash flow and to go with your company on that and retain your services for that. Now, final question I have here for you. My wife and I, we have a wonderful tile guy that we use for our properties. And I look at the work that he does, and I say, wow, that’s amazing work. And I’m in awe of the mastery of the craft. I mean, this guy knows how to do tile work.

(Speaker 4)
I’m in awe of my automotive mechanic who we use for all of our different vehicles. And I don’t have a problem with somebody knowing more than me about a given subject. I want to get your thoughts on this. knowing that you have a team that can handle Google optimization, artificial intelligence, optimizing your website, keeping up with all the endless digital updates.

(Speaker 2)
What does that do for you as a business owner knowing, okay, I got experts doing the expert thing, and I can call them if I have questions? It means the world to us. We can spend our time focusing on actual clients that the leads are coming into our shop just off of the website y ‘all developed and the leads you’re producing. And that’s what we do. best. I mean, just look at some of the photos that Sean’s going to upload tomorrow on some of the craftsmanship of the the tile work we do, and he will, the picture will describe what we do.

(Speaker 2)
We can focus our time on that. Y ‘all’s business is generating leads for our company, and that’s what y ‘all do well, and we’re thankful for it, and I would recommend anybody to go spend that little bit of money and put it into their business, whether you’re a plumber, electrician, floor covering dealer, whatever it is, it’s money well spent. We can focus our time on the client delivering satisfactory results and delivering it on a quality workmanship and budget. Bobby, I really do appreciate your time and your energy and allowing us to interview you today and sharing your success story.

(Speaker 16)
I encourage everybody out there, check out Bobby Williams, again, BobbyWilliamsonFlooring .

(Speaker 4)
com. BobbyWilliamsonFlooring . com. I’ll put a link to it right there on the show notes. That’s, again, BobbyWilliamsonFlooring .

(Speaker 2)
com. Bobby, again, thank you for your time, sir. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

(Speaker 8)
And we’ll talk to you soon, sir. You too, Clay. Thank you for all you do, buddy. I appreciate you. Bye -bye.

(Speaker 4)
Discipline feels like punishment. But with a vision, discipline feels like alignment. The hard things start to feel like the right things because they are building something. I know many of you have had a challenging year. Many of you watching this have a successful company. Many of you have

(Speaker 4)
business that has struggled. Maybe you’ve had a business that you’ve just for whatever reason have never been able to get over the hump. Maybe you’ve always been just kind of stuck in a rut and that’s become your normal. Maybe you went from the goal you were you used to have a goal to thrive And now your goal is just to survive.

(Speaker 35)
Well, to build your faith and to build your encouragement that you have the mental capacity and the tenacity needed to succeed.

(Speaker 31)
I thought I would get one of our younger success stories on the Thrive Time show.

(Speaker 1)
So you can talk to an entrepreneur who I don’t believe is yet 30 years old, but yet is still achieving massive success.

(Speaker 4)
Stephanie, welcome on to the Thrive Time show.

(Speaker 1)
How are you?

(Speaker 4)
Good, Clay.

(Speaker 1)
Thank you. So, Stephanie, where’s home for you?

(Speaker 4)
I live in rural Western Wisconsin, so Sparta, Wisconsin.

(Speaker 1)
And how did you originally hear about the Thrive Time Show Business Consulting Program?

(Speaker 4)
I heard about you guys actually through Entrepreneurs on Fire. You did an interview with JD over there. And do you remember where you were when you first heard that show?

(Speaker 1)
I was cleaning a house, actually.

(Speaker 4)
Well, you’re cleaning a house in Wisconsin.

(Speaker 1)
And from the time that you – I remember the exact house, yep. So from the time that you decided to get up the courage needed to schedule a call until now, how much have you grown? Um, since then, let’s see, uh, 1 ,462%, 1 ,462%.

(Speaker 35)
And what kind of a timeframe has that been in the time that you, you know, reached out to, to now?

(Speaker 4)
Yep. Uh, I reached out, we started working together in March of 2020. It is October end of October, 2021. So, you know, year and a half. Wow. Okay.

(Speaker 4)
So, um, we’ve done a lot together and, uh, um, many things you’ve, you’ve done very well. very well. And so I thought I’d do on today’s show is I’m going to bring up the things that you’ve been able to implement that we’ve taught you.

(Speaker 1)
And I’d love to get your take on how you’ve been able to implement these. I’m going to go through 10 core systems that I believe you’ve been able to implement well, and I’d like to get your take on it. First off, you were not resistant to the idea of upgrading your branding. You were not resistant to the idea of upgrading your website, print pieces, you actually leaned in and you wanted to get it done and get it done quickly. Talk to the listeners out there about how having an upgraded website has helped you. Yeah, the just overwhelming professionalism that people get from visiting our website just really blows them away to make them like realize that we are professional and that we stand apart from everybody else in the area.

(Speaker 4)
So the website was key. I also think one thing that a lot of clients probably get stuck on is being like too nitpicky about things and just like wanting it perfect as opposed to wanting it done. So I think the biggest thing is get it done. We can always change things later. but it’s better to have an awesome website than a perfect website like right now. And now step two, we optimized your website.

(Speaker 4)
A lot of people have great websites that look wonderful, but they’re not canonically compliant. They’re not indexable.

(Speaker 34)
They’re not searchable.

(Speaker 1)
So therefore, humans on the planet Earth who are using search engines can’t find them. Again, you didn’t push back. You leaned into it. Talk to the listeners out there about how optimizing your website has helped increase your leads. Oh, definitely.

(Speaker 4)
So Google leads are like huge for us and people finding our website are huge. So writing the content articles, making sure those keywords are showing up there. So we’re showing up when people search, you know, housecleaning, whatever they’re searching, whatever search terms we’re trying to show up for. So that’s huge. And of course, the review side of things is huge, too, for pointing people towards our website.

(Speaker 1)
Okay, you jumped ahead on my little cheat sheet here. But step three, three gathering of objective reviews. You guys have done a great job of gathering, uh, objective reviews from your happy clients. Uh, talk to the listeners out there about the importance of gathering objective Google reviews from your happy clients. Oh, it’s so important.

(Speaker 1)
When I started working with Thrive, I definitely didn’t think I needed to focus on that. I think I had 12 Google reviews when we started working together.

(Speaker 4)
And now, between the two locations, we have, I think, like 210 or something like that, like five -star reviews, all real. And when people find us, I mean, it’s not even how much do you cost. It’s when can you come. I don’t care how much you cost.

(Speaker 1)
So people are ready to close like that. Now, step four is building a transparent and easy -to -understand sales system, a pricing structure where somebody who maybe is not the most complicated individual, somebody who’s very simple like me could understand your pricing real quickly. Again, you’ve leaned in on that.

(Speaker 4)
You’ve been great to work with. Talk to listeners about the importance of having a simple -to -understand pricing structure that your ideal and likely buyer can understand immediately. you just want them to not be confused or like why, why is this like this or whatever. And also from the like inside perspective of the managers or whoever is answering your phone, they need to be able to quickly, you know, answer questions and stuff without having a lot of training. So it needs to be able to be, you know, in like the sales script when they’re doing a call that they can just very quickly know what the numbers are and not have to be complex about it. Now, step five is implementing sales scripting.

(Speaker 4)
You have done a great job of implementing sales scripting. And so many entrepreneurs, I’m telling you, oh, they say, I don’t want to do a script because I don’t want to sound like I’m reading a script. I don’t want my staff to be sounding like they’re reading. I want my team to have their own personality. I want them to embrace their true selves. And therefore, when their phone rings at their local business, every time their phone rings, it’s just like a minefield.

(Speaker 4)
You never know if the phone’s ringing. answered professionally, if it’ll be answered at all.

(Speaker 1)
You never know what people are going to say. Nothing’s written down. It becomes a verbal tribal tradition. It becomes a celebration of jackassery. Uh, tell the listeners out there, why have you embraced sales scripting and how has it helped your company?

(Speaker 4)
Sales scripts are amazing, as well as, of course, the call recording so that we can hold people accountable to the sales script. But it just takes all the guesswork and then all of the variables of what people say are removed so that if something’s not working, we’re able to pinpoint what that is and tweak one thing as opposed to whatever the people are deciding to say. It’s just it flows really nicely and it doesn’t sound robotic at all. Once you get used to it, it’s like I could I could say it off the top of my head. The exact scripts we use and we know they close and that way we know it works instead of just people doing whatever they feel like. Now, you also implemented a quality control checklist system where basically it’s not in people’s minds.

(Speaker 4)
They don’t have to remember.

(Speaker 1)
Your technicians don’t have to remember what they’re supposed to do. There’s a checklist for everything. I mean, everything. When you go into clean a home or a commercial business, there’s a checklist for everything. Talk to the listeners out there about the mind freedom that you’ve experienced since, you know, taking it out of your head and putting it on a checklist. Yeah, it just makes it so simple because it’s like, here’s the standard the cleaning tech is responsible for and is going to be held accountable to.

(Speaker 1)
And if that’s not hit, then we know that there’s a problem.

(Speaker 4)
They don’t get to say like, well, I didn’t know. They don’t get to say, I didn’t know. And then on the client side, they have expectations set. Instead of them setting the expectation, we are setting the expectation, as opposed to them being like, well, I thought you guys were going to clean my gutters. It’s like, well, it ain’t on the checklist, so we’re not going to clean your gutters. Now, knowing and optimizing your numbers in terms of the financial aspects of the company, again, you’ve leaned into that.

(Speaker 4)
A lot of people who are into fitness, I find, lean into that. They want to know how much they weigh, what their body fat is. is, how many calories they’re eating. don’t want to lean into fitness, don’t want to know how many calories are eating, don’t want to know their body fat percentage. People that are into artwork and doing well at art, musicians. I’ve worked with a lot of musicians.

(Speaker 4)
The musicians that are good want to know how they sound. They want to hear themselves. People that are not good don’t want to hear themselves. Great ballet dancers and performers want to see themselves in a mirror.

(Speaker 1)
They want to analyze. Great builders want to see checklists and processes and blueprints. People, the accountants who are good at their job, they want to know the numbers. Entrepreneurs who are not good at entrepreneurship never want to know their numbers. Talk to the listeners out there about the importance of knowing and optimizing your numbers, actually knowing how much profit you’re going to make per job. Yeah, I would say, number one, most important thing in my opinion is the tracking sheet that we implement together and that, you know, every single day I’m in the tracking sheet and knowing like exactly where my business is, especially now I’m very removed from the day to day kind of operations to a point.

(Speaker 1)
I’m not answering the phones. I’m not doing this. I’m not seeing the complaints or any quality issues or whatever. But I have my finger on the pulse of my business and every single aspect of the revenue, expenses, leads, closing rates, number of appointments, number of reviews, number of photos that are getting uploaded, just everything you could possibly know about the business, I know. So I’m never questioning or going off of emotion because that’s not what we want to do.

(Speaker 4)
We want to go off of facts and numbers. And so I know know that we’re growing or whatever, we’re closing, et cetera, et cetera, because the numbers don’t lie. So I love the tracking sheet. And I think it’s the number one thing that people should implement. If they don’t do nothing else, they need to know their numbers. Now, you’ve attended a multiple in -person two -day interactive business workshops.

(Speaker 4)
And the reason why we include that is a quasi -free service. What do I mean by that? I mean, it’s not a revenue generator for me. If you’re a client of mine, I say, hey, you can come to these events.

(Speaker 1)
We make it very, very affordable. If you’re not a client, you can pay $250 to attend the workshop. And if you’re in a tight spot, we have scholarship tickets available. But the point is, everybody can afford to attend. Can you explain how the interactive business workshops have actually helped you to maybe further understand the path or to get a whole picture view of the actual business plan? Yeah, I love the conferences because I always walk away with action items, even though like I go over these things with my coach every, every week.

(Speaker 1)
It just, I always walk away with something like, wow, I didn’t like a fresh perspective on things because you’re interacting with a lot of other business owners and like bouncing ideas off of each other and hearing what worked for them or what people are struggling with.

(Speaker 4)
And of course then like having you like explain it in the way that you do.

(Speaker 12)
It just makes it very like actionable.

(Speaker 1)
Like I always go away with like, this is what I need to do on Monday. to make these things happen.

(Speaker 4)
It’s not just like this motivational thing. Do you laugh a little bit?

(Speaker 1)
Do you have a little bit of fun?

(Speaker 31)
I do.

(Speaker 4)
I have a lot of fun at the conferences. OK. And what kind of people attend the conferences? Not liberals.

(Speaker 1)
Oh, that’s funny. It seems like all, we start at 7 AM, and it seems like the entrepreneurs are like, this is awesome. We start at 7. I can be done by three, I can still make some calls.

(Speaker 4)
Again, you’re sitting next to people that have had massive success, people that have been in the program for years.

(Speaker 1)
Is that helpful to sit next to other people that have actually – Oh my, I can’t even, like the people I’ve met there have been life, they’ve changed my life. Like, obviously you guys have all changed my life, literally.

(Speaker 33)
I’m not just, you know, blowing smoke here, but meeting the people, you know, the Josh Wilsons of the world who I literally

(Speaker 4)
texted him today, like, you know, we’re on a friend basis, we have calls all the time, like, just the people that I’ve met, or is just is life changing. What is your website if people right now want to go online, and they want to look up your website and kind of, you know, see who you are, what you’re all about? Yeah, it is www . serene -clean . com. And OK, so you came to the workshop.

(Speaker 4)
You’ve implemented the tracking sheet, the group interview. People say, it’s so hard to find people. I’ve never had a hard time finding people. Even right now, I don’t have a hard time finding people. But I can tell you, it’s a system that I’ve applied. It’s a proven system, a proven process that I’ve done.

(Speaker 4)
I’ve been doing this process of hiring people. This marks, I know it’s crazy, 22 years.

(Speaker 1)
of doing the same system every week, interviewing people. 22 years I’ve been doing this. I’m a 40 year old person. I’ve been doing the group interview for 22 years. Can you talk about the importance of doing the group interview and how it’s changed your business? Oh, it’s so important.

(Speaker 1)
Like, um, that has been, I would say that’s a big game changer too, because I always have candidates like ready to go when something happens. And, you know, in the past two months, we’ve taken on a huge contract and I have hired probably 40 people and, um, somebody quit today.

(Speaker 4)
Somebody quit yesterday. I fired somebody three days ago. It doesn’t matter. Next, next, next, you know? So it’s amazing. Just a little context.

(Speaker 4)
Uh, if you, just so you know, things that will get you fired. If you’re out there and you don’t know about serene dash clean . com, if you’re not on time, If you don’t honor your commitments to the client, you’re going to get fired. And there are certain people on the planet Earth that don’t want to honor their commitments to their client, and they don’t want to show up on time. And therefore, you’re not a good fit for Serene Clean. So she’s not running around just randomly firing people.

(Speaker 4)
She’s just saying, if you have a certain standard and expectation, and on behalf of the customer, because you’re a customer advocate, you’re saying, this is the standard we have to deliver at. Now, next thing, step number 11 here. You pay yourself well, and you don’t apologize for it. Now, it is going to be said that you actually make more money now per month than many people make per year. And I repeat that. You make more money.

(Speaker 1)
money per month than many people now make per year. And you’ve learned to pay yourself well and not apologize for it. But I knew you, you know, going back to when you first called us to where, you know, you were really grinding to make it work. And now you’re doing really well. Now that you’re paying yourself well and not apologizing for it, are you able to enjoy more time freedom to work out, to read, to spend time with family, friends, to think more meta on your business?

(Speaker 4)
Or how has that impacted you? Oh, yeah, definitely not having to worry about income is is really empowering. And also, of course, that just allows you to do a lot of good in the world. Because number one, we’re here to make money, but money is just a tool. And so that allows us to, you know, help the community help our families, you know, buy cool stuff, of course, but the time freedom is really that’s the whole point of this for me is like, I don’t want to have to be anywhere I don’t want to be at any given time. So and now I can do that.

(Speaker 4)
Now, final thing is you’ve been able to sustain diligence and accountability. What does that mean? Diligence is where it’s the steady application of effort over time. It’s like long after the motivation, the big idea wears off. There’s always the excitement of a new idea. Oh, new idea.

(Speaker 4)
Yes, new idea. Love the new idea. Just had a new idea. I should buy a boat. I should start a company. It should be called serene clean.

(Speaker 4)
Well, long after that idea has worn off, then diligence kicks in. And diligence is a steady application of effort. If you’re out there and you’ve ever played sports at a high level, you’ve ever been a top -notch speaker, you’ve ever been a top musician, anybody who’s out there who’s done anything at a high level, you know the level of preparation is what prepares you for the ovations. Again, the preparation is what prepares you for the ovations.

(Speaker 1)
And then, but everybody out there, if you have a sound mind and you’re being honest, you need a little bit accountability. We all need accountability. Somebody that can hold us accountable to push through goals, push through obstacles. that made that time seem insurmountable. You know, sometimes it’s like, it seems overwhelming. Um, how has the weekly meeting and the accountability helped you to stay diligent and consistent over time?

(Speaker 1)
Yeah. Um, I love that. Um, my coach definitely like holds me because everybody needs to be held accountable no matter how high achieving you think you are. And obviously like, you know, the, the pigheaded discipline is, is awesome to have that, but you still need somebody to hold you accountable. And like, for me, you know, there’s certain things like, there’s always some place that you can do better and improve on. And so what my coach Bloomer, he always, uh, you know, it’s like, okay, it’s been two weeks now you haven’t gotten a video review.

(Speaker 4)
What’s going on? And it’s like, I don’t like getting video reviews. Like he’s calling me out on it. I love that because like, I hate it, but I love it. And because that’s, we need to be told where we’re failing. I mean, they’re telling us where we’re good, but we need to be told where we’re failing.

(Speaker 4)
Oh, that’s amazing. Now, again, you are a diligent woman who’s reached out. We only take on 160 clients. I think you certainly occupy one of those spaces as well.

(Speaker 33)
And what’s interesting is, you know, last year, our average client grew by 104 % and we didn’t have any client that grew by over 500%.

(Speaker 4)
So 1462 % is certainly going to impact that average. What advice would you have for anybody out there listening who’s contemplating going to thrive timeshow . com forward slash EO fire to schedule a consultation because again, if people want to schedule a free consultation with me, I don’t charge for that we do have call screeners, they’re going to make sure I’m not wasting your time and you’re not wasting my time to see if you’re a good fit.

(Speaker 1)
But there’s people out there contemplating going to ThriveTimeShow . com forward slash EOFire . com. That’s ThriveTimeShow . com forward slash EOFire . com.

(Speaker 1)
What advice would you have or feedback would you have for somebody thinking about attending one of our in -person workshops or scheduling a one -on -one consultation? I think that most people should definitely go to the conference. But when it comes to the one -on -one coaching, I think

(Speaker 4)
you really need to look at yourself and say, am I ready to maybe be told to do things that I’m not comfortable with? And am I ready to do it? Because you can always heim and hau and go back and forth. But if you’re not ready to implement anything, it’s probably not a good fit because your coaches are going to push you.

(Speaker 1)
And that’s the whole point. You’re paying them to push you. So if you’re not ready and willing to make changes, then don’t bother.

(Speaker 4)
I tell you what, I really do appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to join us. I’m so excited about your growth there. And hopefully we’ll see you in December. Are you coming in December to the conference? Not with this big job.

(Speaker 32)
I’m a military base.

(Speaker 4)
I’m on a military base right now. I’m rejected.

(Speaker 1)
OK, that’s fine. But maybe we’ll see you at the next one. OK, thank you for being here. I appreciate you. Thank you, Clay. Take care.

(Speaker 1)
Bye bye. Okay. Hey guys, my name is Stephanie Pipkin. I own Serene Clean and this is my grandma, Sue. And we are going to briefly just go over the Dream 100 drop -offs that she does for Serene Clean and how it has really helped grow our business and spread the word of our business in our area. So just a little background on Serene Clean and working with Thrive Coaching.

(Speaker 1)
So I’ve used Thrive out of Oklahoma for two years this month. And when we started working with to thrive. We were at about $200 ,000 in revenue a year. And this year we’re projected to do $1 .4 million in revenue a year.

(Speaker 32)
So it’s grown very, very drastically since we’ve implemented all the systems.

(Speaker 5)
And that’s what we’re going to talk about today is one of the systems that they have encouraged and harassed us to use. And it works really good. And that’s Dream 100 Dropoffs. And that’s something that my grandma Sue does for me.

(Speaker 1)
And she is absolutely killing it. Grandma, basically, if you can just describe what it is that you do at these drop -offs. What do you do? When I get there, of course, I introduce… and the business, and I just tell them that I’m a business -to -business call. I’m not there to sell them anything.

(Speaker 1)
I’m just there to introduce them to a new business in our area. And what do you bring and leave with them? I actually have a little gift for them, and then a sweet treat, and I have the paperwork that explains all about Serene Clean and as I’m talking to them I try to like give a little bit of thing talk about things that would encourage them makes it a little more relaxed and casual and then I I do sign my name on all the things so I tell them that they can’t forget me and put a little smiley face with it and leave them as I go then I say and here’s a sweet treat to get you through the day. So basically she just goes gets a box of donuts hits all our stops for the day and what she’s leaving behind is basically a sales sheet that explains like what makes Serene Clean different and on the back of it is commercial references of companies that we already cleaned for.

(Speaker 6)
So the whole purpose of this is to get us more janitorial accounts because those are excellent accounts for us.

(Speaker 5)
And the thing she’s also asking is, you know, how do they clean now? And, you know, are they using a service now? How happy are they with it? Like, is there any issues? And who are you usually talking to? Are you talking to the receptionist?

(Speaker 5)
Who are you talking to? It’s kind of split. A lot of the businesses I’ve been to recently, I’ve actually talked to the owners. If it’s a large, large business, I’ll be talking to the lady or person, it’s usually a girl, at the front desk. And I ask her, sometimes they don’t know or they don’t tell me.

(Speaker 1)
And sometimes they do know, so it just works out really well to find out from them, do they have a cleaner? And like a lot of them, that’ll happen. to the owners they actually are doing a lot of the cleaning themselves so it just gives me a little heads up too of what they’re doing and then I pass it on to Steph. Yes, so then at the end of her stop she types up a little synopsis of who she talked to, what was the reaction, things like that, and you know, is there room, because really the goal of her doing this is to get the foot in the door for me to do a walkthrough and bid an account. That is the whole purpose of this, and overall how would you say the reaction is? It’s been really well.

(Speaker 1)
You don’t know, but I always I get excited when it’s a great day and the sun is shining and sometimes it’s snowing, but whenever, when I have a great day and everybody’s just happy to see me, it just makes it a fun thing to know them. And I’ve been from the area for a long time, so a lot of times I see old friends also while I’m out. Yeah, this has worked really well for grandma in particular because it’s just coming from a very not salesy family. place at all it’s not you know they’re not trying to sell she’s just trying to introduce them and it’s very you know a lot of people are just so like turned off by you know like very hard selling and so it’s just like one getting them with the donuts like nobody will turn that down and then um really it’s just yeah a very friendly thing and this is like a long game thing almost never is it the first stop that they’re gonna you know have us do a walkthrough a lot of times that sheet will sit on a desk for a long time and then when they’re ready to go um and you know they they’re either pissed off about their current service or they’re just overwhelmed doing it themselves who is that you know lady who dropped off the donuts what where is that sheet ah serene clean and then it’s top of mind and it’s just really impressive and so kind of like the highlight of her doing this she’s done this how long have you been doing this um eight months eight months um we got me a walkthrough at a very large manufacturing facility who is like a dream client. It’s daytime commercial, Monday through Friday, like an amazing account, like who I would wildly want.

(Speaker 1)
And she got me a walkthrough and we ended up winning the bid and have been cleaning for them for two weeks now and that’s like a $5 ,000 a month account. So it’s significantly impactful. And again, this is long game thinking of, uh, you know, she’s making these introductions and, you know, we’ve gotten plenty of smaller accounts, uh, as well from her doing these things. Um, and you know, just being consistent, you know, that’s the biggest thing is, you know, you do this every week, right? right every single week unless we have a significant snowstorm every week and it’s it’s fairly you know inexpensive from like for us we always did the donuts i’ve tried other things but the donuts just seem to be a hit um and yeah i just know a lot of people are are hesitant to do this but if we can do this in a small town and to have that kind of success rate and um it really we just want to be top of mind and it’s it’s working and it’s growing uh the business uh really, really well. And it’s just fun to work with grandma.

(Speaker 31)
So, uh, yeah, so that is how we do grit dream 100 and, uh, it’s working great.

(Speaker 3)
And we just say, go do it. Don’t be scared. Um, just make yourself do it basically. And for me, I don’t like to do it, but I knew grandma would be great at it. And so this is one of those things of delegating and outsourcing if you don’t want to do it, but if you don’t have somebody to do it, you need to do it because if you don’t, uh, your business will just not grow the way you want. Um, so yeah, that is, uh, how we handle that stuff.

(Speaker 3)
Thanks, Grandma! My name is Elizabeth Walker. I own a business, Nook and Cranny Homekeeping LLC. I was looking to learn pretty much anything there is to learn about business. I’m a new business owner, less than a year, so I really needed to know everything about everything. I have learned how to implement systems from hiring to

(Speaker 3)
actual day -to -day systems in the company. I like that the workshop gave tangible systems, but it was very entertaining and interactive. Clay’s presentation style was energetic, it was exciting, and it gave me hope that there’s actually a lot of success still to be done in my business. The atmosphere was energizing, invigorating, nothing boring about it. It was absolutely exciting. Maybe that’s the biggest thing I’ve learned is that this can be simple, and I think that’s what they’re missing out on.

(Speaker 3)
My name is Elizabeth Walker. I’m the owner of Nook and Cranny Homekeeping. I first heard about Clay on the radio on 1170 KFAQ. I was just switching through the radio stations, and I heard them talking, and they were kind of funny. So I hung around a little bit. Clay’s team has impacted my amount of internet leads through Google.

(Speaker 3)
And we just have people calling us almost every single day saying they found us on Google. So it’s definitely broadened our horizons and our clientele. But we also have people that find us in other avenues, and I always direct them to our Google reviews. Typical interaction during our weekly meetings is fun. It is accountability. It’s an hour of hard discussions and a lot of learning.

(Speaker 3)
We try to laugh. I always share concerns I had during the week. The team always asks me what I need help with and then they help put me back on track where I need to be. Every business owner needs Clay Clark and his team because they put a path out in front of you, a proven system of success, and then they coach you along the way. They don’t do it for you. They don’t hold your hand.

(Speaker 3)
They just stand right beside you. They cheer you on. They share with you what you need to do. whether it’s good or it’s bad or it’s what you want to hear or it’s what you don’t want to hear. Every business owner needs that accountability next to them, that proven person next to them that can keep them going. Most people think that they don’t need a business or marketing consultant because human nature tends to say we can do it all.

(Speaker 3)
And sometimes we believe that. Or maybe people are prideful and they don’t want to ask for help. Or I’m not really sure.

(Speaker 30)
I believe that one of the smartest things I’ve ever done in my whole life, definitely in my business, is hiring Clay Clark and his team.

(Speaker 1)
Somebody is missing out on years and years and years of experience if they don’t hire them. You can either make mistakes in your business because you don’t have the experience, so you just go out there and you make mistakes. Or you can have somebody next to you that has been there, they’ve done that, and they can give you a heads up, you’re going in the wrong direction. Or they can give you just that wise advice that says, maybe you should go in this direction. That’s what they’re missing out on. They’re missing out on years of experience that they have not going to themselves.

(Speaker 1)
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.

(Speaker 1)
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 February, my leads have tripled. I was getting probably like two leads a week.

(Speaker 1)
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 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.

(Speaker 1)
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 just been great and I don’t waste as much time on low quality candidates anymore. I have successfully gained our second largest commercial client and this was during COVID. So again, I started working with Luke and Clay in February and then COVID hit in was mid -March or so. So for the entire month of April, we were shut down residential, April and May, I believe.

(Speaker 1)
And so despite that, and again, being a new business and all this stuff, I mean, we came out of COVID like stronger than ever, um, and now hitting our highest numbers in the history of the company. It just leads just piling in. And the beauty is when people call us, they’re already sold because of our Google reviews, our online presence, the no brainer offer that we now give to our clients. which is, you know… if they book their second appointment within a month of the first, they get 50 % off. And again, they’re just ready to book.

(Speaker 1)
I hardly have to do any work, it feels like, sometimes to actually book people. So that’s amazing. Every week I meet with Luke and it’s awesome. Obviously, I’m in Wisconsin. He’s in Oklahoma, but we have a great time. I know I can text him at any time, call him at any time with any issues I’m having, especially when COVID did hit.

(Speaker 1)
They were so helpful in helping me get the PPP grants and everything settled away there and really pushed me to make sure I was on the ball and getting all of the grants that I was possibly able to, which was amazing. So they’ve just been such a wealth of information. When I’m freaking out because a burning fire is happening, Luke’s there to calm me down and back me off the cliff edge. And it’s just awesome to have him as a resource there. So every week we meet and we have a big tracking sheet. So we track all my leads, we track my numbers, where the leads are coming from, any complaints.

(Speaker 1)
I love my tracking sheet. I know it’s probably a little extra, but I love it because I can see everything that’s actually happening in my business. And this is so important because it’s not like I’m just saying, well, I feel like it’s busier. I know if it’s busier and I know, are we making a profit every week? Why or why not? It’s just amazing.

(Speaker 1)
tracking my Google reviews, tracking my competitors Google reviews, and Luke is always pushing me to get more reviews even though, you know, I was not very comfortable with that at first. It felt just pushy, but now I’m seeing the effects of having a lot of Google reviews. You know, a lot to me at least. Not very high compared to others, but people are finding us on Google and they’re already ready to book because of our reviews. So, you know, going for those reviews has been so interesting. in having basically easy sell leads.

(Speaker 1)
So tracking has been just so vital and I really enjoy it actually. So Anybody who is skeptical about working with clay or Luke, you know the whole team at thrive time I was definitely skeptical and to me again new business It seemed like a lot of money but in comparison to other business coaches especially like specific to the cleaning industry like I’m in I mean you’re talking like $10 ,000 a month and honestly, I feel like I get like that much value out of Luke Just my meeting with him once a week, it’s amazing. And it has just transformed my business in every single aspect. As I always, you know, aspired to be a successful business owner. And now, I mean, it’s not even a question that this business is going to be successful, even if a pandemic happens and you have to shut down. I mean, if I can make it through that and be directly because of them, it is absolutely because of them.

(Speaker 1)
Obviously, you know, I’m a hard worker, blah, blah, blah, all that. And, you know, I was made to be an entrepreneur. However, having them as like the guiding light of this is what you need to do. And it’s very straightforward. Doesn’t mean it’s easy, but it is very straightforward of what needs to be done. And I like that.

(Speaker 1)
I like having that step -by -step process and I love having the accountability because there’s a lot of stuff that they have me do that I don’t want to do. It’s not fun, but it works. And, and that, you know, having that discipline to just do the things week after week, regardless if it’s dull or boring or you don’t want to do it. Um, Luke really pushes me to do those things, which I love. I mean, I hate it at the time, but I love it because I can see how it’s affecting my business in a positive way. I don’t want to be just good.

(Speaker 1)
I want to be the best. I see them as an integral part of that. I will not be the best if I don’t have them with me. I love having them on my team. It just feels like the best decision I ever made in my business. I know I’m still really small and things like that, but there’s a reason I reached out to them when I was small because I want to be big. want to not grow and then collapse because I grew too quickly without the correct systems in place.

(Speaker 1)
So it’s just, it’s been amazing and I would suggest anybody who’s willing to put in the work and do things that make you uncomfortable, reach out to them. But if you are not willing to change the way you are doing things, if you’re not willing to implement a no -brainer, if you’re not willing to ask for Google reviews, if you’re not willing to write content, really, really boring content for your website so the Google bots find you, then don’t reach out. You need to be willing to put in the work as well. And your coach will hold you accountable, which I love. Again, the tough love is really great. Luke’s like a stern father figure, but he’s also nice, but also stern when he needs to be when I’m being lazy and not doing the things that I know I need to do because I don’t want to do them.

(Speaker 1)
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 it’ll work. You know, people, when they look at my business, you know, people in my town, they think I’m lucky.

(Speaker 1)
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 until you cry sometimes. That’s just being an entrepreneur, which if you’re a business owner, you understand that. but it’s having these systems in place of, you know, of course I’m going to be successful at this.

(Speaker 26)
It’s an absolute because I have all this stuff in the background happening.

(Speaker 4)
And I have Luke and Clay and everybody on their team working really hard to make sure that I’m a success.

(Speaker 7)
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’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. Clay Clark is here somewhere.

(Speaker 29)
Where’s my buddy Clay?

(Speaker 1)
Clay’s the greatest.

(Speaker 7)
I met his goats today.

(Speaker 6)
I met his dogs. I met his chickens. I saw his compound. He’s like the greatest guy. I ran from his goats, his chickens, his dogs. So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right?

(Speaker 6)
His entire life, Clay Clark, his entire life is marketing. My name is Kevin Thomas and the name of our company is MultiClean. We are a commercial janitorial service and we serve the entire state of Oklahoma and Kansas and soon to be Arkansas.

(Speaker 4)
We have probably grown probably five times.

(Speaker 15)
Uh, we’ve added, we, I think when we first started with you, we had 60 to 65 employees, and now we have a little over 300 employees.

(Speaker 2)
Before we got involved with Thrive Time, we didn’t really have any systems or processes in place. I’ve probably been to, oh, in six, seven years, I’ve probably been to 12 to 13 business conferences. And, uh, amazingly each time I’ve been to one, learn something new. And I’m so excited to bring it back and, and show the team about marketing and how to implement. Okay, Aaron Antus, guess who’s joining us for the December 4th and 5th 2025 Thrive Time Show Business Growth Workshop.

And anybody, don’t share that with anybody except for everybody.

(Speaker 22)
That’s my private cell phone number.

(Speaker 4)
It’s 918 -851 -0102. 918 -851 -0102. I know we have a lot of Spanish -speaking people that attend these conferences. And so to be bilingually sensitive, my cell phone number is 918 -851 -0102. Zero tip. That is not actually bilingual.

(Speaker 21)
That’s just saying one for a one.

(Speaker 4)
It’s not the same thing. I think you’re attacking me.

(Speaker 19)
Now, let’s talk about this.

(Speaker 4)
Now, what kind of stuff will you learn at the Thrive Time Show Workshop? So, Aaron, you’ve been to many of these over the past seven, eight years. So let’s talk about it. I’ll tee up the thing and then you tell me what you’re going to learn here, OK? OK. You’re going to learn marketing, marketing and branding.

(Speaker 4)
What are we going to learn about marketing and branding? Oh, yeah. We’re going to dive into, you know, so many people say, oh, you know, I got to get my brand known out there like the Trump brand. Right. You want to get that brand. It’s like, how do I actually make people know what my business is and make it a household name?

(Speaker 4)
You’re going to learn some intricacies of how you can do that. You’re going to learn sales. So many people struggle to sell something. This just in, your business will go to hell if you can’t 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.

(Speaker 4)
We’re going to teach you how to manage people. Aaron, you have managed, no exaggeration, hundreds of people. throughout your career and thousands of contractors. And most people struggle with managing people. Why does everybody have to learn how to manage people? Well, because first of all, people are either have great people or you have people who suck.

(Speaker 4)
And so it could be a challenge. Learning how to work with a large group of people and get everybody pulling in the same direction can be a challenge. But if you have the right systems, you have the right processes, and you have the right people, they’re driven, all of those things, then you can get those people all pulling in the same direction. So we’re going to teach you branding, marketing, sales, search engine optimization. We’re going to teach you accounting.

(Speaker 4)
We’re going to teach you personal finance, how to manage your finance. We’re going to teach you time management. How do you manage your time? How do you get more done during a typical day? How do you build an organization if you’re not organized?

(Speaker 20)
How do you do organization?

(Speaker 4)
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.

(Speaker 4)
Each day, it starts at 7 a . m. and it goes until 5 p . m. So from 7 a . m.

(Speaker 4)
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 during that 15 minute question and answer session after every teaching session? I actually think it’s the best part about the workshops because here’s what happens.

(Speaker 4)
I’ve been to lots of these things over the years. I’ve paid many thousands of dollars to go to them and you go in there And they talk in vague generalities and they’re constantly upselling you for something trying to get you to buy this thing or that thing or this program or this membership. And you don’t, you leave not getting your very specific questions answered about your business or your employees or what you’re doing on your marketing. And what’s awesome about this is we literally answer every single question that any person asks. And it’s very specific to what your business is. And what we do is we allow you as the attendee to write your questions on the whiteboard.

(Speaker 17)
And then we literally, as you mentioned, we answer every single question.

(Speaker 4)
on the whiteboard. And then we take a 15 minute break to stretch.

(Speaker 19)
And this is also your opportunity to meet some of the great speakers like Pastor Dave Scarlett.

(Speaker 4)
You could meet Mel K. You could meet Amanda Grace. You could meet Dr. Stella Emanuel. You could just grab a coffee. You could find some alone time. You could get lost in the bathroom. You could try to go and get a photo with one of the speakers.

(Speaker 4)
You could try to photobomb a photo where someone else is getting a photo with the speakers. You could go attempt to find your phone, wallet, and your keys. Now that’s a good idea. 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.

(Speaker 4)
Magazine reports that 96 % of businesses fail by default, By default, you have a 1 out of 1 ,000 chance of succeeding in the game of business. But yet, the average client that you and I work with, we can typically double this. No hyperbole, no exaggeration. I have thousands of testimonials to back this up.

(Speaker 12)
We have thousands of testimonials to back it up.

(Speaker 4)
But when you work with a home builder, when I work with a business owner, we can typically double the size of the company within 24 months.

(Speaker 18)
And you say, double?

(Speaker 4)
Yeah, there’s businesses that we have tripled. There’s businesses we’ve grown 8x.

(Speaker 17)
There’s so many examples you can see. see it thrivetimeshow .

It’s like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking. Don’t do the Smoke Your Way to Thin conference.
