Video Transcription:
Oh, man.
You’re going to come up here, you’re going to say, all right, I guess I’m going first.
All right, awesome.
Thank you so much, Joe and Denise, for allowing us to be here.
This is an awesome opportunity.
And you guys got a kick ass hierarchy.
Give your hierarchy a round of applause, right? I mean, sometimes we think, like, the grass is greener on the other side, but it’s actually greener where you plant it, right? And I’ve heard that many times.
I hear a lot of people, they complain about the hierarchy they in or the base shop they in or if this person would do or this thing would do.
But you are part of that base shop.
So whatever you want in that base shop to happen, put the mirror in front of yourself like you are that ticker.
Nothing will happen unless you make it happen, right? And I heard some leaders speak a little bit about that.
But before I get into a little bit about what I’m going to speak about, I wanted to talk a little bit about my story because a lot of people don’t know my story.
I’m a partner, but a lot of times they hear Fritz’s story because I’m the partner and he’s a lead agent.
But a little bit about how I grew up.
So I grew up in a family that was low to middle income family.
So some of the people in my family was like nurses, and some people in my family was like living in a project.
You get what I’m saying? So my grandma was like a nurse, but then my mom grew up in this family where I created my own name for them.
Anybody ever heard of the name called Bougie Broke? Yeah.
That’s the family I grew up in.
A lot of know a lot of flashy, but no cashy.
I heard somebody say that right on the outside.
They drove BMWs and they slipped great poupon with their pinky, but nothing in their bank account, right? So my mom somehow, some way, I think she was trying to find love in all the wrong places, but met my dad and then they struggled and she lived a hard life with that.
She’s still living, thank God, but she lived a hard life with that, right? So we grew up in the projects like her kids.
We grew up in the projects.
We was like the people to point at the show like you’ll never be nothing in life type people in the family.
These are the grandkids that live in the projects.
And I was one of those grandkids.
But I’m a middle child, and I think when you’re a middle child, anybody here like a middle child? I think we have a special role if you’re a middle child, and that is to do absolutely nothing.
And the reason why I say that is because you have a lot of times no feelings towards anything middle children, you’re very indifferent in your feelings, and you just see all the problems in a family because nobody ever talks to you.
And the reason why is because I had an older sister, right? And she was always getting in trouble.
So if you are troublemaker, where do the parents attention go? To the trouble, right? And then I had a younger brother who was always sick.
Like, he was in and out the hospital.
He had, like, respiratory problems.
So where did the other tension go? To the sick child.
So if it was the minister society or the sick child, I fell somewhere in between.
Hi, honey.
I’m glad you’re still living.
See you later.
So you kind of, like, attach on and try to kind of make it happen in your own way, and you figure things out.
So if you’re a middle child, man, big up to the middle kids, you figure it out, right? So I grew up in that family.
What I did wanted to do was I knew that I wanted to get out the family.
Anybody in here want to get out their family? All right, so college was my outlet.
I’m like, yeah, I’m going to go there.
That’s where I’m going to go, because I get to live somewhere else besides here, right? So I left for college, went to school to be an educator, a teacher.
And also, I knew that I wanted to own a business, but my ideal to have a business was kind of like to be a principal and own, like, these schools.
The bottom line is I wanted to make 100 grand.
Every career path I looked at, I didn’t see where I could make 100 grand.
But I’m like, if I work two careers, I could get it right.
So that was smart to me.
And I want you guys to interact with me a little bit, because I like when I speak in this interaction, right? So every time while I’m telling my story, I tell you when I went back to school, just put a finger up for every time I tell you I went back to school, okay? So I went to school.
That’s the first finger.
Thank you, guys.
Oh, you guys are so good.
I went to school, and it was for my bachelor’s degree in education and business, and I graduated from Drexel University, if anybody ever heard of that in Philadelphia, blah, blah, all the good stuff.
It’s an Ivy League college and all this other stuff, right? Because that’s what they told you.
I became a teacher.
I taught for a little bit.
Anybody ever heard a bad teacher? That was me.
I wasn’t a bad teacher, but I was always late.
That was my problem.
I heard somebody say that, too.
Don’t give up on the late people.
I’d still be late, right? But I was always late.
And the reason why I was late, because I was a single mother I had a son while I was in college, which you guys see, and I was a single mother at the time, and I had no support.
So I was either picking him up from school late or dropping him off and late to my class.
Any teachers in here? If you late to your class, where’s your kids at? In the auditorium.
Who’s watching the kids? The principal? If the principal is watching the kids, who’s upset? Any principals in okay.
I’m like Joe.
He was like, any tax know IRS, right? Any principals in here? So the principal would be standing just like this Hatika.
You can’t keep being late.
I’m like, I’m so, you know, you want to, like, hurry, scurry along.
And that was kind of like me.
I’m like, oh, crap.
But I didn’t say crap.
I say, like, the other word.
That was a better word.
And I was like, if I don’t figure something out, I’m going to be what, fired? So I’m like, okay, I got to figure something else out.
I need something with flexibility, right? So I went back to school again.
No, I’m on two.
All right.
Thank you.
I went back to school again to become a therapist so I could be more like a mobile therapist.
I was a behavior therapist.
I did that for six years.
Very rewarding.
Worked with all type of children that had disabilities.
But the main point was experiencing some type of trauma or whatever, and they couldn’t function in natural environment.
And I did that, and I loved it.
It was the flexibility I need.
But I had a problem, and the problem was what love had to do with it.
Tina Turner said.
Right? And the reason why I say that, because I needed to make more money.
So I’m like, dag.
I like what I do now? I got, like, the flexibility, but I don’t have no goddamn money.
So I reached in my back pocket because I paid my way through college, and I had a little certification called a CNA.
Anybody ever heard, like, a nurse assistant? All right, so I became a nurse assistant at night.
So by day, I was a behavior therapist, and at night, I was a certified nurse assistant, okay? And I worked at a rehab center.
So I would get done with work around , have my scrubs in my trunk, go to a nurse assistant I mean, to a rehab center, and guess what? Work.
So my friend hooked me up with that job, and she was a nurse, okay? So you know what she asked me? She was like, Tea, why you leave your profession and come here for these peanuts? Guess what? Because I needed an extra $1000 to $1,500 a month.
So you know what she said? She said, Why don’t you just go back to school and become, like, an LPN or a nurse or something? And I’m like, well, how much do nurses make here? She was like, $50 an hour.
I say, sign me up.
All right, $15 versus 50.
I’ll do it.
So I went back to school again, right, so I could become an RN.
And I was in school.
This is accelerated program.
Eleven months to become an RN.
And guess what? Somebody going to come to me and tell me about some Primerica.
Tell me, join Primerica.
I’m working three jobs.
I’m in school to be a nurse.
And they told me, do Primerica.
I’m a behavior therapist by day, a nurse assistant at night.
On the weekends.
Oh, I forgot to tell you guys about my hustle.
I was doing party planning.
Like, putting the little parties together.
Like, I’ll set up a room like this, but not this big, because I wasn’t that big, but you know what I mean? I’ll be the person that put the stuff on the table and do the little name tags or little favors and stuff.
And I did that on the weekends just for some extra cash.
I was a hustler.
Anybody you know, that’s a hustler? And you meet them and say, oh, they working two, three jobs.
They’re like, oh, they too busy.
No, they not.
My friend told me about Primerica, and guess what? I told her no.
And it wasn’t no because I’d heard about Primerica or I didn’t like Primerica and all these different things.
It was just that I couldn’t find out how I’m gonna fit anything else on my plate.
I couldn’t figure out how I’m gonna put anything else on my plate.
So I told her no.
And guess what? She followed up, and I told her no again.
And guess what? She followed up, and I told her no again.
I told her no about four times.
So you have some people in your warm market that have said no to you, and it hurt your feelings.
You need to go back and ask them again, right? So you know what happened? I always know I’m destined to be in prime America no matter what, because it wasn’t only me saying no, but I was watching her.
And I seen her change, and I seen her start dressing different, and I seen her start acting different, and I seen her start talking different, and I’m looking at her like, okay, I see she changing, okay? But still no.
I got my nurse thing I’m going to do.
But I’m watching.
I’m seeing her watching.
And you know what happened? One day, right while I was finishing up my classes that winter, a snowstorm came, and I went to this school that they never canceled classes, like, ever.
It could have been a bulldozer rolling up to the school.
They would never cancel classes.
They had a sign on the door that said, evening classes is canceled.
Okay.
Evening classes is canceled.
And the snowstorm did not even come yet.
I thought that I was in twilight zone.
I’m like, this can’t be real.
So I went to my professor office and he said, Tika? Yes.
The evening class is canceled.
Do It.
And he was telling me, like, what homework to catch up on.
And that was it.
So usually when I have a snowstorm, I say I was a single mom.
I would go to that same friend who told me about Primerica hang at her house for a little bit and her know because the kids is not going to drive me nuts in the house they’re going to drive each other.
So I would let my son play with her son.
I had a strategy.
You see that? So I called her and I said, ring, ring.
Hey, girl.
I’m heading to the market.
What is it that you need from the market? I’m going to head to your house afterwards.
And you know what she said? She said, you always welcome at my house, but I’m not going to be there.
I said.
Well, where are you going? It’s a snowstorm.
And she got silenced.
And she said, I’m going to my Primerica meeting.
And I could just see her neck rolling through the phone.
Okay? Like I done told you be that I’m in business for myself.
I could feel the attitude through the phone.
I said.
Oh, really? She said.
Really? I said, Well, I’m coming too, right? And I sat down to a meeting and I joined Primerica and I got started.
That’s how I got here, right? So don’t lose hope in the people that told you no.
Okay.
Stick with them.
They might just be one of your biggest players.
Okay.
But I want to fast forward because I just want to drop some nuggets on you guys.
So that gives you a little bit about my story.
If you want to hear some increment details about how I met Fritz, I’ll tell you later.
I just met the guy at a convention somewhere along the line.
All Right? So look at this, right? What I want to talk to you guys really quick about is I know the whole point in the leadership school is what you need to do to get the RVP.
And what is it that we’re doing? Everybody have great stories in prime America? You’re creating your story right now.
My story is still being built.
Okay.
Because when I get to a million, I’m going to have a better story.
Right? But what I want to talk to you guys about is branding yourself and marketing.
And I think a lot of times we don’t look at prime America like it’s a business.
You guys are very professional.
You probably look at Primerica like it’s a business.
But in my business, don’t look at Primerica like it’s a business.
Right? So I think the biggest challenge that you have is transitioning your mind from a w two mindset to a 1099 mindset, especially when you’ve been in corporate real.
So anybody here over 18, raise your hand.
All right? That was a trick question.
All right, so let’s say this.
For at least 18 years of conditioning, you’ve been conditioned before you even knew you was conditioned to work as an employee.
You guys got that, all right? Most people, unless you part of the 1% and your dad is like Warren Buffett, and that’s your uncle down the line, and he let you in on a golf club and all that good stuff.
But most of the people was conditioned before you was conditioned.
So let’s talk about that real quick.
When you went to school, what days you went to school, what days, what time? All you guys got different times.
Around about seven to three, eight to four, maybe nine to four, something like that, right? Right.
And then what days you have off Saturday and Sundays.
And then when you grow up and you finish with high school, right.
What time do you start going right into your corporate world? What time? Most people work Monday through Friday, eight to five.
So from about five or six years old, you’ve been conditioned to have that same schedule.
And then you join Prime America, and they have trainings at night, and your brain is tired and they’re screaming.
And you was taught to be quiet, right? Everything is opposite of what you was taught since you were six years old.
And I hear Keith Fatto say this a lot.
Patience was a sense of urgency.
And when he say that, I know it’s for the recruit, but it’s also for you.
You being patient with yourself and understand you’re in your growth journey.
And a lot of times we get frustrated with our own selves, and we take our own self out the game.
Do that make sense? Like, we take our own self out the game.
It’s not the recruits.
Sometimes it’s not the clients.
In order for you to be the best builder, like, one of the roles that I do in my business opportunity in Prime America is I’m a builder.
I’m a full heart holder.
You cut me open, builder.
What does a builder think about people? What do a builder want to do all the time? Talk to people.
I love talking to people, and I love building people up.
I’m a full, wholehearted builder.
I will go to the end of the earth for my people, so they go in.
I have no limitations.
It even drive my husband nuts sometimes.
I have no limitations.
He come home sometimes, like, six people in our house, like, Dude, hell they doing here? They live in here for a little bit.
Don’t worry.
I get them out in a few weeks.
We got this.
It’s going through a rough patch.
You’re like, what the hell? I see them at the office in my home.
But it’s like, you do whatever it takes to help your people, right? So the first thing is you got to understand that you in the business, and the number one thing you need to do in business is you got to market.
Anybody ever heard of the artist called Ashanti? Anybody? Okay.
Everybody heard of Ashanti? She got back with Nellie and all that good stuff, right? Ashanti, right? I think she’s pretty.
I think she got a nice body, and I think she got a nice voice.
Anybody heard of Beyonce? Anybody heard of Rihanna? What’s the difference between those two artists? The way that the company marketed them? That’s it.
When I look at it, I think that Ashanti could have been Beyonce.
I think she could have been Rihanna, but she wasn’t marketed right.
So at the end of the day, you got to ask yourself in your business, how are you marketing your business? Is it every day, all day? Everywhere you go, you are walking, talking billboard, and most of the time it’s no.
So that’s why nobody don’t know what you do.
You need to wear people out with Primerica.
Like, we got this lady on our team and her daughter, they call her the Primerica police.
I’m like that’s, right? I’m like that’s, right? At least they know who to go to.
At least they know, right? So here’s the thing.
You got to be marketing yourself, right? The next thing you got to do is sometimes when we get to an RVP, level this for the RVPs a little bit, we got to just humble ourselves and just fill up the pipeline.
But what happened is, when we become RVPs, we want to be like this perfect leader.
Mr.
Peabody oh, I don’t do this no more.
I’m not in the base shop.
This is for division leaders.
And we get all caught up in all these titles when the work don’t change.
Like, some of the time when I’m talking to my leaders in my base shop, I’m like, okay, you’re rushing to go to RVP.
Okay, let’s look at your numbers.
Last month, you did one by one.
The month before that, you did zero by one, and you think you should be RVP.
All right here.
And I say you got your RVP contract.
Congratulations.
You got 110%.
Now go run the base.
Or what you want me to talk about? You figure it out.
Oh, well, you did 1000 in premium, so you got 110% on that thousand.
How much you made as an RVP? Well, let’s do the math.
Okay.
Okay, so at an RVP, you made 100 for the month.
Congratulations.
Do you got the ring? Did you make any money? So how about while you in the base shop and you have the support of the base shop and you practice your craft and you work on getting better and you grow yourself, work on those things? So when you get to RVP, you can have a machine that’s running, a system that’s running, and stop worrying about the title, the title.
The title that’s also a corporate mindset, right? The title.
We get so hung up on titles, I make a joke.
I’m like, the longer the title, the less they pay you, okay? They got to make you feel good in some type of way.
You are the executive assistant of the corporation of stock market of this branch.
I’m the executive assistant.
That make how much, right? They got to make you feel good in some way.
So you got to know.
And marketing is big.
And I think that’s the first initial thing that you got to do when you want to build a business is you got to market yourself.
And a lot of times, we don’t want to market ourselves.
We just like people to refer us.
We just like to get things through a certain way, and that’s all good, and it could be comfortable, but sometimes we got to get out there, and we got to market ourselves, right? The different ways that we can market ourselves is social media.
And I heard somebody speak about that face to face.
That’s the one that people cringe about the face to face.
Why do you know, the two things that God gave us that no other species have is intellect and the communication, verbal communication.
No other species in the whole animal hierarchy have that to talk and articulate what you want.
So why do we look at it like it’s such a downer that we get to talk to people? Think about it like this, right? You talk to people on your deli runnings anyway.
Anybody ever talk to somebody? Why are you out and about? Right? So when you out and about, especially if you have kids, anybody have young kids? People think all kids is cute.
I beg to differ.
But people think all kids are cute, okay? And they always tell your kid is cute.
Sometimes they tell me my kid is cute.
I’m like, she do not look cute right now.
Her hair is not done.
Her nose is snotty.
She’s not cute.
But okay, you want to say she cute? All right.
Got it.
But what I’m saying is people always think your kid is cute.
People compliment people.
We live in New York.
People need directions.
People lost.
They don’t know what owl the potato mixes in.
People always communicating.
But what happens is when people communicate with us, we give them what they want, and we let them leave.
What I want you to start looking at is that you’re a valuable person in this room, everybody in this room.
If you just got registered today, you’re worth at least $250 an hour for your time.
That’s what I want you to think about if you just got started.
So here’s what I want you to think.
When somebody come into your proximity to talk to you, they have to pay.
If you want to ask a lawyer, right? A question, a consultation, don’t they have to pay for your time.
Exactly.
I want you to think the same way.
So when somebody come and ask you something, how are they paying? They have to pay with a phone number.
Like, I didn’t help you.
Now guess what? You won’t help me.
So the best transitional word is by the way.
Anybody can say that.
By the way.
Excuse me.
By the way, notice is weird.
You happen to know anybody looking for some extra income? Oh, really? How about yourself? It’s okay being weird, right? So face to face, another thing is friendship forming, ladies, this is my favorite way to prospect.
Anybody ever, like, shop? Yeah, go shopping.
What are you doing today? Shopping.
What are you doing today? Shopping.
What are you doing? Shopping.
Shopping for who? People get a little cart, roll around, right? You guys all notice.
I’m sure your leaders tell you this all the time, right? Networking events.
I just heard Grace Kim talk about that on the call.
She talked about networking events.
I’m like, hey, I might add that to my repertoire, right? Schools, churches, police stations.
That’s another one.
See, some people scared to go in the police station, but now you could go in there with a purpose.
You’ll get that on your way home, right? Fire departments, right? Listen, as I close out, the biggest thing I want you guys to understand is we just got to change our mindset, and we got to get back to that mindset of having a big bay shop.
And I think a lot of times, because we rush RVP, we don’t talk about it no more.
We don’t talk about it enough.
Like having a big base shop.
And the way that we do it is a lot of times we got to get up as the leaders, and we got to lead from the front, and we just got to fill the pipeline, go out and say, you know what? I can’t prospect every day.
I can’t do this based off my schedule.
But you know what I’m going to do today? I’m going to make my day clear.
Where I’m going to just go, and I’m going to go meet some people like that’s.
My number one priority is just to fill up the pipeline.
I fill up my pipeline.
It’s okay to call your clients.
Add that.
It’s okay to call your family and ask them referrals.
Add that.
But think about it.
When you call a client and you call a referral, you’re still limited.
You’re limited to what they’re willing to give you.
Would you agree? But when you go out there and you get it for yourself, it’s unlimited.
It’s like a buffet.
You could talk to whoever you want, whenever you want, and you could control your activity.
This is why I love prospecting, because I don’t want to have to beg anybody or nobody control my success in Primerica.
And I got to be like this perfect person.
And then they see me on Instagram doing what I want to do, and then they want to say, you know what? Don’t talk to my cousin.
You get what I’m saying? Not saying that’s my instagram, but what I’m saying is, if they don’t agree with something in your family or they don’t agree with something that is your views, people can also snatch the rug under your feet.
That’s how I think.
So I know that I still want to control a portion of my business, right? And don’t get me wrong.
It’s all good.
But I’m just saying, add these things, right? So we got to get back to a big base shop mindset.
And I think that when you’re marketing yourself and this is what I talked to my team about that help you build that big base shop.
We should never have empty chairs.
We should never have a meeting where people not showing up.
People should be lining up at the door to hear from these leaders right here.
These leaders have the ticket to make million dollars.
Is nobody else teaching them how to do that? I don’t care if your job, you make 100 or $200,000.
Guess what? That’s another thing that we pull from under your foot whenever they feel like it.
Right? Here’s what I want you guys to think about.
All right? Anybody like superhero movies? All right, imagine this.
And I’m bringing Fritz up.
All right? Imagine this as I close out, you’re a superhero.
Everybody close your eyes for a second.
You’re a superhero, everybody.
Okay, now open it.
Think about your superhero who you like batman, Catwoman, whatever you like, right? You’re a superhero.
And what makes the movie so good is because they have another player in that superhero movie.
Do you guys know who the other player is? There you go.
It’s called the villain.
Now, I googled this while I was sitting here because I knew it was part of my talk.
I want to read this definition to you really quick.
What is the job of the villain? The job of the villain is to stop the opponent.
Right? Where is it at? I had it.
To stop the opponent from whatever it is they’re trying to do.
So I read it.
The villain job.
Why did it go away? Damn phones.
Well, here we go.
The villain purpose is to serve as an opposition to the hero character.
Their whole job is to just stop you.
They don’t care what they got to do, how many ends of the world they got to go to.
Their whole job is just to stop you from what it is that you’re supposed to be doing.
That’s it.
How hard are they working if that’s their whole job, to stop you from doing what you’re supposed to be doing? You join Primerica.
That’s, to me, a God given opportunity.
And then what happens is, you have these villains come in your life, and.
You start to question if Primerica work or not.
And your villains could be anybody.
It could be your wife, it could be your husband, it could be your kids, it could be a disease, it could be a job, it could be anything.
And their whole purpose is to stop you from getting that total freedom and for you, because the lives that you’re going to change after you get to where you need to be, that’s the whole job.
And you have to get a little tougher, and you have to understand that’s the role.
So when Adversity hits you guys, I want you to stand strong and I want you to keep pressing through.
Okay, guys, thank you so much.
I hope you got something out of what I wanted to talk about.
All right, please help me welcome my partner, Fish, your choir.
All right, let’s give Tiki began.
Great job, right? All right, I got, like, two minutes.
I’m just kidding, right? Very excited, man.
First of all, I want to thank Joe and Denise.
And not only that, I’m sure there was a collective decision with the RVPs and just to actually invite us and have us here.
We don’t take that lightly.
When someone asks us to speak, obviously see something in us.
And I think for me, the biggest thing out of everything is the relationship that you built with these people like Joe and Denise and Paul.
I see Barone, and I remember Barone used to come to Brooklyn, and I was like a rep or senior rep, and he was speaking.
I was getting motivated by those talk.
That when he do training.
And we appreciate those moments, because those are the moments that build us and make us and mold us to be the person we are today.
And then in return, we asked Joe if you could bring a couple of people.
So we had about ten people that came out with us.
We got Rosemary.
She just got licensed.
Let’s give her a big hand.
We got Clayton.
Stand up, Clayton.
Clayton just got licensed as well.
Funny story about Clayton.
Clayton says, I don’t want to work with nobody else.
I just want to work with you and show him what I got to do.
Go to RVP.
He’ll definitely be an RVP in the next at least twelve months.
That’s the game plan we got him on.
And we got Omar.
Omar just got licensed as well.
And then we got Douglas.
He’s actually a regional leader right now, but yesterday, just yesterday, he actually passed his 26th license, right? So he’s getting ready to go to RVP.
So we’re excited about them, man.
And we’re just excited, man.
We’re just excited to get to another level.
I started Primerica, literally.
Now it’s been over 16 years now.
I came from a background where, like I said, I used to devil pizza for a living.
I used to work at Domino’s Pizza.
Okay? And I was making $4.75 an hour.
Can you imagine making $4.75 an hour? I never forget this.
I got a raise.
You know what my raise was? Somebody said it 25 cent.
I was so happy.
I called my mom.
I’m getting a raise, right? My raise was 25 cent.
And I went to New York City Tech, downtown Brooklyn, and I was studying computer information system.
And so that was my path.
I was going to go to college.
I was going to eventually go in a computer major.
And I met someone in college.
They woke up to me and asked me if I know someone’s looking for work.
And kind of weird, right? Someone just walk up to you and ask for know, someone looking for work.
And in return, I’m like I look at like, you know, how did they know to speak to know? So we exchanged numbers, and he called me a couple days later.
And at that time, I had to admit I’m like, yeah, man, I’m the guy.
I’m looking for something better.
So I never forget he invited me down to an interview.
And it was like a Tuesday night or Tuesday night, but on the same night of the Op meeting, it happened to be PFSU.
So I saw a bunch of people that were sitting just in the same in the lobby here.
And then they all got up, and I got up with them and I went to I’m thinking was the interview.
So I sat actually, I sat into a room where there was a teacher that was teaching.
I never forget it.
They said, Turn off your cell phone.
So I turn off my cell phone, of course, right? And I was in student mode, right? I was a student.
So I literally started taking notes.
And I was focused.
I’m like, maybe this is the way for me to get the job, and they’re going to have questions after.
So I was focused.
So 2 hours later after the first break, I turned my phone on and I got a voicemail message from Chris H on.
And he says, hey, budy, we’re supposed to meet up today.
I’m not sure what happened, but I’m here.
I’m like, didn’t you saw that I signed in? Like, what’s going on? So I literally call him back.
And I’m going, I’m here.
Didn’t you see that I signed in? He’s like here.
Where? Right? And I’m like, I’m in a class.
And he’s like, what class? And literally I know I was sitting PFSU and I had the book, and I was leaving with the book.
And he goes, Where are you going with the book? I’m like, Can I take the book? He’s like, all right, go ahead and take the book.
And he said something magical.
He said, Why don’t you come back on Saturday and I’m going to hire you.
And usually Domino’s Pizza the weekend.
Saturday is just the best day.
Even though you get paid $4.75.
The more hours you do, you get tips.
So I never could come on a Saturday because the guy tried to invite me before.
I’m like, no, I can’t do Saturdays.
But he says something magical, I’m going to hire you.
So I’m like, sure, I’m taking all.
And I showed up to the out meeting, and I loved the business.
Never thought it was a scam.
Never thought nothing.
But I just didn’t have the money.
It was $199 back then to get started.
So Chris H.
Young, literally, he followed up with me for about three months, and this follow up skill was, hey, bud, how are you doing? Right? Nothing crazy.
Never invite me back to a meeting or nothing like that.
And then three months later, after I save up the money, all right? Could you just imagine making $4.75 an hour? Took me, like, three months.
Finally got the 199, right? I didn’t have a bank account.
I actually came in with a money order, and I submitted my paperwork, and I got started, and that’s how I got started in prime America.
So now we got to the time I was taking a test, right? And I thought I was, like, an average student, but this one was different, because when you got to take the state, you can’t look at your neighbor paper.
You
