Speaker 4:
Here. This is okay. Here we go. I got it in an Irish accent is the sound, the eye that we get in, like or height and even at the beginning of the word Irish now, but he comes like an oil, almost like the eye in oil. That’s why you sometimes see people say, Oh, you’re fish. It’s not quite all the way. Really? It’s slightly less than that. It’s Oh, Oh that we have, Oh, it’d be fine with all this oil. There is a difference you find with Martin and Jeanette living here. I’ll be fine with artists. Oh, you’ll be fine. We got it. News is another piece as well. Th I’m fine with all this. Let’s put another shrimp on the Barbie.

Oh yeah, here we go.

Speaker 5:
Some shows don’t need a celebrity in a writer to introduce the show, but this show does to men, eight kids co-created by two different women, 13 moat time, million dollar businesses, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the thrive.

Speaker 3:
Tom Shaw.

Speaker 2:
Yes. Yes. Yes. We’re in the air everywhere.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Thrive nation. Welcome to the conversation. Steve Currington. I’m so excited that we had an opportunity to welcome Martin and Jeanette from Ireland into the land of opportunity and the world of materialistic purchases. You can earn all the money you want to make to buy the things you don’t need. Yeah. Now Steve, this week let’s put another shrimp on the Bobby. You have invested, I’m calling it an investment. You have invested $2,900 into your steering wheel. Well, I mean the co the auto wrap and the steering. Yeah. How much was the steering wheel? Well, actually let’s, let’s back up. The wrap really probably cost me about 4,000. And how much was the steering wheel? 2,600. I I’m kind of being a little fussy. I don’t you invested, I don’t want to tell people the system, you invested $6,600 this week in a steering wheel. A white glove auto.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Thank you very much. Myron. Over there. White glove Lamborghini. Now on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, you start off with, you need, you need full. Their steering wheel was like, listen, listen, we are starting a foundation. Okay. Because for years, you know, bill, bill, bill Gates has been running around donating money to himself to improve his image. That’s what I’m doing. So we’re doing on the show. We’re going to start a foundation here, except we’re going to be honest about our foundation. Our foundation is being started right now to make you look good so I can get a lot of Sean. Are you aware of the, are you aware of the bill and Melinda Gates foundation? Oh yeah. I know about them. He’s spent the last 20 years donating money to himself to make himself look good. And Steve, we want us spend the next 20 minutes making you look good while teaching people how to make a lot of money.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Does that sound fair? Okay. So first on 20 minutes to make me look good. So first off we have to have a cause people believe in. Yes. Okay. We have to have a cause to try to get people behind the cost. It causes this. You two folks. Think about this. There there’s people from all over the world today who are, are struggling because they can’t afford to buy a $2,900 steering wheel and a $12,000 Rolex. Again, how much, how much, how much did you spend this week, Steve, on this? It was a, how much was the, the steering wheel? 2,600. Yeah. A lot of people can’t afford a $2,600 steering wheel and think about it. But think about the sadness, carbon fiber. And it was custom. I like a little green folks. Listen, Steve, I sold my car for $4,200 yesterday. You bought a wrap for 4,000. I bought my, I bought my Volvo for $6,100. I’m just going to say this. There’s somebody out there right now, who you feel bad. That’s not Steve. You can’t afford an unlimited number of steering wheels. And if you want to stop, let me think about the pain and sadness that you go through every day,

Speaker 5:
Knowing you can’t buy an unlimited number of steering wheels for $2,600. There’s a limited supply. And the new Rolex you’re buying for $12,000, you can’t just buy an unlimited number of those things. So the only way that you have two arms. So the only way that you can support Steve Kurt right now is by going Steve, what’s your website, Steve currington.com. You go to Steve [inaudible] dot com and you fill out the form. And what you want to do is you want to get your mortgage through Steve Currington because when you put, when you get a mortgage from Steve, correct, did he’s going to make, well, how many basis points? Well, it’s just like, GoFund me, but for rich people. So if I get a 300, I don’t really need the money folks. Listen, if you’re out there today and you’re talking to me, Steve wasn’t, I’m trying to create the emotional bill and Melinda Gates kind of mood here.

Speaker 5:
I’m saying, if you’re out there today and you need a mortgage, yup. Let’s do it. Actually, if you’re in a market that needs a jumbo, Oh man, we’re good at you. You need a mortgage right now for every $100,000. Steve’s going to get about a thousand dollars a thousand per, per a hundred thousand. So if you do a $300,000 loan, Steve’s only going to get about 3000 million dollars in loans. And I still can’t buy that. How many mortgages did you do last week? Cause he was so sad. High mortgages. I mean, I try to focus on closing two a day. I mean, did you do last week? He answered the questions to Steve worked to try to help you raise money here. I always hit my goals. Steve, how many mortgages did he do? I think we did. Uh, we did. We did 12.

Speaker 5:
Well, no, we did 11 Steve [inaudible] last week. So he probably only made $25,000 last week. And that’s way more than that. Steven will probably only made $40,000. And that is the only way that you can. But most of that goes to my foundation, right? The Steve Currington foundation for the betterment of steering wheels and you shoot, you do shift can make your dollar. So if you, if you’re, if you’re finding just 1,379 a month, somebody feels a tug at their heart. Right now you can help a rich guy buy a new steering wheel. Cause he can’t find a limited number of steering wheels, Steve, for your donation for anything special. Now let’s get, I want to get, I want to get Jason on here and then we have Sean on here. Want it? Jason, if you were to borrow $260,000 this week to buy a home, Steve could then go out and buy a $2,600 steering wheel for his Lamborghini.

Speaker 5:
True. Sounds like a nice tool for tax you get behind this cost. Oh absolutely. Now Steve’s going to buy your $1,000 Rolex. So you’re gonna need to [email protected]. Are you willing to get behind the cause there Jason, I’m willing to get behind the cause the question is can he fund me? Cannot be approved. Oh, here we go. Folks. If you’re out there from coast to coast and you need a mortgage, Steve Curry, it’s a thing where he, he stop, stop what you’re doing right now. Right now, help him and go to Steve Curry. It feels better

Business Coach Clay Clark:
To donate. It feels better to give than to receive it seriously on today’s show. We’re going to talk about how to make enough money to be able to afford to buy the crappy one. That’s what it is. Okay. So Jason, let’s talk about this for a second. Um, young Andrew out here, Andrew, a bloomer he’s 22 young Andrew is actually his rap name. He just goes by Andrew in the office. True that. So you just saw Andrew, uh, four weeks ago. Um, open up a PMH. Uh, perfect. My home location in McKinney, Texas. True. And then just one week before then I also watched him buy a like $68,000 Mustang and he’s 22. That would be like six Mustangs. And hold on a minute now wait a minute. Does this Mustang have like a really high kill record? Is that the reason? Why does it have like, cause you know, Mustangs are they, they call them like they’re crowd surfers.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
I know nothing about it. Other than the it’s just Google, Google Mustang, crowd surfer, and then you’ll know what I’m talking about. But again, you’ve seen Andrew go out there and open up his own own business. He and I are partnering on it and you’ve seen him get leads. I love Mustang. I want to talk about this for a second though. So step one, everybody has to establish, you have to establish a goal through and determine how much it costs. So I would like to go do, go through this conversation with you, Jason, what, something in like the midterm that you want to buy? Ooh. Um, well I guess it’s always been a house. I just want to have my own space. That’s not connected to other people. Okay. So let’s, let’s go house shopping. Where, where would you get a house? Um, I’m not quite ready to retire, to broken arrow.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
So somewhere I’d say South Hills. I want to get out of Midtown, South Tulsa and good idea. Okay. So you’re in South Tulsa and Steve, if we were to go get a, um, a w D if we were to go purchase a house, we have to first get a mortgage. Correct. So the first step, the first step is we would have to get pre-qualified. We go to Steve currington.com. We’d fill out the form, et cetera, et cetera. But at the end of the day, if he, if say Jason were to borrow $300,000 today, what would his payment be per month? If he did an FHA loan and he put 30 year mortgage

Speaker 6:
Minimum down, which would be like three and a half percent. Yep. And even if he got a rate of like, you know, three and a half, which is probably, you know, pretty conservative right now. Um, and if you bought an existing home that had a little bit more expensive insurance instead of a new construction home from Shaw homes, and then you bought in a, I don’t know, like jinx or Bixby, you know, $300,000 home, you go to Steve created.com to apply. Then that would be, I’m just doing this math in my head as I’m talking here. So it’d be $2,002 and 80 cents per month, per month.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
So now you’d have to figure out how much crap you have to sell, right. In order to achieve that goal. And I think a lot of times people that come from poverty or they come from a place where they don’t have wealth, they don’t think that way at all. No, they see the 2000 a month. They’re like, I’ll never be able to afford it. I certainly thought that way as well. So I wanted to, so we’re just going to go down this Avenue. I was, Hey Vanessa, how old were we? Is she here now? Okay. Um, did you say that it was a $300,000 home or three hundred thousand three hundred thousand? Our home. Cause it was that Irish country, a hundred thousand, 300,000 big shout out one more time here to welcome to America arms. I want to make sure we got this idea. So you have to establish a goal and determine how much the goal costs period.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Now you gotta figure out how much crap do you have to sell, to buy the stuff, to buy this stuff. Hey, I always tell people this, just go buy it and you can figure out how to pay for it. Later. Thrive nation. I’m going to, I’m going to just try me. I’m going to rebuke our guests. You’ll figure it out. Listen, listen though, you have to add it. So when I was 22, how old are you now? Jason? I’m 27, 27. So when I was 22, my wife and I are building our first house. I leveraged people and everybody, everybody though, everybody in the neighborhood said, Hey, what are your parents do? What are your parents, what your parents do. But I had just had the thought at the age of like 16, maybe 17, what do I want to do in what am I willing to give up for it to get there?

Business Coach Clay Clark:
But we’ve got to establish a goal. But now once we establish a goal, step one, step two, we gotta establish it. We gotta get up here. How much crap do you have to sell to buy the stuff? But three and this is, this is big. We got to put a timeline on it because I dream without a deadline is just random hope. And it won’t happen. You got to have a goal. A goal is a dream with a deadline. So you must, so let’s talk about this though. So when do you want to have a house by? I would like to have one before. I’m 30. Okay. Ooh. How’s that going now? 27. Oh yeah, you got plenty of time for that. So let’s get real though for a second. So you got to establish again. I’m going to sell Jason House today. Well, I just want to make sure we’re getting this.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Um, so you, how much money does he need down if he wants to buy a $300,000 house? Um, he’d need about 10,011 grand in total three, three and a half percent. Okay. So, and I’m not asking Jason, your, your personal financial questions on the sharpest teeing this up. Yeah. So you’d have to figure it out in your mind. Okay. When am I going to do that right now? I’m going to tell you some stuff that I did for a young guy. He was a younger than you. He said the same thing to me. He says, I want to buy a house. I said, okay, cool. And it would be about that much down. And I said, why don’t you get a big house, nice house. And you have a rule that the downstairs or upstairs is yours. No one can go there, but you, and then you rent out the other part.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
And he did that. And that conversation happened. I’m now 39. That conversation happened a little longer than 15 years ago. And that house is paid for and he’s essentially never put much money into it. Wow. So, I mean, there’s, there’s ways to do these things, but we’ve got to think now $300,000. I don’t want to put my goals on you. You know? So Steve, let’s go to a Bixby for a second. Okay. Bixby. What’s the best website to look for new homes in your mind. But, uh, Steve, um, I think it would be Tulsa, homeless things. Dot com you seriously Tulsa homeless things. Dot com. That’s my website. What’s the best website that people use to find homes. That would be it. Tell us about listings.com that has everything. But what’s one, if I’m not like in Tulsa, because most of our listeners are not until, Oh, okay.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Just go to, I don’t know, God. I hate to say, okay, everybody hates is Ello. Hey Zillow, in case you’re listening, you guys are jerks. I hope you go out of business. So realtor.com. Okay. And then we go up there and we searched for a home in Bixby. Right. And, uh, Jason, do you want a house with land or do you want it to where you, you don’t want land? Do you want land? Um, not yet. I just kind of want a house with a decent front yard backyard. Okay. So let me look at this one here. I’m pulling this up. This is, uh, uh, why is this home not pulling up here? Okay. There you go. 1908908000. I mean, there’s some nice houses here, you know? So in your mind he wants to be out of Midtown. When do you, when do you determine in your mind that it’s time to buy a house?

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Like what, what is the, what is the limiting factor in your mind that says, you know, now’s the time to buy Jason? Like what does that look like? I mean, I would want to be financially secure enough to go in with the down payment, without having to secure another loan, to have more debt. So then that way I could just focus on the mortgage. So, uh, within the next year, having enough for a, you know, over $190,000 house, put the down payment on that and then just get everything started. So you, so you, the, the, the, the down payment amount is a big thing in your mind. But then after that, I mean, you’re, I mean, I’m just saying we got, there’s some great houses here for sale in Bixby right now. There’s one right there. 2024 square feet for 229,000. Yeah. We’ll get Jason.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Look at these houses, Jason, this, this, this, this is some good stuff. I mean, this is some, this is some hot stuff we bought that one. You’d have to put another shrimp on that, Bobby. Okay. Sorry. I’ll stop. But again, I’ll just, and Jason, you’re doing the fitness thing right now. Right? So tell us about your fitness journey. What are you doing with, what are you doing with this whole fitness thing? Oh man. So I’ve got a weekly accountability coach. So, um, I have to send him a photo of everything I eat. So I have three meals a day, and then I can put snacks in there. I don’t, but each meal has to be specifically, you know, X amount of protein, uh, healthy starches, and then, uh, vegetables or half protein, half vegetable. But anyway, at the cinema photo, that way he knows every time I eat something, I’m staying on track.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
And then Friday we go through any of the times where I may have faltered. And then he’ll give me more like nutrition info, like what supplements to take. But three times a week, I have a mind you they’re, they’re out of state. So when I work out, I actually have to do a zoom call or a FaceTime call with my trainer and he watches and counts my reps to make sure I’m actually in the gym doing what I’m supposed to. Jeez. So let’s talk about this. No, thanks. Do you, you’ve talked to your trainer and you have established a goal, and I’m not going to ask you on the, what your goal is, but you have established a goal. Well, I told them if I don’t look like the rock in three months, I want my money back and he goes, dude, I can do that in two months.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Have you already lost some weight or something that I have? And I’ve also noticed some more definition, so I’m gonna have to start buy a new suit jacket. So I’ll make sure we get this, though. You have established a goal. You have said to the universe you’ve said to this, man, I want to get in this shape. Yep. You hired a coach, a strength coach. Yeah. What’s what’s the guy’s name or what’s the company? Uh, so it’s a built Phoenix strong. So the founder of Phoenix, a joke who, the second coolest name ever. He is his coach Placid, a joke who the second and built Phoenix strong is a, you’re doing this over Skype. So he’s not coming to your office or coming to your gym with you to work out. He’s no, but he’s still, he holds me accountable. He calls me every Friday.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Are you telling the truth? I get it. How much, how much weight have you actually lost before? As of right now, I’ve lost about eight pounds. Okay. And how long this I’ve only been doing it for a week and a half. I want to make sure we’re getting this idea. Somebody needs to wake up, wake up, get serious. Okay. Think about this. If you want to lose weight and you are serious about it. Jason just told you how the website again is what it’s built. Phoenix strong.com. Okay. T two, if you want to get a home, Steve just told you how true story, but we have the same four steps for anything you want to do. Period. Step one, establish a goal and figuring out how much it costs. What does this trainer cost you? Um, it’s so the way they do it is by session.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
So it’s 45 a session. And I meet with him three times a week. So it’s about 400 a month. Okay. Steve, the new Rolex you’re going to buy it’s $12,000, correct? Yep. And so you need to do about one point $2 million of mortgages to pay for that. Yup. So it’s like three or four mortgages and you get your watch. Yeah. Why do you want that? Watch? I don’t know what if I say, I don’t think you should have that. And what if I say, I don’t think you should have that watch. It doesn’t matter what I say. Yeah. I would just tell you the like, Hey clay. That’s awesome. Thank you. No, but there used to be, I would tell you to, you know, like F off for something, but now I’ve learned, you know, like, Oh yeah. Great. Thanks for the input. But there’s somebody out there right now who says, I want to lose weight.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
I want to get in shape. And then your friend, your roommate, your neighbor, your spouse, somebody saying that’s a waste of time. Oh, see, I’ve already had somebody tell me, why would you spend $400 a month on that? There you go. But you value that. Now somebody would say, why are you buying a Rolex for $12,000? And the thing is, it doesn’t matter why I’m just asking you the listener. What do you want? And how much does it cost? That’s step one. Now, step two, get serious. How much crap do you have to sell to buy the stuff? At the end of the day, Jason is in a job where essentially you can make a hundred thousand dollars a year plus bonuses, depending upon how full you are with your schedule. You know how to do that? You know what Andrew does, you know what you can do?

Business Coach Clay Clark:
You know that. And then we got to figure out how much stuff my willing to sell. I actually took a look at it and I realized with my current client load and how we’re kind of booked out right now, it would have been a pipe dream. And then I realized, Oh, they’re also commissioned deals I could do. So I figured out how many commission deals it would take to pay for a trainer. And I did it. Now. I’m going to give you a pro tip for the house. I’m giving it to you. You can reject it. It’s fine. Yeah. I would encourage you to go look at these houses for six months, but don’t buy them. Yeah. Just cause when you look at them and you go see them and you go, or you go to the gym, if you’re wanting to get into shape, just when you are around it, whether it be through osmosis, whether it be through visualization, whether it be through accountability, whether it be through whatever that is, you’re going to be drawn to it. But you got to get in the water, right? You got to start swimming in the world. You want to live in. It has to have you to start. You have to start swimming in the world. You want to live in Steve, you hang around successful people. Why?

Speaker 6:
Uh, because I don’t know. I like to hang around people that are above the level that I’m at. That’s why I hang out with you. One of the reasons, um, plus I like you. And then, um, I think that you’re the sum of the five people you spend the most time with. So if you want to spend a bunch of time with a bunch of nice people that are not successful, but they’re nice people they’re not bad. You probably get along with them. And they’re nice. It is, you know, I kind of look at it like this. If I feel like I’m the smartest guy or the most successful guy in the room, I need a new room to be in an example, which is why I’m going to leave right now. Thanks.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
We had pastor bill sheer. He had pastor bill shear on the show yesterday. And his commitment to church is kind of like my commitment to business. He said, I do not miss Sundays. You heard him say that. And he doesn’t. He shows up every Sunday, it was snowing. If it’s raining, whatever he’s committed. True. I’m that way with work. If you’re around me, if you’re in my circle, I’m Steve. Have you ever seen dr. Z when he’s sick? Have you ever seen what he does? He’ll go at have DayQuil. That’s what he says. And so it’s, I know if he’s sick, I don’t care what the virus is. He’ll say, can I get some DayQuil and DayQuil? But he won’t miss. Yeah. Because none of us miss you don’t take sick days. Right? I don’t take sick days. I don’t need it, but you gotta be around the people. You gotta be around the people that are headed in the same direction. Right now, step three, you have to establish a deadline for the achievement of the goal. So you said you’ve lost eight pounds and how many weeks? A week and a half week and a half. Now Steve would get, if I’m gonna buy a $300,000 home, by going to Steve currington.com and getting prequalified for a mortgage, how much money do I realistically have to have down before it even makes sense to call you?

Speaker 6:
Um, if you’re a first time buyer, I would say 3% to three and a half percent of whatever the purchase price is that you’re after stolen 200,000. If you want to live in South Tulsa, like, um, we were talking about that would be seven grand that you need to probably count on six to $7,000 in down payment. If you build a Shaw home, this is honestly what a lot of people do is they will go to Shaw. And if you’re buying in their Manchester series, they only require a $2,500 deposit for them to start building. Well, you pick out your floor plan, they start building, it takes them five, six months to build. And then we have, people

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Will just start socking away money. They kind of have that goal cause they know that house is going to be done and they didn’t have their money. By the time the house has done, they’ve already got 2,500 in. So they need, you know, maybe another five grand and then they’re good. So there’s, that’s one thing that people do. Um, because when you’re building, it gives you a little bit of time to do that. But again, we have to step one, establish a goal and determine how much the goal costs too. We gotta establish, establish the need. We have to establish the number in our minds of how much crap do we have to sell, to buy the stuff we want. Step three, we got to establish a deadline for the achievement of the goal. And step four, we have to stop working hard in the wrong direction.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
So Steve, there’s some beautiful houses here for sale and these houses, um, there’s one house right here. It’s one point $2 million. Beautiful pool. It’s great. I wouldn’t recommend that one because, um, Shaw, I don’t think shell built that. That’s nice. That’s very fair. Fair. Very, very fair and objective. But I’m saying is that if, if I, if Jason says, Hey, I want to buy a house in Bixby or South Tulsa. And I, and he calls me, I’m a realtor. And I keep showing you houses that are in downtown Tulsa. Clearly we’re not going the same direction. Right? And somebody out there listening right now, you are in a profession. That’s going the wrong direction. No matter how hard you work, you can’t get to where you want to go because you’re watching the wrong show. You’re in the wrong seats. You’re in the wrong bus, going the wrong direction.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
You got the wrong job. And it’s, what’s so cool is you can help clients turn their business around real quick. Jason, you do a great job with that. Um, you do a fine job with it, but you brag on one of your clients right now that has made the biggest improvements this year. The one who’s maybe had the fastest growth man, I have to say. Um, well, okay, so there’s a Steven Hall with Matson’s. He does stage design in Oklahoma city. He did $719,000 the entire year of 2019. Amen. And, uh, from January through the end of June of 2020, he is closed over 820,000. There it is. And then we have Jason Lee with Lake Martin mini. Well, he actually didn’t think that he was going to be big enough for the program. He didn’t think that the tools that we gave him were going to work for his little rural area, homeboy at $34,000 of profit last week.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Folks, I’m telling you if you’re out there, if you’re listening to this show right now, you can turn your dreams into reality, but you got to implement these four steps. Okay? So again, establish a goal, determine how much it costs to how much crap do you have to determine how much crap you have to sell to buy the stuff. Three, establish a deadline for the achievement of the goal and for stop working, stop working hard in the wrong direction, stop going in the wrong direction. And I want to get, uh, Aaron antice on the show here. And Jason, thank you for joining us, man. I appreciate it very much. So Aaron, antice you guys, I understand you, uh, Steve, you and Aaron will be neighbors as soon as that, is that correct? Well, a couple of years there’s like, there’s a lot of, uh, development that needs to happen with the developer.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
That’s developing that area. Um, just kinda needs to get his act together. The developer, Whoa, Aaron, are you the developer shot shot over my right there. Welcome Deb. So you’re you’re you and Steve will be neighbors. Yeah. Uh, tell us about the, the, the project you’re working on. Oh, which one? I’ve got so many, the project you’re working on with the homes as much detail or as little detail as you wanna provide to us about the neighborhood. You’re building your exclusive neighborhood. Yeah, well, um, it is so exclusive. There will only be seven homes built there. And how many acres is it? Approximately? 270,000. It’s fun. It’s 48 and a half acres. Got it. And so every home will be on at least five acres. Beautiful view, amazing. Some of the best views anywhere in the state. Did you talk to my wife about well water?

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Well water. I did. And uh, what, what did you guys talk about? Uh, just that, you know, sometimes people are afraid of it and usually it’s just because they don’t understand that all water comes from underground somewhere typically. So, or a body of water on top of the ground, but it’s all just water. And so, um, you know, you can dig a well and, and pull water out of the ground. And then if it’s got stuff in it, you can filter it just like they do at the city. When they send you water through a pipe that you think of as city water, it’s the same, same process just done individually cleaner though. Did you find that you find a well digging man that you like the best? Have you found a good one? I mean, I’ve found a couple of them. I would say none of them are great. It’s just a, one of those professionals we’ve been talking to Beavis and Butthead. Yeah. That’s pretty much who you talk to. And usually they channel like [inaudible] feet and no time, but it’s going to cost you. That’s pretty much everybody that answers the phone, any Wells drilling company. Now we use your fancy augers. That sound right.

Speaker 7:
He’s like more D Mercer’s brother.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
That’s how that sound good. But I want to make sure we’re getting this idea and then we can wrap up today’s show there’s four steps to achieving any goal. Very simple one. Aaron, we have to establish a goal and determine how much the goal costs. Yeah. I’m not asking how much the project costs, but D did you kind of figure out in your mind what it would cost? That was step one, step two, you gotta figure out how much crap you have to sell to buy the stuff. And I’m not asking for the specific percentage, but when you sell a home at Shaw homes, don’t you make a commission. Yeah. And so, you know how many homes you need to sell in order to buy the, buy the stuff you want. Hey, I’m not saying that it’s related, but I think it’s sometime around the time that that Aaron purchased that property, the sh the sales from Shaw went up tremendously.

Business Coach Clay Clark:
They set a record in January, February, March, April, may, and June. True. When did you do that deal on that property? Was it like technically 30 months ago? So it’s been a while, but sales have been on their way up for the last four years. I actually, since I met clay Clark, Oh, we’ve grown. We’ve grown quite a bit at Shaw from 24 million up to this year. And last year we ended the year at 80, 80, $80 million. And this year we’re on pace to do like one 40. Yeah. Things are good. So again, step three, that you have to establish a deadline for the achievement of the goal. So when’s this project. When, when is the goal to be done? Sometimes some goals take longer. Some are shorter. This, when you’re doing a development, you have to wait upon the city. And there’s a lot of things, but what are you thinking to send this to Deb?

Business Coach Clay Clark:
This is like a three year plan to your plan. What do you mean basically going into it? I knew it was probably going to be three years. I think we’ll still make it under three years now. Step four, you want to stop working hard in the wrong direction. Somebody out there is envious of Steve’s ability to buy himself a $12,000 Rolex this week and a $2,600 steering wheel, but you needed it. Yeah. But at the end of the day, you don’t need to be envious. You need to be curious about how you did it. And so, I mean, if somebody comes and works for Shaw homes.com today, we have a lot of listeners in the Tulsa area. If they get a job today working for Shaw homes and they implement their job, or they implement the systems, they follow the processes as a salesperson. How much money should they make over the next 12 months?

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Well, um, I’ve got somebody who just started in August of last year, who will probably make about 260,000 this year. And I have another one who started in April of last year. And she will probably make 230,000 this year. And if you spent the same amount of hours working at Atwood’s, which I love or hobby lobby, which I love or quick trip, which I love, you would probably have the max capacity to earn about 45 to $50,000. And if you made that at Shaw, they would fire you. So I’m just saying is, it’s not about how much time you spend doing the job. It’s about how much value you add to the hour. It’s about the profit you make per hour. And I’m telling you folks, this is your life. This is your opportunity, but you’ve got to get serious about setting goals. And once you achieve your goals for taking care of your food and shelter, and your basic needs are met, then you can team up with Steve Currington right now. And you two could go to the Rolex store and spend $12,000 on a Rolex that you need, or $2,600 on a new steering wheel. But for those of you who want to stay in a job where you’re not able to have success, and you just want to give back to a foundation and to a cause you can feel good about,

Speaker 5:
I encourage you to go to [inaudible] dot com and apply for a mortgage of any size, because Steve’s going to get about 1% of that money. And so if you were to borrow $260,000 to buy herself, a nice ranch house, Steve could buy it. Chokes me up thinking about it, tell us it’s like a GoFund to me. He can only pull, he don’t need it. He can only buy one Lamborghini steering wheel with your help. I might be able to, but to see if you were to get yourself impossibly in debt, then I can have two different kinds of stairs. And you were to borrow one point $2 million that I could almost buy a Rolex. You too could help Steve by yet another fancy watch. I know you’re there. You’re on your couch right now. And you’re thinking, how can I help? How can I give back?

Speaker 5:
How can I give back? What else? Bill, just go to Steve perry.com, bill Gates gifts back by donating money to himself, get a mortgage. You don’t need it, but if I give money to Steve, I’ll also feel good about myself for being so it’s so hard to stay in that character. Like, Oh wait, hold on. I just have a quick pop quiz here real quick, real quick. A bill and Melinda Gates pop quiz question for you. And then I’ll be done here. Um, this crying said, kid, this beat is flying alone. Sat in emotional piano song. Instrumental. I’ll give it seriously. Oh, there’s tears dropping on the actual piano. Ask you this. Aaron Jeffrey Epstein is the most prolific pedophile in American history or in this guy. Well, you know, he got arrested, ended up killing himself and they say, and bill Gates is like his buddy.

Speaker 5:
They traveled together. What does that say about bill Gates? If bill Gates is hanging out with a known, convicted, super prolific pedophile, what does that say? It doesn’t say good things. You’re making choices to hang out with the wrong people. That’s for sure. A lot of money and a lot of choices. And usually when you’re hanging out with people who are doing things like that, imagine that you were on Craigslist, looking for a babysitter. And it says profiled bill Gates foundation been known to spend long walks on the beach and massive amounts of time with a sex offender. Hire me to watch your kids. Would you hire Phil Gates to watch your kids? If you knew that when you hire a babysitter to watch your kids, if they spent a lot of their free time with pedophile, definitely would not hire that person. Would you let them recommend vaccines for you?

Speaker 5:
Good. Steve won’t know. Would you, would you trust anything that they said if they hang out with pedophiles often? Oh, I would probably distance myself from him. This message brought to you by the bill and Melinda Gates foundation. Yeah, that would be the only time that I would probably practice social distancing to believable on B leading. See, let me tell you about a better foundation than the bill and Melinda Gates foundation. Alright. It’s Steve creighton.com. True. You’re going to use that money to buy goods and services for yourself. Thinking about how that helps the economy. St. Jude’s is a little bit better. True. St. Jude st. Jude’s is a great charity that you guys have teamed up with at Shaw homes. And that’s great. And you’re helping save kids. Yeah, but we’re not talking about that. We’re talking about saving, saving me for not to buy more crevices. Hey, Hey, on a side note, I will let know that Steve

Business Coach Clay Clark:
Currington.com was the largest donor to the st. Jude home that we built. So it kills the image that actually did make it. We’ve got a couple here, Mark and Janette who are moving here from Ireland to America. So we were talking in an Irish accent. We were talking about American materialism and I’m trying to sell them on the vision that all Steve cares about is buying Rolexes and Lee and steering wheels for his Lamborghini ruined the whole thing by sitting. He actually gives back to causes that matters. It’s better than me buying massive amounts of crown Royal, which is what I used to do before I did cars. Yeah. So Steve buy crown Royal, crown Royal. Okay. We’re in today’s show with the boom. And now without any further ado, here we go. Three, two, one.
