Hey, I’m Ryan Wimpey. I went to a small private liberal arts college and got a degree in business and I didn’t learn anything like they’re teaching here. I didn’t learn linear workflows. I learned stuff that I’m not using and I haven’t been using for the last nine years. So what they’re teaching here is actually way better than what I got at business school. And I went what was actually ranked as a very good business school. The linear workflow, the linear workflow for us in getting everything out on paper and documented is really important. We have workflows that are kind of all over the place. Having linear workflow and seeing that mapped out on multiple different boards is pretty awesome. That’s really helpful for me. The atmosphere here is awesome. I definitely just stared at the walls, figuring out how to make my facility look like this place. This place rocks. It’s invigorating. The walls are super, it’s just very cool. The atmosphere is cool. The people are nice. It’s a pretty cool place to be. Very good learning atmosphere. I literally want to model it and steal everything that’s here at this facility and basically create it just on our business side. 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 Canine. 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 two 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 want to thank you, Clay, and thank you, Vanessa, for everything you’ve done, everything you’ve helped us with. We love you guys. All right. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I’m gonna bring up my good friend, Ryan Wimpy, my good friend Ryan Wimpy, and his dog, Odin, this dog has the ability to eat me, so I’m sort of concerned. I’ll pass the mic to you, and Odin, you can have your own mic if you want, whatever you want Odin. Okay. Hi, I’m Ryan Wimpy. And I’m Rachel Wimpy. And the name of our business is Tip Top Training. Our business is a dog training business. We help people with behavioral issues and teach their dog how to listen. When I was learning to become a dog trainer, we didn’t learn anything about internet marketing or advertising or anything at all. Just dog training. And that’s what’s so great about working with Clay and his team because they do it all for us. So that we can focus on our passion and that’s training dogs. Clay and his team here, they’re so enthusiastic, their energy is off the charts, never a dull moment, very bright. We’ve been working with Clay and his team for the last five months, two of which has been our biggest months ever. One, our biggest gross by 35%. Clay’s helped us make anything from brochures, two stickers, new business cards, new logos, scripts for phones, scripts for email, scripts for text message, scripting for everything. How I would describe the weekly meetings with Clay and his team are awesome. They’re so effective. It’s worth every minute. Things get done, we’ll ask for things like different flyers and they’re done before our hour is up. So it’s just awesome, extremely effective. If you don’t use Clay and his team, you’re probably going to be pulling your hair out, or you’re going to spend half of your time trying to figure out the online marketing game and produce your own flyers and marketing materials, print materials, all the stuff like that. You’re really losing a lot as far as lost productivity and lost time. Not having a professional do it has a real sense of urgency and actually knows what they’re doing when you already have something that’s your core focus that you already know how to do. You would also be missing out with all the time and financial freedom that you would have working with Clay and his team. We would recommend Clay and his team to other business owners because they need to be working on their business, not just trying to figure out the online game, which is complex and changing daily. So, no one has a marketing team too. Most people don’t, they can’t afford one, and their local web guy or local person that they know probably can’t do everything that a whole team and a whole floor of people can do in hours and not just weeks or months. There’s a definite sense of urgency with Clay and his team. I used to have to ride other web people really, I mean really ride them to get stuff done and stuff is done so fast here and people there’s a real sense of urgency to get it done. My name is Rachel Wimpy and I’m originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I’ve really, I mean I’ve learned so much, my head, I feel like it’s about to explode, but a lot that I’ve taken away from it is the working on your business instead of in your business because I have the tendency to just want to do it all myself and that’s one thing that Clay really teaches is to have systems in place that you don’t have to be there running it and your business can actually run without you, it’s just awesome. It’s like a entrepreneur playground. It’s amazing here. So it’s really awesome. I mean, a fun atmosphere, lots of cool stuff, lots of fun quotes. It’s just a really cool place to be. Clay’s presentation and his style is so different than most. It’s been really one-on-one. He takes the time to just kind of answer your questions about your business rather than just a generic answer. He’ll personalize it for different people’s businesses because everybody’s is different, but at the same time you implement those very same systems that he’s discovered throughout all of the businesses he’s ran and it’s just a lot of good information, really good presentation. When you, if you don’t come, you’re just going to be missing out on so much. So much actually knowledge that’s applicable rather than just like, you know, accounting information. It’s just very hands-on. The Thrive 15 conference has been great because there is no real upsell. He’s not pushing anything down our throats. I’ve gone to different conferences before where my husband and I have been upsold over and over and over and over again and they’ve just been pushing that down our throats. I mean you know how it is, it’s annoying. And so there’s none of that here. It’s been really nice. Most business conferences are very, very expensive and to just go and then get sold again, to spend even more money. This one’s very affordable. It’s definitely worth it. It’ll completely change your mindset. It’ll change your life. It’ll change your life. It’s definitely worth it.
