Proud Week

Proud Week

My daughter learned at her grandpa's funeral that he was a Native American. "Wait? So I'm part Indian, dad?" Now she walks around singing "I'm an Indian princess!" So much to be proud of this week. My wife held strong and took charge writing her dad's obituary,...

How to Succeed

Two weeks ago I was in this room. Those walking by the glass hallway knew everyone in there did at least a million last year... some well into 8 figures. But what I saw from inside the glass had little to do with financial success. I saw givers. We each stood up and...

Good Leads Have Patience

A lead I had a call scheduled with canceled just two days later. He let me know he went with a different agency because I didn't have sooner availability for a pre-chat. That's music to my ears. If he couldn't wait 4 days to chat, definitely not a good fit for a...

100k views in 24 hours, and how that converts to sales

"Cool, Damon. But the right views matter." Agreed. Yet, the more people you can get in front of, the more people relate to you or can share your message with those right people, faster. Stop sleeping on the value of sharing your stories on social. I don't care about...
