The Business-Modelling breakthrough
that converted tears at the Lake to $10,000 days
excerpts from article "[Rhino Tip] My Stark Realization " by Jerry DRhino Clark of www.clubrhino.com
Let me explain…
In 1998, I met an interesting guy. His name is Nate Brooks. Nate
had purchased one of my audio training courses and had e-mailed me
to let me know much he benefited from it.
After a bit of a conversation, I discovered quite a bit about Nate.
He was raised in the Ghetto areas of Oakland, California… He saw
Education as a way out… He studied diligently and excelled in
school which eventually got him into top schools like Harvard
University and M.I.T… He delved into a career as a Real Estate
Broker – where he became of the Top Brokers in the Bay area
(earning him Millions of Dollars). He also delved into Network
Marketing and produced a side 6-Figure income in that. Throughout
all of this achievement, Nate was still hungry for more knowledge –
hence, purchasing some of my training programs in 1998.
Well… You may know that Nate and I ended up recording a program
together called the 10 Biggest Mistakes all Network Marketers Make
and How to Avoid them (No worries, if you don’t have it yet, I’m
doing a weekend special where you can pick up this approx. 6 hour
training course for less than $10 so hold tight and we will get
there)…
Let’s fast forward… After Nate and I recorded the 10 Biggest
Mistakes training program, we pretty much lost contact for nearly
15 years… He was focused on a new Real Estate company he had
created, and I was focused on traveling the equivalent to 7 times
around the World each year conducting training to various Network
Marketers in over 35 Countries…
Then… about 2 weeks ago, my assistant told me that an order for
one of our training programs came in and the person who placed the
order left a Note for me in the Comment section. I, of course,
asked what the person’s name was… She said, “Nate Brooks”…
I immediately gave Nate a call and we reconnected…
It’s amazing how we seem to pick up our conversation where we left
off over 15 years earlier as if no time had passed… Of course we
caught up on what each other had been doing… He mentioned he had
sold his Real Estate Company to a major Real Estate Company (which
set him up financially for life), and moved to Texas (just a few
hours away from me)… I then asked him what he was doing with all of
his free time (because I just couldn’t see Nate retiring and not
doing nothing… He has too much creative energy for that)…
He said he was doing some Day Trading…
Oh… Day Trading… That’s cute – I thought…
I then asked him how it was going…
He said it was going pretty good – mentioning that he was profiting
about $5,000 - $10,000…
I said to him, “Oh, and extra $5,000 - $10,000 per month while you
are already set financially is not a bad piece of extra change.”
He then said, “Oh… No… I’m talking $5,000 - $10,000 per Day.”
I was shocked…
He was so casually speaking about the 5-10K of extra profit that I
did not even consider that he meant Daily…
Of course this peaked my curiosity so 3 days later I drove down to
meet him for Lunch so I can take a firsthand look at what he was
doing.
Be Patient… My Stark Realization is about to be Revealed.
I arrived at Nate’s home, we went to his home office and he showed
me where and how he was earning that very nice extra 5-10K per day
in income.
NOTE: Please do not think the lesson is to Day Trade… Actually,
that could be one of the quickest ways for you to lose money, it
actually has nothing to do with that… I’m about to share the Real
Lesson to this message (and my Stark Realization) very soon.
During Lunch, I asked Nate how he had gotten so good at Day
Trading… He said the same way he had gotten good at everything
else he had done in life… He started out by studying everything he
could get his hands on regarding Day Trading. He said he plunked
down $120,000 just in this sort of training. Then, he said he
learned a lot as he executed some of the processes and techniques
he was learning via the seminars and training sessions. He said he
ended up losing about $360,000 doing this.
He said that throughout this learning and doing process, he spent
many days walking around the lake while crying over the losses for
the day (literally crying)… I’m talking real tears and all.
He then said he decided to approach others who he knew were
successful day traders… The one question he asked them was this,
“Would it offend you if I paid you $1,500 to sit down with you over
lunch and ask you a few questions about your Trading approaches?”
He said he did that with about 5 different people and ALL of them
said yes… He said he learned a lot from them, but he knew he
hadn’t cracked the code yet.
So, he approached one trader who he knew was crushing it… He asked
him this question, “Would it offend you if I paid you $5,000 to
watch you Trade for one day?” He said he just wanted to see what
he was doing and wanted him to tell him why he was doing what he
was doing when he was doing it… This guy said, “Sure”. After day
1, he had learned so much that he asked if it would offend him if
he paid him another $5,000 for one more day… Day 2 was even more
valuable for him so he paid him another $5,000 for a 3rd Day… After
the 3rd day, Nate said he was set.
He then went to work, utilizing his newfound strategies, and the
$5,000 - $10,000 per day Day-Trading Code was cracked.
Ok… Finally, My Stark Realization:
After Nate shared all of this with me, I basically said this to
him, “So basically what you are saying is that most people will
Never get these sorts of results in Day-Trading because most people
will not even come close to doing the sorts of things you did to
get the results you are getting.”
Nate said, not only that, but most people aren’t going to be
successful at whatever it is they seek to be successful at because
most people aren’t going to do what it takes to pull it off.
I then said, “Most people don’t have an extra $500,000 to spare on
learning and mastering.”
He said, “That’s correct… But most people won’t require $500,000…
The $500,000 isn’t the point, the point is being willing to do what
it takes (within your power) to pull it off.”
So there you have it… My Stark Realization… Some produce the 100K
per month in income in our Industry while most don’t… Some are
willing to do what it takes, while most aren’t.
I don’t mean to make it so simple, but in a weird way (while I will
admit there are all sorts of variables in the equation), it sort of
is.
Ultimately, it all boils down to this…
Are you willing to Learn what you gotta Learn and Do what you gotta
Do to Get what you wanna Get?
This should be something that makes you say, Hmmmmmm.
Go, Go, Go!!!
