Audio Transcription

You have them? Your conference, gentlemen.

All right, so good.

So where are we?

When I have a meeting, I don’t waste time.

It’s quick, short, to the point, and we don’t play games.

We are going to have to get you down to 120, or I don’t think this thing’s going to work.

That’s not in the cards for us. If it’s got to be a $120 million job, then it’s not something we can do. There’s only so many hours in the day. The quicker you are, the more you can get done. I want you to sharpen your pencil if you can, okay? But that price won’t get it.

I’m going to give you a little bit of a break. I’m going to give you a little bit of a break. I’m going to give you a little bit of a break. The quicker you are, the more you can get done.

I want you to sharpen your pencil if you can, okay?

But that price won’t get it, okay? Thank you. Thank you. I’ve always felt location is important, but the people behind the deal are much more important than location. I’d much rather have a really smart, talented guy doing a deal

in a not so good location than an idiot doing a deal in a great location, because you’ll make money every time. Making deals can be tough. I learned at a young age that you have to deal with the boss. It’s very simple. Deal with the boss wherever possible. Negotiation is a very, very delicate art. Sometimes you have to be tough. Sometimes you have to be as sweet as pie. You never know. It depends on who you’re dealing with. I’ve always said that negotiation is not really learned. It’s almost innate. It’s in the genes a

negotiator is born Once you make a deal with someone it’s really important to carry it through you start developing the wrong reputation It makes it impossible to make future deals once you shake hands that should be it You’ve always got to stand up for yourself. You just have to fight for yourself, because basically nobody else is going to fight for you. Negotiation is a very, very delicate part.

The big thing in negotiation is to try and figure out your opponent. Otherwise, you’re going to look like an idiot and lose big. Many times you hear the expression that God is in the details. When people come in to buy something, especially very rich people, they see details. If something’s wrong, they see it, and it reflects in the prices. Let me see what that looks like.

That’s why I’m up early in the morning to check every detail of my construction sites.

What is that?

It’s a little bit like watch somebody sell their used car and not wash it. You can spend $10 washing the car and get another $200 for the car. And I’ve seen guys, they’re selling cars that are dirty. And I say, that guy is a loser.

It’s going to be a great store when they’re finished.

Never beg when you’re trying to sell something.

If it doesn’t work out, take your lumps and relax. But you’ll never sell through the begging route.

You’ve got to believe in what you’re selling.

If you don’t believe it, if you don’t really believe it yourself, it’ll never work. It’ll never sell. And you’re going to be miserable. We think we’re going to have a very, very substantial portion of this building lease before we start construction. Thinking outside of the box is something that is very much of a cliche, but if you really want to be successful, that’s how you’re going to have to do it. People love the beauty of the building, they love the location of the building, and I think they like Trump.

It’s always been easier for me to think big. It was always easier for me to attract the money and the capital than it would be if I did a small job someplace that nobody cared about and nobody wanted to finance. For instance, I’m building a new golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. Frank, how are we doing? Good. The site covers over 500 acres, which is huge.

When I’m done, it’s going to be one of the best golf courses anywhere in the world. All right. Good, smooth stuff.

This top soil is great. Good, smooth. OK. Now, in this wind, I realize I have my own hair.

They always say, Trump does he wear a wig? I say, I have my own hair.

At least I’ll see it now in the wind.

You cannot be successful without passion. If you don’t love what you’re doing, if you don’t have passion for it, forget it. Do something else. You’ll be much more successful and you’ll lead a lot happier life.

The greatest thing that can happen to a businessman or a woman is to surround yourself with talented people who also happen to be loyal. You never know what makes a loyal person. And guess what? If they’re not loyal to you one time, don’t give them a second chance because they won’t be loyal to you the next time.

Ideally you want quick decision makers. However, you can’t make it so quick that the decision’s going to be wrong. I’d rather have somebody take their time and come out with the right decision. But the best combination is good decision making quickly.

Every apartment is at least this finished or more. The building is in fantastic shape. If I see that there’s a lack of organization, it drives me crazy. Because ultimately, lack of organization is lack of leadership. And you cannot succeed with a lack of leadership.

We’re substantially under budget and we’re ahead of schedule.

It’s good.

Good. Okay.

I focus very, very hard on budget. When people don’t adhere to a budget, it’s only trouble. You’re at 2,000,095.

Right.

Can you get it down to a million eight?

A billion eight?

A million eight.

People go over budget, they’re in big trouble.

We have a deal.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Bye.

The word leadership is always hard to define because you see so many different people that are so different and they’re great leaders.

Hello, everybody.

But the quality of a great leader that I’ve seen that’s common to all is respect. There’s nothing like real estate. It beats paper stock certificates and I think it’s a great market. People have to respect you or you cannot be a leader.

Say no, folks.

Bill, we just bought the rest of the Sun Time site, so we own 100% of it now. The marketplace is totally brilliant. If you price something a little bit high, all of a sudden, they don’t buy. If you price it a little bit low, the marketplace just comes and eats it alive. You have to find the right price. And if you don’t, big trouble. You better do a good job, Bill, or your ass is grass. Okay, good luck, Bill. Bye. I love you, bye.

When I build a building or when I build a golf course or a club or whatever I do, you always have to go after a certain audience. Number one paperback is The Art of the Deal and the number one business book is How to Get Rich. You have to be able to pinpoint your market

and if you can’t pinpoint the market, you won’t be successful.

Have a good time, everybody. Okay, look at the building, look at the facade, get it painted, get it finished. I want to get rid of those air conditioning louvers, especially the ones in the terracotta.

If you think an idea is really good, then just don’t stop.

Go after it.

Keep selling it. Because some of the greatest ideas were ideas that nobody wanted. So it’s going to be painted like the… To represent Donald Trump and the Trump Organization, somebody has to be driven, but maybe more important than anything, they have to love it. If they don’t love it, they’ll never, ever be successful.

Once they love it, and once I can see they enjoy what they’re doing, and they’ve got the talent to do it. They can’t stop.

Contractors are a whole separate breed. They’re tough, they’re smart, they didn’t go to Harvard

or Wharton mostly, but you know what? They’re just as smart as anybody that went there. You have to know how to deal with contractors and you have to be tough because they will pick your pockets and you won’t even know what happened. Positive attitude is all about self-confidence and self-confidence is the whole ballgame. I like the name Trump Tower Chicago, like Trump National for the golf courses. If you don’t have a positive attitude in business or in life, you’ll never ever be successful.

I always thought of it Trump Tower Chicago, but the building is gonna be amazing.

Random House has really been amazing for Trump.

Our last book, How to Get Rich, was so successful. You should never lose your cool, unless it’s an act. If you’re acting, then you’re angry, because you wanna scare your employees or you wanna do something to get them to work harder. Never lose your cool unless you have a reason for doing so.

And I promise you that will not be the picture we use because I hate it.

This is the first time I’ve seen this one.

I’m a leader that listens to my team and listens intently. But in the end, I form my own opinion.

So we’re just not having to work down from it?

No, no.

But how can they tell us what height? The height starts off the ground. So why do we have to take the ground down? The leader that wants to be popular, that wants to be loved, that leader ultimately is not gonna make it.

You need to move the transformers.

Move the transformers.

We’re gonna have to take care of that issue.

Okay, all right, good.

Let’s you and I come into the office, okay? One o’clock on Friday? Why don’t you confirm it? What’s his attitude? And he knows I’m not doing it unless I get what I want, right? Oftentimes you’ll see an opponent and you’ll say to yourself, this is going to be easy. That’s the worst thing you can do. Never underestimate your opponent. Assume that your opponent is the toughest, smartest person in the world because that can really lead to victory. What did he tell you? How did he talk to you?

Okay, that means he’s going to do it. Be a hard ass guy. Okay, so long.

Come on everybody. Are you running with me?

There’s no better feeling than being a winner.

Does New York City want the Olympics?

Yeah!

To be a winner, you have to think like a winner. You have to be positive and you can not stop.

The best people are the ones that don’t stop until the sale is made. Can you do this deal for $250,000?

You had $344,000, right? Can’t do it for $250,000, sir. What can you do it for? They never give up. They have no quit. $265,000, Scott, I’m going to give you the deal. Is that okay? Do a great job, Scott. You have a lot of business coming

up, okay?

I appreciate that.

All right, congratulations. If you win, people are going to respect you. Nice shot, Annika.

Ah, where am I?

I don’t think you should have kicked that ball.

You might be in the world. Vince Lombardi was a little guy. He used to smack around these giant football players and they’d cry. The reason he got away with it is because he just won.

Good swing.

Greatest golfer in the world. I’ve rarely seen a leader that’s been able to lead by consensus. A leader is somebody that oftentimes will go against everybody.

That’s what a leader is.

Pete, why would you send this to them anyway?

Right down the line, I don’t know.

No, but why wouldn’t you let him send it to you? You’re not supposed to send him anything. He’s bidding on a job. Generally speaking, a leader has to think independently. I think if it’s better, if you say you got a better price and cut them down to 15, five and then I’m gonna forget about what happened okay

you got to knock this building down fast right fast okay quickly how long February believe or sooner or sooner people settle for mediocrity for one reason they’re lazy I’ve seen it so often people go into something, they don’t want to go that extra step, they know it’s not going to be great, it might be good, it might be okay, it’s not going to be great. They settle for mediocrity. They’re lazy. Great job, man. He’s done that before, huh?

Oh, yeah. He wanted me to do that, right? I’ve always felt my best deals were made with my instinct, not anything else.

With my instinct. Well, I think this will be one of the great buildings of Chicago, if not the best.

And what do you say to the skeptics?

My skeptics have always faded away because I produce. They’ve made Chicago very proud. Well, thank you. How long would wire that holds up a big, heavy scaffold last from a practical standpoint on a big building. Could it last like 10 years or do you think not? I’ll always want to hear what

people have to say. It doesn’t mean you have to do what they’re saying, but always listen. If you do all the talking, you’re not going to learn a lot.

The New York state has its own code, which is regulated every 36 months.

That’s very interesting. All right, you have a deal. Congratulations. Golf is an amazing game. I’ve seen people become tremendous friends in a golf course, whereas when they go out for lunch or dinner, they can’t stand each other.

You just keep making par after par.

Well, that’s nice of you to say, but I think I’m probably more proud of the course than I am of my game, but I’m happy with my game.

But Donald, you’ve been carrying me the whole round.

Thank you.

That was a good one.

I always like to think big.

There’s an expression, go big or go home. I like it a lot. You go for the fences, you go all the way, or just, you know what, go home. I mean, if you can get a client like someone, as opposed to a client like…

Who knows?

You better rush! In life you can have a great idea, but if you can’t get those ideas across, it’s never ever going to work. You can’t miss in this location, you know that. I don’t know how many square feet do we need to see the space of really? Pretty big, it’s pretty good, I’ll tell you. You know, we’re going to put a whole canopy over the top of the space. It’s going to be beautiful. I know so many people that have great ideas, but they can’t sell the ideas. Guess what? They’re not successful.

I want to move in. Okay, give me a proposal. All right? Okay. Nice seeing you, pal.

Nice seeing you.

Oftentimes you’ll have an idea and you’ll fall in love with it and then it turns out to be not such a good idea and you can’t get rid of it. Can you give us a good deal? How about we make a deal now at, on a gross basis, $20 a foot. When the idea turns out bad, cut it out of your mind, get rid of it, go on to the next thing and let it be better. Okay, if you can’t make a deal, finish it up with IBM, right?

For me, failure is never an option. Look, you guys didn’t do a job and you weren’t there and you know you weren’t there. And the deal would have never gotten done without the other guys. If you have to go through the wall, you go through it. If you can’t go through it, you go under it, around it, over it. There is no such thing as failure.

You know what? Then maybe you’re not going to get your fee, because as far as I’m concerned, you didn’t do anything. This deal was mishandled from day one, okay? I’ve seen people go 48 hours and even more, days and days without any sleep in order to get a deal done.

Sometimes you have to do that. You have to love what you do. Number two, you can never give up. You can never quit. And if you don’t have the physical or mental stamina to do it, guess what?

You better be doing something else. You can never, ever quit. Getting along with people is very important to success. So give me a proposal we’ll study.

You know, he’s my friend, right?

If you’re not going to get along with people, you may be successful, but it’s going to be a lot harder.

Right, that’s what it’s all about. Is that right?

In business, it’s important to adapt.

Let’s get to the price. So you’re at $344. Can you do it for $250? I cannot. And you know, we have a big building going up in Chicago. And if you don’t adapt, you’re never going to be good in business, you’re never going to be successful.

Okay.

$265, Scott, I’m going to give you the deal.

You give me that three-year service agreement of $15,000, we have a deal, sir. Okay. All right, you have a deal. Show flexibility. Be able to make a change. Leadership is very important in business. You have to inspire your staff. You have

to really make them respect you. Go ahead, do it. Let’s do it. Come on, you promised me. You guaranteed me victory. Did you guarantee me victory? Yeah. You never quit. You never quit. Bring Jennifer in. People like working for the Trump organization because I make it fun. That’s Miss Universe right there. Look, Jay is one of the top lawyers in New York. I make life interesting. It’s always different. It’s always exciting. Where else do you get a good time with Trump? Trump is Trump. What can I tell you?

A good leader has to be able to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of employees. You really have to watch the people that you’re doing business with because there have been some absolutely horrific stories. The leader has to be able to see who is really strong where. And if they don’t do it, it’s not going to work out very well for that leader or for that company. So get the best people and watch them.

Money is important for a lot of reasons. It’s a scorecard.

How well did I do? How much did I make? How much did the company make? Bill, I’m glad you called. Well, your name has been great in Las Vegas. And that’s even good for your building. It gives it a status.

Oh, it’s great. It’s great, Donald. It’s added prestige to the ground and it’s done well.

You can do a lot of things, but in business, it’s all about money.

Yeah, a good deal, I’d say it’s like a great deal, okay?

Yes, it is.

So long.

Bye.

Bye.

A successful team has to challenge each other. Push your teammates to be better performers.

Just had a third one.

Let me see it.

Let me see.

Why do you like this better? Now, what you have, let me just see what you have. Just keep pushing and pushing them. You don’t want to drive them over the edge, but push them as far as you can.

All right, good.

Let’s you and I come into the office.

You have them? Yes, conference, gentlemen. All right, so good.

So where are we?

When I have a meeting, I don’t waste time.

It’s quick, short, to the point, and we don’t play games.

We are going to have to get you down to 120, or I don’t think this thing’s going to work. That’s not in the cards for us. If it’s got to be a $120 million job, then it’s not something we can do. There’s only so many hours in the day. The quicker you are, the more you can get done. I want you to sharpen your pencil if you can, okay?

But that price won’t get it, okay? I want you to sharpen your pencil. I want you to sharpen your pencil.

I want you to sharpen your pencil.

I want you to sharpen your pencil if you can, okay?

But that price won’t get it, okay? Thank you. Bye. Bye. Recently, I had a man and he came in for his final interview, but in my mind he was hired. So this guy started telling me what a creep his boss is. A disloyal person can totally destroy a corporation. I didn’t like that an employee was talking badly about the boss, and I decided not to hire him. If you find a disloyal person, get rid of him or her immediately.

They’re no good, they’ll never be good. There’s nothing worse than disloyalty. I don’t think Robin or Rona would be talking badly about me,

but who the hell knows?

It’s the great business person that can decide

between practicality and creativity. The vodka category, there really isn’t a traditional strategy.

The imagery is predetermined with the Trump brand.

I like that.

That’s a very smart ad. You have to be able to strike a balance. If you don’t strike a balance, it’s not going to work. Nice presentation. Good job. There are times when the only choice is confrontation.

You understand me?

And I’m going to sue you if I have to. Do you understand me? Think of yourself as a gladiator. Think of yourself as somebody that goes into the ring. Yes, I hung up. You didn’t get disconnected. I hung up. Confrontation is never really popular. But you know what? Sometimes it’s needed.

Do it and do it with gusto. Let me tell you something. I don’t know what he bought. I don’t know what he did. All I know is I’m f****** finished, okay? Family is very important in business. Over the years, I’ve seen many very wealthy people. They’re successful, they’ve got a lot going, they’re not necessarily happy.

Uh, well, what do you want tonight? Chicken parmesan?

No, I’m a happy man.

Ah, with meat sauce. Okay, Angel, I’ll take care of it. The people that are the happiest and the most content are the ones with good family. Okay, I’ll get you some spaghetti, baby. You are so lucky to be married to me. Goodbye, honey.

Bye, baby.

Good night.

People that are successful always know when it’s time to pull somebody, to change the squad. You don’t want them to fail because probably it’s your team that’s going down with them. So pull that person before they fail. Life is full of different people. Sometimes you’ll see a person, they’re dressed beautifully, they look great, they’re sharp,

they speak well, everything’s perfect, but they’re losers.

Hello, everybody. Nice group, huh? Beautiful.

Hey, how you doing?

Then you’ll see somebody that doesn’t look as good. They don’t have the right clothing. They don’t have the right face. They don’t have anything right, but they turn out to be winners. Time shows that they turned out to be winners. How’s he doing? How’s his answer? Good?

He looks funny smart to me.

You never can judge a book by its cover. I’ve seen over the years many people, they’re highly inflexible, they have a straight line, but a lot of times that line has to change. And if you don’t have a plan B, it’s just not going to work.

I really think this is something you want to show them. This is plan B. We might have a decision to make. You need flexibility, or you’re never ever going to be successful. In advertising you want to keep your message to the point and simple.

When you make it too detailed, too complex, it goes over the head of a large segment of the people you’re really wanting to hear the message. A really great leader, no matter how tough, no matter how smart, will always have an ability to listen to smart people that work for them. Hello, Kendra has the real estate business. There are so many great ideas that can come out of your subordinates, and if you’re not listening, you’re not going to get those ideas.

Also, I think it would be good to aggressively attack the international market.

So hire smart people, and then listen to them.

I think that’ll work out great.

Our employees, it’s over.

How’s it coming, all right? Are they going to take the broken one out, or just leave it? Yeah, that’s what we’re going to do.

So that’s a 25-year-old piece of metal. You need the respect of your employees. Isn’t this a brand new escalator? Huh? I bought a brand new escalator, fellas. I didn’t buy one with old parts. If you’re not going to lead and if you’re not going to have their respect, it’s over. Give it up, go out and get a job.

If you’re not decisive, the people that are supposed to be following you are going to say he doesn’t know how to lead. I think that was a good one right there. At the same time, you don’t want to be so quick that you make a mistake. I think these are nicer. So be decisive, but make sure you’re not making a mistake. You tell John it’s done.

You put her in the agency. My father used to look at buildings and talk to people going into those buildings. And then he’d go and design a building so that it sort of met the needs of these people. Learn your customer, know your customer. It’s a good road to success.

Many people have priorities.

In some cases, it’s family.

In some cases, it’s business. So Ivanka, you enjoying it? A little different than college, right? A little different. A little more real world experience, I’d say.

Have priorities.

If you love your family, love them. If you love your business, love it. But there is room for other things. So you can have a great family and also do a great job at business. Try getting them all in there. Well, I hear you’re doing great, honey. So that’s good. You better do good, okay? I’ll try. Okay, bye. I view everybody as wanting my job. So everybody is ultimately competition. So when you go through periods where people come at you, go after them, fight them hard, and win.

I wouldn’t say it’s a great way to live a life, but you have the advantage of having the top spot. Don’t let anybody take that top spot from you. Stay focused. I’ve seen many people that could talk a good game, but they couldn’t deliver. They’re losers. If you don’t deliver the goods, the talking doesn’t mean anything. If you think there may be some sabotage from within, find the people that are doing this to you and get rid of them ruthlessly, viciously, I don’t care how you have to get rid of them, but get rid of them fast.

It’s always great to have friendship in business, but you can’t let the friendships hurt your goals. You can’t let the friendships hurt your business. I owed billions and billions of dollars. And I had so many friends that were so happy. They were all happy. They’re my friends, but they were happy.

It’s really wonderful to have good friends in business, but usually it doesn’t work out. And I fought like hell. And I just beat the crap out of them with my success. Clay Clark is here somewhere. Where’s my buddy Clay?

Clay is 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. I 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 and his son march six and seven march six and seven guess who’s coming to tulsa russell

rules

now i know that’s march march six and i don’t know you’re going to be joined by robert kiyosaki property is best-selling author of rich dad poor dad possibly the best selling or one of the best-selling uh… business authors of all time and he’s going to 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 Poor Dad, the author, the best-selling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, the guy that kickstarted your career. He’s going to be here.

He’s going to 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 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 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 bestselling 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. 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, there’s no more room. I felt kind of bad that a couple of people had VIP seats in the men’s restroom. Oh, no, I’m just kidding. 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 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 9 1 8 8 5 1 0 1 0 2 That is not actually bilingual. That’s just saying one for a one It’s not 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 you tell me what you’re going to learn here, okay? Okay. 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 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 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 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. 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 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. And this is a true story. When you get up and stretch, you’ll be greeted by mariachis. There’s going to 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.

I should write that down.

Sorry for that one guy that we lost.

The crocodile, we duct taped its face. So that’s 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 passing that thing around and passing it. I should do that. 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 U.S. 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 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 1,000 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 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. 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 it 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, 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 Will Wright, 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 him the same food both days for lunch. It’s Ted Escozito’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 Maryland products. That’s rusticcuff.com. And someone says, I want more.

This is not enough.

Give me more.

OK. I’m not going to 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. It’s where you’re renting storage spaces he’s a storage space guy he owns this what do we call that the rental the storage space storage unit

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 both most people don’t know who owns the many 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.

Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author of 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. Aaron, I could not be more excited about this event. I think it is incredible, and there’s somebody out there right now, you’re watching, and you’re like, but I already signed up for this incredible other program called Smoke Your Way to Thin. You think that’s going to change your life? I promise you this will be ten times better than that.

It’s like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.

Don’t do the Smoke Your Way to Thin conference. That is…

I’ve tried it.

Don’t do it. Chain smoking is not a viable… I mean, it is life changing.

It is life changing.

If you become a chain smoker, it is life changing.

It’s not the best weight loss program though.
