What Do Mike Perl & Donald Trump Have In Common -- Part 2

IF for some reason, you didn’t read the 1st episode or missed it…click here to get it in it’s entirety…Before reading episode 2!

In a Nutshell…Big Momma is:

• Forty-Five years old (45),
• A single mother
• Has two children (5 and a 9 year old)
• Their father(s) are absentee-dads (like mine when I was a kid)
• She’s broke financially
• Divorced
• No real education or skills
• Is soon to be fired from her insurance sales job (this is what she told me)
• Here’s the best one, get ready, (you’ll LOVE this one)

…she lives in her 62 year old mothers home, And her mother (in the poor lady’s best years), has to watch Big Mama’s bratty children…85% of the time!

Now, how do you like them apples?

Before you think I’m a cruel, son-of-bi@#$; understand this was her OWN description of herself!

This is a copy of her original message to me:

Understand, I have all the sympathy in the world for single moms…

Because, my mom (Bless her soul) was a single mom. My mom, made a decent income, never could afford to go to college personally, worked her way up the corporate ladder on nothing more than loyalty and outworking her coworkers; all while suffering from migraine headaches.

OH Yeah and my dad never paid 1 red-cent of child support, while my mom raised me.

I wouldn’t be the man and the entrepreneur I am today, if it was not for her confidence in me, constantly reinforcing my belief system by telling me daily, “You can do ANYTHING you put your mind to!” (She also told me I have the mind of a champion)

Nobody’s Perfect, not even yours truly, even though I know that’s hard to believe.

There’s a quote I love, that says:

There’s no fault in being broke, just fault in staying broke.

So after Big Mama, shared her story with my team and the world on my blog, I decided I’d speak to her myself…personally.

We would break bread.

When Big Mama and I spoke to her over the phone, I told her I had an enormous respect for her tenacity, and Balls to ask for us to waive her tuition into the Ultimate Apprentice Program; especially when we were now SOLD-OUT!

I asked her some questions, about her story and her life experiences.

At first, I thought maybe I’d give her some of my materials or courses on the house, maybe buy her a book…But she had her mind set on getting into the program.

Then I shared with her one of my brutal life observations…

That when most people have nothing invested in their education or nothing at stake in their success…

They normally TAKE IT FOR GRANTED and DO NOTHING!

This is where I should’ve put on my boots, because it was getting really deep in there, if you know what I mean.

She tells me every reason in the world, why she needs to change her life and her finances, and that I hold the solution to her financial problems.

She shares with me, that she’s read and listened to 100’s of books, tapes and e-books, and the majorities of them are just fluff and talk in circles. But IF she could be involved in our local mentoring program, this would give her the edge that would push her over the top and give her financial freedom for her and children.

I still didn’t say “Yes to Big MAMA”…

I told her my personal story about my cousin Dave (the drug addict), and how he’s personally attended 5 or 6 of my previous boot camps and never paid one red cent; and still to this day he’s a 36 year old broke, no job having, desolate, living on my aunt’s couch and sleeping until 1:30 in the afternoon. He’s a sad case for a human being…and he’s my own family. (We all have one of those in our family…and you know it!)

Maybe, I should set up my cousin Dave and Big Mama, they might make a great couple!

Further, I told her, that the first class Dave attended was the same 1^st class “Little Richie” went to…now today Richie is on top of his game, is my business partner in two companies, and makes more than 94% of adults, double his age.

Richie, is ONLY 25 years old (If you remember, Rich LOST my luggage in Chicago in April while attending Kennedy’s Super conference and also got the phone number, of a girl, I wanted to get to know…personally! The little Punk)

That’s proof; two separate people can get the same information, and create entirely two different results with the same information!

After, she depressed me with her, “Please feel sorry for me” story.

I selfishly asked her, “What’s in it for me?”…”What can you do or Help me with?”

We weren’t getting anywhere, so I said, “Make me a proposal.”

So then, Rich and I were having some lunch meetings about the Ultimate Apprentice, and Rich brought her there to present her proposal.

Here’s another problem: Rich tells me, (after we agreed to let her in) that she couldn’t figure it out on her own, and he had to basically give her most of the proposal ideas. He was afraid that she would show up with only two ideas on paper.

That should’ve been the first, warning sign.

Prior to agreeing to the proposal, both Richie and I, laid it on thick, similar to a bankruptcy attorney and someone getting ready to lose their home in foreclosure…

We didn’t hold anything back…Here’s what we told her.

Upon accepting our offer, Big MAMA must be willing to be…

• Our slave – do girl: running errands and everything and anything we needed or wanted…
  
• Laugh at Richie’s Stupid jokes… 
• Be organized, efficient, good listener, and motivated… 
• Not allowed to EVER bitch and moan, because we could honestly care less… 
• Available, when we need her, no excuses, unless she has a family emergency or an issue with one of her children. 
• Willing to take criticism and understand there is no sugar coating – ego stroking, not in our program.
  
• Understand we will be ASSHOLES and unforgiving! (Stop be pansies, you know that’s the truth…Do you think Donald Trump is pleasant to his team members, when they drop the ball? If you do, I’ve got some swamp land to sell you…genius!)
• Understand we are MILITANT ABOUT OUR TIME; we don’t fart around, twiddling our thumbs, waiting for a duplex to show up in our driveway. And that if we felt she was EVER wasting our time, we’d leave her faster, than Mike Perl could leave a Weight Watcher’s meeting… 
• Understand, we would discontinue her apprentice program, in a New York minute, if we ever felt she wasn’t living up to her end of the bargain… 
• Last but not least, this deal would not be EASY, and there would be a NO-EXCUSE POLICY!

Basically, we shared with Big Mama that IF she was: Serious, ready to roll up her sleeves, willing to truly learn, be teachable, has a NO EXCUSE mindset, willing to Fall Down on her face a few times…that her success was basically GAURANTEED!

We shared with Big MAMA, that we had over 5 similar offers from people like her, but that no of them were as tenacious as Mama, and that we appreciated her tenacity.

And that IF she accepted our NO B.S. terms, we would be willing to bring her into the program, mentor her, and bring her under our wing.

Richie and I also made sure she understood that this would be “Big Mama’s” Opportunity of a life-time.

I personally explained to her, that the Mastermind group I belong to, I INVEST $15,000.00 yearly, to be a part of…

Well you can probably guess, Big MAMA, was ready to sign up and change her life.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE IT ALL WENT DOWNHILL…

Stay tuned, for episode 3, where I share with you, how big MAMA started screwing it all up, from DAY 1.

The first, MINOR project we gave her went down the tubes…

And that’s only the tip of the iceberg…

Wait until I tell you the story, about How Big Mama, yelled at me ( Mike Perl ), started crying, and told me, “She’s FRUSTRATED”!

And NO it’s not because Wendy’s discontinued the Triple Burger with cheese and bacon, and their special Wendy’s Sauce inside.

Stay tuned and don’t forget to post your comments, to the blog (both good and bad)
