3 Value Bombs
1) You have to measure what you treasure.
2) Every successful entrepreneur has three things that the world doesn’t have. They have a to-do list, a calendar that they have control over, and a vision.
3) Most companies don’t know how to identify and adapt the best ideas to their businesses. Implementation, not ideas, is the real key to success.

[1:09] – Clay shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Success is easy to achieve if you just have a proven plan.
[6:12] – Building turnkey marketing systems.
- If you go to Thrivetime Show and click on the testimonials button there, you’ll see that for any business, you have to have a turnkey way to generate customers.
- Make a list of ideal and likely buyers. Ask yourself who on the planet wants to buy from you.
- Know what the 3 most effective ways to reach out your likely buyers are.
[4:17] – Hear from Ryan — a Fire Nation listener for 7 years! He listened to a Clay Clark episode way back in 2020, signed up with Clay Clark, and seen a 238% growth in his business.
- Ryan’s company Peak Business Valuation helps businesses determine their value
- Ryan looked at 2 pages worth of testimonials before deciding to fill out the form.
- One of Clay’s employees reached out to Ryan after filling out the form, gauged whether he’d be the right fit or not, and then Clay discussed with him a written plan for the success of his business.
- The statistical probability of finding a successful entrepreneur over a decade would be 4%.
- Escape the norm and re-conform your brain to proven systems that work.
[9:50] – Turnkey hiring systems.
- Once you define your likely buyers, ask yourself, how are you going to reach out to these people?
- If you give someone a present, and you put it in a Tiffany’s box, it’s likely that they’ll believe the gift has a higher perceived value than if you gave it to them without any box at all.
- If your business depends on you, you don’t own a business. You have a job.

- Every successful entrepreneur has three things that the world doesn’t have. They have a to-do list, a calendar that they have a control over, and a vision.
[23:41] – Viral growth systems.
- Make sure to have a turnkey system that develops a “wow” moment.
- Ask yourself, when someone fills out a form on your website, or calls you, or gets put on hold, what happens?

[34:13] – Clay’s key takeaway and call to action for Fire Nation!
- The missing ingredient for all of the 1000+ clients you may have worked with is pig-headed discipline and determination.
