 Welcome to 8% Club every Friday, four o'clock Central Standard Time and today I am in Tampa, Florida in the middle of a retreat at a 15,404 square foot mega mansion, the third largest home in Tampa. You can see the unbelievable view behind me. The house wraps all the way around the pool. The resort style pool which I've been in, right? Fully clothed for a video already. Hey, you made with us. You missin' out. At 8% Club, I wanna talk about why you should be at 8% Nation and what you can expect to learn at 8% Nation. But I wanna kind of explain why I created this conference because I think that's a good way to set this up so that you are in the know to down 8% Club. I appreciate you joining us. I'm gonna challenge you today to tag one insurance agent that needs to hear this message today. Tag one insurance agent that needs to hear this message. Because what I wanna do, and I want our team to end up picking someone, when you tag an agent, you qualify and enter for a chance to a one-on-one coaching session with me, right? I wanna spend time with you, diving into your business, just like a retreat but one-on-one through video. So tag an agent and you get entered, all right? So, why did I start 8% Nation? I was at 10X Growth Conference II in Las Vegas, 9,000 people. I bought two Premier tickets, okay? I paid $15,000 to go to 10X. I went to Cardone's office, we negotiated for tickets, I left, I committed, it was like 30 days later, I committed, right? About the amount of time you have now before 8% Nation, remember that? And I ended up committing to two Premier tickets, 15K, front row, sat by a lot of the speakers, it was a blast, right? 9,000 people. I left that conference, not only motivated and challenged, right, and excited, but I left with tangible nuggets that I could implement into my business. That's the first thing, nuggets, right? Also, the second thing is, I left not only crazy motivated, but I started thinking way bigger. I don't need to find stuff I can implement in my business, but I started thinking way bigger. So I left there and literally saw a trend up in our business. This was February of 2018, okay? About February of 2018, I believe. And over the next several months, our business grew 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, 6X, and over the last year and a half it's grown a lot, okay? But I left there thinking I need to do something like this for the insurance industry, specific to insurance, specific to insurance agents to help you grow and scale your business. So I left there wanting to do that. So then a few months later, right, I should have acted immediately, but you live and you learn, right? Couple months later, I'm sitting in the pool, Memorial Day weekend, talking to my dad about how the industry needs something like that, right? And we were talking about other conferences that were going on for the industry and how everybody was trying to recruit and how it was more agency specific or product specific or carrier, right? Or you had to be a part of the FMO or IMO or you had to go there and they wanted to recruit you. And I left there thinking I want to do something that's for every one of the insurance industry because 92% of insurance agents fail. That's the reason for 8% Club, that's the reason for 8% Nation, which is literally in, that's crazy, right? We're literally in 30, we're June 21st, Friday, June 21st right now, 35 days away. So I created 8% Nation last year, right? At Nissan Stadium, we had Ray Lewis, Grant Cardona, a ton of speakers and I'm gonna keep bringing this back every single year but here's why you need to be there. Not only am I passionate about helping agents, right? We put out more content than anyone in this industry because I'm passionate about helping you. We ran out 10,000 square foot mansions for a weekend because I'm passionate about helping you, right? We think bigger because I'm passionate about helping you. So not only am I going to be speaking about, I got a couple topics that I'm gonna speak on. I need you to help me choose which one right now, okay? I need your help. I got a couple different keynotes. One is how the mental game, the mental aspect of this business has changed my business and my life, right? And all the crazy stuff I do from cold showers to writing down my goals, to eating eggs in the morning, all this crazy stuff, right? Working out. Also though, the other option is, hey, how you can get more attention to grow your business and your brand, right? So those are a couple of different things that I'm gonna speak on. We're also gonna have several other speakers, okay? Michael Irvin is gonna be speaking on discipline, commitment level. You're gonna leave one to freaking, jump into the end zone, right? Coach Burt's gonna be talking about million dollar follow-up, million dollar producer scaling the six figures. The insurance sub guys are gonna be on stage, Michael McCormick and Taylor Dobby, talking about how they have grew a Facebook group to 26,000 members and how you can be a local celebrity in your community using the tactics and the tools that they have. If you wanna be a local celebrity and get people to refer you business every single day without question, then this events for you. Also John Petz, the emcee. He emcees and speaks at like 50 events a year, right? I think he may be in France the weekend after us just because he's constantly everywhere. My wife's gonna be interviewing Chante, right? My wife does all of our finances, our accounting, our payroll, our employees, our HR, our operations. She's seen everything grow. She's learned a ton and she's gonna share it. But also she's gonna be interviewing Chante McMillan, an Olympic athlete. On all the things, I mean, she's went through injuries, right? She's went through trials and tribulations and tough stuff and she made it to the Olympics and she's gonna talk about how you can make it to the Olympics in the insurance industry, right? Also Landon McArthur, marketing genius and expert is gonna walk through SEO, Google AdWords, websites, landing pages, all these things, advertising and marketing in 2019 and beyond, live from stage. I'm assuming you wanna be a part of that one, right? Come on. The insurance guys podcast, they just interviewed Gary V recently. Scott Howell, Bradley Flowers, they're gonna be interviewing Sydney Rowe, live podcast, live from stage. Sydney Rowe's a PNC expert from Agency Nation. We heard last year, hey, we want some more PNC, right? So we're doing a lot. Also Brian Askins is not only gonna talk about referrals and networking, but seminar marketing. If growing events and getting in front of people and the power of events, which wow, that's where we do retreats, conferences, free live training events because events are powerful, okay? So not only that, but networking and referrals, how he gets referrals daily and how he'll get, gosh, 250, 300 referrals this year alone in 2019. That's ridiculous. You don't even need leads at that point, right? Justin Brock, Medicare gurus is gonna talk about, and Justin Brock is gonna talk about how he's scaled to millions while selling Medicare. I'm gonna interview him live from stage, right? About Medicare. Charlie Cina, right? How to recruit, train, and retain your best agents. That's important. Evan Stewart, right? From the Obsessed Academy. I'm actually speaking at his conference the day before in Dallas, the Obsessed Conference. He's a seven-figure earner in real estate. He's gonna talk about how real estate and insurance have big similarities when it comes to referrals and referring your audience. All right, Ramiz Akim, Telesales Machines, gonna be talking about rationing responsibilities and why they've had so much success when they give, when they divvy up responsibilities. Eric Fierro is gonna be talking about Medicare training and how important training is to your business and your agents. I'm gonna be training live from stage every single morning.

We're gonna kick off every day about nine o'clock and end about four or 4.30 on Friday and Saturday. Friday, during lunch, if you're in the VIP lounge, I wear a new private speaker Q and A where you're eating lunch in the lounge and you're getting to ask speakers extra private questions that you wouldn't normally get to ask. That's valuable. I'm gonna be taking charge of that and control of that and helping you get your questions answered. Also, women's night, Friday night, VIP party Friday night, Saturday all over again. A lot of amazing speakers. I can't tell you who's speaking which days, right? About nine to four, nine to 4.30, okay? Then if you're monster premier or premier, you're gonna get to meet Michael Irvin. If you're in my success society, we may be having a success society private suite and I may be having a little private mastermind with my success society inner circle members so they can ask Michael Irvin some questions as well. This is all about the experience. I love events and conferences because the networking, the relationships, the referrals, right? It's helped my business and my brand. It makes me think bigger. I leave with tangible things, right? We're probably raining a helicopter tomorrow while we're in Tampa. Nobody knows that yet. Probably so because I think bigger now.
