I have a friend named Bobby Castro.
One of his favorite phrases is "Stack'em and Rack'em Savages."
And what that means is when you land one win, keep going for the next one.
Stack them bitches up.
For most people, they'll get a win and coast.
When I worked at the car dealership, no one would help the people walking in.
Instead, they'd be calling their leads or be conveniently at the copier.
They completely ignored the low-hanging fruit.
When I worked at the mortgage company, I worked the CRM, called, the leads, sent emails, and in a very short order of time, I was top producer.
And it's all because when I got one win, I'd stack another. But you have to leverage the tools you have at your disposal every single day, win after win.
Stack'em and rack'em savages.

Back when I was coming up, I was fortunate enough to have met the late Zig Ziglar.
I've also met his son who has come to my office a couple of times.
Zig wrote a book called, "See You At the Top."
He said something in that book that struck a cord with me..............
"If you help enough people get what they want, you'll get what you want."
This addage still holds true.
But not for most people.
Most people are more concerned with what they need.
What they want.
And as a result, they end up chasing a bigger house, better paying job, vacations, and status, only for it all to slip through their hands.
This is your chance to be the 1%.............
You may have to help 5,10, 15, or 20 poeple get everything they want before you get what you want.
Remember that.

This one is going to blow your mind and I'm going to tune you in to a mass exodus that's been happening in the Digital Marketing space and business in general.
The days of "Greed is Good" are over.
They're coming to an abrupt end quickly.
The reason?
No one is buying bullshit.
Not your bullshit or anyone else's bullshit.
We live in a world where if you've not figured out how to provide value at an exponential scale, you are not going to be running your own business for long.
Recently, I've made a shift and my grand vision for what I'm doing has required me to give away the thing that was my main thing at 80% off and it's on track to be given away for free in the near future.
For now, I'm focused on helping as many people get what they need to help them succeed.

I had a guy reach out to me on Sunday morning in the DMs at 7:30 am.
He wanted to talk business.
That's cool.
I'm a busy guy and love business, but this guy was once in the Apex network I created.
He was in for a few years.
Over that time, he had access to me, just like most poeple that come into our network.
I've helped him with multiple things in life and business over the years and this particular morning when he reached out, I fired back at him asking why he wasn't asking the person he currently has as a mentor.
As I was drawing boundaries and pushing back on him, I reminded him of a time I offered to help him build out his AI platform for a nominal $5K. Well, he backdoored me and went straight to the source.
He didn't like that much when I presented facts and further asked why he wasn't talking to the guy he hired to mentor him.
The truth is, there aren't many in this space I'm in that would take the time to entertain his questions on a Sunday morning.
Let's just say he didn't like the boundaries I layed down for him.
When people don't respect you, or value your time, they won't respect or value your boundaries, either.
It's a huge red flag.
Pay attention.

One of the biggest misconceptions most people have is we think other people actually care about us.
And nothing can be further from the truth.
People only care about what they care about.
When it comes to sales, it's important to remember, most popelpe are not going to jump at the first offer you make.
And I see so many people run the typical line of "Hey buy my shit."
"If you like this, then you'll really like this....it's only XYZ-dollars."
The truth is, you have to be a bit smoother when you're approaching people.
It requires you actually caring enough to take the time to find out what they like.
What they think.
What they enjoy doing.
Why they do what they do.
So how do you build rapport long enough to have a conversation and gain someone's trust, especailly if they're a perfect stranger?
I'm glad you asked.
I'm going to cover how to be a socail recon master in this episode and how to leverage it to make more connections.
Build relationships.
Make more offers.
And close more sales.

One of my favorite podcasts is the Joe Rogan Podcast.
He always has cool guests on ranging from every day people to Presidents, thought leaders, cutting-edge doctors, and most people that don't get the air time they deserve.
Six months ago, I was listening to an episode where he's talking with his guest about creatin being a powerful sleep aid.
I thought, "That's for working out."
It was the precursor to TRT.
Get big muscles and work out.
But as I listened, I did a deep dive on the company and the supplements that are transforming the way people live and finally get some sleep.
If you haven't heard of the comapny, check out Burst Nutrition based out of Dallas.
This episode has allowed me to sleep like a baby over the last 6 months.
If you struggle with getting restful sleep, I'm sharing my formula that keeps me fresh, rested, and ready to kick ass and take names in less than 6 hours a night.

Every week, I log tons of hours behind my desk, at my computer.
I'm pounded by blue screen time every single day, but I have to recharge.
Every Saturday, for the last 3 years, I've run to my ranch in Oklahoma.
It's a quiet, and beautiful space with winding roads and rolling plains.
There I have ponds, ATV roads, a river, cattle, fish, and everything else you can imagine.
It's my workplace for my body.
While I work out every single morening, getting outside and getting dirty is required.
There's always something to collect, piles of wood from fallen branches or trees, fires to start, cows to check on, and grass to cut.
I have no shortage of things to do.
I leave my phone and take off to the wide open spaces every single week.
I've found it's been hugely beneficial for my mental health and my physical well-being.
It keeps me connected to to planet and I look forward to the end of the weekend when I'm physically tired from the work, but mentally recharged to solve problems during the week.
At minimum, I would suggest you spend a full day doing some type of manual labor every single week.
It's juicing for the soul.
Get you some.

1981 China was nothing but farmers.
Today, it's one of the most technologically advanced civilizations next to the United States, the UK, Switzerland, Japan, and many others.
44 years ago, they weren't.
They had to invest in the tech in order to grow their civilization.
We're in the current age of A.I.
Elon Musk painted a picture of what's to come.
You're already seeing it....
The robots are replacing humans and within 5 years, 20% of the workforce will have been replaced by A.I.
So what does that mean for you?
If you don't accept the tech, you're going to be left.
The changes are coming in 5 years, but you have 5 months to figure out what you're going to do.

You've seen the roided out bald guy who says you have to work for him.
Apparently, that ideology didn't work for him.
I have a confession.............
I have given and give my employees steroids......
But mine are different.
I put my team on steroids by enhancing their lives with A.I.
I put them on A.I. assistants we call PET.
Performance
Enhancing
Technology.
We give them all the tools they need to make more connections.
Have more valuable conversations.
Close more sales.
If you want to have a team that's enthusiastic about working in today's modern age, you need to put them on some PET.
Best investment and enhancement you can give you employees and your clients.

Research has cited the average person spends 4 hours a day minimum scrolling on their phone on social media.
That doesn't include checking emails, playing games, etc........
That's just social media.
I'm sure I spend more than that on there before noon, but there's intention behind it.
I'm looking for something with intention.
Someone I can offer a product or service to.
A solution that no one has thought of.
A little humor to sprinkle into someone's day.
But, most people don't think about social media like that.
If you're tired of scrolling aimlessly without getting that dopamine hit or validation.........
I'm going to to give you the game here......

I'm going to share something with you and I'm not trying to brag, but lean in and listen carefully......
The audience......you know the one you thought you could fool and manipulate?
Well, they got smarter in the last year and a half.
And it's all thanks to tech and the advancements of A.I.
Your everyday consumer is on ChatGPT, watches tons of media daily and is woke to your cleverly concocted offers.
But here's the bad news for you......
You're going to have to work differently to keep their attention.
Engage them better.
And provide an irresistable offer no one else (including A.I.) has thought about........
We're doing things a bit differently at Closer Cap and stacking our tech like Godzilla and King Kong.
If you're not sure where to go, you've got to start with what you're offering to help people with.
Bring your notepad for this one.
And get ready to put in some work!

If you're a speaker or coach and that's all you do for a living, your industry is about to be over.
It's not just your industry, but many others.
No one is going to continue paying $50K-$100K per year to be in a mastermind.
Everyone has had to drop their prices, including me.
All of this has to do with A.I.
Demand versus access.
Right now, you have maybe 5 years to really catch traction in something else.
Universal Basic Income is going to be a thing. If you're not sure what that is, it's where everyone who is not running a business or working in a needed position that A.I. hasn't replaced will be given a universal basic income. (Think of it as socialism).
Heed the warnings.
The signs of the time are amongst us and your next pivot is going to determine where you come out in everything.
Research.
Grow and develop your skills.
Change is coming and will not wait for you to catch up!

Let's flash forward into the future 3 years.
You're applying for a job and you're going up against someone with an MBA. That person is well-qualified and is probably the more attractive candidate for the job.
Let's say you have an Associates degree, but you happened to learn A.I. along the way.
You've implemented it in every single job you've had over the last 3 years.
When it comes time to getting an offer letter, if the person with the MBA hasn't mastered A.I., they're not going to land that job over you.
That's the good news.
Keep in mind, companies like Sony are not going to come here and invest tons of money and ignore cheap labor.
Sure, they'll be here for a season, but the United States is not going to pay the high wages commanded by the American workforce, especially when there are ways to scale a company by simply using A.I.
There will be no unions to pay, 401K, retirement, etc.
It's not a viable proposition.
I say that to say this............
A couple of years ago, I had close to 100 employees.
Today, I have 30, thanks to A.I.
Each one of them knows how to leverage A.I.
They are agents of A.I. and this is what future employers will be in search of.
So, if you're thinking about what you should be focused on now..............it's becoming an agent of A.I.

I was in a Facebook group with mortgage professionals a few days ago and I noticed one person was asking about getting a printed copy of marketing materials I was sharing.
Instead of clowning on the loan officer, the group turned their attention to Real Estate agents citing how important it was to share their marketing materials with real estate agents and hard selling them on selling you as a loan officer.
None of the suggestions were the right answer and it boils all down to one thing.
That one thing requires you to ask certain questions, like, "What does this person need more than anything in their business?"
"How can I best help this person with their marketing efforts?"
Simply, it starts with not making it about you.
The truth is, it begins with becoming a person of value.
So, how do you become a true person of value?
It's not fancy marketing materials, or flashy websites, or co-sponsorships........
It's something more.......
Lean in and listen to find out.....

I am not a person who likes to do things the easy way.
My whole life, I've done nothing but do shit the hard way.
And let me tell you..........
The hard way is expensive.
It's painful.
People steal from you.
They run your name down.
They try and snuff out your business, your family, and even take your soul.
Here's what I know about being a hard head.
I'm grateful because of the experiences that gave me the lessons.
I learned how to be a better judge of character.
I learned how to be a good steward of my resources.
I've learned how to be a better father, husband, and businessman.
If I were to do everything I've done in my life, even as painful as it was, I would do it all over again, and not change a thing.
You can go the easy way, but it's a shortcut and you'll do yourself a disservice and miss out on the wisdom you need to truly elevate you in your life.

One of the most destructive things we do is ignore the signs.
The signs about the times.
Accepting reality that things are going to change.
It's no surprise.
The pendulum of life swings back and forth, but for some reason, we get caught in continuing to believe the lies.
The best thing you can do is to be wlling to surrender to the inevitable......
Change will always be a part of life.
Personally and professionally, you will continue to be called to pivot.
Make changes.
Sacrifices.
Sit with failures and gather the courage to come up with a plan.
But here's the secret......
Everything you're trying to figure out has already been figured out......
That's if you trust in the plan God has created for you.
All you have to do is be willing to pivot when the time comes.

There are shit bags in every nation, race, continent, neighborhood..........
They come in every shape, size, and form.
I know a lot of good Asians, Blacks, Mexicans, Africans.......Europeans.....
I know the good and bad in every sector represented in the human race.
They're everywhere.
One thing I can tell you is, you can't group everyone into one category just because one of them has made mistakes or became a bad example for their people.
We can't lump people together in anything.
Operating with absolutes.
It cripples us as a whole.
What I can tell you is, we do have a responsibility to call people out of every race, creed, color, etc.
As the human race, we have to make clear the directions of what's acceptable and not acceptable in society.
So, the next time you hear someone of a certain race, color or creed did something fucked up, just know there's a counter balance in existence.
One person does not have the power or authority to represent one whole population or segment of people.
Keep it light and do right, no matter the shades of good and bad.

I once had an event in my old office.
A man that ran a multi-billion dollar company in finance came to talk to some of my guests.
He talked about having to take a step back in his company, so he sold some of his cars, watches, and real estate.
He did this so he could have the capital necessary to build his company to a multi-billion dollar company.
This man needed to take a couple of steps back and advanced the money he was living on into the most capable hands to help him advance his company where he needed to go.
The same applies for everything you do in your life.
Sometimes you have a take a step back to reasses where you're trying to go and sacrifice today's luxuries or comforts for the benefit of tomorrow.
As a result of doing this, he was able to find killers in each area he was needing and was able to sell his company for a billion + valuation.
That's how you manage a team and lead from the front, and sometimes it takes you going to the back of the line and feeding those first who are the most hungry and capable to make things happen that you can't.

I have had some great teams in the past and had the worst teams in my time as a business owner.
Your team will make or break your company.
In business you might have an executive assistant, sales person, marketing person, and admin assistant.......all of them are charged with one task........push sales and bring them to the business.
Whenever one person drops the ball, they're hurting the team.
A bad team is filled with egos, all for one and one for all mentality, and this will absolutely destroy it.
I've had team members that have been present to pour into the staff, help and have great attitudes when it came to working towards one common goal.
This second team will absoutely skyrocket your company to profitable heights.
Find this team and get ready to flourish.
They're out there, but you won't attract them until you become a leader they can work for.

The other day I was watching a Youtube vide of a homeless guy walking around in LA.
My 13-year old walks in and bless him.....he's a rich kid. He's in private school and has no real concept of the rest of the world, even though I educate all of my kids on the various crevaces there are.
He's never been in a situation where he's had to deal with homeless people on the street.
He asked me why don't homeless people just get jobs?
There are 2 massive sectors of our society that have power.
There are the oligarcs of our country like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, the Zuckerbergs, Jeff Bezos, and there are the broke.......
There's a phrase coined by Daymond Johns.......it's "the power of broke."
If you know broke, you know you have nothing to lose so you do everything you can.
The rich have everything to lose.
If you want to be either one, you don't want to lose that mentality.
As you start having more, you'll have to communicate differently opposed to those who have nothing to lose.
If you want to stay rich, keep that edge and you'll never go broke a day in your life.
