Audio Transcription

Hola, Fire Nation. JLD here on a sunny Caribbean day. Just wanted to give you a little crib tour of the place that Kate and I moved to back in 2016 here in Puerto Rico. I want to show you the EO Fire Studios and a little tour of the house in general. This is the crib behind me, so let’s go take a quick tour. Alright, so here’s our lovely palm tree that made it through Hurricane Maria and the front of our house. Let’s head over to the front walkway and see what we have going on. We’re walking towards the front entrance but we’re going to take a little detour and go down the side walkway first because I kind of want to show you guys a little something down here. There’s a little panoramic of the backyard. The true reason why we chose this place. There’s a barbecue area, kitchen terrace up there. Let’s go take a little glimpse of the Caribbean, why don’t we? All right, now I’m standing on the edge of the pool with our panoramic view of the Caribbean. There’s Vieques Island in the distance and as I keep coming around here is the full grandeur of the house. Basketball hoop of course. There’s our kitchen terrace up there, barbecue area, etc. And when it gets too warm in the Caribbean, time for a dip in the pool or the jacuzzi. All right now I’m going to show you my gym. All right this is where my trainer Jeff McMahon works me out at least four days a week. I’m hitting the CrossFit here, got all the dumbbells, battle ropes, pull-up bar, kettle bells, TRX, and of course the television for when I’m using my infrared sauna as a little sweat lodge. Got to have some enjoyments to watch on the tube, right? All right, back outside the gym, let’s go ahead and move up the stairs to the kitchen terrace. All right, so this is where Kate and I like to enjoy an evening drink after a long day, mostly La Croix. Highly recommend it. And there is the beautiful El Yunque Rainforest in the background there. Simply magnificent. All right, let’s jump back to the front of the house and take an inside tour. What are you waiting for? So as you first walk into the entries you can see we have floor-to-ceiling of the beautiful view. Downstairs we have our guest room number one with our floating blue staircase. Over here we have our dining room with our living room area. Again, floor to ceiling windows there. This is where the kitchen’s at. Those doors open up right to the kitchen terrace. And then there’s a nice little shot of our entertainment center. Let’s head on upstairs. Now we’re in the upstairs hallway heading towards the guest suite. As you can see we’re in a little hallway area here overlooking the backyard and pool. Here is the lovely guest suite with what I consider the best view in the house. So let’s go check it out. on the guest suite here. We have our flamboyantry. And then just a gorgeous sweeping view of Palmas del Mar, the Caribbean, and of course, in the UK. Let’s head on back to the other side of the house. All right, now we’re entering the master suite and I just had to give you guys a quick glimpse of our shower here. It’s definitely one of my favorite features to be able to shower right here every single day. Super cool. And what’s up? Tour’s continuing. What’s up? Tour’s continuing. Here’s the master bedroom over here, little balcony off of that. And now I think it’s time to head into EO Fire HQ. Ah, breath of fresh air, because that air conditioning is pumping out the fresh air. But here’s my workstation. Right here, as you can see, I currently have the desk up with my grounding mats and my fatigue pad ready to go. I got the firewall with the microphone on fire, the other microphone on fire. Chase lounge there, and of course plenty of time to do some reading. Here’s our EO Fire Studios sign as well and just a note this is four inches of absorbic material, acoustic absorbic, to make sure there’s no echoes that are happening in here. Then I got my little coffee and tea station and just ready to rock. Let’s head over into Kate’s studio. Didn’t really prep her that this was coming so we’ll see what we can surprise her. And there she is! Hey! What do you got going on? Some editing right now? I was actually about to get on a Skype call. Well, so I guess it means I gotta get out of here Well, here’s Kate’s Office here packed beach. She’s got the chalk wall all Things going on here and she’s basically has a view of the road to make sure that’s all as well in our neighborhood All right Hope you enjoyed that crib tour wanted to give you a little glimpse About where Kate and I are living and running our business from down here in Puerto Rico Find out more about the HubSpot Podcast Network, the audio destination for business professionals with great shows like No Straight Path, and how to jump on a direct path to making millions.

Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Lawson on Arutz Sheva different people in my life that weren’t just employees. And so I asked my, I was working at Score B-Blob at the time and Clay was coaching them. And I asked him if I could go to one of his business conferences and they said yes. Then I went and after that I asked Clay and I asked my boss if I could go work for Clay and learn from him. And that’s what I did. I worked for Clay from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. and then I would leave and go work at the gym from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and I was doing that about five days a week and then on Saturdays I would also go to the gym and train kids and for a little bit there on Sundays I was delivering for Amazon so that’s what I was doing. Fire Nation, don’t you just love stories like this by the way? I mean these stories to me are so inspiring. I mean a few years ago we actually had Stephanie join Clay on the mic and she was literally on her hands and knees cleaning a toilet listening to entrepreneurs on fire clay’s words spoke to her She joined the coaching program and then we talked about the business success that she had as a result I love that story and this is one of those two fire nation where if you take action and you move forward and surround yourself With the right people good things can happen So clay jump on the mic brother because we’re talking about being on a direct path to making millions We have a great conversation today, and I want you to say hello. Hey, well, I’m excited to be here with you. I’ll tell you just a part two of that Stephanie story. She grew her business Serene Clean by 1,462% and on Next Level Serene Clean, that’s the website. Look it up, folks. Stephanie did a great job there, wonderful lady. So I’m working with this client called scorebball.com. He’s paying me, Coach Calvert, to grow his business and he reaches out to me and he says, hey, one of my employees would like to work for you in the morning, in the mornings, I guess, before he works for me. So he’s gonna have like a 16 hour workday. Are you okay with that? And I go, yeah, because I love mentoring people and teaching them how to become millionaires. I love it, but very, very rarely does someone actually ask me how to become a millionaire. People like to ask me, well, how’d you buy your first house? Or how did you become debt free? Or how did you buy a lake house, or how did you buy land, but there’s very little of how do you go from here to there. I’ll just give people a notable quotable from Brian Tracy, the bestselling author. He says, no one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we must absolutely have, he says, we absolutely positively have to find people who’ve already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals. And so when I was talking to JT, I was kind of picturing myself. I used to work at Applebee’s, Target, and DirecTV. That was my get-rich-quick scheme, working at Applebee’s, Target, and DirecTV in order to buy the $30,000 of equipment needed to start my first big company called DJConnection.com. And so when he said, can I come intern, I’m going, hey, man, because I like to teach people how to grow successful companies. If anybody goes to Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EOFire, Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EOFire, you’re going to find there are, at this point, dozens of EOFire listeners who’ve gone from a floundering or a struggling business into a multi-million dollar success story. Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Clay on Arutz Sheva Radio. Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Clay on Arutz Sheva Radio. Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Clay on Arutz Sheva Radio. will hold you up to get to that next level and one of those is a three-legged marketing stool. Clay, do you want to talk about that? Clay Shull, Jr.: Yeah, I do and I want to be very clear so your listeners can do a little research and verify that I’m not a hologram. This is big, okay? One of my long-time clients is called Oxifresh. You can look them up, oxifresh.com. They have over 500 locations, oxifresh.com. Well, the reason why I only work with one carpet cleaner in America is every time that you buy a franchise, I make $5,000. So am I motivated for you to buy a franchise? Oh yeah! Is it a great idea? Yes it is! But the thing is, a lot of businesses, I only work with one client in the whole nation. Now in the field of dog training, I’m able to work with multiple people because I don’t have an exclusive agreement signed with a dog trainer. And so JT says, you know, hey listen, I’m going to be moving back to Tulsa from Nashville and I’d like to open up my own dog business right in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Can you show me how to grow this thing?” And so I always go back to the same moves, and if you’re out there and you want to become a client, I’ll walk you through these same moves, but you have to have a three-legged marketing tool. So I want everybody, homework right now. Get out a sheet of paper and write down who are your ideal and likely buyers. So JT, rapid fire here. Who are your ideal and likely buyers for MakeYourDogEpic.com? Anyone who has a dog, typically moms over 30 before like 60. Soccer moms are calling you, they’re probably wearing Lululemon pants, they’re calling you, they’re eating their fresh avocados from Whole Foods and they want you to train their dog. So that’s who you’re marketing to. So now you say what’s the most effective way, not the only way, but the most effective way to reach these soccer moms? And the three-legged marketing stool a balanced approach to marketing is this for make your dog epic calm and for the dog trainers out there take notes one you got to dominate the search engines to you got to make sure that every dog groomer and dog enthusiast every kind of veterinarian they refer you so that’s called the dream 100 I didn’t invent that system that’s a Chet Holmes system the author of the the best-selling author of the ultimate sales machine may he rest in peace. It’s called the Dream 100 system. And then the third is we need to do consistent social media advertising so that every time someone Googles, every time someone goes to Facebook, every time they go to Instagram, they find makeyourdogepic.com. So again, to recap, search engine optimization, Dream 100 marketing, and consistent social media advertising. And by doing that, it’s to quote Forrest Gump, one less thing to think about. And what it does is it becomes a system where you don’t have to think about it. So J.T., your phone is blowing up every day, am I correct? Yeah, absolutely. Yep, blowing up. And that’s because we have that and we’re doing the Dream 100. We’re basically at the top of Google right now and then we’re doing consistent advertisement. One thing I’ll also say that you’re so good at, Clay, is helping people coming up with their irresistible offer. And I’m on the website right now. We’re talking Fire Nation, literally. Schedule your first lesson and assessment, not for $50, not for $5, for 50 cents. Talk about an irresistible offer. That is such a key thing. So Clay, back to you. Dude, listen to this. I have three dogs, and when I hear JT tell people what’s included in their… Because people go to makeyourdogepic.com, and they’re expecting to pay $2,500 for a dog training or $5,000. They’re expecting a huge total. And he gets on the phone and every single time, because his desk is right by mine, every time he tells somebody about the no-brainer offer, it is so hot, it burns my retina and gets me emotional. So I’ll let JT tell you as I attempt to not cry. Yeah, so here’s the multiple thing. So first lesson is $0.50. That way we can come out, we can see the dog, we can tell you what it would take to get your dog to your goals. After that, we will beat any competitor’s price. After that, we offer a money-back guarantee. So it’s us putting our money where our mouth is. We’re also the top in Google. So we’re the highest rated and most reviewed dog trainer in the area. And then after that, they also get group class forever. So for the rest of the dog’s life, they get two free classes a week. That way we are there for the rest of their life. So it’s just multiple no-brainer. Think about that. He’ll beat anyone’s price. The first lesson is 50 cents. Money back guarantee. Fastest turnaround time. Dog training for the rest of the dog’s life. And anybody who schedules with him, he gives them a chance to win a dream vacation to Hawaii, and he gives it away every January. Now, this is what’s crazy. He’s an employee working for one of my longtime clients called scorebball.com. He goes to his boss, boss, can I learn from Clay? Can I intern for free? You know how many people ask me that question every year? Zero. You know how many people ask me that question every decade? Three. It’s usually every three years, JLD. Somebody restores my hope in humanity. And they say, can I intern? Next thing you know, this guy’s got a six-figure earning business. He’s got a rental property. His business is blowing up. And if you’re out there today, I want to encourage you that you have the tenacity, the capacity, and the skill set to become successful. I don’t know who I’m talking to, but I’m talking to you. Someone says, is he talking to me? Yes! And someone says, why is he talking so loud? Because I am passionate about you achieving massive success. Success is a lot of fun, and if you’ve had success, you wanna bring success to other people, you wanna share the gospel of wealth, and I encourage everybody out there, write it down right now in your man book, in your woman book, in your journal, write it down that today is the day that you will escape the poverty cycle. Today is the day you will become successful. JT who’s talking about real success that they’ve had from following a real process that really works. And this is exciting stuff, Fire Nation, and we have more to talk about when we get back from thanking our sponsors.

So in addition to eating real, whole foods, I take supplements to make sure I’m fueling my body with the right nutrients. And one supplement you should definitely check out is Field of Greens.

And one thing that, you know, I know, Clay, from following you, from being at your conferences and reading your book, is that knowledge without application is not going to lead to increased compensation. Talk about this. Well, what happened is when JT reached out to me, I don’t spend a lot of time talking about my theories. I happen to be a Christian. I happen to be a libertarian, but I don’t spend a lot of my time there. I spend my time focusing on what are the practical skills that you need to learn to earn the amount of money that you want to earn. So as it relates to marketing, I had to teach him a system called VISM. Okay? VISM. And if you’re out there today, and you own a small business, write this down. VISM. V-I-S-M. Where there is no VISM, the people perish. Now the Bible says, Proverbs 29, 18, where there is no vision, the people perish. But again, where there is no VISM, your marketing will perish. V-I-S-M. So V, he’s got to get video reviews from clients that don’t hate him. Every time he successfully trains a dog, he has to get a video review from happy customers. I, he’s got to gather images of White Fang, Cujo, dogs, the Chihuahua from all the Taco Bell commercials. Every time he trains a dog, he needs to get a photo of that happy dog. Third, search engine. This guy faithfully records a podcast virtually every single day and transcribes it so he ranks top in Google. And M, he has to get more reviews. How many reviews? Never enough reviews. And you know why? Because my good friend Michael Levine, who was the former PR, think about this folks, he was the PR consultant of choice for Michael Jackson, Prince, and Nike at the same time. His clients were Nike, Prince, Michael Jackson, look him up, don’t believe me, Michael Levine. And he says, if you give someone a present and you give it to them in a Tiffany box, it’s likely that they’ll believe that the gift has a higher perceived value than if you gave it to them in no box or a box of less prestige. That’s not because the receiver of the gift is a fool, but instead because we live in a culture in which we gift wrap everything, our politicians, our corporate heads, our movie and TV stars, and even our toilet paper. So people are going to look you up right now. Everyone’s going to go to Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO Fire. It’s going to happen. Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire it’s gonna happen Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire it’s like a tractor beam pulling you in Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire you’re gonna go there and what you’re gonna do is you’re gonna have a first impression nothing can stop you from doing this you’re gonna have a first impression and you’re gonna look at the reviews and if the reviews seem real and seem realistic like Stephanie from Serene Clean or JT Lawson by the way JT wrote a book about his journey called it’s JT Lawson dot com but if you if they look real and you read the Google reviews and you watch the video reviews, at a certain point you go, wow, this dog trainer must know his stuff. Because puffery is where you make a claim, right? Puffery is where you make a claim, but when you can back it with facts and you can support what you’re saying with truth, it really is an incredible thing. Now that’s just 114th of what we teach our business coaching clients. We’re just talking about branding and I’m already getting sweaty, folks. I’m telling you, this is the kind of training that people don’t receive anywhere else. I mean this, if you go to JTLawson.com, JT called me and he said, hey, I think I want to write a book to document what I have learned. If you go to JTLawson.com, I’m doing this special for your listeners there at JLD. If any of your listeners buy a copy of his book at JTLawson.com. They are entered in for a chance to win a dream vacation to Hawaii. Anybody who buys that book is my way to kind of pay that forward. And he’s already having thousands of people every month visiting that website. People are buying that book and I’m telling you folks, branding is so important. Fire Nation, branding is everything and you can tell that Clay understands this. If you go to that website that I mentioned and you see that for 50 cents You’re gonna be able to get your dog assessed and they’re gonna come out and they’re gonna beat any Possible offer by a competition and they’re gonna give you a money-back guarantee. I mean think about these things I mean, this is unbelievable and you go to that website and you’re like wow, there’s branding. I get it I see it. Everything’s clear. The calls to action are there JT has made a big impact in your life, in your business. Pull one of the top things out of the myriad of things that he’s done for you that you want to talk about with Fire Nation right now. Yeah, well, one of the things is you will never drift to success. So you’re either going to live the life you design or you’re going to live the life you don’t by default. So you always have to have your F6 goal. So what is that? Faith, family, finance, fitness, fun, and friendships and you have to have that or you’re going to start to drift in one of those places. So that’s why you see these super jacked guys who have no money or you see these super wealthy people who aren’t in shape and you have to have those goals or else you’ll start to drift and that’s huge because my goals now I didn’t even know were possible. Fire Nation, this is the F6 podcast right there. I mean if there’s one thing that we can sum up that you and your life need to focus on, Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Holmes on Arutz Sheva Radio. Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Holmes on Arutz Sheva Radio. Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Holmes on Arutz Sheva Radio. fire. Chet Holmes, again, may he rest in peace, he once said, he said, the missing ingredient for nearly all of the 1,000 plus clients that he’s worked with directly to improve their businesses is pig-headed discipline and determination. And I think a lot of people, they say, well, I’m just not good at accounting. I’m not good at marketing. I’m just not good at sales. I’m not good at leading a team. I don’t know how to make an org chart. I don’t know how to make a workflow. I didn’t go to college for that. I’ve never done a podcast. I have no idea how to hire people. I would have no idea how to fire someone. What do I do? And that’s why our one-on-one business coaching program is turnkey, end-to-end. We don’t just focus on accounting, and we don’t just focus on marketing. We focus on all 14 aspects of your business. And because our average client is with us for over six years, so when you go to pmhokc.com, you’re going to see we grew this guy’s business from a million dollars to $18 million a year of business in three years. When you go to Shawhomes.com, I’m always citing my sources, this guy went from sixteen million a year to over a hundred and fifty million dollars a year of sales, Shawhomes.com. And I’ve got thousands of success stories, but you do the math, if the average client is with us for six years or longer, that means we have about one opening every ninety days or so. So if you’re out there today and you want to schedule a free consultation, go to EO Fire, go to Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash eofire. Or if you want to attend one of our in-person workshops, you can go to Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash eofire. And also if you’re out there and you’re in a tight spot, I grew up poor, you can actually name your price to attend our in-person business workshops. So if you’re stuck in a rut and you’re in a tight spot financially, if you have the mental capacity needed to get to Tulsa, Oklahoma, you can attend these events at my office at www.thrivetimeshow.com.

Douglas Goldstein, financial planner & investment advisor, interviewed Shep Huffman on Arutz Sheva Radio. am under the understanding to have what other people have, you have to be willing to do what they did to get it. So take you for instance, you had to do podcasts every single day and you did a ton of stuff to be able to live the life you’re now living, same with Clay and same with anyone. And the quickest way to change your life is to surround yourself by people who are doing what you want to do. So and then you have to be not just that, not just surround yourself, but also be humble enough and coachable enough to take what they’re telling you and implement what they’re doing and not be an ask-hole. So what do you say I said an ask-hole so that’s when you’re asking people for information but you’re not actually implementing it so you have to ask for it and then implement it as well. I love the word humble you said it I want to repeat it Fire Nation be humble be happy and Clay the mic is yours take us home. Yeah I’ll just say this I you know grew up without money built a lot of success my wife and I really enjoy the life. We live here with our five kids today. What I found is when I got to the top of, let’s say, mount success, for me it was when I was in a limousine driving to the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce to receive my Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2007 from the Small Business Administration. There were thousands and thousands of entrepreneurs considered, and I received Oklahoma’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award from the SBA. Everybody wanted to be my friend, and everybody wanted to know how to grow a successful company, but it was very rare that somebody was actually serious when they asked those questions. I told my wife, I’m very passionate about helping people that are serious about success. If you’re looking for like an epidermis surface level conversation, I don’t know that I’m the guy for you. But if you’re somebody that actually wants to grow your real business by selling real products to real customers in exchange for a real profit, that’s what we do, and that’s why I faithfully advertise our conferences on your program there. Because everybody who goes to Thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO Fire, and you met many of them in Tulsa, these are serious, diligent doers, and goal pursuers. These are real doctors, dentists, lawyers, cleaning services, real estate photographers, people that just want to know what are the keys to success, and we’re going to teach you those proven processes and those success strategies that I’ve used to grow thousands and thousands of successful companies and actually build dozens of businesses for myself. And again, you can see those documented irrefutable case studies right now by going to thrivetimeshow.com forward slash EO fire. Fire Nation for years and years, Clay has come on Entrepreneurs on Fire four times a year and dropped these value bombs with clients that have crushed it because of the systems, because of the processes. And like I mentioned, I’ve seen him in person, I’ve met him in person, I’ve met the Fire Nation listeners, you right now who are listening, who have attended these conferences, who have the results revealed to them as a result. And I just want to say, Thrivetimeshow.com slash EOFire. Show at www.firednation.com. If you have any questions or other problems, please post them in the comments. Visit you a fire.com type claim the search bar the show notes page will pop right up clay and JT I want to say thank you both for sharing your truth your knowledge your value with fire nation for that We salute you and we’ll catch you on the flip side Hey guys Luke Erickson here with the thrive time show as you can see behind me we’ve got all kinds of energy going on. People are starting to show up for the conference and it is hot in this place. We got grill guns over here, we’ve got people playing the drums, we’ve got a fire breather, and man people are so excited as they come in. Woo! Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the grill gun. Woo! Hi, I’m Bob Healy. I’m the inventor of the grill gun and the civi gun. Tim Tebow is coming to Tulsa, Oklahoma June 27th and 28th. We’ve been doing business conferences here since 2005. I’ve been hosting business conferences since 2005. And a lot of people, you know, have followed Tim Tebow’s football career on the field and off the field. And off the field, the guy’s been just as successful as he has been on the field. Now the big question is, JT, how does he do it? Well, they’re gonna have to come and find out because I don’t know. Well I’m just saying, Tim Tebow is going to teach us how he organizes his day, how he organizes his life, how he’s proactive with his faith, his family, his finances. He’s gonna walk us through his mindset that he brings into the gym, into business. It is going to be a blasty blast in Tulsa, Russia.

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.

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.

I learned at the Academy in Kingspoint, New York, acta non verba. Watch what a person does, not what they say. Whoa! Good morning, good morning, good morning. Harvard Keel Socket, the Rich Dad Radio Show. Today I’m broadcasting from Phoenix, Arizona, not Scottsdale, Arizona. They’re close, but they’re completely different worlds. And I have a special guest today. Definition of intelligence is if you agree with me, you’re intelligent. And so this gentleman is very intelligent. I’ve done this show before also, but very seldom do you find somebody who lines up on all counts. And so Mr. Clay Clark is a friend of a good friend, Eric Trump, but we’re also talking about money, bricks, and how screwed up the world can get in a few and a half hour. So Clay Clark is a very intelligent man, and there’s so many ways we could take this thing. But I thought, since you and Eric are close, Trump, what were you saying about what Trump can’t, what Donald, who is my age, and I can say or cannot say? What’s the- Well, first of all, I have to honor you, sir. I want to show you what I did to one of your books here. There’s a guy named Jeremy Thorn, who was my boss at the time. I was 19 years old, working at Faith Highway. I had a job at Applebee’s, Target, and DirecTV. And he said, have you read this book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad? And I said, no. And my father, may he rest in peace, he didn’t know these financial principles. So I started reading all of your books and really devouring your books. And I went from being an employee to self-employed to the business owner, to the investor. And I owe a lot of that to you. And I just wanted to take a moment to tell you, thank you so much for allowing me to achieve success. And I’ll tell you all about Eric Trump. I just want to tell you, thank you, sir, for changing my life. Well, not only that, Clay, you know, thank you, but you’ve become an influencer. You know, more than anything else, you’ve evolved into an influencer where your word has more and more power. So that’s why I congratulate you on becoming. Because as you know, there’s a lot of fake influencers out there too, or bad influencers. Yeah. So anyway, I’m glad you and I agree so much, and thanks for reading my books. Yeah. That’s the greatest thrill for me today. Not a thrill, but recognition is when people, young men especially, come up and say, I read your book, changed my life, I’m doing this, I’m doing this, I’m doing this. I learned at the Academy, King’s Point in New York, acta non verba, watch what a person does, not what they say and ryan when the amrita i went to a small private liberal arts college and i didn’t business and i didn’t learn anything like they’re teaching and learn when you work flows and learn stuff and not using and have been using for last nine years so what they’re teaching here is actually way better than what I got at business school and I went what was actually ranked as a very good business school. The linear workflow, the linear workflow for us and getting everything out on paper and documented is really important. We have workflows that are kind of all over the place to the having linear workflow and seeing that mapped out on multiple different boards it’s pretty awesome that’s really helpful for me. The atmosphere here is awesome I definitely just stared at the walls figuring out how to make my facility look like this place. This place rocks. It’s invigorating. The walls are super, it’s just very cool. The atmosphere is cool, the people are nice. It’s a pretty cool place to be. Very good learning atmosphere. I literally want to model it and steal everything that’s here at the conference. This is probably the best conference or seminar I’ve ever been to in over 30 years of business. You’re not bored. You’re awake and alive the whole time. It’s not pushy. They don’t try to sell you a bunch of things. I was looking to learn how to just get control of my life, my schedule, and just get control of the business. Planning your time, breaking it all down, making time for the aspects in your life, and just really implementing it and sticking with the program. It’s really lively, they’re pretty friendly, helpful, and very welcoming. I attended a conference a couple months back, and it was really the best business conference I’ve ever attended. At the workshop, I learned a lot about time management, really prioritizing what’s the most important. Biggest takeaways are, you know, you want to take a step-by-step approach to your business. Whether it’s marketing, you know, what are those three marketing tools that you want to use to human resources. Some of the most successful people and successful businesses in this town, their owners were here today because they wanted to know more from Clay, and I found that to be kind of fascinating. The most valuable thing that I’ve learned is diligence. That businesses don’t change overnight. It takes time and effort and you’ve got to go through the ups and downs of getting it to where you want to go. He actually gives you the road map out. I was stuck, didn’t know what to do and he gave me the road map out step by step. We’ve set up systems in the business that make my life much easier, allow me some time freedom. Here you can ask any question you want, they guarantee it will be answered. This conference motivates me and also give me a lot of knowledge and tools. I can see the marketing working. It’s just an approach that makes sense. Probably the most notable thing is just It’s just an approach that makes sense. Probably the most notable thing is just the income increase that we’ve had. It’s everyone’s super fun, it’s super motivating. I’ve been here before, but I’m back again because it motivated me. Your competition’s going to come eventually or try to pick up these tactics. So you better, if you don’t, somebody else will. I’m Rachel with Tip Top 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 Thrive15. 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. 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 fourteen and I took this beautiful photo. We worked with several different business coaches in the past and they were all about helping Ryan sell better and just teaching sales which is awesome but Ryan is a really great salesman so we didn’t need that we needed somebody to help us get everything that was in his head out into systems into manuals and scripts and actually build a team so now that we have systems in place we’ve gone from one to ten locations in only a year. In October 2016 we grew us 13 grams for the whole month. Right now it’s 2018, the month of October. It’s only the 22nd, we’ve already grossed a little over 50 grand for the whole month, and we still have time to go. We’re just thankful for you, thankful for Thrive and your mentorship, and we’re really thankful that you guys have helped us to grow a business that we run now instead of the business running us. Just thank you, thank you, thank you times a thousand. So we really just want to thank you Clay and thank you Vanessa for everything you’ve done, everything you’ve helped us with. We love you guys. If you decide to not attend the Drive Time workshop, you’re missing out on a great opportunity. The atmosphere at Clay’s office is very lively. You can feel the energy as soon as you walk through the door. And it really got me and my team very excited. If you decide not to come, you’re missing out on an opportunity to grow your business. Bottom line. I love the environment. I love the way that Clay presents and teaches. It’s a way that not only allows me to comprehend what’s going on, but he explains it in a way to where it just makes sense. The SEO optimization, branding, marketing, I’ve learned more in the last two days than I have the entire four years of college. The most valuable thing that I’ve learned, marketing is key, marketing is everything. Making sure that you’re branded accurately and clearly. How to grow a business using Google reviews and just how to optimize our name through our website also. Helpful with a lot of marketing, search engine optimization, helping us really rank high in Google. The biggest thing I needed to learn was how to build my foundation, how to systemize everything and optimize everything, build my SEO. How to become more organized, more efficient. How to make sure the business is really there to serve me, as opposed to me constantly being there for the business. New ways of advertising my business, as well as recruiting new employees. Group interviews, number one. Before we felt like we were held hostage by our employees. voice. Grouping Music completely eliminates that because you’re able to really find the people that would really be the best fit. Hands-on how to hire people, how to deal with human resources, a lot about marketing and overall just how to structure the business, how it works for me and also then how that can translate into working better for my clients. The most valuable thing I’ve learned here is time management. I like the one hour of doing your business is real critical if I’m going to grow and change. Play really teaches you how to navigate through those things and not only find freedom, but find your purpose in your business and find the purposes for all those other people that directly affect your business as well. Everybody. Everybody. Everyone. Everyone needs to attend the conference because you get an opportunity to see that it’s real.

Right now, here at the conference, we’ve broken into groups going over search engine optimization. I know for most of us, myself included, if you hear that term, you go, what is that? What does that mean? That’s too techy for me. Well, our experts are breaking it down for people so that you can clearly understand how to come up top in Google. It’s doable. It’s possible. Now we’re in the middle of a break and what we like to do is we like to give you as much tangible and relevant information from about the start of the hour for 45 minutes. Then we take approximately a 15 minute break to allow people to connect with other entrepreneurs around them, bathroom break, and also use this time to just really digest all of the good information that you’re receiving the whole time. Right behind me we’ve got Bob with his drill gun melting an ice sculpture. It is awesome. The ice sculpture represents our life, right? It’s here for a time but we all need to have the sense of urgency to implement the things that we’re learning so that we can make the most of the time that we have. We are outside. You can see a line behind me. What’s going on is that we partner with different companies to help them implement the proven systems over and over and over again. And one of those companies is Master Machine. And so what we like to do is partner with these companies to also help them give samples to other people as they come to the conference and truly get their name out. I just wanted to recap some of the amazing things that have happened today. We’ve had entrepreneurs like Paul Hood, the good CPAs. We’ve had Jill Donovan and Michael Levine come up. It just imparts so much wisdom and knowledge. We’ve got an incredible giveaway for one of our teamies. Hey there, Thrive Nation. One of the things that we love most about our business conferences is that we want every entrepreneur to leave with their questions answered. So what we do is we let them put the questions up on the board here so that they can ask their specific questions and Clay will not end the conference until every question is answered. Behind us, Clay Kilar is answering all the different questions that entrepreneurs have brought to the conference. Whenever someone comes here and starts to hear this information, especially for the first time, it just brings about so much anticipation of wanting to actually implement the proven systems and processes. And so the lay always wants to make sure that he answers all of their questions so that they are the most set up to be able to go home and start implementing. If you have any questions, email us at info at drivetimeshare.com. Hello, I’m Wes Carter. I’m one of the shareholders at Winters & Keen. My favorite thing that Thrive has helped me accomplish here in our firm is thinking a little bit outside the box. They do SEO, they do printing, they help us with a lot of things from the day-to-day marketing for the firm, but they also help us think of things that as attorneys we probably wouldn’t normally think of that help us market our services to our clients. One of the things I love about working with Thrive is that they make it enjoyable to actually do work with them. It’s not dry, it’s usually fun, but it’s always very enjoyable and practical. They give me things and ideas that I can put into place. It’s not just some theoretical spiel that they give me. We get practical steps that we work on together to do my job better. So me personally, I would easily recommend Thrive 15 services to my friends, my families. I recommend them to my clients. I think they do a good job. They’re passionate. They care about their clients. And I think it’s actually a valuable service they provide to people that are in the business world. My name is Jeff Thomas. I’m originally from Atlanta, Georgia. It’s all about getting to the grindstones. It is about putting the… It’s one thing to have a specific vision or a dream, but knowledge without application isn’t knowledge at all. It’s a… that’s nothing. The atmosphere is very lively. Everybody that is working for Clay is very upbeat and not tired, not sluggish, not complaining, not whining. They don’t have anything to do with those types of characteristics. It’s all about getting to the grind and having fun while you’re doing it. I haven’t actually been to any conferences in the past, but what I will say from what I’ve seen on YouTube and what from other friends have told me is this isn’t like a motivational kind of thing such as you know, hoo-hoo, rah-rah, it gets you motivated, but it’s like practical steps that if you do take them, which most people aren’t willing to do, then you will grow and you will achieve the specific things that you want. Well, for one thing, I will say that this isn’t necessarily for everyone. So if you’re not willing to work, this isn’t for you. But I will say that if you are willing to work and you know you’re just getting started but you have actually taken a step in that direction then this will actually help you grow further exponentially than you could ever imagine. My name is Taylor Hall. I’m the general manager of the Tulsa Oilers professional hockey team. You know our goal every night here at the BOK Center is to try to fill the seats with with lots of people And create a you know an exciting environment So when somebody comes to a game they want to come back Working with clay and the staff at thrive They’ve really helped you know us in many many ways Website and graphic design and video production and a lot of things that go along and a lot of businesses including ours doesn’t have a staff or a full-time you know videographer or graphic designer but the biggest thing that we noticed was the needle mover. More sales, more attendance, more successes in business. We had a record year last season working with Clay for the first time. Our average attendance is higher than it’s ever been so there’s a lot of really cool things that we did and they worked. That’s the nice thing about working with Clay and the team over there. It’s just not one person, you get the entire team. If you need video design and editing and production, they’ve got that. If you need graphic design, if you need some coaching, your salespeople and call scripts, PR, they offer all that. Clay was instrumental in helping guiding us and getting us on the right track so that you know we could you know really you know raise the raise the bar and become ultra successful so it’s been an amazing experience for us. My name is Kaitlin. I own a tumbling sim called Justice Tumbling Companies. Working with Clay is so helpful. It’s being diligent with everything and making sure we execute our goals and really make things happen. It’s fun, it’s tight, it really gets you energized and going. It makes you really want to work to get the momentum going, to really just like get that buzz, really give you the energy to get up and make it happen. I’m Bob D. Lamp. I’m in the charcoal grilling industry and the name of my business is Grillblazer. How will I apply what I’ve learned so far into my business. I’m actually a client of the Tri15, and I learn so much from what I’m learning at this conference and my regular weekly attendance that it’s helping me establish the business and get it off the ground. Today’s presentation style is just blatant disregard for what anybody wants. He just has fun. It’s him. Everything that you see is authentically Clay. It’s a great deal of fun. Everybody enjoys it. They know when you walk in they think they’re coming into a carnival, and frankly they are. It’s just great fun. There’s not another conference like it. You don’t go to a carnival atmosphere and learn what they do here at the Pride Conference. It’s great. The reason people should attend at least one of these conferences, the business conferences. And everybody’s fed an entire line about the way you should run a business, but until you actually experience running a business, which is, candidly, what you learn here, how to run a business, you don’t know what you’re doing. My name is Tyler Hastings, and this is my wife, Rachel. And our company is Delrick Research, out of New Orleans. During our time working with Thrive, we’ve had numerous successes. When we first started, we were working with one physician. We had one research site, and we were seeing, on average, you know, between 10 and 15 patients a week. Since working with Thrive in the last 18 months, we now have four research sites. We work with over five physicians, and on average, we’re now seeing over 60 patients per week. Recently, we’ve been the top enroller worldwide in seven studies, which is just incredible considering where we were, you know, two years ago, 18 months ago. Thrive really differs from the other conferences that we’ve been to and the other kind of programs that we’ve been through because they actually really practice what they preach and they implement the same systems and the processes that they teach you about. And they give you real life examples that really work for them and show you with the training how to implement that yourself. For example, Tyler and I actually got the opportunity to come out to Tulsa and we were fortunate enough that the Thrive team took us out to some of the businesses that they own and we really got to see in real life, real time, some of the systems and processes and it was just incredible. A real life example of some of the businesses and the things that they’re implementing. Having a coach is important to us. They act as not only an accountability factor, but they’re someone we can talk to on a daily basis as we go through the problems of running a business that inevitably come up. They always understand what we’re going through and they’re always there to help us or guide us through the problems that we experience. The best part of our experience working with Thrive has just been seeing our relationship grow. So at each step, as our business grows, they have something else to provide us with. They’ve got the resources, whether it be marketing, graphic design, website development, or even in the accounting practices, maybe we need a new insurance policy. If they have someone they can connect us with, or they have the direct resource we need to speak with for any of the problems we face. If someone’s thinking about signing up for the coaching program, I would highly recommend that they call in for a free 30-minute coaching session and see exactly what the team can do for you. Just speak with someone, let them know what you’re going through, and I think you’ll find that regardless of what you need, there’s someone there that can help you. It’s very real and raw. Like, it just gets real down to the bone of it and the real purpose of it. There’s no, like, fluffy vagueness about it, you know. So, he really gets to the point. I’m always reminded about how important it is to be intentional and to really pay attention to how you schedule your time and really honor it. Because whatever good schedule gets done, that’s what he said from Lee Cockrell himself. Just constantly hearing that and getting reminded helps me to reinforce that in my own life. It always helps to get an outside perspective, and especially And especially from a guy that’s grown so many multi-million dollar businesses, it doesn’t hurt. So. My name is Nick Guajardo. I heard about the Thrive Time Show workshop through Andy Mathren. He is my, Andy Mathren and Larry Montgomery, they’re my bosses at Restore Home Health and my role is pretty much to bring in business. So I was hoping to learn kind of the sales process on top of just kind of the responsibilities and help understand what it looks like on the SEO side and just kind of an all around what it looks like to own a business because that’s something I want to do in the future for sure. How I would describe the atmosphere here at Thrive is high energy, great professionalism, great people. It’s just it’s a place you definitely want to visit and yeah. Plays delivery style, humorous, professional, hilarious. Just he does it I haven’t seen someone do it better. So he does a great job. Most valuable thing I’ve learned so far, a lot of it has been extremely valuable. But one thing that’s always really stuck out to me is learning the SEO stuff. I mean, that is, I think, things you don’t really even think about, and then you hear it, and you think you know it, but you don’t know it. So I feel like that was the most valuable. Well, they’re missing out on just what comes down to just basic applications to be a business owner. I mean, I feel like it’s like an absolute necessity, you know, to come here and learn the ins and outs and maybe come here once or twice if they, you know, take good notes, that kind of thing. Why? So just it’s the experience here and what you can learn, like absolutely. So marketing and SEO seemed like something that would be very scary, but then in the way that Clay and his team described it, it became very clear and concise, and something that’s very accessible to any business owner. I’ve learned a lot about marketing at this conference, and a lot about business management and HR, really everything, the key components of anybody’s business, they’re going to give you the best tools to be successful in it. So most workshops or conferences can be really boring, really one-note, or they just seem so theatrical that it’s a joke and it’s not even giving you the tools that you need, or that you came there for. But here, it’s still high energy, it’s still fun, everything’s to the point, but it’s very professional, and, yeah, you’re missing out on easy steps to use in your business that are very accessible and very clear. My name is Abigail McCarter. The best thing I’ve learned so far is definitely like organization, schedule wise, always keeping a to-do list, keeping your calendar organized. I’m kind of all over the place, so that’s always good to know. Clay’s presentation style and the atmosphere is electric. It’s so energetic, it’s so fun. Clay’s hilarious, but also knows a ton. So it’s just really great all around. This conference is much different than any other conference I’ve gone to. Again, because it’s fun. Like a lot of other conferences, it’s like really quiet, really cold, and you just kind of get bored. But this one, you’re always engaged. You’re always learning something. And the staff is amazing. They’re always super helpful. So it’s just been really great. My name’s Clint Howard. We’re a personal training and fitness training facility. Oh, wow. I’m learning a ton. Like this morning so far, it’s been search engine optimization. So really, just the importance of being at the top of Google, how Google works, and why it’s so important to go out and get video reviews and testimonials and getting Google reviews. And so all those things we can take back and really apply that like immediately. So it’s really cool to see not only how to do it, but really the relevance and importance of it in the long-term strategy of your business. Now, it’s amazing actually the way in this morning and yesterday I was walking in the front entrance, and actually me, I go to a lot of seminars, I go to a lot of conferences, massive ones. I’ve been doing that since I was like 22 years old, so gosh, almost 20 years now. And this is by far the most entertaining, not only the content, the content is amazing, but Clay and you guys did a great job of mixing in entertainment where it’s fun, it’s fresh, it’s lively, you never get bored. And I heard a study one time that the reason that children learn so much quicker is because it’s fun, learning is fun. And so obviously play is nailed that, where it’s very fun to be here and keeps you awake, keeps you energized, so have a blast. Yeah, I think any business owner or someone that wants to own a business or considering owning and starting a business should definitely come. I know that I was referred here by friends of mine and clients of mine and I’ve referred other people. Again, just to understand what it takes to make a business successful, to have a good time, obviously, you know, like I was just saying, have fun, and network. There’s a lot of people here you can learn from and there’s a lot of breaks you can talk to other people. So I think this is a must attend for anybody that owns a business and really wants to start this. My name is Jamie Fagel. I’m with Jameson Fine Cabinetry. I heard about the conference through Andrew. He’s the coach that I deal with. He’s a great coach. He’s a great coach. He’s a great coach. He’s a great coach. He’s a great coach. He’s a great coach. He’s a great coach. He’s a great coach. He’s a great coach. He’s a great coach. He’s a great coach. My name’s Jamie Fagel, I’m with Jameson Fine Cabinetry. I heard about the conference through Andrew, he’s the coach that I deal with here at Thrive. The most valuable piece I found even working with Andrew, but it’s been solidified when it came here, was you gotta actually do the things that they’re telling you. With no action, you’re not gonna get anything from it. I would highly recommend this to almost anybody in business today. I have recommended it to some of my other business partners. It’s phenomenal, it’s really something that, if you wanna start a business, the only way of doing things is gone. This is what you got to do. It’s the only way it’ll work. Hey, this is Charles and Amber Kola. We’re the owners of Kola Fitness. The way we’re able to do that is working with Clay for the last three years, he has really readjusted our thinking and taught us that our business is here to serve us and by doing that we’re able to live the lifestyle we want and take off on a random vacation last minute. We had totally planned on being at the conference so wish we could be there and meet all of you. We know you’re having a great time. Yes, Clay in the last three years has helped us build all the necessary systems, checklists, workflows, task lists, time blocks, audits that are always running and the right capable lieutenants to keep track of all that so that you too can get time freedom, financial freedom, and that’s what we have done and Clay has helped us do. We’ve got multiple companies in multiple states and they’re all doing very well getting ready to go to more locations in this next year and Co-Authenticist has a really big future. We’re teaming up with a couple other groups and we should scale the company here shortly. Hopefully we’ll open like 50 locations in the next 10 years. So but yeah we’re on the way we’re gonna probably more than double our company or maybe triple our company in the next eight to nine months and it’s just awesome. God is working in our business and we’re making Jesus and changing lives. We’re a strong Christian company that focuses on making Jesus famous and changing lives in the fitness field and this is Charles and Hammer Cola. Thank you Thrive. Hit your action items. We love you guys. We wish we were there. You guys have a wonderful day. Bye-bye. My name is Jennifer Johnson. I’m in the pest control industry and also weed control and fertilization. And my business is Platinum Pest and Lawn. Some of the things that… I’ll be able to apply a lot of the things that I’ve learned in our business because this is not my first conference. And so a lot of the things that we learned we’ve put into place. And now we’re doing the next level of refining the processes for just the different concepts. And so it’s getting better and better. Things that were just big processes before, we have the foundation laid. And now we’re able to make it better and better than hearing different things now that we’ve implemented things. And so we can just make it even better, implementing it in our own business. Clay’s presentation and the atmosphere is very exciting and fun. It keeps you awake. It makes it interesting. You have a lot of information, but if it’s not going to be entertaining, your brain is going to tune it out. But Play makes it just entertaining enough that you retain what you learn. Lots of rhyming and catchy things so that you remember stuff. What makes this conference different than other workshops or conferences that I’ve been to is that there’s a lot of people here in my same situation. We’re all, most of us are pretty small businesses wanting to improve and we want real life information and something that will work and that’s attainable and not just some crazy magic formula but actual action items that we can implement in our business and actually see a difference. Everyone should attend a drive-type business conference, whether you’re a business owner or not. A, if you’re a business owner, it has practical applications that you can apply to so many different parts of your business. And then you need to come back for more so that you can keep doing more of the wonderful things that you learn. But secondly, I am also a mom of three kids. And a lot of the concepts can actually be applied to home, like getting routines and getting, setting systems at home has just seriously made a huge difference in my life at home. So I’ve been able to improve our business, but I’ve also been able to improve things at home. And so that’s why everyone should come, no matter what your station is in life. My name is Nolan Q. I’m originally from San Francisco, California. The industry that I’m in is financial services. I’ve learned a ton so far, but what I can best apply from this conference is the opportunity, that hunger to go out there and make a big difference in my industry. Clay’s presentation style is amazing. He’s got an endless amount of energy. It’s contagious. And yeah, by being here, I really do want to go back and be able to face all the adversity that the industry has. Yeah, this conference, the thing that makes it different is that it’s special because it has a unique set of individuals that all share that same energy. I think he picked it as dragon energy, but yeah, that’s what we do. Everyone should come to a multiple, but their first would be very special. Yeah, you’re welcome with a lot of enthusiasm. That’ll last for a long time. My name is Gabriella Bruce. Our business is HDS Electric. My husband’s the owner, but I’m involved with that, so we’re an electric company. Well, here at the conference, they talk a lot about consistency, and so just staying consistent with different things in the business. I feel like applying that to our business model will really help us grow. The atmosphere is very positive, uplifting, and it’s very fun and energetic. And so it gets you pumped and it gets you excited and it encourages you to do big things. I probably how real they are. They tell you up front what you need to do and what’s like a no-go. And so conferences are, they kind of sugar coat things. So I like how real they are here. I think it’ll definitely, if you want your business to grow, I think this will be a great experience and then not only that, it’ll encourage you and inform you on so many things you don’t think about on a daily basis. Hey, I’m Ryan Wimpey. I’m originally from Tulsa, born and raised here. I’ve definitely learned a lot about life design and making sure the business serves you. The linear workflow for us in getting everything out on paper and documented is 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, it’s pretty awesome. That’s really helpful for me. The atmosphere here is awesome. I definitely just stared at the walls figuring out how to make my facility look like this place. This place rocks. It’s invigorating, the walls are super, it’s just very cool. The atmosphere is cool, the people are nice, it’s a pretty cool place to be. Very good learning atmosphere. I literally want to model it and steal everything that’s here at 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, 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 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 their 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 it was great information and then they upsold us like half the conference and I don’t wanna 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 wanna 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 in 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 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 fourteen, and I took this beautiful photo. We worked with several different business coaches in the past, and they were all about helping Ryan sell better and just teaching sales, which is awesome, but Ryan is a really great salesman. So we didn’t need that. We needed somebody to help us get everything that was in his head out into systems, into manuals and scripts and actually build a team. So now that we have systems in place, we’ve gone from one to 10 locations in only a year. In October 2016, we grossed 13 grand for the whole month. Right now it’s 2018, the month of October. It’s only the 22nd, we’ve already grossed a little over 50 grand for the whole month and we still have time to go. We’re just thankful for you, thankful for Thrive and your mentorship and we’re really thankful that you guys have helped us to grow a business that we run now instead of the business running us. Just thank you, thank you, thank you, times a thousand. So we really just wanna thank you, Clay, and thank you, Vanessa, for everything you’ve done, everything you’ve helped us with. We love you guys. Hello, my name is Charles Colaw with Colaw Fitness. Today I want to tell you a little bit about Clay Clark and how I know Clay Clark. Clay Clark has been my business coach since 2017. He’s helped us grow from two locations to now six locations. We’re planning to do seven locations in seven years and then franchise. Clay has done a great job of helping us navigate anything that has to do with running the business, building the systems, the checklists, the workflows, the audits, how to navigate lease agreements, how to buy property, how to work with brokers and builders. This guy is just amazing. This kind of guy has worked in every single industry. He’s written books with like Lee Crockrell, head of Disney with the 40,000 cast members. He’s friends with like Mike Lindell. He does Reawaken America tours where he does these tours all across the country where 10,000 or more people show up to some of these tours. On the day-to-day he does anywhere from about 160 companies. He’s at the top. He has a team of business coaches, videographers, and graphic designers, and web developers. They run 160 companies every single week. Think of this guy with a team of business coaches running 160 companies. In the weekly he’s running 160 companies. Every 6-8 weeks he’s doing reawaken America tours. Every 6-8 weeks he’s also doing business conferences where 200 people show up and he teaches people a 13 step proven system that he’s done and worked with billionaires helping them grow their companies. I’ve seen guys from start ups go from start ups to being multi millionaires. Teaching people how to get time freedom and financial freedom through the system. Critical thinking, document creation, making it, putting it into, organizing everything in their head to building into a franchisable, scalable business. Like one of his businesses has like 500 franchises. That’s just one of the companies or brands that he works with. So amazing guy. Elon Musk, kind of like smart guy. He kind of comes off sometimes as socially awkward, but he’s so brilliant and he’s taught me so much. When I say that, like Clay is like, he doesn’t care what people think when you’re talking to him. He cares about where you’re going in your life and where he can get you to go. That’s what I like him most about him. He’s like a good coach. A coach isn’t just making you feel good all the time. A coach is actually helping you get to the best of you. Clay has been an amazing business coach. Through the course of that we became friends. My most impressive thing was when I was shadowing him one time. We went into a business deal and listened to it. I got to shadow and listen to it. When we walked out, I knew that he could make millions on the deal and they were super excited about working with him. He told me, he’s like, I’m not going to touch it. I’m going to turn it down because he knew it was going to harm the common good of people in the long run. The guy’s integrity just really wowed me. It brought tears to my eyes that this guy, his highest desire was to do what’s right. And anyways, just an amazing man. So anyways, impacted me a lot. He’s helped navigate. Anytime I’ve gotten nervous or worried about how to run the company or navigating competition and an economy that’s like, I remember we got closed down for three months. He helped us navigate on how to stay open, how to get back open, how to just survive through all the COVID shutdowns, lockdowns, because our clubs were all closed for three months and you have $350,000 of bills you’ve got to pay and we have no accounts receivable. He helped us navigate that and of course we were conservative enough that we could afford to take that on for a period of time. But he was a great man, I’m very impressed with him. So Clay, thank you for everything you’re doing. And I encourage you, if you haven’t ever worked with Clay, work with Clay, he’s gonna help magnify you. And there’s nobody I have ever met that has the ability to work as hard as he does. He probably sleeps four, maybe six hours a day, and literally the rest of the time he’s working. And he can outwork everybody in the room every single day. And he loves it. So anyways, this is Charles Kola with Kola Fitness. Thank you, Clay. And anybody out there that’s wanting to work with Clay, it’s a great, great opportunity to ever work with him. So, you guys have a blessed one. This is Charles Kola. We’ll see you guys, bye-bye. Hi, I’m Aaron Antus with Shaw Homes. I first heard about Clay through a mortgage lender here in town who had told me what a great job he had been doing for them, and I actually noticed he was driving a Lamborghini all of a sudden, so I was willing to listen. In my career, I’ve sold a little over $800 million in real estate. So honestly, I thought I kind of knew everything about marketing and homes, and then I met Clay, and my perception of what I knew and what I could do definitely changed. After doing 800 million in sales over a 15-year career, I really thought I knew what I was doing. I’ve been managing a large team of salespeople for the last 10 years here with Shaw Homes and I mean we’ve been a company that’s been in business for 35 years. We’ve become one of the largest builders in the Tulsa area and that was without Clay. So when I came to know Clay, I really thought, man, there’s not much more I need to know, but I’m willing to listen. The interesting thing is our internet leads from our website has actually in a four month period of time has gone from somewhere around 10 to 15 leads in a month to 180 internet leads in a month. Just from the few things that he’s shown us how to implement that I honestly probably never would have come up with on my own. So I got a lot of good things to say about the system that Clay put in place with us. And it’s just been an incredible experience. I am very glad that we met and had the opportunity to work with Clay. So the interaction with the team and with Clay on a weekly basis is honestly very enlightening. One of the things that I love about Clay’s perspective on things is that he doesn’t come from my industry. He’s not somebody who’s in the home building industry. I’ve listened to all the experts in my field. Our company has paid for me to go to seminars, international builder shows, all kinds of places where I’ve had the opportunity to learn from the experts in my industry. But the thing that I found working with Clay is that he comes from such a broad spectrum of working with so many different types of businesses that he has a perspective that’s difficult for me to gain because I get so entrenched in what I do I’m not paying attention to what other leading industry experts are doing, and Clay really brings that perspective for me. It is very valuable time every week when I get that hour with him. From my perspective, the reason that any business owner who’s thinking about hooking up with Thrive needs to definitely consider it is because the results that we’ve gotten in a very short period of time are honestly monumental. It has really exceeded my wildest expectation of what he might be able to do. I came in skeptical because I’m very pragmatic, and as I’ve gone through the process over just a few months, I’ve realized it’s probably one of the best moves we’ve ever made. I think a lot of people probably feel like they don’t need a business or marketing consultant because they maybe are a little bit prideful and like to think they know everything. I know that’s how I felt coming in. I mean, we’re a big company that’s definitely one of the largest in town. And so we kind of felt like we knew what we were doing. And I think for a lot of people, they let their ego get in the way of listening to somebody that might have a better or different perspective than theirs. I would just really encourage you if you’re thinking about working with Clay, I mean, the thing is, it’s month to month. Go give it a try and see what happens. I think in the 35 year history of Shaw Homes, this is probably the best thing that’s happened to us and I know if you give them a shot, I think you’ll feel the same way. I know for me, the thing I would have missed out on if I didn’t work with Clay is I would have missed out on literally an 1,800% increase in our internet leads. Going from 10 a month to 180 a month, that would have been a huge financial decision to just decide not to give it a shot. I would absolutely recommend Clay Clark to anybody who’s thinking about working with somebody in marketing. I would skip over anybody else you were thinking about and I would go straight to Clay and his team. I guarantee you’re not going to regret it because we sure haven’t. My name is Danielle Sprick and I am the founder of D. Sprick Realty Group here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After being a stay-at-home mom for 12 years and my three kids started school and they were in school full-time, I was at a crossroads and trying to decide, what do I want to do? My degree and my background is in education, but after being a mom and staying home and all of that, I just didn’t have a passion for it like I once did. My husband suggested real estate. He’s a home builder. So real estate and home building go hand in hand and we just rolled with it. I love people. I love working with people. I love the building relationships. But one thing that was really difficult for me was the business side of things, the processes and the advertising and marketing. I knew that I did not have what I needed to make that what it should be. So I reached out to Clay at that time and he and his team have been extremely instrumental in helping us build our brand, help market our business, our agents, the homes that we represent, everything that we do is a direct line from Clay and his team and all that they’ve done for us. We launched our brokerage, our real estate brokerage, eight months ago. And in that time, we’ve gone from myself and one other agent to just this week, we signed on our 16th agent. We have been blessed with the fact that we right now have just over 10 million in pending transactions. Three years ago, I never would have even imagined that I would be in this role that I’m in today, building a business, having 16 agents, but I have to give credit where credit’s due. And Clay and his team and the business coaching that they’ve offered us has been huge. It’s been instrumental in what we’re doing. Don’t ever limit your vision. When you dream big, big things happen. I started a business because I couldn’t work for anyone else. I do things my way. I do what I think is in the best interest of the patient. I don’t answer to insurance companies. I don’t answer to large corporate organizations. I answer to my patient and that’s it. My thought when I opened my clinic was I can do this all myself. I don’t need additional outside help in many ways. I mean I went to medical school, I can figure this out. But it was a very, very steep learning curve. Within the first six months of opening my clinic, I had a $63,000 embezzlement. I lost multiple employees. Clay helped us weather the storm of some of the things that are just a lot of people experience, especially in the medical world. He was instrumental in helping with the specific written business plan. He’s been instrumental in hiring good quality employees, using the processes that he outlines for getting in good talent, which is extremely difficult. He helped me in securing the business loans. He helped me with web development and search engine optimization. We’ve been able to really keep a steady stream of clients coming in because they found us on the web. With everything that I encountered, everything that I experienced, I quickly learned it is worth every penny to have someone in your team that can walk you through and even avoid some of the pitfalls that are almost invariable in starting your own business. I’m Dr. Chad Edwards and I own Revolution Health and Wellness Clinic. I want people are going crazy. Michael Levine, writer of many many PR books, the man who represents people like Michael Jackson, Arbor Streisand, George Bush, Stanley Parker, speaking to people here at our conference, talking about branding. The greatest branding experts alive today is here on conference talking to entrepreneurs. We just wrapped up day one. It was incredible. We had some remarkable speakers. Michael Levine. We just finished with a lady named Jill Donovan who owns a company called Rustic Cuff. Talking about the power of the Dream 100. I cannot wait to see what tomorrow holds. tomorrow hold. Day 2, follow me. I tell you what, people are so excited to be here for Day 2. It is going to be incredible. Cannot wait to see what today has in store. Right now, here at the conference, we’ve broken into groups going over search engine optimization. I know for most of us, myself included, if you hear that term, you go, what is that? What does that mean? That’s too techy for me. Well, our experts are breaking it down for people so that you can clearly understand how to come up top in Google. It’s doable. It’s possible. Now we’re in the middle of a break, and what we like to do is we like to give you as much tangible and relevant information from about the start of the hour for 45 minutes.

Right behind me we’ve got Bob with his grill gun, melting an ice sculpture. It is awesome. The ice sculpture represents our life, right? It’s here for a time, but we all need to have the sense of urgency to implement the things that we’re learning So that we can make the most of the time that we have We are outside you can see a line behind me What’s going on is that we partner with different companies to help them implement the proven systems over and over and over again And one of those companies is Master Machine. And so what we like to do is partner with these companies to also help them give samples to other people as they come to the conference and truly get their name out. I just wanted to recap some of the amazing things that have happened today. We’ve had entrepreneurs like Paul Hood with Hood CPAs. We’ve had Jill Donovan and Michael Levine come up and just impart so much wisdom and knowledge. We’ve got an incredible giveaway for one of our TV’s. Hey there Thrive Nation. One of the things that we love most about our business conferences is that we want every entrepreneur to leave with their questions answered. So what we do is we let them put the questions up on the board here so that they can ask their specific questions and Clay will not end the conference until every question is answered. My name is Clay Clark and I’m answering all the different questions that entrepreneurs have brought to the conference. Whenever someone comes here and starts to hear this information, especially for the first time, it just brings about so much anticipation of wanting to actually implement the proven systems and processes. And so Clay always wants to make it so that he answers all of those questions so that they are the most set up for success. So that we can go home and start implementing.

Once I saw what they were doing I knew I had to get here at the conference. This is probably the best conference or seminar I’ve ever been to in over 30 years in business. You’re not bored, you’re awake and alive the whole time. It’s not pushy, they don’t try to sell you a bunch of things. I was looking to learn how to just get control of my life, my schedule, and just get control of business. Planning your time, breaking it all down, making time for the F6 in your life, and just really implementing it and sticking with the program. It’s really lively, they’re pretty friendly, helpful, and very welcoming. I attended a conference a couple months back, and it was really the best business conference I’ve ever attended. At the workshop, I learned a lot about time management, really prioritizing what’s the most important. The biggest takeaways are, you know, you want to take a step-by-step approach to your business, whether it’s marketing, you know, what are those three marketing tools that you want to use, to human resources. Some of the most successful people and successful businesses in this town, their owners were here today because they wanted to know more from Clay and I found that to be kind of fascinating. The most valuable thing that I’ve learned is diligence, that businesses don’t change overnight. It takes time and effort and you got to go through the ups and downs of getting it to where you want to go. He actually gives you the road map out. I was stuck, didn’t know what to do, and he gave me the road map out step by step. We’ve set up systems in the business that make my life much easier, allow me some time freedom. Here you can ask any question you want, they guarantee it will be answered. This conference motivates me and also gives me a lot of knowledge and tools. It’s up to you to do this. Everybody can do these things. There’s stuff that everybody knows, but if you don’t do it, nobody else can do it for you. I can see the marketing working, and it’s just an approach that makes sense. Probably the most notable thing is just the income increase that we’ve had. Everyone’s super fun and super motivating. I’ve been here before, but I’m back again because it motivates me. Your competition is going to come eventually or try to pick up these tactics. So you better, if you don’t, somebody else will. If you decide to not attend the Thrive Time workshop, you’re missing out on a great opportunity. The atmosphere of Plays Offense is very lively. You can feel the energy as soon as you walk through the door. And it really got me and my team very excited. If you decide not to come, you’re missing out on an opportunity to grow your business. I love the environment. I love the way that not only allows me to comprehend what’s going on, but he explains it in a way to where it just makes sense. The SEO optimization, branding, marketing. I’ve learned more in the last two days than I have the entire four years of college. The most valuable thing that I’ve learned, marketing is key, marketing is everything. Making sure that you’re branded accurately and clearly. How to grow a business using Google reviews and then just how to optimize our name through our website also. Helpful with a lot of marketing, search engine optimization, helping us really rank high in Google. The biggest thing I needed to learn was how to build my foundation, how to systemize everything and optimize everything, build my SEO. How to become more organized, more efficient. How to make sure the business is really there to serve me, as opposed to me constantly being there for the business. New ways of advertising my business, as well as recruiting new employees. Group interviews completely eliminate that because you’re able to really find the people that would really be the best fit. Hands-on how to hire people, how to deal with human resources, a lot about marketing and overall just how to structure the business, how it works for me and also then how that can translate into working better for my clients. The most valuable thing I’ve learned here is time management. I like the one hour of doing your business is real critical if I’m going to grow and change. Play really teaches you how to navigate through those things and not only find freedom, but find your purpose in your business and find the purposes for all those other people that directly affect your business as well. Everybody needs to attend the conference because you get an opportunity to see that it’s real.
