Tony and I put a done-for-you Skool community up for auction. $1 minimum bid. NO reserve. The top bid came in at $18k. That surprised the HELL out of us lol. When the dust settled...we pulled in $36k in about 24 hours.🔥 BUT... A lot went into dialing that offer in BEFORE bidding opened... We offered the winner a community built FOR them, their niche picked WITH them, their first 60 days of content done, and both of us wingmanning them for 12 FULL months. Then we stacked in some KILLER bonuses. Each one had a job... HINT: Give the owner more ways to earn. And we worked on how to make people WANT that whole package before the auction started. That’s what Tony and I would love to pull apart with you on Zoom... 👉 How to position your offer around something people already want. 👉 How to pick bonuses that make the whole offer stronger. 👉 How to PRE-SELL it so people show up already interested in bidding. Bring your questions about your own auction or a partner’s. We can talk through the thinking behind ours and what could fit yours. 🔥 Want a Zoom AMA with @Tony Teegarden and me to help dial YOUR offer in before the first bid goes up? 👇 If we get at least 50 votes we'll put it on for ya 👇

It's been 100+ degrees in Texas damn near every day. 🥵 So the AC has been running like it owes somebody money. Then the bill showed up. $395! And I just... smiled 🙂 Because my Skool affiliate commissions covered it! 100% Now here's my brainstorm... We just turned on the affiliate faucet for our Rockstars. 🚰 50%. Recurring. For as long as they stick around. So I got to thinkin’... What if we covered one of YOUR bills? Pick a bill. Kill a bill. Now I'm not gonna oversell this. Nobody's buying a boat. 😂 But a bill that shows up and just... doesn't hurt? That's a pretty darn good month if you ask me lol 👉 So tell me if this is a dumb idea? Would you be down to let us cover one of YOUR bills? Which one are we killing first? ⚡ Electric 🚗 Car payment 🛒 Groceries 🤖 The AI tools you forgot to cancel Drop the emoji 👇 (And if it's a stupid idea, lemme have it. I can take it.) P.S. The AC's still running. I still don't care. 🖕😎🖕

I shared how as a kid, I didn't need money to make money here. Then we discussed what the REAL GOLD IS in Part three... So far, there is not enough response to warrant a Part Four... But we had the 4th of July...so maybe that's it? I dunno? I was having fun. Today... On my Substack... @Evan DeVries one of my contributors... Shared one of my adventures... On how I used to flip cars... ...without ever BUYING the car. I'd make more money flipping ONE car than I did in a month in the Navy. This still works today. With Cars... With just about anything... Once someone UNDERSTANDS this... It's like a Checkbook That Never Runs Out... 👉Would ya like the link to the article on Substack? 👉or are we still recovering from our Independence Day Celebrations? 👇👇👇

I was a broke, freckle-faced 10-year-old boy... I was the oldest of 4 kids... My mom was single... And broke too. But I didn't let that stop me. I figured out what I now call: "A Gravel to Gold Sitch" Let's come back to that... One of my "income streams" was painting curb numbers for homeowners and renters whose addresses were either faded or completely gone. I knew my "pitch" wasn't a pretty address number. It WAS not getting COLD PIZZA because the pizza guy couldn't find your address. It WAS the ambulance, police, or fire department that found their home when every SECOND COUNTS. I'd charge $5 to $10, depending on whether I painted one or two numbers for them. (some wanted the number on both sides of the entry) Now... My investment for materials... Was about $10 to get fresh stencils, paint brushes and black and white paint. (From memory, this was a few decades ago 😁) I could paint about 10-12 address numbers from my $10 investment. Which meant $50 to $60 + tips for revenue. A $10 investment with a $60 return for an afternoon in 1977 was pretty solid. A lot of men/women were not making that... This is what I call the "Gravel to Gold Sitch"... Paint and the supplies are GRAVEL. I had the PROCESS: Take the paint and turn it into address numbers so the pizza guy and emergency services could find homes fast. Once I turned the paint into an address number on a curb... I turned a little bit of paint (gravel) into (gold)... NOW... If You Think That The money Was The Gold... HUGE MISPERCEPTION Don't get me wrong... It bought Snickers bars, walkie-talkies, and other stuff when I was 10 years old... But that wasn't the GOLD REALLY. (Hang on tight for a sec.) So... Here was my big fat problem. I was a broke kid. My mom was broke. How did I get my "start-up" capital? I PRE-SOLD! I'd knock doors and when I got a "YES."... I just had them PAY ME UPFRONT... Then I'd bike it to the hardware store and buy my supplies! I still PRE-SELL most stuff to THIS DAY as a 58-year-old.

You know me. I love tv. This weekend I was watching the Yellowstone spinoff: The Dutton Ranch Soooooo Gooood! Way better than Marshalls, the other spinoff. I mean, Marshalls is good, but there's no Yellowstone Vibe. Now... Here's the part I wonder if you'd be open to? While I was watching Rip and Beth move from Montana to Texas... I was also replying to DMs. ...and made a $5900 sale. Now... This was a personal sale... But... There's a way that anyone can do this for swamped business owners. (There are a LOT of swamped biz owners today.) ...and get paid 30% to 50% of the sale. $500 to $2000 commissions aren't unusual. We do this on the regular. IMO... It's even better than doing it for my own biz. Why? Because I get the commish without needing to deliver a product or service. I'm curious? I've got an explainer-type video that lays this out... I'm pretty bumbly. It's 19 minutes. If I posted it here in Rockstars... 👉Would you watch it? 👇👇👇 If I get enough responses, I'll post it for all the Rockstars. If not... I'll just DM the interested...and get back to the Duttons! 👇👇👇
