  • You Are Like A Bamboo Seed...
    Aug 29 2023

    Do you ever feel like, no matter how hard you try, you never get ahead? 

    No matter how much you learn, your business never grows. 

    Maybe it's because you're like a bamboo seed. Let me explain.

    Planting a bamboo seed can be a real test of patience. 

    You water and care for it, day in and day out, and yet, nothing seems to happen. 

    Year after year, no growth, no leaves, no progress. Frustration mounts, but you persist. 

    And suddenly, after five long years, a small shoot appears, and in just six weeks, it grows over 90 feet! 

    This growth didn't just happen overnight; the seed was building deep, strong roots. 

    It was preparing for the moment when it would shoot to the sky. And guess what? 

    Your journey as a firearms instructor is exactly like this bamboo seed. 

    Here are the 3 secrets to explosive growth… 

    Secret #1 Building Strong Foundations

    Focus on core values, continuous learning, and student relationships 

    Secret #2 The Power of Persistence

    Keep pushing, keep innovating, and never give up. Progress may seem slow, but something incredible is happening beneath the surface.

    Secret #3 Explosive Growth Awaits 

    With the right foundation and persistent effort, you'll reach a tipping point, and success will come fast and strong."

    This is the script for a video I recently posted that got 257,493 views in less than 48 hours 

    Do you know the five things that have to happen before you can legally use a firearm in self defense? 

    The truth is 99% of gun owners don’t know… 

    One tiny mistake could cost you your life or your freedom… 

    # 1 - Reasonable Belief 

    # 2 - Imminent death, great bodily harm or the imminent commission of a forcible felony

    # 3 - The Use Of Deadly Force Must be immediately necessary 

    # 4 - You must be in a place you have a legal right to be

    # 5 - You cannot be committing a crime

    So if you are a Florida gun owner and you want to learn how to avoid going to prison follow for more… “ 

    It's incredible to believe I was able to get over 250,000 views when just a few years ago I was a bumbling mess in front of the camera. 

    Picture me, standing in front of the camera, feeling like a fish out of water. My hands were shaky, my voice even shakier. I knew I had a message to share, but every time that red recording light blinked, I felt like a stranger in my own skin.

    I knew that creating video content was important but I never knew what to talk about.

    Every morning I would wake up with a pit in my stomach knowing I needed to create a video that day. I would spend hours reading the paper and scrolling social media in a desperate attempt for inspiration. 

    But one day everything changed when I discovered a strategy from Rachael Peterson 

    It's called ‘12-Months Of Content In 1 Day’ 

    It was like the lights turned on in a dark room. Suddenly, I knew exactly what to create. 

    I knew precisely what would resonate with my perfect student. It wasn't just about throwing content against the wall and seeing what would stick; it was about crafting messages with purpose, intent, and laser-like focus on what mattered.

    The fear, the awkwardness, the confusion? They melted away. 

    My voice became strong, my content meaningful, and my connection with my audience genuine.

    Here's how you create a year's worth of content ideas in one day.

    Step 1 - Identify Your Core Topic

    What is the core topic of your firearm training business? It could be concealed carry, pistol shooting, defensive shooting and the list goes on. 

    Step 2 - Subtopics 

    Create a list of twelve subtopics that are related to your core topic. For example if your core topic is concealed carry subtopics would include.

    • How To Get A Permit 

    • When To Use A Firearm In Self Defense 

    • Gun Law 

    • Home Defense 

    • Firearm Safety 

    • Shooting Fundamentals 

    • Gun Range Etiquette 

    • And More… 

    Step 3 - Research 

    Enter one of the subtopics into Google search and then scroll down to the ‘People Also Ask’ section. These are the questions your perfect student is asking about this topic. 

    Step 4 - Get 30 Questions 

    Find 30 questions that people are asking about your subtopic and paste them on a spreadsheet. 

    Step 5 - Repeat This Process

    The final step is to repeat this process for each of the twelve subtopics on your list. 

    And just like that you have enough content ideas for the next twelve months.

  • this will destroy your business…
    Aug 26 2023

    Have you ever heard the phrase, the customer is always right? 

    If you've been in business for more than a few minutes, you know this couldn't be further from the truth. 

    The customer is not always right. 

    Sometimes they are lying, cheating, manipulative. 

    And 

    It Doesn't Matter 

    When I owned the gun store, a young man named Cody walked in who wanted to purchase two handguns. 

    I helped him choose the two pistols, completed the paperwork, and swiped his credit card for $1,295

    A few weeks later, I received a letter stating this transaction was fraudulent. 

    I remember thinking, "This guy really sucks at being a criminal. 

    I have a photocopy of his driver's license, concealed weapons permit, and Social Security number."

    I know where he lives, and I have evidence that he used a stolen credit to purchase two firearms… 

    I decided to give Cody a call and allow him to pay for the firearms before I called the police.

    Cody was apologetic and said he would come in the next day with cash to pay for the guns. 

    The problem is that he never showed up. 

    Day after day, I called, left voicemails, and sent text messages…. 

    …threatening that if he did not bring me the cash, I would call the police and press charges.

    After a week and a half, I decided to report the firearms stolen to Tampa Police. 

    But before I took such extreme measures, I decided to send one more text to Cody.

    "Please don't call the cops… I'll be there in 10 minutes with the money," Cody responded. 

    When he arrived, he had an intimidated look on his face and said

    "If I give you this money, do you promise not to call the police?" 

    I gave him my word and took the money. 

    A few hours later, I received a notification from Yelp that we received a new review. 

    Cody left a 1-star review. 

    "The owner is rude to his customers…"

    He conveniently left out that he used a stolen credit card to purchase two firearms and then refused to pay me when I asked nicely. 

    This negative review haunted me for years. No matter how hard I tried to explain what happened, potential customers only saw the one-star review and stayed away. 

    This was when I discovered the POWER of a negative review, and I set out to never let it happen again. 

    When we started Tampa Carry, our primary goal was to serve each student at the highest level, so they felt obligated to leave a 5-star review.
