Okay, my friends, last chance. Dave Sharp here again. If you're just coming on the call, go ahead and introduce yourself. Let us know you're here, you're excited, your name, and go ahead and press star six. We'll get you started here in just a second.
John Wilber, Nashville, Carolina. Paco Baba. This is Sam from Philadelphia. Sam from Philadelphia. From Kingston, Ontario.
Angel for Central Florida. This is David Sharp, guys. Welcome to the call tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to give you guys a really warm welcome. I'm excited tonight.
We're going to go ahead and get started. We're recording now. Everybody's muted out, so just go ahead and grab a piece of paper and a pencil so you can take some notes. Grab something to drink, maybe even a little snack if you're like me. Maybe you're pacing around, you're just pumped up, you're excited.
Maybe you don't even want to eat anything right now. Maybe you're driving around in your car, wherever you are in the country, wherever you are in the world tonight, we've got some powerful news for you. We've got some powerful information. We're going to do a little bit of announcing, and we're also going to do some training.
We're getting very close to something special, my friends. We're excited to give you some of those details tonight. I've actually been traveling around, hanging out with Dave here the last week. We've been working on some secret stuff we're going to actually talk about tonight because we want you guys to know that we have your best interest in mind. We want you guys to know that we haven't just been doing these calls for our health or your health.
We understand that you guys have needs, desires, wants, you want to live a certain lifestyle, so do we. We're in this together, and we've been quietly behind the scenes creating something that's really exciting, unlike anything anybody's ever seen before. Again, we're going to talk about that a little bit tonight on the call. But before I do that, let me tell you guys just a little bit about me before I introduce the man, the myth, the legend, Mr. David Wood.
My name, again, is David Sharp. Honor and a privilege to be with you guys tonight. Before I got started inside the industry that we call affiliate marketing, network marketing, direct sales, I was actually swinging a hammer on a construction site, had done that for about the last 10 years until I came full-time and got started inside of the network marketing industry roughly about 18 months or so ago. Now, previous to that, I struggled with all kinds of personal issues.
I was just one of those kids that just people didn't think I was ever going to amount to anything, and there was a lot of times inside my life that I didn't think I was going to amount to anything. Struggled with homelessness, hopelessness, drug addiction, alcoholism, all kinds of things that a lot of people struggle with or know somebody who's struggling with but don't really know that other people are out there dealing with the same thing that they can connect with. Well, let me tell you, no matter what your personal struggles are, you can overcome them. I did, and I'm still working on being a better man, a better father, and a better son every single day.
Well, after getting clean and getting sober, I've now been clean and sober completely for almost four years. Now I realize that I didn't have any money and that wasn't fun. I couldn't do the things I wanted to give my family a better life. I just didn't know how.
Now, I love construction. I love the trades. If I ever stop doing marketing, I always have something to fall back on, but there came a point that I knew that I had a bigger calling. I wanted to do something more. I just didn't care, and I'm from Florida here in the state of Florida right around the St.
I don't say little lightly. I don't say little lightly because I don't know what life-changing income is to you. It may be $200 or $300. It may be $1,000. It may be $5,000.
Whatever it is, that's cool. We love you, and you're welcome on this call. However, I didn't know what I wanted or what I needed. I just knew that I didn't like what I was doing. I was ready for a change, and finally, thank God, I let this gentleman actually talk to me.
An opening was made in my mind, and I took the money that I made from that job and got started in a network marketing opportunity. I struggled for about six months, in and out, up and down, almost quit about 500 times until I stumbled across some people like Dave Wood and some information like we're going to share on this call tonight, and I had a breakthrough. A couple of months later, I went full-time, took a risk, retired my truck, put my tools down, went full-time in my home business, started making more money than I'd ever made in my entire life, and started to do more of the things that I love with the people that I love doing them with. In the last 18 months, I've traveled a journey that has been unlike anything I would have ever imagined. I'm now doing things that I would have never thought that I'd do, and people are looking at me saying, I can't believe that dude is doing what he's doing.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself, but I'm grateful. I'm grateful to be on the call with you guys tonight. I could have been anywhere. I could be dead. The things that I did in my past life before I got clean and before I got into this industry were things that I wouldn't wish on anybody because I just didn't know how to be a human being and live.
I was misguided. I was misguided by misinformation, and a lot of it was just my own inaction and bad decision-making, but I'm here today. I'm here tonight. I'm pumped up about that.
With that being said, I'm going to go ahead and introduce one of my best friends, my business partner, a gentleman who you probably all know as one of the most inspiring and influential men, marketing phenoms in the entire world, Dave. Dave Wood, are you on the call, bro? Dave, are you on the call, buddy? Give me a second, folks. Give me one second.
Bear with me. As you all know, Dave lives in the mountains of Costa Rica, and sometimes, actually, I was just there, sometimes not only does his internet go out, but he's just had a problem connecting with technology, because whether it's the lines in his internet cables or whatever the case may be, sometimes he just has some problems. He is writing me a message. Bear with me for one second. Okay, he should be on in a second.
Dave, if you can hear me, brother, whenever you come on, just go ahead and interrupt me, buddy. He'll be here in a couple of minutes, my friend. I got to tell you that I was actually just in Costa Rica, just flew in from Miami this morning, and kind of I think an interesting phenomenon always happens when we travel, whether it's that we lost a couple of time zones or whether it's just the jet lag or whatever the case may be. When I got home today, I was whooped.
I was tired. I actually missed a plane down in Cape Coast, Costa Rica that was one of those little pond jumpers that between you, me, and the fence post, I really didn't want to take anyways. However, I would have taken it over a three-hour bus ride into San Jose. So I can tell you that the last 36 hours has been not only an adventure, but it's also been a journey. But here's what my point is.
Dave and I were talking before this call. We were talking about what's coming over the course of the next week. And I can tell you that I don't know if you've ever get that little feeling, that little tingle just up your spine where your hair stands up a little bit because you know that something is just going to happen and it's going to be big. Well, I'm just pumped up, and I get those instant feelings of just blood rushing.
I just get all pumped up no matter how tired I am because that's just what this industry has done to me. That's why I'm so excited. That's why getting on these calls is just absolutely such a game changer. It's such a game changer for everybody because there's people dialed in all over the world. I know that, and I'm excited about what we're going to talk about tonight.
With that being said, Dave, were you able to get on the call, buddy? My friends, he should be dialing in just a second. What we're going to be talking about tonight essentially is what we've been up to for the last couple of months. Hey, Dave.
Hey, what's up, buddy? Good to hear you. Hey, you want me to just cut in or are we in the middle of a sentence? I don't want to know.
No, I was just going to do an intro to what we're going to talk about tonight, man. I've already introduced you, man. No further introduction needed. Glad you're on the call, brother.
Take it away. You know, awesome, folks. I just wanted to welcome everybody out who is on the call. I'm losing my voice a little bit, so just kind of be aware of that in case I need to stop and turn the conversation back over to Dave. I've actually been talking to people kind of all day.
And just real quick, everybody, and I don't know if Dave's mentioned this or not yet, but next week, and I did hear his whole introduction, okay, next week, folks, or actually, this week, I want to encourage anybody who's on the fence who can make it out there to meet us both at the Live the Dream event out in Orlando. Look, folks, we're not doing that to promote the Live the Dream event. We're not just going to get you in the room and do some training.
We're actually going to be releasing to a private group of people who attend with us something that we've been working on for a long time that we're actually going to give you a little bit of details about tonight. And if you guys do not have tickets, you have the ability to go. And then I'm going to get ready to do some training. I'm not going to hard sell this because if you guys can go, I just want you to make a decision. The place where you need to get your tickets from in order to attend that is workwithdavidwood.com forward slash dream.
Again, that's workwithdavidwood.com forward slash dream. And so just real quick, everybody on the call, I just want to take a minute to edify Dave Sharp. I actually didn't realize until we hung out for the last 10 days how similar we are. There's some unique quirkiness and some unique personality things that, I mean, you just don't know. You get on the internet, you start marketing, you start doing stuff, you start making money, and you run into very, very few people that have the ability to do some of the things that you do.
Like I'd actually, until I met Dave, I'd actually never ran into anybody who could get sales conversions like me, ever. I mean, I'd never run into it. For a year and a half, I didn't run into it. I worked with some of the top online earners, some of the top prospecting people. I worked with some people that were really good at writing sales letters.
Right. We can teach you guys a lot of skills. I just want to be clear with everybody on the phone. We can teach you an incredible amount of skill, but there are certain things that can only be done by people that have certain predispositions.
So let me give you an example of that, and let me give you some insight into why we've decided to go in the direction that we wanted to go. I'm going to tell you a little bit about what it is, also a little bit about what it's not. And also, so you know, we're not leading you guys on. This isn't to sell a bunch of training. This is to help you make money, okay?
And so if you guys want to make some money in your businesses, if you want to recruit more distributors in whatever the heck it is, whether you're in my company, whether you're in another company, whether you're in Amway, it doesn't matter, we want to help you recruit more people and make way the heck more money on the front end. And that's actually why we've come together, is to help you to do that. So in case you're wondering, are they launching a new network marketing business and pre-launch next week? No, okay?
You guys all have a business. You all are doing something already that you want to be able to recruit into. So we're going to be able to help you do that and help you do it a little bit more efficiently. You might be asking, are you going to do something that replaces any of the big systems out there like My Lead System Pro? Absolutely not.
If you guys are in My Lead System Pro or any of these things out there, there's nothing that we would ever do to dissuade anybody from doing any of the things that are out there. This is an entirely new concept, just to basically put a crap load more money in your pockets than you've ever been able to generate. So if you guys want to make more money and you have the ability, you need to set up. Meet us in Orlando, okay? Now, if you can't meet us in Orlando and you don't want to take that step, I would encourage you to do it anyway.
But if you can't do it, just be on the call no matter what you do. Next Monday night at 9 p.m. Eastern, you want to be there. Trust me, you want to be there because we have some concepts that will absolutely help empower and change your life in a dramatic, new, and different way that's ever been done before. Okay, so I wanted to give that heads up.
And also, just again, edify Dave and talk about the gaps that really appear for you in your business. I want everybody to understand here on the call. Just from an honest perspective, okay, we're all good at different things, okay? Some of us can pop open a door, we can go door knocking and somebody opens the door and we can sell them a vacuum cleaner, all right?
Other people on the call, if you tried to do that, you'd have a heart attack, right? Some people on the call can pound the phone, all right? You can just pound it. You can pick up the phone. You can call, you know, realtors all day.
You can recruit people, call the realtors. Other people like myself would have a heart attack if we ever tried to do that. I mean, I am not a prospector, all right? Some of us on the phone are gurus at paid conversions, right?
If you look at Dave Sharp, for example, the other week, we were going out to my house and he turned on some advertising. You just flip the switch. We were over here. We were chit-chatting. He's like, yeah, I feel like making some money, click his button and then he's just on autopilot because he's really good at paid advertising.
Some of you would just go broke if you tried to do paid advertising. So understand here that we've all got different skills, all right? And we've all got different abilities, natural dispositions, things that we're good at. And if you try to build a business in a way that does not fall in line with your natural predisposition, you will go broke and be frustrated for a very, very long time.
I'll give you another example. I've got a guy in my organization. His name is Bob Anderson. You guys will be hearing a lot from Bob over the next six months just because this guy is a guru, man. We've been friends since he's been involved with me.
He's in my primary company and he hit the top level in my primary company, I think, in 195 days. Now, Bob is not a marketer like me, all right? It's not criticizing. If I told Bob, and I called him up and I said, Bob, this is what I'm doing, he'd have a heart attack because Bob is a workhorse. What does he do?
Well, he can connect. He's a connector. He'll pick up the phone. He'll call the leads. He'll close the leads.
He'll build these hardcore relationships just person after person after person after person. He's just got this heart of steel, right? Well, Bob's not a systems developer and he's not a marketer. It's not his natural inclination. He needs to be given something that's a powerful model in the system to use.
And then he can do it. He can make more money than even the people who develop the system because he works so hard. He'll outwork everyone, all right? So a lot of you guys on the call, I want you to understand something. If you've been struggling in your business, it might not be your fault, okay?
You might be trying to do something that just, you know, you could do it okay, but it's not your skill set. We want to teach you to build a business with your skill set. So those people on the call who are the prospectors, and I mean, your biggest problem is leads, right? You don't have enough leads to talk to, right?
Right. And there's the people on the call who just say, teach me how to call the leads. We'll teach you how to call leads, all right? And then there's people on the call, you need to learn how to get content traffic. We're going to teach you how to do that.
My point is, folks, everybody's got a different skill, and why does that fall into a system? Here's what I'm going to tell you guys on the call. And from an honesty perspective, all right, there are two people that I've ever ran into on the internet that have the ability to sell like I, all right, in front, to get people to buy stuff from sales videos. It's not a cocky thing. It's watching what people can do and it's observing where people are strong and where people are not so strong.
That's me and David Sharp. There's two people that I've seen who have the ability to do it, and that's me and David Sharp. That's actually why I started doing calls with them, because like me, David has the ability to create a video where you sit down, you watch the video, you get sucked in and you just want to buy stuff. What does it have to do with the systemic process? Well, David and I just got done making eight hours of videos, probably 15 hours honestly.
We basically, I hired a camera guy, flew him down to Costa Rica. We just got done pulling together some videos, folks, that you're going to be able to use to command commissions into your bank account on a daily basis, and that's going to be opening up to a handful of people over the weekend and also some people next week. And so in case you guys wonder, well, what are you doing? We're basically going to give you the ability to literally command commissions into your bank account instantly, on demand by you. We're basically going to be using a sales process that Dave and I have developed in some proprietary payment technology.
So I'm not going to get into the details of that tonight, but we want you to be able to use our skills. We want you guys to be able to use the skills of the best traffic people on the internet, all right? Because a lot of people, you're just not good at that. Maybe some people on the call here, for example, tonight, you just got money, you know what I mean, and you got like no time whatsoever.
You're sitting there and you're like, man, my wallet is bulging with extra cash and I just hate my job. I need to get out of this nine o'clock a.m. to 9 p.m. grinder lifestyle that they have me at Corporate America. And you want to just throw some money into stuff, follow a process and a system, and you want to be able to make some cash, all right?
We're going to have an availability for you guys on the call who are that kind of people, who are driving home from work at nine o'clock p.m. Eastern time, frustrated after 12 hours of working, and you just want a better lifestyle. I have something to help you. Those of you who are completely basically busted broke, okay, we're going to have an ability for you to make a lot of money.
So this has been a long thought out process of identifying the real problems of existing networks. What are the problems that people really have in this industry, folks? I'm just going to tell you straight up the problems that people have, all right? From a perspective of honesty, from not bashing, from not knocking anything, everything that I've done in the past honestly has tremendous value. That's why what we're doing isn't there to replace your downline or your system or whatever it is that you're doing.
This is something that's different, okay? These are the problems people have. The internet is so complex, folks. I'm just being honest with you about the complexity of it. Let's look at what it really takes to get to a guru status in this industry.
Now, I'm not talking if you want to make a few thousand a month. I'm talking if you want to make the big money. Let's look at what the big guys do and be honest about it, folks. Here's what they have to do. They have to learn, first of all, the technical infrastructure of what they need in place to even make any money.
You've got to learn how to set up a capture page. You've got to learn how to configure a system. You've got to learn how to set up a WordPress blog, configure it, get the plug-ins in there, and then you've got to learn how to get traffic to it. After you learn how to get traffic to it, you actually need to learn how to convert leads, because a lot of people on this call, you do get a lot of traffic and you don't get any leads and you're saying, what the heck is wrong with my website? I had a guy send me over a screenshot the other day because he said, Dave, I'm getting tons of traffic.
I'm not getting any leads. I actually didn't believe it. He sent me over this screenshot where he'd gotten 20,000 visitors to a website and only 151 leads. You know what you call that, folks? You call that the crappiest conversions that I've ever seen in my entire life.
What does that have to do with you? Well, a lot of you guys, you'll go through a six month learning curve to set up a website. You'll go through a six month learning curve to learn how to get traffic. Then you're getting traffic and you still don't have any leads. You've got to go through another six month learning curve to learn how to capture leads.
Then you're not selling anything. Then you've got to go through another six month learning curve to learn how to sell anything on the back end. That's what people are experiencing on the internet right now. That's the reality of the experience. That's why a lot of old schoolers, they look at what we're doing online and they say, oh, that's awesome what these guys are doing.
They look at it and they say, it's so complex. If I tried to get my grandma to do this, they'd have a heart attack and keel over. They're right. They're honest to God, folks. They are absolutely 100% spot on, at least in the offline market.
I'm not saying this is effective, but at least if I get you in a business and I say, hey, Joe, make the list, everybody you know, call your grandma and your grandpa and your friend and your brother and then wander around in Walmart, at least you can go out that night and do it. Whereas the online stuff, the reality is that each piece of it has a six month learning curve. If you're trying to grow and you're trying to learn fast and get money in your pocket fast, you don't want to learn every single one of those skill sets. What you want to do, everybody on this call, you want to focus 100% of your energy into the one thing that makes you a lot of money. Why do you want to do that?
Well, let me explain from my perspective. What am I good at? Definitely not everything. A lot of people think I'm this SEO guru. Fact is, folks, I'm not an SEO guru.
I understand the nature of traffic. I understand the nature of content, but I don't even do any SEO. I literally don't even do it. I don't do one little smidgen of SEO. The second I had money, I'm telling you guys something here, and I think it's hilarious.
The very second that I had money in my business, I stopped doing SEO immediately because I don't like doing it. I'd much rather pay somebody to do it. I create the content on my website. 100% of all my SEO is outsourced between three or four people that I have working for me. I have people working overseas.
I have plugins installed in my blog that automate SEO. I have a guy that works with me a lot personally who a lot of you guys have talked to, Chris, who does a lot of SEO. I pay these people to go do the crap that I don't want to do because I don't like to do it. I like to be creative. I say, well, Dave, what are you really good at then?
If it's not SEO that makes you all your money, and folks, it has never been SEO that's made me all my money, where does the money come from? Well, does it come from prospecting? No, it doesn't come from prospecting. You guys want to know how many people I've prospected in the last year, and it's going to astound you. Last year, folks, I recruited over 1,000 people in my lead system pro.
I also recruited in my primary company over 500 people at a $500 buy-in. I've out-recruited everybody in my company by a minimum of two times the last year straight. Well, I prospect to do that. Are you guys wondering? Do you want to know?
None. I've actually only talked to, about my primary business in the last year, I've only talked to 250 people probably that weren't in, meaning I've recruited two people for every prospect I've talked to. You say, well, Dave, 200% is pretty good recruiting results. What are you doing? The fact is, folks, I'm selling.
Check this out. This is my one core skill through funnels. I'm selling through funnels. People have tried to copy me, and they haven't been able to copy it. I realize it's a unique skill set.
If I can take my ability to create funnels and just kind of give it to you, just put it in your hands, not even sell it to you, but just put it in your hands, just give it to you, that you guys will be able to sell like me without having to be me. Then you don't have to sit in front of a camera for 12 hours making weird videos, take off your shirt, and jump into swimming pools. You can just make the money without being me. That sounds attractive. I realize people can't write sales letters like Dave.
I've seen people try to do it, folks. I've looked at people's funnels who swore they were copying me. They say, Dave, why aren't I making it? How do you hear me? I look at their funnels, and I'm like, dude, this is unbelievable.
It's not criticizing them, folks. It's realizing that people have got different strengths, different weaknesses, different natural inclinations that make them who they are. You've got different strengths, weaknesses, and natural inclinations, do you not? What do you want to do? Do you want to be a guru?
Do you want to just make money like them? Most people on this call, I want you to be honest about yourself just for a second. None of this is critical, folks. It's realizing the truth and the nature of the world. You're good at one or two things.
You've got one or two natural hardcore skill sets, and you're part-time. You've got a little bit of money to put into your business, and the reality is you don't have all day and night to do the stuff that I did in the beginning because I was totally poor. Also, a lot of you guys have got some natural inclinations that I've gotten.
For those of you who do, I want to borrow your skill to make our process better, put you in our funnels, put your face on it if we can. Folks, the reality is you guys are not naturally inclined to do the things that I can do. Therefore, what's smarter, to use your skill and use my ability to get leads and to get sign-ups, or to try to replicate the entire thing? Well, it's obviously smarter to use the skills of the top people in network marketing, is it not? Folks, this is the principle that's governed the success of every big network marketing company on the planet.
It just hasn't worked online because most people online just don't know what they're doing. What Dave and I have specifically been working on that we want to bring to you, we have worked on, and I'm not going to tell you all the details of this, but I just want to hint at it. I'm going to turn it actually back over to Dave. This is what we're going to be bringing kind of a little family into in Orlando. We're not going to be promoting this at the event in Orlando because we don't want to distract everybody from the event.
This is for the private group of people who attend from that link only. That's workwithdavidwood.com forward slash dream. Folks, the reality is that what we're going to be doing is we are going to be bringing you into a family, and we've developed a system for you to get money so you can market whatever the crap you want. Now, that being said, here's what I want everybody here to do and to realize. I want to ask you a question.
I want to ask you a quick question. Number one, what are you good at? Number two, how much time do you have? Number three, what are your goals and how fast do you want to reach them?
Honestly, a lot of you on the call, you want to quit your jobs. That's why you're here. You hate your jobs. Honestly, folks, if you hate your job, I don't blame you at all. Why?
Because I hated every gas-stained job I ever had in my entire life. I started parking when I was 18 years old, and I was selling rainbow vacuums. I actually didn't mind that job, but every job I had other than selling vacuums in people's houses, I hated and I despised. I worked for Corporate America. I was an insurance agent licensed in all 50 states.
I worked for a mortgage company, and eventually, you know what happened? I hated jobs so bad. I literally hated it so bad. I said, I don't care how much money I make in doing this bullcrap. I quit.
Let's go live in a van. So my wife and I actually had a conversation. We said, this is bullshit. I don't like doing this. She was like, hey, I don't like it either.
We said, all right, let's go live in a van. So we actually moved in a van on purpose just to kind of be adventurous. We said, I don't like this. But then we got tired of wearing moccasins and eating canned beans all the time, if you guys know what I mean, right? Some of you guys have been hippies before, and you know exactly what I mean.
It gets old after a while, right? So we said, how can we get money? How can we make money and do we want to do, right? Well, that's how I started into this online marketing thing.
So it's been a tremendous blessing, and now it's time for us to give that gift of creating wealth, but with your skills, with your inclinations, and what you have available in your life. Folks, we have an ability here, and it's a very unique ability where I've learned how to make a sack of money very quickly and recruit more people than anybody else in the entire network marketing space, talking to less people. Folks, I can out-recruit every single person on the internet, guaranteed, talking to virtually nobody. And it's not because I don't like people. I love talking to people.
You know what I'd rather do? Does that make sense to everybody on the call? I mean, what would you rather do? Would you rather sit there all day saying, oh, gosh, I got to call another lead, and you called 250 leads, and your eyes are popping out of your head, and you say, Bertha, can you bring me another cup of coffee? Or would you rather just talk to the people who are signing up, show them how to make a lot more money?
Folks, that's who I want to talk to. So if you're working on this call, if you want to make money, if you want to get out there and expand your business faster, here's what I want to do, is I want to help you make a lot more money than you've ever made in your entire life, in your entire business. That's exactly what we're going to show you how to do. That's exactly what I'll teach you how to do. I'll coach you how to do it.
Folks, I'm telling you something. It's exactly what we're going to help you do, and we're going to help you do it next week. So those of you on the call who've been getting pumped and excited, and you're like, where is this going? Are they selling a big retreat? Well, we'll sell some stuff.
We'll sell some trainings here in the future. We might even do some mastermind retreats where you guys can fly out and hang out in Costa Rica with Dave and I, and do some trainings. We might even film some trainings with you, and get in front of you with the camera, and help you sell info products, and help you look like the guru. We might even do that with you if you're somebody who wants it, and you're willing to put in the work, right? But what we're really going to do is we're really going to give you, put in your hands, a way of making a tremendous amount of money, and recruit and sell, and whatever the heck it is that you want to do, because I realize that you're not here to be sold an opportunity.
And you might be, and there's some of you who are here to be sold an opportunity. You're welcome to hunt me down and join at any time, or anybody else in my team, or anybody else in any other team. But whatever it is that you want to do, whether you're selling Amway, or selling gold and silver, or whether you're selling papers, or vitamins, or whatever the heck it is, right? Our goal is to help you make a lot of money. That's been the heart and the intention of all of these calls that we put up until this moment in time.
So that being said, what I want to do is, folks, I realized something about Dave Sharpe. He realized something about me. We're both full of it a little, you know what I mean? It was fun meeting them and actually hanging out with them. Because we kind of work the same, you know?
Dave and I get up, and we're scheming from, you know, 8 o'clock in the morning. We wake up at 8 o'clock in the morning. I kind of roll out of bed, and I have some sort of idea. And Dave walks out. We're sitting there, and we're filming videos.
And my wife is like, oh, gosh, there's another person like this in the world, you know? There's two of us. There's two of them in the house simultaneously making messes, drinking coffee all day. What am I going to do? But the reality is, folks, Dave has got a great heart.
And that's one thing that I sensed about him when we first met. But I'll tell you something, folks. There's nobody who's going to do that. There's nobody out there who's got a heart of, really, of compassion.
I think this is actually from his background, from those struggles that he did have in his life, where he was brought to such a low place in his life. And, folks, I got the same part. But I'll tell you something about this guy, is this guy wants to help you in your business. And that's why I work with him, is because, folks, I realized something. Aren't you sick of just feeding gurus?
Sometimes people get in a place. And this isn't critical of the gurus, because all the more power to everybody out there that can make all the money they've ever made in the world. But, folks, aren't you sick of just not making money? I mean, seriously, isn't that why you're here? Haven't you been here for two or three years, putting all your heart and your soul and your energy and your attention into your business?
And you're not making the money you desire? Right? Isn't it time for you to start making the money that you want? That is exactly what we're going to show you and put into your hand a way to do, okay, is to make money extraordinarily very, very quickly. So definitely be on the call next week.
But absolutely, if you have any ability, be at that Orlando event. Go to workwithdavidwood.com forward slash dream. Be at that event in Orlando. And I'm going to be sending out details for all the meetings, because a lot of people have been saying, hey, what are the details?
When are the meetings? When are the events? I need to get the list from everybody who's going to the event. And I'll probably have that Wednesday. And so I'll be emailing out details to those of you who are coming, probably Wednesday, of all the times and things that we'll be meeting.
Friday, earlier on, I think five or so is when we're going to be meeting on Friday. We'll be meeting really late Saturday night and probably on Sunday night, too, and maybe earlier on Sunday. We want to make sure to stay out of the hair of everything else that's going on at the event. So those of you who really, really want to make a lot of money, I encourage you to meet us out there. And with that being said, I'm actually going to hand it back over to Scott.
And you say, well, Dave, what's the specific details? Give me the details. I'm ready. And folks, the reality is we ain't going to give you really specific and exact details until next week. We'll be inviting a handful of you on the phone for discussion.
Over the course of the next week. But those of you who want very specific details, be on the call next week is what I got to say. And with that being said, back over to a man with a heart of, not a heart of steel, that doesn't sound right. But with a guy with just a huge heart, a heart for people that are hurting.
I'll tell you something, folks. This guy's got a heart for people that are struggling, they're in pain, they're hurting, that want to break through their business. And that being said, back over to you, Dave. What tremendous value, dude. Honestly, I mean, I was actually just thinking about not only the experience that we had over the course of the last 10 days, but also, you know what else I'm going to kind of just gift to you all on the call tonight.
If you guys come down to Orlando, let's just get this out of the way, you're going to get an opportunity to have a massive breakthrough, you're going to get an opportunity to physically get in tune with what we're doing. You're also going to get an opportunity to look us both in the eyes, shake our hands, hug. That's what you want to do. Hang out, have some laughs. You know, even though I don't drink, I'll buy you a beer or something and just really kind of get to know us personally.
But here's what else I'll tell you. Okay, you can listen to Dave Wood tell a couple of stories from all the way back from when he was a rainbow vacuum cleaner salesman that will absolutely have you fallen out of your chair. He told me the story a couple of nights into my vacation up there about how he was a rainbow vacuum salesman that literally had my stomach hurt and I could not go to sleep. Okay, just a little hint. There was a gentleman that he was trying to sell a vacuum to whose wife had some massive allergies.
And he argued for an hour to try to get this guy to let him turn on the vacuum, and he finally turned it on against this guy's blessing. And when he had this thing going, his wife walked out in a gas mask and stormed out the door with dust flying up behind her. And that's some of the things that I've seen. And I think that's a lot of things that Dave Wood has experienced. And he will tell you stories that will literally have you breaking out in ridiculous laughter, my friends, experiencing what it's like to be able to shake our hands and hang out with us and tell stories with us down in Orlando.
If you're going to make it out, it's going to be something that's not only going to transform you as an individual, but it's also going to give you that just that tangible evidence that this is all real. See, I think a lot of times when we do this internet marketing thing, let me tell you guys, before I did internet marketing, I was a carpenter. Before I was a carpenter, I ran the streets and didn't know what the hell I was going to do with my life. I got involved in internet marketing and got this computer on my girlfriend's credit card when I first got started. And I started learning how to click the mouse.
Sometimes you'll still see me hunting and pecking around on the computer. But the bottom line is, nothing replaces the belly to belly reality inspiration that you can get when you meet somebody live and in person. So here's the bottom line. We haven't been doing calls over the course of the last five, six, seven or eight weeks, however long we've been teamed up on these conference calls, to sell you to get you to this event. That's not what this is about.
Let's be very frank and clear. For those of you who didn't know that up until this point, you do know that now. But the value that you'll get, not only personally to be able to have a real conversation with some of the people who you've been watching on the internet and maybe even step up behind us and, you know, see if we bleed. I know a lot of times before I met Dave, it was like seeing this guy all over the internet. And it's like, man, this guy's an incredible human being, just tremendous.
What a guru, just this guy. And let me tell you something. When you start to meet some of these people in person, it becomes real, guys. It becomes real. This is not about internet marketing.
This is not about computer hiding behind a screen and just having the computer spit money out. Although that's always nice, and we've really figured out ways to be able to do that. This is about being better people. This is about making more money, not so we can be rich and go run all off with our little big bags of money.
However, that is nice. Sometimes it's about becoming better people having more means and resources to give our families the lives that they deserve and do more of the things that we want to do with the people who we actually enjoy doing them with. Here's the bottom line. Nobody can sell better than Dave Wood, hands down. I spent 10 days with this gentleman up at his house, shooting videos, doing sales presentations, watching this guy from.
Absolute scratch off the wing, do presentations, whiteboard breakdowns that just absolutely nobody can do. And I'm good at some things, but I'm not as good as this gentleman and what he's good at. Now I can write some good copy. I can do a few things of my own.
Here's the facts, guys. It's time that we unite and start to leverage each other. And this is piggybacking on a little bit of what Dave talked about, but I want to give basically my opinion and my insight to how I see this. So it may resonate with those of you who are just now getting in tune with what we're doing. The bottom line is, when I got involved in this industry, I tried to recreate systems.
I tried to go and duplicate what certain people were doing or copy what this person was doing. And you know what it did to me, guys, it kept me at my computer up until two and three and four o'clock in the morning, struggling to try to move some image an inch to the left on my blog. The bottom line is, for example, a lot of you probably know that having a blog is probably the best way that you can create an online presence. It can be your online real estate. But the fact of the matter is, just using it as an example, building a blog can sometimes be a frustrating thing.
There's a lot of people in this industry, especially who have been around the attraction marketing space for a little while, who have got blogs up and are posting on them every day, but there are some subtle tweaks that they could make. And just putting the pieces together, guys, can sometimes be confusing. Here's the bottom line. What if you could have the ability to leverage somebody who is the best presenter, the best at influence, persuasion and sales in the entire world? My friends, I think that there may be somebody that I can think of that can persuade and influence and communicate messages in a way that just makes me, when I'm around them, want to buy something, that's Dave Wood, guys. What if you could use somebody like Dave's influence and persuasion skills and sales ability to be able to convert sales for you, and you keep all the money?
Guys, what if you could get involved in a system that would help you grow, a process that would help you recruit, something that would put more money into your bank account quicker, faster than anything's ever done in the entire world? It would help you take your network marketing business to the next level, because here's the bottom line. As much as we've been told, and look, a lot of this information is valuable and it is helpful depending on where you're at in your business. The bottom line is, what would you rather do right here, right now? And this requires an honest answer.
So make sure that you are honest with yourself, because it does not matter what you tell me, does not matter what you tell Dave, does not matter what you tell your kids or your wife. If you're not being honest with yourself right here, right now, do you want to build your brand or do you want to make money? Do you want to become the best presenter in the world or do you want to make money? Do you want to become the best copywriter in the world or do you want to make money?
The fact of the matter is, when I got involved in this industry, I got involved in this industry because I wanted to make money. That money then branched off into doing other things. But here's the bottom line. I'm here because I want to give me and my family a better lifestyle. I want to not struggle with the things that I've seen other people struggle with.
And some of the things that I struggled with growing up, I want to do things differently than how my dad did. He was growing up in Alabama with no bathrooms in his house, and he had to go outside, and all the other kids inside of his neighborhood did have houses. And he was embarrassed about people coming over to his house because he didn't have a bathroom. I want to give my daughter a better life than that. And I want to be able to create something that does the same thing for you.
Well, the bottom line, my friends, is that time is here. If you guys blink, you will miss it. We have quietly behind the scenes been creating something that is absolutely going to shake this industry, guys. And the reason why it's going to shake this industry is because we are going to build. We are going to make money.
We are going to do the same thing that you're doing. Dave and I have worked with hundreds and thousands, maybe tens of thousands of people around the world in various businesses. And we are tired of seeing people struggle.
We are tired of getting emails and phone calls and Facebook messages of people who are pumped up, who are fired up because they're good people. They're driven. They want something more in life, but they don't have a process that can be perfected, that can give them the results that they're looking for. My friends, there are some incredible things out there. And I've made a lot of money.
I've made pretty much everything that I've used when I really put my heart into it. But guys, that can't be duplicated because sometimes I'm willing to stay up later than you're able to. Maybe you have four kids when I only have one.
Maybe you have a job that you have to get up to at 630 in the morning and you don't have time to stay up until midnight. Maybe you've only got an hour, hour and a half, or two hours per day to build your business. And you actually want to spend that doing something that makes you money. My friends, we understand that. We have been working quietly behind the scenes to build something that puts more money into your pockets, not just ours.
Because guess what? I could do something right here, right now that puts $10,000 in my bank account at the snap of a finger. Dave Wood could do something right here, right now that puts $30,000 in his bank account. My friends, that's all good. That's all well.
At a certain point, if you're not lifting people up around you, none of this shit matters. That's the bottom line. At a certain point, if you're not giving people around you the same opportunity and ability to have the same lifestyle, then none of this shit matters. Here's the bottom line. If you're not my friend, I know where you're at, whether you're struggling, whether you're struggling with something personally, whether you're going through a divorce, whether you have kids that are struggling in school, whether you're fighting a drug addiction or alcoholism, or you just are tired of your damn job.
I get it. We've been quietly working on something that's going to give you a real opportunity if that's what you want. Now, here's the bottom line in life. This ain't no snake oil. Everybody's going to have to work for theirs.
But guess what? You're going to have to work easier and do simpler things to make more money and live the life that you want to live. I'm pumped up, guys. I'm excited. Those of you who are coming down to Orlando to meet us, it will be an event and an experience unlike anything that you've ever experienced before.
My friends, this shit is not real until it becomes real. Guys, let me tell you, it is about to become real. When you look somebody in the eyes, when you shake somebody's hand, when you hang out, when you laugh, when you realize that I'm struggling with some of the same things that you're struggling with. I've got an 11-year-old daughter in school who just started middle school this year, and she's transforming, going through some changes. I've got to help her with her homework.
I've got to help my girlfriend cook dinner. I've got to come home. I've got to raise a family the same way that you do. Guys, we're going through the same things that you're going through. But guess what?
We've got the resources right now and the ability to create something for you that can fast-track your success and allow you to not have to bump your head and struggle and fight and put in all the blood, sweat, and tears. Although I believe that stuff is all good and great, I believe though you've already gone through enough pain, you've already had enough pain in your life that have held you back. And I believe that if we put something in front of you that'll put all the money in your pocket and will give you the ability to leverage our skills, which are unlike anybody else's skills in this entire world, to put you where you want to be, I believe that's something that you're ready for. I believe that's something that you're excited for.
And I know that you trust that we have your best interest in mind. My friends, this is really not about taking Dave and I to the next level. This is about how many people can we take to the next level. This is not about finding one, two, three, four, five different leaders that we can edify and put up on a pedestal. This is how many people can we get their first commission check in their hands?
How many people can we help have their first breakthrough? That's what I'm excited about. Nothing else matters to me anymore, my friends. You know what means something to me? It's when somebody sends me an email and says, Dave, I just made some damn money.
It was my first check. I'm freaking pumped. I'm going to take my out to do something fun. I'm going to go hang out with my family. I don't have to sweat the electric bill this week.
That's what gets me excited, my friends. Over the course of the next three to six to nine months, you're going to see more lives transformed. You're going to see more people excited about something that they've never been excited about, which is having an ability to command the direction of your lifestyle with something that actually works. My friends, the time has come. The time is now.
I'm excited. That's all I'm going to say right now. I'm going to hand it back over to Dave. Folks, what I want you to do, and Dave, I just want to say, you're getting me pumped up, man. Seriously, folks, there's very few people when they're talking, I start to get pumped up.
Dave Sharp is just one of those guys. We want to show you how to become one of those people as well. We're going to walk you through that entire process of being whoever you want to be. I want to paint a picture for you just real quick. In this industry, in this business, there's some incredible people who are on this call.
There's some incredible people who've got huge visions and huge dreams. You've just never been in a place. You've never been in an industry. You've never realized those dreams. My dreams and my goals, they were always bigger than even what I have right now, folks.
Ever since I've been in this industry, I've just had these amazingly huge ideas. I've seen in my head just being able to fill auditoriums full of humble people who just are ready to take action, ready to do something great in their entire lives. I've seen that vision in my head. I remember walking in when I was 21 years old and I first got in this industry just after joining Amway. I remember going to this event.
I think it was called Leadership is what they called it. No, it was called Free Enterprise Day. I still remember it. There's this guy in this event. There's 15,000 people just stacked up in this huge auditorium all the way.
They brought everything, every single seat in this huge 15,000-person auditorium was filled up with people literally shoulder to shoulder watching this old guy, Bill Britt, tell a story in front of 15,000 people about how he got started when he was broke, hurting, and hungry. He was a city manager over in Raleigh, North Carolina. I still remember that day, folks, because I saw that guy and I heard what he was saying. I said, you know what? One day, I'm going to be standing in an auditorium full of people.
There are going to be thousands of people in that room making money because I made a decision that I'm going to live my dreams. I'm going to make it happen. That's it, period. You know what, folks? A lot of you have similar ideals and you've got a similar goal and you've got a similar vision.
You know what the difference is, folks? There's so many egos in this industry. There really is. The higher I've gotten, the closer I've gotten to the top, folks, the bigger the egos that I see, honestly. I mean, folks, there are things that happen where, you know, I say one thing and there will be people out there who will just go out to immediately contradict what I'm saying and put an exact opposite message in the marketplace because they're a little jealous or whatever, you know?
I never have cared. I've never gotten upset about it or anything like that. I think, hey, don't do a great job using those techniques and strategies that I just don't want to do. But the reality is, folks, I see this ideal in this heart and this message out of you, a message of freedom and a message of inspiration, folks, that you've got something, folks. You guys are, there's some caged lions on this call right now, folks.
There's some caged bears. And you know what? I still remember, folks, and I want you to visualize this with me and break free. There's this dumb old story that I used to tell when I first got here that I haven't told in a long time. I want to tell this story because I heard this on an ancient old Amway tape and I thought it was the most hilarious thing ever.
It's probably not even true, but the reality is, folks, this is where a lot of you have been through, right? Now, I don't know if anybody on here has ever been out there and looked into the eyes of a wild animal. And then right after that, you've gone to a zoo and looked into the eyes of a caged lion or a caged bear. But I'll tell you something. There's a difference between a wild animal and something that's been caged and something that's been fed by hand for a long time.
So this is how the story goes. There's a wild bear out in the woods of Montana, right? Rummaging through trash cans and things like that in town. And if you guys have ever been in a town with bears, I mean, I grew up in Alaska, anytime that happens, you know what you do is you cage it up and you put it in a zoo, because when bears start getting around people, it's the first danger sign of an attack.
So they take this wild bear, they put it in a little 10 foot by 10 foot cage. And you know what happens, folks, when you take a wild animal and you put it in a cage, is it freaking goes crazy. It goes nuts. It explodes in infuriation for a while. But there's only so many times you can beat your head against a side of metal bars before you decide to give up.
You guys ever felt like that before? A lot of people do that. People are like that. We get, we're teenagers, you know, we're 18, we're 19 years old.
And we go out there and we have these great ideals in life. I mean, you talk to a kid who's in their first year of college, and every single one of them is going to drive a Ferrari and marry a playboy bunny. And they get their face smashed into the bars, but they're still going to get their Ferrari. And then they go out in life and they quit that job. This particular bear out in Montana, here's what would happen, is it just went crazy.
At first, they would have to kind of slide food over to it with a stick because it'd be growling and sticking his hands through the edge of the cage, right? But then after three or four months, he realized something. He realized that the food would just come to him if he just sat there all day. He didn't need to do anything anymore. He didn't need to struggle anymore because the food was just there all the time, right?
He'd wake up and he'd just kind of mosey, walking back and forth, pacing, the fire in his eyes dying a little bit. And they would kind of push the meat over to the edge of the cage. And at first, it would just take it growling, right? But after a while, it realized it didn't even need to growl at the food anymore to get it. It wasn't like killing a fish or a wild wolf.
It was just sitting there and it would just kind of pull the food in and kind of start gnawing on it. And then six months goes by and nine months goes by and 20 years goes by and a jailer's listening to a boss. And every single day, the food's just there. Here's a little paycheck. Here's the little check that you do.
All you got to do is come to work. Here's your little $2 an hour. Here's your $14 an hour. We're going to give you a 50 cent raise over the last six months for all the hard work that you put in the job. And your fire starts to die in your eyes.
And you know what happened to this bear? Nine months later, they said, you know what? This bear had just died. It was just laying there all day and just waiting for the food. It would get up, kind of mosey to the side of the cage.
And then it would grab its food and just lay down chewing it because it didn't have to do anything. And they said, you know what, I wonder what would happen if we took the cage off of this bear? And they said, don't do that. This thing is crazy.
When it first got into the zoo, it was pounding its head, growling at everybody, trying to swipe at kids. But luckily, the kids were 10, 15 feet back. They said, well, let's just check. It's just sitting there all day. So you know what they did, folks?
They pulled the cage off of the bear. And that day, at 10 o'clock, they walked up, kind of pushing the food over to the edge of the cage with their little stick. But they left the food just five feet back from where the edge of the cage had been, but no longer was, because they had removed it. And the bear walked up, stood at the edge of this imaginary cage and waited for the food to be pushed in.
He could have run out and killed everybody in that zoo. But you know what? In his mind, the cage was still there. Folks, you're on this call and you're in a different country. You're in a couple different positions in your life.
And I'm going to be honest with you guys because a lot of times, your own brother won't be honest to you. A lot of times, your own spouse won't be totally honest with you. But I want to be honest with you tonight.
A lot of you are in a position in your life where you've had a cage. Honestly, you've had a real cage. You've had to go through years of learning experience to learn how to set up a WordPress blog. Or you've had to go through years of learning experience to learn how to make a sales video that converts like crap and it still is not converting for you. You've had a real cage.
You've had a boss that just has not paid you the money you want. You can't even feed kids off of that anymore. And you've had a real cage. But you know what we're doing, folks? We're lifting the cage up.
Now, there's actually going to be some people on this call, if you can imagine this just for a second. The cage is going to be removed from you and you're going to walk to the edge, kind of moseying about with your dead eyes that have been beaten down so much that you just can't believe anymore, and you're just going to wait at the edge of that cage. Now, there's going to be some people that are going to stand up, they're going to walk to the edge of that cage, and they're going to say, screw this, I'm making it happen. And you're going to take your first step into freedom walking with us.
Now, which person are you going to be, is my question for you. Which person are you going to be? Are you going to be the person who's going to be all tight, uptight from anything? Pounded with a brick wall over and over and over again? It'd be for the person with the bravery to step through and do a new land, folks.
That is the first step, crossing that imaginary barrier that is not there. That is the first step in prosperity. You got to take a bold leap of faith to get what you want out of your life. You got to be bold. You got to do something that makes you a little bit nervous.
Sometimes you got to spend some money. Sometimes you got to get to an event. Sometimes you got to get around a leader that can teach you something you don't know how to do. Sometimes you got to learn how to do something that you don't make money from for your first six months. And sometimes all it takes is a snap of your fingers and to say, I'm going to make it happen.
That's it, period. No matter what's going around me, I'm going to get to the top. Yeah, good for you, Dave Sharp. Good for you, Dave Wood. Good for you, Brian Norbert and Todd down at MLSP.
Good for you, Ray Higdon. Good for you, all you gurus out there, Dillard and Dagan and all these people. But you watch my smoke. I'm going to make it happen. That's it, period.
That's what you need to do. Some of you have not made a decision. And some of you have made a decision. Some of you have decided to run for it in your life, to run with it. Some of you are going to lock arms with it.
There are people on this call who in a year will still be, I don't know, I don't know if I can go any further forward. There might be a cage there I might ram my head into. Enough of the pain, folks. It's time to make a decision.
Is it not? Isn't it time for you to have all the things you want to do? Isn't it time for you to say, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I'm going to make it happen. That's it, period.
That's what you need to do. And that's exactly where you're at right now at this point in your life. So, folks, who are you really? What's your raw bear? You want to be running through the wilderness tearing the pieces out of fish.
Maybe you're that kind of bear. Maybe you're the kind that just says, here, just give me my food. Just give me my government check. Oh, I don't want to get in business. I'm on disability.
Oh, I would never get in one of those deals. Oh, I would never be rich in online business, network marketing. Just give me my little 13, 15 hour paycheck. Are you the kind of person that says this, or are you going to make it happen?
Well, that's it, period. I'm going to be the number one recruiter using my skill and my talent and my desires and my vision. And if that's you, folks, welcome to the beaches of the world. Because I'll tell you one thing, folks, there is plenty of room at the top. There's no room at the bottom.
People are clawing each other's eyes out to get to the bottom. But there ain't nobody clawing to get to the top, folks. There's plenty of room for you up here. Very few people are clawing their way out of the crabs that are sitting there pulling them down saying, no, don't do one of those deals.
Folks, there's room for you at the top. There's room for you at the bottom. Are you with us?
Are you with us? If so, I'll see you at the beaches of the world. Folks, I'm going to give you one more thought, and I'm going to turn it back over to Dave and end this call here. Meet us in Orlando, for heaven's sakes. Make a decision.
Come out. If you can't, all right, some of you could just pull out a credit card, swipe it, buy tickets out to Orlando, and you're good. Some of you can't. I understand you. I've been poor, all right?
And I'll tell you something, folks. If you can't buy a ticket to go out to an event in Orlando and you want to go, if you can go, you can go. If you can't go, I'm telling you something, you're poor. If that is too big of a financial decision for you, you have poverty in your life, and that's a problem, all right? If joining a business for $500 or $600 is too much of a decision for you, you have poverty in your life, and that's a problem.
Hey, look, I've been there. I've been there just like you. I've had the last $35 in a bank account. I've looked up, and I've said, is there any out to this frustration financially? Is there any way for me?
I've been there, and I'll tell you something, folks. You can get out, but you've got poverty in your life if that's you, and I'm inviting you to live with us in a life of prosperity, and if that's you and you're ready to decide, you're ready to take action, meet us there. Come out. It's truly exclusive, right?
I had a guy just earlier today say, hey, Dave, just forget it, I'm just coming out. I'm coming out no matter what my boss says. I'm going to make a decision. I'm going to meet you there, and you know what?
I'm not going to mention that gentleman's name, but he's going to make a lot of money in this industry, folks. workwithdavidwood.com forward slash dream. You get your tickets. Meet us out there, folks, and I'll see you on the beach in the world. I will, because there are people on this call who are hungry, and you're ready, and you just need a little slap on the behind to get you there, and you know what?
After you get up going, all of us are here to help you, folks. We're all here to help people who really want it. Back over to you, Dave. Hey, appreciate everybody on the call. I'm going to turn the call over to Dave Sharp to close it out, folks.
Thanks, buddy. Absolutely, man, and final thoughts, guys. As Dave was just saying, if you can't afford to go, then you're really experiencing poverty.
Do you know what that did to me initially? That threw me back. Oh, my gosh, did he just say that? Well, here's the bottom line, guys. When I got started in this industry, I experienced bull crap after bull crap, people telling me I needed to do this, I needed to do that.
Well, do you know what's the only thing that has ever made a difference in any era of my life, whether it was personally, whether it's in my business? It's people being brutally honest with me. When I walked into a room and asked a man to help me save my life almost four years ago because I was struggling with a crippling drug and alcohol addiction, do you know the people that helped me were not the people who patted me on my ass and said, Dave, you know what, it's going to be okay, it's not that bad, man, just get up and wipe yourself off.
Do you know the people that really made a difference in my life were the people that picked me up, looked me in my eyes, and said, I don't know what I'm doing. I need to stop, and I need to start over. Well, the bottom line is that some of you are on this call tonight, and you're looking to get started, and some of you are on this call tonight, and you're looking to start over. Well, we want to give you the opportunity and the ability to start over, but here's the catch.
You've got to take a risk. Dave Wood, almost two years ago, asked his wife, Ashley, who, by the way, is a phenomenal human being, if she could go to work as a waitress and make probably eight or nine dollars an hour because they were living in a van, and Dave wanted to buy a computer and start internet marketing within three months. When I got started in my business, about six months in, I had a nice job that I got, it was a little kitchen remodeler, whatever, and I had a little, tiny, wee, just little, tiny bit of money that I made from that job. I was driving an old 1994 F-150 that I'll show you pictures of.
I had no more work that was coming down the pipeline. I had no more leads. I didn't know where my next paycheck was coming from, and I said to myself, and I said to Aaron, I said, I'm going to do this. Do you know what? It was scary as hell.
I didn't know where my next paycheck was coming from. My friends, risk is the only thing that is going to get you rewards. Nothing was ever able to be achieved in the entire world without somebody taking a risk. I was just going through the airport today, and I looked at a sign that said something like, two out of three billionaires started from scratch.
My friends, we want to inspire you to reach deep within. Dave and I's style is not something that's handing something over to you on a silver platter. We want to lock arms with you, and give you the most realistic way, because, guess what? You've had enough hype. You've now got the confidence to do whatever you want.
Do your best to succeed in this business. Just give yourself and get the best from being successful. Take care. Have a great rest of your day.
I'll see you next week. You've had enough bull. You've had enough crap. You've watched enough videos where people told you on those videos you'll be making thousands of dollars within weeks. Well, guess what?
I watch them too. I still see them happen on a daily basis, and it gets old. My friends, what you're about to see, what you're about to discover throughout this next week and on next week's call is something that will speak for itself. The bottom line is you don't have to trust Dave. You don't have to trust me, although I know you do.
It will speak for itself because the bottom line is, my friends, the time to talk is over. It's time to take action right now, and if you actually want to make a difference, and if you want to make a small difference, there's some of you on this call. They're looking to make a small difference, but there's also some of you on this call that are looking to make a massive difference. Well, guess what? We're not going to tell those of you who are a little bit still shaky yet that you've got to leave this call, that you can't lock arms with us, because you can.
Our plan, our message is to help those of you who want help going to big places achieve those big places, but we also want to help those of you who just have been screwed. We want to help those of you who have just been lied to in the past. Regain your trust. Regain your confidence and realize that there are good people out there.
There are ways to make more money than you're making right now, and there are people and systems and processes that you can use to achieve your dreams, my friends. How do I know? Because I'm living proof. How do I know? Because Dave Wood's living proof.
How do I know? Because Bob Anderson's living proof. How do I know? Because there's all kinds of people on this call that I've already connected with, that I've already emailed, that I've already talked to on the phone that are an inspiration. And that are a story of success of their own.
Now the bottom line is, my friends, whatever success that you've experienced up until this point, we're about to multiply that by about 10 times. But my friends, you have to be ready to get started. You have to be ready to take action. You have to be ready to say yes, because the bottom line is, yes men are the people who make it in this world. You have to be able to make a decision because you know what?
Anytime that I've ever done anything in my life that has ever meant anything or become anything, do you know what I did? I made a decision and I made it quickly. My friends, over the course of the next week, I want you to look in the mirror and I want you to be honest with yourself.
I want you to think about where you're at in your life and where you want to go, and I want you to be honest about what it's going to take to get there. I want you to really look at what you're doing right now and be very realistic, as if you were a business owner, because here's the secret. You are a business owner. If you're on this call tonight, you are an entrepreneur. If you're on this call tonight, there is a reason.
You are not here by chance, my friends. You are not feeling the inspiration and the hope and the motivation right now because you're a dud. You're feeling it because you're a winner. You're feeling it because there is a bigger purpose for you in life than what you are doing right now, and we want to help you do it together. Not Dave Wood and I up on top of a mountain.
Not some guru up top of a mountain that's keeping it all to himself. We want to help you do it together, you and we, my friends. What you're about to discover over the course of the next week is going to blow your mind, but I don't need to hype it up again because it speaks for itself.
The most important thing that every single person on this call needs to do throughout the next week is take an honest look. Are you ready to make a decision? Are you ready to do what it takes to get to where you want to go? Because the fact of the matter is, when I walked into a room almost four years ago from a crippling drug addiction, I had to admit that what I was doing was not working. And here's the little secret that I don't tell you much, that I actually walked into that same room a couple of times before that.
You know, the thing that I didn't do, that I finally ended up doing, was I admitted to myself that what I was doing was not working. Did I admit to myself that I was a bad person? No, because I'm not a bad person. Did I admit to myself that I wasn't capable of big things? Absolutely not, because I am capable of big things.
Do you need to know that you're not capable of big things? You need to know that you need to beat yourself up and tell yourself that you're not capable of big things? You better not, because you are capable of big things. But the bottom line is, it starts with honesty, my friends. Sometimes we need to break down the barrier. Sometimes we need to take off the dead skin and peel it back so we can actually reveal your potential.
My friends, Dave Wood and I have put a lot of thought into what we're going to be doing over the course of the next week. There's been tens of thousands of dollars invested. We've worked with the absolute best people around the world to bring what we're going to bring to you over the course of the next week. My friends, if you blink, you will miss it.
Over the course of the next couple of days, I need you, I want you, I encourage you, and I trust that you will look in the mirror and take an honest, hard look at where you are. You don't need to tell them that you're doing this, but I want you to look at your family. I want you to look at your wife, your husband. I want you to look at your kids, and I want you to say, is what I'm doing giving them the best opportunity to get to where they want to go?
Because the fact of the matter is, I do that every single day, and do you know there's still a lot of days that I'm just not giving it my best? And do you know that the best thing that I've ever done for myself was heighten my awareness? Because, my friends, as one of my old good trusted mentors used to say, awareness is the booby prize. It really is, guys. The fact of the matter is, we're all great people, and sometimes you just need to hop in somebody's back pocket to make things work.
That's how I've gotten everything I have in life: A, I got honest with myself; B, I took action; and C, I followed a proven plan. My friends, we're not asking you to go out and reinvent anything. We're not asking you to go out and spend ten hours a day setting all kinds of different crap up. We're just asking you to get honest and be ready to take action. We'll change the world, my friends.
This is David Sharpe. If you're coming down to Orlando and haven't got your tickets yet, go to workwithdavidwood.com forward slash dream. We'll see you there, and we'll see you next Monday, my friends. We'll talk to you soon. Good night, God bless.
I'm going to open up the lines right now for everybody, just scream your head off and go crazy, my friends. Now is the time. Good night.
