Here's what they don't tell you about a $50K commission month in high-ticket sales

Here we are, you guys. We're doing it again. Another week of doing the thing, building businesses, filming videos. Before we get into the video, I gotta ask you guys to subscribe because every Thursday we drop a deep dive educational video on how to land a good 1099 remote sales job. And every Sunday it's a video like this, still gonna help you land 1099 remote sales jobs. But a little bit more behind the scenes, showing you how we're building the business or how I'm building these businesses and what it's like doing this. So before we get into this, you guys subscribe and I'm going to drop a testimonial bomb on you guys pretty much right off the bat here just because it's pulled up. But got it here from our guy Michael. He's officially one year into the community and he is a tech account executive and a DM setter still on the same DM. Setting offer that he first got on, exceeded KPIs as a DM setter, and was headhunted for a new AE role. Shout out to Dylan and the crew for all they do. You really can get what you work for out of serial sales. This is dedicated to record-breaking since December was my highest cash collected month as a DM setter. P.S. Yes, I recruit my community investment in well under a year. Is that good? The last like Sunday video I showed you guys our new wins challenges, so we're getting these Dumped in here. And look at this one. Holy cow. From closer to director with $200K plus base. Jake is a guy whose friend sent him one of my PDFs from back in the day. Then he joined the community, became a remote closer, actually worked in the agency that I sold, was a manager and a closer in there. And through that agency, through meeting people, he landed a role with a $200K plus base, nasty commission structure too. It's a life-changing role. Definitely a life changer for my family. This means my wife and I can start family planning, get her out of the workforce. 3 years ago, bootleg PDF. Now, a remote contracted $200K per year base and a lot of commission on top of that. Last one. We had a hot Monday. Uh, Josh, $50K cash collected today. That is a $5,000 day. And Josh hosted a coaching call. I posted it in one of our last videos and I just uploaded that as a module. So it's like almost 2 hours of him coaching people in the community. I'm gonna start doing that some more. New video, new wins, kicking off 2026 hot. And we're giving away some AirPods this month. AirPod Pro Max, the big ones, the expensive ones. I don't know where mine are, but the nice ones. So join us, post some wins. Let's get into it. YouTube crew, I come bearing great news. I wanted to talk to you guys about my 2026 goals because I think it's cool to document, maybe spark some ideas for you guys. And I want to share with you an absolutely insane thing that happened inside of our community. And I'll actually start with that because it's shorter. Jordan, community member, actually joined like 2 months ago about. He's already been in the space. I actually met him at our second event and he came to our next one and then he joined our community. Got to know him a little bit, but he posted, super grateful to share. Last month I crossed my first $50K USD month in commissions. I think he did $54K. It's crazy to think that I went full-time into the high-ticket space 1.5 years ago. Back then the goal was $10K per month. Now I'm not sharing this because I'm telling you that you're going to do this. The chances of you doing this are actually very, very slim. The chances of most people doing this, very slim. I am sharing this to show you what's possible. And Jordan's a 24-year-old dude that travels around. I think he's in Dubai right now. He's from Canada. If this dude could do $50K in a month, some of you guys watching this might be making $50K in a year. Like, why can't I do 5? You can. Just think about that too. I don't know your situation, how much money you have in your bank account, but if you're newer to the game, let's just say Canada wrecks him on taxes. He gets 50% taken. It's still more than $25K in his Bank. That's a down payment on a house for 30 days of work. If you're new to the game and you can condense the time in which you get ahead and play into the tax code, you will win. Now let's get into some 2026 goals. I have to find a new spot for you guys. So you guys all know, big journal dude, and my goals are not in this journal. They're in a different one. So I'm going to have to tell you from memory. It's a good test. Let's see if they're really goals. So my first goal was to have 20% growth in the community at minimum. I'll measure that by cash collected. Last year we had our final numbers for the community come in. We actually had about $20,000 more cash collected than revenue signed. Not very often. A lot of these online high-ticket businesses have a lot more revenue signed and they have people like default on payment plans or not like the product and not pay. Yeah, I mean default. So It's cool that we have a higher cash collected to revenue signed ratio. 20% growth is my first goal. My second goal is with Because of Sales right here. And it is to get that profitable because it's not yet profitable. And then to be plus $1 on the acquisition of a subscriber. So right now it costs us $1.93 to acquire a subscriber through Facebook ads. Immediately through recommendations, we make about 40 cents per subscriber. So we're, we're like negative $1.50 per subscriber, which is fine because we're building an audience and that whole audience can be monetized. But we could do both. We can be profitable on acquisition and we can be profitable on the whole audience. So that's goal number 2. Goal number 3 is a sub-3-hour marathon. And I haven't really kept you guys updated, but I had this thing called costochondritis. I still have it. Self-diagnosed, kind of. I've been dealing with this for about a month, but then I was— I dealt with it in April and I didn't know what it was. It's basically inflammation of the joint where your rib meets your sternum. And for the longest time— well, first off, back up— it hurts really bad. It feels like you're having a heart attack when it flares up. It's not very clear that it is your rib because your nervous system radiates the pain through your chest and your arm and up to your head, even through your neck. And so I've been dealing with that and I could not figure it out. And I nailed it down to this thing called costochondritis, which is actually Cause. So the inflammation here is caused by this moving because your rib on your backside towards your upper back is like locked. And so I've been doing thoracic mobility stuff. Basically, I am feeling better. And as soon as I'm feeling better, we're back on the training. I don't think I'll be able to do sub-3-hour in April when I was hoping to maybe do it. It might be more towards the end of the year, but we're still going to do it. So sub-3-hour marathon. The next thing that I had on was a net worth goal. And I'm not going to dox my exact scenario, but I'd like to increase my net worth by— I'm trying to think of a percentage. I can't really think of it right now. Yeah, I'd like to increase my net worth by a certain amount. And so I've already kind of calculated upcoming big expenses that I'm expecting, which we'll talk about them. But yeah, I have a net worth goal. The next thing is I want to max out a whole life insurance policy for this year. And so I didn't quite max out whole life insurance policy. Last year I got close. I want to do it this year. If you guys don't know about whole life insurance, it's basically the precursor to the whole infinite banking thing, being able to take out loans against your money that's tax advantaged while it still compounds. It's the stuff that the Rockefellers do, and it's, uh, slow and boring in the beginning, but it can be really, really good if you see it through at least 5 years. Maxing that out is about $120 grand with my policy. Next thing is I want to purchase my first primary residence, and I'm gonna try to do the, the same thing that I do like with vehicles. Get something nice that I enjoy, but buy smart, you know, buy at a good time, work a deal on a rate, make sure it's a property that's— if it's not appreciating, that it's not gonna just drop in value. We're in Austin, Texas, so like Property values are kind of crazy. Yeah, buy a property because of the next goal. I think I'm getting married in April of this year and it's probably time to be family guy after that. So getting married, probably going to try to work on kid number one. Having a house and a garage would be cool. A lawn to mow. That'd be cool too. Going to buy like a starter house. Might do the whole house hacking thing, but probably not. I'm not very interested in the single-family residential stuff. I don't want to be a landlord. I'd rather just put that money into the market, into the existing portfolio that I have. Not purely an investment, but I just want to buy it, buy smart. So I have options. The next thing is invest in one more private equity deal. And so as a business owner or even a 1099 sales rep, you can offset income by buying into certain deals, asset classes with bonus depreciation. You see this a lot when people buy cars, they buy like G-Wagons or Ford Raptors. Heavy cars because they meet some sort of tax deduction. There's a code that everyone says, I don't know it. That's a— I mean, it's a way to get a cool car. I've bought some cars. This one I'm in is pretty new. I'd rather just have that as a personal thing. I don't really drive all that much for what I do, so I don't want to try to justify that. Instead of buying the G-Wagon, invest into something like— example of what I've done before, I invested into GPS-tracked pallets. So I am the proud owner of 500 GPS-tracked shipping pallets. It's about half a million dollars worth. I took out a loan, I put a certain amount down, and that generates me— well, not only does it offset taxes, but it generates me, if I'm not mistaken, like $1,100 a month that is just going— I'm not like putting that in my pocket, it's going towards paying off the loan, and then eventually we're all happy and free and clear. So invest in one more of those, that could take $50,000 to $100,000. I've already kind of Reverse engineer the numbers with community growth. If we can get to the threshold that I think, then I should be able to afford max out whole life insurance, private equity, hit this net worth, and buy a property. That'd be a good year. That would be a good year. And run a sub-three-hour marathon. I told you guys just briefly about the costochondritis thing, dude. I haven't been filming that much because that shit has taken a toll on me. Like, it has made my life significantly less enjoyable because I. First off, I didn't know what it was at first. Now that I know what it is, it's a lot less scary. There was one time recently where I was on back-to-back-to-back community calls because that's how we do it. And I remember towards the end of the last call, I was fading out and I asked my fiancée to take me to the med clinic because I was like, I'm either going to pass out or have a heart attack. I don't know what's happening. Let's go. Now, after stretching my back and doing rehab exercises, we're feeling better. So there's a saying about like When you're not healthy, the only thing that you want is your health, and that is true. And and I'm super grateful. I expressed this to my fiancée the other day. I'm super grateful that my business can still run while I'm experiencing this. Like I'm not having to take time off work. As long as I can get out my YouTube videos, post my content, and host some live calls, we can still function at a high level. And thank you to you guys for trusting us to help you guys. You know, we always put our best foot forward, always try to do things in the name of transparency, and this doesn't happen without you guys. So thank you for supporting me and my family, my future family. I think we're on to something good here. All right, guys, it's a few days later. I was telling you about my chest stuff. So crazy to the point where I went to the med clinic multiple times. I went to the ER because I think there's something wrong with my heart, some type of cardiac event. Turns out the whole time it is Tightening of your thoracic spine. So up here, very top. And not like the— like, this is the spine, not like tight this way. It's like the connection of the ribs to the spine. And then that comes around, radiates to the front, creates inflammation where your ribs meet your sternum, and then it radiates pain through your chest and your arm. And then spikes your nervous system. I feel it go up to my neck, up to my head. I feel like I'm about to pass out. Anyways, I started stretching my back, laying on weirdly shaped items, and I started running again. And we might be back. We might be back. And so in honor of us being back, I got new running shoes. These are the Adidas Adizero EV SL or Evo SL. Very highly rated, very popular right now. No more pink shoes for the time being. They even got this Continental sole, which is like a tire brand. So I tried them on, they're super comfy. I am recording this pre-run. I'm about to go hit a chill 10 miles and really test my legs. What I noticed from being like basically 3:10 marathon pace to taking 4 weeks off basically is my lungs are still there. My heart rate was just like way higher. And my legs are super, super sore. So I ran 4 miles and 6 miles. I'm going to do 10. I'm going to try to ramp up the next few days, push it a little bit, take a couple days off, and then we have a half marathon on Sunday. I don't really know what my goal is going to be yet. We're going to see how these days go. But there's a saying where it's like, the guy who has his health wants everything, the guy who doesn't Just wants that. It's a lot more profound, the actual saying, but that's the idea. And it's so true, man. Like, I haven't been able to work very much, work out, do things socially. It's been tough. So it's good to be back. Got some fresh kicks. We're gonna try them out. I'll give you guys a report. All right, you guys, I'm on the floor with my dog who is Right here. This is what it means to own a Doberman, basically. Uh, post-run, I got a lot to talk to you guys about, both personal and sales and setting expectations and cool things that happen. I actually have a list of things that we're going to talk about. Here's what it's going to be. Uh, shoe run update. So, God, update on the shoes. Uh, my plan here with Running moving forward, a guy who I literally just met at the coffee shop after my run found me on socials. Some questions that I get super super often about the high ticket space, the state of high ticket space on social media prompted by the guy that I just met. I want to talk a little bit more about Jordan's fifty thousand dollar month, and I want to talk lastly about a message that our CSM got last week. So. While doing that, I've got foam roller, large dog ball, this makeshift contraption that's supposed to be, uh, it's, it's like oblong. It's like a weird shape, but it's the shape for a reason for my back. Massage gun and 2 slices of leftover pizza, which I'm probably just gonna hold off on. She's being annoying with the pizza. Yeah, my legs are cooked from taking basically a month off running. Luckily my Breathing capacity is still there, but my legs need to be warmed back up. I did 19 miles in the last 3 days, which is kind of close to like the normal training schedule, but it hurts a lot more because I haven't been training. There's a half marathon next Sunday that I already paid for, already registered. It's the Austin International Half. I was looking forward to it because I was going to try to PR, which I still think I can do, but it's a downhill race. So a little bit easier to PR. And so, uh, this is what it's like to own a Doberman, in case y'all were wondering. So basically my— she's literally sitting right here. So basically my goal is, my goal is to like push myself. It's Sunday today. The race is next Sunday. My goal is to push myself over the next few days to kind of get a gauge for where I'm at so that I can have a prediction of what I should expect. For the half marathon. 9 miles today, 3 at like 8:45, 4 at 7-minute pace, which is the pace I would like to hold for that whole half marathon, 7 minutes. And then I did 2 at about 8:45. Hopefully all goes well. I'm gonna take a few days off before the marathon. We should be good. Now that I can run and drink coffee again, I went to the coffee shop after I ran. I get approached by somebody who actually, I think he just found me on Instagram like last week but has been seeing my stuff. And he's a sales guy who went from tech sales to roofing sales who was asking me about high ticket because he has a friend who had done it and made a lot of money and he's considering it because roofing kind of slowed down, not any hailstorms recently. So we chatted for a while. I guess a little quick promo, there's an event happening here in Austin that I should be posting links to soon but I'm going to be speaking at. My buddy Tristan Workman is hosting it. It's on the marathon weekend. A lot of guys are coming down to run the marathon and have like a big old high-ticket meetup, so to speak, with some speaking panels and whatnot. So that was one thing that we talked about. I told him like, dude, that's probably the best thing you could go to to kind of learn what this is all about. He's asking me all the ordinary questions, the same questions that I had when I got into this space. Is it real? Is it true? Is it what I think it is? One of those questions is like tech sales versus high ticket, which one's better? And I think most high ticket guys are gonna be like, oh, high ticket's way better, dude. Like tech sales sucks. Don't waste your time doing tech sales. Or he even asked me like compared to roofing sales, 'cause I sold roofs before, if you guys don't know that. I said they're all good in their own way. And like unfortunately most high ticket people are gonna tell you that everything else sucks just to like sell you on their way. But no, I'm not gonna get into why I think they're all good in their own way in this video. But dude, there's pros and cons, man. I think I told him this. If you're a younger dude and you don't have too much responsibility, I think the earning ceiling of high ticket that you unlock basically immediately almost, especially with sales experience, it's way higher than both tech and roofing. It's commission only. There's downside, right? So I had another guy ask me that recently. I think he's in Austin too. It was like last night I was talking to him on Instagram and he's in tech sales. He's asking about high ticket and he literally asked me like, which one's better? Dude, they're both good based on what you want. This guy on Instagram was asking like, what, you know, which one can I make more in? Well, you know, again, short term, I think high ticket. Long term, I mean, you guys probably heard there's dudes in software that make a million bucks a year. I know one, he works for Salesforce, he's been there a long time, he's an older guy, makes over a million a year. Anyways, that leads me to the next point of discussion, which is the state of these high-ticket sales kids. I made an Instagram reel on this earlier. If you don't follow me, that's where I'm the most active. I think you should follow me there. Dude, all these high-ticket sales kids— actually, take it back to the guy in the coffee shop. He asked me, is it saturated? And I said, no, dude. Like, one of your competitors— like, saturation should be a good sign. You just compete your way to the top. But like, the amount of like serious people in high-ticket sales, it's pretty low. Like, it's pretty easy to win if you're serious. Which then leads me to the whole social media thing. Like, dude, all these high-ticket sales kids, unfortunately the most stupid ones get the most traction on social media. And, uh, that's what most people think high-ticket sales is. And I was like, no, dude, like, there's some freaking savages, savage professionals that make insane money, like Jordan, who made $50K in December, that I'm going to talk about a little bit more now. All these kids, man, they're, they're young. They're like 18 years old. They make it to $10K month. I feel like I've talked about this with y'all. They make an $18K month or a $10K month, and then they go teach other people how to do high-ticket sales. And that's like a pretty small microcosm of the entire space, to be honest. Like any online business that doesn't have necessarily the runway to pay W-2 base and benefits is going to hire a high-ticket sales— high-ticket sales— sales rep, 1099 commission only. These online businesses are Everywhere, dude. I spoke to someone. Oh, the interview coming out next Thursday. I have another 10K per month interview with a guy from Portugal. He sells an offer. It's a program that teaches people how to speak Mandarin. Like these language coaching services need high-ticket sales reps. I was talking to this other guy about cybersecurity boot camps, tech sales boot camps. Like dude, these boot camps for these professional services or another one that my buddy runs They do career coaching for like product managers that want to get in with top firms like Google and Apple or whatever, you know, wherever they want to go. Netflix. It's like, dude, you can sell something serious to people that are serious, feel really good about what you're doing and make a lot of money. You don't have to sell dropshipping courses to 17-year-olds on credit. The space on social media, unfortunately, the loudest ones don't really paint the picture all that well. But that's my job, I guess. That's what I'm here to do. Next, let's talk about this $50K month a little bit more. I was trying to figure out what I was gonna kind of title this video, and I think it's gonna be something along the lines of that $50K month because I think people will click on it, to be honest with you. I'm playing the YouTube game here, but it's real, so I wanna talk about it. And kind of going back to the social media thing, if you're watching this and you wanna get into high-ticket sales and make $50K a month, do something else. Like, I'm gonna be honest with you guys, I could probably count on maybe 2 hands the people that I know that have made $50,000 in a month in high-ticket sales. It's super, super, super rare. Is it possible? Yeah, and I like to let people know of what's possible. Is it likely? Hell no. Is it likely for you? Hell no. Even $30K, even $20K and up is an unlikely result. If you look at all the people in this industry, that's pretty damn unlikely. You look at like all the interviews that we have, I think we have a good concentration of people who make a lot of money because we're pretty serious about what we do. $50K a month is insane. That's life-changing money. You probably won't make it. And if you are coming into the high-ticket 1099 space because you want to make $50K a month, $30K a month, and like it's only worth your time if you can do that, do something else. This was not on the agenda, but I had someone A friend intro'd someone that he knew that was selling timeshares, making $300 grand a year selling timeshares. I think he had been doing it for a while. And he's like, yeah, dude, like basically I just want to get in and like maybe work less, be remote, and make like $20 grand a month. And even that guy, he's probably great at sales, sold cars before, and long sales background. I mean, nobody can guarantee you $20K per month. Like you have to get that yourself. The easiest way to get it is being connected to the right people. That's the hardest part. Someone asked me like recently, what was the hardest part? Or like, what's the hardest part? Oh, it was Grok. I was having a conversation with Grok. What's the hardest part about high-ticket sales? And for the people that are making a lot of money in sales now, it's navigating out of a good sales role and not burning the boats too early where you just nuke a really good income for something that's not good. Everyone's situation is gonna be different. And that's why like in the community that we run, You know, we're really, really big on expectation setting and what you can expect earnings and timeline-wise. But that's like the biggest hurdle a lot of people have if they're already making money is like, how do I not burn this to the ground prematurely, but then also make sure I get something good and serious that's gonna last? The age-old question. $50K a month is extremely uncommon. My buddy Cole, I think he did $100K in a month, over $100K. Commission one month, like it's possible, it's out there, but very unlikely. Hopefully I can clickbait this title and thumbnail good enough to get good amount of views on this so that I can reset the expectation on earnings in the high-ticket space. You can make a lot of money, but it's not guaranteed. It's actually very unlikely. And I say that as a precaution. If you're the type of person that hears me say all this and you're still interested, good. You're the exact type of person that will make that kind of money. Potentially. Lastly here, our CSM got a message from a member who does not have an interview yet, but I think he will soon because I think this month he should hit his first $10K month. I think he did $7K last month. If you didn't know, we do have a referral program for our community. You refer someone that joins or they list you as a referral, we'll pay you, I think it's $200 or $250 if you're not a member, and it's like $400 if you are a member. Pretty good. Help your friend out. You get helped out, and here's the message. Pop it up here. I don't recall off the top of my head word for word, but it was something along the lines of "Hey, thank you. You completely changed my life," or something like that. We've had a lot of wins being posted in our group. The Jordan one, the Jordan 50K month is one of those, which by the way, Jordan is going to film a community member interview with us despite him being in a little bit of a different situation. He joined the community and was already making. Great money. There's a handful of people that do that just because of the network jobs. It's an insurance policy. While you're ahead, put some money into the insurance policy. The message that Eric sent to us, man, this is, this is why we do it, man. They, they— look, the $50K a month is freaking awesome, and that is life-changing in itself, but like just these simple light messages of like, dude, You changed my life. I posted a couple of these, uh, I think it was Christmas or New Year's. I got a couple. That's why we do it, man. I show you the trophies, right? Like, well, the trophies for the members, but then also like the trophies that, you know, I get from running a business. I showed you, bought a new car, and that's cool. But like, man, having an impact on someone's life like that is— that's what it's about. And let's just say worst case scenario, man, they do a $10K month and then don't do it the next month, don't do it the next month. One thing that that person will have Well, actually 2 things that that person will have that will never be taken away from them. An income can be taken away, but what cannot be taken away is those results on a resume and the conviction in yourself that you are the person capable of doing that. And so you should be able to do it again. And I think that is— that's where greatness spawns, dude. I've shared the community member playlist that we have where we interview people. We got another one dropping for you guys next week. As I said, we got the one with Jordan coming. I'm on the road to help 100 people make their first $10K per month in the high-ticket remote setting or closing space. I'm aiming for 100 interviews. There's gonna be a little bit more than 100 'cause not all those are $10K per month, but most of them are. If you want to join into something that's mutually beneficial, you change your life, and get exposure to something that's quite lucrative, and you help us chase our goal of helping 100 people earn their first $10K per month in a month, then go down to that first link in the description. That is the page for our community. Business I've been running for 3 and a half years, and it's been, it's been growing, it's been scaling over time. We've got more results, more proof of results than anybody times 10. Go look at my Instagram highlights, look at these interviews. It's almost like probably 17 hours of one-on-one interviews. And to round it all out, uh, I'm not a high-ticket closer myself anymore. I did build a done-for-you high-ticket sales agency to $700,000 a month, and then I sold it managing 30 reps. I think that stands for something. We're pretty good at what we do, you guys. If you're interested in a change, a big one, or maybe a small one, First link in the description. Book a call, chat with a team, and I think that's going to be this video. I'm going to lay out my foam roller and start doing the real work, but I'll see you guys next week. We got a banger interview coming to you. Peace.
