Meet the 10K Success Story

Max: All right, welcome back to the channel, Max Tornow here, I’m seating with Nathan and Guerby, two of our clients who just cracked 10K a month. Very, very nicely done from you guys, congratulations, and we thought we’d share a little bit about their inspirational story and how they got there, and how we helped them there, and what the future might bring for them. So if you like the idea of being free, being your own boss, if you like the idea of making money in a secure way, you can’t get fired and all that at the same time, while working from wherever you want, whenever you want, then this video is for you, pay attention. Let’s get started.

Narrator: Have you ever wondered whether there’s more the life than a boring dead end nine to five job? Have you ever dreamed about breaking free, traveling the world, making good money and just enjoying life? No more office dress code, no morning commute, no boss. This channel is for you. So here’s to your freedom.

Max: All right, we’re here in Germany right now. A little bit outside of Frankfurt, this nice little hotel room and thanks for coming by. I really appreciate that.

Nathan: Yeah.

Max: And yeah, so tell us a little bit, what exactly are you two guys doing?

Nathan: So, we two help busy people who work in office jobs lose weight, basically. And we help them keep it sustainably and not fall back into the yoyo effect.

Max: Nice, and you’re doing it in Germany only, right? ‘Cause since you guys are two German folks, that’s why our English, even my English is really bad right now because it’s speaking German all–

Nathan: I have this massive German accent.

Max: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s fine, it’s fine.

Nathan: Yeah, so we are folks–

Max: Just make sure you have the microphone.

Nathan: That’s why we focus on the German market.

Max: Yeah, yeah, makes sense. Okay, cool, and you’re doing that together, you’re two best friends, good friends?

Nathan: Yeah, we are best friends since school and yeah, no, we are business partners, amazing.

Max: Nice, sounds cool.

Breaking the Fitness Expert Myth

Max: All right, and here’s my point, is a lot of people ask that always, how did you get started with your expertise in that? Do you have a certificate or did you study it or were you just someone who’s generally into fitness?

Nathan: Yeah, I don’t have any certificate at all. I was always into fitness and losing weight, counting calories and all the stuff, but I never actually thought that I could build a business from that, never.

Max: Love it, here’s what’s interesting, not to offend you or anything, but you don’t look like the super shredded, big Instagram fitness kind of guy that a lot of people see out there. You’re just a genuinely fit guy that is into nutrition and who’s into proper exercise. How did you, ’cause a lot of people are probably watching this right now and they’re like, oh, I’m good at fitness, but I don’t have an eight pack yet. I’m not under 10% body fat, and they think they have to be perfect in order to teach that. But your niche is a little different, you basically don’t help people necessarily become Mr. eight pack or anything, you just help people generally with losing weight, right?

Nathan: Yeah, I don’t think you have to be the master or staff. I also had, for our start, like this feeling, okay. I have old friends from school who are much bigger than me, like much bigger biceps and who am I that I can teach people in this, about your program and all these like sheets to analyze your strength and stuff. We are very good at, you only have to be two, three steps ahead of the average person. And that really helped a lot, yes.

Max: You helped him a little bit as well with his mindset, I’ve heard earlier.

Guerby: Yes, yes, I just want to add, it’s not about how you look, or how tall you are, how big you are. Actually, it’s about what you have in your mind and you have to stay focused so you can achieve anything, what you like, so that’s why I don’t look like a fitness man, like I don’t have, I have muscles, but not as big as you may think, but it’s about this one. So you keep going, be strong and even it’s down, so you have to get up all the time and yes, I’m his partner. Actually, I was studying aerospace engineering.

Max: We talked about that before, pretty crazy stuff, yeah. So you were actually able to do that while at the same time studying?

Guerby: Yup.

Nathan: Yes, I am.

Max: It’s possible, he’s actually doing it right now. So he literally–

Max: Can you give him the mic?

Nathan: He literally had an exam today.

Guerby: Yes, I had exam.

Nathan: So I was cracking the 10K while he was studying and still give me like advice on mindset and stuff, and still like, look at our clients, like we have 20, 21 clients now. And yeah, that’s how we roll.

Guerby: So everything is possible, yeah.

Max: That’s a beautiful thing, because like, if you do things together, some of our clients are doing it together and it’s always cool because you’re, you have someone else that is kind of striving together with you and it’s pretty cool, but anyways, so about the 10K that you’ve cracked last month, tell us a little bit about how did you get your clients because you’re not famous on Instagram, you’re not famous on Instagram, you don’t have a YouTube channel or anything, and a lot of people think like, oh, you have to have a big social media channel. Let me pull up your Instagram right now. How many followers do you have on that?

Nathan: 80.

Max: 80, like eight zero?

Nathan: But we don’t get any leads from Instagram, we just started…

Guerby: 86 now.

Max: 86?

Nathan: Yeah, it’s growing.

The Manual Lead Generation Strategy That Works

Max: So how are you getting people to become your clients?

Nathan: Yeah, it’s the manual lead gen, how you teach it and the FBM program. And yeah, we learned how to reach out to people in Facebook groups, I think the most of the people are from like these weight loss and fitness groups. We just post there and get them into the DMs and then yeah, a little bit back and forth. And then we get them on a call and use all your scripts that you provide everything, it’s perfect. So you just have to like–

Max: Just do it.

Nathan: Just do it, yeah.

Max: Just execute it, yeah, I love it.

Nathan: Just execute the scripts, and you know?

Max: Nice, easy peasy. And that, and I keep saying this over and over again, get your first 10K a month, and then after that, we can start with some branding things, right? So that’s what we’re doing in the advanced program, that’s probably also the things that we’re gonna work on together with you guys, do more branding, really, really go build an Instagram account from there, build a YouTube account. And again, like it’s so much nicer when you’re already making 10K a month and now you’re building your brand as opposed to someone who’s building their brand for months without getting any money back, without getting any return on their investment. It’s nice to, like how would you feel you’re already making 10K a month as you’re building your brand, as you’re creating content? So it’s actually fairly easy peasy.

Nathan: And now we have the money, now we can have a look okay, what were we gonna do? Maybe some Instagram posts or we are not quite sure yet, but yeah, we have the money in the bank. We are getting money from clients in payment plans and stuff, so we don’t have to worry so much.

Max: It’s always coming in.

Nathan: Yeah, it’s always coming in.

Max: So you starting on the side, are you doing anything on the side as well?

Nathan: No, so actually, I studied economics. I was always like this hustling guy, but there was no real direction.

Max: It was pretty good.

Nathan: I’m very good in hustling, but sometimes I lose like vision and stuff, but I was like, on six hours, eight hours a day, just hustling stuff. I was not really interested in.

Max: For the studying?

Nathan: For my studying, yes, and–

Max: Did it, real quick, sorry to interrupt you. Did the studying economics help you with building a business? Was there anything where you said that was helpful?

Nathan: Not at all, to be honest, not at all.

Max: I ask everybody that I see that study, they always said this.

Nathan: Because you think like economics and business is, it’s also business included in the studies, but still it doesn’t have any impact on the business that I do now. So yeah, doesn’t make sense.

Max: Crazy.

Nathan: Yeah, so okay, I studied, but then yeah, I started the program and I thought to myself, okay, I give myself a break in the study so I can focus on FBM. And yeah, now I’m at the point where I think I’m not going to continue with studying because I don’t like the direction because, like these business studies, you always end up in an office job where you have your boss and you don’t have freedom, and that’s the point. Yeah, I really love freedom, I really love to sleep in like 11.

Max: What does your daily life look like?

Nathan: Yeah, we have our clients daily. We talk to them and yeah, I do the lead gen. We meet up very often, almost every day, like brainstorming sessions, but it’s like easy peasy. It’s amazing, so freedom is there, also if the Corona time is over, I want to go to Thailand for four or five weeks and just work from there, that’s like a dream I always had.

Max: Now, nowhere else, sounds good. You know what it’s funny, I’m officially also still just pausing my studies–

Nathan: Still?

Max: Yeah, I can’t remember, I think in 2013, I stopped, I was studying Latin and English because I wanted to become a high school teacher. And I remember I kind of called, I think I called the office in my university, and I’m like, oh, you know, I’m thinking about pausing it because I dropped out to build my own business, my first business, my dating advice business from which I think maybe, you know me actually. And funny enough, like, they’re like, yeah, you can pause it. And I’m like for how long, how long can I pause it? They’re like, however long you want. So I’m like, when I’m 60, can I come back and continue that? They’re like yeah. So I might just do that, it’s just out of interest. I don’t think so either, but it’s kind of funny to think about it. I can just come back and continue my Latin and English studies. It’s kind of funny. So yeah, you wanted to say?

Breaking Free From the Traditional Path

Guerby: I just wanted to add it’s a, I think many people have asked, have a dream. They want to achieve this special thing or to be this one person. And it’s not about, it’s not only, there’s not only one way to get there, mostly I think I have to study, then I have to work, but if you start working, you’re not like right, but you’re always running the circle. You want more money, but you have to work more. If you work more, you have more money, but then you have to work a lot more to stay there, so–

Max: Rat race.

Guerby: Yeah, rat race.

Max: It’s got like a hamster wheel type of thing, yeah.

Guerby: It’s crazy for me that nobody care, many people know you already, but if you compare it to how many people are going to study business because they want to be successful, for me, I started business, studying business because I want to be the successful guy, but there was no freedom. And I have, I think that many more people need to know that there’s other way, like your way, that’s a, I think that’s important.

Max: Boom, which is why I’m really annoying with my YouTube and Instagram.

Nathan: You have to hammer it, hammer and hammer and hammer.

Max: I hammered it out, and I love it, like that’s what I’m doing, like for me, it’s the cure for a disease, right? They’re like the nine to five disease. And I think it would almost be, it would be irresponsible to not really, really hammer it out all the time. Hey, there’s another way, hey, there’s another way, hey, there’s another way. My question is like, when you look at the mentorship that you’ve gotten from us, like what was the biggest point where you say like, that was definitely the biggest takeaway I got from that.

Nathan: For me, it was the structure. So there’s like a proven path. You only have to go it and you don’t have to think too much what to do, how to do it, there’s like the scripts, there’s like, yeah, do this, then do this, then do this, and then you get money. So you don’t have to be so creative. And also the live calls were very good, the sales calls, and say it’s live calls, mindset, live calls, and shout out to Joseph, he’s amazing.

Max: Hi, Joseph, you got that.

Nathan: Yeah, I think these are the main points.

Future Goals and Success Mindset

Max: Nice, what’s your guys’ future plans? What’s the end goal revenue wise you wanna get to?

Nathan: That’s a good question actually.

Max: How many K, how many 50?

Nathan: It would be amazing, like 50K would be also very good for us, I think. But yeah, 100K.

Guerby: I think we don’t measure it at the money level, so as for us, it’s important. We have a stable business we can grow on. We can live for, and we can work on. So a lot of money is, it’s always good to have more money, but if you run the money, you will end up, but you have to run your business, your idea, your life, so, we don’t peak on the money. Yes, we want to have fulfillment, we want to work. So even if you have enough money, you would still be borrowed if you don’t work. So we work for our money so we can work on as long as we want and as how much as we want.

Max: I love it. As they always say, as they would say, it’s not about how much you make, it’s about how you make it. There you go, that’s good.

Guerby: And it’s important the success is a decision, this is really important. So nobody is coming to you and saying like, nobody’s coming to you, of course not your friends or your family and saying, hey, I have an idea and you can do this, and then you will be rich, and then you will be famous and whatever you want to do. So you have to take the decision, you have to take, you say serious, who am I? Who I want to be? So, and then you have to take action and yeah.

Max: He can show you how.

Guerby: He can show you how, and very important point, I think it’s, you don’t have to know everything from the beginning, nobody knows everything, so just start the first step. You can get help from him, from us. No, you can get help from them, the way it’s given, the path is there, so just ask and go on and go on. So many people think I don’t have this, I don’t have this, I don’t have the knowledge, I don’t have the money to start, but it’s not about that, it’s or how to say it, you’re telling yourself lies?

Max: Yeah, self-fulfilling prophecies.

Guerby: You can get here. There’s two given paths, we just have to follow them, have to be creative as well for your brand. That’s true, but yeah, given ways there. So as long as we go this way.

Max: Beautiful you’re saying.

Guerby: I think we will.

Max: We will make it.

Guerby: Let’s see.

Max: Love it, let’s see.

Guerby: Let’s see where we are in two years.

Max: Easy peasy, we’ll get you there as long as you keep executing, no problem.

Nathan: Yeah, but it’s important to decision. So for us this month, we talked before this month, like at the end of last month and we say, okay, we don’t go under 5K, we are not going to tolerate it.

Max: Yeah, you get what you tolerate.

Nathan: Yeah, yeah, it’s a clear decision, and then especially like last seven days, I think it was like six care close. And last couple of days, because it was a decision that was.

Max: I remember because you kept messaging me, he’s like another close, another close, another close.

Nathan: I was even dreaming about it. It was crazy, it’s crazy.

Max: I’m loving this. Yeah, I mean, there’s really nothing more I can add. It’s super inspiring story, obviously, you guys have been crushing it. Next couple of goals is gonna be to automate it, make more, build a more sustainable stable structure around that, and then scale you up, easy peasy as we say, so yeah.

Guerby: Can I add something?

Max: Sure, absolutely.

Guerby: I want to add, it doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, and what happened to you in your childhood, I don’t know, whatever. So it’s your possibility, and also, yes, it’s your thing. So don’t blame it on oh, my parents have been mad at me, my school, I was bad, I am black, I’m small, I’m fat, I don’t know. There’s always lot of [beeping] that you’re talking to yourself. That’s the reason why you can’t do it or you can’t do anything, but if you hear yourself, if you hear your words, you will notice it’s not the reason. So just keep up and start, that’s what I want to say, for me, it is.

Max: I love it. Well, super positive, super, super nice words. I appreciate that, and when you say the sun’s great, you get inspired by their story. You also wanna get started from zero with your own freedom business. You want to be free, you wanna be your own boss, then book a free consulting call with us. Now there’s a link down in the description below, you click on that link and it brings it to an application, application takes maybe two minutes to fill that out. So you can read a little bit more information on that, on the website as well. And then yeah, you can pick the exact date and time where you want us to call you. You’ll be talking to a real person by the way, not an automated bot funnel or anything like that. This is how you guys got started with that very same consulting goal.

Nathan: I saw your videos. One, I saw many of your videos to be honest, but there was the one, I think the one where, of your debt on your first journey–

Max: Ah, my debt, [indistinct]

Nathan: This one triggered me and I filled out the application, and now we make 10K a month.

Max: I love it.

Nathan: Absolutely, that’s correct.

Max: GG, well, book that free consulting call with us. And yeah, maybe we can also get you started and talk to you very, very soon. Thank you very much for watching. Thank you guys for making it out, I appreciate it. Congrats again for the 10K. Talk soon, bye-bye.

Testimonial Speaker: Hey guys, FBM. It’s a beautiful, beautiful sunny morning here. I’ve been in the program with FBM since about the 12th of April, and I lost my job on the 29th of May. Now I’ve just done my first proper month of sales. I’ve made five closes since then in 30 days, all at the starting price of two and a half K US. So the sales value is about 12 and a half K, which is amazing. I think one of the things that slow me down was I over complicated the process. And I know Max and the coaches and in Max’s videos, he says, just follow the process, follow the process, just to execute the way we say it. And I over thought things in my head and not just done it. And that’s really slowed me down.
