RSVP If I put on a class on how to get people to promote you... And your programs, products, or services (big ticket, small ticket, or in between) ...without needing to be paid ...and I put on the class no charge 👉 Would you come? Let me hear from you 👇and if I get enough interest... I'll set it up. Rooting For Ya, Travis PS I got my book to #1 by getting influencers to endorse my book without needing to pay them. PPS I was also a top ten (in the whole marketplace) on Clickbank for 5 years because I got people to promote me and I only paid AFTER they sent sales. FUN note: I was getting 30,000 visitors a day on normal days.

Passive Income: The Key to Lasting Wealth Most of the cast of Gilligan's Island had no idea the show would last beyond their initial contracts. They were paid per episode, and their income stopped after the first five reruns. But one cast member thought ahead. Dawn Wells, who played Mary Anne, negotiated a small royalty for every repeat. The studio agreed, thinking the show wouldn’t have much of a future. They were wrong. 50+ years later, Gilligan's Island still airs and Dawn Wells’ royalties have grown into tens of millions of dollars. The lesson? Passive income is the true key to building lasting wealth. A smart deal today can pay dividends for life.

“I own Hulk Hogan, Hulkamania, Hulkster. I’m one of the few guys who own the name, rights, trademarks, and licenses. Vince (McMahon Sr) goes, ‘I want you to be Hulk Hogan.’ ‘What does Hulk Hogan mean?’ ‘Ivan Putski for the Polish Americans, Bruno Sammartino for the Italian Americans, Chief Jay Strongbow for the Native Americans, and Hulk Hogan for the Irish Americans.’ Vince (Sr) gave me the name. Vince Sr dies, Vince Jr takes over. Right when Hulk Hogan takes off, we get a call Marvel comics. ‘You’re infringing on our mark. Reasonably similar. We’re going to sue you, put you in litigation.’ We let them have the name, didn’t license the name. I only had to pay them one-tenth of 1%. That went from 1985 to 2005. In 2005, it’s over. Now, I can’t use Hulk Hogan anymore, and I’m red hot in 2005. I went to my attorney, ‘I don’t give a damn what deal you make, you’re going to make a deal because I need the name.’ What happened was, I got a one-year extension and I had to pay them 30% of everything I made. Movies, TV wrestling, they got 30% of everything, but if they decided to sell the name, they had to give me first shot at it. They couldn’t sell the name or do anything. Fair market value. All of a sudden, Marvel Comics gets in a bitchfest with WWE about intellectual properties, that they can’t re-air old Hulk Hogan matches. Marvel Comics lost. They owe Vince $35 million. They made a huge mistake. They said, ‘Instead of paying $35 million, how about we give you the Hulk Hogan name.’ I heard about it and went, ‘You screwed up now.’ Now, I don’t have to pay $35 million for the name, you have to sell it for me for fair money value,’ which is only $750 grand. I bought the name back. Vince wanted to buy the name from me. ‘Nah, I got this one.’ I bought the name back and I own everything.“ - Hulk Hogan

Just hit the button for my auction on my Facebook page. I’m auctioning me until tomorrow afternoon. I talk about a lot of different things on FB, mainly things I’ve been through myself or have a lot of experience with. For example, I’ve coached women through relationships (went through a divorce and figured out my own shit); worked in hospice and been with a lot of folks at the end; been a marketing and web writer; and had a less-than-wonderful relationship with my mother. I decided the auction would be for time instead of a topic because I don’t know what people need help with right now and who might step forward. I thought about leaving the auction friends only, but again, I don’t know who needs me. The post needed to be public. Also, no hiding and no assumptions. Whatever happens, happens. Travis’ post about having fun was the straw that broke me through. It really is about fun and being detached from the outcome. I had a blast writing it, so even if it “bombs”, I’ve done a new thing! If you’re thinking about holding an auction, just do it!
