Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Clark on Arutz Sheva Radio. to Give us a quick rundown about how you first met Clay and how this has all worked out. Before we move any further, what’s the deal there? Clayton Cotter, Founder & CEO, Rich Dad Poor Dad I read Rich Dad Poor Dad and my mind was blown so I realized I had to get different people in my life that weren’t just employees. I was working at Score B-Blob at the time and Clay was coaching them. I asked him if I could go to one of his business conferences and they said yes. Then I went after that I asked Clay and I asked my boss if I could go work for Clay and learn from him and that’s what I did. I worked for Clay from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. and then I would leave and go work at the gym from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and I was doing that about five days a week and on Saturdays I would also go to the gym and train kids and for a little bit there on Sundays I was delivering for Amazon so that’s what I was doing. Fire Nation, don’t you just love stories like this by the way? I mean these stories to me are so inspiring. I mean a few years ago we actually had Stephanie join Clay on the mic and she was literally on her hands and knees cleaning a toilet, listening to entrepreneurs on fire. Clay’s words spoke to her. She joined the coaching program and then we talked about the business success that she had as a result. I love that story and this is one of those too Fire Nation where if you take action and Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Stephanie Clay on Arutz Sheva Radio.

Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Clay on Arutz Sheva Radio. by 1,462%. And on Next Level, Serene Clean, that’s the website, look it up, Stephanie did a great job there, wonderful lady. So I’m working with this client called scorebball.com. He’s paying me, Coach Calvert, to grow his business. And he reaches out to me and he says, hey, one of my employees would like to work for you in the mornings, I guess, before he works for me. So he’s going to have like a 16-hour work day. Are you okay with that?” And I go, yeah, because I love mentoring people and teaching them how to become millionaires. I love it, but very rarely does someone actually ask me how to become a millionaire. People like to ask me, well, how did you buy your first house? Or how did you become debt free? Or how did you buy a lake house? Or how did you buy land? But there’s very little of, you know, how do you go from here to there? And I’ll just give people a notable quotable from Brian Tracy, the bestselling author. selling author, he says, no one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we must absolutely have, he says, we absolutely positively have to find people who’ve already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals. And so when I was talking to JT, I was kind of picturing myself, you know, I used to work at Applebee’s, Target, and DirecTV, that was my get rich quick scheme, working at Applebee’s, Target, and Direct TV in order to buy the $30,000 of equipment needed to start my first big company called DJConnection.com. And so when he said, can I come intern, I’m going, amen, because I like to teach people how to grow successful companies. And if anybody goes to Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire, Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EOFire listeners who have gone from a floundering or a struggling business into a multi-million dollar success story. You can see them right there at www.thrivetimeshow.com. Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Klay on Arutz Sheva Radio.

Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Klay on Arutz Sheva Radio. and verify that I’m not a hologram. This is big, okay. One of my long-time clients is called Oxifresh. You can look him up, oxifresh.com. They have over 500 locations, oxifresh.com. Well, the reason why I only work with one carpet cleaner in America is every time that you buy a franchise, I make $5,000. So am I motivated for you to buy a franchise? Oh, yeah. Is it a great idea? Yes, it is. But the thing is, a lot of businesses, I only work with one client in the whole nation. Now in the field of dog training, I’m able to work with multiple people because I don’t have an exclusive agreement signed with a dog trainer. And so JT says, you know, hey, listen, I’m going to be moving back to Tulsa from Nashville and I’d like to open up my own dog business right in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Can you show me how to grow this thing? And so I always go back to the same moves. And if you’re out there and you want to become a client, I’ll walk you through these same moves, okay? But you have to have a three-legged marketing tool. So I want everybody, homework right now, get out a sheet of paper and write down who are your ideal and likely buyers. So JT, rapid fire here, who are your ideal and likely buyers for MakeYourDogEpic.com? Anyone who has a dog, typically moms over 30 before like 60. Soccer moms are calling you, they’re probably wearing Lululemon pants, they’re calling you, they’re eating their fresh avocados from Whole Foods, and they want you to train their dog. So, that’s who you’re marketing to. So, now you say, what’s the most effective way, not the only way, but the most effective way to reach these soccer moms? And the three-legged marketing tool, a balanced approach to marketing, is this for MakeYourDogEpic.com. And for all the dog trainers out there, take notes. One, you’ve got to make sure that every dog groomer and dog enthusiast, every kind of veterinarian, they refer you. So that’s called the Dream 100. I didn’t invent that system. That’s a Chet Holmes system, the best-selling author of The Ultimate Sales Machine. May he rest in peace. It’s called the Dream 100 system. And then the third is we need to do consistent social media advertising so that every time someone Googles, every time someone goes to Facebook, every time they go to Instagram, they find MakeYourDogEpic.com. So again, the recap, search engine optimization, Dream 100 marketing, and consistent social media advertising. And by doing that, it’s, to quote Forrest Gump, one less thing to think about. And what it does is it becomes a system where you don’t have to think about it. So JT, your phone is blowing up every day, am I correct? Yeah, absolutely. Yep, blowing up. And that’s because we have that, and we’re doing the Dream 100. We’re basically at the top of Google right now and then we’re doing consistent advertising. One thing I’ll also say that you’re so good at, Clay, is helping people coming up with their irresistible offer. And I’m on the website right now and we’re talking Fire Nation, literally. Schedule your first lesson and assessment, not for $50, not for $5, for 50 cents. Talk about an irresistible offer. Like that is such a key thing. So Clay, back to you. Dude, listen to this. I have three dogs. And when I hear JT tell people what’s included in their, because people go to makeyourdogepic.com and they’re expecting to pay $2,500 for a dog training or 5,000, or they’re expecting a huge total. And he gets on the phone and every single time, because his desk is right by mine, every time he tells somebody about the no-brainer offer. It is so hot it burns my retina and gets me emotional. So I’ll let JT tell you as I attempt to not cry. Yeah, so here’s the multiple things. So first lesson is 50 cents. That way we can come out, we can see the dog, we can tell you what it will take to get your dog to your goals. After that we will beat any competitors price. After that we offer a money-back guarantee. So it’s us putting our money where our mouth is. We’re also the top in Google. So we’re the highest rated and most reviewed dog trainer in the area. And then after that, they also get group class forever. So for the rest of the dog’s life, they get two free classes a week. That way we are there for the rest of their life. So it’s just multiple no-brainer. Think about that. He’ll beat anyone’s price. The first lesson is 50 cents, money back guarantee, fastest turnaround time, dog training for the rest of the dog’s life, and anybody who schedules with him, he gives them a chance to win a dream vacation to Hawaii, and he gives it away every January. Now, this is what’s crazy. He’s an employee working for one of my longtime clients called scorebball.com. He goes to his boss, boss, can I learn from Clay? Can I intern for free? You know how many people ask me that question every year? Zero. You know how many people ask me that question every decade? Three. It’s usually every three years, JLD. Somebody restores my hope in humanity, and they say, can I intern? Next thing you know, this guy’s got a six-figure earning business, he’s got a rental property, his business is blowing up and if you’re out there today, I want to encourage you that you have the tenacity, the capacity and the skill set to become successful. I don’t know who I’m talking to, but I’m talking to you. Someone says, is he talking to me? Yes! And someone says, why is he talking so loud? Because I am passionate about you achieving massive success. Success is a lot of fun and if you’ve had success, you want to bring success to other people. You want to share the gospel of wealth and I encourage everybody out there, write it down right now in your man book, in your woman book, in your journal. Write it down that today is the day that you will escape the poverty cycle. Today is the day you will become successful. And we get back from faking our sponsors.

That’s thought-leader.com slash fire. Clay JT, we are back. And one thing that I know, Clay, from following you, from being at your conferences, reading your book, is that knowledge without application is not going to lead to increased compensation. Talk about this. Well, what happened is when JT reached out to me, I don’t spend a lot of time talking about my theories. I happen to be a Christian. I happen to be a libertarian, but I don’t spend a lot of my time there. I spend my time focusing on what are the practical skills that you need to learn to earn the amount of money that you want to earn. So as it relates to marketing, I had to teach him a system called VISM, OK? VISM. And if you’re out there today, you own a small business, write this down. VISM, V-I-S-M. Where there is no VISM, the people perish. Now, the Bible says, Proverbs 29, 18, where there is no vision, the people perish. But again, where there is no vism, your marketing will perish, V-I-S-M. So V, he’s gotta get video reviews from clients that don’t hate him. Every time he successfully trains a dog, he has to get a video review from happy customers. I, he’s gotta gather images of White Fang, Cujo, dogs, the Chihuahua from all the Taco Bell commercials. Every time he trains a dog, he needs to get a photo of that happy dog. Third, search engine. This guy faithfully records a podcast virtually every single day and transcribes it so he ranks top in Google. And M, he has to get more reviews. How many reviews? Never enough reviews. And you know why? Because my good friend Michael Levine, who was the former PR, think about this, folks, he was the PR consultant of choice for Michael Jackson, Prince, and Nike at the same time. His clients were Nike, Prince, Michael Jackson, look him up, don’t believe me, Michael Levine. And he says, if you give someone a present and you give it to them in a Tiffany box, it’s likely that they’ll believe that the gift has a higher perceived value than if you gave it to them in no box or a box of less prestige. That’s not because the receiver of the gift is a fool, but instead because we live in a culture in which we gift wrap everything, our politicians, our corporate heads, our movie and TV stars, and even our toilet paper. So people are going to look you up right now. Everyone is going to go to Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire. It’s going to happen. Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire. It’s like a tractor beam pulling you in. Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire. You’re going to go there and what you’re going to do is you’re going to have a first impression. Nothing can stop you from doing this. You’re going to have a first impression and you’re going to look at the reviews and if the reviews seem real and seem realistic like Stephanie from Serene Clean or JT Lawson. By the way, JT wrote a book about his journey called JTLawson.com. But if they look real and you read the Google reviews and you watch the video reviews, at a certain point you go, wow, this dog trainer must know his stuff because puffery is where you make a claim, right? Puffery is where you make a claim, but when you can back it with facts and you can support what you’re saying with truth, it really is an incredible thing. Now that’s just one-fourteenth of what we teach our business coaching clients. We’re just talking about branding and I’m already getting sweaty, folks. I’m telling you, this is the kind of training that people don’t receive anywhere else. And I mean this. If you go to JTLawson.com, JT called me and he said, hey, I think I want to write a book to document what I have learned. And if you go to JTLawson.com, I’m doing this special for your listeners there at JLD, if any of your listeners buy a copy of his book at JTLawson.com, they are entered in for a chance to win a dream vacation to Hawaii. Anybody who buys that book is my way to kind of pay that forward. And he’s already having thousands of people every month visiting that website, people are buying that book, and I’m telling you folks, branding is so important. Fire Nation, branding is everything, and you can tell that Clay understands this, and if you go to that website that I mentioned, and you see that for 50 cents, you’re gonna be able to get your dog assessed, and they’re gonna come out, and they’re gonna beat any possible offer by a competition, and they’re gonna give you a money-back guarantee. I mean think about these things. I mean this is unbelievable and you go to that website and you’re like wow there’s branding. I get it. I see it. Everything’s clear. The calls to action are there. JT, obviously Clay has made a big impact in your life, in your business. Pull one of the top things out of the myriad of things that he’s done for you that you want to talk about with Fire Nation right now. Yeah, well one of the things is you will never drift to success. So you’re either going to live the life you design or you’re going to live the life you don’t by default. So you always have to have your F6 goals. So what is that? Faith, family, finance, fitness, fun and friendships and you have to have that or you’re going to start to drift in one of those places. So that’s why you see these super jacked guys who have no money or you see these super wealthy people who aren’t in shape and you have to have those goals or else you’ll start to drift and that’s huge because my goals now I didn’t even know were possible.

I think a lot of people, they say, well, I’m just not good at accounting, I’m not good at marketing, I’m just not good at sales, I’m not good at leading a team, I don’t know how to make an org chart, I don’t know how to make a workflow, I didn’t go to college for that, I’ve never done a podcast, I have no idea how to hire people, I would have no idea how to fire someone, what do I do?

And the quickest way to change your life is to surround yourself by people who are doing what you want to do. So and then you have to be not just that, not just surround yourself, but also be humble enough and coachable enough to take what they’re telling you and implement what they’re doing and not be an ask-hole. So what do you say? I said an ask-hole. So that’s when you’re asking people for information, but you’re not actually implementing it. So you have to ask for it and then implement it as well. I love the word humble. You said it. I want to repeat it. Fire Nation, be humble, be happy. And Clay, the mic is yours. Take us home. Yeah, I’ll just say this. I grew up without money, built a lot of success. My wife and I really enjoy the life. We live here with our five kids today. And what I found is when I got to the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce to receive my Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2007 from the Small Business Administration. There were thousands and thousands of entrepreneurs considered, and I received Oklahoma’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award from the SBA, and everybody wanted to be my friend, and everybody wanted to know how to grow a successful company, but it was very rare that somebody was actually serious when they asked those questions. And I told my wife, I’m very passionate about helping people that are serious about success. If you’re looking for like an epidermis surface level conversation, I don’t know that I’m the guy for you. But if you’re somebody that actually wants to grow your real business by selling real products to real customers in exchange for a real profit, that’s what we do. And that’s why I faithfully advertise our conferences on your program there. Because everybody who goes to Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash eat, eat, go fire, and you met You met many of them in Tulsa. These are serious, diligent doers and goal pursuers.

Tim TiVo is coming to Tulsa, Oklahoma, June 27th and 28th. We’ve been doing business conferences here since 2005. I’ve been hosting business conferences since 2005. What year were you born? 1995. Dude, I’ve been hosting business conferences since you were 10 years old, but I’ve never had the two-time Heisman Award winning Tim Tebow come present. And a lot of people have followed Tim Tebow’s football career on the field and off the field. And off the field, the guy’s been just as successful as he has been on the field. Now, the big question is, JT, how does he do it? Well, they’re going to have to come and find out, because I don’t know. Well, I’m just saying, Tim Tebow is going to teach us how he organizes his day, how he organizes his life, how he’s proactive with his faith, his family, his finances. He’s going to walk us through his mindset that he brings into the gym, into business. It is going to be a blasty blast in Tulsa, Russia. Also, this is the first Thrive Time Show event that we’ve had where we’re going to have a man who has built a hundred million dollar net worth. Wow. Who’ll be presenting. Now we’ve had a couple of presenters that have had a billion dollar net worth in some like a real estate sort of things. Yeah. But this is the first time we’ve had a guy who’s built a service business and he’s built over a hundred million dollar net worth in the service business. It’s the yacht driving multi-state living guru of franchising. Peter Taunton will be in the house. This is the founder of Snap Fitness, the guy behind nine round boxing. He’s gonna be here in Tulsa, Russel, Oklahoma, June 27th and 28th. JT, why should everybody want to hear what Peter Taunton has to say? Oh, because he’s incredible. He’s just a fountain of knowledge. He is awesome. He’s inspired me listening to him talk and not only that he also has he practices what he teaches so he’s a real teacher. He’s not a fake teacher like business school teachers. So you got to come learn from him. Also, let me tell you this, folks. I don’t get this wrong, because if I get it wrong, someone’s going to say, you screwed that up, buddy.

Hello, I’m Michael Levine, and I’m talking to you right now from the center of Hollywood, California, where I have represented over the last 35 years, 58 Academy Award winners, 34 Grammy Award winners, 43 New York Times bestsellers. I’ve represented a lot of major stars and I’ve worked with a lot of major companies and I think I’ve learned a few things about what makes them work and what makes them not work.

Watch what a person does, not what they say Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, Harvard Kiyosaki. The Rich Dad Radio Show today. I’m broadcasting from Phoenix, Arizona, not Scottsdale, Arizona, they’re closed, but they’re completely different worlds and of a special guest today Definition of intelligence is if you agree with me, you’re intelligent. And so this gentleman is very intelligent. I’ve done this show before also, but very seldom do you find somebody who lines up on all counts. And so Mr. Clay Clark is a friend of a good friend, Eric, Eric Trump, but we’re also talking about money, bricks, and how screwed up the world can get in a few and a half hour. So Clay Clark is a very intelligent man and there’s so many ways we could take this thing. But I thought since you and Eric are close, Trump, what were you saying about what Trump can’t, what Donald, who is my age, and I can say or cannot say. Well, I have to, first of all, I have to honor you, sir. I want to show you what I did to one of your books here. There’s a guy named Jeremy Thorn, who was my boss at the time, I was 19 years old, working at Faith Highway, I had a job at Applebee’s, Target, and DirecTV, and he said, have you read this book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad? And I said, no. And my father, may he rest in peace, he didn’t know these financial principles. So I started reading all of your books and really devouring your books, and I went from being an employee to self-employed to the business owner to the investor, and I owe a lot of that to you. And I just wanted to take a moment to tell you, thank you so much for allowing me to achieve success. And I’ll tell you all about Eric Trump. I just want to tell you, thank you, sir, for changing my life. Well, not only that, Clay, thank you, but you’ve become an influencer. You know, more than anything else, you’ve evolved into an influencer where your word has more and more power. So that’s why I congratulate you on becoming. Because as you know, there’s a lot of fake influencers out there, or bad influencers. Yeah. Anyway, I’m glad you and I agree so much, and thanks for reading my books. That’s the greatest thrill for me today. Not a thrill, but recognition is when people, young men especially, come up and say, I read your book, changed my life, I’m doing this, I’m doing this, I’m doing this. I learned at the Academy, at King’s Point in New York, acta non verba. Watch what a person does, not what they say. Hey, I’m Ryan Wimpey. I’m originally from Tulsa, born and raised here. I went to a small private liberal arts college and got a degree in business, and I didn’t learn anything like they’re teaching here. I didn’t learn linear workflows. I learned stuff that I am not using, using and I haven’t been using for the last nine years. So what they’re teaching here is actually way better than what I got at business school. And I went what was actually ranked as a very good business school. The linear workflow, the linear workflow for us in getting everything out on paper and documented is really important. Like we have workflows that are kind of all over the place. Having linear workflow and seeing that mapped out on multiple different boards is pretty awesome. That’s really helpful for me. The atmosphere here is awesome. I definitely just stared at the walls figuring out how to make my facility look like this place. This place rocks. It’s invigorating. The walls are super, it’s just very cool. The atmosphere is cool. The people are nice. It’s a pretty cool place to be. Very good learning atmosphere. I literally want to model it and steal everything that’s here at this facility and basically create it just on our business side. Once I saw what they were doing, I knew I had to get here at the conference. This is probably the best conference or seminar I’ve ever been to in over 30 years of business. You’re not bored. You’re awake and alive the whole time. It’s not pushy. They don’t try to sell you a bunch of things. I was looking to learn how to just get control of my life, my schedule, and just get control of the business. Planning your time, breaking it all down, making time for the F6 in your life, and just really implementing it and sticking with the program. It’s really lively, they’re pretty friendly, helpful, and very welcoming. I attended a conference a couple months back, and it was really the best business conference I’ve ever attended. At the workshop I learned a lot about time management, really prioritizing what’s the most important. The biggest takeaways are you want to take a step by step approach to your business. Whether it’s marketing, what are those three marketing tools that you want to use, to human resources. Some of the most successful people and successful businesses in this town, their owners were here today because they wanted to know more from Clay and I found that to be kind of fascinating. The most valuable thing that I’ve learned is diligence. That businesses don’t change overnight. It takes time and effort and you’ve got to go through the ups and downs of getting it to where you want to go. He actually gives you the road map out. I was stuck, didn’t know what to do and he gave me the road map out step by step. We’ve set up systems in the business that make my life much easier, allow me some time freedom. Here you can ask any question you want, they guarantee it’ll be answered. This conference like motivates me and also give me a lot of knowledge and tools. It’s up to you to do it. Everybody can do these things, there’s stuff that everybody knows, but if you don’t do it, nobody else is going to do it for you. I can see the marketing working, and it’s just an approach that makes sense. Probably the most notable thing is just the income increase that we’ve had. Everyone’s super fun and super motivating. I’ve been here before, but I’m back again because it motivated me. Your competition’s going to come eventually, or try to pick up these tactics. So you better, if you don’t, somebody else will. I’m Rachel with Tip Top Keynight, and we just want to give a huge thank you to Clay and Vanessa Clark. Hey guys I’m Ryan with Tip Top K9 just want to say a big thank you to Thrive 15. Thank you to Make Your Life Epic. We love you guys we appreciate you and really just appreciate how far you’ve taken us. See? It’s nice, right? So this is my old van and our old school marketing. And this is our old team. And by team, I mean it’s me and another guy. This is our new house with our new neighborhood. This is our new van with our new marketing. And this is our new team. We went from four to 14. And I took this beautiful photo. We worked with several different business coaches in the past, and they were all about helping Ryan sell better and just teaching sales, which is awesome, but Ryan is a really great salesman. So we didn’t need that. We needed somebody to help us get everything that was in his head out into systems, into manuals and scripts, and actually build a team. So now that we have systems in place, we’ve gone from one to 10 locations in only a year. In October 2016, we grossed 13 grand for the whole month. Right now it’s 2018, the month of October. It’s only the 22nd, we’ve already grossed a little over 50 grand for the whole month, and we still have time to go. We’re just thankful for you, thankful for Thrive and your mentorship, and we’re really thankful that you guys have helped us to grow a business that we run now instead of the business running us. Just thank you, thank you, thank you, times a thousand. So we really just want to thank you, Clay, and thank you, Vanessa, for everything you’ve done, everything you’ve helped us with. We love you guys. If you decide to not attend the ThriveCon workshop, you’re missing out on a great opportunity. The atmosphere at Clay’s office is very lively. You can feel the energy as soon as you walk through the door. And it really got me and my team very excited. If you decide not to come, you’re missing out on an opportunity to grow your business, bottom line. I love the environment, I love the way that Clay presents and teaches. It’s a way that not only allows me to comprehend what’s going on, but he explains it in a way to where it just makes sense. The SEO optimization, branding, marketing, I’ve learned, marketing is key, marketing is everything. Making sure that you’re branded accurately and clearly. How to grow a business using Google reviews and then just how to optimize our name through our website also. Helpful with a lot of marketing, search engine optimization, helping us really rank high in Google. The biggest thing I needed to learn was how to build my foundation, how to systemize everything and optimize everything, build my SEO. How to become more organized, more efficient. How to make sure the business is really there to serve me, as opposed to me constantly being there for the business. New ways of advertising my business, as well as recruiting new employees. Group interviews, number one. Before, we felt like we were held hostage by our employees. Group interviews completely eliminates that because you’re able to really find the people that would really be the best fit. Hands-on, how to hire people, how to deal with human resources, a lot about marketing, and overall, just how to structure the business, how it works for me, and also then how that can translate into working better for my clients. The most valuable thing I’ve learned here is time management. I like the one hour of doing your business. It’s real critical if I’m gonna grow and change. Play really teaches you how to navigate through those things and not only find freedom, but find your purpose in your business and find the purposes for all those other people that directly affect your business as well. Everybody. Everybody. Everyone. Everyone needs to attend the conference because you get an opportunity to see that it’s real. Everyone needs to attend the conference because you get an opportunity to see that it’s real.
