As you guys know, this podcast might not just be for you. It can be for friends, family, or followers from your past, present, or future. They might want to be in the sales This game. They might want to be in the sales industry. They might want to learn from someone that is absolutely crushing with millions of millions of followers in the sales category. So this episode is going to be short and sweet, very impactful. You're going to want to share it, like, comment, subscribe, etc. Because we have someone that's Absolutely crushing it. Speaking in events all over the planet, flying around over 100, 200 times a year to speak and spread his message. Virtual events, live events, teaching and everything between. Without further ado, Daniel G. Let's go. Give us a quick two-minute bio, so we get straight to the money.

Yes.

I mean, it's It's great to be back. I started sales when I was... I wasn't born into sales because I wanted to be a DJ and soccer player, but I've been in sales since I was 14. Started training a sales team by 15 and a half. People are like, Man, how did you get into sales training? I'm like, Well, I've been doing it since I was 15 and a half. I've been training kids how to sell door to door since I was 15 and a half. The same way you fall into sales is I fell into sales training. I was a salesperson for a decade, and I said, Well, shit, let me just start training. I started training sales online, and it started to pick up a lot of attention online. I had a sales agency, so I would publicly livestream myself training my salespeople online. I got my first 1,000 followers, then my first 5,000, then first 10,000. When I got my first 10,000, I was famous because you got the swipe up feature back in the days. Remember, you're famous if you had 10,000 followers with the swipe up feature. I just started doing it now out of responsibility.

I felt that I had the ability to make sales fun and entertaining and also educating at the same time because I said, okay, I'm a teacher basically at the end of the day. That's my job. I'm into sales education. I said, Well, most salespeople are crazy. If most salespeople are crazy, they probably couldn't listen well in school because the teacher wasn't able to hold their attention. I'm like, There's no way I'm going to go on stage and make this whole sales thing boring. When I go on stage, it's entertaining. I make it fun. I make people feel like sales can be fun while they can also make money. This is all we've been doing for the last decade, training and traveling on stages, probably about 100 a year, 250 flights a year for the last five, six years straight. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

All right, since we're going to do a short episode, let's just dive right into it. Why should more women get into the sales category? Why should they be doing some high-ticket sales, medium-ticket sales? Why should they learn sales?

Well, they have all the skills. Shit, I love that you start off with this. They have all the skills that men almost have to train to have. If you think of a woman, they already have the skill of listening. It is hard for a man to listen. They have the skill of caring. It's hard for a man to care because it's in a woman's biological nature to care. You'd rather have a daughter than have a son because the daughter is going to take care of you when you're freaking old. If Dan Fleshman had a son, Bob, well, when Dan Fleshman is 75, Bob might not visit him so many times. So women have, aside from just the intuitive things, like the mother, the eyes behind the end, the intuitional feeling, is that person telling the truth? Women also have these abilities inside of their life that works amazing inside of sales. So when somebody says, Well, I don't have the money, a A salesperson, natural guy is the hunter, and he's like, Well, that's exactly why you should do it. A sales lady can listen and be like, Oh, wow, why not? She has the empathy to discover why the individual doesn't have money.

She can consult them through the sale. The question now becomes, Okay, Daniel, ladies have these things, like caring, feelings, intuition, which is great inside of sales. Why don't they all make money in sales? Why isn't every lady making $100,000 a month? Why isn't everybody a Stormy Wellington or amazing people making a lot of money. It's because I think sometimes their powers turn into kryptonite, meaning if a woman has attention to detail, that also might screw up a woman because she would say, Well, I have to be perfect in order to sell. I have to look perfect. I have to hack perfect. I have to have all the credentials in order to sell because most women have attention to detail, or maybe they overly care too much, and they feel bad, and they feel like it's manipulative to sell the product, and it's pressuring rather than service. So a lot of the superpowers, my job is to magnify them so it doesn't turn into a kryptonite inside of sales.

On the traveling side, people pay you $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 to come speak at their events. That's overwhelming. You're talking about flying 100, 200 times in a year. Someone out there wants to become a mini Daniel G, and hopefully the same size as Daniel G, maybe one day, they're going to have millions of followers like Daniel G. What can they do to start getting paid to speak on stages?

Lock down into one thing, get known for one thing, make people understand, Hey, this individual is in sales training. This person's in branding. This person's marketing. Maybe you can be motivational and you can teach people confidence, but get known for one thing. Don't ever stop talking about it. Learn how to make people money through your brand before you ask for money. I think that has been my branding strategy forever. I'm like, Can I make somebody a dollar without them ever paying me a dollar? I don't think a lot of people think about that in the brand anymore. I've been hired a lot because if you go back to my social media, just like, There's a lot of strategies on how people make money. I give so much more than I ask, especially in the sales I said, I've actually made probably more money for people that have never paid me money as to be my students. I feel good about that because it only has to be a bit. There's so many people inside of the world. Focus heavily on the brand, learn how to give a lot of value. I think it's hard to be unnoticed when you just keep showing up and giving a lot of value in the brand and not asking 24/7.

A lot of times people get nervous about sales. They don't want to post about sales. They don't want to post about their products. What would you say to them if they have a clothing brand or they have a have a snack product or they're a personal trainer, what can make them feel more confident to talk about their product and sell it to their audience?

You have to understand that people wear a sign on their forehead saying, Please understand me, please help me. I wish somebody took into account who I am. I wish somebody can help me with my problems. You probably have a product that can help somebody. You might just think like, Oh, I only have a T-shirt brand. But maybe that T-shirt makes somebody feel some certain way. I think sometimes people sell based on the product they have and not the outcome that it gives somebody. I don't sell I help people live a better life. Sales trading is the vehicle, but the outcome is helping people live a better life. I always say, the identity is don't get stuck up in the price of what you charge and the actual physical product. Get stuck on the outcome that it provides for another individual and realize, be customer-focused. Don't be just sales-focused. Be customer-focused. Customers wear signs on their forehead walking around in life saying, Please understand me. Please sell me a product that makes my life a little bit easier. You also have to understand, sometimes if they don't buy from you, they'll buy from somebody else. Everybody loves buying buying things.

I always tell people, Everybody's a buyer. The reason why I say that is because people don't walk around naked, and then people laugh because I say, They bought clothes, they bought shoes. We like shoes. People buy products and outfits. People buy everything. I walk in, I'm like, The person's a buyer. I can never control the time they buy. I can only control my efforts to show them my product. So realize that people love buying things and people need help inside of life.

There's a multitude, millions of options of what someone could go sell. How can they figure out that this is a good product or a good service or a good person to go sell for?

Number one, track record. I think track record is important. If we're looking at service and somebody selling a service online and maybe you want to close a service for that individual, What is their actual business track record of what they done? Not aside from the sales that they're making with their current product. If they're selling a service on how to do e-commerce, have they built something up where they've already made a brand and sold on e-commerce? Number one. Number two, does the person actually, and this is going to be crazy, does the person actually know what they talk about? Are they product expertise? Meaning, can they give people value for free without always asking for a dollar? I think people that are limited for information that sell courses, you can feel that now online. It's like you just see the lifestyle, but I'm like, and people I was like, Well, if this person scammed me for $5,000 or $10,000, I'm like, Well, shit, I would have never bought from that person. What did this person ever give you? They don't have a podcast. They don't have nothing but just an ad that got ran to you with a Lamborghini or whatever the case is.

Just being consciously aware, does the person actually bring value to the marketplace? I think the third one is, do you actually believe in trust in the product? Would you sell it to your father and mother? Sometimes that's a good question to ask yourself. Because I believe I could sell anything, but not forever. Meaning, if somebody goes to ask me, like Jamil brought into my office yesterday, he's like, sell me this plant. I could sell the plant to somebody. Does it mean... Because when somebody says you have to believe in in order to sell, I say, I disagree. I only agree with that long I disagree in the short term because I can figure out a product and who needs that product to solve their problem. I can find the customer. I could sell a chess board to anybody. If somebody needs a chess board, I can go figure out who needs a chess board. But do I want to sell that forever is the question. As long as the product's ethical, if I don't vibe out with the product, then I think it has a short span. I think you just got to find something that you're like, Okay, this can actually help and serve somebody and I align with the product, then you can do it for a while.

Someone decides. They listen to Daniel G, they watch They watched the Zoom webinar, they bought things, they studied, they got it going on, but their first three phone calls, the person said no. How do they get back on the phone for phone call number 4?

You get back on the phone call by understanding that your nos are learning curves inside of business. Sure, I can go down the road of just saying, Okay, your next one is going to just strike for gold. You're three away from your biggest deal inside of life. Sure, we know that. You play the timing game inside of business, you usually win. However, every no makes you better on the next call because you said, Oh, that person said, No, thank you. I'm not interested. Maybe I asked them for the sale too soon. Every no, a customer is giving you a lesson within the script, regardless if somebody hires me or not, common sense and being conscious inside of conversations should allow you to change up your pitch a little bit differently. If somebody says, I'm too busy, right off the bat, and you cold call them, maybe you should start off your pitch next time saying, Hey, Bob, instead of asking them for a minute, maybe you should change up the script and be like, Hey, Bob, quick. I got about 20 seconds here before I got to head into a meeting and send you over an email.

Because I know Bob's first two objections are going to be, Send me over an email, I'm too busy. Because I made three calls and three people told me that objection, like you said, now I'm going to start thinking, Huh, maybe I should change it up. Hey, Bob, I got about 20 seconds here. I'm busy on my end, too. I'm going to shoot you over an email before you even ask me, just so I make sure I have the right email. What do you need to dive in an email so it doesn't waste your time? It's a little bit of X, Y, and Z. Just being conscious of where your nose. I think common sense can take people a long way if they're not trying to rush it. Again, going back to a woman, woman think about what they're saying, they can write out a better script.

All right, we're going to keep this episode short. Somebody ask a couple more questions.

This is a power episode. I love it.

Investing into yourself. Yes. Why should people spend money on coaching, mentorship, masterminds, etc?

Because it's like a time transformation machine. I hack time, literally. I know people will rip me on this, but I literally evolve into a decade I go into the future into this time machine when I hire somebody that went through all the freaking mistakes. That's all I'm doing. I'm paying for somebody's experience because they went through all the mistakes. And it's so cheap because those mistakes cost them millions. I'm paying one guy $20,000, but he went through $20 million in business mistakes. For me, that's enough because I think business is anticipation, elimination, meaning a smart business person wants to anticipate the problem before it comes. We I love solving problems. That's part of business. But I'd rather anticipate and eliminate them, just like objections, and rather know what somebody is going to say and eliminate them. It puts you through a time machine. That's the that's the quickest thing is that when I pay for somebody's advice, I'm getting put through a time machine.

On the charity side, someone starts making some good money. They made a couple of hundred grand last year, and they're trying to figure out if they should donate to charity. What do you think is important for someone to try to realize that charity is a good component of their life?

Find something in your life That charity makes you find purpose. Number one, it's the biggest reflection of God. It's the most pure thing that you can do. When you give back to somebody else, that is the biggest reflection of God's image right there. You're giving back to somebody else. You're giving somebody else hope. Sometimes we don't look at it like that, but somebody else said, Oh, somebody else cares about me. But I also say some people can give back to charity, and they're just like, Wow, I'm just going to give back to charity, whatever the case is. Or you can find something where it resonates with you. So you want to do it more. For example, and it can be anything. It could be something so small, like going to a school. Maybe you don't have money. Somebody here might not have $20,000 in the bank account, but maybe you have a skill inside of life. I don't know. Maybe you have a sales communication skill or something like that and can go back and go help people, go to a school and go teach kids. Or maybe you're passionate about books, and there's some kids that can't afford books, and you can go make a deal with somebody and Hey, by the way, do you mind if I can broker your books to the school?

Or whatever the case is. Find something that you're passionate about so you could keep fueling it to help more people. Because you don't want to find something that you're not really passionate about because you just don't want to do it once. Just to say you did it. You want to do it with your heart because it'll allow you to keep doing it more.

There's only one question I ask on every single episode, out of hundreds and hundreds of episodes, I've never gotten the same answer. The future Baby G, right? Yeah. You're going to have-If that happens. One Baby G, two Baby G. Who knows how many Baby Gs happen. The future is there. Daniel G goes off to become a multi-gazillionaire. What percentage of your networth do you leave to Baby G?

What percentage of my networth do I leave to Baby G? I would probably... See, this is so hard because right now I'm envision myself having the kid, and I said there's other people inside of my life. When that kid comes in, depending who's still inside of my life, I'd probably The perfect equation, if I would have to give maybe 50% to my kids and then 50% of the people around me that supported my life, if they're still here around me, I'd still give it to 50%. Other individuals, too, I don't think it's perfect, but I probably give 50% and people might hate it. But I like when Stormy said something before this because I was backstage listening to this, I said, It's more so of the character you build inside of another individual to see what they're going to do with the money. I don't think you have to hope that that person is going to do something great with the money. I think when you're focused on developing somebody into a good character, they're going to do something good with that money. If I do have kids, I know if I even give them 100%, I know the character that I built into them, that they would do something great with it.

Because I would never say, Well, I was never born for money, so I'm not going to give somebody money. Our parents and ancestors just came from different situations. That's just my opinion.

Where can people find you, your companies, your business? You got virtual events, everything. What's going on?

At Daniel G. At Daniel G, I think it's just very simple. Yeah, we always travel. We always have events. Me and Dan will probably have a couple of events throughout the year at Daniel G. There might even be something in the future, if you're a lady, right before we just started clicking record. In the future, if you're a lady, I was telling Dan, I think there has to be a lot more people that step up to the plate that can train ladies in sales. I think there's great lady sales trainers, and I want to bring them all together. I want to bring... I think sales has been such a male-dominated sport. And the reason why, here's my philosophy behind not just why women are great salespeople, why women should start stepping up, because more women on the other end as prospects will start becoming decision-makers. So ladies will start selling to other ladies now, because 20 years ago, ladies weren't decision-makers. Now, ladies are becoming decision-makers. They're starting to make money. They're starting to be the breadwinner in the family. So I think it's so cool that ladies can get into sales and talk to other ladies more.

So I think it's my responsibility to bring an amazing woman together after training a couple of million and say, Hey, this is one lady in this industry, and this is one lady in marketing and e-commerce and direct sales and network marketing. Let's all freaking come together, and let's go train everybody with not one intent of trying to bring them inside of our company. It's more so of just whatever company you're in, whether you're a coach consultant, online armature, B2B sales, B2C sales, real estate sales, insurance sales, door-to-door sales, we'll train everybody. So I really want, I think myself and you, Dan, and a couple of other powerhouses can come together and really knock something out of the park that has never been done before. We've seen sales I've done sales tours, but I don't think there has been a ladies, women's-based sales tours. The guys are going to want to come in the room. If the guys are going to hate on us but secretly want to be inside of that room. Probably find your dream wife, too, as well. It's the right room to be in. But yeah, I think it's so cool. And Dan already has the greatest name in the world for it.

So I'm excited for this. I'm excited for this year. I'm just excited, dude.

All right, guys. Thanks for having me. I'm going to have Daniel G on multiple times. That's why we're able to do these short episodes. I always hit him up whenever I'm in the Miami or we're in the same city while he travels around the planet. As you guys know, check him out, Daniel G, across social media. Make sure to have a discussion with your friends, family, and followers about money, and check us out next Monday right here at themoneymondays. Com. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a special edition of the Money Mondays podcast, where we cover three core topics: how to make money, how to invest money, how to give it away to charity. It's very rare that I have the same guest on multiple times, but this is going to be a back-to-back episode, and both guests have actually been on multiple times. So I'm very excited for today's podcast and the back-to-back fashion that we're going to do it in. As you guys know, these podcasts are not just for you. It might be for your friends, family, or followers. And it also might be from someone from your past, present, or future. So as you listen to the podcast today, just keep in mind, it might be relevant to you or a friend five months from now or five years from now that boom, you're like, Oh, man, I should share this podcast with our next guest.

As you guys know, I've been running this commercial free for three years now. All these hundreds of episodes, I do talk about fanbasis. Com and go high level, but there's no affiliate codes or no fancy codes for those things. I just happen to use high level and fanbasis to run the back end of my life and my world, but there's no commercial to be read for you guys. These podcast episodes are under 40 minutes for your listening pleasure because the average workout is 45 minutes, the average commute to work is 45 minutes. This episode will be around 32 to 36 minutes, so it's easy for you to listen to. We need you to like, comment, subscribe, and share to keep everything I just said happening consistently. So we stay the top 50 podcast on the planet. We're number 44 today. We need you guys to keep us up there, and it takes your efforts to do that. Now, without further ado, Coach Stormy, give us a quick two-minute bio. So we get straight to the money.

I'm Stormy Wellington. My new name is I just got an honorarium. My second one, Dr. Stormy Nicole Wellington. I love it. I like to tell people I'm your average Black girl that decided to live an above-average lifestyle, dropped out of school in the 10th grade, teenage mom, ex-stripper, ex-schema, ex-scammer turned entrepreneur through the industry of direct sales. My first success came from multi-level marketing. That's how I learned entrepreneurship. That's how I learned leadership. And now I have diversified, I I think mindfulness is one of the most important things we need, especially in this season. And so I have a community. It's called Girl Hold My Hand. It's all about mindfulness. And I also am a mother, and I'm really getting to a space now where I'm trying to be just a better human to help other people know that you can make money, but what about your salvation? What about what's next? And so here I am with you, excited to share my new journey and where I am now compared to where I was the last time. I love it.

So on the make On any side of this podcast, what do you think holds a lot of girls back from making more money?

I think fear, fear of failure, fear of the responsibility of success. I think that holds a lot of women back. I think also just lack of knowledge. A lot of women don't know that you can learn something new. You could become someone greater. I think procrastination is a big problem. A lot of women put things off because they're mothers or because they don't think they know. Or even how about doubt and insecurity? A lot of women don't, and just people, period, don't have a lot of self-confidence and self-worth. And so why try if I'm not going to succeed? Or why do it if I am not going to be able to maintain it? So I think fear is number one.

What happens for a girl Who starts making more money than her boyfriend?

Oh, my God. What happens to a girl? Well, it depends on the boyfriend. The boyfriend could become insecure because a man is supposed to do manly things. And when a woman is doing financial things, she could seem manly. So I think that that's a dangerous situation to be in. I also think that if a woman makes more money than her boyfriend, she has to learn how to try to help her boyfriend if she loves her boyfriend. A lot of men right now are not as hungry as I'm used to seeing men, not as ambitious as I am used to seeing men. So I think if you're with the right man, you can help him, not take care of him, but you can help him have a new mentality, a new perspective. I actually think behind every successful man was some woman, grandma, auntie, cousin, pastor, sister, someone that pushed him and motivated him to be greater. So I think women, we should be gentle with men and help them more, not shun them and talk about them, but know that they're going through situations, too, that they need our support and our help. So don't get too cocky ladies.

If you love that man when he have nothing and you got something, help him to get something.

What would you say to the man who's in that relationship to not feel so self-conscious and what he can do to level up so he can actually still feel manly even though his girl is making more money than him?

I was just talking about that today. Number one, there are things that most successful women need that doesn't even require money. We require attention. Tell us that we're pretty. Tell us that you're proud of us. You can run our bathwater. You could buy some flowers for $100. It doesn't have to be the Venus favorite flowers. You could support us. You could protect us. You could affirm us. So that man needs to know just because that woman has more money than you doesn't mean that you can't maintain her in other ways. It's not monetary. And If she feels confidence from you, that will keep her with you. When she feels insecurity from you, that's when the problem kicks in. A lot of men that know that a woman has more money than them, they start doing other things to try to tear her down. I've seen men that have women with money Instead of them being proud of their woman, leaning into their woman, they try to make her feel insecure, like she's not pretty or she's not good or she's not great. Why do that? If that woman is with you and she has money, you don't.

Chances are she probably really cares about you because we women, we like nice things. So if that man can't give you nice things and you're still with him, maybe you should start seeing that something about you is still special, minus the money right now because you can get money later.

So you've been in the direct seller business and that whole category for years and years.

Eighteen years.

Eighteen years. What motivates you to stay in that industry?

Oh, my God. I feel like the industry needs me. I feel like as a black woman, they can understand the heart and soul of a Black woman, of a minority woman, because a lot of us as minorities, we have a lot in common, Black, White, Norwegian, Latina. So I think for me, I feel like nobody understands us like me. I also feel like my leadership style and how I create systems and strategies and I simplify things, I don't think nobody knows how to simplify things like I do. I feel like the way I lead with love, and especially in this new season I'm in, I got a lot of God in me more than I've ever had in my probably entire life. Having a spiritual leader who understands the downs, who understands being rich, being poor, understands how a lot of us don't aspire to be an entrepreneur because people make things complicated. I don't think a leader in the industry, not one, simplifies the game like Stormy Wallington. And I also feel like I have a way of influencing and inspiring people to come together. And the network marketing, more now than ever, too, it's about community.

Can you bring people together and keep them motivated or actually inspired long enough to figure out how they're going to make the money one day? Because you may not make money in the beginning. You don't always make money. I mean, I've seen people in there with marketing for years, and they spend more money than they made. And then one day it's like, oh, my God, I got it. That could be three years in, five years in. So I think I have an air about myself in a way of simplifying things and making you say, if she could do this, I know I could do it one day.

So in the direct sales space, some percentage make zero money because They put in no effort. Some percentage make a little bit of money because they put some effort in. Some percentage make some good money. And then they're superstars. They become the Stormies. They become the Alex Mortons. They become the ones like, Oh, my gosh, they're making millions of dollars. What do you think the difference is between that person makes a little bit of money versus the superstars?

Oh, my God. That's a great question. Honestly, I think it has a lot to do with self-worth and dignity. When you look at the successful people in the game, you will find that there was someone they wanted to make proud, someone they even maybe wanted to prove a point to. It could even be themselves. We don't stay in the industry because of money. The way we work, we could go other places and make money. But it's something The thing about having that burning desire to be something and then to duplicate it. Nobody is ever going to be damn freshman. All those companies you run, all the things you do, how you get five days out of one day, we can't duplicate you. But in network marketing, you can duplicate more than any other profession I've ever seen. Like I have my community, Girl Hold My Hand. You could create a community similar to like, Girl Hold My Hand. But if I'm not there, it's not going to be the same. But in network marketing, it's different. So when I look at people in multilevel marketing, It's the heart that we have to become a part of a cause that's greater than ourselves.

You got to be almost delusional because you really believe that I could take this person that's struggling, that's not succeeding in life. They could be homeless. They could be a drug addict. They could be crazy, and I could help them to become somebody new. So you have to really have a deep love, a deep affinity for transformation. And the ones that I see make the most money, you could feel that they are real builders of people like myself I know that you could build a company all day long, but the real legacy is the value that you put in people. And once you change one person's life, like somebody went from homeless or somebody bought a car or they pay for their kid to go to school or somebody said, I was struggling buying grocery. Now I can buy grocery. It becomes like a drug of choice. For sure. And you're addicted like, oh, my God, I want to help her. I want to help another person. I want to help another person. And even if you get bored with that person, it's like, okay, who else can I help? So it's that love and that affinity to build people that I think you have to have in mostly level marketing.

At what stage of a career is it? Brand new, just getting started or already making some money? Should they consider joining Girl Hold My Hand and following along that journey, actually becoming a part of that group?

I honestly think everybody should be in Girl Hold My Hand. Why do I say that? Number one, we teach discipline. Most people who are entrepreneurs that don't have anyone to answer to, they sleep late. So that's a problem. When you are an entrepreneur, I'm sorry, you really have to work longer and harder than when you had a JLB. So number one, we meet every Monday through Saturday at 08: 00 AM. That's a big deal. That's teaching you discipline. Every day? Every Monday through Saturday, we meet at 08: 00 AM live. We read books. We're reading a book right now, Spiritual Hygiene. I serve as a reminder. I'm not as soft and sweet as your typical leader. So I remind you, step into your greatness. You can have a bad Monday, but are you going to have a bad Tuesday? Not if you're a part of Girl, Hold My Hand. So I teach you how to know yourself, how to love yourself, how to embrace yourself. I talk about money. We talk about spirituality. We talk about mental growth. We talk about everything, physical. Everything is about being a better human. And a lot of people...

I was reading John C. Max, The Leadership Bible, and one of the passages, it says, 30 % of leaders stop leading because they fail to grow. So how many people was the leader at one point in their life? We ever see somebody winning and then they stop winning? What happened to that person? Chances are they stopped growing. And that to me is very devastating to see somebody up for years, influential, you're inspired by them, and then you see them and you're like, Man, what happened to you? It's because they stopped growing. And so most of us grow in a container environment where we are held to a higher accountability because somebody's there. Most people don't voluntarily grow. It's a pain that makes you grow. I call it the pain that causes the pivot. It's a community that causes you to grow. We really don't grow in isolation. We grow in community, and there's no community without unity. So you need to get in the right community to continue to grow. That's like your community. People are stretched in your community. They know that they want to be different next year. They may even want to be consistently successful because they want to make Dan Fleshman proud.

Community creates that type of environment, and that's what Girl, Home, My Hand does.

So someone's out there and they listen. They join the group They're ready to go out there. They're ready to get into the network marketing before their friends are commenting like mean. Next day, there's another three friends that are like, I thought they were my friends, but why are they telling me not to do this? Why are they telling me not to do this business? What What would you say for them to block out any haters or trolls?

I mean, first of all, if we want to go deep, Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Jesus is being crucified. That's the last thing he said. Your friends don't know no better. And people normally hate what they don't understand. So you got to know that your friend is hating because of her or his perspective on what the industry is, number one. Number two, that is why you have to stay in a community, in a close-knet environment. Proximity is power because that's just going to happen. Like, it's nothing me, you, and nobody can Whenever you start something new, especially someone who knows you, you're familiar to them. You become somebody new. You're on this new journey. You go tell your family and friends, Hey, I'm starting this new thing. It could be multi-level marketing. It could be, I'm investing in Bitcoin. Anything outside of what they know you for, they're going to hate on it. So you just got to remember, give them grace. They're just being what people are. People are normally haters when they don't understand something. So that's why you need personal development. That's why you need proximity to power.

That's why you need to be connected to people that's going to remind you, I I experienced that, too. Every successful person you find would tell you. There was a time when people laughed at me, too. But I had this burning desire. Like Napoleon Hill talks about burning the ships that could take you back. You got to decide on this new person that you want to be, and you got to give your family and friends and Grace and know that the haters going to hate. You just don't let it penetrate.

So that girl listened to you. She got rid of the haters. She blocked them from their life, and she is thriving. She went from 2 grand the first month, six grand the next month, starts doing 15, 20 grand a month. She's crushing it. But she starts getting pitched. Invest in my hair salon, invest in my company, invest in my restaurant. Starts getting bombarded. What would you say to that girl? Now she starts saving up a couple of hundred grand and people want her to invest? How would you tell her to start thinking about these investments that get pitched to her?

Oh, my God, that's a good question. I wish I would have known that answer years ago. I lost a lot of money. When you start getting money that you're not used to, you buy five Chanel bags, you invest in things, don't even know how to properly assess the things you're investing in. I have a rule of thumb. I don't invest in anything if the person that I'm... And let me have you say the person. I don't invest in people's businesses, not me. I'm not astute enough to know how to evaluate a company to make a good decision should I invest in that person's company? So that's not my thing. Now, I invested with Grant Cardone because he had a track record. I knew my money wasn't going to make or break his business decision. And I think that's an important rule of thumb. If somebody needs your money real bad, I'm not saying that you shouldn't do it, but just be mindful because chances are they tried it before with their own money, maybe didn't work, or they tried before with somebody else money, and they're coming to you, too. A lot of times where people need you desperately and you're the last resort, You got to be very careful with that.

I mean, and I hope not to offend anybody, but I've seen people, including myself, lose a lot trying to bank on people because you could be excited today, but I've given you 20, 30 grand, 100 grand. And then if it don't go well, you're going to quit because it wasn't your money, it was mine anyway. So I'm very mindful of that. Right now, all I really do with my money is I invest in bitcoins. I buy bitcoins with my money. I have some Ethereum, I have some XRP, and I've invested with Grant Cardone. But for the most part, for me right now, that's not something that I would teach somebody to do unless you find someone that can mentor you in investing. I would invest in things that I know for sure has no downside, for real, beside time. I know long as I could keep Bitcoin in the Bitcoin wallet, long as I could hold out, the longer I could hold out, the better I would be. So that's what I say. And again, I'm not making any income advice, but I just know that you got to be careful because people could be motivated to start a business today, and then they lose the motivation.

And now there goes your money. I have millions of dollars that people owe me right now because they came to me fired up and excited about a business. And I believe in their excitement where I knew they really had no strategy, no no plans, no infrastructure, no knowledge, and I'm out of my money. And what am I going to do? It's never coming back. So be careful where you place your money, especially if you don't know how to properly assess businesses.

So my next question is going to be about investing into yourself, into your own mind and self-development. But first, I'm going to talk to you guys about Bitcoin for a second because we were talking about it off camera. So I'm going to explain Bitcoin live and talk you through it while I'm talking them through it. Bitcoin is an inevitable. What I mean by that is there's 21 million Bitcoin that will ever, ever be here. 2045 or before, all the Bitcoin, all 21 million Bitcoin will be mined. Around 2035 to '40, it's actually going to start to slow down dramatically. So most of the 21 million Why does that matter? Why do I keep talking about that? Supply and demand. When you think about how many humans there are in the world and more and more are being created, and as they grew up in a cryptocurrency, NFT, AI society, they will be comfortable buying Bitcoin. Hundreds and hundreds of millions of people will want to buy Bitcoin, but there's only 21 million in total. But wait, 4. 6 million Bitcoin are missing, and they're never coming back. People lost their phones, people lost their wallets, people lost their laptops, people lost their lives.

And every single day, more people lose their lives, their wallets, their laptops, and their phones. And so as 4. 6 million Bitcoin are missing, 4. 7, 4. 8, 4. 9 over the course of time, the supply gets less and the demand gets higher. Also, there's what's called the rounding error. Let's say Stormy has $82 on her wallet, and it's just sitting there on a cash app or Robin hood. She's not really ever going to spend the $82. It's probably just going to sit there. What if 19 million people have $82 on the side and they just don't spend it? It just sits there on their wallet. What if 190 million people have 82 bucks just sitting there that they don't ever spend? That's called the rounding error. More supply is gone. Guys like Chamath, guys like Michael Saylor, corporations and countries, when they buy Bitcoin, they're never going to sell it. Whether it's 100K, 500K, or a million dollars, they're not selling. That supply is gone. So it's not 21 million. It's not 15 million. It's not 12 million. We're actually fighting for 5 to 10 million Bitcoin, what happens over the course of time?

As more and more what's called Bitcoin maximists, very wealthy people, countries, organizations, stewards of capital, buy Bitcoin and put it on their balance sheet, they're never selling it. And so at some point in our future, as we get older and older, the supply will get less and less and less, while the demand will get more and more and more. That's why Bitcoin is the number one performing investment asset in the history of the world. Wow, I didn't even notice. Over 15 years, it's only had a few losing years. Wow. And so when you really think about it, all the roller coasters, all the ups and downs, all the huge swings we see, year after year, Bitcoin wins. So that's why I say Bitcoin is inevitable. I'm not saying for you to go sell your kidney and go buy all the Bitcoin, but you should be adding $100 here, $500 here, and if you can afford it, thousands of dollars over the course of time. The math that you buy, it's all relative to your financial situation. So study it, understand it, get a little bit of Bitcoin, and try to understand what's going on with it, because over the course of time, I believe it's going to end up becoming worth millions of dollars for Bitcoin.

Wow. Thank you for that inspiration and information. Storming.

On the charity side of life, why do you think it's important for someone to find the type of charity that matters to them, whether it's for themselves or maybe it's for a loved one or a friend? Why do you think charity is important in people's lives?

Because we always supposed to give back to those that either represent where we used to be, where we could be. And I know that there was a time I was on government assistance. There was a time where I needed, my mom needed help. And if there was no charitable organizations, we wouldn't have had that help. I have an organization called Girl Hold My Hand, and it's a nonprofit. Every year this year, it was me and Flowrider. We've been doing this for seven years for Christmas. It was so amazing. We took children to Walmart. Oh, I love it. And we actually had 500 kids. He took about 250. I took 250. And they each had $100. That's so cool. And they had to go budget. It was the most amazing experience probably that I had all year. It warm my heart. It made me feel so good not just to spend the money, but to watch the kids, the things that they buy. One little girl bought sheets for her bed and a new pillow, and her sister, they share rooms. They both bought stuff for their beds, and they bought lotion. To see the things kids are buying and knowing that one day they're going to remember me, remember that that woman they gave back.

So I think, number one, it's a spiritual responsibility to never forget where you came from and go back and help those people that represent where you are. Number two, the way you feel, the way you feel within your being is giving back. And then number three, remembering when you was in that place or somebody you know was in that place. And I know a lot of people talk about tax write offs and all those type things, and I respect that, too. But it's something spiritual that happens when you don't forget someone that's in a less fortunate position. Because I know there was time when I was that person. And so we've been running my nonprofit now for nine years. And one of my goals one day in life is to build a transition home for young girls aging out of foster care. I wasn't foster care. A lot of people don't know that up until maybe two, three years of my life. And having girls age out and go to sex trafficking and drugs and strip clubs and all that, that could have been my story if I didn't have someone that took care of me until my mom came home from prison.

So just never forget where you came from and understanding the spiritual aspect of giving back to someone that represents where you could be and maybe even where you should be because of not giving back. I think when you don't do things right spiritually, you got to be careful. God's grace will come off of you. When God grace leaves you, you don't know what can happen after that. Everybody should have some type of nonprofit that makes them feel good, not for publicity or popularity, but for what you feel like in your inner being when you give back.

There's only one question I ask on every single episode, and I've never gotten the same answer before. But also, I've actually never had the person's child in the room when I asked the question like we do here today. So Stormy, over the years, you're going to be accumulating hundreds of millions of dollars, and hopefully, Stormy becomes a billionaire one day. I can see it, I can visualize it, and it's a reality. Yes. What percentage of your net worth do you end up leaving to your children?

Okay, so now, yeah, my daughter is here, right? Thanks, A lot, Dan. So it's just I hear stories about how this man left all his money to the housekeeper or to the lady that took care of him. I wasn't left with anything when my mom passed away. When she passed away, as a matter of fact, she left us with We're dead. I remember when her friend saw me one day, I was like, Hey, where's your mom? She owe me money. I'm like, Well, she's in a mazalium. So she left us for dead. So when I see my kids, I want them to learn the value of earning money because I had to learn the value of earning money. But when I leave this Earth, everything will go to my kids. Everything will go to my kids. What they choose to do with it, I don't know. But that is my goal. My goal is to leave them everything that I have. And I have three kids, a third, a third, a third for all of them. And you're right. I'm going to move on one day in life to make billions of dollars. But as I'm alive, I want to see my children know what it feels like to go and earn it.

Because I know once they learn the principle and just the work ethic behind going to get something, they will understand how to get it themselves. People think I spoil my kids and I take care of my kids. No, I don't take care of my kids. My twelve-year-old keeps using DoorDash. I'm taking it off his phone today. One day he spent $200 in DoorDash. So I'm literally going to take my credit card off his phone today. That's my assignment for today. But my daughter, I don't just spoil my daughter. I don't just hear, Here's your allowance. And people probably think that because I need her to learn how to maintain and how to build and how to become for herself. But when I'm Dead, they're going to have everything. I have my charity, but I would not... If I was on my deathbed and I knew I was going to die in the next 20 minutes or 10 minutes and my kids was not going to get my money, that wouldn't feel good. So they're getting everything that I have. We go to them three.
