My 35% mistake (and what it taught me about CONTROL)
Chad here... I made a HUGE mistake last year. And it cost me big time. See, I became a Virginia state rep for a company selling a fuel product. This fuel additive reduces emissions and saves on fuel costs. Dollar signs started dancing in my head because state reps were the ONLY ones who could sell to commercial companies. Every commercial sale was worth 35%. It was like an advanced affiliate program. If I landed a $100k monthly deal with say a trucking company... I'd pocket around $35k. Sweet, right? I went ALL IN. Used everything I learned from being in Travis's world to try and get sales. Spent months crafting copy, reaching out, following up... Yet I never got a single sale. Could barely get anyone to respond. But here's where it gets worse... The company kept changing the rules on me. Adding more restrictions. Making me run ALL my copy through their admin team first. Had to make sure I wasn't saying anything "off brand." Earlier this year I finally had to throw in the towel. Insiders were telling me no one was making sales. Not sure if others followed. The mistake I made? Pouring my energy and time into something I had ZERO control over. It's like being a race car driver but someone else controls your steering wheel. You can press the gas all you want... But if they don't turn the wheel, you're going nowhere fast. That's why as PiggyBANKERS, we need CONTROL over what we do. Not just the ability to make money... But the ability to steer our own vehicle. See, most companies that offer affiliate programs are just like that fuel company. They control the rules. They control the payouts. They control when you get paid (usually 30-45 days later). They can change everything overnight and there's nothing you can do about it. But licensing? That's different. When you license something, you pay for it once and can do almost anything you want with it. You can build a brand around it. Combine it with another licensed offer. Make it your own thing while keeping 100% of the profits.

Sometimes a sage, sometimes a shit-stirrer, but always me. Truth isn't mean. It's simply not sugar-coated.
