  • “Stop or My Mom Will Shoot” was a “troll” by Arnold Schwarzenegger to get Sylvester Stallone to take the roll and suck at it

  • Glenn’s last event cost $850,000 to put on, and it made $820,000, but it brought him a lot of publicity

  • His first event was 12 people “that I begged to come,” and he made one sale, which was his first 1-on-1 client for about $12k for the year

  • He started this in 2008, and it’s a bit like poker in that every event is another hand…so he pushed his $12k into the next event, and that put 50 people in the room and he made about $15k…

  • With that money, he bought a $10k program and learned how to put 200 people into a room for two days and made $100k

  • Then he hired that coach for his $50k coaching

  • Like a poker player, he goes all in, and sometimes he makes it big, sometimes he barely breaks even…

  • But at each event, he adds to his database of prospects that he can market to, and he closes 5% to 10% of them, thereby creating income security

  • In his 15+ years, he’s only had one big loss on an event, and it wasn’t because of the celebrity, but it was not a fit for the audience

  • When something is free, only about 50% of the registrants will make it
