Clay say what's up to fire nation and share something that you believe about becoming successful that most people disagree with fire nation was that.

Clay Clark and I I'm one thing I believe that most people don't believe I believe that achieving financial success in the world of business is very easy to do in a capitalistic society it's very easy to do and it's not complicated.

So we're going to be talking step by step today on how to create a time and financial freedom creating business now not tomorrow but now and per usual if you've listened to some of these past episodes clay always brings on one of his clients when we get to talk through the kind of changes the kind of improvements kind of adjustments and pivots and just awesomeness to clays helped his clients create over time and today we have Ryan and I wanted to do that.

Ryan and I want to talk to Ryan first or Ryan we will start with you today.

How did you first hear about clay Clark and his business growth coaching.

Yeah well first of all thank you so much for having me on this so I had a couple of friends in Oklahoma city where I'm from that had seen some real significant success in their business and I got super curious because I saw them buying new things houses cars all these things and even now one of them sending me pictures of these large

checks that he was getting from his customers and so I said hey what are you guys doing what's happening here and they said well there's this conference you need to go to the thrives on conference and you have to meet this guy in clay Clark and so I got online and and you know did a little bit of research right and decided yeah I think I need to I need to go to this conference and after going to the two day conference I knew that.

That clay had the systems in place that he could coach me and teach me and I decided yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead and let's go for it let's go for it and again fire nation as I mentioned the introduction Ryan Wells of flow photography so you already kind of mentioned where you're from maybe going to a little more detail about that

tell us a little bit about your business as well so we can get a sense of what it is that you do yeah yeah so a few years ago we started a company called.

Flow real estate photography and from the name you can tell we take pictures of houses for sale so you know it doesn't really what city that you're living in you see these real estate signs all over the place and people aren't just driving by looking at houses anymore most searches happen online and so we provide the photos that go online that helps

that helps realtors and homebuilders sell houses fire nation you can tell that Ryan is not a rookie when it comes explaining what he does and who he serves and I think some of that probably has to do with the value and the coaching that

Clay's been providing with him over time so I kind of want to move on to you for a second here clay because you've taken Ryan through eight steps that resulted in increasing the size of his business not one X

not two X not four X we're talking five flippant X fire nation clay what the heck are those steps well again I go and back to my initial controversial statement I believe that growing up is this is very successful

or the building of very successful business is very easy it's very easy to grow a successful business as long as you're following a proven plan and you adhere to a step by step system and so with Ryan

with any client I work with okay I do a four point assessment I told a 13 point assessment but I just told you the big four four things I look for that are like a no go zone so if you're listening out here today I will not take on a client if you don't meet the following four criteria it's a third it's called a 13 point assessment I do but I'm looking for these four criteria
