Audio Transcription

Well, I have had coaches for, I bet, at least the last 10 years and none of them has done what you guys have done. I’ve had to fire all the other ones and you guys have made a difference in everything that I’ve done, whether it’s getting leads or showing me how to write script or doing cold calls. It’s all been huge. Okay, Thrive Nation on today’s show we are interviewing a longtime client that’s having massive success. The website is Mike Sell Monograms. That’s the website Mike Sell Monograms. Today’s guest is not a hologram, she’s not AI, she’s a real human, she has a real business, she’s not a scam ockery, it’s a real company. Mike Sell Monograms.com. Meg welcome on to Welcome back to the Thrived Time Show. How are you? I’m fabulous. Thanks for having me. Well, I’m super excited to interview you, and I wanted to ask you, tell us, what are all the services that you provide so people can go to your website and verify that you’re real? Can you hang on one minute? I’m totally real. My dog is barking. I like it. No problem. We shall deal with the barking dog, and then we shall continue. Okay, I’m back. As soon as I sit down or anything, he wants to play. So let me ask, what are the services that you guys provide there at Mike’s Cell Monograms? We do embroidery, screen printing and promotional items, even prints like business cards and letterheads and envelopes. So we do all of that. And how did you start the company or when did you start the company? I started, it’s unbelievable, about 30 years ago with one small machine and we just, one small embroidery machine because we do that in-house. And it just went crazy from there. So that’s how it began. And where are you guys based? We are based out of Greenville, Ohio in a small little town. So, farm rural area. You provide services though for people all over the country, correct? I do. Yes, I do. I ship out everywhere. So without maybe naming your specific clients, what are the kinds of clients you work with? I work with a lot of construction industries, roofers, concrete, lawn care, landscapers, a lot of those kind, even healthcare. So yeah, I’m all over the board. Well, I wanted to have you on today’s show because just yesterday I was talking to a wonderful person who reached out to us looking for help. They actually have a dog grooming company and they’re super excited to start the program. And I thought, I want to ask you because you’ve grown financially, you’re generating more leads, your business has grown, but how would you describe how business mentorship or ongoing business coaching has impacted your business? Well, I have had coaches for, I bet, at least the last 10 years, and none of them has done what you guys have done. I’ve had to fire all the other ones, and you guys have made a difference in everything that I’ve done, whether it’s getting leads or showing me how to write script or doing cold calls. It’s all been huge for me. So yeah. Now I wanna ask- I recommend you. Well, I appreciate that. I, years ago, and I won’t mention the guy’s last name or the name of his company, but years ago, I was 20 years old, 23 years ago. I needed somebody to teach me the ropes on how to grow a company. And so I hired a guy. And what I didn’t understand with his services was that every time I called him, he was billing me. And it was like to the 15 minute thing, you know, if you, so if I called him for a brief question, he would charge me for 15 minutes. If he called me to check in, he’d bill me for 15 minutes. And he didn’t actually do photography, web development, online ads, search engine optimization. He didn’t help me with scripts. He just told me what I needed to do. And then every time I asked him, okay, well, who should I use to build my website? He would say, I really don’t know, but, you know, you got to find, he would, he would hop on the phone and he would say, I remember, I remember this very vividly. He was from the Northeast and he would say, Clay, your website is terrible. It’s a terrible website. It looks awful. And if you’re going to get your company and this, I don’t own the company where I’ve sold it many years ago, but this was, so I’m talking about a company many, many years ago, but he would say your website for your company, DJ connection, it’s horrible. It’s for, it’s embarrassing. And you got to work on your business and not in your business. You got to be working on your business and it’s horrible. I go, well, you know, Bruce, who should I go with? I don’t know. I have a guy I could recommend the guy I make a kickback, if you want to use him it’s probably 10 grand. And I’m going, 10 grand? Oh, 10 grand. Now, I’m like, okay, so how do I optimize it? I don’t know, but you need to get one of those search engine guys, because I don’t do that, I’m just telling you, looking at it, it’s terrible. You got to work on your business. And I was paying money for that sort of jackassery, and then over time I had to then hire a web company, a creative state who did a good job, and I spent well over $20,000 developing my website. And then I had to hire a videographer that I spent just thousands and thousands. And with what we do, it’s all in one. Can you kind of explain what it’s like to have an all-in-one resource? Oh, my. I love it. Well, first of all, you redid my website. The next thing, you put me at the top of the page, I believe, on Google. You do it all. You’re a one-stop shop guy. That’s all I can say. And you help me grow my business. You show me how to write script and all of that. So, yeah. Now, I’m going to pull up a diagram that I think best describes what we do, but I want to get your take on this because, again, you’re living it, you’re the customer, we have an honor to serve you and work with you and so I want to get your feedback on this. This is a workflow and people ask me all the time, they say, Clay, what is the most important thing to grow a business? What’s the most important part? And I say, well, that’s like asking somebody who’s making cookies, what’s the most important ingredient? I mean, if you don’t include eggs, you’re going to have a problem. If you don’t include flour, you’re going to have a problem. That’s like asking an auto mechanic or an automotive repair guy, what’s the most important part of the car? Is it the steering wheel? Is it the engine? Is it the windshield? Is it the tires? I would argue if you remove the tires or the steering wheel or any core component of the car, it would stop working. And when you run a business, you’ve got marketing, you’ve got branding, you need to know your goals, you got to track your numbers, you got to learn time blocking, you got to figure out your unique value proposition, you’ve got to figure out your sales conversion process and your scripts, as you mentioned. You have to focus on developing a sustainable customer acquisition cost. What does it cost you to get a new customer? You’ve got to build repeatable systems. You’ve got to learn how to manage people. You’ve got to build a repetitive schedule that works for your whole team. You’ve got to master HR. You’ve got to do accounting. You’ve got to do legal, all of that. And really, I feel like through our coaching program, we guide our clients through all of that. But I want to get your reaction just kind of looking at this diagram. How would you describe what the coaching experience is like when you’re kind of referencing this diagram? Well, when I look at the diagram, it looks like, oh, my lands, I’ll never be able to do that. When you do coaching, you do it one step at a time. It’s kind of like, as the old saying goes, eating an elephant one bite at a time. And they just walk you through it a little bit at a time. My coach has helped me even on words, on what to say. We’ve started making cold calls. I have one of my girls making cold calls, and she doesn’t like it at all, but the coach got on the phone with her and made some cold calls with some of our customers that we had picked out. And it has changed her on how to make cold calls. He was with us. He did the calls, called the people that we had, you know, looked through Google to find, and it was wonderful. She’s changed her attitude on cold calls a little bit, not a lot, but I’m paying her for Google reviews, and that’s helped her want more reviews. It’s just been amazing. That’s all I can say. Now, you know, one of the things that I love about working with you is I hear from Carter and the team, you’re super coachable. So when I heard that your sales are up significantly, I was not shocked. Without telling your actual financial numbers, how would you describe the growth in terms of the financial benefit? Because obviously we charge for our service, we charge people $1,700 a month and we don’t apologize for that price. We do operate at a 20% margin. So, you know, we make 20%, we make $340 a month for clients and we work with 160 clients. But how would you describe the financial impact on your business? Well, last year, my growth was 13% up and this year so far it’s up 20%. So yeah, my growth is doing really well and we’re not even, I don’t feel like we’re working super duper hard, you know, it’s not like we’re going crazy. It’s just one step at a time. It’s been, yeah. I highly recommend you. Well, I appreciate that. You know, creating checklists. Checklist is a big thing. And again, you know, I do conferences, big conferences, small conferences. I have a huge conference coming up in June, and I have a checklist. And I think if people saw it, they’d probably get nauseous. But I’m not exaggerating. It’s over 40 pages long and it’s everything that has to be checked before the conference takes off. So it’s lighting, it’s sound, speakers, it’s cables, it’s chords, it’s speaker times, it’s speaker bios, it’s videos, it’s music, it’s the mariachi band, it’s renting the llamas. Yes, we rent llamas. It is helicopter rentals, it is the catering for the dinners, it’s the VIP dinner, it’s who’s picking up who at the airport. I mean, it is a massive list of items. And if I tried to recite all 42 pages of things that are on that list, it wouldn’t be possible. So that’s why I have a checklist for my haircut chain, elephant in the room. I have a meeting with a great teammate here in just a moment, and she’s been on our team for almost 10 years, this wonderful teammate. She’s been on our team for almost 10 years, elephant in the room. And her frustration, we’re gonna talk about today, is we have a new employee that was choosing not to use the checklist. And as the manager, she was imposing the usage of the checklist and was doing a great job and the employee pushed back. And so we’re gonna have an exciting meeting in about 35 minutes, where we’re gonna meet the manager and I and this employee and talk about the importance of checklists. But we’ve helped, had to help you. We’ve had the honor to help you develop those checklists and systems. Could you talk about what kind of impact that’s had on your business? It has had a really big impact with me. Checklists personally are daunting. I don’t like doing them, but I’m really glad when I get them done. And Carter has helped me so much in making more checklists. Right now I’m working on checklist for quoting, which I never even thought about before until I was talking to Carter, so that I can have one of my girls start quoting some of my jobs for me. But it’s all with checklists. I never thought of doing checklists until you guys came up with that checklist. So I love it, even though I hate it, if that makes any sense. No, no, it’s good. Now, this idea of merit-based pay, you know, next time that I see you in Tulsa, if you come to one of our business conferences, I have planted hundreds of trees on my property, many of which produce fruit. I have fruit trees. So I have peach trees and apple trees, pear trees, different kinds of trees. And I pay my kids, every time they pull a weed, I pay them 10 cents. And they get paid 10 cents for a weed they pull. And then every time that they get a peach off the tree, a fresh peach, they get 10 cents. And I pay them that way because they get after it. And so, I’m not exaggerating. So yesterday, my kids pulled over 1,000 weeds each and they got it done, and they got it done in about four hours. So all the weeds on the property were pulled. It looks sharp now. But if I told my kids I’m paying them 12 an hour, they probably would be out there moving slow, moping around, not getting things done. But in like four hours, these guys hold thousands of weeds, the property looks great, and I use merit-based pay for everything. I have a checklist for cleaning our bathrooms, and every time that a person cleans the bathroom, we give them a bonus or a payment for that. I pay my staff at Elephant in the Room, every time that they do a great job or get a great comment or a great review from a customer, we pay them a bonus. Our search engine team, every time they write an article, they get a bonus. Our web development team, every time a client approves of a website they’re happy with, they get a bonus. Our video team, every time that we make a video for clients like you, if you approve the video and you like it, they get a bonus. I mean, everything is merit-based pay, but I find in most businesses, by default, there is no merit-based pay, and therefore people don’t want to do anything other than just clock in and get paid. We’ve been helping you build merit-based pay systems. How has incentivized pay impacted your business? Oh, wow. Well, I have Lori, who does my cold calls and does reviews and delivers my products to my customers. When she delivers them, she needs to get a review. At first, we started doing it and she was hesitant. She didn’t really like it until I told her I was paying her $3 a review. Oh, well that kind of incentivized her. Then when she started doing cold calls and I would get a customer from one of her cold calls and I’m paying her a percentage off of that invoice that she got. Then that incentivized her. So she’s really kind of more excited about doing cold calls and getting reviews. So it’s been fun. Now, get calls from Google. I have, one of the brands I work with is called Oxifresh, oxifresh.com, oxifresh.com. I’ll pull it up so people know it’s a real company. And since I’ve worked with Oxifresh, I mean, they’ve grown now to have over 500 locations. And so they’re booking thousands of carpet cleaning jobs each and every week. It’s really incredible, the growth there. But when you look at that business, a lot of the business comes from search engine optimization. It comes from repeat customers. So again, that’s the big three, search engine optimization, repeat customers, and it comes through social media marketing. How has search engine optimization, again, our team provides the search engine optimization for you, how has the search engine optimization impacted your business in terms of helping you gather new clients? Well, actually, I got three or, I can’t remember if it was three or four calls just this week from Google. Google and it has helped it hugely people have called me from From like 25 to 50 miles away and when it’s too far away, they’ll say yeah. Well, maybe that’s too far I mean, it’s up to 75 miles one lady called because she found me on Google and she only wanted one thing And she thought I was too far away to come up. But yeah, so it’s worked great So what do you say to somebody who’s watching this video right now, they’re on the outside, they’re a dentist, they’re a doctor, they’re a lawyer, they’re a home remodeler, they’re a dog groomer, they’re a, we have a haircut, it’s pretty wild, we work in so many different industries, we have a hair school we work with, a cosmetology school, we have a nail salon, we have a dog training business we work with, we have mortgage providers, lawyers we work with, dentists, auto wrappers, just the only industries we work with. We’ve done work with UPS. We’ve done work with farmers insurance. We do, we’ve done work with state farm. I go on a listing. It’s literally 160 clients. I think it’s probably a hundred different industries we’re involved in. What do you say to somebody who’s thinking about going to thrive, time show.com and scheduling that free consultation, because we do a free consultation. I don’t want to waste anybody’s time. I don’t want to waste my time. So what do you say to anybody who’s thinking about going to thrivetimeshow.com and scheduling that first free 13-point assessment? I would say do it. I mean, anybody that talks to me about my company and they’re questioning what they need to do with their company, and I’ve had several people call you guys. One was like a waste management team, another was a landscaper. I totally recommend it, and I recommend it to anyone that talks to me about how my business is growing. I tell them to go to you guys. You’re it. Now, Meg, you know, you have experienced the weekly calls and I don’t know how to even discuss this without sounding like I’m a jerk to all other consultants. I’m not trying to be a jerk, but this is real. I’ve hired a lot of consultants. When I was building my first company DJConnection.com and then I went on to grow a company called Party Perfect which I later sold and I grew Epic Photography and you know I hired consultants to help me go down the path to build my businesses. I wanted to build EpicPhotos.com. I wanted to build Elephant in the Room. I had visions of things I wanted to build but you know so I thought what I’m going to do is I’m going to go ahead and hire some consultants. And I found this bizarre concept that many of them wanted to meet monthly or quarterly. And I’m going, what? Because we’d have a meeting, and in the meeting, the way our meetings work is we hop on the call, it’s about an hour, we block out an hour. And sometimes the calls are 30 minutes, and we encourage our clients to always block out an hour. And we have an agenda pulled up, and then you as the client leave with homework and we as the coaching service we leave with homework and we assign a to-do date and an action item and we meet and every week we meet so it creates a momentum because you got your homework done, we got our homework done and it creates a real momentum. I found that these companies I would meet with quarterly, it was a complete and massive waste of time because usually they never did their homework, and usually a quarter had gone by. So three months had gone by, and many of the things that I was assigned to do, I didn’t understand how to do, and every time I called them, they would charge me per interaction. So I decided that when I built my consulting service, and it was never something I sat down and wanted to do, actually. People were asking me, could you help me grow my business? People were calling me, even though I wasn’t even a service. Thrivetimeshow.com didn’t exist. I hadn’t started makeyourlifeepic.com. People would just call me and they’d say, hey, I’ve got a bridal gown business. One of my long-time clients back in the day, Fashiana, she calls us, could you help me grow my business? I remember saying, yes, but we have to meet weekly. And I don’t know a lot of other coaching services that do meet weekly. Can you talk about the importance of weekly meetings? Oh, wow. It keeps me accountable, that’s for sure, because when I know I’m getting my coach call, I know how I work. It’s usually Tuesday night is when I do my homework, because I know he’s calling me Wednesday morning. But I need that accountability to keep me focused, to keep me going, because otherwise I wouldn’t do it. A month call or three months, that would be outrageous. I would get nothing done by then. I would just be meandering. Well you are the best to work with and Carter has nothing but great things to say about you but I’ll give you the final word. What do you say to anybody out there watching today? They’re thinking about coming to a conference, they’re thinking about becoming a client, they’re thinking about scheduling a consultation. What do you say there Ms. Mag? I would say do it. Go to the conference, talk to the people that’s there, that’s where you’ll see the real people and what they’re working on. For sure, at least call the free consultation, do that. That’s what I started with, is the free consultation. It was a dollar, I think, right? Yeah, we always charge it. The way we do it, it’s kind of crazy. I tell people, if you want to move forward, we’re going to charge you a dollar. I just did it last night with this incredible pet groomer. I’m going to send this video to the pet groomer guy, but I think people go, a dollar? Yeah, a dollar. And what we’re going to do is we’re going to charge you a dollar. And so I told the guy last night, we’ll charge you a dollar. And then your first couple of coaching sessions and your conference is included in that. And that way, if you can’t stand the conference and you can’t stand the first couple of meetings, you’re only out a dollar. And I think that’s a better way to roll because our average client’s with us for six and a half years, so I think it’s a better way to go. Mm-hmm. Yep. It was. It got me. It worked. And I’m still happy, very happy. Well, thank you for all you do. Thank you for carving out time. And again, if you’re out there today and you’re looking for the services that you provide, I want people to know about you again. So tell us, just kind of run off a list real quick here. Again, what are all the services that you provide? So maybe any of our listeners who are watching this, they may consider utilizing your services. Oh, absolutely. I do embroidery, any kind of logo, business logo that you have. We do screen printing, and we do all kinds of promotional items, which that includes anything you can think of, actually. And we do print, which is envelopes, business cards, notepads, any of those kind of things. Anything that you need with your logo on, we can do it. Mikesellmonograms.com. Again, folks, that’s Mikesellmonograms.com. Mag, thank you so much for your time. We’ll talk to you soon. Absolutely, thank you. Oh my God! Yes! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

We’ve got grill guns over here. We’ve got people playing the drums. We’ve got a fire breather. And, man, people are so excited as they come in. Woo! Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the grill gun. Oh! Hi, I’m Bob Healy. I’m the inventor of the grill gun and the civi gun. Tim Tebow 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. And a lot of people, you know, 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 gonna have to come and find out because I don’t know. Well, I’m just saying, Tim Tebow’s 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.

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 $100 million 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, Russia, Oklahoma, June 27th and 28th. JT, why should everybody wanna hear what Peter Taunton has to say? Oh, because he’s incredible. He’s just a fountain of knowledge. He is awesome. He has 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. And now the best-selling author of The Carnivore Diet and the multiple time Joe Rogan guest, Dr. Sean Baker, joins our two-day interactive business growth and life optimization workshop.

Thrive Time Show two day interactive business workshops are the world’s highest rated and most reviewed business workshops because we teach you what you need to know to grow. You can learn the proven 13 point business system that Dr. Zellner and I have used over and over to start and grow successful companies. We get into the specifics, the specific steps on what you need to do to optimize your website. We’re going to teach you how to fix your conversion rate. We’re going to teach you how to do a social media marketing campaign that works. How do you raise capital? How do you get a small business loan? We teach you everything you need to know here during a two-day, 15-hour workshop. It’s all here for you. You work every day in your business, but for two days you can escape and work on your business and build these proven systems so now you can have a successful company that will produce both the time freedom and the financial freedom that you deserve. You’re going to leave energized, motivated, but you’re also going to leave empowered. The reason why I built these workshops is because as an entrepreneur, I always wish that I had this. And because there wasn’t anything like this, I would go to these motivational seminars, no money down, real estate, Ponzi scheme, get motivated seminars. And they would never teach me anything. It was like you went there and you paid for the big chocolate Easter bunny, but inside of it, it was a hollow nothingness. And I wanted the knowledge. They’re like, oh, but we’ll teach you the knowledge after our next workshop. And the great thing is we have nothing to upsell. At every workshop, we teach you what you need to know. There’s no one in the back of the room trying to sell you some next big get-rich-quick, walk-on-hot-coals product. It’s literally, we teach you the brass tacks, the specific stuff that you need to know to learn how to start and grow a business. I encourage you to not believe what I’m saying, but I want you to Google the Z66 auto auction. I want you to Google elephant in the room. Look at Robert, Zellner, and Associates. Look them up and say, are they successful because they’re geniuses? Or are they successful because they have a proven system? When you do that research, you will discover that the same systems that we use in our own business can be used in your business. Come to Tulsa, book a ticket, and I guarantee you it’s gonna be the best business workshop ever, and we’re gonna give you your money back if you don’t love it. We’ve built this facility for you, and we’re excited to see you.

Well, good news, the tickets are $250 or whatever price that you can afford. What? Yes, they’re $250 or whatever price you can afford.

I learned at the Academy at Kings Point in New York, octa non verba 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 close, but they’re completely different worlds. And I have 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 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, 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. 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. So anyway, I’m glad you and I agree so much, and thanks for reading my books. Yeah. 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, Kings Point in New York, octa 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’m not 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. We have workflows that are kind of all over the place. Having linear workflow and seeing that mapped out on multiple different boards it’s 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 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, 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 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, 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 know, you want to take a step-by-step approach to your business. Whether it’s marketing, you know, 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 got to go through the ups and downs of getting it to where you want to go. He actually gives you the roadmap out. I was stuck, didn’t know what to do and he gave me the roadmap 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 motivates me and also gives 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 can do it for you. I can see the marketing working. It’s just an approach that makes sense. Probably the most notable thing is just the income increase that we’ve had. It’s super fun, it’s super motivating. I’ve been here before, but I’m back again because it motivates me. Your competition is 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 K9, 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 make your life epic. We love you guys. We appreciate you and really just appreciate how far you’ve taken us 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 fourteen. 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 grams 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 wanna 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 Thrive Time workshop, you’re missing out on a great opportunity. The atmosphere of 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. 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 more in the last two days than I have the entire four years of college. The most valuable thing that 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 has completely eliminated 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 going to grow and change. Play really teaches you how to navigate through those things and not only find freedom, but find a purpose in your business and find the purposes for all those other people that directly affect your business as well. Everybody. Everybody. Everybody. Everyone needs to attend the conference because you get an opportunity to see that it’s real.

Oh my God! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey guys, Luke Erickson here with the Thrive Time Show. As you can see behind me, we’ve got all kinds of energy going on. People are starting to show up for the conference and it is hot in this place. We’ve got grill guns over here, we’ve got people playing the drums, we’ve got a fire breather, and man, people are so excited as they come in. The conference has kicked off, this house is packed. We’ve got Gary Hanzel’s showroom up there, we’ve got Steve Barington’s tour with the concepts up there. We’re talking about what is possible when you just implement it? When you implement it, you do the provenance. So exciting. People are going crazy. Now, Michael Levine, writer of many, many PR books, the man who represented people like Michael Jackson, Barbara Streisand, George Bush, Stanley Parnes, speaking to people here at our conference, talking about branding. One of the greatest branding experts alive today is here on conference talking to entrepreneurs. We just wrapped up day one, it was incredible. We had some remarkable speakers, Michael Levine. We just finished with a lady named Jill Donovan who owns a company called Rustic Cuff talking about the power of the Dream 100. I cannot wait to see what it’s like to go on in for day two. Follow me. People are so excited to be here for day two. It is going to be incredible. Cannot wait to see what today has in store. Right now, here at the conference, we have broken into groups going over search engine optimization. I know for most of us, myself included, if you hear that term, what is that? What does that mean? That’s too techy for me. Well, our experts are breaking it down for people so that you can clearly understand how to come up top in Google. It’s doable. It’s possible. Now we’re in the middle of a break. And what we like to do is we like to give you as much tangible and relevant information from about the start of the hour for 45 minutes. Then we take approximately a 15 minute break to allow people to connect with other entrepreneurs around them, bathroom break, and also use this time to just really digest all of the good information that you’re receiving the whole time. Right behind me we’ve got Bob with his drill gun melting an ice sculpture. It is awesome. The ice sculpture represents our life, right? It’s here for a time, but we all need to have the sense of urgency to implement the things that we’re learning so that we can make the most of the time that we have. We are outside, you can see a line behind me. What’s going on is that we partner with different companies to help them implement the proven systems over and over and over again and one of those companies is Master Machine and so what we like to do is partner with these companies to also help them give samples to other people as they come to the conference and truly get their name out. I just wanted to recap some of the amazing things that have happened today. We’ve had entrepreneurs like Paul Hood with Good CPAs. We’ve had Jill Donovan and Michael Levine come up and just impart so much wisdom and knowledge. We’ve got an incredible giveaway for one of our teamies. Hey there Thrive Nation. One of the things that we love most about our business conferences is that we want every entrepreneur to leave with their questions answered. So what we do is we let them put the questions up on the board here and we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them answer them. And we let them put the questions up on the board here so that they can ask their specific questions and Clay will not end the conference until every question is answered. Why does Clay Clark need to answer all the different questions that entrepreneurs have brought to the conference? Whenever someone comes here and starts to hear this information, especially for the first time, it just brings about so much anticipation of wanting to actually implement the proven systems and processes. And so, Clay always wants to make sure that he answers all of their questions so that they are the most set up for success to be able to go home and start implementing. If you have any questions, email us at info at Thrivetimeshare.com. Hello, I’m Wes Carter. I’m one of the shareholders at Winters and King. My favorite thing that Thrive has helped me accomplish here in our firm is thinking a little bit outside of the box. They do SEO, they do printing, they help us with a lot of things from the day-to-day marketing for the firm, but they also help us think of things that as attorneys we probably wouldn’t normally think of that help us market our services to our clients. One of the things I love about working with Thrive is that they make it enjoyable to actually do work with them. It’s not dry, it’s usually fun, but it’s always very enjoyable and practical. They give me things and ideas that I can put into place. It’s not just some theoretical spiel that they give me. We get practical steps that we work on together to do my job better. So me personally, I would easily recommend Thrive 15 services to my friends, my families. I’d recommend them to my clients. I think they do a good job. They’re passionate. They care about their clients. And I think it’s actually a valuable service they provide to people that are in the business world. My name is Jeff Thomas. I’m originally from Atlanta, Georgia. It’s all about getting to the grindstone. It is about putting the, it’s one thing to have a specific vision or a dream, but knowledge without application isn’t knowledge at all. So that’s nothing. It’s really funny. The atmosphere is very lively. Everybody that is working for Clay is very upbeat and not tired, not sluggish, not complaining, not whining. They don’t have anything to do with those types of characteristics. It’s all about getting to the grind and having fun while you do it. I haven’t actually been to any conferences in the past, but what I will say from what I’ve seen on YouTube and what from other friends have told me is this isn’t like a motivational kind of thing such as you know whoo-hoo rah-rah gets you motivated but it’s like practical steps that if you do take them which most people aren’t willing to do then you will grow and you will you’ll achieve the specific things that you want. Well for one thing I would say that this isn’t necessarily for everyone so if you’re not willing to work this isn’t for you but I will say that if you are willing to work and you you know you’re just getting started but you have actually taken a step in that direction then this will actually help you grow further exponentially than you could ever imagine. My name is Taylor Hall I’m the general manager of the Tulsa Oilers professional hockey team. You know our goal every night here at the BOK Center is to try to fill the seats with lots of people and create an exciting environment so when somebody comes to a game, they want to come back. Working with Clay and the staff at Thrive, they’ve really helped us in many, many ways. Website and graphic design and video production and a lot of things that go along. And a lot of businesses, including ours, doesn’t have a staff or a full-time, you know, videographer or graphic designer. But the biggest thing that we noticed was the needle mover. More sales, more attendance, more successes in business. We had a record year last season working with Clay for the first time. Our average attendance is higher than it’s ever been. So there’s a lot of really cool things that we did, and they worked. That’s the nice thing about working with Clay and the team over there. It’s just not one person, you get the entire team. If you need video design and editing and production, they’ve got that. If you need graphic design, if you need some coaching, your salespeople, call scripts, PR, they offer all that. Clay was instrumental in helping guiding us and getting us on the right track so that we could really raise the bar and become ultra successful. So it’s been an amazing experience for me. My name is Kaitlin. I own a tumbling gym called Justice Tumbling Company. It’s awesome. Working with Clay is so helpful. Just being diligent with everything and making sure we execute our goals and really make things happen. It’s fun, it’s quiet, it really gets you energized and going. It makes you really want to work to get the momentum going, to really just like get that buzz, really give you the energy to get up and make it happen. I’m Bob Healy. I’m in the charcoal grilling industry and the name of my business is Grillblazer. How will I apply what I’m learning at this conference and from my regular weekly attendances that it’s helping me establish the business and get it off the ground. Clay’s presentation style is just blatant disregard for what anybody wants. He just has fun, it’s him, everything that you see is authentically clay. It’s a great deal of fun. Everybody enjoys it. They know when you walk in, they think they’re coming into a carnival, and frankly they are. It’s just great fun. There’s not another conference like it. You don’t go to a carnival atmosphere and learn what they do here at the Thrive Conference. It’s great. The reason people should attend at least one of these conferences is because it’s common sense. And everybody’s fed an entire line about the way you should run a business until you actually experience running a business, which is, candidly, what you learn here, how to run a business. You don’t know what you’re doing. My name is Tyler Hastings, and this is my wife, Rachel. And our company is Delricht Research, out of New Orleans. During our time working with Thrive, we’ve had numerous successes. When we first started, we were working with one physician, we had one research site, and we were seeing on average, you know, between 10 and 15 patients a week. Since working with Thrive in the last 18 months, we now have four research sites. We work with over five physicians, and on average, we’re now seeing over 60 patients per week. Recently, we’ve been the top enroller worldwide in seven studies, which is just incredible considering where we were two years ago, 18 months ago. Thrive really differs from the other conferences that we’ve been to and the other kind of programs that we’ve been through because they actually really practice what they preach. And they implement the same systems and the processes that they teach you about and they give you real life examples that really work for them and show you with the training how to implement that yourself. For example, Tyler and I actually got the opportunity to come out to Tulsa and we’re fortunate enough that the Thrive team took us out to some of the businesses that they own and we really got to see in real life, real-time, some of the systems and processes and it was just incredible. A real-life example of some of the businesses and the things that they’re implementing. Having a coach is important to us. They act as not only an accountability factor, but they’re someone we can talk to on a daily basis as we go through the problems of running a business that inevitably come up. They always understand what we’re going through and they’re always there to help us or guide us through the problems that we experience. The best part of our experience working with Thrive has just been seeing our relationship grow. So at each step as our business grows, they have something else to provide us with. They’ve got the resources, whether it be marketing, graphic design, website development, or even in accounting practices, maybe we need a new insurance policy. If they have someone they can connect us with, or they have the direct resource we need to speak with for any of the problems we face. If someone’s thinking about signing up for the coaching program, I would highly recommend that they call in for a free 30-minute coaching session and see exactly what the team can do for you. Just speak with someone, let them know what you’re going through, and I think you’ll find that, you know, regardless of what you need, there’s someone there that can help you. Clay’s presentation style is very real and raw. Like, it just gets real down to the bone of it and the real purpose of it. There’s no, like, fluffy vagueness about it, you know? So, he really gets to the point. I’m always reminded about how important it is to be intentional and to really pay attention to how you schedule your time and really honor it. Because whatever schedule gets done, that’s what he said from Lee Cockrell. So just constantly hearing that and getting reminded helps me to reinforce that in my own life. It always helps to get an outside perspective, and especially from a guy that’s run so many multi-billion dollar businesses. It doesn’t hurt. My name is Nick Guajardo. I heard about the Thrive Time Show workshop through Andy Mathren. He is my, Andy Mathren and Larry Montgomery. They’re my bosses at Restore Home Health. So I work with a home health company called Restore Home Health. And my role is pretty much to bring in business. So I was hoping to learn kind of the sales process on top of just kind of the responsibilities and help understand what it looks like on the SEO side and just kind of an all around what it looks like to own a business because that’s something I want to do in the future for sure. How I would describe the atmosphere here at Thrive is high energy, great professionalism, great people. It’s a place you definitely want to visit and yeah. Plays delivery style, humorous, professional, hilarious. I haven’t seen someone do it better, so he does a great job. Most valuable thing I’ve learned so far, a lot of it has been extremely valuable. So, but one thing that’s always really stuck out to me is the learning the SEO stuff. I mean that is I think things you don’t really even think about and then you hear it and you think you know it but you don’t know it. So I feel like that was the most valuable. Well they’re missing out on just come down to just basic applications to be a business owner. I mean I feel like it’s like an absolute necessity you know to come here and learn the ins and outs and maybe come here once or twice if they you know take good notes that kind of thing. Why? So just it’s the experience here and what you can learn like absolutely. So marketing and SEO seemed like something that would be very scary, but then in the way that Clay and his team described it, it became very clear and concise and something that’s very accessible to any business owner. I’ve learned a lot about marketing at this conference, and a lot about business management, and HR, really everything, the key components of anybody’s business, they’re going to give you the best tools to be successful at it. So most workshops or conferences can be really boring, really one note, or they just seem so theatrical that it’s a joke and it’s not even giving you the tools that you need or that you came there for. But here, it’s still high energy, it’s still fun, everything’s to the point, but it’s very professional and yeah, you’re missing out on easy steps to use in your business that are very accessible and very clear. My name is Abigail McCarter. The best thing I’ve learned so far is definitely organization, schedule-wise, always keeping a to-do list, keeping your calendar organized. I’m kind of all over the place, so that’s always good to know. So Clay’s presentation style and the atmosphere is electric. It’s so energetic, it’s so fun, plays hilarious, but also knows a ton, so it’s just really great all around. This conference is much different than any other conference I’ve gone to, again because it’s fun. A lot of other conferences, it’s like really quiet, really cold, and you just kind of get bored, but this one you’re like always engaged, you’re always learning something, and the staff is amazing, they’re always super helpful, so it’s just been really great. My name is Clint Howard, we’re a personal training and fitness training facility. Oh wow, I’m learning a ton. Like this morning so far has been searches and optimization, so really just the importance of being at the top of Google, how Google works, and why it’s so important to go out and get video reviews and testimonials and getting Google reviews, and just learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things, and I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. I’m learning a lot of new things. to go out and get video reviews, and testimonials, and getting Gimbal reviews. And so all those things we can take back and really apply that immediately. So it’s really cool to see, not only how to do it, but really the relevance and importance of a long-term strategy of your business. Now, it’s amazing, actually, the way in this morning, and yesterday, I was videoing as I was walking in the front entrance. And actually, me, I go to a lot of seminars. I go to a lot of conferences, massive ones. I’ve been doing that since I was like 22 years old, so gosh, almost 20 years now. And this is by far the most entertaining, not only the content, the content is amazing, but Clay and you guys do a great job of mixing in entertainment, entertainment where it’s fun, it’s fresh, it’s lively, get bored. I heard a study one time that the reason that children learn so much quicker is because it’s fun, learning is fun. So obviously, LA is still that, where it’s very fun to be here and keeps you awake, keeps you energized. So have a blast. Yeah, I think any business owner or someone that wants to own a business or considering owning and starting a business should definitely come. I know that I was referred here by friends of mine and clients of mine and I’ve referred other people. Again, just to understand what it takes to make a business successful, to have a good time, obviously, you know, like I was just saying, have fun, and network. There’s a lot of people here you can learn from and there’s a lot of breaks you can talk to other people. So I think this is a must-attend 3D-Bite and all the business that really wants to start in this business. My name’s Jamie Fagel. I’m with Jameson Fine Cabinetry. I heard about the conference through Andrew. He’s the coach that I deal with here at Thrive. The most valuable piece I found even working with Andrew, but it’s been solidified when it came here, was you got to actually do the things that they’re telling you. With no action, you’re not going to get anything from it. I would highly recommend this to almost anybody in business today. I have recommended to some of my other business partners. It’s phenomenal. It’s really something that if you want to start a business, the old way of doing things is gone. This is what you got to do. It’s the only way it will work. Hey, this is Charles and Amber Kola. We’re the owners of Kola Fitness. The way we’re able to do that is working with Clay for the last three years, he has really readjusted our thinking and taught us that our business is here to serve us. And by doing that, we’re able to live the lifestyle we want and take off on a random vacation last minute. We had totally planned on being at the conference. So wish we could be there and meet all of you. We know you’re having a great time. Yes, Clay in the last three years has helped us build all the necessary systems, checklists, workflows, task lists, time blocks, audits that are always running and the right capable lieutenants to keep track of all that so that you too can get time freedom, financial freedom, and that’s what we have done and Clay has helped us do. We’ve got multiple companies in multiple states and they’re all doing very well getting ready to go to more locations in this next year and Co-op Fitness has a really big future. We’re teaming up with a couple other groups and we should scale the company here shortly. Hopefully we’ll open like 50 locations in the next 10 years. So but yeah we’re on the way. We’re going to probably more than double our company. Maybe triple our company in the next eight to nine months. And it’s just awesome. God is working in our business. And we’re making Jesus and changing lives. We’re a strong Christian company that focuses on making Jesus famous and changing lives in the fitness field. And this is Charles and Hammer Cola. Thank you Thrive. Hit your action items. We love you guys. We wish you were there. You guys have a wonderful day. Bye-bye. My name is Jennifer Johnson. I’m in the pest control industry and also weed control fertilization. And my business is Platinum Pest and Lawn. Some of the things that, I’ll be able to apply a lot of the things that I’ve learned in our business because this is not my first conference. And so a lot of the things that we learned we’ve put into place. And now we’re doing the next level of refining the processes for just a different concept and so it’s getting better and better. Things that were just big processes before, we have the foundation laid and now we’re able to make it better and better. And I’m hearing different things now that we’ve implemented things and so we can just make it even better, implementing it in our own business. Clay’s presentation and the atmosphere is very exciting and fun. It keeps you awake. It makes it interesting. You have a lot of information, but if it’s not gonna be entertaining, your brain is gonna tune it out. But Play makes it just entertaining enough that you retain what you learn. Lots of rhyming and catchy things so that you remember stuff. What makes this conference different than other workshops or conferences that I’ve been to is that there’s a lot of people here in my safe situation. Most of us are pretty small businesses wanting to improve. And we want real life information and something that will work and that’s attainable. And not just some crazy magic formula, but actual action items that we can implement in our business and actually see a difference. Everyone should attend a drive type business conference, whether you’re a business owner or not. A, if you’re a business owner, it has practical applications that you can apply to so many different parts of your business. And then you need to come back for more so that you can keep doing more of the wonderful things that you learn. But secondly, I am also a mom of three kids, and a lot of the concepts can actually be applied to home, like getting routines and setting systems at home has just seriously made a huge difference in my life at home. So I’ve been able to improve our business, but I’ve also been able to improve things at home. And so that’s why everyone should come, no matter what your station is in life. My name is Nolan Q. I’m originally from San Francisco, California. The industry that I’m in is financial services. I’ve learned a ton so far, but what I can best apply from this conference is the opportunity, that hunger to go out there and make a big difference in my industry. Clay’s presentation style is amazing. He’s got an endless amount of energy. It’s contagious. And yeah, by being here, I really do want to go back and be able to face all the adversity that the industry has. Yeah, this conference, the thing that makes it different is that it’s special because it has a unique set of individuals that all share that same energy. I think he picked it as a dragon energy, but yeah, that’s… Everyone should come to a multiple, but their first would be very special. Yeah, you’re welcome with a lot of enthusiasm. That’ll last for a long time. My name is Gabriella Bruce. Our business is PCS Electric. My husband’s the owner, but I’m involved with that, so we’re an electric company. Well, here at the conference they talk a lot about consistency, and so just staying consistent with different things in the business. I feel like applying that to our business model will really help us grow. I think it’s very positive, uplifting, and it’s very fun and energetic. And so it gets you pumped and it gets you excited and it encourages you to do big things. I probably like how real they are. They tell you up front what you need to do and what’s like a no-go. And so conferences are, they kind of trigger code things, so I like how real they are here. I think it’ll definitely, if you want your business to grow, I think this will be a great experience. And then not only that, it’ll encourage you and inform you on so many things you don’t think about on a daily basis. Hey, I’m Ryan Wimpey. I’m originally from Tulsa, born and raised here. I’ve definitely learned a lot about life design and making sure the business serves you. The linear workflow, the linear workflow for us in getting everything out on paper and documented is really important. 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. Play is hilarious. I literally laughed so hard that I started having tears yesterday. And we’ve been learning a lot and so the humor definitely definitely helps it breaks it up But the content is awesome off the charts, and it’s very interactive you can raise your hand. It’s not like you’re just listening to the Professor speak you know the wizard teaches with the wizard interaction it takes questions So that’s awesome if you’re not attending the conference you’re missing about three quarters to half of your life you’re definitely definitely It’s it’s probably worth a couple thousand dollars so You’re missing The thought process of someone that’s already started like nine profitable businesses So not only is it a lot of good information, but just getting in the thought process of Clay Clark or dr Zellner or any of the other coaches getting in the thought process of how they’re starting all these businesses To me just that is it’s priceless. That’s money. Well, we’re definitely not getting upsold here. My wife and I have attended conferences where they upsold us. It was great information, and then they upsold us like half the conference. I don’t want to bang my head into a wall. And she’s banging her head into the chair in front of her. It’s good information, but we’re like, oh my gosh, I want to strangle you. Shut up and go with the presentation that we paid for. And that’s not here. There’s no upsells or anything, so that’s awesome. I hate that. Oh, it makes me angry. So, glad that’s not happening. So the cost of this conference is quite a bit cheaper than business college. 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’m not 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. I would definitely recommend that people would check out the Thrive 15 conference. It’s the information that you’re going to get is just very very beneficial and the mindset that you’re going to get that you’re going to leave with is just absolutely worth the price of a little bit of money and a few days worth of your time. I’m Rachel with Tip Top K9 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. This is where we used to live a few years ago. This is our old neighborhood. 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 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 ten 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. Hello, my name is Charles Colaw with Colaw Fitness. Today I want to tell you a little bit about Clay Clark and how I know Clay Clark. Clay Clark has been my business coach since 2017. He’s helped us grow from two locations to now six locations. We’re planning to do seven locations in seven years and then franchise. And Clay has done a great job of helping us navigate anything that has to do with like running the business, building the systems, the checklists, the workflows, the audits, how to navigate lease agreements, how to buy property, how to work with brokers and builders. This guy is just amazing. This kind of guy has worked in every single industry. He’s written books with Lee Crockrell, head of Disney with the 40,000 cast members. He’s friends with Mike Lindell. He does Reawaken America tours where he does these tours all across the country where 10,000 or more people show up to some of these tours. On the day-to-day, he does anywhere from about 160 companies. He’s at the top, he has a team of business coaches, videographers, and graphic designers, and web developers, and they run 160 companies every single week. So think of this guy with a team of business coaches running 160 companies. So in the weekly, he’s running 160 companies. Every six to eight weeks, he’s doing Reawaken America tours. Every six to eight weeks he’s also doing business conferences where 200 people show up and he teaches people a 13 step proven system that he’s done and worked with billionaires helping them grow their companies. So I’ve seen guys from startups go from startup to being multi-millionaires teaching people how to get time freedom and financial freedom through the system. Critical thinking, document creation, making it, putting it into, organizing everything in their head to building it into a franchisable, scalable business. Like one of his businesses has like 500 franchises. That’s just one of the companies or brands that he works with. So amazing guy, Elon Musk, kind of like smart guy. He kind of comes off sometimes as socially awkward, but he’s so brilliant and he’s taught me so much. When I say that, like Clay is like, he doesn’t care what people think when you’re talking to him. He cares about where you’re going in your life and where he can get you to go. That’s what I like him most about him. He’s like a good coach. A coach isn’t just making you feel good all the time. A coach is actually helping you get to the best you. Clay has been an amazing business coach. Through the course of that, we became friends. My most impressive thing was when I was shadowing him one time. We went into a business deal and listened to it. I got to shadow and listen to it. When we walked out, I knew that he could make millions on the deal and they were super excited about working with him. He told me, he’s like, I’m not going to touch it. I’m going to turn it down because he knew it was going to harm the common good of people in the long run. The guy’s integrity just really wowed me. It brought tears to my eyes to see that this guy, his highest desire was to do what’s right. And anyways, just an amazing man. So anyways, impacted me a lot. He’s helped navigate any time I’ve gotten nervous or worried about how to run the company or navigating competition and an economy that’s like, I remember we got closed down for three months. He helped us navigate on how to stay open, how to get back open, how to just survive through all the COVID shutdowns, lockdowns, because our clubs were all closed for three months and you have three hundred fifty thousand dollars of bills you’ve got to pay and We have no accounts receivable He helped us navigate that And of course we were conservative enough that we could afford to take that on for a period of time But it was anyways great man. I’m very impressed with him. So clay. Thank you for everything you’re doing and I encourage you if you haven’t ever worked with Clay, work with Clay, he’s gonna help magnify you. And there’s nobody I have ever met that has the ability to work as hard as he does. He probably sleeps four, maybe six hours a day, and literally the rest of the time he’s working. And he can outwork everybody in the room every single day. And he loves it. So anyways, this is Charles Kola with Kola Fitness. Thank you, Clay. And anybody out there that’s wanting to work with Clay, it’s a great, great opportunity to ever work with him. So you guys have a blessed one. This is Charles Kola. We’ll see you guys. Bye bye. Hi, I’m Aaron Antis with Shaw Homes. I first heard about Clay through a mortgage lender here in town who had told me what a great job he had been doing for them and I actually noticed he was driving a Lamborghini all of a sudden so I was willing to listen. In my career, I’ve sold a little over $800 million in real estate. So honestly, I thought I kind of knew everything about marketing and homes. And then I met Clay, and my perception of what I knew and what I could do definitely changed. doing 800 million in sales over a 15 year career, I really thought I knew what I was doing. I’ve been managing a large team of salespeople for the last 10 years here with Shaw Homes and I mean we’ve been a company that’s been in business for 35 years. We’ve become one of the largest builders in the Tulsa area and that was without Clay. So when I came to know Clay, I really thought, man, there’s not much more I need to know, but I’m willing to listen. The interesting thing is our internet leads from our website has actually in a four-month period of time has gone from somewhere around 10 to 15 leads in a month to 180 internet leads in a month. Just from the few things that he’s shown us how to implement that I honestly probably never would have come up with on my own. So I got a lot of good things to say about the system that Clay put in place with us and it’s just been an incredible experience. I am very glad that we met and had the opportunity to work with Clay. So the interaction with the team and with Clay on a weekly basis is honestly very enlightening. One of the things that I love about Clay’s perspective on things is that he doesn’t come from my industry. He’s not somebody who’s in the home building industry. I’ve listened to all the experts in my field. Our company has paid for me to go to seminars, international builder shows, all kinds of places where I’ve had the opportunity to learn from the experts in my industry. But the thing that I found working with Clay is that he comes from such a broad spectrum of working with so many different types of businesses that he has a perspective that’s difficult for me to gain because I get so entrenched in what I do, I’m not paying attention to what other leading industry experts are doing and Clay really brings that perspective for me. It is very valuable time every week when I get that hour with him. From my perspective the reason that any business owner who’s thinking about hooking up with Thrive needs to definitely consider it is because the results that we’ve gotten in a very short period of time are honestly monumental. It has really exceeded my wildest expectation of what he might be able to do. I came in skeptical because I’m very pragmatic and as I’ve gone through the process over just a few months I’ve realized it’s probably one of the best moves we’ve ever made. I think a lot of people probably feel like they don’t need a business or marketing consultant because they maybe are a little bit prideful and like to think they know everything. I know that’s how I felt coming in. I mean, we’re a big company that’s definitely one of the largest in town. And so we kind of felt like we knew what we were doing. And I think for a lot of people, they let their ego get in the way of listening to somebody that might have a better or different perspective than theirs. I would just really encourage you if you’re thinking about working with Clay. I mean, the thing is, it’s month to month. Go give it a try and see what happens. I think in the 35-year history of Shaw Homes, this is probably the best thing that’s happened to us, and I know if you give them a shot, I think you’ll feel the same way. I know for me, the thing I would have missed out on if I didn’t work with Clay is I would have missed out on literally an 1800% increase in our internet leads. Going from 10 a month to 180 a month, that would have been a huge financial decision to just decide not to give it a shot. I would absolutely recommend Clay Clark to anybody who’s thinking about working with somebody in marketing. I would skip over anybody else you were thinking about, and I would go straight to Clay and his team. I guarantee you’re not going to regret it, because we sure haven’t. My name is Danielle Sprick, and I am the founder of D. Sprick Realty Group here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After being a stay-at-home mom for 12 years and my three kids started school and they were in school full-time, I was at a crossroads and trying to decide what do I want to do. My degree and my background is in education, but after being a mom and staying home and all of that, I just didn’t have a passion for it like I once did. My husband suggested real estate. He’s a home builder, so real estate and home building go hand in hand, and we just rolled with it. I love people, I love working with people, I love building relationships, but one thing that was really difficult for me was the business side of things. The processes and the advertising and marketing, I knew that I did not have what I needed to make that what it should be. So I reached out to Clay at that time, and he and his team have been extremely instrumental in helping us build our brand, help market our business, our agents, the homes that we represent. Everything that we do is a direct line from Clay and his team and all that they’ve done for us. We launched our brokerage, our real estate brokerage, eight months ago. And in that time, we’ve gone from myself and one other agent to just this week we signed on our 16th agent. We have been blessed with the fact that we right now have just over 10 million in pending transactions. Three years ago, I never would have even imagined that I would be in this role that I’m in today, building a business, having 16 agents. But I have to give credit where credit’s due. And Clay and his team and the business coaching that they’ve offered us has been huge. It’s been instrumental in what we’re doing. Don’t ever limit your vision. When you dream big, big things happen. I started a business because I couldn’t work for anyone else. I do things my way. I do what I think is in the best interest of the patient. I don’t answer insurance companies. I don’t answer to large corporate organizations. I answer to my patient and that’s it. My thought when I opened my clinic was I can do this all myself. I don’t need additional outside help in many ways. I mean, I went to medical school. I can figure this out. But it was a very, very steep learning curve. Within the first six months of opening my clinic, I had a $63,000 embezzlement. I lost multiple employees. Clay helped us weather the storm of some of the things that are just a lot of people experience, especially in the medical world. He was instrumental in helping with the specific written business plan. He’s been instrumental in hiring good quality employees, using the processes that he outlines for getting in good talent, which is extremely difficult. He helped me in securing the business loans. He helped me with web development and search engine optimization. We’ve been able to really keep a steady stream of clients coming in because they found us on the web. With everything that I encountered, everything that I experienced, I quickly learned it is worth every penny to have someone in your team that can walk you through and even avoid some of the pitfalls that are almost invariable in starting your own business. I’m Dr. Chad Edwards and I own Revolution Health and Wellness Clinic. People are going crazy. Michael Levy, writer of many, many PR books, a man who represents people like Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, George Bush, he is standing behind me speaking to people here at our conference, talking about branding. One of the greatest branding experts alive today is here at our conference talking to entrepreneurs. We just wrapped up day one. It was incredible. We had some remarkable speakers. Michael Levine. We just finished with a lady named Jill Donovan who owns a company called Rustic Cuff talking about the power of the Dream 100. I cannot wait to see what tomorrow holds. Hey guys, Luke Erickson with the Thrive Time Show here with you. It is day two and the energy is high. People are so excited to be showing up. The team is ready. Come on, let’s see what it’s like to go on in for day two. Follow me. I’ll tell you what, people are so excited to be here for day two. It is going to be incredible. Cannot wait to see what today has in store. Right now, here at the conference, we’ve broken into groups going over search engine optimization. I know for most of us, myself included, if you hear that term, you go, what is that? What does that mean? That’s too techy for me. Well, our experts are breaking it down for people so that you can clearly understand how to come up top in Google. It’s doable. It’s possible. Now we’re in the middle of a break. And what we like to do is we like to give you as much tangible and relevant information from about the start of the hour for 45 minutes. Then we take approximately a 15 minute break to allow people to connect with other entrepreneurs around them. Bathroom break. And also use this time to just really digest all of the good information that you’re receiving the whole time. Right behind me we’ve got Bob with his grill gun melting an ice sculpture. It is awesome. The ice sculpture represents our life, right? It’s here for a time, but we all need to have the sense of urgency to implement the things that we’re learning so that we can make the most of the time that we have. We are outside, you can see a line behind me. What’s going on is that we partner with different companies to help them implement the proven systems over and over and over again. One of those companies is Master Machine. What we like to do is partner with these companies to also help them give samples to other people as they come to the conference and truly get their name out. I just wanted to recap some of the amazing things that have happened today. We’ve had entrepreneurs like Paul Hood with Hood CPAs. We’ve had Jill Donovan and Michael Levine come up and just impart so much wisdom and knowledge. We’ve got an incredible giveaway for one of our teamies.

One of the things that we love most about our business conferences is that we want every entrepreneur to leave with their questions answered. So what we do is we let them put the questions up on the board here so that they can ask their specific questions and Clay will not end the conference until every question is answered. Behind us Clay Kilar is answering all the different questions that on hold are brought to the conference. Whenever someone comes here and starts to hear this information, especially for the first time, it just brings about so much anticipation of wanting to actually implement the proven systems and processes. And so Clay always wants to make sure that he answers all of those questions so that they are the most set up for success to be able to go home and start implementing. If you have any questions, email us at info at thrivetimeshare.com We have come to the end of the 2019 Christmas Conference. It was incredible. These entrepreneurs have gotten so many tangible things that they can go and they can implement. Check us out for more information at thrive timeshow.com and as we always like to do we want to end with the boom. Three, two, one, boom! 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, alive the whole time. It’s not pushy, it’ll 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 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. Biggest takeaways are, you know, you want to take a step-by-step approach to your business. Whether it’s marketing, you know, 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 will be answered. This conference motivates me 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. 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 motivates 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. If you decide to not attend the Privetime Workshop, you’re missing out on a great opportunity. The Atmosphere plays offense 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. 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 more in the last two days than I have the entire four years of college. The most valuable thing that 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 has completely eliminated that, because you’re able to really find the people that would really be the best fit. It depends 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 is real critical if I’m going to 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 needs to attend the conference because you get the opportunity to see that it’s real.
