How I created escape velocity with high-ticket sales (copy me)

Happy New Year to the 3 ladies and all the gentlemen that watch my videos. Today is January 1st, 2026, and we're going to keep doing what we've been doing every week. Thursday, educational deep dive video, what you're about to see here. Every Sunday, a little bit more behind the scenes, building businesses, helping people get sales jobs, being a dude and just having fun with it. Okay. So in this video, I'm going to show you why I chose high ticket sales as the opportunity to start building escape velocity for myself. Now, what is escape velocity? Everybody has a different definition. For me, it was getting closer to the goal of— well, let's just get into it. We'll zoom in here, make sure we're all lined up. And while I do this, you guys, subscribe right now. Take 2 seconds, subscribe, because this is going to be good and hopefully it helps you. So when I was younger, I had no desire to be a policeman or an astronaut. What I wanted was to have optionality and I wanted to be with my loved ones and provide at a high level and enjoy quality time with my friends and family. It was not stable career, cool title, or doing something in particular. I was just looking for a vehicle to build my life. And so I actually ended up in roofing sales somehow out of school. I was really pursuing a higher income because I knew these salespeople at this company were getting paid a lot. I was in project management, not making as much. I absolutely Hated the idea of being in sales. But I love the idea more than I hated the idea of being in sales. I love the idea of making a lot of money, especially in my early 20s. And in my early 20s, I got to the point of making about $180K pacing on the year. And then I quit. And I had felt like I plateaued in a sense. And I already kind of unlocked the money part. Now let me do this in a more optimal way. Before I quit, When I was evaluating options, there was really 3 types of sales that I was looking into. And this is because I knew I had learned the skill of sales. I knew this fundamental skill would be able to provide me the life that I want and help me unlock what I want in my life. Not that I necessarily even liked sales, but I liked what sales was getting for me so early on in my career. So I doubled down. You know, I'm looking at all the options. I'm like, what, what can I go sell? And these are the 3 ones that I really narrowed down to: the high-ticket space, what I post about now, what I'm in now. You could guess which one I went with— tech or real estate. I'll talk a little bit more about why I was, or why I was looking at these seriously, including high-ticket, the upside, the downside. But just know, when I was getting out of roofing sales, this is what I was looking for. And before we get any further in this video, you guys, none of these are bad options. In fact, you can argue that high ticket is the worst option out of all these. It depends what you want out of your life and how you want to get it. Okay, so if you're anything like me, I valued what high ticket could bring to me, and that's why I pursued it. So let's keep going. The first thing that we need to kind of notate when we're trying to build escape velocity, let's just say we're starting from zero. Well, what we really need to do, you You need to get into sales, okay? Or you need to learn a skill that you can start charging a lot of money for, start getting compensated a lot of money for while doing the same amount of work. So in sales, you can be incentivized by performance, you can make more money when the company makes more money, it's one-to-one. And a company's never not going to want to make more money, right? But not sales. The incentives are potentially not aligned or structured as equally for both parties. And so what getting into sales does and what learning high-income skills does Is it separates the money that you can make from the time that you work. In lower-level sales, not entirely by any means. But if we look at these 2 gentlemen right here, David and Jeff, I don't know if this guy's name is David. One of these guys, if he didn't get out of bed on any given day, he's not making any money. The other one is making up to $2 billion in revenue. Obviously, Jeff Bezos is not a sales guy. But that is the whole point that I'm getting at. Sales is like the bridge between normie lifestyle and entrepreneurship. And it's, it's just a good direction to go in if you want to start to excel your income as fast as possible. So then I kind of crossed this bridge, 1099 versus W-2. And you guys watching this, hopefully you're familiar. 1099 is you're not really an employee, you're more of a contractor. W-2, this is in the US, W-2 means you are an employee. There's benefits to both of these. 1099 typically has a higher risk profile as a sales rep because you're going to be 100% performance-based, if not close to it. But that being said, you have more upside potential. Side break here. When I was in roofing sales, I started out getting paid $18 an hour in commission, and I slowly negotiated my way up as I got more comfortable in the role. I didn't negotiate my base pay. I didn't negotiate my hourly. I negotiated the commission and then I actually ended up negotiating the base pay down in an attempt to get a higher commission. And me pacing $180K like a third of the way through the year did not happen because of a base pay. It happened because I was closing a lot of deals and I was— my incentive was so aligned with the company. It was just a win-win situation. So anyways, go back. What I like about 1099 and And okay, high ticket is 1099. If we go back to these options right here, high ticket, 1099, tech, 1099, real estate— I'm talking about being a realtor, uh, from what I understand is mostly 1099. Could probably be W-2. Oh shoot, did I say tech 1099? Tech is W-2. Sorry, I'm all over the place. What I like about 1099, if we're still trying to like cut out all the noise, cut out all the The BS and get to the money. 1099, because you're not paid a base and they can't like force you to do these non-revenue generating things as a contractor, you're here for one reason only and it's to sell. And you get paid when you sell and you don't get paid if you don't sell. With W-2, there's less freedom, more oversight, more non-revenue generating responsibilities. You're going to spend a lot more time in meetings potentially, and you do not get paid a single dollar For being in a meeting. If you are, I mean, you will have your W-2, but if you want to be a killer salesperson, you want to spend your time selling. Now, again, I'm not here to bash W-2. W-2 is for a lot of people. It was for me. It's for a lot of my friends, but there's benefits to it, right? Stability, salary, insurance, career trajectory. Luckily for me, when I made the decision that I made, I was in a position to play offense. I might say that a few times throughout this video because I'm a huge proponent of young men playing offense and The 3 young women that might be watching this. Getting back to the 1099 though, uh, what company doesn't want to make more money? Your incentives are aligned. And then 1099, this is a huge, huge, huge unlock when we're talking about escape velocity. There's a lot more tax benefits that come with being a contractor. Like I said, there's high upside, there's high downside. One of the upsides that come with assuming this risk is the tax benefits. So not only just to offset taxable income, but to grow investments that set you free. Airbnb is a good example. Private equity, some things I've done, and things you can bonus depreciate like a car. You don't see W-2 sales reps bonus depreciating a G-Wagon. You can also argue that that's not really the best use of this exception here. You also don't see this. What you do see is you'll see random dudes like you, like me, less sales experience, go sell solar for a summer and walk away with $90,000. You don't see tech SDRs making $90,000 in a summer. They make it in a year. And this is still great, right? But if we're looking for escape velocity, you need to understand the time value of money. The earlier we can get it, the more useful it's going to be to us. So if I can condense down the time that it takes me to get $90,000, $100,000, and then start putting that to work, that's going to help me get escape velocity. So I decided that 1099 was, was the path that I needed to play on. Because it gave me the biggest opportunity to sell more, make more, get there faster. And to really break this down, I mean, we put it into a simple who, what, when, where framework, most importantly, where, because my biggest bottleneck when I was in roofing sales was drive time and in-person appointments, and probably a local fence on where I can do business because I can only drive so far. I was spending at minimum 2 hours driving per day, most days more. I could only really go and see through 4 sales appointments in a day because I was spending my time driving. So I knew that, you know, I'm already making awesome money. I'm making better money than most people my age could ever hope for and what I could have hoped for. But I knew that the biggest bottleneck, the biggest unlock now that I have this skill was being able to sell to more people. And that is being done through a remote sales job. So remote is sexy and scalable. In person, you are limited. And if I can spend more time, if I can spend more time selling and less time driving, I can make more, right? Right. So here we end up, sales, 1099, remote. The world is your oyster at that point. Keep in mind, I'm a young dude, minimal expenses, big ambitions, top performer, financial— I have financial runway. I had a year of expenses saved. My rent was $600 a month. And I was particularly interested in online business. I've talked about this in past videos, you guys. I've tried e-com, tried dropshipping, tried copywriting, tried theme pages, tried SMMA. I tried all this stuff before it was even SMMA, just like lead generation agencies. So I had in my mind a lot to gain, a little bit to lose. And There's a saying I remember, like this saying just being stuck in my head before I ended up pulling the trigger and committing to this, which was, if not now, then when? When I get married, when I have kids, when I have higher expenses, when I have more financial responsibility, it's just going to be harder. And I'm already feeling this feeling of like not being content and wanting to push to the next level. And I had to scratch the itch. So we talked about the where. The next one is the what. We'll follow the arrow down. What? Keeping in mind these 3 things, which eliminates tech sales— we'll talk about tech sales in a little bit— I was really left looking at these options: insurance, high ticket, specifically remote closing, solar, and real estate. There's pros to all of these. You know, insurance has been around forever. It's probably going to be around forever. High ticket work from anywhere. I saw people on social media that I thought were dumber than me doing really well with it. So I was like, it can't be that hard. Solar, big industry. I'm in roofing. I know solar, I know solar is booming. I kind of know it already. Real estate pros, proven career play in San Antonio. A lot of people who have money have it from real estate, especially through the line of work and roofing. I just knew that like, these realtors and people in that space were doing pretty well. So it was attractive. Cons: insurance, you got to pay for leads, licensing, regulation. Cons in high ticket were less proven, uncertainty, which honestly this whole field of what I'm considering is less proven and uncertain. We're talking about 1099 commission-based sales jobs. Uh, cons of solar: deals fall apart, remote is iffy. I actually hadn't known anyone that was crushing remote solar at this time, so it wasn't a huge consideration. And then cons of real estate, slow transactions, feast or famine, it's in person. It could be heavily remote, but it's also in person. And then downside assessment. So one thing about me that I think I emphasize a little bit more than the average person is like a genuine analysis of upside versus downside. And if insurance doesn't work out, I lose money and time. On licensing and leads. High ticket, dude, I could just pop back into the job I had yesterday, just lose some time. Solar, same thing. And then real estate, the whole licensing and then long sales cycle. It's like, I would need to work in real estate for a year to know if it didn't work. Who and when? Like, who I'm gonna sell to and when I'm gonna sell? I mean, dude, whoever has money, whenever I can sell, like, whenever I'm awake. But I want to talk, I want to go back really quick to tech. So tech sales and why I didn't choose tech sales, because if I didn't do high ticket, I probably would have ended up in tech sales and I probably would not be making YouTube videos today. You probably would not be watching this YouTube video. I really, I like tech sales and I think it's great for certain people. If I had come to this conclusion when I was 32 with a wife and 2 kids and a mortgage and a lot more financial responsibility, I would have probably gone with tech sales. And honestly, if I didn't know better, I probably would have gone to tech sales. And if I stuck to it, I would be doing well. I just probably wouldn't be in the high-ticket space. I probably wouldn't be making these videos. So tech is good career track stability. I'm not going to say— I've said this before— I'm not going to say I have an authority problem, but in tech you have to deal with like the corporate stuff. And I was a lot more intrigued by the run-and-gun high-ticket internet business kids that are making all this money. I'm not even gonna lie to you. I always point people towards tech if they don't think that the high-ticket stuff is for them. Now get back. Who and when? These are afterthoughts. I nailed down high-ticket remote closing. I figure the upside is crazy. All these kids that don't even have sales experience, they don't even look like salespeople, are making $10,000, $20,000, $30,000 per month. I'm seeing this on Twitter. This is before everyone was making the content on Instagram. It was mostly on Twitter, at least in my understanding, and Facebook. The pros here, you know, it's sales, 1099, remote, high upside, minimal downside, aligned with interests, a fast startup. I could go apply to these jobs today and fast pivot if it doesn't work. The cons, a new industry to learn, kind of, but I already kind of knew the online marketing space and, you know, internet products and all that. And less stability. I mean, this is gonna be in any 1099 industry. I really couldn't think of too many other cons. Like you could see the fact that there is some downside as a con, but like the fact that it's minimal to me was a pro. Fast pivot, you could see that as a con, like if it doesn't work, but like this was a pro to me. So like I'm just like playing the game of probabilities. If you're in our community or you've looked into our stuff, We break these big problems down into like very understandable games and like, how can we, how can we win the game, man? Like, how can we play the probabilities and get an edge on other players? Game theory, man. So I figured, you know, let me just start. And then in month 1, I made $4,800 part-time. I did buy into a sales training program that was mostly sales training oriented. They did have some jobs posted. This gave me the proof of concept that, oh, okay, this is real. After I hit this, I had quit my roofing sales job. All of this being said, I knew I could go back to my roofing sales job or go work for a large competitor if this hit the fan. And so everything I just told you guys about, you know, me here, who I was, all of this has a slight lens over it that I knew I could go and make 6 figures again Instantly, if I needed to. You might be in that position. You might not be. You might not even need to make six figures. You might just want to make five k a month, and that's totally cool. Quick rundown on how this went down. So summer 2022 is when I really dove into my first like pretty serious offer, like pretty aligned offer, and I was selling a four thousand dollar fitness coaching package. I started at 12.5 percent commission, and we worked out two monthly incentives to where if I hit X, I think it was close percentage that we get, I get bumped up 2.5%. So one month I got bumped up to 15%, the next 17.5%. This now is pretty aggressive knowing what I know. And this should not be a dollar sign. Knowing what I know, this is pretty aggressive. If a company's offering this to you, usually a red flag. They usually don't have something proven. I was getting $700 per close at 17.5% commission. This screenshot right here, you may have seen it before. This is from the offer owner as a fitness coaching. Again, Gabe is a good friend of mine still today. And you can see Dylan enter rage mode auto closer, bro. Team, shout him out. 3 deals closed today. He's on fire. So $2,100 in 3 hours. Pretty damn cool, dude. I, you know, for me to make $2,100 in roofing sales, I'd have to drive out to an appointment, bid it, not one call close, drive home and drive to my next appointment, play the follow-up game, probably play the insurance game, go back and forth for a while, All while there's risk of like someone else swooping the deal. And for me, this wasn't so much about like making $30 grand a month and excelling my income as it was creating leverage for me to do other things and breathe, dude. Like I wasn't, I wasn't burnt out from roofing sales, but I was looking forward to having leverage. So I was taking like 3 to 4 calls a day with this company, 45 minutes each, pretty minimal meetings outside of that, like one sales team meeting a week. And I could log off or stack offers, which I did end up doing. This is the team where I recreated a 6-figure run rate income working 2 to 3 hours per day, where I broke that monthly threshold for the first time. This was in like late summer, I want to say 2022. And I committed in April or May. So it wasn't all that long. This is when I started taking on side projects, consulting, working with others to do just what I did. And basically what I was helping people with is leaving one industry with a skill and applying it to a more favorable one. This is summer 2022. Now it is January 1st, 2026, and life looks a lot different, a lot different. I could have kept doing this for a long time and life would still look different because I'd probably turn into like Bali, Mexico, Tulum travel type, whatever. But here's kind of the progression that I experienced. So in 2022, I quit the job. I was part-time closing. Side consulting. I was posting on Twitter. I started a $9 per month group chat on Slack just to like answer all the DM questions in one place and only talk to people who are like serious for $9 a month. And I started making about $6K to $15K a month. 2023, I was still closing more consulting, scaled the community, social media, got into management. The management turned into an agency. I partnered up with somebody here. And I started taking home, you know, $15,000 to $40,000 a month. 2024, scaled the agency, scaled community, social media, still posting on social media. Notice how that is consistent. You'll even see it over here. Learning one valuable skill, super important. Learning another one, super important. Combining the two, you're going to reach levels that you would not have otherwise reached, or maybe you would have reached them, but they would have taken way longer. And that could be like Sales and copywriting, sales, coding, copywriting, coding. We're talking about things where you build them once or you acquire them once, and then you can apply them to bigger and bigger and bigger use cases. That's why coding is good. That's why copywriting is good. That's why social media is good, because I'm doing the same thing. And whether one person sees it, 10 people see it, 100 people see it, 100,000 people see it, It's the same thing. It's scalable. So 2024, agency, community, social media started hitting 6-figure months. Rewind 2022. I had at the start of this, I don't know, I mean, maybe $10,000 to my name, maybe $15,000. My income really skyrocketed in roofing in 2022. I think when I quit my roofing sales job, I had about 50 or so K in like cash in the bank. Fast forward 2024, became relatively liquid post-tax millionaire at 26. From being the dude who never thought he'd be a salesperson ever to being here. I didn't think I'd be here. I literally just learned High-income skill, put my ego aside, put my fears aside, applied it because I knew it would directionally take me in the right way. Learned another skill, social media, and then just skill stacked, man. And so, I mean, 2024, that's when that happened. 2025, I sold that agency, had a nice little liquidation event, got some more money. I still scaled my community. I speak about this like it wasn't Yesterday, 2025 was yesterday. Scaled my community, we hit record months, started because of sales, social media, because of sales brand right here, it's a sales media company. So like another avenue. So I learned the skill of sales, I applied it to myself, then the community, I was like, hey, I'm good at this thing. I'm good at landing jobs. I'm good at going from one career path to another in this industry, I can help people do that. So I'm just like basically taking the skill that I was good at, put it in a format where many other people could consume it scalable. And they did and they paid me money for it and they still pay me money for it. And then I was like, well, there's another angle for this. Like there's people who want sales teams done for them. And so we built an agency and the agency still runs. They crush it. I think they did over $20 million client revenue in '25. I sold out in February. At that time we had 30 sales reps under us. So you could imagine, you know, what I could do here as a sole sales rep taking Zoom calls. Like, it's, it's still kind of the same idea of, hey, if I'm in person, I can only go to 4 appointments per day because of drive time. Well, if I'm one remote seller, I can only take so many appointments today because I have to be in there. However, with the agency, we have 30 people selling on our behalf, and now it's more. And so that unlocked a lot of scale. Long story short, the agency was awesome. I hated the business model. I realized that I like media a lot more. That's why I started Because of Sales, because I can control it. Salespeople are crazy. I knew that this business model had potential, but I also had conviction in my skill set to go and do something that's more favorable for me. I hate being asked questions day long in the middle of the night and waking up to 100 texts. That's just me. Did take a little bit of an income dip here. It's cool. I mean, you can see $50K bad months, like it's not the end of the world. I'll survive. And then 2026, the plan: scale Because of Sales, scale the community, continue scaling this social media, build a genuine media asset. Because now I've, you know, got the cash flow piece down. I'm more interested in taking a big swing, which is the Long-term enterprise value sales media company and because of sales and 50K bad months because of sales doesn't print money. We're trying to build an asset, not a cash flow business. For me, the community is a cash flow business. Keep in mind, I'm doing all this while playing the tax game and buying assets. I have diversified. You know, I wrote here relatively liquid post-tax. I'm a little bit less liquid now because I've locked some of this stuff into investments. I have another video on that, but I'm not going to talk about that too much here. By the way, This is take-home income, not revenue. All these numbers are take-home income, not revenue. So you can see here the progression from being shy kid that didn't want to be a sales rep to putting that aside and achieving something that I honestly didn't even think was possible. The fact that I, you know, hit this milestone at 26 years old is going to put me ahead a lot in this process. I mean, I don't know if you guys have seen Our community member interview playlist at the end of the video. It's going to be linked in this top corner on this side. And you can see all these people, man. Like, I was doing all this while having impact and helping other people hit significant milestones, like $14,800 last month, $12,000 in a month, $10,000+ months. This dad, $25,000 in a month, $15,000 in a month, $11,500 a month. We got 53 of these interviews. Uh, we're about to have a 54th. I'm shooting for $100,000. But like, dude, if you can consistently make $12,000 in a month, or $10,000 or $8,000, like that changes lives. Earlier when I defined escape velocity, it can mean something different to you. It could mean $100,000 per year if you make $30,000 now. It could mean not driving around all day and spending more time with your kids. In Paul's case here, he was traveling. He was in a corporate sales role. He was traveling for a lot of the year. His health was going down. His relationships were going down. And he started making $10,000 a month from home, hanging out with his kids. Freaking awesome. Or Josh here, who bought a Ford Raptor after joining our community and hitting these milestones. This was month 1, and he also came from roofing sales. If you're in roofing sales, we understand you, man. If you're in solar, those door-to-door blue-collar stuff, we understand you. Noah here came from solar door-to-door. Solar door-to-door, finance, corporate tech. Tech, SDR. He's still in tech. He does both. You see this headline, roofing, oil field. This guy was like in the fricking trenches. Julian was a public speaker. And in this time, not only do we have all these awesome interviews, built social following on all the platforms. This is just one, but you'll see these wins highlights. There's 100 screenshots of people getting hired, getting paid. record months, trophies, changing their lives, and they're all fake. No, I'm just kidding. Why would they be fake? They're not fake. You can go click on them. Go to my Instagram down below, you can find it. Click on these, just tap through. It's just screen— like people post it, I screenshot it, I post it. Also had, you know, at our event, we've had 3 events that basically 2 of them sold out. The first one was small, we didn't know what we were doing. But We have people come in from all over the world. At our last one, we gave out some trophies for 10K, 20K, 30K months for people in our community that hadn't yet received them. You'll see Robbie here. That's Robbie. Burhan, we have an interview but not on here. Davin right here. We actually have 2 interviews. Aaron right here. And I have an interview of Noah right here at the top. I have an interview with almost All of these guys except Brandon and Samil, who's all who's ripped thirty thousand dollar months because he works for a competing sales training. So like we don't want anyone to know. We have an emphasis on jobs. If you know anything about this industry, you know that finding quality jobs and landing those jobs is the hard part. It's not the sales training because I could go into a new tab right now, go to YouTube and find probably thousands of hours of free sales training from the best in the world. The whole premise of inbound. Remote high-ticket sales is you're selling to inbound leads. The sale is not the hard part. Landing the opportunity where you sell to inbound leads is the hard part. We post a shit ton of these jobs. What high-ticket sales was for me and why I decided to do this, it was a launchpad to put my sales ability to the test in a more optimal vehicle. I had the belief in myself. It gave me the space, time, and freedom to breathe and think. When I first got into this, I kind of backed away and did part-time and still made good money, hit that 6-figure run rate. While building a social media presence, like I built up to like 5,000 followers on Twitter, I started having inbound leads coming to me, both businesses and people who wanted to do what I was doing. It allowed me to do things on my own terms as fast or as slow as I wanted to post on social media, start businesses, try businesses. I didn't even write it in here. But in 2023, alongside starting an agency, we started another business, we closed $120K in like 2 months, Refunded it all. We went on to do service delivery. This was like a done-for-you kind of content business, collected $120K in literally like a couple months. If it wasn't a month, it was 2 months. Tried to deliver the service for a few months and then decided we were not getting the results that we wanted to, and we refunded the clients in full. And I lost probably about $40 grand on that. The refund we did in 2024, but we signed clients 2023. So that's like A blemish on the record. You don't even see that in all this, but like we're taking swings. Definitely in this part too, I'm investing in like crypto and meme coins. Literally nothing turned into anything good because I didn't do anything serious, but I just lost money on those. I got to do things on my own terms, allowed me to learn and get paid to explore my general interest in online business. Not a lot of people talk about this, but the high-ticket remote setting or closing thing, you are so close to these people who are running these online businesses. Marketing, sales, fulfillment. That's it. And as sales, you touch both the marketing, you touch the fulfillment, and you learn it. All you have to do is learn social media. And I mean, that's why you see a lot of salespeople start sales training programs, because they get really good at selling and they're like, if I can just go viral on Instagram, I can make a lot of money, which is true. But there's also something nice about taking calls for somebody else's business and not having to worry about any of that. You can do whatever you want. I'm just showing you what I did. I'm telling you what other people do and how this like 1099 remote sales vehicle is the gateway to do what you want to do, not what I want you to do or someone else wants you to do. It's not all about making the most amount of money possible no matter what. I know people like that. They're not very enjoyable to be around. I did this so that I could do what the hell I want and hang out with my friends. and drive a fun car and train for a sub-3-hour marathon and try to be in the best shape of my life and hang out with my fiancée and go on trips. That's what I did it for. This allowed me to meet awesome people that become crucial to my success, whether it's in my agency, my business. Like example, because of sales, I just signed in an equity partner who's actually someone that I met through my community. Like he joined back in 2022 when I started. He actually ended up being on our sales team in the community for almost a year. And now he's an equity partner in this because I got to know him as a competent dude that I liked working with that could pull his own weight. And then this also allowed me to play in a larger arena with bigger competitors. Again, I wasn't strangled locally to some geographic region where, you know, I'm kind of waiting for a hailstorm or something like that. There's people in this industry that are making hundreds of millions of dollars selling information and services online. And so it's just a Bigger, more accessible market. This is what high-ticket sales was for me, man. It was a step towards the direction that I knew I wanted to go, playing the tax game. And by the way, you guys, if you can play the tax game and you can keep, you know, 20% more of the money that you make, and not only just keep it, but put it into investments and then forget about it, and then do that the next year, and then do that the next year, it compounds like crazy. Like, and if you keep doing it, like, you guys don't understand, if you're paying like max amount of taxes, It is so, so, so hard to get ahead. Time value of money, man. You need this money working for you soon, fast, especially with inflation. Put it in something that's going to appreciate as the dollar inflates because it's not doing much in your bank account. So I told you what this was for me, what it can be for you. I mean, it could be exactly the same or it can be different. We've had people that join my community, actually a lot of these people, man, I've worked with them in some regard. And now they sell their own sales training thing and like, good for them, dude. I don't really care. Like, there's enough to go around. If you're watching this and you're in our community, go do it. I will kick you out, but that's fine. You can do it. You can play the chill game, the chill, long-term brand-oriented wealth-building game, the game that I'm playing, or you can be these people and go work in Tulum or go work in Bali and make your $10K, your $20K per month. Live on 2 and live like a king and do that for a couple of years and you'll come back in a different position. What I like to emphasize about high-ticket sales is like, it is not the end result. It is the platform to get closer to the end result. Like it is a stepping stone in your journey. If your journey involves freedom, having the financials to do what you want and to make decisions that you want. If you think your journey involves that, I'd like for you to go down to the first link in the description. This is our community page and you will find another long video. On here that explains what we do, how we do it, and why it could be relevant to you. It is beginning of the new year. We've got big goals. We're changing our fulfillment structure. We're always trying to get better. We have everything that you need to get in here, and it's not just some sales training that you can find on YouTube. You can click the first link in the description or watch the linked YouTube video after this. The linked YouTube video after this is going to help you address this, which is if you want to take a serious step, you need to learn how to find and land these opportunities. That is first and foremost. I can go to Jeremy Miner's YouTube channel, Alex from Mosey, Cole Gordon, the GOATs, right? And I can watch hours and hours and hours. I can watch more content than I know what to do with. I'll forget all of it. The hard part about this industry is landing these opportunities. And that's what we focus on. And if you watch the video, let me, let me make sure I've got cameras right. This way. On the bottom, bottom corner, bottom left corner for you. That is going to be why it is hard to land jobs in here and why the best opportunities are typically found in private communities that typically have a paywall because they only want serious people in there. You guys, this is the story of how I built Escape Velocity as high-ticket sales being the lever all the way from when I was back in roofing sales, graduated college, Ended up making $18 an hour and like 3% commission and negotiated. I negotiated here. I played the leverage game here, try to condense the time in which I could make the money so that I could spend more time focusing on other things and learning other skill sets and then getting the money sooner so I could invest it, finding the optimal vehicle and, and figuring out like which is best for me here, nailing high-ticket sales, giving it, giving it a try, and then coming over and getting into a good offer and negotiating up the there and like continuously one step after another, after another. And you're not going to be right the entire time. I told you guys in 2023, I started a business, we closed $120K, $60K profit or not profit, we had expenses, it was supposed to be $60K, 50/50. We refunded all of it and I lost $40K. Directionally, I was okay because I was starting a business with a skill set that I knew, but it just didn't work out. We cut our losses. And we went on to the next thing, which we then scaled the agency, the agency frickin grew. Negotiating, always playing offense, playing offense, guys, you— I mean, you don't even have to be in a nothing-to-lose scenario to play offense. Even if you're playing offense with 20% of what you've got, and the rest of it's defensive, because you have responsibility, you have to be playing offense in some regards of your life, or you're not going to get what you want. You're not going to get what you deserve. Anyways, if you guys are looking for a badass team to join, badass community, not a sales team, community team where we just all help each other win, we post jobs, get together in person. That's what we do, man. And I'd love to have you. So thank you for watching this video. Again, every Thursday, deep dive educational video like this.
