Do HAND OUTS help people long term? By Gallant Dill

Sometimes help isn’t always helping…

I have given away lots of money to strangers and people I know. In the end, 99% of the people I did this for never left the place they were currently in.

When you want to truly help someone, you educate them… Not give them money…

When I started coaching people who were damn near at rock bottom, I literally started seeing insane growth patterns in mindset and financial means. I didn’t give them money, this was me showing them how to get out of their own way.

As a business coach and mentor, I have charged and have given away my services for free.

75% of the ones who paid took action and got insane results.

100% of the people I trained for FREE never listened or applied any of my teachings.

I even did an experiment where I gave out over 1,000 FREE courses and only 3% showed up.

The old saying is you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink is pretty accurate.

You give a poor mindset person $100, they will come back asking for more.

The whole point of this post is to give you some proper insights on how to actually help people.

Next time you are about to give your money, truly figure out if it is actually helping someone or if it is just a temporary solution that has no end.

The Reason Most Entrepreneurs Are Broke By Gallant Dill

What I am about to say will offend some people, but it needs to be said!

This is something I have learned over the last 9 years and working with thousands of different entrepreneurs.

The reason why you aren’t making money is because the services you sell SUCK!

Before you get all mad, hear me out. I have sold services that suck in the past when I was first starting out. You don’t just wake up an expert. I am guilty! What I mean by “suck” by the way is a service that your clients aren’t happy about.

Not being happy doesn’t mean they wanted a refund, not being happy can mean you never heard back from them again. When you sell services people actually want or enjoy, they tell their friends and come back. It is that simple!

If 50% of your customers don’t come back, that’s not a good sign and you aren’t doing enough.

Listen, today I am going to give you some FREE million dollar advice on how to stick your customers so you don’t have to suck!

Step 1…

First thing you wanna do is truly know who your customers are. You can’t sell a service well if you don’t know who the true interested buyer is. Do your research and figure out your perfect ideal customer.

Step 2…

Come up with your irresistible offer! Create an offer no-one would dare turn down! Stack up services and products, people love bundles. Run great specials and get customers talking.

Step 3…

Create a USP. A USP is a unique selling proposition. This is what makes you unique. If you wanna stick out in todays crowded market place, you have to be different. You don’t have to be way different, you just have to have some notable things. Here is an example… Wendy’s fast food spots don’t have the best burgers, but they are easily recognizable by the way the patty is shaped like a square. Stuff like this sticks out in the consumers mind and makes it easy for your brand to be remembered.

I could go on for days about scaling and growing your business, but I want you to truly understand that businesses don’t fail. It is the people that fail either in operations or understanding of the marketplace. I see it every single day.

Don’t get sucked into thinking you can’t improve and you are trapped.

Stay on top of your market and continue learning and trying new things and you should be just fine!

I will see you at the top! -GD

The TWO Transformational Steps I took to go from $20,000 to $100,000 a month as an entrepreneur By Gallant Dill

This information can and will change your life if you apply it.

These are the steps I took to go from being a 6-figure entrepreneur to becoming a 7-figure entrepreneur.

Please listen up and take notes if you have to.

For years, I was stuck at the $10,000-$20,000 a month income as a freelancer/consultant.

I could not figure out how to scale up to save my life. I would raise my prices or add a new service and nothing seemed to work. I was at a complete loss for growing and don’t get me wrong, that is still good money, but not enough to truly live that lifestyle I had always dreamed about. I am sure some of you will roll your eyes at this statement and I am sure some of you who are in this position now will agree.

A couple years ago, I decided to go on a learning binge where I stopped focusing on making money and started focusing on new skillsets and new information. I did this for at least 6 months. During that 6 months, I not only grew as a person, but I also learned everything I needed to know in order to reach those new levels of success. From that period in time till now, I became a lifelong student to knowledge.

Even now with income goals of a million a month, I still spend between $1,000-$5,000 a week on mentors and new information/trainings.

So, STEP 1 for changing your life is to open your mind and realize you know NOTHING! The old saying goes is that the smartest man in the world knows he knows nothing and the dumbest thinks he knows everything. Don’t be afraid to invest back into yourself! You will never lose the information and skillsets you acquire! Becoming the Swiss army knife in your industry will open up more opportunities in your future! I personally spend most of the day acquiring new information. All my sports cars don’t even play music, they only play mindset and business MP3’s. So just remember, the more you learn, the more you earn!

This brings me to my next transformational step!

You cannot, and I repeat, cannot pass this one up! It is crucial!

The next step I needed in order to become a millionaire was having a BULLETPROOF MINDSET.

Along your path to success, lots of bad things are gonna happen that will make you want to throw in the towel or slow down. You can’t! I have endured great pain along the way to the top that would throw me off the path of success for months. You can’t let ANYTHING slow you down! You have to remain strong and positive at all times if you want to succeed and to succeed fast! I swear to God that almost every single day some negative stuff is thrown my way. I have learned to ignore it and stay focused on my goals and winning. Get away from anyone who contributes to the drama of your life and only get around people who are positive and inspire you if you want to keep the mindset going.

Success isn’t an impossible thing! Get out and learn as much as possible while maintaining a healthy and positive mindset, and we will probably be neighbors soon!

I look forward to meeting you one day and know you’ve got what it takes.

The 5 Things You Will Need To Become A Self-Made Millionaire By Gallant Dill

You have to read this, it can change your life!

I am sure you have seen stuff similar online written by a blogger who makes $50,000 a year, but I am going to tell you the stuff you ACTUALLY need to break over $100,000 a month. This is coming from someone who makes over $100,000 a month, most months. Even I have some slow times of the year, but if I needed to ramp it up, I could hit any number I want from knowing these key factors I am about to share.

So listen up…

The first thing to becoming a filthy stinking rich millionaire is to have a LARGE NETWORK. I have opportunities pouring in everyday since lots of people know my name! Ever hear the old saying “your network is your net worth?” Well, it’s true! The more people who know your name, the more you will win at the game! What if I told you that we are all one phone call away from being a millionaire? Would you believe me? Listen, this is a fact! You have just been calling the wrong people and selling the wrong service. I have been on many million dollar calls with people. I also have been on plenty of broke a** calls with people that never amounted to a turtle sh*t.

So, start adding people on all your social media accounts and start networking EVERYWHERE right now!

Next…

If you want to truly be successful, you have to have SKILLSETS! I love having many different marketing skillsets, so I am never limited to certain type of work. I have started dozens of businesses and always have different opportunities speeding in like a red Ferrari.

Skillset examples-

  • Copywriting
  • Marketing
  • Sales
  • SEO
  • Photography
  • Web Design
  • PPC

Remember, the more you have to offer, the more valuable you will become! I try learning new things every single day, and later on in this article I will elaborate a little more on this topic. So, don’t ever limit yourself to one thing. Make sure you are the swiss army knife and not the butter knife!

This next secret is extremely important!

You will have to have DRIVE! Dude, you could have all the skillsets in the world and know everyone, but without drive it won’t even make a difference. I am driven almost 24/7 to get out of bed and crush goals! You can’t have a lazy bone in your body if you want to be successful, unless you are a super genius like the ones you read in comic books, which I doubt. Drive is what keeps you going when you feel like giving up. People ask me why I have so many exotic sports cars and my excuse is so I can stay driven. To be honest… I have never said that before until today LOL. Just remember, success doesn’t mix with laziness!

Okay, okay… We are down to our last two, so I need to spice it up a bit!

The success key to the fortress of riches is….. KNOWLEDGE!

The more you learn, the more you earn! I used to HATE READING with a passion, but I could never break past $100,000 a year before reading. I kept seeing ultra successful billioniares like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett talk about reading all day, so I said I would give it a shot. It was honestly the best investment I ever made. I now spend 3–6 hours a day listening to audio books or reading. I have a rolodex of online training courses I watch religiously as well. I watch don’t tv, I watch trainings. I don’t listen to music, I listen to books on business and skillsets as often as possible. Like right now, this weekend I was invited out on the lake. Instead, I am practicing my writing here in this article while listening to trainings on copywriting. If you have ADD or ADHD like me, start small! I don’t expect you to be able to pick up a book for 6 hours. When I first started out, I would read for 5 minutes at a time and work my way up. It took months to be able to read for hours on end. So don’t get discouraged. If my high school drop out self can do it, so can you. So invest into yourself and never stop growing/learning. The dumbest man in the world thinks he knows everything and the smartest man thinks he knows nothing.

Last gold nugget of the day is….

Being able to NOT GIVE A F***.

I am being serious! On your road to riches, people are going to try to tear you down! Friends and family will doubt you! You will lose money! You will have to learn to ignore everyone and stay focused. Anything and everything will go wrong, but you can’t quit. Just know with every failure, you are one step closer to the top. By the way, “failure” isn’t even a real thing. I call failures expensive learning lessons. Nothing more than lessons that make you stronger. Everyone I knew doubted my first businesses and even talked about me behind my back. I didn’t listen. I have been attacked too many times online to even care these days. So, have thick skin and don’t worry about what other people are saying about you. No one can say sh*t at family reunions when I pull up in my McLaren. I have never once seen my haters at the bank or at the Rolls Royce dealership.

Anyways, this article is drawing to a closing and I hope you enjoyed reading. I wish someone would have told me these gold nuggets ten years ago when I was first starting out.

P.S. I write all of my own material and would never hire someone to write for me. To speak with me directly, go to GallantDillMentoring.com

Things To Look For When Finding The Right Business Partner

These tips can save your business and your sanity.

My biggest mistakes and regrets in life were teaming up with the wrong people and surrounding myself around talkers and not doers for so long.

If your friends aren’t winning and motivated, then you need a new circle FAST.

The first few businesses I started, I lost due to bad partnerships and lousy decision making.

My partners were the “wantrepreneurs.” They had no money and they talked a big game on topics they knew nothing about. I always fell for it since I didn’t have mentors and didn’t read much.
Things to look for when trying to team up with someone after 9 years of learning from my own mistakes.

Pull out your pen and paper and take notes, because this information is priceless and can save you millions.

First…

Strong Track Record– This meaning they have real previous success or experience. They might have worked a job in the field you are needing help on. This could even be where they started or sold a company in the same demographic you are jumping into. By them having a strong track record, you will be able to pivot to the next level a lot quicker and learn through them versus learning through your own guesses and mistakes. I love seasoned business partners who can help lead the way.

They Have To Have Money– Doing business with broke people isn’t the smartest decision, because they are obviously not the most financially inclined partners to have. When money starts pouring in, broke people are more prone to switching up. This meaning, they start changing and most of the time not for the better. People get greedy when they have never seen any real coin prior. I have experienced this first hand and have also seen them get lazy and more content once they started making a certain number. You don’t need to be baby sitting a partner once funds start rolling in. If you have a business partner who is constantly wanting a cut immediately after business has been conducted, RUN. The business needs to be ran on what’s best for the business and not on the lining of your pockets right out the gate.

Team Up With People Who Are Well Connected– You ever hear the old saying “it’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know.” Well, it’s true! If you want to soar to the top, make sure your new partners are well connected. Your network is EVERYTHING in business. My partners now KNOW EVERYONE. This makes it extremely easy to raise money or land new clients based on referrals. I have seen plenty of businesses with great ideas fail strictly on them not having the right connections. This should never be you! Think about the show Shark Tank. Some people come on the show not even needing the money. They are strictly on the show to land a shark specifically for the sharks connections. Don’t forget your network is your net worth.

Emotional Intelligence Or No Deal– Listen, if your business partners are quick to pop off or lose their cool, you are in for a long ride and not a good one. I had a partner one time who used to cry every time she got stressed and could never think clearly under pressure. It was like working with a 2 year old. NEVER team up with hot heads and people willing to throw it all away over respect or pride. These people are stupid. SUCCESS has no feelings or emotions. I keep a pokerface 24/7. People that I can’t stand think we are best friends and I want to keep it that way. Be everyones friend or at least associate. This is a small planet and you don’t want to be black balled in certain areas over small petty relationships. Be cool with everyone.

They NEED To Be Driven– If you have to constantly motivate your partner, you won’t get very far. The motivation needs to be a team effort. My partners motivate and inspire me daily to keep leveling up. My partners will straight up say to my face if I’m being lazy at times. Many nights we stay up talking millions and goals till the sun comes up and the wive’s get pissed for not coming to bed. I could NEVER do business with someone who isn’t driven and wanting the most out of life.

Positive Vibes Only– This might be the most important tip of them all. If your partner isn’t a positive person, run as fast as you can to the hills! Positivity is the biggest key to success. The work place has no room for negative vibes. Poor attitudes can completely wipe out an entire business. Make sure the person you partner up with spreads great energy and stays away from all drama and negative clout. I love working with happy people who are grateful and thankful. I could never work with rude and entitled individuals who can’t listen without getting offended or emotional. People who carry bad attitudes are a horrible look for you as well and can damage your reputation.

Remember to smile!

Make sure to remember everything I told you in this article. It is very important and can save you years of headache. I only speak the truth and don’t want you teaming up with the wrong people. I could talk on this subject for days. If you are ever in need of a business coach or mentor, feel to reach out to me at GallantDillmentoring.com or GallantDill.com. I appreciate you taking out the time to hear me out and look forward to one day getting to work with you.

I will see you at the top!

The Secret To Obtaining Everything I am going to let you in on a little secret. One that changed my life. PLEASE read this fully.

Want to know how I stay motivated and kept pushing even when everything seems to be against me?

Want to know how I tricked my mind and acquired all of my wants?

Here you go my friend…

Back when I was broke, I would go online, look up and gaze religiously at everything I have ever wanted.

I would inspire myself into tears.

Beautiful Mansions and Fancy High-rises.

I would imagine the smell and waking up in these places.

The respect people would show me. My life being completely different.

The pictures I would take here. The parties I would throw!

I would dream about it and be obsessed.

I had dreams of wearing Rolex’s almost every night.

I even stopped wearing watches or driving until I was wearing and driving what I wanted.

I would pretty much trick my mind into thinking that I was already in these places and that I was just taking a break.

An extended vacation you might say.

Even when I didn’t have 2 pennies to rub together, I told my mind I was successful and that a week from now everything would be better and that any call coming in could be my ticket to the top.

Everyday I told myself ”Gallant, this is the day you make it!”

When the calls never came in, I would tell myself I must have been too busy and missed the call.

Tomorrow will be the day.

Even after losing my first big business, I didn’t give up on the visions.

Ask anyone who knows me… I stare at the things I want for hours every single day.

I still look up mansions 3–5 times a day and in July I will be moving to one.

Not to rent, but to buy!

I have never been so close to acquiring one!

The big house I am living in now was my old vision. That I made a reality.

The watches, the cars, and even my dog all the way down to the shoes I wear at one time was on the back of my computer screen being stared at by a broke dreamer.

Every time shit got tough, I would think about all of these amazing things that I had wanted and how it easily outweighed all the negative things in my life and that I needed to get back to focusing!

I never let go of my dreams!

Slowly, the ramen noodles turned into filets.

The Target shirts turned into Nieman Marcus attire.

They used to laugh when I would pull up my car.

Now, people run to take pictures and point.

Some days, life feels like a familiar dream because I saw myself here years ago.

I used to imagine riding through The Domain in the nastiest car in sight and having everyone break their neck when they’d hear the engine roar!

When people asked me how it feels to acquire these things, my response is “about damn time!”

I wasn’t working this hard for anything less.

I am obsessed about constantly leveling up.

You truly haven’t seen anything out of my corner.

I feel like I have barely scratched the surface.

The information I am constantly swallowing up and the people I am surrounded with make it easy to level up.

Level up your knowledge. Keep improving. Keep understanding.

Every level of your life will require a different version of you.

If you haven’t leveled up in a while, it’s because you aren’t ready.

Don’t be scared of change.

You control the direction of your life and everything is possible.

Tonight or tomorrow, spend a good hour staring at the things you want. When you feel like giving up, just imagine that hour of visuals and keep going. You might catch yourself staring at the things you want 3 times a day like therapy, but that’s completely fine!

I still do it!
