Let me tell you what REALLY happens when you land that first KILLER deal.
It's not just about the money.
(Though watching those 20-50% royalty checks hit different...)
That ONE deal becomes your fucking North Star.
Your new standard.
Four years agoโฆ
One partnership changed EVERYTHING for my family.
Literally moved us from a small farming college town in Northern California...
To my lifelong dream of living in paradise.
(Writing this to you right now from my home in Kauai, Hawaiiโฆ)
That's what ONE deal can do.
And now?
Every potential partnership that comes after...
Has to measure up to YOU.
Not the other way around.
spent TWO YEARS drilling this into my thick skull: Once you taste what a REAL partnership feels like..
.
Where YOU'RE the one bringing the value...
Where THEY know you're doing them a favor...
You'll never go back to being the guy who's just "happy to be there."
Look...no shameโฆ
I see Ronin out there...
With all the training.
All the templates.
All the proof this shit works.
They KNOW what they should say on coffee dates...
How they should carry themselves...
How to get that partner to WANT to work with you...
But something shifts when the Zoom notification bell ringsโฆ
And theyโre face to face with Bobby BusinessOwner.
The energy changes.
That Ronin spirit gets... smaller.
I know because I used to do the same shit.
Travis pulled me aside yesterday and said something that hit different:
"These Ronin have everything they need to crush it. The knowledge. The skills. The ability. Some of them just need someone to show them what being a TRUE partner looks like in action. Someone to help them unleash that Boss Ronin energy in the real world. But I don't have the bandwidth to do it myself."
He's right.
Theyโve got the warrior spirit.
The training..
Now they just need that ONE deal to prove it to themselves.
That ONE deal that could change everything...
Just like it did for me.
So here's what I'm thinking:
What if I helped some of you land AND close that first KILLER deal?
The one that changes your whole fucking paradigm.
That makes every future partnership have to prove themselves to YOU.
Quick poll (be real with me):
On a scale of 1-10...
1 = Marcus, I'd rather get kicked in the nuts
10 = I'd rather get SPARTA kicked in the nuts than miss this, Marcus
...how interested would you be in having me wingman you through this process?
Drop your number below.
Because that ONE deal isn't just about making money.
It's about becoming the kind of person who doesn't need to chase deals anymore.
They chase you.
I just want you to win,
Marcus
P.S. If you're already operating at this level, this ain't for you. Keep being a boss.
P.P.S. But if you're ready to raise your standards forever... maybe pay attention to this one.
