Vick Strizheus’s Four-Part Strategy: Fix Your Self-Image, Then Document Every Win

This lesson is part of Chicago 2013
The full recording is free with an account. One email gets you in.

You have looked at your bank balance more than once this year and felt the gap between what is sitting in it and the life you actually believe you deserve. Maybe you have already put money, even borrowed money, into a business that never worked out, and you are quietly wondering whether trying again is brave or just expensive. Vick Strizheus opens his session standing inside that exact gap, describing the year he quit his banking job, borrowed a large sum from a friend against the friend’s own house, and watched the whole thing disappear in ninety days without a single sale to show for it.

He is not telling that story for sympathy. He is telling a packed room of people quietly doing the same math on their own situation that the approach he is about to hand them worked on someone who once had nothing left to lose, right down to the exact change in his bank account.

What has to change in your head before your bank account catches up?

Strizheus traces his turnaround to a single piece of advice from a mentor he paid heavily for at the time it hurt most. The advice was not a traffic trick or a funnel tweak. It was that you cannot out-earn your own self-image. If you are used to thinking of yourself as someone who makes a modest amount a month, no amount of marketing tactics will carry you past that ceiling, because you will find a way to sabotage the result before it sticks. He describes reading Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and Psycho-Cybernetics and treating that work as seriously as any traffic course, because the belief has to arrive before the number does, not after it.

I did not have a dollar and 19 cents to my bank account, guys, did not have a dollar and 19 cents to my bank account, to, to go to the Walmart, and buy a loaf of bread to feed my family

That is the floor he built the rest of the story from. As Strizheus puts it, “unless you see yourself right now as a $20,000 a month earner, folks, and you cannot kid yourself,” the marketing knowledge sits on top of nothing. He is speaking directly to the internal conflict of anyone who has ever said the right words about their business while still doubting them in private, because that private doubt, he argues, comes through in every email and video whether you intend it to or not.

What do you actually do with your very first small win?

Here is where the teaching turns into something you could use before the next session starts. When Strizheus landed his first twenty subscribers from a small promotion, he did not wait for a bigger result before saying anything. He picked up a camera and documented it immediately, then offered to teach his list exactly how he did it, at no cost, purely as a thank you for subscribing. No pitch attached. He repeated that pattern at every stage, twenty subscribers, then a hundred, then his first sale, always teaching what actually happened rather than performing expertise he had not earned yet.

That habit, not some hidden traffic secret, is what separated him from what he calls the noise: the wall of other promoters hammering the same prospects with offers every single day. People do not follow the loudest pitch. They follow the person who was transparent with them before asking for anything, which quietly raises that person above everyone else competing for the same attention.

Why does talking about the future beat talking about the price?

Strizheus makes a distinction between marketing that leads with a low cost of entry and marketing that leads with a vision of what the reader’s life could actually look like. He argues that nobody joins anything because it happens to be inexpensive. They join because someone described the specific outcome they already wanted, underneath whatever professional layer they present to the world. He brought two team members on stage, Paulo Barroso and Miles, both of whom had spent years trying to make money online with nothing to show for it before this vehicle and this mindset combined for them.

Paulo’s answer, when asked what he would credit his result to, was one word: mindset. Not a script, not a tool, not a shortcut. Whatever you have tried before and watched fail, Strizheus’s argument is that the vehicle was never the missing piece by itself. The person using it had to change first, and the daily discipline of teaching what you learn instead of selling what you have not proven has to follow right behind it.

If you have spent money trying to build something online before and come away with less belief than you started with, this session is the corrective. It names the exact self-image gap that keeps capable people stuck at the same income for years, and it hands you a simple, repeatable habit for closing it one small documented win at a time.

make a million bucks if I haven't done it right but since I've done it right I can actually teach you how I did it and that's my intention for today okay so let me let's see where I start okay so let me let me start with this okay um you guys know I'm only 29 years old right I'm 29 years old so you don't you don't have to be you know you don't have to be you don't have to be somebody who well I gotta be over 40 to become successful I gotta be over 50 to become successful your age it doesn't matter right your age is irrelevant right um I started out I'm a I barely graduated high school okay in in high school my principal said you know I was I had had good grades you know but principal pulled me inside his off inside his principal's office and he's like Vic you you have you know your GPA is good but man we can't graduate you because you don't have enough days in school I was skipping school you know I mean I did not I was not into the education thing I mean that was not I mean I was I didn't know I wanted to help on you know got married when I was 20 years old founder you know found a girl I was he loved right and I'm going to figure it out why wait let's get married many we've been going up for about you know friends for about five years that married when I was 20 and was working for a banking industry earning about 300 you know $300 350 up to maybe four hundred dollars with bonuses per week okay and when I married before I got married this is what, this is what, this is what drove me, and I think before, before we start talking about money, guys, and all the, all the accolades, all the lifestyle stuff, and all that, everything that you, you know, that we all want in life, right, I think it's important for us to understand why we're here, and why we're doing what we're doing, okay, so my thing, when I got started, was I wanted to, I, before we got married, my wife, my future wife, at that time girlfriend, right, she was working at this, at this factory, where they were producing window blinds, okay, for windows, and so one time, I come visit her, and I see her, she's at work, right, she's working on the production line, hands all greasy, and dirty, and in the, in grease, and stuff, I'm like, and I look at through the window, I'm like, I didn't, I didn't realize she was working that hard at that time, you know, and so we were talking about getting married, and everything, so I made a decision in my, you know, inside of me, that I will not have my wife working when we get married, I will, my motivation was, I wanted to make sure that she can stay home, and she can do what she wants to do, and I wanted to make sure that she can stay home, and she can do what she wants to do, right, if she wants to work, she can, but, you know, I would prefer her not to work, right, just, just stay home, just chill, just have, you know, take her out from that environment, okay, so that was my motivation, okay, that's why, and so when we got married, you know, I'm working for the bank, 300 bucks a week, you know, all that money goes to pay for the bills for the apartment that we lived in, one-bedroom apartment in a, in a ghetto neighborhood, and, and you know what I realized, you know, I realized that there is no possible way, there's no way in the world that I would, you know, I would, you know, I would, you know, I would, you know, I would, you know, I would, be able to retire my wife from work, and, and support my family, you know, we, we have children, to be able to support my family in a way, not only to just get by, you know, and just pay for the bill, and have a dollar left in your, in your bank account, right, but we wanted to travel the world, you know, we wanted to, I would, I was always this, since high school, you know, I was always into these little businesses, you know, MLM, I tried, you know, some vitamin nutritional companies, and, you know, but I remember when I was, like, 18 or 17, a lady came, or a lady approached me at the mall, see, when I was, when I was 18 or 17, I looked like I was 30, you know, I had the big hair, and so people thought I was, you know, like 30, so she, she approached me, and she's, and she's like, hey, you want to earn money, do you want to earn, you know, an extra, I don't remember how much she said, per month, I'm like, yeah, of course I want, right, and so she was a distributor of a network market, or a multi-level marketing company, and she, she told me that she makes $10,000 a month, and that's all I needed to hear, $10,000 a month, I'm in, sign me up, right, so she says, okay, you got to order this, you know, the products, and, you know, it's going to be an ownership thing, but you got to order, you know, like $3,000 worth of products, or something like that, so I did, right, I did it without, you know, letting my parents know, because I was living with my parents at the time, and, and I got all these boxes, you know, being shipped to my, to my door, to my house, and I'm like, shoot, what am I going to do with this stuff, you know, so I snuck it in place, and nobody would know, but I did, I didn't sell a single thing, you know, I didn't sell a single thing, I wanted to be successful, I wanted to have this, this extravagant lifestyle, you know, I wanted to buy cool stuff in life, but until I figured out what my why was, I couldn't do it, so my why was, I wanted to make sure that I can provide for my family, we can, you know, travel, and live a nice lifestyle, I come across, I'm working for a bank, come across, a business opportunity, $7,000 to get in, you know, and I'm researching on YouTube, and this was like back eight years ago, I mean, guys, not that long ago, right, and, and, and I see all these guys, you know, promoting that, and, and, you know, putting up all these screenshots, and, you know, how much money they're making, their, their cars, and their houses, I'm like, man, that's what I want to have, that's what I want for my family, you know, and so I got so fired up, guys, I was, I was, I was bombarding my mind with the future, right, with how I wanted my life to look like in the future, right, and I got so convinced, man, I was, you could not convince me that I was not living that kind of lifestyle when I was working for a banking industry, right, so what I do is, you know, I come across this company, $7,000 to get in, but I don't have any money, I don't have any, you know, credit to go to the bank, young, right, so what I do is, I, I go to, I go to my friend, a friend of mine, he owns a business, and I'm like, man, I need to borrow some money, can you borrow me some money, I'm going to start this business, I'm going to make money, 90 days, I'm going to pay you off, can you, can you help me out, man, I got so fired up, I mean, I was convinced, I mean, there is no, there is no possible way this can go wrong, I mean, I was, I was sure this is going to work, right, so he's like, all right, how much money do you need, I'm like, okay, so it's $7,000 to get started, I would need some marketing money, and then, it would be nice to quit my job right now, you know, so I said, okay, can you, can you, can you, can you give me $30,000, and I said, okay, I'm going to start this business, I'm going to make money out, he's like, dude, you're crazy, $30,000, how are you going to pay that off, don't worry about it, man, I'm going to pay you off, I promise, 90 days later, it's going to be paid off, I'm so fired up, I'm so, but, you know, we were good friends, I mean, he knows, he knows me, he knows my parents, so he's like, all right, man, you know, but he's, you know, he told me, I don't have, you know, $30,000, but I can, I can go to the bank, my house is paid off, I can take it against my house, and I can give it to you, cool, so I write up, you know, a little note saying, I'm going to pay you back in 90 days, everything is good, I got the $30,000, I invest the $7,000 into an opportunity, and I start throwing money into advertisement, this and that, and the solo ads, and I was, I was just throwing money, trying to get rich, and so 90 days later, I realized that I just wasted $20,000, $20,000 gone, and what I did is, as soon as I joined that company, I quit my job, okay, I quit my job, because I was so sure I would make it, right, so no income coming in, 90 days later, I realized that $20,000 is gone, and we made a deal with my wife that $10,000, we're going to leave that to pay our bills, and, you know, and put the food on the table, because I'm not working, she's not working, I retired her right away, so, so $20,000 gone, and I made exactly zero, guys, zero money, it sounds like it's, it's made up story, but if my wife was, if my wife was here, she would, she would confirm that, she is at home with the kids, this is how I got started in this industry, guys, okay, and I had to make a decision, do I go and pursue my dream, right, do I pursue the lifestyle that I'm envisioning, that I have been so passionate about, right, or do I go get a job, and try to pay the $30,000 off, what would you do in that situation, and you have zero income coming in, you got bills coming in, right, you got to feed your family, and see, over the next, over the, over those 90 days, the $10,000 we had set aside to support the family, that money was being used for stuff like food on the table, bills, right, and all the good stuff, so, we're down to, I don't know, $5,000 or, you know, $6,000, something like that, and we, and we had to make a decision, guys, we had to make a decision, what do we do, okay, what would you guys do, seriously, what would you do, put, put yourself in that situation, we got down to the point where, I had, I did not have a dollar and 19 cents to my bank account, guys, did not have a dollar and 19 cents to my bank account, to, to go to the Walmart, and buy a loaf of bread to feed my family, okay, so right now, you know, when people come to me, and they say, Vic, my situation is different, that I can't, I can't get all in with this Empower thing, and I just started for 25 bucks, and I'll just see how it's going to go, listen, I, I don't buy that, you know, I don't buy that, because I know what it's like to be at the, you know, in a hole, you know, and, and, and, and so, being in that situation, guys, what, what does it feel like, and I, and I know a lot of you guys can relate to that, right, being in the position to where you are helpless and hopeless, okay, to where you have no idea what's going to happen to you tomorrow, you have no idea how you're going to buy bread for your family tomorrow, you have no idea, I was in that position, okay, and you have $30,000 burden on your shoulders that you need to pay within 90 days, okay, but it's already past due, okay, before I got, you know, before, right before I got to the zero thing, right, which had just a few, you know, just a few hundred dollars, or maybe a thousand, maybe less than $2,000 left, here's what is, here's what changed everything for me, folks, okay, everything changed for me this, I started to look around online, and I was, and, and this time I got serious, you know, I would stay up until 6 o'clock in the morning, 7 o'clock in the morning, I would, there was no plan B for me, I, I, I made a decision with my wife, we had a shop, baby, I'm not going to go to work to pay off this thing, we're just, that was not even an option, okay, that was not even an option, guys, no plan B, if you're writing stuff down, you may want to write this down, if you have a plan B, you're going to fail, I think that, okay, and I'm not saying, you know, I'm not saying to go quit your job like I did, guys, but, but in your heart of hearts, in your mind, if you have something that you can rely on later, well, I'm going to try this empower thing, thing right here.

Just get in for 25 bucks. I'm just going to dip my toes in the water just to see how it's going to go. But if I don't make money within my first two weeks, I'm just going to jump in this deal. Or maybe I have this J-O-B, right?

Which you guys know what it stands for, yeah? Just overbroke, yeah? I can get my $300 a week in paycheck here, but that's secured. You know, I know that Friday comes and I'm going to have 300 bucks in my account, yeah?

Well, you can do that, but you will never live your dream. Folks, and what I want to tell you right now is that all of you guys, okay? All of you, you guys can have what you want, okay? You guys can have what you want.

I'm about to tell you exactly how you get it, okay? But that's where I came from, okay? What changed, what everything changed for me is when I came across a mentor who told me straight up. He's like, dude.

He didn't say dude. He was an older guy and he was more professional than that. But he said, Vic, if you want to make money, you need to, first of all, you need to become the person, right? That you want to, if you're earning $1,500 or $2,000 a month right now, how in the world are you going to earn $20,000?

It's not going to happen unless you become that $20,000 a month person. Can't even talk, okay? And so he shared with me a strategy for shifting my self-image, okay? Unless you see yourself as a $20,000 a month producer, earner, unless you see yourself right now as a $20,000 a month earner, folks, and you cannot kid yourself, okay?

You cannot fake that stuff. You cannot tell your neighbor that I'm going to be a millionaire or I'm going to earn $20,000 or $10,000 or heck, $3,000 if you don't believe it, okay? You're not going to do it. You can talk about it, but you're not going to do it.

So it was easy for me because I had no plan B. So I decided to do whatever he tells me I'm going to do, okay? And you guys heard my story. You know, I say this, you know, if he would tell me to stand up for myself, I would do it.

I would do it. I would stand on one foot and make phone calls, I would do it. Folks, I was that teachable, okay? I was that teachable because there was no plan B and there was my vision and I wanted to reach that.

So I started to, you know, get myself a coach, got myself an internet marketer coach, and what I started to realize was that what I was learning and what I was implementing in my business was not actually working. And when I started to work on myself and started to implement certain strategies in my business, which I'm going to talk about, and we're going to talk about more about that stuff tomorrow as well. It may sound like it's whatever, yeah? Yeah, right.

It's the truth, okay? It's the truth. And so, guys, here's how I did it, okay? So there's four things I want you guys to think about.

Four things really, if I had to boil down to just, you know, what's the secret? Here's the secret to your success, okay? I believe, and this is my belief, to be successful, you've got to be successful. You've got to have the right foundation.

You've got to be the person, right? That you want to, you have to be before you can get, okay? So develop yourself to the person, to the level that you want to become, okay? Before you can have it here, you have to have it here in your mindset, right?

If you don't believe you can do it, you can do the marketing tricks. I can show you traffic generation. I can show you all kinds of stuff, but you're just not going to do it, you know? You're going to find a way to sabotage your success, okay?

So you say, Vic, what's the, you know, how do I start with this thing? Like, where do I go? You know, I don't have a lot of money. And by the way, I paid my mentor a lot of money, 500 bucks an hour, okay?

From the money that was just left, like 1,500 bucks we had left, I paid that money to my mentor to teach me this kind of stuff. So how do you start with that, okay? Here is the basis. This is the basis.

Guys, I recommend, that you read, okay? Read. What do you read? If you haven't read Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T.

Harv Eker, get that, okay? How many of you guys read that? Okay. If you guys didn't get, didn't read that book, read it.

Just go get it, okay? That was the first ever personal development book that I read. And it's not necessarily personal development. He's just talking about difference between, you know, the ultra successful versus people who are just struggling getting by, middle class and poor, okay?

And I didn't want to be poor, so I was focusing on the, what successful people are doing. And there is a difference. Do you guys know, right? There is a difference between somebody who is succeeding and somebody who is not succeeding.

There is a difference, okay? And so how do you figure out? Because essentially, it doesn't matter what country you're from, okay? It doesn't matter if you, you know, white, black, yellow, whatever, green.

It doesn't matter. If you strip down the cultural layers, right? Guys, we're all the same. There is absolutely no difference between me, Dave Wood, Dave Sharp, and you.

You know, Tracy? There's absolutely no difference, okay? So people, you know, people look at Vic. You know, Vic did 700 or whatever the thing is, you know, in 28 days, and he's special.

Guys, I'm not. I'm not. I just do, I just did certain things a certain way, okay? And this is the first thing I did, is I read Secrets of the Neoliter Mind, okay?

And then I got started on the journey of, you know, I got, I came across Bob Proctor. I'll just tell you exactly, you know, what did it for me. You guys know Bob Proctor, yeah? Came across his work and started to learn, and started to learn this personal development.

And I started to learn this personal development. And I started to learn this personal development. And I started to learn this personal development stuff. And it's not the voodoo stuff, right?

But it opened my eyes, and it opened the possibility for me that, you know what? I got this conviction and this belief that anything I can think about, if I can imagine it here, I can have it, okay? You could not convince me I wasn't already a millionaire, okay? And folks, then when it comes to marketing, so that's number one, is you got to grow yourself, okay?

I'll give you a couple books. If you guys want to read, highly recommend you read. I think, see, leaders are readers, okay? If you want to be on this stage next 90 days, right?

Or the next event, or a year from now, depending on what your goals are. Or if you're like me, if you don't care about being on a stage, you just want to make money, okay? Get Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker.

Read that book, okay? Get Start With Why by Simon Sinek, okay? And I'll give you another one. I gave this out on the live webcast or Google Hangout.

Psycho-Cybernetics, okay? It's talking about your self-image. If you start with those three books, guys, it's going to set you on the right path, okay? If you start with those three books, guys, it's going to set you on the right path, okay?

If you start with those three books, guys, it's going to set you on the right path, and then you will find, you will come across other stuff that you can follow later, okay? But that's the beginning, okay? Second thing which you need, guys, is you need to have the right vehicle, okay? If you're, I mean, I started out promoting business opportunities I got with ClickBank stuff, and I got to the point where I was making money, but it was like up, down, up, down.

You do a promotion, it's right here. Then next month, it's right here, you know? And so I needed a vehicle, right? And I became so-called successful online.

I mean, I was making money. Life was good. I mean, it wasn't anywhere near 700,000. But it was like a rollercoaster, you know?

And so I needed a vehicle, right? I was, I could not really duplicate my success, right? And I'm like, man, what's, I mean, I'm teaching these people, and I got my, you know, started to go into the product creation and stuff like that. And I'll tell you how I got there, guys.

I'll tell you. If you're waiting for the secret, let me tell you. I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you.

I'm going to tell you. It's an internet marketing secret. I'm going to tell you some strategies, guys. You can implement right away, right after this conference, right?

You can implement in your business, and you can, you can position yourself as a leader, okay? I'm going to tell you exactly how you do that. So, but, of course, I forgot what I was going to say. But yeah, yeah.

The vehicle, I was, I was, I was trying to duplicate my success, right? So I was, my thing is, you know, when you, when you're making, you know, 100,000 a year or 200,000 a year, and you got your bills paid, taken care of, you know, life is good, and you have some extra money laying around, it's not about the money anymore, right? It's about how can you do something bigger? How can you, you know, how, my thing was, how can I replicate myself as much as possible with my people, with my followers, right?

With my subscribers. How can I do that? So that became my big vision. And so I did not have a vehicle.

I was looking at this business opportunity, this, this. Well, you know, I thought maybe we can do something with ClickBank, right? Promoting other people's stuff sounds easy enough. You know, there's courses, people teaching you how to create your own products.

Good in theory, you know, sounds good in theory. Yeah, you have your own product. You can promote your own product. You're going to be successful.

You're going to be this guru, making all this money, right? How many of you guys have actually created your own product here? Anybody? Yeah.

Is it hard to create your own product, or is that easy? Right? I created my own products. Listen, you got to, you got to come up with the content that's going to be good, right?

You got to be good on videos, because everything is video right now, right? You got to have copywriters. You got to have designers. You got to have programmers.

You got to have IT department, support department, okay? If you want to do it yourself, you're going to have to work 36 hours a day, right? Which is impossible. And that's creating your own product.

Now, you don't, you can do that when you are making money by promoting somebody else's product first, okay? So, here I am looking for a vehicle to, that I can build something around that would help me replicate myself, right? And one guy calls me up, and he's like, man, there is a company that just launched, and 100% commissions, man, what do you think about that? And I, and I told him, give me, give me the link.

And he gave me the link, and I see this long-haired guy, talking like that, you know, standing in front of the whiteboard. And I look at him, I'm like, really? I mean, seriously? You know?

But he's like, yeah, man, 100% commissions, it's spreading like wildfire. I mean, in the beginning, you know, I'm like, well, man, I don't know about this. I mean, because I don't know if it's going to be sustainable. I mean, 100% commissions, how the, how is the company going to be sustainable?

I mean, if the, I know if the company is not making money, if they're paying out the 100% commissions, how the company is going to be in business? That's the question. That's the question. That's the question.

That's the question. That's the question. That was my roadblock. You know what I mean?

I didn't understand this whole thing. Because I'm coming from ClickBank, and ClickBank is 50% commissions. Yeah, 50% goes to vendor or whoever. Other companies, you know, they pay you commissions.

But the majority of the money goes to the company, right? So that's understandable. So I did not understand this compensation plan, and that's why it took me almost 10 months, guys, to decide to get in with Empower Network. Okay?

I was just watching them from the side. And, you know, then there came the, you know, merchant account issues, and I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. All right, we'll see what's going to happen next, you know? Maybe this is some kind of scheme or something, you know?

And so I'm still searching. I'm still, you know, trying to come up with a way to, you know, to replicate my success with my team. But then I started to get on their calls, okay? Dave Sharp was doing, you know, the inner circle calls, well, the opportunity calls or the Monday night call that's open to the public, right?

I got on one call, and I hear him talking about the vision, okay? I hear him talking about making a difference. And then I got another call, and I hear them talking about the vision, making a difference. I hear them talking about doing something big and helping the little guy.

And I hear success stories starting to pop up. And so then I started to take a look at this company a little bit more seriously. I'm like, well, maybe, okay? Maybe this is going to be something I want to test and see how it's going to go, right?

I think I was literally watching them really, really close for about a month. Every single week, get on the conference calls. I would research. I would watch, talk to people who are in it.

And then I make a decision. You know, when I, what really pushed me over the edge was that I called Dave Wood. Funny story. It actually took me, I don't know, Dave, like two weeks, three weeks to even get you to answer your Skype.

You know, I would Skype him. I'm like, hey, man, you know, my name is Vic, but you probably don't know me. I would like to talk to you. I'm thinking about joining Empower Network, doing something big, possibly.

I just want to talk to you. No answer. Maybe he's online. No answer, right?

And I would do another try. No answer. I'm like, dude, what's wrong with you, man? I want to do something here.

So anyway, so finally he answers. And I talked to him, and he's like, oh, yeah, man, yeah, this is real. You know, people making money. Yeah, we just had an event, and he's got that squeaky voice, you know.

Yeah, we just had an event, and people made, you know, half of the room stood up and made a lot of money and stuff like that. Yeah, people making money. It'd probably do good, you know. Sincerity.

You know, he was not all, yeah, yeah, get in, get in, get in, you know. He was laid back, you know. He sounded like he knows what he is doing. And you know, when you're at a certain level, you don't have to fake it.

You guys know that, yeah? You don't have to fake it anymore. And so that's what I sensed in Dave Wood's voice. So decided to get in, and I wanted to give it a test, right?

So I got, by this time, I already have a list built, you know, over the years. And I'll tell you how I did that, by the way. I'll give you guys some really cool stuff you guys can apply in your business in a minute, okay? But so by this time, I have a little bit of a following, a little bit of my subscribers, you know, some customers.

And I wanted to give it a test. So I pull out 1,360 people from my list. And I say, guys, you gotta, here's what we're thinking about doing. We're thinking about doing something big, something that has never been done before, right?

And so I just, you know, I'll tell you how you do that in a minute. If you just wonder, like, how do you do that? I'll tell you that, okay? Just hold on.

So anyway, so I do a little test campaign, right? And I talk about the vision. Another nugget, guys, for you guys, okay? If you're promoting, don't talk about, don't talk about the how-to necessarily.

Talk about the vision, okay? Talk about the future. Talk about lifestyle. People don't care about, well, it's 25 bucks.

Get in because it's 25 bucks. And you gotta get in because it's 25 bucks. People don't care about that stuff, okay? But if you talk about vision, if you talk about lifestyle, if you talk about what they want.

See, you guys all here, me included, we think we want money. That's what we think. Really, what you want is you want to have a lifestyle, right? So if you talk to people, so if you talk to people and talk directly to their core desire, not to their layers.

See, we put these layers on. You know, I'm a banker. You know, I'm a lawyer. I'm this, I'm this professional.

Oh, cool. Nothing wrong with that. But deep down, strip out all the layers. We want freedom, okay?

We want a lifestyle. We want to have, we want to have a lifestyle. We want to have a lifestyle. We want to have a lifestyle.

We want to be able to not worry about stuff in our life, right? We want to be able to pay our bills, to support our family. We want to be able to make a decision to go to Costa Rica if we want, just for the heck of it, right? And go on a limb, okay?

Without having anybody tell you what you need to do, okay? When you can take a break, when you can take a vacation, right? We want that kind of stuff, don't we? Okay, that's what we want.

So guys, one of the, you know, I like to call them golden nuggets. One of the golden nuggets I'm going to give you is this. When you talk to people, when you do your marketing, when you do your promotions, okay? When you do your follow-up sequences, talk to them and talk about vision because that's what people are after.

Empower Network is not about the money, okay? They would, Dave Sharp, they're not about the money. They don't care. That's why it's 100% compensation plan, almost, except master's course, yeah?

They are talking about vision. That's why in a year and a half, they have attracted over 120,000 people. And that's why in the next year, okay, they'll have 500,000 people. And in the next year, it's going to go to, you know, 100,000 people every week, okay?

Because of the vision. And yeah, so that's what you do in your marketing, okay? Part of what you do in your marketing. I'll tell you the rest in just a little bit.

So yeah, I do this little marketing test and 1,300 people, I talk about the vision, yeah? I talk about the vision. I talk about the future. I talk about, hey guys, we, you know, I want to help you I can't guarantee you income disclaimers, of course, right?

I can't because I can't and I want, but that's my vision. That's what we want to do, right? How would your life change if you did not have to worry about going to work, okay? But you can make the kind of money that you may be earning at work right now, but you can stay home with your kids, with your wife, right?

And do that from the comfort of your own home. How would you like that? See, people resonate with that kind of stuff. I don't talk about compensation plan at all.

I can't, I don't even understand it myself. How can I talk about it? I don't, I don't know how, you know, the details. I don't care.

It just works, right? So, but I talk about vision. I talk about what they want deep down, deep down, not on the outside, but deep down, okay? So, I do a webinar, 1,360 people.

We can only fit a thousand. So anyway, that promotion did $710,000 from that one promotion by talking about vision. How did I do that is the question, right? How did you get your people to buy your business?

How did you get your people to buy your business? How did you get your people all the product most most of those people to purchase all the products okay how in the world did you do that kind of stuff guys it's not because I'm somebody special here's how I did it I'm gonna be trying to be transparent with you and I'll tell you exactly how I did you guys want to know that okay how many of you guys are just getting started here just getting started yeah congratulations congratulations you guys are in the right place at the right time here is I'm gonna share with you guys some marketing stuff you cool with that okay if you're just getting started here's what you do okay so this is I can tell you from my experience because this is how I build my might you can I was gonna say Empire but I'm nowhere near you know that I mean what this is how I started in marketing this is how I became so called successful in marketing okay that's on top of the personal development stuff you have to do that if you're not into the personal development stuff forget about success you're just not gonna do it if you're watching TV if you're feeding your mind with negativity crap all the time right forget about being successful just forget about it it's not gonna happen okay if you have complainers around you okay if you're listening to complainers and if you're paying attention to complainers whatever your your your dominating thought is every single day whatever dominating your son you're you're thinking right whatever that dominating thought is it's exactly what you're gonna have in your life if you're dominating thought is abundance you'll have abundance you'll figure out how to have abundance you'll have you you'll have you will come across you'll find a way to become abundant and then successful and rich and whatever you want call it right if you're dominating thought is lack negativity I am NOT sure scared okay desperate it's gonna be very very difficult to be successful okay so it's how do you how do you get that dominating thought is by what you put in your noggin right here right what do you listen to what you watch and that's why you know inner circle is so important that's why the you know 15k formula is so important that's why masters course is so important folks I'm just telling you straight up okay that's why reading is so important that's why listening to inner circle is so important that's why listening to other audios of personal development is so important okay because you will have that conviction here's the thing folks okay here's the thing you will attract people who are like you you guys know that you will attract people who are just like you so if you this is this this the the the secret of this game is is lead by example okay if you want to attract players if you want to attract people who are who gonna resonate with you and just just do big big big things and you're with you in your business you have to be that person first you cannot be this little guy who's just trying and desperate to make money and attract somebody who's gonna you know who's gonna be a player in your business it's not going to happen guys okay it's not gonna happen I'm gonna tell you something that may sound weird okay but it's absolutely true and that is this the mindset with which you're doing it is exactly what that person is gonna feel when they read your stuff okay I can't explain it I don't care but that's how that's how it is okay I cannot explain how this stuff works electricity right I can't but it works okay when you guys are writing your emails and you're desperate for that sale they'll sense it okay if you if you if you're afraid of dog right a dog and and you and you you know you have this dog coming at you and then you're like man I don't care man I'm not afraid of you but deep down you're afraid what's gonna happen he's gonna sense it okay how does that work I don't know but it works that's how it is in your business okay in your business guys exactly the same thing when you do your videos whatever is going on in your mind when you're doing your videos when you type in your emails okay when you're promoting whatever is going on over here is exactly what you're gonna attract okay so it's very important guys for you to have the right stuff going on over here before you can have good stuff over here okay so back to empower Network I we do this promotion I start people seeing success right so thing number two is you got to have the right vehicle thing number one was personal development right always constantly right now guys have spent about five thousand a month on growing myself to even higher level because if you don't grow you're gonna die it's either created disintegrate you're not gonna stay in one place ever okay doesn't work so constantly personal development constant personal growth because if you don't put good stuff in negative stuff is gonna go in by default you don't want that okay thing number two is the right vehicle folks all I'm gonna

secret how do I how to make here's how you make it work okay here's how you make it work when you have a subscriber come into your funnel okay when you have an opt-in let's say if you run a solo ad you get 20 people to your list okay what I did in the beginning guys hear me out what I did in the beginning is I would as soon as I got you know I do a little promotion something small right I got 20 subscribers to my list I flip I get my video camera out and I record that baby you know I would record my little success 20 subscribers in a day I say hey you know I just got 20 subscribers and I would not say in a day you know if I just you know say if I run a solo ad and solo ads I mean it's usually really really quick you know you can get those 20 subscribers in like you know a couple hours okay a lot of times and so I would you know whip out my video camera I would do a documentation of that small success 20 subscribers folks okay and I'd say hey with conviction in my heart like I'm already a millionaire right and I'm broke but I speak as if I have already earned a million dollars and this is like a no biggie for me all right and I'm the this master all right I know what I'm doing right I would I would record that I would say hey 20 subscribers in two hours listen what I'm gonna do for you is I'm gonna show you exactly how I did it just to say thank you for being my subscriber I'm gonna teach you exactly how I did this you know a couple days from now and just said either a webinar or some you know or even even an email that you're gonna send them but you're gonna say hey I'm gonna teach you exactly how I did it and you know what you do is you do that okay in my case when I got started I was I would you know I get myself a free tele a free conference called calm just a free line okay I'll tell a conference to dial in and we can you know I could just talk to the to them on a phone and they could listen to me right so that's what we used in the beginning I

is what you can do and you know what people did people said wow you know because you've been completely transparent with them not asking for the sale right not asking for you for their money just give them value okay next time you run a solo ad or a promotion and you get a hundred subscribers guess what you do you do the same thing okay and and and teach your people talk to your list and teach them give them something give them something of value teach them what have what what you did right you guys are all here right now at this event okay how many how many of you guys got at least one golden

and I'm more confident that he is than he is, you know what? He is going to listen to me. Make sense? He is going to sense that and if he doesn't have the money to do it right now, he's going to do it as soon as possible.

Guys, this is a big secret. Okay, big secret. Most people don't understand that stuff. Most people say just, they just look at the money thing.

Well, I don't have it. I'm just not going to do it. Okay, I just had a lady in the hallway, you know, come to me and she's like, Vic, I need your advice, man. What I have, I want to go all in.

I have the money. I want to go all in, but my sponsor is telling me not to go all in because she is not all in. What should I do? What should she do?

You know what I told her? You know what I told her? I told her not to listen to your sponsor. Go all in, you know?

Is Paulo Barroso in the house? Paulo Barroso, are you here, man? Come up over here, bud. Real quick, real quick.

Guys, give him a hand. I want to hear it. I want to hear it. I want to show you the power of having that conviction, right?

I want to show you the power. Guys, this is not about Vic making, you know, I mean, whatever the number is, 700 or 1. I think I actually just crossed 1.5 million within power in like 100 days or something like that. But this is not about me.

This is about this. Hold on one sec, guys. I want to, I'm just going to, you know what? I'm going to flat out shatter any disbelief you guys have right here.

Paulo, grab the mic, brother. I don't know if it's on or not. This guy, he's going to shatter any disbelief you guys have right here. Paulo, how long have you been trying to make money online for?

Eight years. Eight years. Okay, so he joined Empower Network. For eight years, he tried to make money online.

How much money did you make? What's the most amount you made in a month? In a month you're empowering me? No, no, no, no, no.

During the eight years you tried to make money. Nothing. I lost over $20,000. You did not make any money?

Nothing. Zero. Okay. How much did you make with Empower Network?

Now, when did you join again? January. January. Yeah.

Okay, so January. January this year or last year? Sorry, January this year. I mean, you're on my team, so I just joined in December, so you couldn't have been last year.

And he told me this, and you know what, guys? It blew my mind because I knew that, you know, I mean, we've got a bunch of people making money with Empower. Heck, 98% of people, all of you guys, 98% in the room last night stood up because you made money, right? How much did you make with Empower Network so far?

Two days ago, I looked at my back office, $99,000. Now, guys, how many? Yeah. So, Paolo, in your words, in your words, man, yeah?

Now, tell me the biggest, the biggest, well, for me, it was the biggest. You know, when he texted me, he's like, Vic, dude, I just quit my job. I did, yeah, two Fridays ago, yeah. It was, like, just a few weeks ago, yeah.

And what did you do before? What did you do? What kind of work did you do? I was a printer.

I had a printing business. Printing business. So, were you, like, was that your business, or were you working for somebody? I was still…

Part of the business, yeah. It was partially my business. So, it was partly your business, okay. Yeah.

How much money were you earning then? I was making 4,000 UK pounds. Guys, this is an example of somebody being focused on what he's doing in his online marketing stuff, okay? So, thanks, Paolo.

Now, one more question. What would you attribute to your success? I mean, what's the one thing, if you just take one golden nugget, and again, this is, you know, I have no idea what you're going to say, but one golden nugget, if you had to come up with it, what would that be? I would say mindset.

Yeah, definitely, mindset. Yeah. Everything changed from the time when I came across Vic, and all I wanted was to learn about traffic, and I kept asking him, teach me about marketing and traffic, and he just gave me the foundations. And he told me to, you need to start thinking the right way, and you need to focus, and I gave everything to Vic.

All my success, really, was down to Vic and the foundation that he put me on. He put it into me, and the time that I start thinking and focusing my mind and reading the books, and I remember he gave me this 30-day step to do, to read and to watch the videos and do all the stuff, and I didn't understand that, but I just followed it, and I did it, and my life changed. And if you focus and you have the right mindset, you can do it, too. English is not even my first language, and if I can do it, guys, everyone here can do it, too.

How much money would you have made if you were not positioned to make money? To get commissions on all products? Not that much. I wouldn't have ever made $99,000 if I wasn't all in.

So, everyone here should go all in, really. So, mindset positioning, okay? Miles, you in the house? Miles, come up over here, real quick, bro.

We got, we literally got 30, I mean, we're past our time. Thank you, Paula. Guys, give him a hand. Folks, I can have, Miles, real quick, man, real quick, real quick.

I can, I can, guys, I can tell you, I can bring people one after another, one after another, one after another. We got to chop, chop, chop, chop, because Dave's going to fire me, man. He's going to, and I don't want to get fired from Empower Network. Bro, how, when did you join Empower Network?

January. January. How much money did you make before you joined Empower Network? What was your biggest month ever?

Before Empower Network? And what did you do up to, yeah? It was zero before Empower Network. And I was actually in the real estate industry, and I think we all know what happened there.

So, my wife and I out there, we were on fumes. It was tough. Yeah. When did you join again?

January. January. How much money did you make so far? Right around $35,000.

$35,000. How many from zero, making zero? Well, I actually got back to the room last night about 3 a.m. I had made $1,500 additional.

$1,500. Is that, what, did you just have like a bunch of basic member sign-ups, or was that like one, how did you? No, I got quite a few diamonds with my team. Guys, believe it, okay?

How many of you guys believe that you can do this thing, okay? Listen, believe you can do this thing, okay, folks? Thank you, Miles. Guys, give him a hand real quick.

Give him a hand. Thank you, man. Good job. Good job.

I'm proud of you. Guys, guys, you can say, Vic, you're successful because you're whatever, right? People are making money, but you got to get focused, okay? Miles would not make the kind of money he made if he was not focused.

Paulo would not have made the money that he made if he was not focused. We would not have people on our team making $10,000, $20,000, $30,000 per month if they were not focused, if they were not developing themselves because I'm adamant about it. You know what? One thing we do on our team, and this is what you can implement on your teams, okay, because I do want to give you guys the stuff that's going to make a difference for you, okay?

I can be here all night talking to you about stuff, okay? But I want to boil it down to this. Remove the negativity from your team, okay? Remove it.

Don't tolerate it, okay? Don't tolerate. Don't. I had to fire, you know?

I had to remove. I had to remove one person from my team just because she was all in. She paid $5,000 that went to me, okay? She was being negative in our team, and you know what we did?

We said we can't work with you because one bad apple is going to spoil the whole barrel, folks. You've got to protect your team, okay? You've got to have a vision, okay? Why do you do what you want to do?

Why are you here? All right? Why are you here? Seriously, why are you here?

Are you just here because you want to make an extra $25? Are you here because you want to make an extra $100 a month? You can do that doing ClickBank stuff, right? Or are you here to build a dynasty for yourself and for your family, okay?

Are you here because you want to make a difference for yourself and for your team? Guys, when you start talking about that stuff, when you start talking about doing big things, do what Dave and Dave are doing, right? They're talking about vision. Folks, if you model that for your business, for your team, okay, folks, results will come, but you've got to be prepared for it, okay?

If you're not positioned, if you're not all in, if at all possible from your side, get all in, okay? Don't hesitate, okay? You can't tell me, Vic, I don't have the money because I borrowed $30,000 to get started with the previous company, okay? So, folks, it doesn't matter.

Your situation doesn't matter. How bad do you want it is the question, okay? How bad do you want it? If you want it bad enough, if your dream is worth it for you, go for it, okay?

Get focused. Go for it, guys, because this is your future, okay? This is where you can make your dreams become reality. I have never made $700,000 a month.

Doing other stuff. And you know what I do? This is 100% of my focus right here, okay? People say, Vic, what's your residual?

Last night somebody said, Vic, what's your take on residual or multiple streams of income? What's your take on multiple streams of income? You know what I told them? My multiple streams of income is helping my team members get this guy to $100,000 a month, get this guy to $50,000 a month, get this girl to $20,000 a month.

That's my residual income. And that's my multiple sources of income. Guys, get ready. Get focused.

Position yourself for success. Get all in, all right? Guys, thank you. But you know what?

I'm sharing this with you from my heart, you know? I'm sharing this with you because that's what's working for me. That's what I see what's going on in my team. And Paul is having people on his team at this event making money.

Why? Because we're focused, okay? I'm not dipping my toes into everything. I mean, I got 80 people, at least 80 people hitting me up about some kind of app thing.

I don't care. I don't care. Seriously, I don't. I don't.

Here is why. Because if you're going to be scattered as a leader, you all are leaders here. Okay? I mean, people who are not serious about their future, they're not going to show up in Chicago when it's flooded.

You know, people who are not serious about their future, they will not do what you guys did. You guys are leaders. Okay? You guys are doing what 98% of other people don't want to do.

And you deserve a hand for yourself. Okay? Guys, you are all leaders. all leaders okay believe that you are a leader now here's the thing if as a leader if you're gonna be scattered if you're gonna do a little bit of this little bit of this little if you don't know what you're doing and you're not focused 100% it's just just like that Sun right the Sun if it's warm outside you just feel warmth right and it's just feels good yeah it's warm but if you take the the sunlight and you narrow it down be laser-focused through the magnifying glass you can start a fire with it okay same energy same source you can start a fire you guys want to start a fire with your in your in your empowered network business you guys want to light it up on fire you can do that okay you can do that when you're focused I'm gonna repeat thing number one is personal development thing number two what do we say vehicle okay we got those two taken care of don't we yeah thing number three is you got to be positioned thing number four and positioning folks is this it just last thing I'm gonna tell you is it just get on seriously just just do it okay just do it get the money you know if God forbid if somebody you know if somebody said listen I'm gonna take your child you're not gonna see your child unless you make $5,000 next month what would you do you make $5,000 you'll find you'll find a way to make $5,000 okay unless you have that conviction unless you have that mindset unless you have that mindset you're not gonna become a millionaire but all of you can become a millionaire all of you guys all of you I would have never imagined being here earning over a million dollars in just a couple months and it's not about the money it's about Paula Barossa's it's about marks it's about smiles and it's about the team that's behind us guys you can make a big difference in this industry okay this is the best industry to be a part of and you guys can make a big difference in this industry with this vehicle okay thing number four last thing I'm gonna I'm gonna say before I wrap this up thing number four is this forget about money okay forget about money forget about money don't be desperate okay don't focus on the money focus on making a difference guys focus on lifting your people up focus on sharing what you learned tonight tomorrow what you have learned last night share that being share that with you know freely with your with your followers with your subscribers just give okay give and don't expect to get and just watch what happens guys this is how I built my business okay so in closing here's I want to tell you guys okay you are all winners you are if a guy from a different country okay who barely graduated high school with no special skills who were thirty thousand dollars in debt and did not know what's gonna happen tomorrow can do it oh you can do it guys believe that Guys, you're all winners and you deserve to be successful.
