how did you get started? Where did, where did all this come from? The, uh,
the experience, where did this lead you to?
And why did this lead you to elite business as well as casino sales?
And it looks like so much more.
Yeah. So what started me with this is when I was 16,
my first job was a commission based job. Um, I,
I got the sales bite of, of living the commission lifestyle. Uh,
for most people, it's not something that they like doing, uh,
because especially most entry level sales positions,
you basically just get thrown out in the deep end and you either sink or you
swim. And back then it was all cold calling when people would still pick up
their phones. Um, that was what it was. And you either did it or you didn't.
And it's a really hard life to do. It just is,
especially when you're not trained how to do it correctly.
And you don't have the correct way of building a team around you.
But I fell in love with the fact that when I was successful,
I was getting paid massively more than all of my peers around me that were
working hourly wages.
So being 16 and getting a major paycheck that had a comma in it was,
whoa, that was insane. So that was what got me into it.
And then as I was going through college,
I was graduating right as the last recession happened.
So I have an accounting and financing degree when the people getting blamed are
accounting firms and banks. So every per every place we got applied to,
I got accepted by a position in November, get a message in March says, Hey,
we're firing people with 30 years experience. We're not bringing on new people.
Sorry, but figure it out. So it's like, all right, found this out in March.
I'm graduating in like three weeks. What are we doing here? Um,
so I ended up taking a century and entry level position with a life insurance
company.
We still life insurance annuities because as long as you can pay it past the
test and get your credentials,
any life insurance annuity company will hire anyone.
That's just how they are because we're going to throw you in a deep end.
If you make it great. If not, no, that's life too. First year,
I was rookie of the year. Second year was underclassmen of the year.
And 30 year left. I love to go build my own business. And since then,
fast forward, I have 27 businesses now that I have either built or sold myself
out of.
And that's where the expertise of elite business conversations comes into play
because we build businesses so that you don't have to be there.
I couldn't have 20 plus businesses if I had to be ingrained in them every second
of every day. If I had to constantly think about them 24 seven,
most of my businesses,
my relationship with them is looking at the bank account,
making sure the deposit came in correctly. And then if need be,
talk to the people involved. But most of it, it's on autopilot.
I can literally just be on a beach and knowing that my businesses are operating
behind me.
And that's how we go about in changing the ventures and transforming people's
businesses so that they can have that,
whether they're at a spot where we don't have the employees yet and we need to
learn how to create revenue through sales. Well, yeah,
that's what casino sales masters for more of the spot where, Hey,
we do have employees,
but I need to not be running around babysitting everyone putting out fires.
Well, that's where elite business conversations comes in.
So that's how we go about doing.
