hey guys to all you who watched this you
know that I love you dearly so I'm gonna
give you some my best tips and secrets
here in business okay so let me tell you
the story that just happened I had a
client that we had organized to do a
video shoot for and I sent in the
proposal and my proposal program tells
me when people check click and they see
the proposal so we saw the proposal his
secretary or the person that works it
for him said okay great we're on you
know come down and come down let's do
the video shoot so I hopped on a plane
with my with my crew obviously and
literally as were on our way to the
airport I get an email from like an
email from the from the client that hey
we didn't see the terms of the proposal
and fifty percent advance we never
agreed to this and I'm saying to myself
oh no I haven't have a choice here I
could either give up the shoot because I
don't want to take the risk that they're
not gonna pay me or I can agree to some
sort of terms and conditions go through
with the shoot come with a come up with
a plan and try to get paid when I'm
there and and do what I have to do to
make this thing work so I ended up
negotiating with them
pay me $1,000 as a deposit before I left
which is well under the the half deposit
that I usually ask for whatever I was
gonna go do the shoot we start a
business cash is king I needed I needed
a deposit you need that I need that
fifty percent to keep my to keep my
wheels turning it's the gas at the gas
tank otherwise the car stops so what did
I do in the airport I bought the nicest
bottle of Canadian maple syrup that I
could find packed packaged it up
beautifully I put it into my bag in the
morning in the hotel I printed out the
invoice for the for the for the video
shoot and after a long day of shooting
with the client and they saw how
dedicated we were and they saw how good
of a job and how professional we were
and we had a great rapport with them I
want I walked into the to the owners
office and I said could I have a couple
minutes with you and I took out the
folder and I took out the bottle of
maple syrup and I put the bottle of
maple syrup on his desk I said I have a
gift for you he says really that's so
nice he didn't have to I said this is
the best Canadian maple is here from the
deepest darkest part of the of the
Canadian forest I gave him the bottle of
maple syrup and I had the invoice and I
put it on his desk as well I said listen
you know what it is to start a business
as well you're an entrepreneur yourself
you know that the beginning is not easy
I said if there's any way that you could
pay half of this invoice right now it
would mean the world to me I said if
cash is tight if cash flow is a problem
right now I totally understand but if
it's not and you're able to somehow
afford half of the payment that would
just mean the world
he said I'll take care of you kids don't
worry about it and he had his
secretaries print up the check he signed
it and hand it to me gladly point of the
story is is that you go all the way you
put in the work and take a little bit of
a risk and you come up with creative
solutions and the rest worked itself out
keep on hustling everybody
