Chapter II

His mindset and hit.

He's not collecting the money he earned.

  • "They don't have vital people that are able to explain them and help them make their money work for them."
  • But everybody talks about sales this and sales that, but if you don't have any leads, if you're not making to anybody, they're not going to be able to buy from you."
  • "So, it is up to you and me to make the most of every single day we are given on this earth."
  • When people ask me, "What have I learned from Billionaires?" It's this right here.
  • "This has never been done before. And you get direct access to my network every single week."

The beginning of his story.

  • He claims to be a university student at University of Texas, working as a worker and on site for money, working as a medium, all in four years ago, with multiple income lines such as marketing agents, consulting firms, subscriptions to community and brand partnerships.
  • At the University of Texas, there were only a few thousand dollars in savings (Chick-fil-A, work-in-work, work-in-work), three years ago, and two co-founders in all in the media, with 10 million fans, 3 billion playouts, using 'vertical integration' to turn traffic into brand cooperation, content agency, paid community and advertising revenue.
