Mick Unplugged
The Power of Personal Stories in Business Success with Forbes Riley

I would take it because I'll tell you what, Mick, if I could have met a me or met a you years ago, my life would have been better. I didn't take a lot of opportunities to study with people because they charge twenty, thirty thousand dollars. Masterminds were fifty, a hundred grand. And I had this stuck in my head. I come from no money. That's a weird thing.

Come from a mom who was a hoarder and who really always, you know, bought the one dollar T-shirt, never ten of the ten. She'd buy ten one dollar T-shirts, but she would never buy a ten dollar T-shirt. And so I had a little bit of mixed things. I missed out on meeting some amazing people because I couldn't break those barriers. So what I've opted to do is to take price out of the equation.

And everything I do is affordable so that nobody has to say, I can't do this. You want to pay a lot? I have a lot. I have fun trainings where you can come to my TV studio and we can make video magic together. But if you just want to start with me live, I think it's a gift because if I want to matter at the end of my life, I will.

Well, and I tell you what's come about when you can articulate what you do and who you are. I've found that a lot of people get all kind of messed up and get nervous. And I used to do that. I used to literally throw up on your makeup. I met you at a party like, hi, who are you? What do you do? I'm like, well, I'm an actress, infomercial host. And I've just finished two movies.

And I got one that's a Western. I've got two kids and I'm writing a new book. And I would look and I don't know why I needed to say all of those things so fast. And then I would go, wow. And you'd go, nice to meet you.

And what I have done, which is crazy, Mick, is I'm gifting people confidence. And that's one of the sexiest things you can walk into a room with. You know, I had an opportunity because the way the system, and I call this elevator pitch 2.0, in the early days, about six years ago, to meet Grant Cardone. I'd wanted to meet him. I knew who he was. I did a little bit of my research.

And when I finally had a chance to meet him, where most people go wrong is they start telling the other person who's more famous than them, oh, I love your work. I'm a fan. I'm this. I didn't do any of that. I said, look, you know me from infomercials. I've grossed two and a half billion dollars. I think you would be great on a TV show just like Tony Robbins did. Let's gross you another billion.
