You have questions?America's number one business coach has answers.It's your Broda from Minnesota.Here's another edition of Ask Clay Anything on the Thrivetime Business Coach Radio Show.
We record today's show at 4.40 in the morning, and the question comes to us from a listener asking about headers and metadata, and how to know what information to fill out, and readability scores, and backlinks, and siloing, and all this.
It's just, it's a lot of nitty-gritty nerdery, search engine nerdery, and I think a lot of people who are listening to this are going, what are you even talking about?So let's do this real quick.Let's do this for all the listeners.
Let's go off the assumption that everybody's going to go to thebestseobook.com.Everybody just work your way over there.Here we go.We got to move the thumbs, move the fingers, type.I got carpal tunnel.I don't know if I can make it.Come on.
Go on without me.Come on.No, just go to thebestseobook.com.I've got carpal tunnel.Just go on without me.Leave me here.I can't leave you here.Go to thebestseobook.com. It's free, you get to download the book for free.
John, when we say we can download the e-book for free, what do we mean by that?
So you can go to thebestseobook.com and then download the e-book for free.But what's the catch?There is no catch.
Alright, so that's a mega point for you. So you can download the book for free.
You go to chapter 2 and in chapter 2 of the book we go through an exhaustive checklist of all the things that you need to know for your website to grow in its rank in order to rank higher on the Google search engine results.
we have read search engine for dummies by bruce clay which is a fine book search engine for dummies by bruce clay and that book is john how many pages is that book like 780 something pages yeah it's a beautiful read it's like reading a manual to like a ford taurus it's a beautiful have you ever read the manual to a ford taurus all the time
You've read the manual to your Explorer.Do you have a manual in your Explorer right now?It's somewhere.Do you have it in the glove compartment?I doubt it.Seriously?Have you read one of those before?
Oh wait, no.Yes, I have because I had to change the fuses on it once and I had no idea what I was doing.
Is it in your car right now?
Did you read the whole thing or did you just flip to the section that you needed?I flipped until I found the section I needed.
Yeah. Okay, well I'll tell you this, only an exceptional reader would take the time needed to read the manual to their vehicle.Not only that, but somebody who has a lot of time too.And T.D.
Jakes has something to say about this, your decision not to read the manual to your Ford Explorer.
So Jesus, who is exceptional, is having a conversation with ordinary. an exceptional and ordinary always have a conflict.Anytime exceptional people dwell in the midst of ordinary thinking people, there's always going to be conflict.
So I have a conflict here.You need to get out there and read that manual cover to cover because only an exceptional person would know every detail about the fine automobile they're driving around.
Right, but that's why I would take it to Roy because he specializes in Fords and he knows that. Hmm.
No.No.Too easy, buddy.And then when you finish reading that, you get out that manual to your microwave and you read that thing.
And then when you're done with that, you go and change the all the clocks in America that are currently reading 12 because someone can't figure it out.You change all those to the right time.It's going to be an expensive Sunday.
No, but seriously, search engines, you could spend forever learning about them.Also, there's a great book called Get Rich Click by Mark Ostrovsky.And Jason, I want to put a link to all these on the show notes.
And the show is dated as 1110 Nitty Gritty Search Engine Nerdery.So again, we've got Search Engine for Dummies by Bruce Clegg, a fine book.You should definitely own that book.I recommend you have that book.
Then there is Get Rich Click by Mark Ostrovsky. Then there's How Google Works by Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google.That's like the holy grail.You want to have those three search engine books.
And I've read all these books, and they're not fun to read, but they're kind of like you need to know.Or you could read our book, Search Engine Domination, which is how many pages, John, roughly?I mean, it's a hard number.Under 300.Under 300 pages.
And it's like a lot of pictures, too.Devin, have you seen this book?Oh, yeah.A lot of pictures, a lot of examples.It's loaded with over 50 examples or client case studies.I mean, it's like screenshots.It's very easy.
It's written for people like me where I'm reading the book and I'm going, There's not any pictures in this book.What's going on, Jason?Can you help me?And then Jason is what Jason says.Jason says, no, I can't.
I'm reading a manual about my Ford Explorer.
Sorry there, you know?So it's easier to read than the manual to a 2002 Ford Explorer.
Jason, I'm trying to read this, but there's no pictures in the book.So our book is like the Berenstain Bears of search engines. It's like Dr. Seuss of search engine books.It's very easy to read and you open it up to chapter two.
There's a checklist there and I want to get into the specific questions our listener has.Let's talk about headers and metadata, John.
In our book, we have all the rules all laid out there, but where do most people get it wrong as it relates to metadata and headers and what is he talking about?What is metadata and what are headers?
So header is just like it's the title.So think of it as a school paper.You have to organize it.So it's whatever is the most important thing first.So your header would be like whatever the article or that page is about.
Then their content would be there.And then the metadata where most people get it wrong is they just don't fill it out.And so metadata is what Google sees, and it's like a, essentially a synopsis, if you will, of that page.
So it tells Google, and it tells people that are Googling, if you ever see, like if you Google Tulsa men's haircuts, and you see the title up there, and then there's like one to two sentences that talk about that page, it's what you can expect to find when you click into the page.
Burj Najarian is the personal assistant and the chief of staff for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.He's also the man who lets us know that Bill Belichick is unavailable for an interview.John, does he not tell us when he's not available?
He's rejected us three times.Yes, but we love Burj.We love Burj.He's our guy.
And we talk about him so much, in fact, and we optimize for him so much that now if you Google search Burj Najarian right now, Burj, Burj, if you're out there, Burj, we love you.Burj, if you're out there right now and you Google your own name,
Let's do it.It's a bromantic moment.Google search.Everybody Google search.Burj.B-E-R-J.Najarian.N-A-J-A-R-I-A-N.And you will find me as number one or two in the world.
underneath the Boston Globe as the number one source for all things related to Burj Najarian.I bet you on our website, I've said Burj Najarian, I've mentioned Burj Najarian, I've talked about Burj.I bet you I've mentioned Burj over a thousand times.
And maybe on this show I'll mention Burj Najarian a thousand times.Maybe I'll say Burj Najarian, maybe I'll use Burj Najarian as a way to end sentences.Maybe I'll say, so Jason, how's it going, Burj Najarian?That's a question.
Maybe I'll use Burj Najarian as a way to start sentences.I'll say like, Devon, how's it going?Burj Najarian.You see what I'm doing right there?I'm weaving it in.We have- Burji.
But everybody Google search Burj Najarian and you'll see an example of a properly optimized page.Another example would be, let's Google search Bill Belichick's number one fan.Bill Belichick's number one fan.You've got to use the number sign.
So the number one fan.Bill Belichick's number one fan.And there I come up at the top of the search engine results.And John, why do we come up top?I mean, why us?Why do we come up as Bill Belichick's number one fan?
I mean, obviously we are Bill Belichick's number one fan, but why do we come up top?
Well, we have the most relevant content about that particular subject.So, I think this particular page that's pulling up there is you just professing your love for Bill Belichick and why all of the things he does are so great.
And so Google views it as a source of wisdom on that particular topic or keyword.America's number one, or I guess Bill Belichick's number one fan.
And this just reminds me.
You know what they say.Burj Najarian.You know what they say.
person as you're in.That's what they say, Devin.
Okay.Now, where do people get this wrong, though?Because this client's wanting to know about headers and metadata.Jason, do you have any other clarifications?Because we have a client asking this question.
I want to make sure that we're answering everything there is to know about this here.Do we have any other questions about this?
Well, so his initial question was just he was blown away by the knowledge you guys and Bruce Clay had on that interview you did with him.And there were just certain areas.
These are basically words that he was unaware of, but he realized were really important.So he just kind of wanted to have a better understanding of it.
So I want everybody to go to thebestseobook.com, download the book.I can't do it.I have carpal tunnel and I'm driving. pull over your car, download the book, go to chapter two, there's a checklist right there.And in there we have all the rules.
Now meta, it comes from the Greek word meaning above.It's above and beyond what the average user sees.Devin, why is it called metadata in your opinion?And then where can we find it?
I mean, what do we need to click if I want to see my metadata right now on any website page?
So to view the metadata of any website, you're going to right click on it.
You know, I had a dream a few years ago that at 4.49 in the morning, you and I would rendezvous and you'd be telling me about metadata.And now that dream has come to pass.Oh, man.
That's great.OK, so we're going to we're going to go on the page that we're trying to view the metadata.
So let's go to let's type in.Everybody do it with me now.Google search Tulsa men's haircuts.Tulsa men's haircuts.All right.So we all go Tulsa men's haircuts.Everybody Google.Everybody now Google. Okay, everybody now.Google it.Now, we're all Googling.
We've all Googled now.Tulsa men's haircuts.As we're getting into this nitty-gritty nerdery.Devin, now we've found the page.Now what do I need to do?Oh, yeah.
So we're going to eitrlounge.com.Nitty-gritty nerdery.Oh, man. Then we're going to right-click on the page and select View Page Source.Nice.OK.And then what happens?
Then it pulls up a whole bunch of... And what are the main pieces of metadata?What are the main... We've got the title tag, right?You've got the description.Title, description.
OK.And we have all the rules. In chapter two of the Search Engine Domination book, you can download it right now.Just go to thebestseobook.com.Now, the readability score.
John, what is a readability score, and why do we even need to know about a readability score?
It's something that the plugin that we use, Yoast, to help optimize each page, puts on there.It's a score based on computers saying how easy or difficult it is to read. So, what writing level you're writing at.
And so, the kicker here is if you wrote like a really big, high thought paper, you would still score low, because it's not what the average person can read at.And so, you just, you want the content on there.That's step one.
You have to have your content on there.And I wouldn't get hung up on what the readability score says, unless it says it's very bad.
Okay, let's repeat that again.Repeat that one more time.I think somebody out there is wrestling with this idea right now.They want to understand.They don't get it.
Yeah, it's just a score that Yoast, the plugin, puts on the page saying how easy is this particular page for the average person to read.
Uh, Jason, I would like you to look up the lyrics to Follow God by Kanye West.I want you to read the lyrics to us, please.Okay?I'm gonna keep just a little sample.
Everybody, by the way, if you have not yet bought the Kanye West album, Jesus is King, you're really missing out.I mean, you owe it to your family and you owe it to Kanye's wallet.Pay the Kanye tax and buy his newest album, Jesus is King.
This video's awesome, by the way.Love it.
Jason, can you read it please?Yep.So it says, life like, this is what your life like.Try to live your life right.People really know you.Push your buttons like, type right.This is like a movie, but it's really very life like.Every single night right.
Every single fight right.I was looking at the gram and I don't even like, or I don't even like likes.I was screaming at my dad.He told me, I ain't Christ like. Oh, It Ain't Christlike, whoops.
I was screaming at the referee, just like Mike, looking for a bright light, sigil, what's your life like?Keep reading.This is fascinating, keep reading.
Riding on a white bike, feeling like Excitebike, pressing on the gas supernova for a nightlight, screaming at my dad, again, and he told me, It Ain't Christlike.
But nobody never tell you when you're being Christ-like, or when you're being like Christ, only ever seeing me only when they need me.
Like if Tyler Perry made a movie for BET, searching for a deity, now you want to see it free, now you want to see if we, let's just see the three of us.
Now those are the lyrics to his song though, so if Kanye were to take the lyrics of his own song, and put them on a web page, John, would it have a high readability score or a low readability score?That would be a low readability score.
But he shouldn't change his lyrics to increase the readability score.
Well, and it's done, right?
Right.But people get all hung up on this.So I'm just trying to say, if you're out there today and you are, don't get hung up on this.All you want to do is avoid the very, very bad.
O'Reilly Right.Yeah, if you're putting content, just put content, and it makes no coherent sense at all, then it's worthless.
And so, that's the only time you would be concerned about readability score is if it's like, hey, this was written as a drunk third grader.
Now let me say this, and I'm not going to argue with you on this show, but I will say this.It's also who you're competing with.So as an example, years ago I worked with an auto wrap company.I think you remember this one.
But his competition had no content at all.Like no content.Not a single one of his competitors had any content.Right?So they had no content at all.
So I tell this person, I tell this woman, I say to her, I said, hey, you need to write a thousand words of content per page on your website.And John, you remember this, she would not write the content.She says, I'm going to, but she didn't.
So she's not writing any content at all.So what happens if, so she says, can you write it for us?Right?Right.So we had a member of our team who knows nothing about auto wraps, write content on their website.
And even though the stuff that we wrote for them didn't make a lot of sense, because the person who we hired to write the content knew nothing about auto raps, they still ranked top for their search term.
How could they possibly rank top, John, if their content isn't that good?Well, it's better than everybody else's.It's better than nothing.
It's more relevant.It's better than nothing, for sure.
And I won't mention the search term, but I believe this company still ranks up top.But this particular client, we had this conversation.I want to say, John, for like months.And I'm saying, hey, you need to write content on your website.
And every week it's like, yeah, yeah, I'm going to.But they didn't.
Why is it so hard for people to write content, John?What's the issue? I think, one, it requires just a certain level of get-er-done.It sucks.Writing sucks.It takes a lot of time.It takes brain power, which nobody wants to think anymore.
They just want to float through life and not turn their brains on.When you're sitting down, you have to be engaged, and you actually have to be thinking about what you're trying to say.
So you got to think.Again, you got to think.And if you don't want to think, someone else has to think for you, but somebody has to write that content.So again, readability score, just watch out for the very, very, very bad readability score.
Now, step number three, backlinks.For question number three, what are backlinks and are they important?Okay.First off, if you're out there listening today and you say, Clay, I want to get a backlink.
That is a lot like telling me that you want to run a marathon, in my opinion.And I think it's great that you want to run a marathon.I'm excited for you that you are saying right now that you want to run a marathon.
But how many people do you know that have actually run a marathon?Think about that for a second.
What's funny is the person who asked this question ran a triathlon last month and placed first. But our listeners are exceptional people.That's true.
The average person, though, is talking into a box fan on their Saturday, eating gummy bears while talking about wanting to run the marathon.They're eating gummy bears, talking into a box fan going, oh, look at this.This is awesome.
I want to run a marathon, Daryl.Okay, so wanting to and doing it are different things, but backlinks are tough for the average person to get.
And so John, I'm going to tee up how to get the backlink and then you tell me why it's hard to do and what I need to do if I really, really want to get a backlink.All right?So backlink strategy number one.
Get other websites that are related to your industry to link back to you.Get other websites that are related to your industry to link back to you.Why is that so hard, John?
Well, nobody wants to do anything out of the goodness of their heart, right?So it's all, what have you done for me lately?And so when you're reaching out to these people saying, hey, will you link to me?
You have to be giving them something in return, something that they value, because they're not going to just do it just because you asked.A.K.A.money. money, content that they want to share, which then they can turn into money.
You have to like fill a need that they have so then they will fill a need that you have.
But almost nobody ever backlinks to anybody ever.I've seen clients who've had very, very good friends who've said to them, clients of mine have gone to their friends and said, hey friend, I would like to get a backlink.You own a business.
Could you backlink to me? And I've never, I say never, I've never seen it happen.John, I've seen people tell me, oh my friend's gonna backlink to me.My friend is an attorney and he told me that he's gonna link back to me.
And I've never seen it happen.Have you seen it happen?No.Devin, have you seen it happen?No.I think we are the only people that have ever linked back to someone out of the goodness of our hearts.That's true.
I think we have listeners that have asked us, hey, can you put a backlink to me?And I go, well, let me look at your stuff.Let me look at your stuff.But anyway, very few people will do a backlink.Now, if you do a backlink, you have to do it properly.
So you've got to put the anchor text on there.John, what is the anchor text?
Yeah, so you want whatever keyword that you're trying to go for.Say it was Tulsa men's haircuts.Let's do Tulsa home security.Tulsa home security.
So you would want whoever is linking back to you to on Tulsa Home Security hyperlink or link your website on those specific words.
So I need to type out the words Tulsa Home Security.Right.And then select all.Right.And then hit command K.
On a Mac.And that will put a hyperlink prompt up there.
Yeah, so then that way if you ever see the words that are blue and you click it and it takes you somewhere else, that's what that is.That's an anchor text.
And so you would want to make sure that they link Tulsa Home Security, the keyword, back to your site.
Back to witnessllc.com, one of our clients.Right.So if you're out there today and you want to be a good person, and I know you do, Put a backlink on your website.First, write something about Tulsa Home Security that's relevant.
Go ahead and write a thousand words about it, too.And then put a link on your website back to witnessllc.com.And then you want to put, if possible, you want to put the name of the company, the phone number, and the address.
John, why would you want to put the name of the company, the phone number, the address, and why should that match what Google has on file for you with your Google My Business account?
Well, it's just Google looks for consistency over all things.
They look for consistency in how consistent you are about writing content or uploading content, how consistent you are in your reviews, how consistent you are in all of the directories that you are in.
They just want everything to be the same and to match.
Now, before we really, really get nerdy, before we really get into that deep, dark, nerdy nerdery, I want to cue up this audio clip again here.
That's impossible, even for a computer.But it's not impossible.I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home.They're not much bigger than a TV.
Again, we're going to be teaching you later on today, so if you stick around long enough, we're going to teach you how to bullseye womp rats using your T-16 back home.
Even for a computer.But it's not impossible.I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home.
I guess it's in his T-16.So he was in a T-16.
That's impossible, even for a computer.But it's not impossible.I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home.
So he was in a T-16.It's a very valuable skill to learn.
He was in a- He was in a- They're not much better than team leaders.
It's a calculator I used in high school.
So he was in a T-16 while bullseyeing Lamprance?So he was driving at rapid speed?I guess that'd be like riding a horse and shooting somebody with a rifle?
You think it's a vehicle?I thought it was like a spaceship type thing.
Are those not vehicles? Okay, we'll continue.So now, again, it is 5.01 in the morning, so we're just now waking up here, folks.So here we go.Siloing.Siloing.John, does it matter?What is siloing?What does it mean?
It's just a way to organize your sitemap.So when you have a ton of content about one specific thing or multiple specific things, it's way
to organize, to tell Google, okay, here are all of the pages that I have about this, using the example earlier, Tulsa Home Security.So you would click that and then it would load all of the pages.
And then if you had another keyword and you had a ton of content for Home Security Tulsa, you would click that and it would load all of those pages.It's just a fancy way to organize your sitemap once you have a ton of content.
Let me give you the official definition here.Siloing is the act of dividing a website's content into different categories and subcategories, groupings known as silos.
It also allows for optimizing on-site content around a wider array of keyword groups. This is my experience having worked with thousands of clients.I would not worry about siloing until you have a thousand pages of content.This is my take on this.
I don't think it matters.I haven't seen it matter.But then once you have a thousand pages of content, then it might make sense to organize them at that point.John, would you agree or you say maybe 500 articles or what do you think?
A thousand is great.It's just, like I said, it's a great way to organize your site map.It also helps speed up your site, which is becoming increasingly a bigger and bigger thing.
But yeah, I would not worry about it until you have at least a thousand index pages.
Now, if you're out there listening today and you say, Clay, I want to really fix my website.Now, what do I do?
Well, what you'd want to do is you want to go to thebestseobook.com, thebestseobook.com, and download chapter two of the book and go through that checklist. Or you can email us to info at thrivetimeshow.com.That's info at thrivetimeshow.com.
And we will audit your website for you for free and tell you what you need to do to fix the website.And John, we've had thousands of people that have done this.And have we ever had somebody who's emailed us that... Had it all right?No.Never.Never.
So again, I wonder why we have hundreds of thousands of listeners.I wonder why we haven't had hundreds of thousands of people fill out that form.I don't know.
I wonder why we haven't had hundreds of thousands of people email us to info at Thrivetimeshow.com.I'm giving myself points for wondering.
I'm wondering why we haven't had hundreds of thousands of people fill out the form or email us at info at Thrivetimeshow.com.
three megapoint points before 5 0 4 a.m here's the thing here's the i think that a lot of people think that success exists for other people i think success is like a distant thing it's like oh for them i want success for this show's about other people but it couldn't be about me so what i want to do is i want to share some wins with some clients and then we'll wrap up today's show let's think about um let's think about uh tim johnson
This is audio of Tim Johnson, one of our clients.We were recording a show, and then I mixed that with Leslie Nielsen from Naked Gun urinating, so that's the audio medley there.
But if you do a search right now for Tuscaloosa ophthalmology, he comes up top in Google, and John has his business grown.Yes. We have a show where he talks about growing by 15% in like 90 days.Unbelievable success.Kola Fitness.
If I do a Google search for Joplin Gyms, Joplin Gyms, G-Y-M-S.John, Kola Fitness, have they grown?Yes.Okay, okay.Massive growth, by the way.And then Shaw Homes, shawhomes.com.

Leg her down and smack him, yack him.
That's what you do when you hit $80 million of sales.You gather your closest mastermind team in a boardroom with the finest decor.You have nice chairs.Rich mahogany.People say, well, what do you do when you sell $80 million of stuff?
Well, we've miked the Shaw.This is the Shaw Homes.This was their last meeting.Glenn and Aaron and all the people were there, the leadership team at Shaw Homes.And this is what was said at their meeting.

Multi Clean has like severely ... Kevin?Yeah.Special K. Oh yeah.Oh yeah. I believe that's also a drug reference, so you might want to hold off on that.We're not Rogan's podcast.It's a cereal.Is it?Definitely a cereal.What's wrong with you?
It's a family show.Fine.But yeah, I know Multi Clean is doing awesome.They are ranking super high, which has resulted in tons of leads.They're getting the most business that they've received in a long time.
I rebuke your drug references.
I dedicate this to Special K.

So this weekend I was out, I saw this beautiful rainbow.And people go, what do you mean by that?And you're like, I saw a rainbow.Oh yeah, but what do you mean by that?You watch your mouth. I'm talking about Special K and you're talking about drugs.
You have a filthy mind.And because of that, we're going to have to end this show in a harsh, harsh way. Stop what you're doing and think about this for a second.
What would happen if your company was suddenly able to generate exponentially more quality sales leads?That would be incredible.What would happen if your company came up at the top or near the top of the Google search engine results?
Well, I would just feel overwhelmed with all that business.

Hello, I'm Michael Levine, and I'm talking to you right now from the center of Hollywood, California, where I have represented over the last 35 years 58 Academy Award winners, 34 Grammy Award winners, 43 New York Times bestsellers.
I've represented a lot of major stars and I've worked with a lot of major companies.And I think I've learned a few things about what makes them work and what makes them not work.
Now, why would a man living in Hollywood, California in the beautiful sunny weather of LA come to Tulsa, because last year I did it, and it was damn exciting.
Clay Clark has put together an exceptional presentation, really life-changing, and I'm looking forward to seeing you then.I'm Michael Levine, I'll see you in Tulsa.

You're going to leave energized, motivated, but you're also going to leave empowered. The reason why I built these workshops is because, as an entrepreneur, I always wish that I had this.
And because there wasn't anything like this, I would go to these motivational seminars, no money down, real estate, Ponzi scheme, get motivated seminars, and they would never teach me anything.
It was like you went there and you paid for the big chocolate Easter bunny, but inside of it, it was a hollow nothingness.And I wanted the knowledge, and they're like, oh, but we'll teach you the knowledge after our next workshop.

It's literally, we teach you the brass tacks, the specific stuff that you need to know to learn how to start and grow a business.And I encourage you to not believe what I'm saying, but I want you to Google the Z66 auto auction.
I want you to Google elephant in the room. Robert Zellner and Associates.Look them up and say, are they successful because they're geniuses, or are they successful because they have a proven system?
When you do that research, you will discover that the same systems that we use in our own business can be used in your business.

I learned at the Academy at King's Point in New York, acta non verba.Watch what a person does, not what they say.
Good morning, good morning, good morning.Herbert Kiyosaki, The Rich Dad Radio Show.Today, I'm broadcasting from Phoenix, Arizona, not Scottsdale, Arizona.They're closed, but they're completely different worlds.And we have a special guest today.
Definition of intelligence is if you agree with me, you're intelligent.And so this gentleman is very intelligent.I've done this show before also, but very seldom do you find somebody who lines up on all counts.
And so Mr. Clay Clark is a friend of a good friend, Eric, Eric Trump. But we're also talking about money bricks and how screwed up the world can get in a few and a half hour.So Clay Clarke is a very intelligent man.
And there's so many ways we could take this thing.But I thought, uh, since you and Eric are close Trump, what were you saying about what Trump can't, what Donald who is my age and I can say, or cannot say, first of all, I have to honor you, sir.
I want to show you what I did to one of your books here. There's a guy named Jeremy Thorne, who was my boss at the time.I was 19 years old working at Faith Highway.I had a job at Applebee's, Target, and DirecTV.
And he said, have you read this book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad?And I said, no.And my father, may he rest in peace, he didn't know these financial principles.So I started reading all of your books and really devouring your books.
And I went from being an employee to self-employed to the business owner to the investor. And I owe a lot of that to you.And I just want to take a moment to tell you, thank you so much for allowing me to achieve success.
And I'll tell you all about Eric Trump.But I just want to tell you, thank you, sir, for changing my life.
Well, not only that, Clay, thank you, but you've become an influencer.More than anything else, you've evolved into an influencer where your word has more and more power.So that's why I owe. congratulate you on becoming.
Because as you know, there's a lot of fake influencers out there too, or bad influencers.Anyway, I'm glad you and I agree so much, and thanks for reading my books.That's the greatest thrill for me today.
Not a thrill, but recognition is when people, young men especially, come up and say, I read your book, changed my life, I'm doing this, I'm doing this, I'm doing this.
I learned at the Academy, King's Point in New York, acta non verba. Watch what a person does, not what they say.
