$73k in 3 weeks in bookings for my immersive adventure village in the middle of nowhere desert.

Not surprised at all right? No. I’ve been scared as hell for 3 years building this.

The project was supposed to be dead about 5 times.

I went through 3 engineers, the first two wasted 5 months each on it before throwing in the towel. No one wants to stamp building on a lake bed.

I couldn’t get a builder in the 2022 construction boom, the lowest bid I got was $1,000/ft, no wanted to build in the middle of nowhere for a 7 unit project.

The county initially demanded we build 5 miles of road, we got an easement through a neighbors yard down to 1 mile.

The county demanded individual septic tanks 150 feet away from the dry lake bed from units 25 feet deep.

The project ballooned $1M over budget because of my lack of experience and proper planning.

We stretched our lender so far over budget they couldn’t lend any more to us.

I could go on and on and on, this list keeps going.

Am I insane?

Am I overconfident?

Did I make too many mistakes?

Did I dream too big?

Am I an idiot?

Am I good enough? Smart enough?

Did I build something that’s total crap?

Is anyone going to care about this?

Look, you’re an idiot until your not, then you remember who you are.

Everything is happening for you not to you.

If you are working on something and having all of these doubts come into your mind, you’re not special.

This is everyone, all the time.

And when you stop having these doubts is when you might be a little over confident and reckless.

I was absolutely overconfident and reckless in this, it’s been major pucker butt this whole time.

But here we are.

We’re winning.

Keep pushing, keep believing, keep evolving, keep learning, and whatever happens after you’ve done all you can is what’s supposed to happen in order for you to become the person you need to be to do all those dreams you have inside your head.

Tell me what you’re working on below, share your fears, and let’s address and overcome those and remind yourself WHO TF YOU ARE

Business is 80% psychology

A F****** POWERHOUSE!

11/02/2023

A while back I was thinking, why did it work?

Why was I able to scale in an industry where most never really get over that $300k/yr hurdle?

It was the personal brand efforts.

It was very small results, even 40 likes on LinkedIn posts led to campaigns with Acura, NordicTrack, LATAM airlines, Polaroid.

Year 1: $650k
Year 2: $1.2M
Year 3: $2M
Year 4: $3M
Year 5: $6M
Year 7: $14M
Exit: $17M

It’s never been easier to build a personal brand and drive high ticket sales, services, recruiting, etc.. because the algorithms are pushing educational content. All you have to do is talk to the camera, and it does not take millions of views to make a huge impact,

I was able to leverage my small personal brand to get enough credibility to sell out my experience hotel for a year in 3 days.

I think this is a high ROI effort for anyone, no matter what industry you’re in. People introduce themselves, it opens the world to you when people know who you are and what you’re doing.

When I needed to raise more capital for my hotels, I posted and dozens of calls were scheduled and not only did I find a financier, I found a potential long term partner with the expertise the company needs.

People don’t do this because it’s uncomfortable, it feels vain, it opens up your insecurities, people pick you apart, but it’s kind of like… who cares? That’s life.

Provide value, get paid.

This effort helps people for free.

You can tackle this effort with 2-3 hours a month, and I’ve created a solution for you to do it with minimal effort.

I’ve opened up a bootcamp at my lakehouse in January, just 10 spots at a time where we write, film, and edit 60 thought leaderships posts for you.

That’s 60 Instagram reels and YouTube shorts to post every day for 2 months, and you can use the text for LinkedIn posts.

You never pay us again and keep the system, process, and access to our remote editors to continue with just a few hours a month. This bootcamp is $8,000.

But it’s not just content work, we do deep work too, it’s about connecting with other entrepreneurs and with yourself, delving into your purpose and mission, the deeper why to your work.

We do pranayama breathwork with cold plunge into the lake, sound bath, Rasha scalar energy with base-12 frequencies developed by the CIA (it sounds nuts but it’s awesome), discuss functional medicine optimizations for your health with my nurse practitioner (who saved my life), sauna and hot tub on the lake’s edge, meals by my private chef, with snowmobiles parked ready to rip up the Rocky Mountains.

It is a transformational event that you can justify leaving home for because you’re getting solid deliverables to drive your revenue forward, but also getting time to focus on you and your mission.

If this sounds valuable to you, comment “I’m in” below. If you can’t come, please still comment so others who might be in can see it.

Your consciousness is not confined to your body.

You are a never-ending beam of light in the universe.

Recognize your worth and the vastness of your being.

Even if you believe in God, remember to believe in yourself.

You are an eternal soul with limitless power and potential.

Embrace your indomitable spirit.

05/18/2023

Regret is the real hell.

Not believing in yourself, playing it safe, and always doing the predictable leads to eternal regret.

Take a leap of faith in yourself.

05/17/2023

Don't underestimate the power of starting small. Take risks, follow your passion, and see where it leads you.

05/17/2023

Service businesses are a low-risk, low-cost option.

You can start by just selling your time.

If it doesn't work out, you can always go back to a corporate job.

05/16/2023

We're here to learn self-belief, to understand our power as souls and what we can achieve.

It starts with believing in the right things, developing good habits, and analyzing what works.

05/16/2023

Belief in self is more important than belief in an entity, the system, or others.

Without self-belief, you're going nowhere.

05/15/2023

Don't wait for huge, grand ideas. Find a niche in an industry and take some crumbs from the big guys.

A few hundred grand can go a long way with little competition.

05/15/2023

If you're talented, hardworking, and stuck in the corporate world feeling like you're going nowhere, it's time to start a service business.

You don't need capital or connections, just six months of savings in the bank.

05/14/2023

Don't let fear and doubt dictate your journey.

Trust in your abilities, for they have the power to shape your destiny.

05/14/2023

In the grand scheme of things, even the villain has an important role in teaching, testing, and forgiving.

Embrace the diversity of existence and the lessons it offers.

05/13/2023

The biggest struggle that cripples people their whole lives is self-belief.

It takes work

self-talk, sacrifices, and doing hard things

to build that belief within yourself.

05/12/2023

If you’re talented and stuck in the corporate world, do this.

You don't need a mentor to be a CEO.

The majority of knowledge and experience is with people at your level.

We became a clan in 3 days.

Breathwork, hot springs, sauna, cold plunge, long conversations, candid conversations, adventure, we all belonged, we were all equals, we left our egos at home, we owed no one anything, no transactional relationships, no providing, no protecting, just like-minded men counseling each other about our lives as we have done hunting and defending for tens of thousands of years.

These men have influence to a 100 others who need that inspiration and motivation to Live Up, which is why we called this .

I try to keep it about 80% founders, 20% up and comers who deserve to be there so that the majority presence of experience and conversations are at a certain level and so that no one is there to pitch anyone or take us out of the reason we are there.

Guys, explain what the event is like, we need to get this to as many men as possible, I’ve been in a lot of these events and have never seen anything like it, the world needs this more than ever.

We need to be worthy of the women and children in our lives. Men have fallen behind, but these men below have not.

I’m blown away by response already to my hotel.

Many investment and lender offers, sponsors offering free stuff for content of it on property.

Yet still the highest ROI of my socials is sourcing talent and materials.

30 person build crew compiled in a day from one post.

It’s the power of a small, engaged audience and the principle of designing with users.

This is going to blow up in a way I don’t fully comprehend yet.

And there I was, facing my 39th time going bankrupt.

I thought, why me?

Why does the universe keep telling me, “no Travis.”

And that’s when it happened.

I was like “hey, yes Travis.”

Then I went bankrupt a 40th time.
