I could've just commented but this is worth a post imo. I came across this story that blew my mind and immediately thought of what Travis is teaching here. So some guy in Arizona. No money. No inventory. Just a smartphone and a TikTok account. He's walking down Main Street one day - you know the kind, where mom and pop shops used to see foot traffic every afternoon. But nobody walks anymore. Everyone's on Amazon. These shop owners - older folks who've been running their stores for decades - they're sitting on inventory that won't move. They don't have TikTok. They're not on social media. Product just sits there generating nothing. Most people would see two separate problems, right? But this guy puts on his investor goggles. He walks into a shop and says something clearly different: "I'll set up a TikTok Shop right here in your store. Give me access to your inventory. I'll go live and sell it. You keep 50% of every sale. I handle everything." The shop owner had nothing to lose. Zero cannibalization of existing sales (there weren't any). Zero upfront cost. Zero risk to reputation. The owner said yes. Here's what happened: The guy started moving inventory that had been sitting dead. He repeated this at shop after shop across Main Street. That year, he made $750,000 part-time. The shop owners got revenue from inventory generating $0. Customers got 20% off retail. Three winners. Zero capital required. This seems like exactly what Travis means by "investor training wheels". The guy didn't speculate (buy inventory and hope it sells). He didn't gamble (throw money at ads and pray). He CREATED MARGIN from nothing by asking the core investor question: "How do I add $100 of value for $1 (or less)?" His answer: Use my existing skill (TikTok) to transform their "trash can" asset (dead inventory) into a digital vending machine. Every single time: Find what's generating $0, relocate it to where buyers are, split the new money. This is why the "training wheels" concept clicked for me.

I started learning to invest dead ass broke and with ZERO bucks. It doesn’t require money to step into the investor stance. Most peeps are not investors at all. They are speculators at best, gamblers at the worst. Why? Because they never learned to invest WITHOUT money. Becoming just an “okay” investor will put you ahead of 99.9% of the population. Once you learn to invest WITHOUT money… You will be DEADLY with a few bucks. Over 50 of you said let’s test this Skool live thingy! It’s happening. Do you want me to do our first Skool live on: Million Dollar Investor Training Wheels? “Yay” “Nay” “Another suggestion” 👇 If I don’t get enough “yay”… We’ll pick another topic. Rooting for Ya, Travis

Finally, landed partners I'm 100% confident have everything in place to run a winning auction! Partner 1: Sales coach with a crazy strong personal brand AND a paid Skool of 148 members. Thinking for this one there's more juice running an auction on his personal FB profile first. Partner 2: 90,000 person group in the FB ads niche in the Latin American market, with lots of activity and ZERO monetization. I would be surprised if we don't get at least 100 sales here.

Do you remember? 👇

If you were to give away $10,000 to a deserving business owner who was TRULY making a difference because they ARE different… Would you load up 1453 emails from rando businesses and send a “pitch”? Would you kiss THEIR ass? Praying they’d let you mash your lips against their glorious buttocks so you could give them $10k? Wouldn’t you ask THEM for references? Wouldn’t you see who they really are? What they are really about? Why they are different? Would you LAUGH if THEY asked, “How many people have you given $10,000 to in the past?” 😂 Or maybe sense that they don’t understand? Do ya see where I’m going with this? You are tapped into the Ronin network. We collectively have decades of experience pulling $100s of millions from email, communities, licensing, repurposing offers. We are running 5 and 6 figure auctions…that nobody even has a clue how to run outside the Ronin Mojo world. We’ve run campaigns that routinely bring in 5 and 6 figures! You were smart enough to invest in Ronin! You are a part of WE. You are Ronin. That is far more valuable than $10,000! Especially because Ronin operate on a success first basis. We give our value (like $10k) UPFRONT! Don’t fall prey to societal programming that says money has more value than experience, wisdom and network! Don’t pucker up and kiss their ass! Don’t expect them to pucker either! But holy hell… Your time, energy and the Ronin network of experience YOU are tapped into shouldn’t be devalued like you’re selling bootie hole on OnlyFans for the price of a Big Mac! There are no magic words! Even “Can I pay you for _________?” It MATTERS what you put in the blank and the STANCE you take. It will be DIFFERENT for every partner you are considering giving $10,000! You are bringing DECADES of collective experience and $100s of millions of cash pulled in. …just by being part of Ronin and UTILIZING the network you’ve invested in! Now go find and qualify a partner that meets YOUR investment requirements!
