There was something really strange that happened the other day
Speaker:as I was talking to people about how long
Speaker:we've been in the home inspection business.
Speaker:And I don't know about you, but I'm not the youngest guy in the room anymore.
Speaker:I remember when I was 20 something sitting there and I used to look at all
Speaker:the guys around the table and go man I want to be like these guys.
Speaker:Then I found out most of those guys were doing 50 inspections a year and I went
Speaker:Me and my dad are doing like 400
Speaker:plus inspections a year each.
Speaker:And I go, I don't want to be like these guys.
Speaker:So then I started asking myself, What do I want to be like?
Speaker:How do I want to grow my business? What will that look like?
Speaker:And there were no great examples.
Speaker:I looked all across North America.
Speaker:I traveled to seminars and conferences And every now and then,
Speaker:I'd find somebody that had three, four or five, six inspectors.
Speaker:And I and I went, Huh? How can that be done?
Speaker:And I
Speaker:sat down with one gentleman I remember him so well.
Speaker:He was such a great guy.
Speaker:I made sure I sat next to him at a dinner, at a conference, and we talked, and
Speaker:I shared with him.
Speaker:I said, you know, wouldn't it be great if we could all kind of bring the people,
Speaker:the right people together, the people that truly want to succeed,
Speaker:the people that already have some idea of what it takes to succeed
Speaker:and share ideas with each other in that process, though.
Speaker:One of the things that I discovered was what it took to be
Speaker:successful, what it took to really take things to the next level.
Speaker:And it was kind of funny because one year for about 18
Speaker:years, I would do a show, a huge show for inspectors.
Speaker:And we had a lot of fun with it.
Speaker:I mean, I played all kinds of characters we did stuff from Star Wars.
Speaker:We had a lot of fun with it.
Speaker:And 1 time I'm sitting around the table and somebody goes, Man,
Speaker:you are like the father of home inspector marketing.
Speaker:And I went, I like that ok,
Speaker:And some people actually called me the godfather of home inspector marketing.
Speaker:Because I'll make you an offer you can't refuse.
Speaker:Do you want to be successful?
Speaker:Well, then, good, you got to do this.
Speaker:But once you do this, you've got to help other people.
Speaker:And so that was kind of funny, too.
Speaker:But the bottom line was I loved the title of being the Father of Home
Speaker:Inspector Marketing.
Speaker:In every industry, there is somebody that, like, pulls
Speaker:all the right information together, pulls all the right people together,
Speaker:and when they do, wonderful, exciting things happen.
Speaker:I just had the blessing to be that person in the home inspection field.
Speaker:One of the things that I think makes us unique is that we focus on
Speaker:what you might call the five F's.
Speaker:Number one for me is family.
Speaker:I am all about family.
Speaker:Family commitment, family, being together.
Speaker:Every Thursday night, my family comes together.
Speaker:In fact, this last Thursday night, all four of my kids were there.
Speaker:Some of my grandkids were there.
Speaker:It was amazing.
Speaker:So we're about the five Fs so family.
Speaker:And then there's fitness.
Speaker:Now honestly, I could probably do a little better on that.
Speaker:But with that said, I do exercise.
Speaker:I go for walks.
Speaker:I, I do a lot of things.
Speaker:I make sure that I can stay fit.
Speaker:And it's something that is very important to me.
Speaker:Even my wife recently has just done amazing things in that area.
Speaker:So there's family, there's fitness, and then there is faith.
Speaker:I am incredibly faith driven.
Speaker:I find that the more faith driven you are, the more willing
Speaker:you are to take a step forward, even when you don't know
Speaker:where that step is taking you kind of like the headlights on a car, right?
Speaker:You can see where you're going with what's in the headlights.
Speaker:But when you go farther, then you can see farther.
Speaker:Well, faith driven people have the ability to be able to go around the corner
Speaker:not knowing what's around the corner.
Speaker:Everything I do is faith driven.
Speaker:We'll talk more about that at some point.
Speaker:Then there's financial. All right.
Speaker:You know, Mark Victor Hanson said it this way.
Speaker:He said, The best thing we can do for the poor is not be one of them.
Speaker:And I couldn't agree more with that.
Speaker:The way I say it is, the more money we make, the more people we can help.
Speaker:So financial is an incredible part of that.
Speaker:And then there's fun, man.
Speaker:If you can't have some fun in life, then it really isn't worth living.
Speaker:I'm just telling you.
Speaker:So I do I have two weaknesses.
Speaker:I have two weaknesses.
Speaker:One is movies. I love movies.
Speaker:And the second is poker.
Speaker:So I go play poker on a regular basis now.
Speaker:Both of those also feed into everything else I do because I get new ideas.
Speaker:Poker has taught me patience, which
Speaker:when I was younger, that was a little bit of a struggle for me.
Speaker:And then fun.
Speaker:One of the things I love to do is travel.
Speaker:So me and my wife have just been to I mean, we've been to Israel
Speaker:and Jordan and Australia and New Zealand and
Speaker:all of the UK.
Speaker:And we're we're going to we're scheduled soon to be able to go to South America
Speaker:and Antarctica.
Speaker:My wife said, Penguins, yeah, I want to see penguins
Speaker:thank God the polar bears are on the other end.
Speaker:Okay. But fun.
Speaker:So those are the five Fs And think about it.
Speaker:Do you have your world rounded out
Speaker:where each of those are being fed on a regular basis?
Speaker:Because if you're not feeding one of them, it throws everything off balance.
Speaker:So one of the things that makes us completely unique
Speaker:and I want to make sure you think about it,
Speaker:one of the things that makes us completely unique is my family.
Speaker:Been married 40 plus years, four amazing kids that have all worked with me
Speaker:at one time, another couple of them still to work with me.
Speaker:And then, of course, there's fitness and then there's faith.
Speaker:And then there's financial and then there's fun.
Speaker:You got it.
Speaker:You've got to take a look
Speaker:and you've got to make sure that you're working on all of them.
Speaker:Now, in my coaching program, one of the things that I really excelled
Speaker:at was searching the world over, hoping I'd find true love
Speaker:Good hee haw reference.
Speaker:How many people you think probably don't even get that right. It's okay.
Speaker:Some people get it.
Speaker:Yeah. So anyway,
Speaker:One of my biggest secrets the secret may be important for you.
Speaker:One of my biggest secrets is finding people that I can have walk
Speaker:side by side with me that are as good as I am, or better
Speaker:or better in some areas, maybe not as good as I am in other areas.
Speaker:And that one probably even better.
Speaker:I'm really good at numbers,
Speaker:but then I discovered somebody that not only understood the numbers,
Speaker:but I understood why maybe those numbers were supposed to be.
Speaker:and that was Davy Tyburski.
Speaker:Davy and I have done tremendous amount of things together.
Speaker:I've actually asked him to come in and work with me
Speaker:on our business ventures and help me win in a number of ways.
Speaker:And Davy
Speaker:has had experience in huge companies and worked with other coaching businesses.
Speaker:And I said, Davy, I mean,
Speaker:what would it take to get you maybe to come work with me?
Speaker:And Davy went, Well, you may have just picked the right day to ask me.
Speaker:All right, Davy
Speaker:tell us a little bit more about yourself and maybe why why you joined us.
Speaker:Absolutely. First off, love your brother. Always fun.
Speaker:Always fun to hang out with brother and being able to serve
Speaker:great members and potential clients and all those kind of things.
Speaker:Well, it's a great question because one of the things that I'm often asked is
Speaker:how did you earn the title of America's chief profit officer?
Speaker:Exactly. Again, not profit coach.
Speaker:Not not something I studied in the book.
Speaker:This is real world experience of how I became America's chief profit officer.
Speaker:And it's really because there's there's really five areas of your business, right?
Speaker:Specifically, it's marketing, it's sales, customer service operations.
Speaker:And even though the pinky is the smallest it's really the most important
Speaker:in Mike and I's business, but also in your business as well.
Speaker:It's about getting paid, right?
Speaker:So we got marketing, sales, customer service, operations, and getting paid
Speaker:And what I've been able
Speaker:to do with companies such as Microsoft, Kellogg's, Goodyear, Walt Disney,
Speaker:just to name a few and many entrepreneurs in the startup phase,
Speaker:is really close the gaps in all areas of that business.
Speaker:So we can actually make it more of a profit machine.
Speaker:As you often say, Mike,
Speaker:you know, the more you earn, the more you can serve or something
Speaker:similar to like the more money you make, the more people you can help.
Speaker:Yeah. So that's one of the things I've always focused on with my clients.
Speaker:And a little more history about me is I spent 20 years in prison.
Speaker:we're
Speaker:supposed to wait a little longer Before you laugh.
Speaker:I used to go visit. That's right.
Speaker:And he always wrote me letters, which is even better.
Speaker:And baked him a cake from time to time here.
Speaker:You know,
Speaker:I think Susan baked the cake and Mike slipped a few things into the cake,
Speaker:such as screwdrivers, razor blades, and some of the things I needed.
Speaker:Okay. Okay. It's long enough.
Speaker:No, I was not in prison, but I usually use that.
Speaker:I use that example in terms of my keynote speaking
Speaker:because I talk about I was in prison, but that was actually corporate America.
Speaker:And that was really we talk a lot about education and knowledge,
Speaker:skills and abilities, and that's where I got my Real-World education.
Speaker:As a matter of fact,
Speaker:one of the things that we'll transition to another topic here just for a second,
Speaker:but one of the pet peeves Mike and I both have
Speaker:is we've been around this business for a long time.
Speaker:I was in corporate for 20 years.
Speaker:I've been in the entrepreneur space for well over ten years now.
Speaker:And one of our pet peeves is people that are coaches or consultants
Speaker:that basically got all their experience from a book.
Speaker:As Mike and I both know, and we have the scars to prove it,
Speaker:and from the arrows in the back,
Speaker:when you come and see us and spend time
Speaker:with us, you'll actually see that we have all those cuts and bruises.
Speaker:One thing my pastor says, I tell Mike this all the time.
Speaker:My pastor tells me it's better for the men, for the men watching the video.
Speaker:It's better to learn to shave on another man's face.
Speaker:Than your own.
Speaker:And Mike and I
Speaker:have a lot of cuts on our faces from things that we've done in the past.
Speaker:And we're going to share that with you when you come and visit us in person.
Speaker:But let me get back to the rest of the story and close the loop.
Speaker:I don't want to leave that open for you.
Speaker:So ten years in the entrepreneur space, 20 years in corporate.
Speaker:And really the pet peeve doesn't exist with Mike and I.
Speaker:We have been there.
Speaker:Very important for you when you're picking a coach, consultant and advisor
Speaker:specifically, whether it's Mike and I or not.
Speaker:Here's some of the questions you should be asking. One.
Speaker:Have they been there?
Speaker:Do they have real world experience in one of those areas?
Speaker:Marketing, sales, customer service, operations, getting paid?
Speaker:Do they have real world experience Have they been there?
Speaker:Check that box, Mike.
Speaker:Yeah, I think that's an easy one to check.
Speaker:I can check that box.
Speaker:Yeah, I think you can check that box.
Speaker:Why is that important to you?
Speaker:Well, because you're going to learn from our mistakes.
Speaker:You're going to learn to shave on our faces.
Speaker:We're going to share not only the blessings we've had,
Speaker:but also we're going to share the curse. It's so been there.
Speaker:Mike and I both check that box.
Speaker:Been there, done that.
Speaker:Can you check the done that box multiple times.
Speaker:Multiple times. And fast forward the tape here a little bit.
Speaker:Yeah, I could check that box, too.
Speaker:And that's where most consultants stop Been there, done that.
Speaker:What you need to be asking is, are you still doing it today?
Speaker:Are you keeping up with the latest and greatest in your people?
Speaker:Latest and greatest in the technology latest and greatest in the processed?
Speaker:Not just what used to work,
Speaker:but more importantly, what's going to work a year or two, three years out.
Speaker:And that's something that by tag teaming with Mike and I together,
Speaker:we're going to be able to deliver to you.
Speaker:So not only been there, done that, but still doing it today.
Speaker:And Mike's business with Jonathan and his family with Texinspec,
Speaker:that is that company was built to be a prototype.
Speaker:So what that means to you is basically they have gone now for over
Speaker:it's over 30 years, right?
Speaker:For over 30 years they've had the prototype company.
Speaker:So they've been there, they've done that and they're still doing it today.
Speaker:So hopefully that's a little helpful to them.
Speaker:Can I mention one thing?
Speaker:One of the things I find a lot of times is that people get there,
Speaker:so they built $1,000,000 business or 2 million or $3 million business.
Speaker:And they they focus on what they're doing right now
Speaker:and they forget sometimes what it takes for that new person.
Speaker:One of the things that one of the things I love about you
Speaker:is I hear you all the time talk about when this happened.
Speaker:This is what we did not well, when this happens now here's
Speaker:what we do now because
Speaker:most people don't have the capability to do what you and I do now.
Speaker:So we have to remember how we we hot dogged it.
Speaker:You know, when when we were broke.
Speaker:You know, absolutely.
Speaker:I think another key component is and I can over ten industries
Speaker:that I've served, whether like I said earlier,
Speaker:whether it's billion dollar companies or a startup entrepreneur, I've personally
Speaker:got into the trenches, into the ditches, got my hands dirty,
Speaker:working with over ten different industries
Speaker:Now, even though we're specifically talking about home inspectors, why
Speaker:why is it important to learn from others who have businesses outside of the home
Speaker:inspection market?
Speaker:And Mike, you want to tell a quick story about maybe one example you have.
Speaker:And I'll tell one my tell one of my stories
Speaker:and we'll see how we can bring that together.
Speaker:Well, you know, one of the things very simple one is
Speaker:I'm known as the father of home inspector marketing.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But it's because I went and studied other marketing people in other industries,
Speaker:studying marketing people out of carpet cleaning, out of dentistry,
Speaker:out of all these other things.
Speaker:And there was this one guy that had this 200% guarantee,
Speaker:and I pulled it out of that industry, pulled into ours.
Speaker:And so we created the 200% guarantee for home inspections.
Speaker:And when we did, it just completely shook the industry.
Speaker:As far as my story goes.
Speaker:As far as a different industry, I'll give one.
Speaker:I mean, there's many examples, but if I had to pick one, I'll pick
Speaker:one for instance, my one of my clients, we created a referral box.
Speaker:You know, like in your business, whenever you're asking for referrals
Speaker:and somebody on your behalf is going out doing that for you,
Speaker:they always clunk it up, right?
Speaker:No one can explain your business better than you.
Speaker:So what we did is we created it.
Speaker:Let's just call it the
Speaker:let's call it the dental arena, just to make it easy, the dental business.
Speaker:So what we did is we created referral boxes
Speaker:and we put a specific book inside that package.
Speaker:We put a nice gift inside that package.
Speaker:They took it and gave it to their top 20% of the patients.
Speaker:They gave them five boxes each.
Speaker:So every time that person was talking to their neighbor,
Speaker:a family member or whatever,
Speaker:instead of them trying to explain how great this dentist was, all they had to do
Speaker:spoon feed people,
Speaker:all they had to do is take the referral box give it to their friend as a gift.
Speaker:And 30, I think it was like 32% of the number of boxes
Speaker:they gave out turned into a client or a patient, I should say.
Speaker:So if they gave out 100 referral boxes, they picked up
Speaker:33 new patients because they spoon fed the person.
Speaker:Now pause for a second.
Speaker:How can we model that more importantly, how can you model that for your business
Speaker:of taking a referral box, giving it to a lot of your best clients?
Speaker:So when someone asks them about you, they don't have to try to explain it
Speaker:they could say, Oh, I'm glad you asked, here, here's a gift for you.
Speaker:And the box does all the heavy lifting for you.
Speaker:I love that my brain is already adapting that into the home inspection, of course.
Speaker:So imagine we've pulled our top 20
Speaker:real estate agents create
Speaker:this box, which, by the way, creating the box is going to be part of the fun.
Speaker:Create this box, give it to our top 20 agents,
Speaker:and they just give it out to some other agents.
Speaker:Oh, my gosh.
Speaker:The new mavens we would get out of that would be monstrous.
Speaker:Well, they go, Hey, man, I'm happy to help. Yeah.
Speaker:There we go. We've earned our living today.
Speaker:I think we're gonna stay
Speaker:so we'll pause there for a second, because here's the point.
Speaker:This is just we're just ad hoc that.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But imagine if you were sitting in this room with Mike, myself,
Speaker:our entire team and many others just like you that are looking and seeking
Speaker:for new information around your marketing, your sales, your customer
Speaker:service, your operations or getting paid.
Speaker:These ideas just flow naturally in this environment.
Speaker:One of the things is everybody that sits around the table has ideas.
Speaker:Then all we have to do is put our experience behind it,
Speaker:whether it was when you were in jail, you know?
Speaker:Right. Exactly.
Speaker:A lot of experience is a lot of experience there.
Speaker:I had more experience there than I really care to talk about either.
Speaker:And and then take it and tweak it a little bit.
Speaker:I can't tell you the number of times somebody said, Oh, what about this?
Speaker:And I went, Yeah, but you could do it here, here, here, here and here.
Speaker:And before we know it, we're five times or ten times a simple idea.
Speaker:This the reason, guys, I love having Davy here.
Speaker:I mean, man, just the idea right there alone
Speaker:is going to be worth $100,000 or more to me next year.
Speaker:There you go, Yeah, well, let's close out this segment by saying this.
Speaker:One of the things you'll hear from others outside of Mike and I and our group
Speaker:is addition to talk about additions, how do you add a new client
Speaker:how do you add a new real estate agent to represent you and refer you?
Speaker:If you want
Speaker:just additions, you should probably go and hang out with those folks.
Speaker:But if you're looking for multiplication, how do you 10x that?
Speaker:How do you 20x that?
Speaker:We're the folks and we're the team you want to hang out with.
Speaker:You know, one of the things
Speaker:Mike and I talk about a lot is all the information that's out there.
Speaker:I mean, got the Internet, we got social media, go to YouTube.
Speaker:You could do brain surgery if you watch the right YouTube video.
Speaker:But here's the important part.
Speaker:What we want to talk about is what good is all that knowledge
Speaker:if you can't break it down into Bite-Sized pieces
Speaker:for me, the sixth grader in the room to clearly understand
Speaker:and without having a blueprint of how to implement all that information,
Speaker:all that knowledge, what good is the knowledge?
Speaker:It's important for people to realize that the information is all out there.
Speaker:How are you going to organize it?
Speaker:How are you going to study it? How are you going to prioritize it?
Speaker:One of the things I love about what you do is you teach people how to prioritize.
Speaker:What's the next most important thing they're going to learn?
Speaker:You know what I find is that people have the information,
Speaker:but as soon as they get this done, they don't know what's next.
Speaker:Even during an inspection, I would be saying, All right, I'm
Speaker:inspecting this, but I'm going to go here next because I knew what my routine was.
Speaker:When you have the information prioritized and organized the way you and I
Speaker:have learned to do it
Speaker:through different mastermind groups and different successful people,
Speaker:then the information's there and we just go, Okay,
Speaker:I'm working on this right now, but I know this is next.
Speaker:I know this is where I'm going.
Speaker:It's kind of a cool thing.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:And let's go back and let's go back a few years back of the day, right
Speaker:when I walked to school in the snow backwards.
Speaker:I just remember in my first couple years of getting
Speaker:into improving my knowledge, my skills, abilities through seminars
Speaker:back in the day of cassette tapes and CDs and all that,
Speaker:I wish there was a way and somebody
Speaker:or a group that would actually take all that information
Speaker:and break it down because let's face it, let's look at today.
Speaker:There's so much information out there that it becomes overwhelming.
Speaker:Very much so.
Speaker:You have to have the not just information, you need to have the right information.
Speaker:That's really filtered out.
Speaker:And that's what Mike and I do a great job with.
Speaker:We only pull out the gold nuggets
Speaker:that really are going to have the biggest impact on you,
Speaker:your business and your family.
Speaker:And we only take the most important asset that we have.
Speaker:We only take your time and talk about those particular pieces
Speaker:because if you had to go out on your own and look at every YouTube video on
Speaker:how to market your business, how to how to run your business effectively,
Speaker:it would be if not thousands, probably tens of thousands of hours of information
Speaker:that's out there.
Speaker:And how do you know what's right
Speaker:How do you know it's correct and it's actually going to work in your business?
Speaker:Well, there's still guesswork with us.
Speaker:We know it works. It works here on planet Earth.
Speaker:And that's what we want to share with you when you come and see us.
Speaker:By the way, guys, this is the reason I asked Davy to be a partner with me on
Speaker:this is because I have literally watched him go through this over and over
Speaker:and over again with company after company after company, and and not just
Speaker:small companies, which has been great, but with huge companies.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And I cannot tell you how excited I am
Speaker:that you're going to be part of this group moving forward.
Speaker:And here's what I know.
Speaker:They'll get to that faster because there's two of us,
Speaker:not just one and then the truth is there's ten of us
Speaker:because other million dollar companies are going to be sitting in the room. Yep.
Speaker:That have followed the formula and working on it as well.
Speaker:There you go. So who are your board of advisors?
Speaker:Who are you listening to?
Speaker:Who's filtering out that information?
Speaker:Are you listening to The Good Angel or are you listening to
Speaker:the Devil on the shoulder?
Speaker:Because one of the biggest mistakes we see people make
Speaker:is listening to the wrong person,
Speaker:listening to somebody that says they know how to make you successful,
Speaker:but they haven't done it themselves.
Speaker:And or if they've done with this sales, they don't even really know exactly
Speaker:what they did to get there.
Speaker:It's what you and I work on every single day.
Speaker:And another thing that makes us unique here
Speaker:within the company is the fact that we offer a 10x
Speaker:guarantee when you're a fly on the wall at one of our upcoming events.
Speaker:Well, yeah, and here's the thing is when I used to do
Speaker:my big events and we had hundreds of people come I told them, said, come.
Speaker:And if you're not absolutely, totally convinced
Speaker:that you're going to get ten times what you paid to come to that,
Speaker:then some of them paid a lot of money to come to those events.
Speaker:I said, I'll give you your money back, in fact.
Speaker:So here's what I want you to understand. Can be a fly on the wall.
Speaker:Just sit in the room with multimillion dollar people.
Speaker:And some people, by the way, that are their first year in business
Speaker:and have the best year you could possibly imagine as a first year person.
Speaker:And and hear what we say here, what we teach them.
Speaker:I guarantee you're going to get at least
Speaker:ten times the value of what you pay to come to be a fly on the wall.
Speaker:And if for some reason you don't, I'll give you your money back,
Speaker:plus I'll give you $500 just to help cover your travel,
Speaker:because here's what we know.
Speaker:We're looking for the people that are fearless
Speaker:and we're fearless.
Speaker:And I'm going to tell you another secret I never had
Speaker:anybody take me up on the offer after the three days.
Speaker:Guess why?
Speaker:Because we deliver at an incredibly high level.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:And another key part two, again, if you're even thinking maybe
Speaker:then you absolutely you need to come to the event
Speaker:and get to experience what we had to offer because there's no better way
Speaker:to drive a vehicle than to actually get in it and test drive it.
Speaker:So that's why we want you to come with us.
Speaker:And just to close this particular piece out, we want to make sure that you're
Speaker:this type of person.
Speaker:Number one, you have a burning desire. Absolutely.
Speaker:Number two, you're seeking specialized knowledge.
Speaker:So you can expand your knowledge, your skills and your ability.
Speaker:Again, if this is you, we're definitely the right community for you
Speaker:if you have discipline.
Speaker:In other words, the discipline to take action and get things done,
Speaker:you're very decisive.
Speaker:So you're able to make decisions
Speaker:without sitting around wondering what you should do.
Speaker:You're our type of person.
Speaker:And the last one is really if you love being around people just like you
Speaker:and some that are maybe more successful so you can learn from them, that
Speaker:certainly being part of our mastermind is certainly right for you.
Speaker:So go ahead and click the button on this page.
Speaker:And go ahead and register for the upcoming event.
