I gotta tell you it is really awesome I remember when I had the illness a few weeks ago and I was just laying on my couch And I was like passed out most of the day and every now and then I'd pick up my phone And I would just see money coming in I would just see money It was really an awesome feeling to have that to know that I've got that set up And I keep looking over here guys because I do have an iPad right here to answer your questions But I can also answer over here. So let me just put something in here. I'll type in here and I can talk it Welcome everybody to the broadcast today all about passive income And that will actually send that message out to Facebook and to YouTube because we're live on Facebook and YouTube no matter where you're at we're live And I want to get right into this when I first started my business. I was selling I mean, I would call them trinkets. Okay little tiny things that really didn't make me much money I had a lot of cool I started off with cell phone cases and I really never made me money on cell phone cases But it taught me how to sell online And then I moved into like camping equipment little gadgets and you know survival tools and stuff like that And what I had done is I started off with my utility room There was a washer and dryer and some extra room in there and a lot of them my boxes of supplies were in there I remember one of my neighbors who helped me with my kids every now and then Barbara Would come over and she'd look at the utility room. She'd see all these boxes stacked up She's like, what are you doing? I mean, what what is going on in here? And I explained to her that was gonna be selling products online and that was my inventory And she kind of laughed and shook her head like oh my god, this is ridiculous well, it did grow it did grow it grew pretty well really and What I did is in my garage I never put my car in my garage for one reason or another But what I did in my garage is I put these racks and these racks went down my garage And I had all my inventory stacked up in these racks in my garage And I bought some cheap racks from my Costco something like that and that way I could go out there I could get the products I'd usually go back to my bedroom, which is a theater into the house And I would package them up in boxes and you know envelopes depending what size it was And this was very time-consuming. I mean, I would I would get in that garage and I would you know Try to pull whatever things I had sold for the day and keep in mind. I wasn't making a lot of money I was making maybe two or three hundred bucks a month at that time Profit, you know, I was probably selling a thousand or two thousand dollars So it wasn't a lot of money, but I knew somewhere in the back of my mind. I needed to keep doing this I knew somewhere in the back of my mind that this thing could grow into something much much bigger and it did over the years it actually did over the years, but That's where I kept all my inventory and then I brought that stuff back to my bedroom I put in envelopes and I would print out stickers and you know shipping labels and all that stuff and I would enter in you know my tracking numbers and all that online and that's pretty much how I ran my business but Understand this took hours every night out of my life hours and hours of my time every night So I was I was extremely busy As the years went on I moved more and more into survival food. I started off with a 650 square foot warehouse I had I guess you'd call it an office the front of the warehouse was probably about 12 feet wide and maybe about Seven or eight feet deep And I had a desk on one side and my wife had a desk on the other at the time she was my girlfriend and we were engaged And then behind that there was a door and the door went to the rest of the warehouse It was just an open area and I brought those racks from my house. I put those in there and Was selling out of that, you know warehouse and that's that's what I did I shipped stuff out of there and that eventually got too small So I found another warehouse and it was around I think it was around 2000 square feet It had a much bigger office area So matter of fact, we put three desks in there at that time It was myself my wife and my daughter who had come to work for us She just graduated college and figured out that college degrees don't mean that you get paid a lot of money But you get out of college So she came to work for me and then we had a pretty big warehouse in there I mean to me it was 2000 square feet including the office And we had some big racks in there. I mean ones that were way over our head type racks So I actually got a forklift And I had a warehouse person that to warehouse people actually at the time And their job was to you know when the pallets came in they you know, they took the forklift or they stacked it up on these big pallets They organized everything all the little trinkets. I was still selling I still sell a lot of camping equipment and stuff like that And we had a long rack along the back of the wall and that's where all that stuff was organized But it was mostly my canned meats and my freeze-dried foods at that time So that's what we did and we had we had that and then we got a contract to Actually make a bunch of freeze-dried food buckets for a big gun dealer in the Midwest And they wanted you know, I don't know probably two hundred thousand dollars was that contract to me That was a lot of money two hundred thousand dollars was a lot of money and we had to have more room So next to that warehouse. There was another thousand square feet of warehouse space and I rented that out temporarily And I had production in there Where I had a bunch of workers and they were taking pouches that you know I had made and the pouches went into these buckets and we put the labels on them and we were making them for this I big gun dealer in the Midwest and So we had that so we were up to three thousand square feet and You know things were going along pretty good and then finally my wife and I decided we wanted we got to California We went to live in the sunshine state. We wanted, you know better weather We didn't really like we lived in the tide water area at the time and the crime was kind of bad and the economy was kind of bad And it just wasn't something that you know, we wanted to deal with anymore So we moved our business out of California now I had I had stars in my eyes at the time I was like, you know, this thing's gonna grow in to millions of dollars and it actually did but I Don't know how it did So I got a warehouse in California. That was twelve thousand five hundred square feet I mean pretty pretty huge for me twelve thousand five hundred square feet It had six bay doors that trucks could pull up to you know, some of them were brown level Some of them were elevated with the truck could just back up and you know, we could drive a forklift into the truck And we had that let me see here First I'm getting chatbot business Running and I also want to get a children book based on cat out For December that sounds very cool. You got some really cool stuff going on tie and you need help Let me know send me some questions or whatever Tyans were working on her businesses and I hope you have two guys as you hear these stories that I'm telling you about it So anyhow, we had this big office the front of this this Warehouse when I got in California. It was in Poway, California had a whole bunch of offices. I had one We had a nice reception area With an area where you know that she could greet people coming in my wife had an office there We had a big section in the middle. It was kind of open Plus we had another office there where I had somebody on sales That was on the phone gentleman that we work for us. Then I had the warehouse people in the back I had a production room where we actually would fill the pouches with all the freeze-dried dehydrated foods And then we could take those pouches and of course sell those we could put them in bucket to do whatever we need to do At that time our sales was dropping at that time our sales was not doing well at that time You know, we had gone from, you know, probably well over a million dollars a year and it started to really back down We were getting kind of concerned because we had this big nut, you know, I had to I had to pay, you know There I think it was thirteen thousand dollars a month to rent the warehouse And then I had all the employees and all that stuff So I was well into twenty-some one thousand dollars a month. I had to spend And things were going down things were not looking good. Okay. It was it was a time where I guess the Kind of fad of survival food was wearing out a little bit. Oh, yeah guys Don't forget to give me a thumbs up if you would I just saw somebody do it If you would click that thumbs up button that would mean a lot to me And this also goes like if you're not if you're not watching this live You're watching a recording of it later on Please please give me a thumbs up, you know, give me some encouragement. Give me some comments I love I love getting those comments in there and those questions and there's a please do that for me So anyhow, the business was going down a little bit and we were a concern And we you know, we really couldn't afford that warehouse anymore. It was it was really being difficult at that time Let's say today going to try to contact Khartra In my domain deal to connect the two again So hard to get someone to just tell me what I need to do or push It you know what if you send them a question usually they're about 24 to 48 hours The lay answer whatever you need and there's also documentation tie in about connecting your website to Khartra So you can just type that in and go to their help desk and you're going to find probably answers to most of those questions So anyhow Warehouse too expensive What wouldn't get the job done anymore? So what I did is I looked for a 3 p.m 3 p.m guys and I want you to learn what a 3 p.m is and I'm going to get into my other businesses And just a second to tell you how I make money off those a 3 p.m Is a third party logistics third party logistics? So they're not part of your company, but they are a segment of your company They do something for your company So what a third party logistics is in our case was a warehouse in the midwest Which was much smarter because see we were in california And if we were shipping to somebody in california didn't cost us much But if we were shipping to somebody on the east coast from california cost us a ton of money So we got a warehouse of 3 p.l in the midwest And what we did is we shipped all of our products to that warehouse. Okay, so they they charged us when those products came in They charged us when those things were sitting there and then they would charge us when we they shipped them out But outside of that there was no cost to the warehouse. I didn't have employee cost I didn't have utility cost anymore. I didn't have all these costs associated with having a huge warehouse like I did in california You get sicker quick So now We had the ability to manufacture at our manufacturing plant Our products and then send them out to that warehouse And then they could actually ship out the product So what that did is that freed me up from having a warehouse person It freed me up from because I was going back to the warehouse too And I was putting stuff in boxes and putting labels on it and doing all that And it freed me up from all that. I didn't have to do that anymore I had the added cost Of somebody else doing it, but it was pretty low It didn't cost me that much you know five or six dollars for each order You know a case of meter something like that, which was not much money and keep in mind I didn't have to pay that fee, right? Um unless I shipped something out now there was minimums. I will tell you that You know you had to have about a two or three thousand dollars excuse me a month minimum cost Which I didn't mind so much because the warehouse cost me 20 some thousand dollars So it was it was a huge decrease in what I had to pay every single month Um, so that worked out pretty well. And then what I did Is I got into doing some digital products, you know people were saying to me Hey, we would we want to know how to sell products online. Could you put together something? And then I put together my first course, which was digital cash academy And you'll find links to digital cash academy and a lot of my stuff in the bottom of my videos I think it's on this video too, but if not send me a message. I'll give you a link to it in digital cash academy actually Show people how to set up a drop shipping business And then people wanted to know how to use Shopify and I'm like, uh So I did another course on Shopify and I called an e-com road That would actually show people how to set up a Shopify store walk them through all the steps um And then I did some training that was live In san diego every week. I was every week or two weeks. I was doing a training Through meetup where people would come in and I would teach them, you know, how to market online It was like chiropractors. It was plumbers It was all kinds of different business owners in town They went to market online We've come to this meetup that I had and I taught them how to actually sell online so that they could market online, which was pretty cool Now let's see Diane says, yes, I have checked all that out But my domain thing all looks different than what cartridge describes Yeah, it's not that difficult to do Um, but you know if you have problems, let me know tian You know, if you have some specific questions or something. I'll be happy to help you out Jessica does that all the time they call her the cartridge queen Because she can set up anything in cartridge. I love cartridges amazing And not to mention yesterday I'm not going to get off subject. Don't worry But not to mention yesterday I got a payment from cartridge because I've turned enough people on the cartridge where every month I get payments Because they're paying cartridge and I get a percentage of that which is pretty nice I mean, it's not a huge amount of money, but it's extra money. So yeah, I love cartridge. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love cartridge so anyhow I now had these other courses now these courses people could actually go online And they could purchase the course It would automatically enroll them in the course. It would send them all their login details It would send them their passwords all that good stuff And they had access to the course and it was nothing for me to put in a box Nothing for me to put in a box. Okay, uh, but I did have the warehouse the warehouse setup Now we we eventually moved to a better and better and better warehouse situation To where now everything's automated. So when somebody puts an order in for some of our canned meats or something like that We can just pretty much click a button and send those orders over to the warehouse They print out the labels they box up wherever the product is and they ship it out So now I want to get up to the point where I got sick I got the illness and everybody knows what the illness is Hope you do. Hope, you know, it's been going around the world. It's been kind of popular And I couldn't do anything. I really couldn't do anything You know, all I was doing is pretty much sleeping and sitting on the couch But now I had all these different things and oh, yeah, I want to add I had youtube YouTube right and what I had done on youtube is I usually batch videos So I'll record like 12 videos in a day In this past week, I only I did six one day and six the next I was worn out because that was the First time I had been back doing videos, but I would I would batch 12 videos and I would give them to my editor Who is in the Philippines and we have people in different places in around the world that do different stuff Where's we have people in India and Pakistan and Canada and Mexico and all these different places Linea so he would actually do the edits for him and then he would schedule them online And my schedule online now is monday wednesday and friday So he would schedule a monday wednesday and friday and he had enough videos to where all that period of time when I was sick Videos still kept coming up monday wednesday friday monday wednesday friday because I had sent him enough videos to where that could be done and in doing so YouTube was paying me money too because when my videos go up they actually run ads on my videos And of course you won't see an ad now because we're live But once they're published they run ads on my videos And I get a percentage of that ad revenue and this this morning my Cpm I think was 27 dollars and something which is crazy. It should only be about one to five dollars However, I'm getting I guess it's the audience, you know, I have you guys are high quality And people would have paid to be in front of you and my rpm Which is what the advertisers actually pay was almost $50 it was 49 dollars and some change So I get the 27 dollars and some change and that's per thousand views So I won't get into the math or anything like that, but I make a lot of money off that now It's kind of nice. So I'm laying on the couch And you guys can do the same thing. That's why I'm sharing it with you. There's no reason you can't do the same thing I'm doing. There's no reason. I've taught a lot of people thousands of people over the years And some people will do nothing They just do nothing and then some people will take the information They apply it and make a lot of money. They quit the job. You can do the same thing There's no reason why you can't do what I'm doing. I'm no different than you. I'm a guy I'm a guy keep in mind that Didn't know how to type. I still don't know how to type. I still Had impact with a few fingers. Okay. I'm a guy who didn't even know how to send an email. I mean nothing about technology I didn't grow up with all this stuff. Okay Well, I take I take that back everybody who's alive grew up with this stuff You know, I hear people all the time say well, you know, I grew up in the 50s or 60s or 70s And they didn't have all this so I don't know about technology Well, when did technology come along technology came along in the 80s 90s and 2000s and you were alive then So if you were alive then yes, you did you were exposed to it Okay, you just as he exposed is anybody else. So I hate that excuse that you didn't grow up with it Yes, you did you grew up with it at an older age. You had more opportunity to learn it You already had more life skills Matter of fact, you should be better at it than the young people should because you got exposed to it as an adult Think about that quit using that for an excuse. I hate that excuse. Oh my god You know, I have people who will call our office and like, you know, yeah, I don't know anything about technology So I thought I'd give you a call and they're 50 years old or they're 45 or 60 or whatever it is I'm like, you grew up with it too Stop that stop that thing that you've got in your head that tells yourself You can't do something because you weren't exposed to something as a child It doesn't matter if you were exposed as a child if you're exposed in your 20s 30s 40s 50s Then you were exposed still still still still still don't use that for an excuse So anyhow, you could learn any of this. I didn't have the technology background But let me let me reiterate what I've been talking about. I have an automated warehouse Okay, so when orders come in all we do is send over the orders to the warehouse. They automatically go out I have automated classes. So when people sign up for my classes, they they may be paying me on monthly fee I have some that are 27 dollars a month. I have some that are 47. I have some that are 97 I have some that are 497 dollars a month. So that monthly income just comes in every single month This is it's really really nice. I have Straight sell flat sell whatever you want to call it courses where people will pay 997 dollars And they get access to my course to one time fee, but I get those. Okay I have affiliate sales. So my my products are on click bank. They sell on click bank and people get a percentage I make money off that my products are on share a sale Share a sale is a bunch of affiliates who market my products. They send somebody to my website when somebody buys I pay them a fee so I have all these things All these things that are making me money. So I can literally sit on the couch So they're trying to call me I can literally sit on the couch and do nothing And I have an income. I can literally sit on the couch and do nothing and I have an income I don't want to sit on the couch and do nothing But when I was ill I could do that that afforded me that Is and that was like three weeks three weeks of not really being able to work at all I mean, I couldn't hardly do anything Um, are you in a position where you can do that? Could you take three weeks off and still make thousands of dollars a day? Uh, and if not, why not if not, why not? Why not? Why haven't you done some of these things? Why haven't you listened and applied some of this stuff now some of you have I'm not preaching to those people who have that are already making a ton of money That are your students of mine because there's a lot of those out there listening too But I am preaching to you guys who haven't done anything If you haven't done anything you got to ask yourself why not it's probably because of lack of belief in yourself It's probably because you don't think you could do these things. It's probably because you think I'm special I ain't special man Okay, if you if you if you look at when I got exposed to all this technology stuff It was in my 40s and 50s. Okay. That's when I got exposed to this stuff So if I can figure it out if I can learn you can learn anything I mean you could literally learn anything. It's not that hard to learn something But if you resist it if you put up this wall and say, yeah, I'm from a different generation Or you know, I'm not good at technology. Well, they get good at it You know, if you're not good at something, what can you get good at you can get good at anything you want Anything you want to do anything you put your mind to I don't care if it's learning a language I don't care if it's technology. I don't care if it's marketing online You can learn any of this stuff my channel that you're listening to right now has over 1000 videos That's a milestone, right? I've got over 1000 videos on my channel And guess how much it costs to watch them? They are free. They teach you all this stuff They teach you I do millions and sales a year and I put it into videos and I put it on youtube so that you can just watch it Just watch it. You can you can see exactly what I've done. Okay, why not take that information or grab one of my courses It makes it a little bit more organized, you know, grab one of the ones for 27 bucks a month go Go and join, you know, web cash academy or ecom road one of those courses for 27 bucks I mean, seriously, how much have you spent on your education over the years? You got to ask yourself that question Now some people have spent, you know, a hundred thousand dollars for a college degree and I don't know what they get you I don't I don't know. I've got a college degree. I don't know what it got me I think I think the one thing that college degree did get me Was my ability to finish something it told me that I could finish something I gotta tell you that's pretty helpful If you know that you can finish things you'll tend to start more things If you think you're not going to finish anything you tend to not start a lot of things, okay So it did tell me that so I just want to share with you that story how I could get set I mean really really sick and still make money every single day And I want to express to you and I tried to express this to you yesterday You can too You can too. There's no difference in you and me Stop it with that difference thing. Stop it with that. I didn't have a you know, exposure to this Stop it with that. I didn't have this great product You can do the same things I'm doing you can have an automated passive income where you can go on a cruise or a vacation Which I'm getting ready to do It's still have money coming in you can do that Okay, this this entire house that I'm sitting in right now my office everything was built with money I made online. Okay. I haven't worked for anybody in over a decade going on 12 years I haven't worked with anybody. Okay. I've made my own money online You know how good that feels you know how good that would that feel good to you would that feel good to you or you could
