Clay Clark Client Success Story | “It’s Been a Blessing. The Business Trajectory Is Growing! If We Hadn’t Scheduled That Assessment With You We Wouldn’t Be Where We Are Today.” – Jason Conrad of www.CrowsnestNursery.com

Audio Transcription

It’s been a huge difference. All the leads that we’ve been getting, many times, the people that when I’m talking to them on the phone, they’re actually looking at our website and they’re being, they say, wow, this is exactly what we’re looking for. And we just didn’t have that before. And so, it’s been really neat, literally hearing them on the phone, you know, looking at our product and being impressed by it. So, it’s been a huge difference. Coaching with you has been a process. And it’s basically, you know, how do you eat an elephant one bite at a time. And so, we’re basically taking, you know, a little bit each week. Oh, it’s huge. It’s like we’ve got another employee on the business working on our behalf. I mean, because of you guys, we’ve, we’re in a much better position than we were last year. And it’s kind of, I mean, it’s like having an accountability partner. Carter giving me assignments to work on. I mean, if he wasn’t doing it, I probably wouldn’t be doing it myself. It’s just such a neat thing knowing that kind of before we were kind of wandering aimlessly just waiting for business to come in, but now I feel like there’s a direction and a purpose. You know, we have goals that we’re trying to reach. And so that weekly meeting, it’s basically like accountability.

Folks on today’s show, I’m super excited to interview a man who some of you may think this man must be a male model, but no, this man is a real client. He’s not a hologram. He’s a real man. Jason, welcome onto the Thrive Time Show. How are you, sir?

I’m doing great, Clay. Thanks for having me.

So for people who want to verify you’re a real person, what’s your first and last name and what’s the name of your company?

Well, my name’s Jason Conard and our company, family business, is called Crow’s Nest Nursery. We grow boxwoods.

Now I’m going to pull up this website here so we can all make sure we’re on the same page. It’s crowsnestnursery.com. That’s the website. crowsnestnursery.com. I would say half of our listeners don’t know what a boxwood is. Half of them do. Educate us. What is a boxwood and how did you get involved in the boxwood industry?

Well I always debate when I say boxwood. Some people know exactly what I’m talking about and other people don’t have a clue. But basically it’s a bush, it’s a fancy bush or shrub and it’s used, turns out it’s used in pretty high end landscaping. We live in the mountains of North Carolina and people here despise them. They hate them. But when you get into big cities, they’re used for very expensive landscaping jobs. In fact, in June, when I was at your conference this year, did you know that you have boxwoods woods in your landscape.

So why do people hate these boxwoods where they’re natively growing and why do they like them? Because we do have boxwoods on our property. Why do people hate them where they’re native and then they love them where they’re not native?

What’s going on with that?

I just, I guess the people around here just don’t see the potential in them. They haven’t seen them used in a tasteful way. Perhaps they are a symbol of a lot of hard work, which is what is required to harvest them or to I’m not exactly sure why, but when you do see some of the landscapes that they’re put in, it’s beautiful. Your landscape is beautiful, Clay. It’s always evolving, so I appreciate you. We’re always adding to it. Now, I’ve got to ask you this here.

My understanding is in the last six months we’ve been able to work with you, it looks as though the amount of inbound leads or the inquiries about the products and services that you sell has gone up quite a bit. Could you maybe talk about that or what kind of growth you’ve seen in terms of the inbound inquiries?

Sure.

Well, it’s been on a slow decline. There’s been a boxwood blight that has come to the United States and we’ve been hit with it. And just over the last couple of years, we’ve been fighting it, but also we’ve lost some customers, our business has been down, and we weren’t gaining any customers. I just knew that we needed to do something to build our business back. And so, basically, if we hadn’t brought you on board, we would be worse off right now than we were this time last year.

So I don’t know.

So let’s talk about this for a second, because there’s a lot of things that we’re working on together and I want to unpack this for our listeners out there and hopefully encourage an entrepreneur out there that maybe feels a little stuck with their business. First off, in order to help you gain new inquiries and new customers, we’ve had to optimize the website. Can you talk about what that process has been like working with Carter and our team?

Well, to optimize a website, you have to have a website. And we didn’t even have one when we started with you. And so, we hit the ground. Carter was just, he moves 100 miles an hour faster than I can think. And so, the first few meetings, I was overwhelmed with just getting everything, but basically we built a website. And not only did we not have a website, basically our business was strictly word of mouth, and we never documented anything. We didn’t have, like, photos or videos of our product that we could share to anybody. And so we built the website and now instead of not documenting anything, basically when I am at a job site, half the time is taking pictures, half the time is tracking down people to give a video testimonial and it has paid off. It’s something that basically, well, the Bible talks about sowing and reaping and all this work that has been going on the last six months, a lot of it’s been sowing seed and here in the last few weeks, in the last couple of months, we’ve really started to

reap the benefits of that. So step one, for everybody else, if you’re out there watching today, again, I would ask you to rate your website on a scale of one to ten. Ten if it’s great, zero if it’s non-existent. And if you feel stuck, that’s what we do. You know, great people like Jason, you have a great product, but if the world can’t find you, it’s very, very hard for them to pay you. And this just in, folks, most people don’t wake up with a burning desire to pay you, even the people that love you. And so you’ve got to get into the marketplace and get in front of your ideal and likely buyers. Now, step two is once we built that website, we had to gather what I call proof statements, or you might call it the law of credibility, proof statements, proof that you do what you say you do, or you can do what you do. We had to gather objective reviews from real customers. You had to gather objective video reviews and video testimonials from real customers. I work with surgeons, doctors, dentists, lawyers, home builders, manufacturers, automotive repair shops, landscapers, interior designers, bridal stores, photography companies, and everybody has to gather objective video reviews from real customers. Can you talk about that? What kind of impact has that made on your business, gathering objective video reviews?

It’s been a huge difference. All the leads that we’ve been getting, many times the people that when I’m talking to them on the phone, they’re actually looking at our website and they’re being, they say, wow, this is exactly what we’re looking for. And we just didn’t have that before. And so, it’s been really neat, literally hearing them on the phone, looking at our product, and being impressed by it. So it’s been a huge difference.

Now back to the biblical reference, Genesis chapter 2 verse 15. In the Bible, it references that God gave Adam the garden to work it. So let me read this to you folks. It says, this is from the Bible, it says, and the Lord took the man and put him in the garden to dress it and to keep it. Now the Hebrew word for work means worship, and the Hebrew word for worship means work. And so it’s work as unto the Lord. I know a lot of people consider praise and worship as something they only do on Sundays. I’m talking about the way you work is the way you worship, and the way you worship is the way you work. And so you have a diligent work ethic. But again, if people can’t find you, all of that doesn’t matter in the current world that we live in. And so, step one, it’s not an event, it’s a series of processes. So step one, we have to optimize that website. Okay, done. Step two, we have to gather objective reviews. Every day, every day. Every day that you don’t hate your wallet, you have to do it. Step three, you have to gather objective Google reviews, which are different from video reviews. Can you talk about that process of gathering objective Google reviews? For a guy like you who’s been in business for a long time and Didn’t know you needed to do that. Can you talk about the process of gathering objective Google reviews from real customers?

Yeah, I mean it’s it’s it’s again, it’s made a big difference because well, that’s well, two of our main leads found us on Google in fact the We’ve never done business in Birmingham, Alabama, but we just got a call from Birmingham. Guy found us on Google and saw the reviews, saw the business profile and thought that we would, you know, have what he was looking for. And so, if it weren’t for those Google reviews, that wouldn’t have happened. It is, it’s a little awkward, you know, for someone who’s never done it, you know, trying, I mean, basically promoting yourself and asking people to, you know, give a review of you. It is, it takes a, I don’t know, a step of faith or just stretching you beyond what you’re comfortable with. But once you start to do it, it’s so, it’s a great, it’s almost like a rush once you get a good review or a good testimony.

Now the next thing we had to do is once the phone starts ringing, so again we’re just recapping these folks, everybody out there, on a scale of one to ten, I ask you, ten, is your website a ten? Is it awesome? Is it great? Does it wow the customers? Zero, is it non-existent? If you need to improve it, don’t get overwhelmed, just do it. Step number two, we’ve got to gather objective video reviews from real customers. Step three, we have to gather objective Google reviews from real customers. Step four, the phone’s going to ring. The people are going to fill out the website form. They’re going to reach out to you. The inquiries, the leads are going to come in. And when that happens, you have to have a call script or a call system, a call process. Can you talk about the importance of implementing the call scripts? Because so many entrepreneurs don’t have a script, don’t have a system, and they end up just saying the first thing that comes to their mind. They end up just giving somebody a flippant quote over the phone. They end up not setting appointments. They kind of fumble with their words. They don’t have a real strategy, and they don’t really even get fruit once they start getting leads. Can you talk about the importance of having a call script?

This whole coaching with you has been a process. It’s basically how do you eat an elephant one bite at a time. We’re basically taking a little bit each week, and so the whole call script is something that I have to work on myself. But so all that to say, I don’t have a script yet, Clay.

But you’re working on it, right?

You’re working on it, correct? That’s right.

Okay.

I think Carter basically, he gives me basically a to-do list or a homework list and that’s what keeps me motivated and something to work on. And so, but it’s working with you, I mean, it’s so overwhelming if I try to do it in one fell swoop and so it just has to be in a way has to be done over time.

So now next again there’s so much here I want to break this down I want to give everybody out there a glimmer of hope based upon knowing what to do real stuff here. So the next thing we’ve worked with you on or we are working with you on is installing an outbound call script where you’re calling people that you currently are not doing business with and trying to share with them about the services that you provide. So let me just give people a handful of examples. Years ago I worked with a cosmetic dentist, and I said, hey, you need to reach out to other dentists that don’t offer cosmetic dentistry, and you need to say, hey, I offer cosmetic dentistry. If you can refer me, it’d be great, and if I know of patients that need pediatric dentistry, I’ll refer them to you. And this dentist, all the degrees, all the success, all the whatever that is with a dentist. He’s going, calling someone? Like I gotta call people I don’t know? Years ago I was working with a recruiter, a good guy, he’s a staffing company. All the degrees, all the background, all the whatever that is, right? And he says, you want me to cold call hospitals and ask them to refer me whenever they’re what? I go, well you’re a staffing company and the hospital certainly isn’t going to call you for their staffing needs unless you call them. And he’s going, ooh, ooh, call them? You want me to call them? Another example, I worked with a musician, I won’t mention his name, but he’s a very famous musician. And I said, hey, you need to reach out to the songwriters you want to write with. If you want to sit in studio with these songwriters, if you want to work on a session in a studio in an LA studio in a Nashville studio with the world’s top songwriters you have to call them and he’s going me? Call them? This is the guy with all the awards all the accolades all the downloads all the you know award shows he’s been on all the top 40 songs and he’s going you want me to call people I don’t know because what happens is eventually your natural market will dry up if you don’t reach out to people that you don’t know and tell them about the solutions that you provide? Can you talk about that? Have you started that process yet?

Well, that’s been one of the benefits of working or getting to talk with Carter each week is actually I’m learning by getting to hear him make cold calls. So you guys have actually been making cold calls for us. We’ve already landed one job because of that. And so just getting to hear and experience that has made a huge difference. I did make, before I started the business coaching with you, I was, I did reach out, making some cold calls. It was pretty bad and pretty awkward. But I mean, it’s been such a blessing to work with Carter and he’s pretty amazing. And so hopefully I can become as good as he is.

Now this next area I want to focus in on is gathering a gallery of your work. So many people, automotive repair shops, home builders, dentists, doctors, lawyers, professional sports teams I work with, they don’t have a gallery. When I start and I say, you don’t have a gallery? And they go, I don’t have a gallery. So let me just give you an example, folks. If you go to Thrivetimeshow.com, this is sort of my dojo of mojo, and usually once a day, twice a day, someone will shoot me a text and go, dude, I was looking at your gallery, I didn’t realize you’ve been doing business coaching for 20 years. And I say, yeah. They go, you’ve been doing this for 20 years? The same thing? I’m going, actually, yeah, this is my 20th year. And they go, man, I was going through your gallery, and I went through and I saw, you’ve had John Rich, the country singer, perform at your events, or you’ve had Kash Patel at your events?” And I say, yeah, and they go, man, that’s awesome. Or they’ll go through and they’ll say, you know, I didn’t know Tim Tebow’s come to your event or I didn’t know that you’ve done… And again, it’s household names and it’s not household names. Some people say, well, I had no idea you’re working with this household name. And for certain people, working with a household name is an impressive thing. Other people, they want to see, have you worked with real clients that are not big household names? Have you worked with normal people like myself? And just having a gallery really does help. And we go back to your website here, crowesnestnursery.com. Having a gallery of your work really does help people understand what you do, how it works, the process. Talk to me about the process of building the gallery. What are your thoughts on building the gallery so far, or how has that impacted the way you’re doing business?

Oh, having the gallery has been huge. It’s spoken, you know, for us. I wish we would have done it years ago because some of the plants we’ve moved and some of the landscapes that they’ve been put in have just been amazing, but we have nothing to show for really until June of this year I’ve been you know taking videos taking pictures and it’s already led to sales there’s a we’re trying most of our business is in Atlanta Georgia we’re working on getting into Nashville spoke with a lady in Nashville, she was scrolling through the website and just was like, wow, this is actually this lady I was talking to, she wanted me to send over our business license, our nursery license. After she got on the website and saw the picture, she was like, oh, don’t worry about that. I see what you guys have. I know you’re legit. And so that was a pretty neat conversation.

Now the next thing I want to talk about is, you know, we work with you every week. We have a weekly meeting every single week. It’s the same meeting at the same time. And the purpose of, you know, the reason why I only work with 160 clients is that if a guy like you has a burning fire, true story this morning, I’m talking to a wonderful man, wonderful man. If I mentioned his name, everybody would know who he is. He’s one of our clients who’s now become a very famous person. And he had a problem with his website. And he said, hey, I need to update this on my website today. And he knows that, A, he can call me whenever he wants, because he’s one of our 160 clients. He knows that, B, it’s a flat rate. So I’m not going to charge him every time we make an update, every time he has a question. And three, he knows that I’m committed to his success, because it’s month to month. And I want to get your thoughts on this. Even though our average client is with us for six years or longer, how does it impact you knowing that you have a flat rate is what you’re being charged, and you have a team of photographers, videographers, web developers, our whole team now supporting you?

Oh, it’s huge. It’s like we’ve got another employee on the business working on our behalf. I mean, because of you guys, we’ve, we’re in a much better position than we were last year. And it’s kind of, I mean, it’s like having an accountability partner. You know, Carter giving me assignments to work on. I mean, if he wasn’t doing it myself. You know, it’s just such a neat thing knowing that kind of before we were kind of wandering aimlessly, just waiting for business to come in. But now I feel like there’s a direction and a purpose. You know, we have goals that we’re trying to reach. And so that weekly meeting, it’s like basically like accountability it’s not a lot of our

clients tell me that having that weekly schedule it gives them a kind of a rock in their schedule or it gives them a deadline to push towards could you talk about the importance of having that weekly coaching meeting like does it does it create a sense of urgency for you or you said accountability or just through that?

Oh, yeah.

I mean, it’s very neat to have, you know, knowing that Carter is working with us, but also it’s like I don’t want to let him down. I don’t want to show up to the meeting without, you know, having testimonials or, you know, the photos or, and so it’s just, yeah, it’s just been a blessing having him and I mean I think the business trajectory is growing because of that weekly meeting.

Final two questions I have for you. There’s somebody out there that says, Clay, you know, the thing I, I mean I talked to a guy the other day, true story, he said he’d been listening to our show for nine years. And I said, you’ve been listening to our show for nine years? He goes, brother, I’m like one of your original OG listeners. And he said, I’ve been listening for nine years. I said, well, I’ve been doing the show for over 10 years. He said, I’m telling you, I think I was like a very early adopter. And he says, but I just had never requested a conference ticket. And I had never scheduled a free 13 point assessment. And I said, why? He goes, well, every one of these Get Rich conference things I’ve ever gone to, they spend the whole day upselling you a bunch of crap. They’re always trying to get you to prepay $36,000 or sign some two-year agreement for $5,000 a month, or they’re always trying to get you and rope you in. And he said, I come into that last workshop with Thibaut, man, that was awesome. He’s like, I don’t know why I didn’t do that. He’s like, for 10 years I’ve been listening to your show, hearing the podcast that you’re streaming, watching the broadcast, the workshops. He’s like, I just wish I would have done that earlier. I don’t want to get your thoughts out there. For anybody who’s thinking about scheduling a free 13-point assessment, which is what I do, that’s where it all starts, is a free 13-point assessment. Could you share? For anybody out there that’s thinking about scheduling a free 13-point assessment, what advice or what thoughts would you have?

Yeah. I would just say to look at me or our business, if we hadn’t scheduled that assessment and started business with you, we wouldn’t be where we’re at today. We’re, you know, up 10 percent more than we were last year. If we hadn’t done business with you, we would probably be worse off. And so, it goes back to the sowing and reaping. You got to sow seed. And if you don’t sow, if you don’t do something, you’re not going to reap anything. that assessment and bring you guys on. We’re definitely reaping the benefits today because of it.

Now, not to paint you into a corner, but my final question is this here. If you had to, you’re stuck in an elevator with somebody, and they go, okay, the exercise is this. You’re stuck in an elevator, and you’ve got 30 seconds to explain to somebody the impact of the Thrive Time Show business coaching, the impact it’s made on you? You got 30 seconds to explain what kind of an impact it’s made on you and your business. My friend, what say you?

Well, the impact, I’m not sure if you would see this coming but just the whole work ethic that you talked about and Exemplify has impacted me. I’m working harder, longer now, putting more into the business than I ever would have thought. That’s because of you. And then, well, also, it’s, I think it’s a Thomas Jefferson quote that I think he said, to paraphrase, I believe in luck, but the harder that I work, the more it happens to me. And so just being a part of you and your coaching has helped me to work harder, but we’re getting more fortunate every day. I’ll sneak in one little bonus question.

If people want to buy something from you, who can buy something from you and what can you sell them? So, everybody’s watching right now. We have a lot of listeners. We have about a million listeners a week. So, some people are in Oklahoma, some are in Washington State, some are in North Carolina. Who can buy something from you and what kind of solutions can you sell our listeners?

Well, we’re located in Western North Carolina. We’ve done business all up and down the Eastern Seaboard. So, anybody can buy us, just go to crowsnestnursery.com. If you’re in California, give us a call. We may entertain the idea if the price is right. Hey, Jason, thank you so much for your time. I really do appreciate it.

It’s an honor to serve you and help you grow. And I can’t wait to see you, hopefully at an in-person workshop there in the not so distant future.

Thank you, Clay. I appreciate it.

Take care, brother. Have a great day. Bye-bye.

All right. Merry Christmas.

You too. Bye-bye.

Hey, how’s it going? I’m Thomas Crossen, owner and founder of Full Package Media in Dallas, Texas. I’ve been a coaching client with Clay Clark since the beginning of our business. We started about a year ago, August of last year. I had no clients, no idea what we were doing, no clue really what was going on. And now we’ve grown to where we’ve got six photographers, we’ve got office space here. I have an admin and sales person that works for us full time, developing an online system. And a lot of that growth we attribute to Clay helping us. And there’s so many things that, no, I mean this stuff is not, you know, revolutionary. It’s not this crazy walk on hot coals and all this stuff. It’s just real, real stuff and like group interviews, we were totally against group interviews. We were like, no, we’re different and we’re special and we need to, you know, do one-on-one interviews so we can find good quality candidates and not just kind of do this group interview thing. And we tried that and failed miserably. We did group interviews, now we do them every two weeks and it’s awesome, it works good. We always have kind of an influx of new people that we can train, get going. He’s helped us a lot with our website, graphic design, SEO. SEO is another thing that I thought before I started this business and before Clay, that it was kind of a joke or something that only your apples of the world and Amazon could get to the top of Google. But Clay said, no, just do these things, follow these steps, and you’ll get there. I think now we’ve looked today, and we’re number two for Dallas Real Estate Photography. If you don’t believe me, you can look. So we’re getting to the top of there. That’s really cool. It’s really awesome to get leads that people call you and say, hey, I found you on Google. We want to hear about your services. So that’s really great. I’d say there’s nobody out there that’s not a good coaching client for Clay. I mean, regardless of the business, it’s not about what the business is, what the specialty is, it’s about following the steps, doing what he says. You know, it’s a good thing. An hour a week, it gets you on track and keeps you in line of what you’re doing and what you shouldn’t be doing. It’s good to give you some flow and future goals of your business. I remember our first meeting, we set our goals and our goal was to do 16 shoots a week. At the time, me and my business partner slash girlfriend, Gretchen, were like, we’re never going to do 16 a week that’s just like crazy and today we’re doing nine and we did about 54 last week so he’s helped us grow you know we put in a lot of hours a lot of hard work as well but if you follow his steps and do what he says there’s a lot of principles that he’s kind of taught and that help us so yeah, Clay Clark is the way to go. I wouldn’t venture out to find someone else. They’d be more expensive and a lot more fluff and no real action board work and things to get your business growing. So that’s the way to go. Thanks. Jimmy!

You smell like a winner!

You are a suck!

You are a suck! Jimmy!

You are not USA!

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 and 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

for this week.

What?

What?

Michael, can you put me in this?

I just want to get a picture.

Jason, can you kind of pull this in, maybe?

So you can see it.

Kind of pull it that way.

Get the link. It’s more of a link.

I can’t tell without the link.

I baked from home for years as I was raising my children and teaching, and it was there that people continually said year after year, Kat, you really need to go into business. You should open a bakery. And I’m thinking, I don’t have time to open a bakery. I’m raising two kids. I’m getting my master’s degree, not to mention I know nothing about business. So here I am. I’m super thrilled. into the new bakery, the excitement is like over the top and three weeks into it my husband and I did have to make a decision. Am I going to be a big girl? Am I going to get better? Or am I going to give up? I couldn’t give up. I’m a divorced woman. I have to earn a living and so 18-hour days, you know, bring it on. Let’s do this thing. Four years later, my business partners has been Deemer, asked me a question one day. He said, Kat, are you going to continue treating this business like a hobby? Are you going to treat it like a business? That was huge for me. That was super significant and pushing me to get help, pushing me to become a thriver with Thrive 15 was without question the pivotal moment in my business. I went from lacking some confidence to becoming empowered through knowledge of how to grow a business. Our sales are 50% plus what they were a year ago. I feel I’ve regained confidence in myself as an entrepreneur and in my business. Becoming educated through Thrive15 is what made the difference.

My name is Sherita Bent and I work on the leadership team here at Thrive15.com. Our team is a group of dynamic individuals and we work really hard to deliver the goods for our clients. We have a variety of clients. Gosh, we work with people in all industries. Dentists, bakers, doctors, lawyers. We work with people stateside. We work with people abroad. Really, we don’t have any limits to who we’ll help. We help them with search engine optimization, marketing, making a logo, your business card, what’s the most effective way to have your website look cutting edge, branding, social media, leadership skills. I mean the list just, I could like keep going and going and going. Whereas a company may have a budget for branding or a budget for their advertising. We can take all of those things, handle them here in-house, give you excellent results quickly, efficiently, and for a fraction of the cost. So, that’s our deal. The one thing that you hear over and over is the excitement and the gratitude for the results that we get from them. Most times people are moved to tears, literally, because they just have maybe been stuck in a place where they’re maybe not hitting the goals that they have for themselves, or maybe they are like just having no profitability at all. And so it’s really neat when we can help them. That is the recurring theme that really like warms your heart and makes you really excited for the customer too. We have a system. It works. If you work the system, the system will work for you. And so it’s like a win-win. We have something that we know totally works. So you can’t beat that.

Clay Clark is here somewhere. Where’s my buddy play? plays the greatest. I met his goats today. I met his dogs. I

met his chickens. I saw his compound. He’s like the greatest

guy ran from his goats, his chickens, his dogs. So this guy

is like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right? His entire life, Clay Clark, his entire life is marketing.

Okay, Aaron Antis, March 6th and 7th, March 6th and 7th, guess who’s coming to Tulsa, Russia?

Ooh, Santa Claus?

No, that’s March, March 6th and 7th, you’re going to be joined by Robert Kiyosaki, Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, possibly the best-selling, or one of the best-selling business authors of all time. And he’s going to be joined with Eric Trump. He’ll be joined by Eric Trump. We got Eric Trump and Robert Kiyosaki in the same place.

In the same place.

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

That book was the inspiration for me to get the entrepreneurial spirit, as many other

people. Now, since you won’t brag on yourself, I will. You’ve sold billions of dollars of houses, am I correct?

That is true.

And the book that kick-started it all for you. Rich Dad Pornhub. The best-selling author of Rich Dad Pornhub, Robert Kiyosaki, the guy that kick-started your career, he’s gonna be here. He’s gonna be here. I’m pumped. And now Eric Trump, people don’t know this, but the Trump Organization has thousands of employees. There’s not 50 employees. The Trump Organization, again, most people don’t know this, but the Trump Organization has thousands of employees. And while Donald J. Trump was the 45th president of these United States and soon to be the 47th president of these United States, he needed someone to run the companies for him. And so the man that runs the Trump organization for Donald J. Trump as he was the 45th president of the United States and now the 47th president of the United States is Eric Trump. So Eric Trump is here to talk about time management, promoting from within, marketing, branding, quality control, sales systems, workflow design, workflow mapping, how to build. I mean, everything you see, the Trump hotels, the Trump golf courses, all their products, the man who manages billions of dollars of real estate and thousands of employees is here to teach us how to do it. You are talking about one of the greatest brands on the planet from a business standpoint. I mean, who else has been able to create a brand like the Trump brand? I mean, look at it. And this is the man behind the business for the last, pretty much since 2015. He’s been the man behind it. So you’re talking, we’re into nine, going into 10 years of him running it. And we get to tap into that knowledge. That’s going to be amazing. Now, think about this for a second. Would you buy a ticket just to see Robert Kiyosaki and Eric Trump? Of course you would. Of course you would. But we’re also going to be joined by Sean Baker. This is the best-selling author, the guy who invented the carnivore diet. Oh yeah. Dr. Sean Baker. He’s been on Joe Rogan multiple times. He’s going to be joining us. So you’ve got Robert Kiyosaki, the best-selling author, rich dad, poor dad, Eric Trump, Sean Baker. The lineup continues to grow. And this is how we do our tickets here at the Thrive Time Show. If you want to get a VIP ticket, you can absolutely do it. It’s $500 for a VIP ticket. We’ve always done it that way. Now if you want to take a general admission ticket, it’s $250 or whatever price you want to pay. And the reason why I do that, and the reason why we do that, is because we want to make our events affordable for everybody. I grew up without money. I totally understand what it’s like to be in a tight spot. So if you want to attend, it’s $250 or whatever price you want to pay. That’s how I do it. And it’s $500 for a VIP ticket. Now we only have limited seating here. The most people we’ve ever had in this building was for the Jim Brewer presentation. Jim Brewer came here. The legendary comedian Jim Brewer came to Tulsa, and we had 419 people that were here, 419 people. And I thought to myself, there’s no more room. I felt kind of bad that a couple people had VIP seats in the men’s restroom. No, I’m just kidding. But I thought, you know what, we should probably add on. So we’re adding on what we call the upper deck, or the top shelf. The seats are very close to the presenters, but we’re actually building right now. We’re adding on to the facility to make room to accommodate another 30 attendees or more. So again, if you want to get tickets for this event, all you have to do is go to Thrivetimeshow.com. Go to Thrivetimeshow.com. When you go to Thrivetimeshow.com, you’ll go there, you’ll request a ticket, boom. Or if you want to text me, if you want a little bit faster service, you say, I want you to call me right now. Just text my number. It’s my cell phone number, my personal cell phone number. We’ll keep that private between you, between you, me, everybody. We’ll keep that private. And anybody, don’t share that with anybody except for everybody. That’s my private cell phone number. It’s 918-851-0102. 918-851-0102. I know we have a lot of Spanish speaking people that attend these conferences. And so to be bilingually sensitive, my cell phone number is 918-851-0102. That is not actually bilingual, that’s just saying Juan for a Juan, it’s not the same thing.

I think you’re attacking me.

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

OK.

You’re going to learn marketing, marketing and branding. What are we going to learn about marketing and branding?

Oh, yeah.

We’re going to dive into, you know, so many people say, oh, you know, I’ve got to get my brand known out there, like the Trump brand. You want to get that brand out there. It’s like, how do I actually make people know what my business is and make it a household name. You’re going to learn some intricacies of how you can do that. You’re going to learn sales. So many people struggle to sell something. This just in, your business will go to hell if you can’t sell. So we’re going to teach you sales. We’re going to teach you search engine optimization, how to come up top in the search engine results. We’re going to teach you how to manage people. Aaron, you have managed, no exaggeration, hundreds of people throughout your career and thousands of contractors, and most people struggle with managing people. Why does everybody have to learn how to manage people? Well, because, first of all, people are, you either have great people or you have people who suck, and so it can be a challenge. You know, learning how to work with a large group of people and get everybody pulling in the same direction can be a challenge. But if you have the right systems, you have the right processes, and you’re really good at selecting great ones, and we have a process we teach about how to find great people. When you start with the people who have a great attitude, they’re teachable, they’re driven, all of those things, then you can get those people all pulling in the same direction. So we’re going to teach you branding, marketing, sales, search engine optimization. We’re going to teach you accounting. We’re going to teach you personal finance, how to manage your finance. We’re going to teach you time management. How do you manage your time? How do you get more done during a typical day? How do you build an organization if you’re not organized? How do you do organization? How do you build an org chart? Everything that you need to know to start and grow a business will be taught during this two-day interactive business workshop. But let me tell you how the format is set up here. And again, folks, this is a two-day interactive 15. Think about this, folks. It’s two days. Each day starts at 7 AM, and it goes until 5 PM. So from 7 AM to 5 PM, two days. It’s a two-day interactive workshop. The way we do it is we do a 30-minute teaching session, and then we break for 15 minutes for a question and answer session. So Aaron, what kind of great stuff happens during that 15-minute question and answer session after every teaching session. I actually think it’s the best part about the workshops because here’s what happens. I’ve been to lots of these things over the years. I’ve paid many thousands of dollars to go to them and you go in there and they talk in vague generalities and they’re constantly upselling you for something, trying to get you to buy this thing or that thing or this program or this membership and you don’t, you leave not getting your very specific questions answered about your business or your employees or what you’re doing on your marketing. And what’s awesome about this is we literally answer every single question that any person asks. And it’s very specific to what your business is. And what we do is we allow you as the attendee to write your questions on the whiteboard. And then we literally, as you mentioned, we answer every single question on the whiteboard. And then we take a 15 minute break to stretch. And to make it entertaining when you’re stretching, this is a true story. When you get up and stretch, you’ll be greeted by mariachis. There’s gonna probably be alpaca here, llamas, helicopter rides, a coffee bar, a snow cone. I mean, there’s just, you had a crocodile one time. That was pretty interesting. You know, I should write that down. Sorry for that one guy that we lost. The crocodile, we duct taped its face. So that, right, we duct taped. It was a baby crocodile. And we duct taped. Yeah, duct taped around the mouth so it didn’t bite anybody. But it was really cool to cancel that thing around and pass it. I should do that.

I should.

We have a small petting zoo that will be assembled. It’s going to be great. And then you’re in the company of hundreds of entrepreneurs. So there’s not a lot of people in America today. In fact, there’s less than 10 million people today, according to US Debt Clock, that identify as being self-employed. So if you have a country with 350 million people, that means you have less than 3% of our population that’s even self-employed. So you only have three out of every hundred people in America that are self-employed to begin with, and when Inc. Magazine reports that 96% of businesses fail by default, by default you have a one out of a thousand chance of succeeding in the game of business. But yet the average client that you and I work with, we can typically double the size. No hyperbole, no exaggeration. I have thousands of testimonials to back this up. We have thousands of testimonials to back it up. But when you work with a home builder, when I work with a business owner, we can typically double the size of the company within 24 months.

Yeah.

Double? And you say double? Yeah, there’s businesses that we have tripled. There’s businesses we’ve grown 8x. There’s so many examples you can see at thrivetimeshow.com. But again, this is the most interactive best business workshop on the planet. This is objectively the highest rated and most reviewed business workshop on the planet. And then you add to that Robert Kiyosaki, the best-selling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. You add to that Eric Trump, the man that runs the Trump Organization. You add to that Sean Baker. Now you might say, Clay, is there more? I need more! Well, Tom Wheelwright is the wealth strategist for Robert Kiyosaki. So people say, Robert Kiyosaki, who’s his financial wealth advisor? Who’s the guy who manages, who’s his wealth strategist? His wealth strategist, Tom Wheelwright, will be here. And you say, Clay, I still, I’m not going to get a ticket unless you give me more! Okay, fine. We’re going to serve you the same meal both days. True story. We cater to food. And because I keep it simple, I literally bring in the same food both days for lunch. It’s Ted Esconzito’s, an incredible Mexican restaurant. That’s going to happen. And Jill Donovan, our good friend, who is the founder of Rustic Cuff. She started that company in her home. And now she sells millions of dollars of apparel and products. That’s rusticcuff.com. And someone says, I want more. This is not enough. Give me more. OK. I’m not gonna mention their names right now because I’m working on it behind the scenes here. But we’ve got one guy who’s given me a verbal to be here. And this is a guy who’s one of the wealthiest people in Oklahoma. And nobody really knows who he is because he’s built systems that are very utilitarian that offer a lot of value. He’s made a lot of money in the, it’s the, it’s where you rent, it’s short, not, it’s where you’re renting storage spaces. He’s a storage space guy. He owns this, what do you call that? The rental, the storage space? Storage units. This guy owns storage units. He owns railroad cars. He owns a lot of assets that make money on a daily basis, but they’re not like customer facing. Most people don’t know who owns the mini storage facility, or most people don’t know who owns the warehouse that’s passively making money. Most people don’t know who owns the railroad cars. But this guy, he’s given me a verbal that he will be here. And we just continue to add more and more success stories. So if you’re out there today and you want to change your life, you want to give yourself an incredible gift, you want a life-changing experience, you want to learn how to start and grow a company, go to Thrivetimeshow.com go there right now Thrivetimeshow.com request a ticket for the two day interactive event again the day here is March 6th and 7th March 6th and 7th we just got confirmation Robert Kiyosaki best-selling author Rich Dad Poor Dad he’ll be here Eric Trump the man who leads the Trump organization it’s going to be a blasty blast there’s no upsells.
