Hey, we are live and direct. This is going to be awesome and I can't wait to get into this content. My name is Danny Walsh and a big welcome wherever you are in the world. Tuning into this E commerce challenge where hopefully by the end of the week you're going to understand all of the things you need to do to sell products online. And not just any products, any products. And that could be books or cosmetics or fishing tackle or anything you want. And it's going to be physical goods, it's going to be using the software and tools that you guys have probably already signed up to. And hopefully we are finally going to get over those mental blocks and technology blocks and all of the things that get in the way of stopping us from building and launching and scaling businesses online. So I've called this thing five short days because in just five short days you will have a big bunch of new skills. Originally I was going to package this up as a two thousand dollar course and decided just to bring it to you guys and give it to you absolutely free. And by the end of this session you're going to see some of the value that we've got in store. We will be live tomorrow, the day after, the day after that, the day after that and we will have a very special bonus day on Saturday as well. We've got an amazing guest lined up pretty much for each day of the week. And if you're VIP you can catch the replay anytime. If you're not VIP and joining us in the group, let me know in the comments whether you're VIP or not VIP yet. Let me know where you're logged in from. Let me know if you can see me, let me know if you can hear me. If you're not VIP you won't be able to get the replays. We will take them down each day. If you are vip, you get the replay and more. I'll talk to you about that in a little while. Big shout to Tony in Australia, Muhammad who is in the Middle East. Kim I think in Boise, Idaho. Rex Sykes from somewhere in a secret location and Rex will be joining us in a little while. People are still signing up and still getting on board and we will be streaming this in a few different locations. So I've put this in the group where most of you guys are watching. It's also on my social media and it's also going to be featured inside a few of my members areas as well. So wherever you are watching I appreciate you. People will be spread out in different locations. Doesn't matter. Wherever you're watching, the content will be the same. Let me know that it's all working. Yes, we can hear you, says my mid Roxanne says VIP from Florida. Let's go. Tony is here seeing each other everywhere. Right. This is going to be one of the, the coolest trainings I've done. I've really pulled out the, the stops to do this and I really want to just dive in. Right. It's cool if we just sort of dive in and get started. I know your time is precious and before we do anything, full disclaimer. Funnels are important. I built loads of these funnels and for me, for clients, what I'm about to show you doesn't replace funnel building or anything like that. And look, the only thing that's actually going to make you some money is if you try and implement the things that I'm going to show you. It's not all about funnels. It's about you taking action and learning some skills. And the cool thing with this is all of the skills I'm going to share with you today, tomorrow, the day after, what my guests are going to share with you as well. They're all transferable into the information business, into coaching anything that you need to put something online. So let me know in the comments, in the chat, wherever you are and let me know if you've tried to launch something online in the past and how that went for you. Was it great? Was it, you know, the best thing ever? Did it go off like a rocket? Did it flop? Have you tried to launch something in the past and how did it go? Right palm says the cups are overflowing and overflowing. So much abundance as Kim Rex is in the place. Generous. I'll, I'll do the, the generosity by the end of this week you'll be like, we will have over delivered. Caroline's in the place badly. She says there's always room for improvement from, from badly. Right. So we'll do our best to teach you some stuff, to show you some stuff and I want to try and give you the click by click, what to click, when to click it, how to click it so that you overcome that technical barrier. How many people have fallen straight over the technical barrier, the technical hurdle? Carl is here, still trying. Roxanne says, awful. I'm hoping that this is the last time you have to go to a challenge or take a. Now we all know this won't be the last time that you take a program or a challenge, but I'm hoping That this is going to give you a lot more than some programs that you would invest thousands of dollars in or thousands of pounds in and still be none the wiser. Right? I want you to. I want you to have some skills, fundamental skills, and I just ask that you turn off distractions, you take a big bunch of notes, you respect each other in the chat. Please don't record or restream or download. VIP members will get the recordings. If you want them and you're not a vip, I can show you how to do that. But by the end of this week, I want to have given you a concept for selling online, a funnel, like a website for selling online. Show you how to build a social media presence, show you how to actually get products to sell without stocking them in a warehouse or anything crazy. A strategy to go with it and add hopefully some leads and a result. That's a big old promise, right? That's something that I really want to, like, emphasize that normally this would happen in a private group with a few people, they pay a bunch of money and they go off and have results. I'm doing this pretty much publicly for free. And the VIP was like 47. It's 67 currently. Right. So this is the. The plan for the week, and this is what it's kind of going to look like. We are here On Monday the 12th at the time, time of recording. This is the first day we did have a VIP pre launch. If you missed it, you missed it.
If.
If you don't know about that, it doesn't matter. But day one, we want to welcome you. Hey, welcome, everybody. We want to give you the plan for the week, which is kind of what we're doing. And then I really want to get into this mindset piece and I want to bring on my good buddy Rex, who is the mindset attitude doctor, and he's going to help you get your head right. I asked people to do homework and quite a lot of people were sending in homework and they said, what's stopping you from launching? And they were like, mindset or Rex is going to help fix that stuff. Right? I've got some quick wins. I've hopefully got some free stuff. I've got some homework and I'm gonna be on for about another 50 minutes tomorrow. I'm gonna show you how to build stuff so you can actually have this presence online. We've got a guest, Austin Dorman, who's a funnel building expert. I'm going to bring him on. He's going to show you a big Bunch of cool stuff. Then on Wednesday, I'm going to show you how to get products. I've got the amazing Roberta Pemberton coming on, who is a platform seller, clickfunnels ambassador, E Comm expert. We're going to talk about products on Wednesday. Thursday, I'm gonna show you how to actually get the ads. Everybody that struggles with ads, right, Let me know if you struggle with ads or online ads or doing Facebook ads or Google Ads or any of this stuff. Hopefully by Thursday, you know what to click, how to do it and, and how to launch these things without hiring some ads guy for thousands of dollars before you've even made your first dime. Right, that's, that's kind of like the plan. On Friday, I'm gonna bring on Siobhan, who's my partner in, in more ways than one. We work together on the fishing business for years and she's a master at looking after behind the scenes and there's some valuable insight. And then on, on Saturday, we've got an amazing Bonus Day with AI and graphics and VIPs and guests and all sorts of cool stuff. Right, does that all sound like a plan? Everybody stick around. And unless you're in the vip, it's literally one hour a day, the same time, same place for the next five short days. It's easy. And by the end of this, I hope I'm kind of like trying to guarantee it the best I can, that if you follow your tech notes, you put into action what I show you, you're going to have a result. Right? And this is how it works. So we do the free session. It's currently 9pm in the UK. I think that's 1pm Pacific time and 4pm Eastern time. That's what I'm learning. Right, so we're just, after the hour, we do this free session right here in the group social media in exactly the same way. I'll do some strategy, I'll do the demonstration, we'll bring on the guest, then we'll give you some homework, and then we go to our private VIP session. Now, if you didn't sign up for vip, I want to give you the last chance to do that so you can ask questions, you get the replays, you get the workbook and more and we'll be able to do that. It's dead simple. You go to www.5shortdairs.com forward/, go VIP in 20 minutes, the price of VIP goes up to 197 from 67. Right. So if you want all the cool stuff in vip, which kind of looks like this, you're going to get the Q A every single day. Once this free session ends, you get the replays loaded into a members area. You get a bunch of bonuses from our guests, which Rex doesn't know about yet, but he's going to give you a bonus. You're going to get homework videos that are already in there. To get you started, we give you some share funnels and templates and websites. The members area has got goodies in it. You get the challenge workbook, you get the replay from the pre launch session. You get extra chef was guidance and more. And up until Today it was 47. Right now it's 67. But when we get to the end of this timer, in 19 minutes, 28 seconds, it goes up to 197. And if you're watching after the launch day, that's the price you'll pay, right? So it's not a hard sell. It's kind of like common sense. I just want to move over to my little book that you get when you're a VIP and you can kind of see how much work and effort and time's gone into this. This is a little workbook that you can get. You see all the guests in there, you can see what we're doing and the schedule and the mission and the plan and there's loads of places for notes and stuff to do, right? So I've put all this together for VIPs. I've put a lot of stuff in a members area. You get all of that stuff and you've got 19 minutes. If you want to go over there right now and head over to VIP, it's www.5shortdays.com forward SL, go VIP. It's at the bottom. It kind of makes sense. If all this did is just give you the Q A session at the end every single day, then it's, it's worth it, right? The members site, the funnels, all the other stuff that we're giving you, like I've crammed as much into there as possible, but I've gotta draw the line somewhere, right? There's only so much we can give you for free. So if you want to go and do that, I know there's a bunch of people watching from all over the place. You rather pay the 67, you rather stick around for free and try and figure it out without all the replays, or you can wear 20 minutes and pay 197. The choice is yours. But I do want to get into this. I'LL leave the link at the bottom of the screen. I'm not here to sell you a bunch of stuff I want to teach you, but the options there, should you choose to accept it. So that's the plan. And obviously VIPs get more. As you get that workbook, you get the, the Q A, you get the guest bonuses and all this stuff. You can also have access to me on Voxer as well, which is unheard of. So you can shout at me down boxer and ask me questions. If you want it, go do it. The link's on the screen, but you've got 20 minutes before it goes up. 297. Once you sign up, you get access to all the membership site and all the rest of it. But I'll leave the link that's like the last to talk about it until the end when we go over to that Q A. And if you've got a burning question that you really want to ask, you're gonna pay like three times more. This is crazy. So do that now. I'll wait for you. You can listen to me in the background. Let me know in the comments. If you're just joining us, if you can see me, if you can hear me, we're going to get into some cool stuff in a second and bring on Rex Sykes. He's waiting patiently in the green room for me. I can see the smile on his face on the little screen at the bottom. Alyssa is in vip. Let's go. Palm says, sounds great. Carl is in the place. Tony is here all the way from Australia. We've got folks worldwide in the challenge right now. There's quite a few people who've remembered and, and they're joining us. I can see the numbers going up. This is going to be epic. Right, so what, this is the plan for today. By the end of today, whether you're VIP or not, we're going to sort out the mindset. You're gonna understand the strategy, you're gonna see what's possible, know exactly what we're doing for the rest of the week and throughout this week. It's something I could sell for $2,000, right? Or more. You tell me what it's worth at the end. Does it sound good? Everyone's like, yeah, does it sound good? Let me know in the comments. Give me some likes, give me some hearts. If you, if you're down with this, if you, if you're understanding where we're going, the direction, and I'll slow things down a little bit, probably 20 minutes maximum before we Bring on Rex. Maybe less. Just so he knows in case he's like sat there watching on the screen thinking, is it me? Is it me? I've got a little bit to get through before we bring Rex on. And Rex will hopefully be joining us in q a as well, which is. Is going to be worth it's. It's weight in gold. You don't normally get this for the. The price I'm charging. So I can see everybody in the chat. Everybody's having a great time. Likes and hearts. Let's get into the content, right? So there's gifts and goodies and opportunities and freebies and funnels. Don't miss anything. This is the plan. What's the plan, Stan? This is what we're gonna do, right? Over the course of the next five short days. You notice this is kind of like the welcome orientation, get your started day. Then there's five days to follow. Right? You're going to build a brand. You're going to build a funnel. You're probably going to start building your community. I'm hoping you're going to launch an ad, you're going to generate some leads and you're going to learn from experts and maybe you're going to make a sale. If I could just do one of those things between now and the end of the week, what would that mean to you and your business? Just let me know in the comments. If you don't have a business by the end of the week, you will let me know what one of those things would mean and which one is the most exciting for you. Right? If you don't know me, I've been building businesses online for many years and I've done everything from music to fishing to coaching and back again twice. And I specialize in helping people like you do the things on the screen. So, like Danny, what's your elevator pitch? I help you build brands and funnels and communities and ads and leads and all of this cool stuff. And I do that by making the tech work. So if I can just make the tech work for you, that in itself is magic. And I'm going to break this down. So simple. I've got guests, I've got support, I've got homework and all the stuff that you know is in vip if you want the replay, this is invaluable to any business, wherever you are in the world. Right? All sounds fantastic. All are exciting. Making the sale pretty good. The sale is the cherry on top. I've actually been practicing what we preach and started from the beginning and I've built a few things to show you examples of what we can do and what we can achieve in a week, right? Caroline wants to make a sale. We all want to make a sale, right? So two comma club award on the, on the wall. That means that I've earned over a million dollars from a funnel. A funnel is kind of like a website that's simpler, that helps your customer go from A to B, from ads to bank. Let me know if you're a clickfunnels user in the, in the chat, if you've got a ClickFunnels account. All of the stuff that I'm doing is in clickfunnels. But you can use other inferior software as well. Should you. Should you want to do that. Well, I've. I've been around, done this for a long time, and I want to share all this skill and knowledge with you, right? So I want you to imagine for five minutes that he didn't worry about this tech, that you could launch a brand in 60 minutes without any mindset blocks, right? Peter's saying, yes, 2.0. Caroline wants to make a sale. It's like, think about this. You're not worried about the tech. You could launch a brand in 60 minutes, and you had no blockers in the way at all. You knew what to click, when to click it, how to click it. You knew exactly what software to use. You had a product to sell, and you could generate a lead. Somebody coming into your business to say, tell me more for less than a dollar. You're like, you feel like a marketing boss, right? If you did that, I want to try and give you as much of that as possible in this week. That's the plan, right? Is everyone excited? There's no barriers, right? Kim's like, hashtag, no barriers. Palm's a CF user, ClickFunnels user. Roxanne's got clickfunnels. I think most of you guys have got clickfunnels in here anyway. And I'm trying to make this as simple as possible. So stick around. If you are in that Q A in the, in the VIP afterwards, you can ask anything and pull out your notepad and I'll do everything I can to. To help you on the, on the way. Kim says Danny over delivers, and I'm gonna make it my business to do that. Right? So before we started, when you signed up, I asked a bunch of people to answer some questions. I asked you all to answer some questions. These questions in homework. Are you aware of the new Zendrop integration with clickfunnels that's integral. Zendrop is this new thing that works with clickfunnels that helps you go out there and find and ship products without actually having to touch them or hold them. And we're going to use that, right? So just be aware of that. It's on the homework page. I asked people what kind of products would they like to sell and I had loads of answers on this, right? It's people talk, you know, sent me loads of things and there's pretty much nothing that I've been sent that we can't find on Zendrop. Lots of people have been thinking about opening e commerce stores, online stores, selling, actually selling products. So you're all in the right place. And I've had loads of good answers, crazy answers, positive answers. People have gone and filled in this homework and I've kind of got a steer of what exactly you want, right? So I'll be wetted up right until the last minute to take your homework, take your feedback, take your responses and help you help craft the content using your responses. So inside of the, the program, inside of the challenge, there should be something for everybody, right? And it's free. That deal, that's like the best deal you're gonna get, right? So is it okay if I show you how my mind works without you freaking out? Right. So you've got to promise me in the chat that you're not gonna freak out when I show you this thing, because this is kind of like some of the things we're going to cover as we move through this week and you possibly not realize that we're actually covering some of these things. This is, this is the cool thing about it, right? So let me know in the, in the, in the comments that you're not going to freak out when I show you this mind map, right? Because you need to sort of see how the marketing mind or the entrepreneurial mind actually works, right? So if it's all right with you, I'm going to show you this thing and then I'm going to sort of go around it a little bit. Mind map is a great help. You see what you think in a second, right? So this is how the brain works and these are some of the things that we are going to be covering. It might terrify you, right? It's a big old mind map. So let me zoom into this thing and show you what I'm thinking. Right? So if we go in here, this is a tool called Mindmeister, which is super cool, right? And Rex is going to help you with the mindset, I can see him in, in the background thinking, man, when is it my turn? He said, stop for the hour. We'll have you insane. He's laughing. So the idea and concept, we're going to show you what to sell, how to sell it and the marketing factors that underpin that. I'm going to talk a little bit about domain names and emails. Then we're going to get into the Zen drop and how to actually get money off people. Right. The payment stuff. I'll talk about these sites and funnels and what's a funnel hub and what's a fishbowl funnel and what's a sales funnel and these different offers, bumps and upsells. If you don't know what any of this means, you will by the end of the week. I'm going to show you something that you can do cool with survey funnels. How to follow up with people with emails and abandoned cart sequence and broadcast emails as well. All of this in the week. How to connect your email, your demand and set up payments and all the rest of it. I've got this cool thing that I do with live sales which we'll get to possibly on Saturday. Graphics and images. How to go out there and get some graphics and images. Stream yard is important. That's what I'm using to stream right now. But I'll talk a little bit about that as we move. Show you how to build a community, how to engage with people, how to have incentives and do games and moderate and do a big bunch of fun stuff. We'll get into social media. We're not going to do tick tock, Instagram, Pinterest, but we are definitely doing Facebook profiles, pages and groups. We're going to talk about the social 6. It's not some like crazy group that got locked up in the 80s. The social six is a method for posting on social media. Talk a little bit about some other ways you can go out there and actually get traffic, paired traffic in particular, how to target people, how to retarget people. I'm gonna touch on email marketing, maybe a bit of Google, how to track. I'm covering a lot. Right. Talk about AI as well. We're going to get into that on Saturday and then as we move up here, I'm gonna get definitely into drop shipping because that's what Zendrop is. Maybe a little bit of affiliate stuff. Talk about some of these other ways of doing things as well. I've got this cool method that I want to, really want to get into and, and show you this we'll get to the. When we get there, definitely the strategy, which we're kind of talking about a little bit. And then how do you manage your reputation? That's what Siobhan's going to be talking about, some logistics stuff as well. But you guys, like, is that freaky or is that like, hey, we kind of need all of that stuff, but I'm not sure I could take all that in. What's, what's your like, thoughts on that as we, we continue? Because that's like what I want to try and touch on these things. I mean, you're not going to be an expert in it by the end of the week, right? But if you just learn a little bit of this stuff and maybe you do your own mind map. Remember, whenever you start a business, right, you're starting small. You're going to start small and then you're going to build on this thing. This is awesome. Right? I've put a lot of time and effort and, and money into doing this stuff, right. And giving it your free. So if you want to pay me back anything, you've got like one minute before the timer ends for vip. I'll wait for you. But this is the thing. I've been building brands and I've been building brands for a long time for me and for clients and for customers. And to start this process off, I thought, hey, let's go in Zen drop and see what kind of products they've got. And they've got everything. They've got cosmetics, they've got books, they've got fishing tackle, they've got, got like exercise equipment and fashion and more. We'll get into that when we get there. But I thought, I wonder if we could start a skincare brand? So we did. So I created a Facebook page, which I'll show you how to do. And I did a giveaway, which I'll show you how to do. And we spent 46 pence, or about 65 cents per person that came into that giveaway. And we got them into a funnel. 80 of the people who saw the giveaway gave me the name, email address and phone number. A big bunch of them went to join the the group. We had hundreds of people sign up to this thing. We use the simple funnel, which you're going to see how that works. We're going to build one from scratch. We started a Facebook community and then at the time of taking this picture, 50 people were in the group. And then I started building offers and pages, which we're gonna. We're gonna learn about. And I built this kind of like high converting style best like a, a funnel, like a sales page. And you can see you've got the products at the top and images and headlines and all of this stuff. And I'm going to give you that at some point as we move through the the challenge. So you don't even have to worry about building this stuff. You just have to add your products. Is that cool? And we like can do that. We actually made with first sale so you guys know that that's possible. And then I went on and did it with fishing. We've got 269 people in the fishing group. We did this in a few for clients as well. So people have got to launch like pet supply businesses and, and I've got books that I'm selling. Look, I. Didn't accidentally mute my mic. I've got buttons down there and I threw the book at it. So you got like books. And we've got fishing tackle and we've got skincare products and I've actually built three brands in the last week and I've launched a couple of them using Facebook ads and the results have been insane. Right. I actually auctioned one of the brands yesterday and Tony's already owns now the skincare brand, the fishing brand. I'm going to give it to a nice young man who you're going to meet on Saturday. A few other clients have been successful with this stuff and by the end of the week anything that we build we're going to give you as like a share funnel. So you click a link and it drops into clickfunnels account. You add your products and you get going with it. Right. Does that sound like a plan? Is that like can I do that? And we allowed to over deliver? Can we do that? You want to like, you want to share this? It's, it's like public. You can share it as well and you can tell people about what we're doing. You can send them to five short days.com they can come on there and they can sign up, which is kind of cool. And if you're watching in the group or you're watching on YouTube, wherever you're watching, this is going to be a deep dive into all of this stuff. But in a way that you can you get it, you understand it, you're able to go out there and execute it and I'll give you everything in my power to help you pull this off. Right? That's the commitment to you. Everyone's excited, right. So it's a plan over delivering Carolyn's like, wow. So, like, it's. It's not your average cat, right? Rex is going to fall off his chair in a minute. I can see that. It started on the. On the strong spirits. So I'm going to bring Rex on in any second now. But you kind of know the plan. We're going to show you the software, the funnels, the hacks, the AI, the whole thing. I'm going to do it all starting pretty much tomorrow from the beginning. Now, are you sure you don't want to be a VIP? You've got four minutes to do it, right? So it's www.5shortdairs.com forward slash, go. VIP. You sign up for six, seven dollars, and you get a big bunch of stuff to start you off and the replays and more. And we're gonna give you homework as well. But look, this is the bit. This important bit, and he's like, he's gonna. He's gonna fall off his chair. Your mindset is super important, right? And if you add the failing or any of this stuff, I'm gonna show you how to run ads, right? So your mindset is super important in this. And one of the big things that people would say to me is, danny, I keep getting in my own way. I hope you're writing these down in the green room, Rex. I keep getting in my own way. I keep getting imposter syndrome. I think that I'm gonna. I'm gonna fail before I start. There's all of these excuses that seem to start in your. In your mind. So I thought, how about we kick the week off before we do anything technical, before we build any stuff is we bring somebody to the stage who's falling asleep. He's on the screen right now. Rex Sykes, welcome.
I looked down. I happened to be on a deck outside, and I looked down because there was something scraping my foot, and it's a raised nail, right as you brought me up. So I look like I'm passed out.
But it was done for effect. So we've walked Rex up. Rex, if you don't know, is an actor, speaker, mindset master, an author, a coach, a friend. We've done a lot together, and we've got a lot more to do as we move forward. But, Rex, welcome to my humble challenge, and thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule. It's the second time I've had you on a live today.
That's right.
And you and I, we do a show once a Week as well, on a Wednesday. So I think I'll be seeing you more than I see my children this week. But in this, Rex, we're talking about selling things online. And one of the big barriers, as I've just explained, is people seem to get in their own way. How do they get out of the way and get the mind right before they start doing this thing, this stuff? That's the question.
Well, it's. It's. They may or may not like this answer, but you have to stop what you're doing and start doing something else. I mean, it's kind of like if you're going down the street and you realize you're headed in the wrong direction, you need to stop and turn around. So you have to shift what you. Where you're headed or what you're going, what you're focused on or what you're paying attention to. If. If you walked into the men's room instead of the women's room and you realized, oh, my God, I'm supposed to be in the woman's room, most likely you go out the door and you go to the right one. I mean, it. You know, or the alternative of a guy did it. The point being is, is that you need to be able to recognize that you're off course, you aren't where you are. And a lot of people want run through life with blinders on. They. They aren't aware of when they do get in trouble. They feel the result of it after the fact, but they don't catch it before it happens. And if you want to change something, you need to catch it before it happens. And the reason for that is like, fire drills. You know, in. In the United States and elsewhere, they run fire drills. Why do you do a fire drill? So that when. If there's a fire and. And God forbid, but if there's one, you know what to do. You know the escape routes, you know how to. You know. So you need to rehearse your success, and you need to rehearse stopping and starting and moving in a new direction. So. But there are things that you can do, and we'll. We'll play with something in just a moment if you. If you're willing. And I don't know who's here, but I got to say this, Danny, you are given away the farm, my man. I am sitting here going, oh, my God, you have set something up so incredible for people. I'm like, going, yes, yes, yes, yes, that's right. That's great. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. So very, very cool. I really appreciate that, and I appreciate you and I appreciate the people who are here right now, whether they went VIP or not, and I think they should. But if they. Whatever they did, they. You're taking your time to learn about something that, that Danny is giving you to radically revolutionize not only your business, but your life. So let's try a little something with mindset. Now, if you're going to do this, you need to play along, because, for example, if I put a nice juicy meal right in front of you and you look at it, you went, wow, this smells good, but I'm not going to taste it. You won't have the experience that I would hope that you would have, you know, and. And for no reason other than you refuse to participate. I'm not going to eat it. So in this case, what I'd like to suggest is that you just do what I ask you to do so that you can notice the difference. Now, for some people, it may be very subtle, and for other people, it might be very profound. Whatever it is you want to notice, that's all. That's not right or wrong, good or bad or any of that. It's just what is it that you notice? Because even if it's subtle, there's. If you stay with it, you could learn to make it profound. And if it's profound already, well, fantastic. Whatever it's. But it's not right or wrong or good or bad. Whatever happens is, is the point of awareness for you. So. So understand that it's getting ourselves to notice what we notice. So when you were a kid, for example, before you ever saw a bicycle or heard about a bicycle or saw someone riding bicycle, you didn't know that bicycles existed. So you didn't know whether you could ride a bike or not. It didn't enter your consciousness. And then maybe one day you saw a story about it on television or in the movie theater, or you saw somebody in real life or somebody told you about, you thought, wow, I'd like to do that, but I can't do it. I don't know how. I don't know. You know, you understood, I don't know what this is. I have no idea how to do this. And if you were lucky, at one point, maybe you got on a bicycle, maybe it had training wheels, maybe it didn't. And you had to do all these different things. Kind of like at one time you had to try and balance and sit and pedal and hold the thing and it's coordinating it. You went through the same thing many times in life, whether it was learning to read or write or doing mathematics, learning the Alphabet. In fact, learning to crawl and walk was part of the same kind of process. Learning to drive an automobile or a truck or car, stick shifter, an automatic, all. All you go through similar stuff. So learning to do what you do here consciously and deliberately so that you can make the changes that we're talking about is really important. And for most people, it just undefault. It's like, you know, your thermostat runs your house and you don't think about it. And sometimes it's hot and sometimes it's cold and you know, and you might have to change it now and then because it's too hot and it should be colder, too cold, it should be hot. And so you go over to the thermostat and you change it. But unless that signal value is there, it just runs on. And so for most people, we do what we learn to do as children growing up. That's why Aristotle said, show me the child at seven and I'll show you the adult. Because by about the time you're seven years old, the personality is pretty established. Your values, your beliefs, the limitations that you embrace, the talents and abilities and skills are all pretty much set. Doesn't mean that it's still not some room for growth. But you. But they're in. They're already in play. Because like a child is a sponge. From before birth to after you're born, there's a period of time which you're just absorbing everything around you. You don't have any critical ability to reject it. And so you've gotten prejudices and limitations and bad tones and, you know, and arguments and things that you heard and everything else while you're a child that you didn't even understand and it became a part of your DNA essential. So what we do now is as an adult, you have the opportunity to change that, but you have to notice that you have to go, I realize I don't know how to ride a bike now. I want to do that. And now we're going to take the steps to do that. And guess what? It might seem a little difficult, it might seem a little weird, it might seem a little strange. It might seem like, oh, I'm never going to get to do this. But you will. Because ultimately, anything you've learned to do from crawling and eating and cleaning yourself and brushing your teeth and riding a bike and driving a car and learning math or what you do in your career all went through a very similar process to become a mental habit to get wired in so that you can do it. An attitude, by the way, it's the number one predictor for success in all areas of your life. It's not what you do, it's not how you do it. That's what everybody thinks it is, and that's what most people are selling today is how to do this, how to get a hack, how to get a shortcut, how to do that, how to do that, how to do that. The attitude is the first thing that you need to develop in order to be able to do the things that you need to do in the right way. So that it's the smoothest, easiest, most fun, more enjoyable than anything else. So here's what I want you to do. I want you to imagine. Just notice how you are right now. Whether you have a lot of energy or a little energy, whether you feel tired or whether you feel, you know, thrilled. And just notice that. And just notice how you're sitting. Just don't change anything. Just notice it. Or if you're standing, and then imagine that you could sit the way you're sitting, but with two times more energy. Just saying, I have two times more energy now, when you have two times more energy, what happens? What do you do? You go, I'm two times more energy. If you notice what I did, I went two times more energy. There was movement there. I didn't go, I have two times more energy. So imagine sitting with two times more energy and feel what that feels like. Feel what it feels like to have two times more energy than you have at the moment that I told you to do that. And now take a deep breath and imagine four times. You actually double it. Four times the amount of energy. Notice how that changes, how you change, how the world begins to look differently. If you have four times more energy, you're wakening up. Feel that? Notice what you do to have four times more energy just sitting right where you are. Standing right where you. How do you feel when you have four times more energy? Take a deep breath. Just take a deep breath and feel that four times margin. Now we're going to double it one more time. We're going to go eight times more energy. Go eight times more energy. How do you feel? What do you do? How does your body shift and change? Imagine stand up with eight times more energy. Stay in front of your computer. Just stand with eight times more energy. What is that like? How do you feel? And if you're Alone, you know, cool. If you're with somebody, they might think you're crazy, but just do it silently and eight times more energy. And take a deep breath and feel that and point to where you feel it most. Some people feel it in their stomach, some people feel their head, some of their back, some of their feet. Where do you feel it? Imagine eight times more energy. Just now walk around. Wherever you are, just walk around in front of the computer and walk with eight times more energy. And then sit back down and sit in the computer with eight times more energy. Now let me ask you a question and I hope you'll answer in the chat room. I don't get to see the chat. I can't for some reason. The chat for me is. It's kind of stuck on Facebook and elsewhere. I just, I don't see it. So let me ask you this. What was that like? Share your experience comment. What it was like to feel more energy. More energy. And what changed for you? Where did it change for you? Where in your body did you notice yourself feeling more alive? And you notice when I'm talking, I went from having a certain amount of energy to more energy to more energy, to even more energy. So what is it like for you if you can share it? I'll see if I can find it anywhere. Are there comments anywhere?
Yeah, we've got, we've got comments. Pam says she's more energy. Felt open. Caroline just feels great. I'm like rocking behind the. I don't think I could stand up anymore. I have any more energy. But what you, what you've just done there, Rex, is, is very powerful, invigorating, tingly, says Peter.
This is like, ah, now, now think about that for a second. All I said was imagine having two times more energy and then double it, have four and now double it again and have eight. You know how to multiply. That's something you learned as a child. You know, two times two is four. So your brain knows how to multiply. So when I say double the energy or if I went turn it up, you know, I mean, because we're used to turning things up, turn up the volume. You know what that is? Your neurology knows what that is. And so you have a response. And if you're willing to play along, that response can be magnificent. I mean, you can have a really, truly powerful response. But if you're not willing to play along, you go, you're not going to get me to do anything. I'm not going to do anything. Understand that it's A choice that you always have. Choice to go in a new direction or a choice to stay where you are or go in the direction. In this case, I invited you to play. I invited you to say, hey, let's do this and let's move in this direction. Now, the very fact that you did that, it can seem mind blowing to you or it can seem insignificant to you. Again, a choice. Here's the thing, think about that. How often could you. Because people always say, I don't have enough energy, I don't have enough energy, I'm too tired all the time. But if you just gave yourself more energy and feel more alive, you just took control using your brain, you just took control of your physiology, of your neurology, to enliven yourself to feel better. So who feels better? Who feels much better than they did before we started? Danny does. Yes.
And Peter does. And Louis does. And Roxanne Doors and Palm doors and Carolina. And we've got a list of people in the chat and Don does.
So imagine that you, in a matter of seconds, made yourself feel better. Could you imagine any other place where you might want to use this? When you're tired, you come home from work and you're a little bit exhausted or you're at the office or wherever you are and you don't feel like doing something, you know, and you tell, you go, I can sit here like this and I can play and I can whine, I can do all that stuff. And then you go down that rabbit hole or you go, I need more energy. So I'm going to go two times more energy. You could go five times more, you could 10 times more energy. You could 20 times. I mean, it's not about being frenetic because charisma isn't going. Charisma is having all that energy contained inside you, but alive and moving inside you so that you know when you talk, when you speak, you look alive, you're vibrant, you're thrilled to be here. Now, it's all mindset. I mean, think about that. You're affecting your own physiology, your own neurology by what you say and think inside your head. That's why attitude's the number one predictor for success in all areas of your life. Because if you go, oh, I hate going to work today, I'm so tired, I'm never going to make it through this. Oh, God, I hate to say, or I am so stupid, or I feel like a fraud whenever I do that. I mean, you know, people say that, think about what you're Saying to yourself, and how that affects how you feel your emotions, which are different than the physical feelings that you have. Emotions like love and peace and joy and comfort and all that kind of stuff. And then there's the physical feelings, the. The proprioceptive, the. You can feel, you know, check those sensations when you run your hands, everything. But you also have feelings from. But here's the thing. You're a walking human battery. You have more than enough energy, and yet people don't tap into it. And the reason they don't tap into it is because they've been conditioned to think otherwise. They're told, well, you have this issue. You have that issue. You're mentally this. Stop it, stop it. I always do this. Dog crap or diamonds. Dog crap or diamonds. Dog crap or diamonds. And you know how many people are willing to choose dog crap and continually choose dog crap instead of choosing diamonds instead of going, oh, so it's a choice. If you don't think you have a choice, you have to understand what Henry Ford said. He said, if you think you can or you think you cannot, you're always going to be correct. If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right. If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right. So in order to do something like engage in a new learning and develop a new skill or a new talent, you see somebody writing about, I would like to do that. But if you think, well, I could never do that. I'm stupid, I'm dumb, I feel like a fraud. I'll never do that. I think I'll go eat some worms. You go down that rabbit hole. But if you think, I like, look, that looks like fun, I think I could do that. I don't know how to do it yet, but I would really like to do it. If you understand that just what you did right here today, you could learn to do what is ever necessary in order to ride a bike. Because guess what? Unconsciously, you learned how to walk, and by God, you learned how to speak language and maybe multiple languages without ever having read a book. You know, you acquire that because that's built into you. You are a learning machine, and I hate the word machine because you're really more like a learning jungle. You're alive, thriving, Wonderful series of processes and neural wirings and patterns and habits, all designed to do two things for you. Keep you alive, keep you surviving, look out for dangers and all the things that could trouble you or eat you and also thrive. And why do you Want to thrive so that you reproduce. And so that means you have sex, but that you reproduce so that you continue the species. We're built that way. And what society has done and the educational system, God love them, and the psychologists and God love them and all the religious leaders of that is focused on where we're wrong, where we're broken, where it doesn't work, how it's not going to work, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so pretty soon we've been talked out of all of the natural abilities that we have. But if you become aware that you can do it, you can do it. And so that's why I've spent 50 years. Because the number one predictor for success is your attitude. Because when your attitude changes, did you notice when you felt better with more energy, did you feel more open? Did you feel more like you could do stuff? Did you feel more available to whatever might be coming next? Anybody else, I mean, did you feel open or closed? I have energy. Or did you feel more closed?
Let's see what the comments are saying. Let us know in the comments. It takes a little while. There's a little bit of a delay.
Sure.
One thing for sure, we know that out of your choice of, of the diamonds or the other, there's definitely a preference of which people. Yeah, Rex for president says Caroline, thank you. Open. I think he's the consensus. The comments are flying in now.
So if you do feel open, if there. If somebody felt that they closed down, indifferent, because that is a possibility. Some people go, I'm not gonna play or I'm not gonna do it, or they go the other direction. Well, that's easily solved. I mean, that's not a problem. So if that happened, no worries. And there's nothing wrong with you or anything like that. But if you do feel more open, it's because you open up. You went, yeah, I have more energy. When you have more energy in your life, you are able to entertain more things. There's more possibilities available to you, opportunities available to you, and resources available to you. And guess what? Your neurology, when you're dealing with having. Not dealing with, but when you're having more energy and feeling more alive, you notice your brain is built this way, the reticular, activating system to notice those things that are good for you and to avoid those things that aren't. So as you. As you feel more and more alive, you are able to pick up more and more goodness in life and experience more and more goodness and do and learn and take advantage of Things that you otherwise would never even notice. That's what blinders are about, you know, and they do that. They put blinders on horses at one time to prevent them from seeing things. Well, that's what our educational system, the politicians and religious leaders in society has done to us is put a certain amount of blinders on us so that we don't notice our own talents and abilities. And why is that? Because they want us to be good worker bees and not necessarily be the people who are the top dogs running the show. They want us to be the followers, not the leaders. And there's always been that disparity. So here's where you get to take control of your life. And with the kinds of things that Danny's sharing and teaching you, you get to get control over your destiny by learning some to do something that can change you physically, because you learn a new skill, mentally, because you now acquire new skills, emotionally, because you feel good about what you're learning. And financially, I mean, there's so many benefits to what you're able to do because of simple, small changes that can affect all of your life. And you might say, well, Rex, I mean, all we did was this energy thing. Was, yeah, I mean, there is more. There is a lot more. But the point is, if you think you can, you open up a possibility, and the possibility may not have existed before. Do you think it's possible that you could use this in your future? That there would be times and places with other people or alone where you'd want to use this, Just the energy thing. And if you go, yes, that means you're now aware that you have places where this would be useful. And if you imagine doing it in those places, taking a moment, going, okay, so when I'm with Sally or with I'm Barb or with. I'm with Steve or with I'm with John, I want to have more energy. And you imagine what it would be like to be in their presence with more energy, or before you get into the office, or before you go on that special sales call, or before you sit down with your child, whatever it might be. Now I'll broaden it out right now. Could you imagine doing the same thing with being more loving, having more peace, feeling more joyful, being more secure or more confident or feeling safe? Because you could, if that occurs to you. So what you're doing is learning how to evolve yourself in a positive way through a simple exercise. Because if you can, and it is possible, then the question is, would you? And if you might, because you could. Will you? And that's the question. Will you use it? Will you do it? And you can program yourself like I just shared with you. You just future pace that you think of different times and places, different experiences, different activities, different social settings, alone or with other people where you might want to use this. And you imagine doing it. And you run the scenario in your head in advance like a fire drill, so that when you find yourself in that situation, you can use something like, my friend has an office and he's got this big red door. So as I come to the red door, it reminds me to go, okay, I want two times more energy, or I want two times more confidence, or I want two times more peace, or I want to be able to speak in a relaxed way with him, but feel confident and secure. And so I say, hi, how you doing? You know, I'm glad to meet with you today because instead of running the old patterns of worry and fear and inferiority and I'm an introvert and I'm a this and I'm a that and all the labels of it, you're going, I feel great. How you doing? Tell me about yourself today. So it's all attitude. It truly is attitude. It's attitude. But the attitude has an effect on all of the physical things you do, all of the emotional things you do, all of the skills you learn. Because guess what? Kids learn more in play than anywhere else. They didn't learn as much as sitting in classrooms being told they were wrong 98 out of 100 times, you know, oh, you got two right. They don't go, oh, God, you got two right. Maybe next time you'll get three. How amazing is that? You actually, this is wonderful. You're making progress. No, they go, you got 98 wrong. There's something wrong with you. Maybe we should throw you back in another. So imagine how that child feels. Well, it's time for that child to grow up. That child has carried all that crap along a long enough time. So go, you know what? I'm not going to live that way anymore. I'm going to release. I'm going to let go, and I'm going to choose to live my life differently. I'm going to. No more dog crap but diamonds. And it is a choice. Everything you do is a choice. Some of those choices are made outside of your conscious awareness because they're habits. They happen automatically. You don't know it, and they may be doing the things that you don't like. That's there for your safety. That's There for your good. People say sabotage. It's not sabotage. It's just brain is doing what it learned to do. So it's actually working on your behalf. It's just that you've decided, I don't want to do that anymore. Somebody says, I don't want to eat pie anymore. Well, if you say, I don't want to eat pieces, what's. What's the thought in your head? Pie. Eat pie. Eat pie. I don't want to eat pie. I don't want to eat pie. I don't want to eat pie. All you're thinking is, I want to eat pie. I want to eat pie. I want to eat pie. Because that's. The brain has learned to eat pie. It doesn't care whether you eat pie or not. Because this is what I do. This is what I do. This is what I do. So now you don't want pie. But you're. But you want pie. You do want pie because you say you. You want to eat pieces, you know, and you're fighting it and you're going, well, I sabotage myself. No, you're not. You. What, what's happening is you're consciously resisting the habits that are already in place and not liking it. So you blame what's in place instead of saying, I'm going to change what I'm doing so that I cooperate with what's going on and steer it in a new direction so that instead of getting dog crap, I start getting more diamonds.
A few folks are looking for, like, apple pie and blueberry piece. We're actually looking at this, you know, with a great deal of respect for Rex and the time it is, is taken. And we'll talk a little bit about your book before we go over to VIP as well, where, Rex, hopefully you can join us and if there are any questions, I'm sure we can spend 30 minutes or so over in. In the VIP session. If you missed that, the price has gone up. I've got it on a timer and I've increased the price. I'm sorry about that. The link is still on the screen. But what an amazing session from Rex just now. Let me know in the comments are your initial thoughts. Has that been helpful? But you can apply this Rex, when it comes to I can now go and launch a business.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I mean, that is the point, you know, take what we did, which is a simple thing, and understand that that simple transition can affect everything that you do. And if you understand that, then launching your business and developing the faith in yourself and the trust and the. The confidence that I can do that. I can do this. I got this. And not only that, you got a great coach. You got Danny showing you how to do it. So. So between that kind of combination, if you give yourself permission to move forward, you will move forward and you will surprise and delight yourself.
100. 100 and thanks. I just want to bring everyone's attention. Like, a few folks have actually just gone and ordered the book, so that's always good. The links on. On the screen. Life on your Terms by Rex Sykes. And you've not wrote this like folks normally write a book with big, long chapters. Rex, right? These are like small bite size, easy to understand. Like, renew your commitment to abundance. Let's go. They're positive. It's pretty. It's pretty, like, speaks for itself. There's enough stuff in there that can literally change your life. One thing in here can change your life. It's great reading on the back. Dr. Joe Vital is on there. Brian Tracy, there's. There's like, Rex is the man. And if. If you rewind this and you watch back what he's just done in the last 30 minutes, imagine what he could do in 30 hours. So, Rex, we're forever grateful VIPs, you get the extra little treat. We're not going to keep Rex all day, although I know he loves this stuff. Maybe he's just shared with us the trick of how he can be on every Live in everyone's podcast in the same day. Everyone's loving this, but this is super important because I'm going to give you some homework. I want you to go and approach these tasks with that. 2 times, 3 times, 10 times more positivity and energy and this sort of excited curiosity that this stuff is possible.
Right?
It's not just possible. There's. There's people doing this all day, every day, and the software and all these things that you might be worried about. That ain't something to worry about. It's here to make your job easy. What you need to do is embrace this, follow along with what we show you over the next few days, and do what Rex showed you just now. You go out there and we can crush it this week, right? So let me know in the comments if you're ready to crush it this week. Be ready to go over to vip. We're going over there in a few minutes. If you do want to sign up, the link's on the screen. But this is what I want you to do. Whether you're on the Free or you're on the VIP. I want you to go to www.5shortdares.com forward/homework. There's a bunch of homework on there if you need to catch up. I want you to get a piece of paper, get your pad, I want you to write down if anything still is blocking you, and then go and take a picture of that and post it up in the group so I can address that. As soon as we start tomorrow, I want you to write down your goals for the week and any kind of idea that comes into your mind, whether you want to sell books or fishing tackle or you want to sell your own products or whatever it is. And on the homework sheet you've actually got a Zen Drop, a link to Zen Drop, right? And I just want to show you this real quick because we're going to get into this tomorrow. This is literally over a million products that you can go on there and you can source. Don't worry about the price, don't worry about any of that stuff. Just go on there, create an account. It's on that homework sheet and you'll be able to go on and literally find products. So this is going to give you a head start. Like if you want to sell hats, so you want to sell shirts, so you want to sell pink bikinis, or you want to sell journals, or you want to sell like, whatever the, like the earrings, I don't know, or stickers or toddler clothes or whatever this does. Like, ah, there's gazillions of things, right? They've got great results and I've already been building out things. You've got categories. Art, you know, as you go out there and there's all this artistic stuff and you know, there's lighters with art. I don't even know. There's millions of things on here, right? And there's some stuff ships from the U.S. some stiff stuff, ships from China, some of this stuff ships from different locations in the world. You can filter all of this at the top, but on your homework sheet you have got this link. Www.5shortdares.com. You've got the link for Zen Drop, you got the link for clickfunnels. You can think about a niche that you want to start with. Don't forget, in a week, using that energy that Rex has just saw perfectly, Sean, as I had to unlock, and this fear that look, this feeling that I can do anything, there is no fear, there is no anxiety. There's no worry. The products are there, you can sell them. If you Just know how to put them on a page. I'm going to show you how to. In fact, I'm going to give you the page. There's even a page on there for selling the book and people are already doing that already. So it's not like even. You don't even need to wait till the end of the week. You can start figuring some of this stuff out yourself. We're just going to dot the eyes and cross the T's. Try and pick a niche. Try and think what might be blocking you. If anything get you two times energy. If you want a fancy signature like I've got on my, on my slides, that could just be your logo. Just go and buy your name as a signature. And if you've not got a domain name of any sort, you know, Rex has got rexsykes.com and then you can have forward slash book. I've got five short days dot com. I could have forward slash homework. Go to like Godaddy or Ionos or somewhere and spend $10 on a domain name that you can use this week. You know, Danny, shop.com. let's not over complicate it, right? Caroline's cards, whatever it is, think what you want to sell and go and grab a fancy demand. There's millions of them. Don't sit there thinking, oh, maybe somebody's got this. Who cares? They don't care about you. They would have gone and bought the demand. Just stay away from trademarks and then we can kind of make something look if, if you don't get it with the fashion, you, you could try the fishing. Does that make sense? So there's all that listed on the homework sheet. Give yourself a head start. Go in there, grab some bits and pieces from that and just get started. Think at least of the idea. What roughly do you want to sell? And let me know in the comments, Let me know in the group. Take a picture of this posted up. If you're vip, you've got a workbook. Find a page that matches and go and write it in the workbook. So you can kind of say, hey, this is what's blocking me, this is what's stopping me. What do I need to do about it? Write down some goals. Write down an idea. Because like if you do that, Rex, it's kind of important, right? If you sort of write down your goal, what is it you want to do? I want to sell 10 of these books by the end of the week is better than saying I don't know. So let's try and figure it Out. Zen Drop is full of inspiration. Don't get caught in the weeds. Spend 10 minutes that, hey, what could I sell? Oh, look, there's skateboards, right? I'm gonna do Peter's Skateboard Store. Because the demand costs you $10, right? If, if it doesn't work, you can cancel it next year and you can get another one. Don't come tomorrow with a hey, I bought every single demand. The best thing to do is just buy something simple, you know, Superstore, whatever, right? Simplestore.com Easystore.com Nice store.com Whatever. If you can't get dot com, try something else. If you had a demand, you had some goals and I'll think an idea about what's blocking you. We've got somewhere to plug the tech in on your domain. We've got an idea of what you want to sell. So I can, I can work with you and you've got a list of things that I can help you overcome. Post them up in the group. Just go and post them in the group and let me know what you're up to, where you're at. Share your homework with me and then I can build tomorrow's slides, which I haven't done yet, on the back of that. Does that make sense? Is everybody excited? Are you ready for this? This is great, says Palm. It could be notebooks, it could be journals, it could be Kim's Kettles, whatever you want to sell, right? But it's on Zen Drop and it's ready for. You don't have to ship it, you don't have to do anything at all with this stuff. You just plug it into the funnels I'm going to give you, show you how to run the ads and you can be off selling it and getting leads and contacts and customers if you want the vip, the links below. If you are a vip, you should have links for a Google meeting. We're bang on time. We're bang on the hour. We already know over to vip, but just let me know in the chat. Did we do it? The mindset is sorted thanks to Rex. The strategy. You understand what we're going to do? We're going to build Facebook pages and funnels and, and run ads and get people on the communities who can buy some stuff. You know what's possible because I've showed you. You've got all these people clicking and buying in your first sale. You know exactly what we're doing. Your ideas are flowing. You're already creating because you want to get on your demand and all the rest of it. Ever. Say yes.
Yes.
Yes. Ready? Let's go. There's clapping and applause and everything. Rex Sykes, thank you so much. We're bang on. Literally bang on the hour. Right, if all this did is teach you how to run a presentation to exactly to the minute, maybe there's a course in that somewhere. Rex, you're still with me. We're going over to vip. We're going to take off an hour and see questions. You've got the Google link of your vip. If you're not, you'll get it in the members area, but for everybody who's watched, free, if you don't want to be a VIP, we'll see you tomorrow. VIPs, head to that Google link. We'll see you in there in a second. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. It's Danny Walsh. I can't wait to get into it this week. Thanks, everybody. Bye. Bye.
