Clay Clark Client Testimonials | “5 Years Ago, I Just Felt Like We Were Stuck So I Reached Out to You Guys. You Guys Helped Me Build the Systems We Have Now!” – Gabe Salinas (Founder of WindowNinjas.com + 12X Success Story)

Audio Transcription

Gosh man, time flies. I’d say right around four or five years ago, I just kind of felt like we were stuck and I wasn’t, my wheels weren’t moving and I had this goal and I just didn’t really know how to get there. So you guys actually helped me with that. I mean I reached out to you guys, we started our relationship, we started our coaching sessions and you guys helped me build a lot of the systems that we have now. But you know Clay, had I not actually sat down and took the time and the energy to reach

out to you and then set aside time every single week to actually work on the specific goal of scaling Window Ninjas, then it would have never happened and we wouldn’t have the, it wouldn’t have come to fruition like it is today. Gage Salinas, welcome to the Thrived Time Show. How are you, sir? I am wonderful, Clay.

I’m glad to be here with you today. And just to give people a little context, um, how long have we worked with you and your, in your business, sir? A little over three years, Clay. We’ve been together for a little bit of a journey now. And I think we picked the best of times and the worst of times to work together.

I mean, it’s like right at the peak of the geopolitical craziness. That’s when we started working with you. But you’ve continued to grow. What kind of growth have you seen over these past three years? Just so the listeners know that you do have, in fact, a business that can navigate through difficult times. Well, we have over doubled our business here at Window Ninjas since working with you. I actually went back and looked through our numbers and I looked at some of our goals that we had set in the original conversation that I had with your team.

And we have surpassed my original conversation that I had with your team, and we have surpassed my original number that I wanted to hit with you guys, and I was quite shocked at how, I won’t say easy, but systematic it was for us to be able to get to where we wanted to be.

So, information is key. Making sure you’re following the process when it comes to marketing accurately and repetitively is something that we do over here and we have really, really, really scaled it to the next level. And you know what, Clay? You guys are the ones that taught us that in the beginning and we have followed through with that for over the past what four or five years now that we’ve been working together.

We have spent the last seven years scaling this business and we have these checklists in place with the help from your team, Clay, and it just creates success for all of our customers, all of our franchisees, me here in my corporate office, all of our call center employees, our accounting department, all of our leadership teams. I mean it really, really, really solves a lot of problems. And so as opposed to trying to reinvent the wheel, man,

just grab a checklist that somebody has already taken the time and the energy to develop for you. Use it and then master it and then reap the benefits with the revenue that you’re going to earn from doing those specific things that are on that checklist. It’s super powerful, Clay. It’s the best thing.

I mean, I know that I can come into this office whenever I want, whether if I want to be here at 7 o’clock in the morning or if I don’t want to be here at 7 o’clock in the morning, I know that I’m going to have people that are going to be here doing the specific tasks that everybody in this operation needs them to specifically do. Uh, having, having good key people is important. Are you going to lose some of your key people? Absolutely. But if you are always looking for great individuals, great people, and encourage them to come work for you,

and then you teach them the systems, and you teach them what their specific job is, and you let them know how important they are. Clay, well first of all, thank you for having me again today. We’ve been doing this for quite a while. I’ve been working with you for quite a while.

Anybody out there that’s looking for a coaching system, I would definitely give Clay a call. You could be anywhere doing a lot of different things, but you chose to be here. Hey, I’m Ryan Wimpey. doing a lot of different things but you chose to be here. really important. We have workflows that are kind of all over the place. So 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, which you know, we’ve been sitting here, we’ve been learning a lot and so the humor 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, but the wizard interacts and he 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, 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 priceless. That’s money. Well we’re definitely not getting upsold here. My wife and I have attended conferences where they upsold us great information and then

they upsold us like half the conference and I don’t want to like bang my head into a wall and she’s like banging her head into the chair in front of her. Like 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. 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 our old house, right? 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 house with our new neighborhood.

This is our new van with our new marketing and this is our new team. We went from four to 14 and I took this beautiful photo. We worked with several different business coaches in the past and they were all about helping Ryan sell better and just teaching sales, which is awesome, but Ryan is a really great salesman, so we didn’t need that. We needed somebody to help us get everything that was in his head out into systems, into manuals and scripts and

actually build a team. So now that we have systems in place, we’ve gone from one to 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. The Thrive Time Show. Two-day interactive business workshops are the highest and most reviewed business workshops on the planet. You can learn the proven 13 point business systems 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, 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 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 going to be the best business workshop ever and we’ll even give you your money back if you don’t love it. We’ve built this facility for you and we’re excited to see it. All right and now ladies and gentlemen I’m gonna bring up my good friend Ryan Wimpy, my good friend Ryan Wimpy, and his dog, Odin.

This dog has the ability to eat me, so I’m sort of concerned. I’ll pass the mic to you. And Odin, you can have your own mic if you want, whatever you want, Odin. Okay. I’m a little bit afraid of Odin. Hi have your own mic if you want whatever you want Odin. Okay. We didn’t learn anything about internet marketing or advertising or anything at all. Just dog training.

And that’s what’s so great about working with Clay and his team because they do it all for us. So that we can focus on our passion and that’s training dogs. Clay and his team here, they’re so enthusiastic. Their energy is off the charts. Never a dull moment. They’re at thrive.

We’ve been working with Clay and his team for the last five months, two of which have been our biggest months ever. One, our biggest gross by 35%. Clay’s helped us make anything from brochures to stickers, new business cards, new logos, scripts for phones,

script for emails, script for text message, scripting for everything. How I would describe the weekly meetings with Clay and his team are awesome. They’re so effective. It’s worth every minute. Things get done, we’ll ask for things like different flyers and they’re done before our hour is up. So it’s just awesome, extremely effective.

If you don’t use Clay and his team, you’re probably going to be pulling your hair out or you’re going to spend half the day. hours up. So it’s just awesome, extremely effective. If you don’t use Clay and his team, you’re probably going to be pulling your hair out or you’re going to spend half of your time trying to figure out the online marketing game and producing your own flyers and marketing materials, print materials, all the stuff like that. You’re really losing a lot as far as lost productivity and lost time. Not having a professional do it, it has a real sense of urgency

and actually knows what they’re doing when you already have something that’s your core focus that you already know how to do. You would also be missing out with all the time and financial freedom that you would have working with Clay and his team.

We would recommend Clay and his team to other business owners because they need to be working on their business, not just trying to figure out the online game, which is complex and changing daily. So, and no one has a marketing team, too. Most people don’t, they can’t afford one,

and their local web guy or local person that they know probably can’t do everything that a whole team and a whole floor of people can do in hours and not just weeks or months. There’s a definite sense of urgency with Clay and his team. I used to have to ride other web people, I mean really ride them to get stuff done, and stuff is done so fast here and people, there’s a real sense of urgency to get it done. chickens. I saw his compound. He’s like the greatest guy. I ran from his goats, his chickens,

his dogs. So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right? 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? Santa, Santa Claus? No, that’s March. March 6th. We’re going to be joined by Robert Kiyosaki. Robert Kiyosaki. Best-selling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Probably 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 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 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 that 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 ten years of him running it and we get to tap into that knowledge that’s 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 of 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 with 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. Yeah. And I thought to myself that there’s no more room. I felt kind of bad that a couple people had VIP seats in the men’s restroom. Oh no, I’m just kidding. But I thought, so 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. So 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 thrivetimesShow.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. That’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 one 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 gonna learn here, okay? Okay.

You’re gonna learn marketing, marketing and branding. What are we gonna learn about marketing and branding? Oh yeah, we’re gonna dive into, you know, so many people say, oh, you know, I got to get my brand known out there, like the Trump brand. Right? You want to get that brand 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 gonna teach you sales.

We’re gonna teach you search engine optimization. How to come up top in the search engine results. We’re gonna 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 could 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. 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 know, 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. Now let me tell you how the format is set up here. And again, folks, this is a two day interactive 15. Think about this, folks. It’s two days. Each day it starts at 7am and it goes until 5pm. So from 7am to 5pm, 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 employment 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. And 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. We lost the crocodile. We duct taped its face. So that, right? We duct taped… No, it was a baby crocodile. And we duct tape this it’s face so that right we duct tape baby crocodile and duct tape yeah duct tape around the mouse so it didn’t bite anybody but it was really cool you can’t put that thing around and I should I should do that I should we have a small petting zoo that will be

assembled it’s gonna 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 identifies 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 it’s you only have three out of every 100 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 this. I’m just no no no hyperbole, no exaggeration. I have thousands of testimonials. 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. And you say double? Yeah, there’s businesses that we have tripled. There’s businesses we’ve grown eight X.

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 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 take but Clay is there more I need more well okay 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 get a ticket unless you give me more. OK, fine. We’re going to serve you the same meal both days. True story. We have we cater in the 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. Okay, 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 where you rent. It’s short term, 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 giving 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 you want to change your life you want to give yourself a incredible gift you want a life-changing experience you want to learn how to start and grow a company go to thrive timeshow.com go there right now
