We are meeting with Dominic Rubino. Dom hosts two shows for the Construction and Contracting Industry (The ProfitToolbelt Podcast and The CabinetMakerProfitSystem Podcast) and is a frequent speaker at various Conferences and AGM's. Dominic has been both a franchisee and a franchisor. As the global Master Franchisor for a Professional Services firm, he took a failing 6-unit company up to 237 units before selling it. He bought his first student painting franchise at University - by accident! His second franchise was in Professional Services, which completely altered his life's course. He built another business from zero to over 120 million in sales using what he learned in that franchise. Dom is an actual business owner who uses real examples. He's been a Pro-Franchising Business Coach with O2E Brands, Golden Spoon, Senior Care, Professional Services, and Sports Clips. He's also been a "Zee" for Triple-A Student Painters, ActionCOACH, and the Global Master Franchisor at FocalPoint Business Coaching. With your facilitation on the podcast, Dominic will discuss how the Franchise Community can take advantage of its massive built-in leverage. In addition, Dom will address important entrepreneurial topics like time management, growth and exit strategies, marketing, and sales. In Part Two, we play a clip from our popular Great Quotes in Franchising podcast.

We start off today's Tim DeMoss Show reflecting on the incredibly entertaining (and in the end, heartbreaking conclusion to the) Super Bowl which saw the Philadelphia Eagles lose 38-35 to the Kansas City Chiefs. We feature multiple clips from key Eagles (see the list below) and announce the "Big Game Survey" contest winners. Brent McCorkle, co-director of the new movie Jesus Revolution then spends the bulk of the hour discussing the creation of the film, how he approaches his craft, what it was like working with and directing talents like Kelsey Grammer and Jonathan Roumie, and what he hopes audiences take away from Jesus Revolution. McCorkle's first project was Woodlawn, a sports drama based on the true story of Miami Dolphins running back Tony Nathan. McCorkle also co-wrote, co-directed and composed the original score on I Can Only Imagine. Along the way we also hand out gift cards to Dunkin Donuts to help celebrate Dr. David Jeremiah's birthday today :).

How We Weighed the Advantages of Homeschooling Click here to download the Advantages and Disadvantages checklist FROM WENDY: The advantages and disadvantages I planned for, and the ones I actually found. We did not set out to homeschool. In fact, once upon a time (not very long ago), I swore I would never ever homeschool. I’ve worked in classrooms for years, and I love teaching. I loved my job working at my kids’ private school. I worked with my best friends, my kids had teachers I respected and who loved them, and I loved being part of their school. But at some point, it stopped working. More specifically, it stopped working for me to be working. We have a lot of kids, and just running our household with all the small bodies in it made a full-time job in and of itself. I knew deep down, before I wanted to admit it, that something needed to change. Staying home was an advantage, but also meant something would need to change for the kids’ schooling since we can’t exactly afford to put six kids through private school. I’m not a huge fan of our local public school system, and also didn’t love the idea of sending my kids to school all day with people I don’t know. Remember, in our old school, I was there all day, and if I wasn’t in the classroom with them, I at least knew the people who were. In one conversation early on in the discussion, we jokingly said, “Maybe we should just homeschool the kids.” Haha. But of course, that would be ridiculous because we had said we would never do that. I had several objections to homeschooling, and a few major ones: 1) We will be at each other’s throats all day if we are left to ourselves here at home. 2) I have too many littles to be able to school the bigs effectively. 3) Our house is always going to be a gigantic mess if we are home all day. 4) What about the socialization question...won’t my children all turn into weird homeschool kids? Plus we’re going to miss our friends. A few good friends, excellent websites, and inspiring books helped me resolve that we would be able to deal with those objections positively, so we jumped off the deep end. Months later, what I’m coming to find is that homeschooling is so much different than I thought it would be. It’s not just school at home. There’s definitely a paradigm shift that makes some of my questions and objections a little less weighty than they were initially. We do miss our friends. Of all the things I was concerned about, this one is real. The kids have besties from school that they still see and play with regularly, but it’s not the same as seeing them everyday. However, my concerns about them having no friends are nowhere near realized. In fact, I’m finding myself saying no to more and more groups and activities just because there isn’t time enough to do them all. Homeschool communities are abundant, diverse, and everywhere, if you’re willing to take the time to find the right group to fit your family. (Disclaimer: we live in a relatively large suburban area, so maybe that would be less of the case if we were in a small town.) We were so blessed to quickly plug into a supportive, like-minded community of other homeschoolers, and the kids immediately began making friends that they love. Oh, and did I mention, there are six of them?? So even if we stay home one day from our full agenda of co-ops and classes, there are five other children in the house to play with, fight with, solve problems with, be creative with...you get the idea. Our house is always a big gigantic mess now that we’re home. But mostly, it’s because of toddlers. Seriously though, the thing about homeschooling is that you aren’t just always teaching only math and history. There’s a lot of life skill learning that naturally and necessarily takes place when you’re home together all of the time. I’m finding that we are way better now at working on instilling responsible habits in our children. Back when we rushed to get everyone off to school in the mornings, the adult who stayed behind cleaned up the empty house. Now the kiddos are doing laundry and dishes every morning, tidying up routinely throughout the day, and learning to be more diligent about leaving spaces better than they found them. We’re slowly building habits like “clear your place before leaving the table” and “hang up your towel after your bath”. And the part of me that wants the towel hung just so is patiently surrendering to the part that wants the children to have the opportunity and discipline to learn to do it themselves. It’s still a work in progress, but today I feel like my children are becoming more responsible people, if my house isn’t always a cleaner place. We do have a lot of little people in our house, and they do impact the way we do school for the big kids. But I quickly learned that there is no end to the resources, ideas, and information out there for how to solve this problem. In the end, it seems to really just be a matter of logistics and strategies, which could easily fill a whole series of other blog posts. Sarah Mackenzie and Cindy Rollins have written my two very favorite books on this topic, and regular re-readings of both help me remember that this challenging task can be done, and is so very worthwhile. The last of my concerns, that we would be at each other’s throats all day if we were always at home together, never really materialized the way I thought it would. For one, it is actually super rare that we are home all day, between homeschool groups and extracurricular activities. But the other thing that I hadn’t taken into consideration was the tired-and-cranky factor. When we were at school all day, the kids that came home with me were worn out from a full day of learning, playing hard, and using up all of their self-control in the classroom. They didn’t have any left by the time they got to my house. They were tired, I was tired, and we spent the remaining hours of the day doing the least fun things we could possibly do together: chores, dinner, bath time, etc. The tired-and-cranky children that I was unsure I wanted to spend all day with if we homeschooled are not the same kids that currently live at my house. Don’t get me wrong, we have tired days, and we have cranky days. And some days we have full-scale nuclear meltdowns. But this is the exception, not the norm. Instead of spending the last tired hours of each day together, I am getting the best hours of my kiddos’ days. Instead of only getting to push them through the least fun tasks of the day, I get to be part of the most fun - the discoveries, the creations, the laughs. These are the moments I looked forward to when I became a mom, and I love so much that homeschooling makes it possible for me to be a part of them. JAMIN RESPONDS: That last one is the kicker for me - instead of getting the worst hours of the day, I get the best. That is awesome!  Also, you can always change your mind later.  Might as well try it for a while and just go back if it doesn't work out.  And change this into a mommy blog.  It doesn't have to be a homeschool blog too.  Nothing is forever. There's a season for everything. JAMIN'S DISADVANTAGES AND ADVANTAGES: tldr: The advantages of homeschooling don't apply to everyone. Do whatever you think is best. First, why I hate homeschooling - the disadvantages: 1) There is no break. It is easy to underestimate the impact of this disadvantage! When you homeschool, you are everything. You're the teacher, the lunch lady, the hall monitor, the recess monitor, the principal, the transportation. You volunteer for every field trip. You PLAN every field trip. You're the test proctor, the registrar, the nurse, the athletic director and the janitor. Oh - and you're also the parent. And the spouse. And you are now in charge of replacing the social experiences your kids would have gotten if you wouldn't have pulled them out of perhaps the single most significant workshop of their lives: constant, early education on how to win friends and influence people. You might be able to replace the facts the teachers were going to present, but good luck replacing the lessons of the playground. (On the other hand, maybe what you've seen on the school playground is a big part of why you're considering pulling your kid out of that hell hole.) 2) Lack of influence from other authorities. I don't attend soccer practice. Our sole income comes from the music lessons I teach, but I don't teach my kids music. I want them to have good coaches and bad coaches. Cuddly mentors and prickly ones. They need to experience working under generous bosses and stingy ones. School is a great place to experience the gamut of authority figures. 3) Homeschoolers are weird. They talk to adults like they are peers. They don't know how to strike up conversations with new people. They don't have the shared experiences anyone else has: homecoming, P.E., homeroom, student council, study hall, or any classmates who took the same classes. The closest thing they have is other homeschoolers with whom they share the experience of not having shared experiences with anyone. 4) Another one of the disadvantages is that parents of homeschoolers are weird. They believe in weird things and try weird things. They don't vaccinate, they hold hands when they pray, they use essential oils as if they work, and if you don't watch out, they'll probably try to sell them to you. Look, we've got 6 kids. We're freaky enough as it is. Traditional schooling was our last thread of being somewhat normal. Take that away and we end up being the stereotype of what everyone in San Fransisco thinks everyone in Missouri is. Why I Finally Gave In - The Advantages: 1) I hate parents. I don't really hate the people, but I find it annoying to be obligated to interact with strangers just because of our physical proximity: at a cross-walk, a concert, or a subway (both the vehicle and the restaurant).  We can be civil and kind, but standing near a person doesn't make it more likely that our personalities will be complimentary. And you apparently HAVE to interact while you're waiting for your kids or at field trips or school functions or birthday parties. If we were honest, each parent would say, "Look, I wouldn't choose to talk to you in any other scenario, but my kid attends the same school as yours and I don't want to wreck things for him in case he really likes your kid. So let's not pretend we're already friends. I don't need you to find something about my kid that you can compliment. I'm not genuinely interested in your hobbies and I won't find you more personable if you ask me about mine," but Wendy has told me I'm not allowed to say that anymore. But while we're on the topic - to the fine ladies of Sports Clips Hair Cuts: I will gladly pay you double if you just let me watch the game that you put on the TV. It's a hockey game and I don't follow hockey or even know most of the rules, but I'd much rather stare at that than try to pretend like I'm convinced that you find my weekend plans fascinating. I made up those plans I told you. I'm actually going to Disneyland this week, but I told you I had to work overtime in hopes of being boring enough to stop the conversation and get back to this ice soccer thing. But now I'm caught in a made up conversation with you about my a-hole boss who keeps calling me in to work in Sacramento even though I'm self-employed and will be in L.A. with Mickey Mouse! Please people: can we stop with the charades!?!? I have friends. They are not you. Not yet. I don't hate you...but I don't like you. Not yet. I do like most of the people I get to know, so we could likely be friends, but I don't like being forced to find out at the moment. Plus, talking to you about the weather or how much I'm satisfied with the car I drive isn't really going to help us find out if we will be friends anyway. I thought one of the advantages of homeschooling would be a decrease in ridiculous, awkward, forced social situations. Unfortunately, homeschooling hasn't really fixed the problem like I thought it would. Turns out, society is everywhere. 2) I can feel time with my kids escaping my grasp like sand through my fingers. This is the reason we had kids. If we can afford it, I want my young kids to have access to a parent. It's not their fault that they exist in this world, and I don't want them to pay the price for my mistakes, as much as possible. If I had so many kids and racked up so much debt that I have to abandon them while I go pay off my bad decisions, I will have a nagging feeling that I'm failing them. As long as it works, I want access to their firsts and their developments and I want to be the one (with my wife) to explain how the world works and shape their initial worldviews. 3) We can't afford 6 kids in private school. And I haven't seen a public school around here where I wouldn't end up in a fist fight with a the faculty at some point. 4) Wendy's the perfect teacher. Homeschooling isn't for everyone, but Wendy was made for this. She has the patience of a patient person and the calmness of a super calm chick. Wendy gives them so much more freedom than I would - it's like she's a person who just lets their kids be free to experiment. She's one of the most creative, smart people I know and she's as bad at micromanaging as I am at analogies. 5) Our work/school schedule wasn't lining up. I wanted to do cool things with them, but the perfect time to teach piano lessons is right after school. Unfortunately, the perfect time for my kids to not be in school was right after school. I missed them like crazy! We carved out a lot of time on weekends and I took them to school every morning, but my heart was breaking every afternoon while I spent quality one-on-one time with everyone's kids but my own. 6) Common core is slightly stupider than the old stupid system. People learn different ways! Almost nothing in the universe seems more obvious than this. Demanding that nation-wide, everyone reach the right answer by the same means is ludicrous! I haven't looked into common core enough to have a strong opinion on it, but I didn't even like the old system, where a person's 'smartness' was judged by their natural propensity to sit still for long periods of time, shut up, and not cause the teacher to have to do any actual work. I have enough friends who are parents, teachers and administrators to get the serious vibe that common core is a lot more of the one-size-fits-all, there-is-only-one-right-way-to-process-information style that makes me so insane. I don't want my kids to have to only see me on Guest Day at the prison after I've stabbed a 1st grade math teacher over the 'right' way to add 8 and 8. 7) School administrators are idiots and so are teachers. Sure, I've hinted at this, but it should be stated explicitly. As a disclaimer, my whole family is in education and they are great at it.  The school they run is consistently a top performing school nationally and I'm proud to have my last name is associated with it. Plus, my wife was a kindergarten teacher when we married. I was a full-time 5th/6th grade teacher when we married. I loved being in the classroom and I could totally see myself going back to it some day. There are tons of educators who are the supernatural gods and goddesses of inspiring curiosity and wonder in young people, spawning a determination and confidence in children who would have otherwise been overrun by adversity and boredom. Those teachers and administrators put the actual angels to shame with their ability to selflessly serve the greater good with no expectations for anything in return. That said, school administrators, as a group, above all other professions, seem to have an un-human knack for taking the most insane position on any topic. What causes a brain to break and, for example, create a zero-tolerance policy where a first grader who chews his Pop Tart into an "L" shape gets suspended for having a gun-shaped snack? Maybe it's the low salary and unchecked power that attracts skill-less, brain-less people who have had all their dignity stripped away from them in every other arena in their life. Or maybe it's the awesome responsibility of caring for children coupled with the crippling threat of lawsuits if any crazy parent sees anything they don't like. Maybe it's just insecurity; the fear of everyone realizing that the job takes zero skill, since literally anyone can teach. Really - anyone. Every one of my kids teaches younger ones how to do things. You know what teaching is? Doing something while someone else watches. Or saying something while someone else isn't talking. I'm teaching you right now. Bam! I'm a teacher. You're a teacher. No one in life has ever NOT been a teacher. Teachers are not great just for being teachers any more than parents are great for having functioning gonads. (Note to self: ask Wendy if I can post honestly about single moms.)  There are good teachers, just like there are good parents, but it doesn't seem to be the majority. Of course, this all coming from a piano teacher, one of the least respectable versions of a teacher out there.  The only requirements for being a teacher is being able to scrape together $50 for a thrift store keyboard and not being homeless, and even that second requirement is a little flexible. At least school teachers get background checked and have some accountability to accomplish something.  When someone tells me they are a piano teacher, I assume they are either retired from an actual career or that something must have gone terribly wrong in their life and I wonder who in the family has the real job that pays the bills. 8) Weird kids were probably going to be weird anyway. Granted: for the less socially gifted, pulling them out of society doesn't help them develop that skill, but one nice thing about having a bunch of kids is that you get to see over and over that they were born 'that way'. Some of them are outgoing and some are reserved. Some of them like to make friends and some of them prefer to play alone. Some of them like to chat it up with strangers and others feel murderous rage toward a sweet little Sports Clips stylist who is just trying to brighten someone's day. So maybe homeschool families aren't weird. Maybe weird families just like homeschooling. Maybe it's not going to wreck us. Maybe it's just a better fit for us for now. Or maybe we were already wrecked and just didn't know it. WENDY RESPONDS: Aww, you think I'm the perfect teacher? Thanks! (blush) You're totally right on the no-break thing. The pressure is real and constant. I think that's probably the one disadvantage that I actually do struggle with. The rest of it I think we can (or have) overcome. At least for now. We'll have to make a note to update this post a couple years from now :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwlZJg273CU src="https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/5957837/height/360/width/450/theme/standard/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/autoplay/no/preload/no/no_addthis/no/direction/forward/" height="360" width="450" placement="bottom" theme="standard"

Alright, alright, alright. How are you guys doing? This is Steve Larson and you're listening to Secret MLM Hacks Radio. Here's the real mystery. How do real MLMers, like us, who didn't cheat and only bug family members and friends want to grow a profitable home business, how do we recruit A-players into our down lines and create extra incomes, yet still have time for the rest of our lives? That's the blaring question, and this podcast will give you the answer. My name is Steve Larson and welcome to Secret MLM Hacks Radio.   I love that intro. I put that together. I did a lot of music related things growing up. I always loved mixing music and putting it all together. When I was about eight years old, my mom, she was teaching piano lessons like crazy out of our house. It was really cool, I loved it because all these kids would come over, and they'd be learning. While my mom would be teaching these piano lessons, I'd get to go play with all these other kids. It was awesome. I remember that very vividly. It was just a lot of fun and really enjoyed that a lot.   What shocked me though, when I turned about eight years old, suddenly the tide shifted, and she wanted to teach me piano. I was like, "Okay, cool. Awesome." All these other kids are doing it. I'm excited about it. This will be great. I'll really, really enjoy that. This will be a lot of fun. I started practicing. You start out at a really small level. Just like with anything, you suck at the beginning. It's the same with anything in life. Soon as you start, you're going to suck at it. Why? Because you've never done it before, and as you keep moving forward and doing it, you start to suck less. "Eventually, you suck less so little that you actually become good." That's a quote from Garrett White. That's exactly what happened.   I was practicing, and I was really enjoying it and I was feeling the progress. I was feeling progression. I was feeling ... Which is, in my mind, one of the keys to happiness, is feeling progression in whatever you're doing. I was excited about it. I was learning different songs. I was learning that, oh my gosh, especially as the years went by, about four years went by. I was learning, I could woo some of the young girls around me also and get some attraction that way. Do you know what I mean? I was enjoying it.   But, when I turned about late 12, 13, I started hating it. I think a lot of it was because it wasn't cool to have my mom teaching me piano. I just so regret the fact that I did not continue doing that. For several years there, I was like, "Ah, piano. I'm not going to do that. I'm too cool for that." I was going through that teenage phase. Regrettably, I walked away from it, much to the dismay of my mom, of my mother. She kept teaching piano. I kept saying, "No, I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it."   What was funny is, about four years went by, I played for four years. Then, about four years went by, and I realized how cool it really is to stick with something and get really, really fantastic at it. My younger brother has stuck with it for a long time, and he's just insanely awesome at the piano. I have total jealous rage over it. He's awesome at it. I mean, extremely, extremely good. He's going to get recognized by states and stuff like that. He's quite good, for his age and stuff like that.   Anyway, what happened was I realized it was awesome. What I did was I picked it back up. I was 16, and I started self-teaching. I started getting interested into it for the sake of the thing, rather than anybody else really caring that much. I had just loved the actual act of playing the piano. I started learning it and I started working on it and started getting good again. What was funny is, I remember, I always loved it when I'd go to other people's houses, or I'd go ... There were churches, or I'd go in different classrooms, in high school, the music area. I would go there, and I would start playing the piano. What was so funny, to me, is that sometimes the pianos were just amazing. They were incredibly expensive instruments. Massive grand pianos and I could play on them. It was gorgeous music. You could definitely heard the difference in the keys. It was amazing. It was so cool. I promise the story is going somewhere very key, just bare with me for a second.   I was like, "This is fantastic. This is so cool, holy cow." Then I'd go on someone else's piano, and it would be slightly out of tune, but what was funny is, that sometimes being slightly out of tune, would be its own artistic flair. It actually would make it sound cool, in its own way, also. I'd be like, "Interesting. This is like a really, really cheap piano and it's out of tune a little bit, but this song actually sounds cool." This is slightly out of tune, or whatever it is. I realized something, that there were these people, these other kids that would walk up, and they'd play the piano, and they were crappy, really bad. But, they'd boast really good skill like, "I'm so good. I'm super good at it." But, they'd sit down and they weren't very good.   I was like, "That's interesting. You have this really expensive piano, but you don't actually play it very well, at all." Whereas, the piano we were playing on, it's not that it was bad, it's just that it wasn't really that nice either. It started getting out of tune, but this is something that really stuck with me. I realized that it didn't matter that the piano I was playing on was a little bit old, or out of tune just a little bit. That didn't affect my ability to play. That didn't affect my ability to go run out there and be self-driven and solve problems on my own. That didn't affect my ... Meaning, I didn't have to blame other people. I didn't have to blame external factors for my success. Whether or not I was actually going to be successful with it.   My skill level had nothing to do with the quality or brand of the piano. That had everything to do with my devotion to the instrument. What does that have to do with MLM? Everything. That has everything to do with MLM. I remember, I realized when I was first, remember I told you in the very first episode of this podcast that I joined and I got 13 people on my down line. It was a really cool experience. It was awesome and I really enjoyed it. Then they did nothing. I was like, "Ah, man," and I started getting discouraged. About three, four, five months in, six months in, seven months in, that I started getting even more discouraged and more time passed. Within the year afterwards, I had just flat out quit. I remember, distinctly thinking, it was the MLM's fault. I was like, "Oh, my gosh. This MLM sucks. It's nuts. This is terrible. Look at those other guys over there in that other one. Grass is always greener on the other side of the hill." Remember that?   I'm going, "Man, those guys over there, they totally got it made. Look at their comp plan. Look at the commissions that they get. Look at X, Y, and Z." Now, in all reality, did the brand of the piano matter? Yeah, like 10%, like not much at all. There was this extra 10% beautiful layer that got added on top of it, but the music still sounded good if it was on a cheap piano. It didn't matter what brand it was. That's the exact same thing with whatever MLM you're in. It's the same reason you'll never hear me say the name of the MLM that I'm in right now. I'm just not going to tell you on this podcast what I'm in. That's the exact reason why. Because if you love the MLM that you're in, good for you, that's your instrument, you're getting good at that one. That's awesome.   You're skill level has nothing to do with the MLM that you're in, like 10%. It has everything to do with your skill level. What is the skill level that you're working on? Marketing, marketing. It's this very, very big hole. There's one other aspect that I realized it's not just marketing for me. What I realized is that ... I'm back tracking a little bit. I realized that there are ways to auto-recruit people using sales funnels and that I needed to market to people rather than prospect to people. That's a recap of the last three episodes, thus far. What I realize is that I need to have ... What was the system in place? What was the system?   I realized all these other MLMers, these type guys, they weren't doing home meetings. They weren't doing hotel meetings. What do I actually need to go build? What I did is I sat down and I started using a software called, ClickFunnels. I'm not going to promote tons of stuff to you guys, just so you know. But, ClickFunnels is the freaking bees knees. It is so awesome. It used to take me weeks to build out what it takes me a day to do in ClickFunnels. It's amazing and it's so awesome. If you want a free trial to that, just let me know and I'll drop it over to you.   But, what I realize is, so I went and I created this system. I put the system together based off of what I saw the top people in MLM doing. I had a cool quiz. That was the first page somebody landed on. I had a cool quiz on the internet, on a little page there because they did. I went through and I made this cool quiz. All it was meant to do was get people into the state to go to the next page. I didn't even collect the data. Then on the next page I said, "Hey, if you want here's this cool little CD. It will teach you how to create a funnel. It will teach you how to create a funnel that you can use to help recruit people into your MLM. It's just seven bucks."   A lot of people are buying. They're still buying that. More people buy it today, which is awesome. It's just constantly working for me in the background. It's awesome. Then the next page of the funnel is, "Hey, you know what? Here's a complete funnel that's already done for you." Then on the next one, "Hey, you know what? Here's if you want to learn how to get some more traffic, here's that part there too." What's funny is I built this whole system out. It took me about eight months to do it. I put it all together. I went and I saw the other training materials other MLMers were doing. I saw the videos that they were doing. I transcribed them and I made them my own. I changed them and I tweaked them and I made it my own. I put my different spins on them. I recreated the videos. Those videos are what's at the Secrets, I'm sorry, SecretMLMHacksRadio.com. That's what's there. It's free videos, you can just have them.   There's nothing afterwards. I'm not trying to upsell you anything. I'm not trying to ... It's literally just for your education. I've never done that before. Anyway, I think you'll really enjoy it. But, there's a point to it. I'm not pitching you. There's a point to it. I started going ... Remember last episode I said, "Guys, there's a huge difference between sales and marketing. There's another huge difference between a product and an offer." This is marketing 101. This is stuff I didn't even learn in marketing degree, yet it's made all the difference and it's made the money for me that it has, which is awesome.   The difference between those four things is huge. What's the difference between sales and marketing? Well, I was doing door-to-door sales. Sales, according to Joe Polish, and marketing are very different like this. What he said was, "Sales is what happens in front of your face. When somebody walks up to you, what do you say face-to-face? It's what happens face-to-face." What do I say there? That's what sales is. It's closing the sale, right there, in face-to-face. Marketing is any action you take to get them to your face. It's whatever gets them to walk up to you. Marketing pulls, it's all the actions you take to pull there ... Posting crap on Facebook about what you drank and what you're doing at the gym is not marketing. That's not marketing. That's prospecting. That pushes people away. I swear, if my wife sees one more person invite her to a home party where they're going to get to try someone else's product for free. She's going to just start shooting. I'm so tired of those tactics, it's ridiculous.   It's one of the reasons why I'm making this podcast and why I'm putting out this content. Because I found a different way to do it and it works way more effective and you don't ruin relationships as you do it. Number one, we market, we don't prospect. The marketing pulls people and helps pull people to us. Sales is what happens face-to-face and that's the part I'd really like to automate. I can automate both those parts sales and the marketing, but especially the sales. I don't really like to talk face-to-face. I don't really like doing sales. I love stage presenting, but I hate, I hate doing face-to-face, one-on-one sales. It drives me nuts.   When I realized, like I said, the difference between sales and marketing, huge. Alright. I'm trying not to go into too much techno-babble. Stay with me real quick. Here's the other aspect. When I launched my automated system, it failed. You're like, "What? Stephan what qualifies you to be doing this? What qualifies you to be teaching these people and teaching us? What is it you're doing?" Well, the reason why is because it failed and I walked away from it. I was like, "Dang it. I went an I recreated this whole system from all of these top MLMers and it did nothing."   Why did that do nothing? That is the weirdest thing. That's what all the other top guys are doing, how come I'm failing at it? What I ended up doing was walking away out of pure frustration. It took me eight months to build this thing and I walked away, completely defeated, thinking that I had failed. I walked away and I completely forgot about it. Well, literally, months and months and months later, probably a solid six months later, it was a while. I can't remember, it might have been six months. Regardless, it was a long time.   This guys comes out to me and he's like, "Dude, I stumbled across your thing." I don't know really how he found it. "I stumbled across it. Holy crap, dude. Why aren't more people using this and seeing this?" I was taken back. I was like, "How did you find this? Are you kidding me? It's in this dark corner of the internet. It's on these webpages. I put it up. I know it's not a normal thing to do in the MLM world. I just forgot about it to be honest." He goes, "No, are you kidding? This is the coolest thing ever. This has changed my life. This is amazing stuff. This kind of stuff is not out there, but the kind of stuff that's needed." I was like, "Yeah, I know. That's why I did it." He goes, "Dude, I bought your thing. I'm using it. It's awesome."   I won't say his numbers on here because I don't want any kind of income claims, but he was spending $5 a day on Facebook ads and he'd pull out a couple hundred dollars a week in paid prospecting. Regardless if someone joined his own MLM down line. I was like, "That's super cool." He had the marketing piece. He had the sales piece. Those parts were all automated. But, for me personally, why did that fail at the beginning? It actually, really didn't do that well for a little while. The reason why is ... Maybe I should have done a separate podcast about this because I don't want this to go too long, just bare with me for a second. Stick with me. This one concept changed everything for me.   The difference between a product and an offer. What I was doing was I was selling a product. I was selling the one thing. I was selling the MLM recruiting system. There was just that one thing. I was like, "Cool. That's interesting. I thought it was good enough." You have your MLM product and it didn't sell very well. It didn't, for some reason, it just didn't sell well. Not many people bought it. I was like, "This is amazing how come nobody's actually getting it?" The one guy bought it and was like, "This is awesome. You know what? I wish you included X, Y, and Z with it." I was like, "Huh, that's really good feedback."   I went and I created it and I added it to the other product, so when they bought the product they got this other thing with it too. Guess what? My sales went up. The craziest thing. Other people started hearing about it and started buying it. I started getting more and more feedback from people. They're like, "You know, this is really cool and so is that other thing, but I wish I had this third thing." I was like, "Huh, that's a really good idea. I should go make that." I went and I put that aspect together and I put those pieces together and I included it. So, when you got the main product, you got two other things with it now." Crazy again, my sales went up. Then again, again, again, and again, over and over and over. You can see where this is going.   Pretty soon it was like this waterfall of paid prospecting cash that started coming in. We went on a cruise. We went ... It was nuts. We're pulling two grand a day sometimes, or in a week. It would be $2,000 in a day, $1,000 a day, $1,000 a day. It was like, "Holy crap, these people don't even join my MLM yet." What was crazy is I wasn't pitching the MLM. I wasn't going around and trying to beg people to get in. I wasn't walking around malls. It was totally automated. These people were giving cash. They were paid prospects, but, at the same time, man, I got, right now, I still have 15 people begging to join my down line. I just haven't pulled them in yet. I haven't gone in and finished the sign up process with them, currently as I'm making this episode. It's hilarious.   I was like, "Whoa, that totally happened. That worked." I was like, "Why did that work? Why did that work?" I'm very introspective as an individual. I was like, "Why did that work? How come that worked?" I understand the difference between sales and marketing. That's the part I automated. That's the system I created, but why is it that I went and how come it's working now? What I realized is that people want to buy offers. They don't want to buy products. They don't want to buy just a product or just a service. Have you ever gone to ...   This is a goofy example, but have you ever gone to Sports Clips? Sports Clips is a haircutting place. You go in there and it's not just a haircut. You go in there, it's a haircut for dudes, but you go in, mostly for guys. You go in and you sit down. They give you a haircut, but after that they wash your hair, but then they put hot steam towels on your face and they massage your scalp and your face. They put you in this vibrating massage chair. They put you ... They'll do ... It's really interesting. It's a manly spa. Do you know what I mean? I love it. It is the coolest part.   What they did is they took a boring product, haircuts, and they made an offer out of it. The problem with most people in MLM is they don't have an offer. You, out of the box, are exactly the same as thousands of other people. You have the same product. You have the same websites. You have the same marketing material. You are, literally, carbon copy as everybody else, out of the box with MLM products. Why would somebody join you? Do you know what I mean? That's the whole ... That's what I realized. Oh, my gosh, the reason people are buying it is because I made my MLM, I made my recruiting system into an offer. I made myself different. I carved out my own niche. Nobody else is doing it. I was like, "Whoa, that's nuts."   It started blowing up and started going nuts. That's why it's been successful and why I've had so many people join. Again, I don't want to dive into numbers. It's not the purpose of this. I'm not trying to make myself look awesome. I'm just trying to help you see where the holes in MLM are. That they do exist. That MLM out of the box is already broken. If you want to be successful, that you have to set yourself apart. You can't sell just a product or service. You need to turn it into an offer, add stuff in of your own. Say, "Hey, when you join the MLM, I'm going to give you X, Y, and Z."   I'll dive into that a little bit later of how I do that and why I do that. How I found it to be successful in places where I know it's not successful. But, you need to be different than everybody else. How are you going to do that? Why would I join you versus all the other people out there? That's what I realized. It's not the piano. It's the operator. It's the artist. It's the pianist. What's your skill level inside of MLM? What's your skill inside of business? Most people, when they first join in, especially MLMs, a lot of people in MLMs, again, stereotypically, typically have not done that much in business. The problem is that they go ... A lot of people will go out and they're thinking they got visions of piles of cash, which is great, but most of the time when a person is focused on cash, they don't make any.   But, when a person is focused on marketing, they make money. If you want significance you can't seek it. If you want cash you can't seek it. You have got to seek how to market. Every time I do that with a $1 million company, we just launched something a little bit ago, that's unrelated to MLM. Within two months it made $1 million. It's awesome, but you want to know why? It's because we marketed the crap out of it. It took us four or five times to relaunch and relaunch and relaunch, to actually be successful with it. We've done that many times and most of the time when we launch something it's not successful. When you first get MLM out of the box, it's not successful. You're not set up already for success. You are the exact same as everybody else.   The way you get around that is by creating an offer and getting obsessed with how to market it. How you get people in front of your face and I want to automate systems to do that and that's exactly what I have done. If this is interesting to you at all, I'm sorry this has gone 20 minutes, but if this is interesting to you at all. I am so passionate about this because most of the industry, in my opinion, right out of the box, is broken. It doesn't work and people are not set up for success. It's not their own fault. It's not even the up line's fault. It's that most of them don't know.   They all got big, where they are, a lot of them, by building automated funnels, automated recruiting. They do things that shift from focusing on converting one person at a time to lots of people at once. That's how you go from six to seven figures. That's how you built it. Anyway, you guys can tell I'm really passionate about this topic and I totally am and it's the reason why I decided to podcast about it. Because after about the 12,000th question about it, I was like, "Okay, I got to make a place where everybody can see why I'm doing what I'm doing and how it's working and why it's been such a success." Such a starving need for the industry and how it works.   If not approaching family members and friends and still being successful is interesting to you, then go to SecretMLMHacksRadio.com and go get the five videos that teach you more about what I'm talking about right now. A lot of the content that I'm talking about right now is way more in-depth on those videos. They're for free. You don't even hear the podcast, I'm sorry, you don't even hear the MLM that I'm in. I will never tell you on this podcast what MLM I'm in. It's so that it's purely educational to help people get back on their feet with their MLMs.   MLM is a great thing. I really enjoy it. It has a lot of personal development that comes from it, but there's still this massive business side of needing to turn a dollar. If you're the kind of person thinking that it's the instrument and you've been gone opportunity, to opportunity, to opportunity. No, it's got to be that one, it must be that one, it must be that one. That's not true. It's the skill level. It's the operator. It's operator, it's user error. The way to get around it, like I was saying, you've got to learn to obsess over the marketing. You've got to learn how to create offers. You will set yourself apart from everybody else in the industry.   Anyways, guys you can tell I get passionate about this one, but it's a big, big deal. This is worth figuring out. It's worth you having the life that you should have to go figure this out. You owe it to you. You owe it to your message.

Nasir and Matt talk about the company that's attempting to convince athletes to stay in college by raising money from fans. Full Podcast Transcript NASIR: Welcome to our podcast where we cover business in the news and add our legal twist. My name is Nasir Pasha. MATT: And I’m Matt Staub. NASIR: I was going to try to do the lead-in for this even though it’s another sports story and the only reason is because I was at Sports Clips this week getting my haircut done. Yeah, that’s right; I get my haircut done at Sports Clips. And so, I was sitting down in the waiting area and there was I think it was ESPN. There were two guys. It looked like they were doing a radio show but they were being filmed on TV which I thought was strange. MATT: Mike and Mike probably. NASIR: Yeah, I think that sounds right. They were talking about this exact story and I’m like, “That’s pretty much Matt and I.” We might as well be on ESPN. MATT: Yeah, maybe. Actually, this is good timing. This episode will come out on Monday and this is right after Selection Sunday. NASIR: Oh, yeah. MATT: Which you actually like. I mean, Dayton will be back. You had your big Dayton thing last year. They’ll be in the tournament. NASIR: Will San Diego State make it this year? I don’t think so, right? MATT: They’ll definitely be in it as well. I’m projecting they’ll probably be a seven. I mean, it’s still hard to say because they still have a couple of games possibly at this point, but they’ll probably be around a seven. They’ll definitely be in. NASIR: Well, I was looking at their rankings and I was confused because there’s 36 teams that are selected, right? MATT: 68. NASIR: Oh, okay, then that makes sense because I thought they were outside that 30-some. So, okay. Phew! Very close. MATT: Now, they’ll definitely be in because they won their conference and it’s not a problem for them. NASIR: Yeah, I was thinking, like, they won their conference, they should be able to. Okay. Well, yeah, so Dayton and San Diego State, they’re going to be in the finals probably. MATT: Bold prediction. They’ll probably play each other first game. NASIR: Not to get distracted on our topic but you heard the billion dollar bet or billion dollar perfect bracket is no longer on the table this year because there was just too much legal dispute as to who came up with the idea and then people were upset because one of the participants went to the insurance company to insure the billion dollar bet but, by doing that, it made everything public and kind of let the cat out of the bag, so to speak, before they wanted to and it became a whole legal hoopla. MATT: I didn’t see that. That’s not surprising, I guess. NASIR: We’ll cover that next year – a little too late. MATT: Let’s get to your story that you already saw earlier in the week which is I’ve a very strong – well, not strong opinion – I think I have a correct opinion on this. NASIR: Okay. MATT: But this guy in – I believe – Chicago came up with this new idea. Actually, if we go really far back, I think this is one of the first things we ever talked about with the investment into a player. Do you remember that? That was a long time ago. NASIR: Yeah. MATT: Adrian Foster. NASIR: Adrian Foster, the Houston Texans, but that was for the NFL professionals, obviously – a little bit different. MATT: Well, it does mention professional possibly in here, but basically what this company is, this idea, this concept is, if you don’t follow sports, basically, you have four years you can play in college and then you have to leave. But some guys that are really good, especially in basketball and in football too, you have to play a couple of years, but you can play and then go to the pros and, you know, then your college team’s worse than it was presumably when their good players leave. So, this guy’s idea was, “Hey, I will just come up with this thing where anyone can donate money,” and a certain percent – it says 80 percent but then,

More listener questions bring Vegas stories like Eddie's grandma getting pistol whipped, what kind of nookie to expect at a high school dance, hiding boners and dry humping. Plus I get a haircut/massage from Sports Clips, Angelina Jolie's double mastectomy, making friends on airplanes and more.
