When Stephen Keams hit rock bottom, working 98-hour weeks in a restaurant just to barely make ends meet, he never could have imagined the dramatic turnaround that was about to take place. Stuck in a cycle of poverty and unable to provide for his family, Stephen was desperate for a way out. Little did he know, that opportunity was about to present itself in the form of a podcast episode featuring entrepreneur Gene Slade.
Stephen’s Inspiring Turnaround
After hearing Gene speak on the Close It Now Podcast about his success in the HVAC industry, Stephen knew he had to learn more. He convinced his cousin, who owned an HVAC company, to attend one of Gene’s “Mansion Events.” It was there that Stephen’s life would change forever.
“It was an incredibly crazy [experience] on how fast everything changed,” Stephen recounts. “It was not months or years, it literally took weeks. I tripled my income literally the first week after the mansion event after I started using his process.”
Within just three months, Stephen was able to get his life back on track. He secured an apartment, got his brother and father off the streets, and started providing for his children in ways he had never been able to before – including enrolling them in private school and signing them up for travel baseball and mixed martial arts.
The Power of Mindset Shift
According to Stephen, one of the biggest keys to his success was the mindset shift he experienced after learning Gene’s strategies. Prior to the Lead Ninja mansion event, Stephen felt like he did not have the tools or mindset to properly talk to customers. But Gene’s teachings helped him reframe his approach.
“Say his actual slogan, ‘Everyone trusts me. Everyone buys from me,’ literally before every call at least 10 times, it gets you in a state of mind where you’re absolutely not just going in there to be a vacuum salesman or some car salesman trying to talk nonsense to people,” Stephen explains.
Instead of viewing himself as a pushy salesperson, Stephen learned to see himself as a trusted advisor, there to genuinely help customers identify and meet their needs. This mindset shift was a game-changer.
“It was just a great mind shift for me because before that I just felt like I had no belief in what I was selling,” he says. “Going into this Lead Ninja Mastermind Program, it just put my mind frame it’s not that at all. It’s providing the needs that they need for their home to make their lives better and show them how it can be better.”
Unwavering Support from Gene and His Team
Another key factor in Stephen’s success was the unwavering support he received from Gene and his team, even long after the mansion event. Unlike other programs and coaches Stephen had tried in the past, Gene was always available to provide guidance and encouragement.
“The biggest thing about Gene – everyone might not know this, but he will reach out to you and help you in every way, shape, or form,” Stephen shares. “You can text the man, you can call him. He will be there for you every step of the way. He will give you information, he will talk to you, he will walk you through everything.”
Stephen recounts a time when he was struggling with something and reached out to Gene, who was on vacation in Las Vegas at the time. “He was just immediately, ‘Yeah, call me right now and let’s go ahead and hash this out,’ and he gave me tremendous advice,” Stephen says. “The fact that he was able to be there every step of the way and he was willing to take time out of his day to actually enhance your life as long as you’re willing to put in the work shows tremendously.”
Advice for Others Seeking Transformation
For those who find themselves in a similar position to where Stephen was before discovering Gene’s program, his advice is simple: invest in yourself.
“Number one, sign up for the Lead Ninja Mastermind Program,” he urges. “If nothing else, save up as much as you can for yourself and get, just get your foot in the door. Go to a mansion event, get into a Lead Ninja Mastermind Program, go invest. If nothing else, you should be investing in yourself before anything else because if you can’t even do the simple thing of taking care of yourself, how do you expect to take care of others?”
Stephen knows firsthand the power of this approach. After investing in himself and applying Gene’s strategies, he went from making just $45,000 per year to being on track to earn $250,000 this year – more than the owner of the company he works for. And he’s just getting started.
“Once you can educate yourself and invest in yourself, it’s you can do whatever you want,” Stephen says.
The American Dream Realized
From nothing to everything, Stephen is the embodiment of the American dream. He worked tirelessly to turn his life around – and Gene’s Lead Ninja Mastermind was the catalyst that made it all possible.
Stephen’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance, resilience, and a willingness to invest in oneself. By taking a chance on Gene’s program and putting in the hard work, he was able to completely transform his life and the lives of his loved ones. It’s a true inspiration to anyone who is struggling to make ends meet and searching for a way out.
