I hired a guy 3 months ago with no sales experience for his first sales job. He’s 23 years old.
3 reasons I hired him:

1) He has dedication, he works out 6 days a week and over the last year had lost 90 lbs in a healthy way.

2) He’s a good looking guy with good hygiene and good stature.

3) After our first initial meeting I asked him to take us in his vehicle to a project we had going (This is a trick I use to see the inside of someone’s vehicle). The inside of someone’s vehicle clearly reflects on how they live.
Messy car = Messy Life.
His truck was extremely clean and he had everything organized in his truck.

So, after leaving the project he was hired! Now started the training process, which is not easy if you don’t have a clearly defined plan of how to train your people. Before hiring you should always have a clear and concise plan of action as to how you will take them from A to Z within your business.

After three months of being trained by one of my other salesmen he is now on pace to be the top salesman in our company for the month of January. Around $300k of sales projected for the first month of the year by himself!!

I say all this because if someone doesn’t necessarily have the “experience” doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a shot. He’s worked very diligently (just as he works out) to learn how to overcome objections, the product, and how to make deals with potential clients that are healthy and profitable for the business.

Learn how to identify the type of person you need/want working for your business and seek out those individuals. Invest in your people and they will reward you substantially. This young man will make me another $60k per month consistently now and he and I couldn’t be more happy with our working relationship.

@DecadeInvestor He should realistically spend $4999 a month on a car payment! Really put his back against the wall so he can learn how to handle cold plunges and eventually maybe he’ll start an Ecom mentorship!

@LoganHaskett Bro don’t talk shit and not @ me 🤣

[Blade DeSouza @blade_desouza]

@BowTiedBar Where are you located?

[Blade DeSouza @blade_desouza]

@Blind__Luck Start a service based business. Something that will generate a nice active income. Take the earnings and buy rentals. Thank me later.

1) Cash Machine
2) Long term wealth building.

@iamcoriarnold @MasculineMind_ VAs have been life changing for me and my businesses.

@sweatystartup Not your best tweet lol 😂

Being able to communicate in Spanish is so helpful in some of my businesses (construction).

@Alphafox78 That her legs run straight into her back. 🤣

[Blade DeSouza @blade_desouza]

@LoganHaskett @mhp_guy I want winner! 🥇👊🏼⚔️

[Blade DeSouza @blade_desouza]

@mhp_guy The biggest thing I hate is when someone lies to themselves.
“I’m going to start going to the gym”
“I’m going to eat healthy”
The list goes on and on. But people that lie to themselves will lie to you. Period.

[Blade DeSouza @blade_desouza]

@jhadawayfc You should respond and explain to them that they are “unprofessional” for telling you you are “unprofessional”. Really get em going. 😈

[Blade DeSouza @blade_desouza]

Time for sure. Time with loved ones or friends.
Growing from nothing to $1m net worth is extremely hard. You deal with losses of all kinds, including relationships whether that’s through lack of time invested or from the realization of certain people’s character. In the relentless pursuit of entrepreneurship, your most expensive investment is your time.

[Blade DeSouza @blade_desouza]

@chutneylife It all comes down to the numbers. There’s good debt and bad debt. But, with her being a dentist and opening her own practice it sounds like she’s smart and relentless in her pursuit. I’m sure she’ll be just fine. She’ll make her payments and live happily it sounds like.

[Blade DeSouza @blade_desouza]

Not to be-little anyone but this entire message looks like someone who is not prepared to win! They are doing nothing but complaining. Be grateful for what you have and be relentless for what you want to achieve. Don’t cry to other grown ass men about your problems. Not saying you can’t ask for advice but this sounds like a whiny soap box.

[Blade DeSouza @blade_desouza]

Waaaaaaay better opportunities for that much upfront cost.

You could invest in or start these 5 things that would be a better option in my opinion:
1) Real Estate
2) Lawn Care/Tree Business
3) Metal Building Erection Company 😉
4) Used Car Lot
5) Trucking Logistics Brokerage

Although it seems like the golf simulator business has good profit margins, it’s sounding like it’s very hard to scale and by the time it was a nice size profit you’d need 30 simulators with a total startup of around $2.5m.

I’ve scaled a business that I started with $10k that will make me $1m+ this year net. So this is definitely not my cup of tea. Just my opinion. Not financial advice.

@LoganHaskett Bad boys bad boys whatcha gonna do…🎶🎶🎶

[Blade DeSouza @blade_desouza]

@contractorkeith Laying tile for $4.50 an hour at 14. Life was much more simple those days. 😆

[Blade DeSouza @blade_desouza]

@stats_feed I became a millionaire. I was also the kid most in trouble lol

[Blade DeSouza @blade_desouza]

@HeroDividend Don’t invest.
