Now I've spent millions of dollars on self-development. It was the greatest thing I ever did. I just learned this one simple thing. Taking a little bit of time each day to work on me. Not my business. Not even my wife, not even my kids, just on me. My mind is not my friend. It's never been my friend. It's never told me good things. I have to tell my mind how things are gonna go.

I mean, it might even take five years. I mean, I don't know. I mean, but it will work out at some point and your story will get told and you will change millions of lives. I've never seen anyone not have crazy success who didn't say that. Like, I mean, if you quit, you're finished. And so anyway, so the reason why I didn't quit is because I just, I listen to guys like you. I mean, I don't know.

I'm an easy sell. I listen to guys like you. You're talking about there's this new life. And I'm like, okay, I'm going to get it. I'm not going to stop. And dude, I wasn't anybody special. I wasn't great. I didn't deserve it more than anyone else. I didn't have any tools except for perseverance, man. I made it in sales because I never quit. I made it in sales because...

You know, like, you could tell me no, and it, like, would be the night time, but I knew that, like, I was going to get you on November 13th. Like, I knew no one wants to stand in front of something that wouldn't stop attacking. I remember in the movie Rocky where Apollo Creed, you know, is just beating the hell out of Rocky, right? And he beats the hell out of him. I mean, literally.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

And then he's, like, telling everybody he won. You know, he's, like, turning around. I mean, he looks around, and Rocky gets back up again. And, dude, Apollo Creed, like, it takes his head. Dude, and Rocky comes back and beats the hell out of him. And, dude, at that moment where Apollo Creed turned and looked and was like, this guy's inhuman. That was what I want.

That's the look that I wanted from my family and everyone who doubted me. I wanted that look. And I got it. I got that look. I got it. I know it. And I don't need to ask them how they feel. I know that's the look that they gave when we rose up and we built this. And everyone that's watching this, they can build the same thing.

And you know what I love about you, Russell, is you're a good, godly man that wants everyone to make it. Dude, we don't compete with nobody. We create. I got haters everywhere. They're like, I'm going to beat that guy. I'm like, dude, I don't even see you, bro. Like, you don't even exist. I create. I don't compete with nobody. You're not competing with anybody, Russell. No one's you.

No one can be you. I've watched how a lot of these guys treat their family. They don't treat their family like you. You're not saying category is you. You're not in there for just money. Money is easy to make money. You just don't quit, build a good product, hire a sales team. You're going to make a lot of money.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1449.028

But being a good person and keeping it and not losing yourself along the way, losing your humility, becoming ungrounded, that's the problem. That's what needs to be taught. The marketing game is easy, dude. You've got a good product that helps people. You learn how to market it. You're going to sell the shit out of it. It's just the truth. The question is, will we be able to keep it? You know?

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1510.967

Yeah. And I'm going to tell you, this is kind of comical because I was watching you. I'm not and I'm pretty sure because you're methodical and you probably you're a planner. You probably had your stuff planned out, but it was coming up like on New Year's Eve and you were doing this like drop. Does that make sense? Or you were doing this thing, be ready for the new year.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1532.662

And I was like, number one, I don't have anything to sell you. OK, but I had been building an audience of people that love my content, people that were watching our stuff. We had built these raging fans. And here it was. It was December 31st of 2020. And I'm sitting here going into 2021, and I'm like, I don't have anything to sell.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1556.548

And I'm kind of watching you, and you're kind of talking about this thing. It's running out. There's a timer. And I'm like, I didn't know how you put this timer on screen. I'm like, I don't even get – I don't understand all this magic yet, right? But what I did is that my niche at that time was automotive. Okay. And then we would go wide over the next two years.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1577.285

And then now we're super wide, but I know super niched at that point. And I grabbed my phone. And I got on YouTube and I dropped this video and I said, hey guys, it's Andy. Listen, I just dropped and I'm releasing it tonight, my zero to 100,000 fast training course. Now let me explain.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1597.077

It's how to go to 100 grand quick as an automotive sales pro and then go there again and again and again and again and again. You guys don't make 716 grand my last year selling cars. So I had to get to my first 100, my second 100, my third 100, my fourth 100. I don't care what 100 you're trying to get to. I'm going to show you how to get to your next 100 quick.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1612.97

And so it's a 21 video training module. It's 14 hours. It's high impact. It's all me. And it's the strategies you need to scale right now. This course is going to be $599. But for the next 24 hours, I'm going to sell for $299. So if you're watching this right now and I have this guy, I paid him like $1,500 to build me a little link deal at that time with a payment gateway.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1637.903

I said, there's going to be a link below and I just need you to click on it and you guys can buy it. And you guys get the $2.99 special price tonight to go into 2021 and make it the best year of your life. And I didn't have the course made yet because honestly, I didn't know anybody would even buy it. And I went to sleep with my wife.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1658.9

We woke up the next morning and there was like 156 grand in the account. Yeah, but I was like, man, I think we're going to make it. I think we're going to be able to figure this out. And then so for the next week or two, I would go on every day and I'd be like, guys, everybody's messaging me. They're like, don't change the price. I get paid next week. My commission comes in on the 10th.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1683.88

So I've decided I'm going to run it to the 15th, right? So until January 15th, I'm going to keep the $2.99 price up. And I kept dropping these videos, but I kept like talking about this training course that I had. And we would run up about a million dollars in sales in 15 days on a course that I didn't make yet, that it was the pre-release.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1704.79

Then I would disappear and I would go make a 20 video module training course that would be me pouring my heart into these people that spent a million dollars with me that wasn't the major. And then I would release it in about two weeks. And everyone that got it said, dude, best course ever had greatest $300 I ever spent. By the way, it wasn't 10 grand, wasn't 20, it was $300.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

171.867

Okay, well, number one, I'll tell you, when everybody was standing and they were clapping and crying is because you told the truth. We all lose our way along the way at some point. And most people, they quit. And you didn't quit.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1726.474

which we'd make about a million dollars. I mean, we ran this thing. The crazy thing is after I did that, you say, well, what's next? Well, number one, I was just like, Hey, everybody in the world, this is a $600 course, but like they're wanting it. And a lot of new people coming in need it. So I'm just going to keep the price of two 99.

The Russell Brunson Show

I was going to go up, but now I'm not, I don't even know what I'm doing, Russell. I'm just like, I'm just like talking. Yeah. By years you're going. Yeah. Well, I'm watching you and I'm like, dude, I'm trying to be like Russell. Right. And then, and then, If that's the zero to 100,000 fast, right, what's next? What's got to be the 100, the 400? The guys that want to go over 100 to 400, right?

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1766.496

The advanced stuff, the closing, the face-to-face negotiations. And then I really built that one out. I had it ready, and then I released it. Everyone that bought the first one because my product was worth more than what I charged them for it, which I didn't know was the ladder. We kept talking about this ladder and I'm like, what is this ladder? Which was the value ladder.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1790.349

They would buy the 599 course. And then there was the 997 phone course after. And then there was the live training for 997, the event ticket. And then there, and then it just kept going and that would be the evolution of the Elliot group.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

187.213

and you reminded yourself that you're worth it, that all of this pain was worth it, that you're gonna prove everybody wrong, that I doubted you, and you got a lot of haters, and you've done a lot of things, and sometimes you're doing great, and this, this, this, this, this, but you don't always get to stay the king forever. And so when you got hit, it hurt. And most people quit when it hurts.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1878.852

You're sharing a magical thing that in the era that we live in, there's nothing greater than learning how to market. Because even if you're good at sales and I'm the best at sales, I mean, marketing is everything. And nobody knows how good I am at sales. If I got a sales team sitting here with no leads, I'm dead. Or the wrong leads. We're dead. Yeah, marketing is the key to any business.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

So whether you do it organically or paid, but doing it organically is very tough. It really is.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1924.409

Yeah, well, I think even I've seen you doing a lot more organic, but you don't stop your paid. Your paid is the engine. Your organic is the long game. And I think, honestly, as things evolve, you know, I mean, look at Tony Robbins. How's he a legend? Because we can look back and see Tony's been doing this for 40 years. I can see Tony in his 20s training right now on YouTube. I mean, I saw him.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1947.753

I mean, he's the GOAT. There's no doubt that the guys managed to weather everything that's ever came his way. And so like when I'm 60 and you're 60, I mean, your organic will still be sitting out there on YouTube. If you die, your children right now can go to YouTube and see how their father lived 20 years after you're dead.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1967.263

And so like, you know, like there's some things that, you know, I really like about organic. And honestly, when I do paid ads, you know, people usually go check out my organic stuff. You know, I don't know, like, what do you call that? Like a digital handshake or something like it's like a handshake. It's like they kind of go to like, you know, see what's what's this guy about?

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

1987.835

Like your organic page is not your highlight real ad video. So I think that having an organic page, you know, is important. So, you know, I think you need to do both. I think that listen, I think marketing is scary. You know what I know about that? If you're scared, do it scared. Okay, do it scared. My saying that it's changed my life is do it scared.

And I always say a good marriage is like it starts out really good and then it gets really hard and then it gets really beautiful. And most people never make it to really beautiful because they never make it through the hard stuff. And you just made it through your hard part. And dude, you're gonna be on fire for the rest of your life.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

226.301

So you shared where winners live, where quitters quit, where everybody quits. And so I just wanna say like that right there, that's why everybody was like, that guy just told the truth. Okay, I love the strategy. I love the way you win. I love what I should do when I'm marketing. But what do I do when I don't believe in myself anymore? When the whole world's against me, everything's falling apart.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2260.847

Yeah. So, well, growing up, you know, we all watched the boiler room on wall street, right? I mean, if anybody's into sales, like you guys, you guys watch this stuff. I love that. I love camaraderie. I love it. I love people pushing each other. I love energy. Everybody loves energy. That's why energy drinks are everywhere. Everybody loves energy, right? It feels good.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2289.182

The frequency of an environment is everything. And as being a sales leader when I was younger, dude, the sales rhythm of a company is super important. And so I call the environment of any sales team a hero-making machine. And it's my job as the leader of my company, forget being an owner or whatever. I'm the sales lead. Okay. Yeah. I'm the owner, but I'm a sales leader.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2308.318

I'm doing anybody's company right now. And I can shift and change the environment and the rhythm of the way things work because I'm the sales boss. Okay. And I know a couple of things. Number one, You got to keep it fun. You got to be unpredictable as it sells. That's the reason why cash gifts, doing pushups, working out, who can hit the first deal of the day.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2326.254

You know, how much can we get up on the board by noon? All right, noon, everybody stop. Everybody, every hour, get down, do 30 pushups, right? Get back on the phones. Let's go. You know, having an environment that every day is unpredictable makes people want to come to work and have fun and doesn't even feel like a job. See, salespeople, number one, their job is to take the stress out of the sale.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2346.413

Their job is to take the pressure out of a deal. Stuff's expensive, okay? I mean, it's just the way the world is right now. It's expensive. We don't want people thinking about money. We want people thinking about the results that they get when they spend their money. Money gets traded for results. So I decided to create an environment, a hero-making machine, a culture of winners, winning, and

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2365.832

Right. When people come in here, they can feel the energy and the vibes of the street. So when you walk in here, all lights are on your nose. There's neon lights everywhere. It's super cool. Feels like a club, you know, and I'm not real like some of my guys wear suits. They're dressed nice. You know me. I'm always want to cut off because I'm cool. Like I'm chill. I give me the phone.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2383.237

I'll shut anybody down. I come on. Give me the phone. Give me the phone. Give me that. I can wear a Speedo. I'm good. It doesn't matter. This stuff right here, this is skill, 25 years experience. Let's go. I want them to feel the magic, the belief, the energy. 80% of sales is belief. I've got to keep the belief flowing through the office.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2402.144

I'm walking around making sure that I'm looking for that guy's eyes that's not believing today, that's doubting, that maybe is forgetting what we do in this office. Right. And I'm looking for that guy so I can snap him out of it real quick. Right. And that's what that's what a sales leader does.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2418.493

And so basically our environment here every day, usually every hour on the hour, we all get down to 20 pushups. Every time somebody makes a sell, they ring a bell. Right. So there's bells ringing all day long. It's on our board. You know, it says lives change. It's not a revenue board. There are revenue boards, but it's lives changed.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2440.049

So I'll say, hey, guys, today we're going to change 70 people's lives. How many can you commit to? Eva, how many can you commit to? Ian, how many can you commit to? I can do eight. I can do six. I can do seven. Come on, man. You can push it. You can change 10 people's lives. Eva, pretend. And so as I'm doing these things, I'm not like pushing them about making money.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

245.833

People that used to believe in me don't anymore. I'm questioning myself. My wife's kids look at me like I'm crazy. They're saying they believe in me. I'm not sure if I believe in anymore. And then you grab a hold of somebody. It's like, dude, this is who you are. Freaking wake up. And by the way, that's what you did for me in 2020.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2459.959

I'm pushing them about changing someone's life, getting someone to feel. I can't get someone to experience what I'm not experiencing. I can't get them to be what I'm not. I can't get them to see what I don't see. You know, in sales, it's a superpower to make people see the unseen. And so basically, like this is going on all day long. It's like a magician. It's magic. Okay.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2478.743

And basically, it all starts with one person that's decided how the hell this place is going to operate. And then I decide this building, you take everybody out of it and people out of it. It's just an empty building. Okay, but you put me in it. I go around here. I crank up this music in this place. I put the neon lights up. I put a gym down here. I call the rules. I call the shots.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2499.757

No negativity, no BS, no drama, nothing but winners in here, right? This is who we are. This is how we live. Our job is to live this way. Most people can tell you what they do, but they can't tell you who we are. I know who we are. And I remind them who they want to be and who they are when they're here with me. And dude, like that thing has created this company that it just runs on its own.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2524.185

It churns. And by the way, I've programmed since day one. They're all leaders here. And so what does that look like? Companies all around the world reach out to us every day and they say, Andy, how do I build a badass sales team like yours? Okay, well, number one, you can get on the training and learn how to sell to yourself because nobody's going to respect you if you're not great at sales.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2542.409

You can do that step one. Step two, you've got to be a leader. Self-leadership, you've got to lead yourself first. Because if you can't lead yourself, no one else is going to let you lead them. And then secondly, now you lead others. Number three, you make leaders that build more leaders. So we do all three of these things here.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2556.814

And so a lot of people want to come out and they want to see it with their own eyes. Okay, so every day, everybody is on the phones and we're dialing, but also we have companies flying out here constantly that are like coming in here and owners of companies are walking in here and they're like, oh man, like I see exactly what we're doing wrong right now. Like, this isn't what our house looks like.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2578.968

And so they will leave here and they will go back home and build their sales cultures. And, you know, I always say this. If a company's not doing well in sales, who's in charge? That's all I need. Just show me who's in charge. Whoever's in charge is the reason why it's not winning. People want to win, but people need to be led. And so we have really good leadership around here.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2604.443

I've decided day one that I wanted to own my own company. I didn't want to work in my company forever. I love working in it. but I need to work on it to continue to grow it. And the only way that I can really work on it and work on the machine and not in it is to build everyone in the company to be elite. So when you come here, number one, the first piece of paper you sign is a piece of paper.

And so I just want you to know, when I started here, my life changed when I bought the KBB, the broker blueprint was you, it was Dean Grassiosi and Tony Robbins. And I would spend $3,000 on a course that would forever change my life. And so I just I want to say, like, had you not, you know, been involved in that, I wouldn't know who you were.

It's a middle toughness way. And it says that I can push the hell out of you. And by the way, people don't like come in on Indeed and they're like, oh, what's this job about? Like, you know what we're about. So like, you know, I'm going to push the hell out of you. If you come here, You know, I'm going to positively peer pressure the hell out.

Positively peer pressure you to be your best self every second, every day. And so like they know what they're signing up for. And so that's why the people that weren't that they come here because they love it. You know, you would love it here. You loved it here. You were like, dude, this is great. Everybody's a winner.

Like, and by the way, this is one of the biggest, hardest things I've ever seen in any company. Most people can only have one alpha in a company. You've got one alpha. A hundred of them. I have a hundred alphas housed in one house because of respect. We built a rule of respect in this house. No one's better than anybody. All of us here are underdogs. All of us here have each other's back.

We're all brothers. We're all sisters. We're all family. And anyways, and by the way, I have our core values on every wall in here.

The Russell Brunson Show

2699.267

and core value number one i've got 23 core values core value number one is god like one thing that we all align with in our whole company it's it's not about religion it's about everybody here when i when i ask someone you know when you come to work here you don't have to believe in god But is God important to you? And it's important to me that I'm around people who believe in God. I really is.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2721.968

I'm not saying I can't be around people who don't believe. But the biggest problem I see that companies do is that they hire people based off their performance, and they don't hire people based off whom they align with. OK, I'm sure, Russell, you've had a guy in your office before that was a really high producer, but he didn't take good care of his wife. He wasn't a very good father.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

2743.181

You know, he wasn't he didn't cheer other people in the office on who were winning. You know, and you're like, you know, I got like I just I can't I can't roll with that. You know, and so one of the things, again, to live the life you want to live, you've got to be able to tell people things you don't want to hear. And I'll get a lot of crap.

The Russell Brunson Show

People are like, oh, you've got to believe in God to work. No, you don't. You can do whatever you want. I'm just trying to tell you I'm hiring people who I align with. Who I align with. If you align with my values, I can teach you skill. But I can't make you have a good heart. So it's just you can feel the love in this office.

Yeah, so hero-making machine. It's the only – that's the best word I can – people say cult. Yeah, it's a hero-making machine. People call it a cult, but it's culture. It's just all a culture of winners. And by the way, also, I want to say one thing, and I think this – I know you know this, but you can look back and say, okay, that makes sense now.

People always ask me, how do I know, especially since we're talking about sales and how do you build a great sales culture, how do you know if it's the right salesperson or not? Well, here's what I've learned. Pain is an insurance policy for a great salesperson. The more pain, the more struggle that a salesperson has been through, the higher their chance of making is. Just don't ever forget that.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

283.54

I was watching a Tony, by the way, just so we can be completely clear how quick some of you change your life. You always talk about like everybody's good at something. And then if you're good at something, now you just have to get known, which is called marketing. Right. And then if you have a good product, then you have to learn to sell stuff. Right. One to many is your game. Right.

Underdogs that have been through a lot, Those people don't quit when it gets tough. Those are the people that fight with you. Okay, we're having a big push. You got people trying to check out at five o'clock. Those are people that's had an easy life. Those people will stay with you till midnight, two in the morning. Those are those underdogs.

The Russell Brunson Show

And so anyway, so if you're like, yeah, you know, my mom left when I was a kid. I'm like, tell me more about that. Okay, hey, my dad beat me. Tell me about that. Hey, my girl, she freaking didn't believe in me. How'd that feel? How did it hurt? Good, okay. You know what? I like you now. Because those people, they have something to prove. Most people are dangerous.

2875.64

I don't want to be around people that don't have anything to prove. I'm trying to prove to my family, my team, God, everybody, every day, you know, that there's new levels in me. And so I want to be around people that are also trying to do that. So just remember, pain. Pain is an insurance policy.

Well, listen, let me give you two very, very fast things. Number one, everyone that you coach, they change and become a better person. Everyone watching this, at some point, you're going to change in your life and you're going to grow. Don't ever change back. Dude, if you want to know how to win forever, don't ever freaking change back. I mean, I would write that down. Never change back. Period.

Secondly, don't ever let your fans outgrow you. This is a big one, okay? When people believe in you, don't ever let them outgrow you. Russell, there's a reason why I'm always trying to get in better shape. I'm trying to, no, I mean it. I'm 45. I'm trying to stay in great shape. I'm always trying to be a better parent. I'm always trying to be closer to my wife.

I've always sold one to one. And so I was watching Tony Robbins. I was getting motivated. I didn't like who I was. I was looking for a change. And then there would be this, this pitch, which I didn't know what pitch was. And it was like, Hey, if you want to change your life, if you're feeling different and seeing things different, you know, like, and do you want this new life? Like go for it.

The Russell Brunson Show

I'm trying my hardest to get closer to God. I'm trying to be a better leader. I want to be proud of me. I want to be proud of my business. I want to look in the mirror and I want to like what I see. I want to help change other people's lives. I don't ever want anyone to outgrow me. I know the way people are right now in our social media world. Everybody's looking for everything.

They're moving really quick, man. So this self-development journey, this growth journey can never stop. If you want to know when your time is up, when your fame is over, if you want to know when your business is going to die is when the people behind you outgrow you. In the beginning, you're going 60 miles an hour and they're going 30. Everybody's like, wow, look how fast they're going.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

3050.733

Then all of a sudden they catch up to you and they're going 60. And when they're ready to go 70, if you're still going 60, they're going to pass you or smash into the back of you.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

3058.58

And that's why, like right now, man, like I'm like trying to keep every freaking edge that I can to stay elite as hell, to keep my word and to keep my promise to people that our goal is to be greater until the day we die. So I just wanted you to remember that, like, like if you're going to build something great, there can never be a cruise control. The second you cruise, your business is over.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

3079.858

Finished. So I just want to finish with that because don't ever let them outgrow you. Don't let your family outgrow you. Don't let your kids outgrow you. Don't let your team outgrow you. But like just don't ever stop growing. Keep inspiring people. If you can keep inspiring people and you can keep changing, I promise you you'll never worry about anything. Ever.

So it's a secret hack that I feel like it's kept me a little bit alive in a time where, you know, you feel like you're starting to get stuck. And I'm like, OK, OK, babe, come here. Let me show you some more love. Let me show my kids some more love. Let me take it's like I'm not trying to make more money. Who I become will determine what I earn. Chase the man, not the money.

But I'm telling you, if you'll run this human excellence game, you will freaking annihilate everybody because you're so magnetic and inspiring that people will freaking love you. And guess what? If someone falls off, if you're inspiring, there's always someone else jumping back on. Yes, there's 8 billion people.

So just want to give you that because if anybody's watching this at the end, they're like, what's a hack to stay on top? Well, if there is a hack, don't worry everybody, I'll grow you. Keep inspiring people. Stay psycho.

And somehow I just, that was one to many. And I would buy you were in it. And you would talk about like Tony and Dean were talking about this. Like everybody has a specialized skill. If you do, people will pay you. They'll cut the check for speed to learn what you know. You know, if they go in a year and it'll take them, you know, 10 years to learn it.

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

And I was like, well, I'm really good at sales. And so like, I decided to be the sales guy. And then I was like, how do I get known? And I was trying to understand the marketing aspect, but like I had no marketing brain. But basically you have to get known either through paid or organic.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

354.034

You have to get known because if you have the best product in the world, but nobody knows who you are, you're going to starve. And I started watching. I was like, man, I got to get known. And so I honestly started on YouTube because YouTube would change my life because I was looking at how to change my life. It started on YouTube. And then I was like, oh, wait a minute.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

373.027

Like if I searched on YouTube to change my life, like how many other people are? And then I started realizing that YouTube and Google owned each other. And so I went to Google and I would type in like car sales training. And if anybody were to type in car sales training right now, you're going to pull a video of me. And he would say, it'll say 22 million searches, but like I'm the first. How?

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

393.886

How did I get there? Well, honestly, I just went and I typed in car sales training and it started pulling up videos. And I was like, how do I become those videos? And I was like, oh, look at the titles of those videos. And I just started going over to YouTube and I would make that the title. And I would teach that title. It'd be like, how to sell more cars.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

And I'd be like, oh, I mean, how to sell more cars. Let me tell you about it. Hey guys, Andy Elliott. Yeah. If you guys want to learn how to sell more cars, that's what this video is about. By the way, I'd always say this is a value added video. This isn't about entertainment. This is about changing your life.

The Russell Brunson Show

This is about like your one event, one speaker, one, you know, one YouTube video away from a breakthrough. And I think this video is that video for you. And I would literally just start spitting off how to change people's lives. And I did it for free. And I want to tell you something, Russell.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

464.514

But I would start and I remember I was giving away all this free content on YouTube and people were like, oh, this is great. Well, I was putting out better free training than most people's paid training. So at the time, Grant Cardone was in the automotive space. And so I knew what his training program was because I bought it. I watched it and I was like, okay, well, I paid for this. I saw it.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

You know, it was old videos. It was like 15 years ago. I was like, dude, I'm going to record videos right now on today's market. And I'm going to be like up to speed and I'm going to be on fire. I'm going to be training fun again. And I'm like, I'm going to have people get this for free and we're going to become raging fans. And you see like Alex Ramos, you do. You've seen all these guys do it.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

504.914

But I didn't know those guys yet then. I just gave away all my content for free. And for one year, I would make three YouTube videos a day. I know that's extreme. Yeah, a day. But like, I didn't know. It was like, you know, no one knows who I am. So it's like, I'm thinking like the more videos I put out, the more that they'll know me. And so I just started putting out as many as I could.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

528.37

But the one thing I did right was in the middle of every video, I would say, hey guys, if you need help right now, shoot me a text, 918-210-0254. I didn't have a final Russell at the time. I didn't have anything. Honestly, it was my personal cell phone. Like, this is so crazy. I put my number out. I made these videos. And then after a couple months, I'm sitting there one night, 2 a.m.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

554.733

in the morning. This guy calls. I was like, hello? And he's like, hey, man, I want to see if I can get some help. And I'm like, Dude, this is what I wanted. And then I remember we started getting three leads a day. And I just couldn't believe it. And I was like, okay, if I could sell a $2.99 course to three people a day, it's $1,200 a day. Started $3,000 a month. I started thinking in my head.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

575.211

And then we started getting 20 leads a day, 50 leads a day, 100 leads a day. We average 1,500 leads a day now organically off YouTube. Honestly, I can't handle them all. I mean, totally transparent. We have so many leads. But I realized as I started that Google would send a YouTube video to every person that searched for something.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

598.778

If you Google anything right now, it's going to serve you up a YouTube video. And so if you go to Google right now and you type in Car Sales Training, Andy Elliott will pull up. Now I'm trying to crack sales training as hard as I can, which really we're in the leadership and even business development. But it's just I'm known as the sales guy.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

614.766

So I'm trying to take out as much organic SEO sales stuff as possible. And you know what I learned, what I love from you is that the game is always changing, is that there's no set rules. And as much as you think you understand the algorithm or you understand this or that, really no one understands anything. So you need to go as hard as you can. You need to have your hand in everything.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

634.554

And you're in the paid marketing game, and you're really good at it, and you're the best in the game. And if anybody in the world is going to have a funnel, they're going to sell one to many, and they're going to do paid marketing. If they're not learning from you, they're absolute idiots. But I will tell you that it is a time right now where we are alive, where social media is free.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

653.038

And if you're not doing it, you're an absolute fool. And so the greatest thing that I would do is that I would do it and then not stop doing it. And that's probably the greatest – I would tell you we're here where we are today. And by the way, if you see my shirt, it says, to live the life you want to live, you have to be willing to tell people things they don't want to hear. I would –

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

674.887

change my life by hearing a hard truth from my wife that she said, you're not being the man you're supposed to be, it's time to rise. And I would tell that message a thousand times a day to everyone I talked to.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

689.016

Look, dude, if you're lucky enough to have one person in your life that'll tell you the truth, they're not going to tell you the things you want to hear, the things you don't want to hear, but things you don't want to hear are going to be things that will change your life.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

698.061

And I would just run this game that, dude, like in order to get the life that you want, you got to be willing to do the things that you've been avoiding. And I just hammer that crap. And we all know it's true, right? But I would tell the truth. So when I got out on the internet, everybody's trying to be cool. I wasn't trying to be the cool guy. I never took pictures in front of a Ferrari.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

714.989

Never took pictures in front of a mansion. I never did any of that. Matter of fact, I never even showcased my life. All I did was I would get up and be like, dude, are you ready to change your freaking life? But I'd be like in their face and I'd be intense. And by the way, the hate came from everywhere, but also it woke people up.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

731.806

And people are like, dude, I don't know who this guy is, but he's alive. This guy's on fire. You know what I mean? I don't even know if I understand his message yet, but the guy's clearly stirred up and pissed off about something. And you know what? Like he's catching my attention. And so I always say like you got to be willing to stand out, be different, make relationships that others can't.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

750.096

And so like that's how our whole journey would go. So we would post on YouTube every day. I didn't even get on Instagram until about – Two and a half years ago, I think I didn't even know that Instagram was important. And Bradley was like, yeah, I get on Instagram. And I'm like, was that like Snapchat? And he's like, no, it's like Instagram. You got to get on there. I was like, that's for kids.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

767.225

And he's like, dude, it's not. You got to get on Instagram. So we got on Instagram and then we got on LinkedIn and we got on TikTok and we got on Facebook. And then I just I started to hire a media team. By the way, the first three years I shot all my own content. This is me every day. Hey, guys, what's going on? It's Andy. And I did this. I mean, so like everybody's like got through.

The Russell Brunson Show

Andy Elliott’s “No-Plan-B” Path to Building a 9-Figure Sales Machine | #Sales - Ep. 38

I see people brand new getting in the space. They got their own video guys and all this. I'm like, bro, like I don't have money for any of that. No, dude, I was shooting this right here. You know what I mean? Like that video guy can make you look cool and you can be fake and actually be nobody and he can make you look cool. There was nobody making me look cool. I was just yelling at that camera.

The Russell Brunson Show

And so I would say every one of you has an authentic self. Right. Like Russell, you're an authentic you. Someone can all these guys are trying to mock you right now all around the world. They're trying to model you. They're trying to mock you. They're reteaching what you've taught, but they're not you. That's the greatest thing anybody can ever learn is that, dude, you freaking be you.

Be unapologetic about being you. And, dude, don't try to be like anyone else. Yeah, you can learn from everybody. You got to have high human excellence. You got to have high standards. But, man, you be a psychopath for your beliefs. And don't freaking sell out for no one. And along the way, everyone's going to tell you, chill out. Everybody tell me, man, listen, dude, you better chill out. Okay.

Nope. I'm going harder now. They're like, you better chill out. But what I do is I wear my heart right here on my sleeve. So my heart's here. I tell people, I'm like, you listen to me. I'd rather you freaking hate me and change than like me. Or I'd rather you hate me and get better than like me and say the same. And so like, I just started to tell people the truth.

And dude, we would build a nine figure business over a four or five year period of time. Really, November of 2019 was where I bought your training program. November of 2019. It is May of 2025 now. So it would be five years ago. In two years, I didn't make any money. That's the crazy thing. That's how this game works.

Yeah, dude, it pisses me off. Like, honestly, listen, every occasionally I get a guy like, oh, I bought Russell's program. I made all this money now. And I love that. Like, you know, I'm like, oh, man, wow. I'm like, but that wasn't my story. My story was I got my teeth kicked in for two years. We didn't make any money. I didn't know what the hell was going on, but I didn't freaking quit.

And, dude, everyone that doesn't quit, that keeps learning and keeps self-investing and spending money on themselves, eventually they freaking make it. It's just the truth. But I would tell you, if you don't get known, it doesn't matter how good you are at whatever you do.

Everybody needs to know who you are, what you do, how great you are at what you do, and where you're at, how the hell they can get a hold of you. And if that's not out there, you're screwed.
