Mindset Execution Money
Trump won.
No, I didn’t vote for him.
People are freaking out and feeling uncertain about the future. They don’t need to if they have a plan.
The truth about the election is that Trump found his audience and told them what they wanted to hear. Then he was rewarded by being elected as President, against all odds.
There are business lessons worth learning from this election, about finding a hungry audience and speaking to them in a language they understand.

This was a live stream and a little whiteboard action for you! Check out the stream here or read the summary.
We do video inbound marketing.
There is Content Marketing
There is Influencer Marketing
There is Direct Response Marketing
This is what we do.
Content marketing is blogs, video, and tweets. How can all these people with so many followers not make any money?
It may be content marketing, but typically it has no purpose. This is where most people go wrong. Also, it doesn’t have an audience.
Influencer marketing has an audience and a demographic. A lot of influencers become unintentional marketers. If you get big in that market, like a famous skateboarder in the skateboard culture, you become an influencer.
Direct Response marketing is finding an audience and asking them to do something. This is the fastest and most expensive way to make money.
Let’s say you’re a skateboarder and an influencer. You’re going to spend money on Facebook or YouTube ads to grow your income.
Other people see what you’re doing since online is transparent. People will find out your keywords and start competing with you.
Why video marketing kicks all that in the ass…
YouTube is the King of video right now, with How To videos, cartoons, movies and porn
Facebook is the king of current events, drama and storefront preachers or people with an agenda.
YouTube wins with ranked videos. I’ve got videos that are 5, 6 and 7 years old that still make money. In Facebook, once you stop spending money, the income goes away.
What we do is use ranked videos and storytelling content. When I wrote my first book, I sold it by talking about my life as a storage auction person which prompted sales and created the channel. That’s it in a nutshell.
There are two companies.
Hustler’s Kung FU is how to start a business, how to hustle…those kinds of things.
Valencia takes over for a minute at the whiteboard.
We talked about bridging the gap. It blows my mind how they some companies or people have a big following but they make no money.
I want to show the whole process of trial and error – the process.
I struggled with finding the type of content to start a business. People don’t always go into the struggles. People don’t go into production and buyers.
Those are things I wanted to touch on. Cameron’s back. I’m back.
_________
Cameron takes over again at the whiteboard.
One of the things we’re going to do that is really different than before is to really train people.
I am going to create marketing courses and I am going to teach you guys exactly what I do.
We are going to do business education. We are going to really educate people. We have a nice space with training rooms. There’s going to be a live event, probably in September.
There’s Mack Daddy Media. There’s going to be a physical product and two more things I’m waiting for information on.
You will see results.
I haven’t been a reseller in a long time. We are going to do a course on How to take a YouTube Channel to increase EBay or Shopify sales. We are doing that for a client right now.
Question from audience: Any tips on how to get good employees?
Answer: Practical Hiring. I asked Valencia to introduce herself on film for 30 seconds. She did it. How many people do you think I asked to do the same thing? I asked 50 and 2 did it. One got scared.
I said I’d hire in two’s in case people disappear.
50/2…that’s terrible. My total hiring costs were $900 to $1200
Here is what I do…
Practical Hiring
Why I’m not using Virtual Assistants?
They’re awesome, but not physically present. There is also a language barrier and often the grid goes down.
I want to do weekly classes and I can have local employees help me. I can do much more with local employees.
I can build an agency from $3,000,000 to $ 10,000,000 in three years.
I went to events and talked to a lot of internet people with names you’d recognize, people who are teaching. I found out I was making more than most of them.
I’ll tell you how they make money. It’s called Joint Ventures (JV)
They leverage each other’s audience, which is smart. They don’t make pure internet money though.
When I launched Hustler’s Kung Fu the first time, I did $300K in six weeks, pure internet money. There was no paid traffic, no affiliates, and no joint ventures. It was pure internet and came from inbound internet marketing. Nothing but YouTube.
That’s the stuff we’re going to talk about in future courses.
Question/Comment from audience: I notice the resume does not seem like a real factor for you.
Answer: Resumes are good. Resumes are real. Let’s go with people. People come in all flavors. So, you have someone with this resume and it is great. Then they get the job and they are terrible. I’ve learned there is a big disconnect.
The disconnect can be a personality issue. There are many factors.
What happens is: Jobs are systematic. They aren’t designed for various personalities of people.
Part of the reason people are terrible is this: NO REAL TRAINING!
When I worked for Rent a Crate years ago, they spent about $30,000 training me. We spent the whole week learning how to use Gold Mine. The President of the company sat in on my sales calls. This went on for a few months. He was a Mother Fucker. I got scared. They flew us up to Massachusetts to a nice lake home. The President would say, “You don’t give a fuck,” or “you’re lazy.” He was fair. Afterwards, we’d drive around Boston Commons in a limo.
The Practical Task knocks out 70 to 90 percent of candidates.
_______
Cameron turns to floor over to Valencia. She goes to the whiteboard to explain her retail Gucci experience.
When I worked for Gucci which is a luxury retail niche with lower foot traffic, I had to build my clientele. The reason I was so good is because I figured out a way to sell to people with PowerPoint. I liked visuals and graphics. I was selling $1 million to $2 million per year. These people weren’t just my clients, they were my friends. That’s how I made my numbers.
_______
Cameron takes the floor again.
Direct Response Marketing. That’s what she did.
Nobody wants to train. Everybody is looking for a rock star, an A+ employee. If you take someone with a good personality and some drive and train them, you can turn them into an A++ employee.
Be sure to get on the Hustler Kung Fu Live email list to find out about when we will show you how to use YouTube to make more money with your eBay store.
Watch the video or read the summary. During the summer the sales of “some” businesses plummet! This is what you can do about it.Right now. The time is to buy. All the links are below the video with some goodies and deals for the holidays.
Number 1 – You need to have a plan. The work that you do today may not pay off until a month later, the following month or maybe not until next year. Stop chasing immediate gratification. People get discouraged when things slow down and they stop doing what they’re supposed to do. When I got a sinus infection and could not speak, I wrote 43,000 words for a planned project to keep busy.Have goals for your business. If you’re only reacting as a “get money” hustler, it’s a recipe for being one of those people with no retirement. Let’s discuss slow moving inventory. Is your inventory what the marketplace wants now or later? Go to EBay and check listings and sales numbers in summer and fall.
Let’s talk about that. There’s going to be a $10 webinar, that is really free since it comes with a $10 coupon that can be used for anything later on. July, August, and September are roughly 8 ½ weeks. When kids go back to school, your income goes up. You need to focus on what’s happening now. It’s a short window. If you’re too preoccupied on what’s happening now, and not focusing on buying cheap inventory available, then you will run out of items and have to pay higher prices in the fall. You need to have storage to set aside inventory. You need a plan and need to be good selling a few items knowing them backward and forward. I was good with furniture, good at art, and really good at watches. I could sell in any market. Knowledge is king.
Go through all your inventory. Take the word slow out of the picture to decide why it is not selling. Is it in the proper selling channel?
You could have what you think is a slow seller in the wrong place. For example, EBay pricing at a garage sale won’t work. The first wave of people are ardent deal hunters and resellers. You should place those items on EBay to sell. EBay is a necessary evil. It is the best place to sell certain items. Some things will sell better on Amazon than on EBay. You must know the proper selling channel for your items.Do some research on your inventory items. Google it. If it is not name stuff, it will sell cheaper. I believe in having groups of activities. Take one day and go through all your inventory. Research it and make some decisions. Make piles into booty stuff, middle-of-the-road stuff and the cream of the cream stuff that might not sell until the fall for top price. Hold onto the best items.If you’re not managing your time correctly, you’re losing out. Everybody needs to have a plan. Time is finite – the most valuable resource you have. Organize. Make the best of it. You never get this day back. Maximize all of your time.
Let’s talk about your investor. Sometimes, you’re going to take a loss. Sometimes, you make an improper buying decision. It happens to everyone. Sometimes you’re going to lose money. Get rid of those items. If you are properly paying your taxes, you can donate it to offset earned income.Two – Really take your business plan to next level. Say, where do I want to be in 2018, 2019, 2020. By asking yourself this question, you’ll come up with a better plan because you won’t be operating as a “get money” hustler. They jump from thing to thing. Do you have long-term goals, short-term goals and daily task lists? Build something that is consistent that will work in any economy.Let’s talk about this summer and getting ready for fall. Right now, a ton of inventory is dirt cheap. This is what you do. Flip what you can flip fast. Buy quality for yourself. This goes back to a video I did. The best way to become a good reseller is to buy quality for yourself. When you buy quality, you’ll recognize quality. There is a movement back to quality. If you believe in what you’re selling, it is easier to sell.
You need to be on top of your numbers. You need to increase your operating expenses if you are worried about paying your living expenses. Have a garage sale and sell everything to raise operating capital. Go through the closets and the whole house. When rent is due, it should not impact your business. Get my book, How to Get $1000 and $2000 at your next garage sale. There’s a special link and deal for this weekend, just to help people out. Let’s talk about space. You want to be at 5K, 6K, 7K or 10K per month in gross sales? You’re going to need some space. If you’re in a three or four-bedroom home, you may be okay. If you live in an apartment, you’re going to need to rent a storage unit. If you don’t have the space, you’ll pass up good deals. Plan.Have a sale. Make some goals. Put them in a place so you see them constantly. Either you’re growing or you’re dying.
I’ve got a super deal for you. Check it out here. Sign up for this email list if you want to be part of the next live stream, deals and special offers.
This a summary of the live stream, if you want to watch it go here.
Things are about to be very different. Next week we will start doing more interviews with business people. I know someone who knows someone who is legitimately in the weed business. They may come on and do a phone interview and give you some insights into the business.I am building a new business platform. I got bored and am going back to the roots about building a business. The new HustlersKungFu.com is going to be a little different. There are going to be a lot of things about starting a business and putting together things you can make some money on and move forward with this year.
We’re going to have some co-hosts and topics with a bigger focus on starting businesses and making money. Many people are ill-prepared to start an online business. There’s a lot that comes with that. Let’s talk about EBay and Amazon. I have several videos out recommending No EBay and No Amazon. Watch them. Everything I said in the videos came to pass. Recently, in the last six months, Amazon started charging a long-term storage fee that knocked people out of the ballgame. There will be more of this. Amazon is getting rid of people costing them money.

Inbound Content Marketing – That’s what I’ve been doing for eight years. This is a really big opportunity.
I’m looking at a team of ten by the end of the year. Two to three salespeople or co-hosts, two writers, cameraman, script writer, a video editor or two. That’s just for Mack Daddy Media.

Weed is coming! It will be legal in all 50 states in the next few years, all across the country. The money is there! The money is sick! The work is hard.
_______
Here’s where I am with my online company.
From 2009 to 2013 I am working by myself. The I started getting virtual assistants (VAs). Now the majority of my team will be local. I’m sick and tired of explaining everything. I want to sit down face-to-face. How many folks have a phone number and a staff in Internet Marketing? I will separate myself from the rest.
I am moving away from reselling. It is hard to scale. The minute you stop working, the income stops. We are going to teach people how to start a business.
_______
Question from the audience: Is the transition to have employees hard after flying solo?
Answer: The big transition has been dealing with people. Many companies have big issues with getting past this point. I spent $1500 on Craigslist ads. I’ve done it before. You have to understand this environment.
_______

People look for templates.

If you are searching for a permanent answer, a proven system to make money with as little as $25 to start, then you are in the right place.
How do I know? I did it myself.
Through trial and error, I learned and succeeded in the resale hustle, after many dark days and uncertain times of wondering how I would ever get ahead.
The only difference between you and me is that I now know exactly how to succeed in the resale game.
It’s true. Information is power. I learned through experience. I failed a lot, until I learned about the simple strategies that make all the difference.
I learned the secret to success in resale.
The only difference between a successful hustle and an unsuccessful hustle is a proven plan that works.
What this Resale Game Plan IS:
(Hint: I’m talking about eBay and Amazon and other companies that make the rules if you let them)
What this Resale Game Plan IS NOT:

We’re going to look at digital pimping and physical pimping. And if you never want to be broke again, be sure to get the Never Broke Action Pack.I was googling some stuff and fund that there are not even 2000 billionaires. I also found that there are only 2000 to 3000 people near billionaire status.So, the Mega Rich people in the world are only 2000 to 4000 people out of 7 billion people plus. When I was on Craigslist, I sold something every day. Assembled furniture sales faster than unassembled stuff. That is why I always assembled everything for the pictures. I’d take a picture of it put together. I got over 70 phone calls on a mattress because I put it together on the frame for the photo.
If you want to be part of Hustler’s Kung Fu Live Express, click on email list below.
The one thing you need for both physical and digital pimping is good pictures and attention.If you spend two to five minutes more per ad, you will get more attention. The problem for most folks selling digital products, is they don’t have real world experience to back it up. I’ve been doing this a long time. I had real world experience before I started on YouTube.I was a Craigslist savant. I was an eBay savant. I was one of the first five people in Atlanta to start selling stuff from storage auctions on Craigslist.
You have to get experience.
When people are selling you courses or information online, that is only the best of the best who do well, the ones they are talking about. Stop looking at the exceptions as the rule. They are making you think you can duplicate these systems.There was this girl, a graphic designer. She circled back to her clients and made more money using this system. But she already had established clientele. She was a good worker. What happened here is that she went from employee to boss.
Another thing is, if you’re broke and trying to start a business, cash flow is like oxygen to a business. Some service businesses you can start are a lawn service, car wash, housecleaning. Go to Angie’s List and you will see a ton of stuff.
When you are trying to live, and build a business and your living expenses and business expenses are coming from the same plate, someone’s going to go hungry and it’s usually the business. That’s why digital pimping doesn’t work for the average person. I have a video, How to Make $1500 to $2500 in 90 days. Go to my page and watch it.
Why I have stages when building a business. You do a service business to support yourself first. Because, if you’re desperate, customers can tell. If you go back to caveman times. Resources were scarce. That’s why you have fat to make it through the hard times. When someone comes to you from a position of neediness, people reject you. They sense you’re desperate. There’s a psychological reaction to you. It fucks up a lot of your deals. You need to know if I don’t get the deal, I’m not going hungry.
You can’t chase the dream and live the dream at the same time.
If you leave and the client doesn’t buy, you can always go back. Follow-up is important. Use a predetermined plan. Try one call a week. Some deals took me 15/20/30 calls.Follow-up is the reason so many people don’t make the deal. Follow-up is not one phone call or one text. You can use Customer Management Relationship {CMR} software and put notes about the client in there for following up later. The most I would bother someone would be once a week.
When I was fucking up in 2009, my books had typos and I had a merry band of haters, and was getting bad book reviews. But I still made $62,000 in digital in 11 months. Why was I still making money? Because I had real life experience. Follow-up never ends. If you have CRM, you can sell to someone you’ve sold to before. It is easier to sell to someone again. It’s like the first time you have sex with your girl, you can’t see her naked. Then after you’ve hit it about 10 or 15 times, she’s walking around the kitchen butt ass naked.I’ll show you what I used to use as my Customer Relationship Management Software. I used Goldmine. For most of you Excel would work. Goldmine is not cheap and it has a learning curve.It’s $55 per month. This expense makes sense if you are a durable company.
My advice to you before going online is to become really good at something before you teach it. When I do courses on something, I don’t have to do research because I’ve done it for years. My stuff is super simple now.
How do I plan my day?
I write it out. I even have a course about it called The Power of Six.The reason I recommend a service business first over digital sales is because it is hard to do these things if you haven’t done them for a long time. I’ve started many companies. My first five businesses failed. If you learn how to sell and market in the real world and then jump on live, you can do really well. I sold millions of dollars of physical products first, for a decade. I’ve been selling digital products since 2008. If you try to learn something, just to teach it, your knowledge base is shallow. You will have cracks when you’re really challenged. You’ll be challenged online.
Selling physical stuff is faster than digital pimping.
The hard part of this is marketing it. It is easy to buy. Products are everywhere. Inventory is not a problem. Customers are the problem. You should build business credit under the business name. If you have business credit developed under a LLC or a corporation, it is like a person. These credit profiles don’t show up on your personal credit. One of the reasons I push service businesses is because you can start with no money.
To work with me 1 on 1, it is 15K per month. That’s the floor and it goes up from there to $50K.
Seriously, there are a lot of people I don’t like.Since my lifepath is happiness first, and money second, I would rather work with a handful of kickass people than a bunch of folks I can barely tolerate. If I have four clients a month, it’s a pretty good month.I’ll probably do some courses and some boot camps.
How do I differ from Hustler Porn?
There’s 1600 + videos on this channel. If you’re going to ask a question, do your due diligence. If you did a minute of Googling, you wouldn’t ask that question. You must constantly market, because people are lazy.If you would go online and pick one thing and research the shit out of it, you’d make money.Service business work is hard, but if you have no money, it’s the easiest thing to get into. Can you give me some advice about team and self-branding?I asked myself, what do I want to do? What am I good at? So…I am going to talk about business on YouTube. Helping people who are helping themselves is working. Focus on what makes you happy. Find something you like to do and do it better than anyone else.
Talk about Podcasts versus business channels.
Podcasts depends on the audience. A lot of business podcasts do better than business channels. Videos are a show in real time. Podcasts are for busy people. It’s a different audience. Uncivilized Products is going to be a personal development program including meditation and some “game.” Game is not just for dating, it’s also for sales. I’ll probably have a live session and will accelerate it. I’ll probably have three sessions a day on different topics. It will be a live interaction and recorded. I’ll do it in one week instead of stretching it out. I want it to be a seminar. At the Vid Summit, I met a guy named Joseph who talked a lot about messaging. I talked to him four times. Messaging is very important. If you already have uncivilized products, you’ll get it. Tickets are like $700. Costs after buying the plane ticket and hotel are about $2500. I learned a lot. I met the guy who created the pooping unicorn and the guy who created Goldilocks and the purple mattress there. This is a new event It’s on social media marketing and video marketing. There’s a lot to it.
I want to get in your class and don’t have the money. You should round up all the junk in your house that you don’t use anymore and sell it. Have a garage sale.
How did you get to know so many rich people?From business. You have to not only move your business location but your physical location. I can meet someone at McDonald’s who is a decision maker. You need to get out and start talking to people. I got to meet the guy who owns Peachtree Towers while I was working. Finally, before I bounce, share this video with somebody you care about and if you need the Never Broke Action Pack – Get it.
If you like how this tasted and want to be in the know for some money making – eye popping, wallet swelling information, live streams offers and deals get on this list so you do miss anything.
In 2009 I had a dream. I wanted to be a published author. There was something about seeing my name on the spine of a book in Barnes and Nobles that turned me on. I had tried two times before to get my author on, with some success; but I was not as disciplined as I am today. Little did I know that daily determination was the missing ingredient to success, not talent, More on that later.I did not care about money; it was all about becoming a real author. Getting an agent and living that writer life was what I wanted. Travel. Radio. Talk shows and my name in lights. The thoughts of hanging with fancy people and doing fancy things were very seductive. The whisper of fame held my attention like a steak to a hungry dog. I had done well in the storage auction business. I had no debt. My car was paid off. I could not think of a better time to chase a dream and make myself happy.
My best friend had cancer I was the first person she told about her diagnosis. I was glad to be there for her during her battle with cancer, which she lost. Chasing my dream helped a lot of people. It is funny what happens when you cast fear aside.It all seemed to make sense, and I was all in. Some days I wonder if I knew just how much work it would take to get a book published if I would I have pressed forward? I guess we will never know.I also had a massive chip on my shoulder and all of the little voices screaming ” you will never do it.” I like to think I wanted to prove it to myself, but truth be told I wanted to stick it to every person that doubted me and there were quite a few members in that camp.
In the middle of dreams, a thing called reality tends to wake you up.
My first book was supposed to be about relationships. A hot topic. Men who wrote relationship books got instant kudos. The market was massive. I wrote my concept down and decided the angle I was going to take was interviewing as many women as I could. I would create the book from the conversations. I spoke to over 200 women. My pitch was simple.“There are no right or wrong answers; I just want your story.” One of the women, a teller at Bank of America, had many things to get off her chest. I gave her the pitch with every intention of speaking to her later. She held me at the counter and did not care about the people waiting to get their banking done. Her expression was ???? and just as fiery. No one complained, and many people listened with dog-eared attention. She was in the middle of a divorce. He left her for another woman. Her soul was torn apart, and she needed to get it out. I was over halfway done before I decided I did not want to be the ” relationship book guy.” One day I woke up and said ” I am not doing this anymore,” and ended the project.There was a stigma, and I saw many of those guys – typecast. I just checked, and most of them are not doing anything. Plus, my book was not going to be the typical relationship book. With an audience that was going to be 90% female, my confidence was slim that it would sell. It did not feel right, and I needed a book I knew was going to sell. I gave myself 24 months to make this happen. I was 3 months in and time was flying by.I made many friends. I also learned many things about women. Some of it scared me! I was surprised by how many women married for security and never loved their husbands. This would shake the average guy, if he really knew how many women do this.One of the main pieces of advice I heard as an aspiring writer was to:
Write about what you know:
I had just spent 10 years of my life, buying storage auction and creating systems and process for the resale business. We had two warehouses and a staff of 15. I knew that ” newbies” coming out had no clue about how the esoteric business worked. At the time, it was 14 months before Storage Wars and Auction Hunters would air on TV. I begin working on that book like a crazy person. No research was necessary. I wrote every day. I struggled quite a bit. The writing was not fun, but I was on a mission. I wrote the first version in 90 days. A friend who happened to be an editor said she would edit my book. It was looking good. After giving her the manuscript, she called me back and had that, someone has fucked up tone in her voice.”I just read your manuscript. Look I need to be honest with you, this is terrible and needs to be re-written. I don’t think you have what it takes to be a writer.” I picked my face up off the floor and said thanks, hanging up the phone. That night I put together my book in PDF form and sent out an offer to my email list. If I had paused, this book might have never seen the light of day. I made $643 in 24 hours. I was fucking proud of my fucked-up book! Yep, it had typos. Yep, it was rough. Yes, I made $62,000 in 11 months selling my book. I got roasted in the reviews, but something else happened. I got email after email of thanks. One guy named Morris bought my book and went to work as a reseller part-time. Two years later, he got laid off.”Hey G, I got laid off today and thanks to your book, I am going to make even more money working for myself! Man, you are a lifesaver.”I can’t tell you how fucking great that made me feel! My little fucked-up book was changing lives and making people money. Eventually, I fixed all of the errors and rewrote the book three times. This is evidence that persistence kicks talent in the ass. I know there are many writers who are much better at lacing words together in a seamless manner than I am. But 95% of them can’t make a full-time living writing like I do.
None of this would have happened without YouTube. The book is dropping sometime this year. Get on this list if you want to be notified when the book drops.
