Success Is A Mom's Duty w/ special guest Anthony Powell
7 Nov 2024 · 33 min
In this episode of the Hannah Keeley Show, host Hannah Keeley interviews entrepreneur and "millionaire maker" Anthony Powell. Powell shares his personal backstory of growing up in a single‑parent household, experiencing financial hardship, and witnessing both his mother’s relentless work ethic and a senior executive’s loss of security. These experiences sparked his drive to escape poverty through entrepreneurship. He recounts his early attempts at business, including a pivotal meeting where he was asked to invest $4,000 to join a health‑product network. With only a few hundred dollars, he raised the money through a garage‑sale‑style hustle and began a sweat‑equity marketing campaign—distributing flyers, pull‑tabs, and pole signs in Seattle rain. Within his first month he earned $2,400, which he reinvested, eventually scaling to $15,000 a month and quitting his day job. Powell emphasizes mindset principles such as "if you want it bad enough, you’ll find a way," the importance of consistency, the "law of the lid" (breaking through personal capacity limits), and aligning financial goals with faith. He discusses how moms can reframe family responsibilities as motivation rather than excuses, the need for self‑care, and the value of teaching children financial literacy and entrepreneurial habits. Practical advice includes becoming a digital closer—learning appointment setting, sales funnels, and remote closing—to generate income from home. Powell also mentions his mentorship background, his connection to Jim Rohn, and provides ways for listeners to follow his Instagram and upcoming YouTube show. The conversation blends motivational storytelling, concrete tactics, and spiritual encouragement aimed at mothers seeking financial freedom.

All right, guys, I know one thing that a lot of moms complain about today is money. It seems like that's a constant area of stress that a lot of us deal with, you know, and some of us feel limited in that capacity. And I get it. Like, I, you know, stay at home, mom, seven kids, you know, I. I get it. There were some really hard times in my life. And so I brought someone on today that is going to not just inspire. Inspire you, but I think it's going to help you take next steps and how to get out of that stress and get into a place of, you know, where God is. God really wants to bless you. So how do we make that happen? So my guest today is Anthony Powell. He's known as the millionaire maker. So who knows? Maybe he's going to make some millionaires today. Affiliate marketing master. And fortunately, he took some time out to share his wisdom with us. So hold on tight, mama. Here we go. You are such. I'm just so excited to have you on the Hannah Keeley show, just sharing your wisdom and expertise and your experience, because a lot of times I'm sure people see you, you know, so successful, and they say, oh, my gosh, it must be so easy for you. So tell us a little bit about your backstory.
Yeah. Well, first of all, thank you for having me here. I'm so excited to be here. And then all you moms that are watching this, I have to tell you that I was raised by a single woman. And, you know, I got to see the struggle, and I witnessed it. I went through it. So I'm a direct result of somebody that understands. I mean, really, I'm very connected to mom. So here's the story. When I was very young, I think I was four or five years old, my mom and dad got divorced. And I got, you know, my mom couldn't afford anything because she was young. I think she was, like, 20. And so I had to go live with my grandparents, her. Her mom and dad for a moment until she got her feet on the ground. And then I came back with her. And, you know, she struggled. And a lot of moms do this, where the odd jobs, you know, you gotta somehow get a roof over your head. She wasn't lucky. I. I don't want to. I'm not a negative person, but my dad would. Didn't pay child support. And she was really a good woman. She never talked negatively to me about my dad. I never spent a lot of time with him. But she was one of those women that understood to Keep everything positive, not to be sour. And your dad is this and your dad is that. She just kept it right down the middle, positive. But she struggled. And I was a tall, young boy. I was at the time I was in sixth grade. I was six foot when I got into high school.
I think we would have gotten along really well because I was like 5:10 in sixth grade. So we would have gotten along perfectly.
You know, the deal. And at freshman year, I was 6 foot 5, so I used to hear her cry in the other bedroom at night because she couldn't keep up with buying shoes for me. My dad wouldn't help. You know, it was a struggle. So one of the things that really got me to understand about money because we didn't have. We had a lot of love. I mean, my grandparents loved me, my mom loved me, my family loved me. We had an overwhelming abundance of love. My grandmother was a deacon in a church. So I got to spend time, you know, packing medicine for the poor, bringing food to the shelters and blankets. And it wasn't just like something to do to look nice. We didn't film anything. We just did it because that's what good people do, and we want to give back to people. So I was raised that way. Give to people, right? Just be a giver. And, you know, I also became a very good athlete in high school, you know, junior high and then high school. I was. Eventually got a college scholarship in a division one as a. As a basketball player. But where I'm going with this is, is when I was in high school, when I didn't have a lot of money, all the rich kids wanted me to come around because I was a quote unquote star athlete, right? So I started to go around their homes and go, wait a minute, you guys are all living in five and 10,000 square foot homes and you're having ski passes given to you for the winter to go skiing, and you have boats to water ski in the summer.
It was a. Probably a moment for you. Like, wait, how do you get this? Like, is this accessible?
I just couldn't believe it. You know, they're all. They all went to, like, Hawaii for spring break. I went to the park.
I get it, I get it.
So I was ra. You know, I got to see what life was like when money wasn't an issue. And then I also felt the struggle from my mom. And, you know, we were raised Presbyterian, but then we went to a Catholic school because we didn't have anything but Catholic schools, which all is great as long as you have faith, right? I don't have any. Whatever you want to do is fantastic. But the point is, she used to work her job during the day and then she'd sweep the floors in the church on the weekends and the evenings just to make sure my tuition was cut in half. Half. And that's what we had to do because if you didn't, you couldn't go to a public school in my city. It was too rough. So, you know, I, as I got going, I went off to university. And to make a long story short, when I got there, I was six' six with shoes on. And the coach said, hey, you're no longer a power forward, you are a guard. And I'm like, well, I don't have any handles. I'm a power forward, I'm a turnaround. I'm going to power you to the hole and get the basket. He's like, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to register you. I'm like, oh man, that means I'm going to be sitting on the bench basically.
Oh man, I, I could have never played guard. I was, I was always center. I, I could have, I don't know, I could have never played guard.
Yeah, it was devastating. But then it was exactly what I needed. I transferred to a small school, started and blah, blah, blah. Well, at that time I started to look into entrepreneurship and I started to intern at a large pharmaceutical company. And out of 10,000 students that were applying, they narrowed it down to 10. And you know, it was a big moment in my life because I got chosen and it was a 10 year entrepreneurship as long as you completed university where they would move you around the world and teach you all the different divisions of the pharmaceutical world. And one of the nights that I was, was in there because they made you work in distribution at night and then you would do office stuff during the day. And I could remember one night, clearly this gentleman's name was Dick Pool. I was going, this is years and years and you don't want to date myself here. But it was a long time ago. I went in the office, I heard a full grown man crying. And I remember, you know, like any human, you want to rush to their safety. And you're like, you run in, you're like, hey, this is the number two guy in the world in the company. So think of it like number two in the world or they were in 80 countries. He was number two in the company. And I heard this guy crying. I went in, I said, whoa, Dick, are you okay? And he looked up, he put his head up and he said, well, after being here, I worked here after school, in high school, all the way through college. I didn't, I gave up my holidays and my birthdays and my. Everything, vacations to get where I'm at today and have this quality of life for my family. And, and today they let me go before I retire. He goes, I'm going to lose that. I'm going to lose everything. And I can't even work two jobs to earn what I earn here now. He was in his late 50s, so he was approaching retirement in the next 10 years, you know, maybe 12.
Yeah, yeah. And you're thinking, you're sad, you're thinking like, you're good. Pay the price for this.
Yeah. So between my mom crying and experiencing that, and then here I'm going to this and experiencing that. I drove home that night, had no idea. Now the, the basketball fundamentals was laying my foundation. Work hard, follow through and discipline, things like that. But that night I, I was driving home, I had this little quote come to my head and I said, if it's got to be, it's up to me. And I didn't understand that. I didn't know what to do. I had about $150 to my name, but I knew that I had to figure out entrepreneurship. And I just, I didn't know what to do. I didn't know where to go, but I knew that that was the answer. And I was willing to take that hardship in order to, you know, the bottom line is this. The pain of being broke was so great that the work that I had to do was nothing.
You know that's right, man. I know it. I know it. When you have, we have seven kids, you have to explain why the lights have been turned off. Yeah, yeah, I get it, I get it.
Yeah, I've been there. Lights off, eating out of the tuna can.
Oh, dude, dude, we're talking like chewy macaroni and cheese. Because the, because the power gets turned off before the noodles are done cooking. Like. And I remember with, with my seven kids and having this continual problem financially, it's like the exact same thing happened to me. I was actually praying for my husband to get a, to get a better job. And I heard God clearly say, you know what, what if I want to do it through you? Yeah, it's like that same thing. If it's, if it's going to be, it's up to me, because God gives us power to do that. So, so what did this look like? For you. Like, here you are, you get this, download this, quote comms. And you're like, all right, what, what does this look like?
Well, it's kind of like here I am in university with a scholarship, here I am in an internship. So I have two positives, right?
Yeah.
But then I'm going, wait a minute, this is too risky. If I'm going to risk something, I'm going to have to do it myself. So I started to look everywhere, went to every entrepreneur expo there was. Everything was 50, 100, 200,000 to start. And I was just like, gosh, what do I need to do? And so one day a friend called me and he said, hey, I've been doing this business, it's a home based business and I want you to come take a look at it. And I felt kind of like it was fishy. And he said, look, one or two things is going to happen. A, you're going to come see it and love it and we're going to work together, make money, or B, you're not going to see what I see and no problem, I'll never talk about it again. I said, all right, fair enough. So I went. This is like a year into looking into this. I'm still in the entrance. You know, the internship program, the basketball, the whole thing. I had like full time job, like two full time jobs, full time university, basketball. I was stretched. But I had to start looking. And I went to this meeting, it was in downtown Seattle. That's where I was born and raised. And it was really weird. I walked in and there's like 800 people screaming and clapping on chairs. I was like, dude, walk into church. Well, I wish I would have walked into church. That would have been justified.
Pretty cool when your business is like church.
So I'm like, I think I'm gonna leave to my friend said, no, just stay here. Just please. So I, all of a sudden I started noticing people walking across the stage with unbelievable health results. And then I started noticing later in the day, people started walking across the stage with these outrageous income. How could these people be making this kind of money? And so, you know, basically it got me. I was, I was in. Because I'm a people person and I love to help people. So if I'm not, if I don't have something that's going to actually help people, I just don't want to be involved. It's not just about the money with me, it's about helping people. So, you know, I got involved. And then of course, after it was Done. The gentleman came up and said. I said, all right, I'm in. What do I need to do? And he says, well, it's $4,000. And I'm like, I don't have 4,000. And I also only have a hundred dollars to my name. I have no credit cards. I have nothing. He said something that changed my life. And he said, listen, here's what I know. If you want something bad enough in your life, you're going to find a way. Otherwise, you're going to find an excuse. And that again resonated with. He goes, listen, our mentalities are set by what you've learned since you have made a decision to become financially literate. Everyone did the best they could to raise you. Everyone loved you. Everyone did everything. But their financial literacy was not what was instilling installed in your brain. You've got to educate yourself and re. Educate yourself on how to become financially literate. So go find the 4000. Let's go to the next step. And he had already made. He came from government subsidized housing in Palm Springs, and he had, you know, made over $100 million. So he already had the story. And so I just drove home. I did exactly what he said. I had everything. You can imagine. I had a garage sale. I did everything. I found the money. I just wanted to change. And it's that saying, when you want. When you do want things bad enough, you're going to find a way. And I did find a way. And then when these products showed up, they were all these nutritional products. I was. I called them. I said, what is this? I said, there's like eight boxes, huge boxes on my doorstep here. He said, channel your fear into action. Stop focusing on what you're going to do, what. What it is, and focus on the action that it takes to move the products. You're focused on where you came from, and that's fear. You're not focused on taking action. It's time to change how you think. So I did that. I said, all right, teach me, please. So he taught me what to do. And because I didn't have money, I had to do sweat equity advertising. So I did basically 2000 car flyers a day in the rain in Seattle. I'd put pull tabs up in apartment complexes. I put a hundred a night up. And then I also hung signs on telephone poles and did about 300 of those a night. I did that seven days a week, doing everything that I was doing. And, you know, other people can afford advertising and all that. I just didn't have the money. Yeah, yeah, I just got all these products, right.
I gotta do something.
So the, the long. I'll speed it up here. Long story short, I sold all that, did about 5,000 in business part time my first month, and put about $2400 in my pocket. And that's when I got another phone call from my mentor. And he said, hey, I already know what you're thinking. You're looking at the $2,400 as a typical middle class person and you're thinking, spending. The only thing you need to do with that money is reinvest it in your advertising and you need to grow your business and stay at your job. It's going to be tough, it's going to be a bumpy road, but you just have to stay with it. And so I did that every month. My business continued to increase. I started to put more and more back into advertising. And to make a long story short, I didn't even touch my money for about a year and a half and I got it all the way up to about 15,000amonth. A year and a half in, I actually had a firing my boss party that was kind of fun. I got everyone together at lunch and I said, hey guys, you're probably wondering why we're all here. And I said, jack, you're fired. He's like, what? I said, yeah, remember, you guys all made fun of me in this little cottage business that you thought was stupid and would never work. Well, here's what I'm generating per month. And so, Jack, you're fired. And I just stayed the same way. I took that concept. I don't know if anyone here knows what Jim. Who Jim Rohn is.
Oh, man, I hope if no one doesn't, they haven't been with me long enough.
Well, I had the good fortune of being with Jim Rohn and we traveled 70 countries around the world together. And thank God I had him when I was in my early 20s, because how he is on the tapes and the videos and the audios is exactly how he is off of them.
Wow, that's integrity.
Oh, he was. Because I've trained with probably 95% of the people out there and unfortunately, I don't want to sell anybody out. They're not who they say they are behind the screen.
I know, I know, right? It's like, whoa, what, what shifted here?
It's disappointing.
It is very disappointing when, when you, you know, they say never meet your heroes, but I think there's, there are people out there, though. There are People out there. And I think if you're going to get sustainable results, you're going to have to be in public who you are in private and private who you are in public. Like, there can't be a break there.
Yeah.
I mean, that' you continue to get results. I. I just believe and. And, you know, Bible tells us, like, your works will always find you out. It will always find you out. Yeah. So why not live transparently now?
Yeah. Jim Ro would always say integrity is not in public. Integrity is when no one's watching, man.
Yeah. Yeah. Right. Absolutely.
Off the light. When you leave the hotel room, leave it better than how you found it.
You know, just I'm the person who's, like, stacking their dirty towels to make it easier for them.
Me too. It's like I have it all put together for the lad.
Yes. It's like the beds even, like, strip make it. That's so funny. That is hilarious. I've ever met a person who takes it to that level. But it's true. Like. Like how you do anything is how you do everything, how you show up every day. And I would remember that as a mom, especially, like, I want my kids to see who I am all the time so that they know their mom has integrity, that their mom truly does operate with love and compassion. And they're going to have the model that they're not going to be shifting who they are in public as. As who they are in private.
What I find with moms, because moms have a huge fulfillment. They have. They have to fulfill many shoes and in entrepreneurship. And moms, listen to me here for a second, okay? Because this is what happens. I will see a lot of times moms will say, hey, I'm out. My kids are everything to me. I just can't put forth the effort. And one day, a woman who was in my organization was talking to moms, and her name was Jennifer. And she said, moms, here's what you have to understand. When you tuck your kids in at night, you can't say you're my excuse why I can't do this. You got to say, this is the reason why I am doing this. Because you will have a little bit less time with your kids when you're building, building mode. But you're doing it for a reason. You're doing it to lay a foundation so that you can have a better quality of life. Because in the Bible, it does say you do need to live abundantly. Diamonds are not for Satan's bunch.
Right.
So it doesn't Mean, you know, people say, oh, what do you say about money? Money is what you should have. We're not bartering goats anymore.
Right, right. It's, it's included. Like, it's an all inclusive thing. Abundance is all inclusive.
You have to live abundantly in all areas of your life.
All areas. It should not be like joy. In my life, I have spiritual peace. I have joy, great relationships, but I'm broke financially. No, no, God. God's enough to cover all of it.
Yeah. And don't use it as a crutch. I don't know how, because I was, I've been raised Christian since I've been able to talk. Right.
So, yeah.
But I haven't been raised in, around Christians that you say, oh, money's bad. I've never heard that, but there are some Christians that were raised, money's bad. And I wish that would have never been told to you because money gives you more of an opportunity to serve. Right. Because when you don't have money, yes, you can give your sweat equity into people and that is enough. But you do need money in order to one, to protect your family, protect your community, protect people around you. So, you know, in the hardship, to go after it, to get it, you become somebody different.
Yeah.
Communication skills, you get better patience. Your, your individual personal constitution changes. A lot of things happen when you go after building a financial wall around yourself. And that's kind of what happened to me. You know, it's like watching my mom cry and then watching that gentleman lose his job. I was like, that's it. If I'm going to fail, I'm going to fail in my own efforts.
Right, Right. I'm going and bet on yourself. Like, you have to bet on yourself. And I will tell you, like, all my seven kids are all grown now. They have kids.
Believe it's seven kids. Oh, you look incredible.
Thank you, thank you. But they will tell me. They will tell me, Mom. I remember the late nights. I remember you working on the computer, trying to figure things out. I remember things being frustrating for you, but you kept at it. And so my kids know is perseverance because they saw it in me, because they, they saw that it was financially hard, but I was going to dig in. And I was like, all right, if God wants me to be wealthy and he does, I'm going to figure this out. And I did, you know, and so when you bet on you, we're like, you know what? I, I'm smart enough. I, I'm worthy enough. I'm, I'm Capable enough. I can do this. It teaches your kids something different. They. Because I truly believe whatever we do not terminate, we replicate. If we don't stop it with us, whatever that, you know, that, that maybe you have scarcity mentality. Maybe there's like this, you know, unworthiness in you. If you we don't stop it, it's going to extend and get into our children.
It does. And I've had the good fortune of helping raise my girlfriend's son. He had no father, you know, not even a father on the birth certificate. And I've had him for four years. Just the follow through on him. It's mind blowing how quickly kids will adapt. Like, he has to do a Jim Roan, he has to watch Jim Rohn videos every day. And then he's on Friday, he's got to do a one page summary on what he's learned and then present it to me out loud.
Love it. And homeschooling.
He, he's upstairs over here right now. Homeschooling.
That's awesome. Yes.
Because I don't want his brain to be tainted. I want him to get good. I don't want him to think Instagram's normal. That's not normal. No, no, the things they're learning on there is, is getting wacko. Thinking is normal, it's just not so. I mean, he can be the judge of his own life later on, but I want to lay the foundation with him because all kids, they'll, they're imprint. They will, they're imprinted. They do what they're told. I mean, they think Santa's real for years, right? Yeah, they're. They're such sensitive little brains that they will, they just are sponges, like I noticed with when I'm on the phone during the day over here. And I'll be making sales calls or whatever. Before you know it, he'll start doing sales calls and pitching me at night about how to be a digital entrepreneur. I'm like, how did you get that down so good? He goes, I've been listening.
It's like their brain is more plastic and, and, but we could do that too. Like we can learn new things.
That's the point. And the thing is, I'll tell you one thing, if I can help anybody here, a lot of you guys are worried what people think. Here's really what I found because I've had the worst. The worst. And I've been able to thank God, you know, hit the highest levels of financial security. I've had everything you could imagine. Okay. And, and when you get, when you're on the, when you're on the side where you don't have anything, you're like, oh, I wish I had that car. I wish I had that home, or I wish I could eat in that restaurant. But then when you get to the other side and you can do all of that, it really is nothing. What really it comes down to is when you can be alone with yourself and have peace, when you can say, I'm enough, I have everything I need and I'm okay with me. And nothing else is going to deter me, how I feel about me. When you look in the mirror and that's enough, you will be successful. Because a lot of us are looking for other people's approval. Or what if, you know, what if this person thinks this way about me? Or what about that? And none of that matters. You got to have your relationship with God. You got to look in the mirror. Jim Rome would always say some funny things like take off your clothes and jump up and down and whatever is not supposed to be shaking, lose it. Right. Because your body is your temple, right?
Yes. Yes.
And if you don't take care of the most important thing called you, dude, that's the work. I mean, they give you that same drill on the airplane, right? Put the bag on yourself first before you help someone next. Why? Because you're gonna croak if they don't. You can't help them if you're dead.
But it's so counterintuitive for moms because our brain is geared to making sure our kids are okay. And that's why self care. And that's why our brain is so self sacrificial. Yeah, but that's what I, I had to get around that because it was like, no, I'm actually doing this for them. I'm actually, you know, working this for them. I'm learning this for them. I'm, you know, getting out, exercising for them. I'm taking care of my body for them. Because the mom brain will naturally not do that. You know, we operate in survival mode a lot. So I had to put my kids as a reason, like instead of the excuse.
The reason why.
Yeah, the reason why. Absolutely.
You're not a reason why not. You're a reason why. Yeah, and you got it. You got to let that sink in. Because the reason why, the reason why you're in my excuse is what everyone thinks. And you got to take it from that to you're my reason why I'm doing this, because you are Going to have a lot of doubt when you're an entrepreneur. And what happens is, as an entrepreneur, you work a lot in the beginning and you make a little.
Yeah.
And it's like a facade. You're looking out there going, is it ever going to happen?
Yeah.
And then if you just got to keep going. The dev. The rule is you got to create first consistency in whatever you're doing. Consistency creates momentum, and then you've got to learn how to further your momentum. And that's the trick of life, right? That's. That's how business works. And everybody quits in this little bell curve. It's consistent, consistent, consistent. Right here is where it hits. They quit right here. They don't see it's about to hit.
Right before you strike gold, like, oh, I tried.
It didn't work. Well, that's not the case.
Yeah. Yeah. That is so true. Because we. And it's discouragement.
It is.
You know, it really is. And it's. It's really a process of committing to. This is not going to be a. I'm not trying this. I always do. You know, the whole Yoda. There is no try. You do or do not. You know, like, no, we're not trying to say you don't try to be a mom. You show up every day and you're consistent, and you just show up that day. So when we do the same thing with entrepreneurship, building a business, building a ministry, building impact, whatever it is, you know, that. That you feel that calling. It's a commitment to. No, I'm just doing this. I'm not even entertaining. I burned the ships. I'm not negotiating with my past self. I'm just moving forward. And so hard for a lot of moms. But I just. Just hearing your words is so much encouragement that it has to happen. As long as we don't give up, it has to happen. I mean, that's. That's. Maybe that's delusional for me, but I just believe as long as I don't quit, there's no such thing as failure. Because you got to get rid of.
Some of the words that are in your subconscious mind. Like, they're. They're like transitional words to an excuse. Like, but. But is a transitional word to an excuse. Or one of the words Jim Rohn used to always say is try. Try is the battle cry of a failure. You either are going to do it or you're not. It's okay if you're not. But don't say try. You're either all in or you're all out. Just tell us, tell us where you stand. And you know, you got to get rid of can't stop and don't. I know this is one thing Jim Rohn used to give lectures on with, with parents. When you have a can't stop and don't constantly embed it into your children. They're fear based and you got to learn how to reprimand without can't stop and don't try and, but, and it's, it's work because it's, you know, it's so easy. Like it's a trigger. You say it, but you have words or triggers and commands that we have to put on ourselves and then has it helps us communicate. You know, anything you got to do consistently to get to make it happen. Like if we overeat consistently, we're going to get fat. If we have a calorie deficiency over time we're going to get skinny. I mean we know what to do, but it's. Are we going to do it? You know, it goes with business, it goes with going to the gym. It goes with everything. It's the same everything.
It's just comes down to consistency.
It really does. It sounds cliche because I used to get so upset. You'd pay money to go to a seminar and you sit there and they're like, oh, here they go again. You gotta think positive and you gotta be consistent. Here we go.
But it truly works. And I know that there are periods when, when you're just. You want to give up and you get discouraged. But I always believe that those people periods when those dry seasons like it has. No, it didn't, it wasn't like this for me. It's like this, I mean just with everything, you know. And so when we are in those valleys, when we are in those dry seasons, I truly believe that this is building in me what is necessary to go to a level I've never been at before.
That's right. Well if, if it's easy, it has no value.
Right? Right.
If it's hard, that's what the value is. And the reason why that is, is it's called the law of lid. You, you when you're, you have a capacity and when you're going in life and when you reach your capacity, you've hit the lid. So your job is to understand that and see that and you got to break through the lid so you go on to the next chapter of your life. That's why it's hard because you don't have the skill set for that yet. Like, when I first started, I couldn't be a millionaire. I had no idea what they even had to be a thousandaire meant. But then as you do the work and you have your trials and tribulations, and you have your victories and you have your losses, and you. And you go through that, you start getting this skill set that even if I lost everything, I know exactly what to do to get it back. It's because of the work you did to get through those levels.
Yeah.
And that's what I spend time now, what I do training people is in all of those levels. Because it's so rewarding to see someone start with nothing and then go through that first wall. They're like, oh, my gosh, I'm hitting this wall. What do I do? And you're like, you just got to keep pushing forward. Well, no one buys anything. Yeah, well, let's record yourself and listen to where you're off, because you got complacent. You know, it's just the same things that I had to go through. You just got to point them out, you know, so it's the same rules, and I'm listening to you going, wow, it's like we're cut from the same cloth entrepreneurs. It's the same things that we think about, come about, you know, And I.
Truly think a moment where we're built with this entrepreneurial heart and maybe growing a business, but it's growing a family. And I think a family is a business. It's an empire. It's a. You know, it's a dynasty. And so we have to operate by these same laws, and we have to understand I'm always getting to the next version of myself. And if I can just continue, just daily show up strong, yeah, I. I can do this. I'm building this. Because none of us know what to do when we take that kid home. We're like, well, okay, I'm confused. You're confused. I'll. I don't know. Like, I remember when. When I had my first child and I saw my mom, she stayed with me for about a week, and she drove away from our little, tiny, tiny apartment in the hood. And it was in the hood. I just remember looking at her saying, okay, girl, it's me and you. I don't know what we're doing, but we're gonna figure this out together. But it's not like I'm always going to work on myself. I'm always going to be moving toward a goal. So I love that. I love your words. I love what you're doing. How can people get more of you? Because now they're all psyched up. Now we're like fired up. Anthony, how can we get more of you?
Well, you can get to my Instagram by Anthony Powell. And the number one, you can check me out. They have a link in the bio. I really highly believe if you're going to be in business for yourself, you need to be a digital closer, which means you market and promote other people's products and you get a commission off of their traffic. Once you learn how to set appointments and then close people's business, now you've got the skill set to go out and start your own. A lot of people do it the other way around. They start a business first and then they got to learn all these things. They're like, I can't even close a deal yet. What am I doing?
Wow.
Yes, you have to have sales funnels. Yes, you have to have traffic and all of that. But if you can learn the fundamentals of setting appointments digitally, online, like everyone I have in my organization, all my closers and setters, they all work from home. They work by a cabana, by a pool. They work in a restaurant, a coffee shop, a nursery, everywhere. Okay? So I highly recommend you look into it. Whether it's with me or somebody else, it doesn't matter to me. I just matter that you get yourself educated on how to be a setter, closer from home or wherever you have an Internet connection. So you can see me there. Anthony Powell, number one. We're both English and Spanish, so if there's Spanish moms here, we can help you too. But I primarily work on. I'm not really here to. I mean, I have a business that's doing extremely well. But my focal point is if I can get you to trust me and the message that I give you and the message you're going to hear, what you kind of heard about here today, then we can build a relationship on how taking you to the next step in business. Because people buy people, they don't buy products.
Yeah.
If you buy into my message, which I really feel will serve you, you know, if you have the faith like I know you do in God, you just take that same faith in yourself into the business world and realize sometimes you don't know why, but you just got to have faith. Right? So, you know, and I also have a YouTube show starting. I was on the road for 18 years, going to 90 countries. So after about 18 years, I took about a four year break. I did about 2 billion in sales, and I got a little tired. So that four years off.
Just a little. Just a little.
And now I'm back. So I'm back with refreshed, and I'm back here to serve, and it's been very rewarding. So that's what I'm doing now is teaching people how to really educate themselves by being digital closers.
Beautiful. I love it. Anthony. Thank you so much for this, guys. Lean into this. He's giving you gold here. He's dropping some powerful, powerful tools. So take this. Let's go to the next level, because I know you're going to be blessed like crazy.
Thank you.
