Mike Mann:
Okay, guys, here we are on time with my friend, Tom Beal:, who’s a very inspirational gentleman, and he’s gonna tell us his story and what’s good and what we can do to improve our lives. Tom is going live right now.
Tom Beal:
Mike, it’s a pleasure to be here. Thank you for having me on as a guest. I’m excited to share this brief time.
Mike Mann:
I need to turn my speakers.
Tom Beal:
Okay, can you hear me?
Mike Mann:
Now I can, I’m so sorry.
Tom Beal:
Perfect, all good. So thank you for having me here. I’m excited to share this time together and hopefully inspire some of your viewers to take themselves from where they are to where they’re capable of being.
Tom Beal:
So a little bit about me. I mean, I was born to teenagers, a 19 year old father, a 17 year old mother. And just the fact that they persevered and allowed me to be born was a miracle in and of itself.
Tom Beal:
That was after Roe versus Wade. I’m 48 years old now. And what I found out later is there was a lot of pressure from both sides of my family to not have me born. you chaos, a lot of adversity, a lot of challenges.
Tom Beal:
So I, with my teenage parents, I lived through four divorces and six marriages between my two parents. Went to nine different schools by eighth grade, was always the new kid. And I was tiny as a kid, always got picked on, the new kid, things like that.
Tom Beal:
But through that, I put my efforts into being a good student and also being a decent athlete. So I excelled in certain things. So I became a top wrestler in my elementary, middle, and high school years.
Tom Beal:
And at the same time, I also, back in the 80s, saw a movie called Rad. If you’re around my age, you may remember Rad. It was a bicycle BMX movie. And I saw them doing tricks on the bike. I said, wow, wouldn’t that be cool?
Tom Beal:
So I somehow pulled together all my family’s resources to get me a bike that was properly equipped. And within a few short years, I became a national bicycle champion. And we’ll talk about some of these steps and how it takes from getting that idea into turning it into a reality.
Tom Beal:
Then after high school, I went to college and I found out I liked partying and girls more than class. So I dropped out after three semesters and was working in factories and doing various odd jobs. And after being the national bicycle champion, signed an autographs, I thought, man, where’d I mess up?
Tom Beal:
Like, I thought I’d have a grander life than this. I’m wearing earplugs in a factory and working at a mall in upstate New York, Rochester, New York. And that’s when a Marine Corps recruiter came by and asked me, are you happy?
Tom Beal:
And I said, you know what, not really. He said, do you like to travel? I said, I love to travel. Are you good at any sports? I said, I’m a decent wrestler. He’s like, how would you like to wrestle traveling around the world for the Marine Corps?
Tom Beal:
I said, sounds like a good plan. I didn’t know they’re a salesperson and they’re gonna make up whatever they feel is the right thing to get you in. So I’m like, I’m game, let’s go. So I quit my jobs.
Tom Beal:
I was in Marine Corps bootcamp 28 years ago to this day. I was in the midst of Marine Corps bootcamp. I went there January 5th. I got out April 2nd, 1993. And what I learned was the rules of bootcamp and I became the leader.
Tom Beal:
I became the guide of my platoon. I then became the honor man for my platoon and went on to gain numerous meritorious promotions in the United States Marine Corps, was up for Marine enlisted commissioning program.
Tom Beal:
Were they gonna pull me out of enlisted, send me to college and bring me back, put me in officer candidate school. But at the same time, I was getting, I see, all right, there we go. And if you remember a few good men, it was about the topic of hazing.
Tom Beal:
Well, guess what, ladies and gentlemen, hazing still occurs. But at that time when that movie was out, that was the hot topic. So when I moved to Yuma, Arizona, we had this one person who was sent to our unit who, just to give you a context of, we’re in the Marine Corps.
Tom Beal:
If people do what they say, or what you tell them to do, we’re in good shape. If they don’t do that, lives are on the line. So I said, hey, Aiella, sweep up the base so we can get out here early. He said, F you, you sweep it up yourself.
Tom Beal:
So that’s the type of kid we were dealing with. And so long story short, there was a hazing situation. I was there to make sure it didn’t get out of control. And in doing so, all of us got busted and made examples of.
Tom Beal:
So the me set package got torn up and I changed. I still got an honorable discharge, but I decided after four years to go from the top elite on the base in one fell swoop be the least on the totem pole.
Tom Beal:
I said, man, all those attaboys disappear with one uh -oh, which is a minor lesson in life, by the way. So we’ll touch on some of those. So after my four years, got an honorable discharge from the Marine Corps, went to college and started in sales in the car industry, and then in copier sales industry, and then into advertising.
Tom Beal:
And then I kept hitting ceilings. I was number one in five separate sales organizations. And I just felt, man, I’m getting stuck at what my capabilities are. So I said, let me try this entrepreneur route.
Tom Beal:
And I figured being the honor man out of bootcamp, being the national bicycle champion, being the number one in five sales organization, this entrepreneur thing will be simple. And little did I know, I just get across my face and learn very valuable lessons that were very costly.
Tom Beal:
And it really boils down to, I didn’t follow the lessons that I’ll be teaching here today. And I narrowed it down to five steps that I took to become that national bicycle champion, that I took to become that honor man, that I took to be the number one in five separate sales organizations, to then skidding my face across the pavement as an entrepreneur, and then finally embracing these things, implying them, and producing tens of millions of dollars of results.
Tom Beal:
But I will state this. Even though I was able to produce great results, I’m kind of like, with the history that you heard, I’m kind of like the baseball star or the movie star who went from rags to riches and didn’t have any financial literacy.
Tom Beal:
So I will say this, I now have empathy for the people that say, how could that person make all that money and be broke? It’s not that hard. You too could try that. Without. you Once their contract expires, they end up broke very shortly thereafter because they didn’t have the proper financial literacy.
Tom Beal:
So we’ll touch on some of that as well. So that’s the base of who I am. Why I’m here, I actually put a little drawing here, let me see if I can put this in the screen, is to help you get from where you are today to cross over to that future you.
Tom Beal:
So here we are today, and now that’s a small version of you, not to put any, like, this is the good, the bad, the ugly of your current version today. I know, based on me working with thousands and thousands of people from around the globe, all the way from just starting out to hundreds of millions of dollars in results, that you are capable of so much more.
Tom Beal:
And it begins with that, with you looking yourself in the mirror and say, you know what, I know I am capable of more. And that’s why you’re here today. You’d be doing some of the other stuff. You’d get caught up in all that political stuff, or caught up in all the other nonsense distractions, but you’re not, you’re here.
Tom Beal:
And I commend you, because that’s where it begins. Now the next step is for you to say, you know what, yes, I am capable of more. And I know there is a future version of me that I have S here for success, and you have an S on your chest, Superman, Superwoman.
Tom Beal:
This is your ultimate super success of tapping into the potential that you have. And I’ve broken it down into simplifying this version of success. I’m called the simplifier. And this is the triangle, or my Trinity success method, the triangle that we’re going to talk about to help you get from where you are to where you want to be.
Tom Beal:
And basically success. Most people when they hear that, as I heard that many decades ago, I thought success was all the money. It’s just about money. Well there’s more from my perspective of what success is now.
Tom Beal:
And it starts with the foundation of health. you I noticed my camera keeps cutting out, so when I see that, I pause. The other side is relationships. So health relationships, first the relationship with yourself, then the relationship with your personal, professional, and social relationships as well.
Tom Beal:
We’ll touch on those. And then the other side is your financial situation. And so I break them down, this is my Trinity success method. So it’s health, relationships, and finances. And what I’ve learned is one out of three, so if you’re super wealthy, by the way, I have clients that are super, super wealthy that have poor health and have poor relationships, and that equals a life of misery.
Tom Beal:
Like, and I’m not judging, I’m just saying, for those who have been there, they know, yeah, it’s not that, you know, and it actually compounds because you’re like, man, I’ve got all this money, but why do I have these health issues?
Tom Beal:
Why do I have these relationship issues? So it actually compounds it. So can you have the proper health, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually? Can you have the proper relationships, personally, professionally, and socially, and the proper financial situation?
Tom Beal:
I break financial situation into three areas as well. Your today money, your tomorrow money, and your contribution. So your today money, where I’m from, the bills come every 30 days, and they’re pretty timely.
Tom Beal:
They don’t, they’re here every 30 days. So the today money is, what are you doing? What are the efforts that you’re putting into play that covers your nut, your gross expenses, and lifestyle, and all that?
Tom Beal:
What’s that number, and what are the activities that you’re doing to cover that today money? The tomorrow money are those future projects that take a little bit more time, energy, and effort to possibly produce the great returns down the road.
Tom Beal:
There’s no guarantee. We don’t have a crystal ball, but you use your discernment to make sure you understand, if I put the proper time, effort, and energy into this, there’s a high probability of this panning out to be good.
Tom Beal:
Some of them do, some of them don’t. And then contribution. I’ve found the more you’re able to help others, the more that really builds a nice feeling, and also is a great way to see the returns that that can produce.
Tom Beal:
So it’s a lot of stuff. So basically, where you are today, if you’re rating yourself on a scale of zero to five, I would highly encourage you to do that. In your health, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, aggregate, what would you rate yourself on a scale of zero to five?
Tom Beal:
And that’s your personal interpretation of your starting point. And just like ordering an Uber, they need to know where you are and where you wanna go. So what’s your starting point with your health?
Tom Beal:
What’s your starting point with your relationships on a scale of zero to five? Your personal, your professional, your social relationships. And real quick key here, time equals love. Like time is our most precious and ever fleeting asset and when you’re investing time into those key relationships, that shows out of the person that you truly care for them and loving them.
Tom Beal:
And where are you on your financial situation? Your today money, your tomorrow money, your contribution, on a scale of zero to five, where would you rate yourself? And that’s your starting point. And that’s where you are today.
Tom Beal:
Then ask yourself, if you could fast forward to a few years, a few years from now, and everything went from where it is now to close to that five range on each of those areas, your health, your relationships, your finances.
Tom Beal:
What would that version look like? And in my interpretation of this reality we live in is, there is ultimate future us’s that range from the billionaire us to the dead and buried us and everything in between.
Tom Beal:
It’s up to us to pretty much put an arrow to that one that we can attach ourselves to that’s believable, moving over. So from dead and buried to the billionaire status, it’s up to us today to like put a bow and arrow to that version of us that we can believe ourselves being with our proper health, our relationships, our finances.
Tom Beal:
And we all have this internal regulator, kind of like the temperature gauge on the wall. Like here in South Florida, it’s warm now, thank goodness. It was cold last week, but if it gets above, I think right now 73, my air conditioner kicks in.
Tom Beal:
So we have our own air conditioner where if we’re believing too much, if we don’t believe it, it can’t happen, right? And we also don’t wanna settle for less than what we’re capable of. So picture that version of you that is that version that is healthier, has stronger relationships and has stronger financial situation.
Tom Beal:
And here’s the process to get you there. I narrow it down to five steps. First is the vision. And that’s you putting that that arrow to that future vision of yourself. And not just the monetary one. I’ve worked with so many people that have the great resources of wealth but are missing that health and relationships.
Tom Beal:
And it’s not a win. And two out of three isn’t great either. You want three out of three. And so you have to have that vision. that it’s possible for you, which leads to step number two. So step number one is vision.
Tom Beal:
What is that vision of you? Now, I mentioned I was that national bicycle champion after seeing the movie, Rad, I took the proper steps and I was like, man, that’s possible for me. I would love to do that.
Tom Beal:
I studied Zig Ziglar all those ages ago, back in 1989, 1990. You love Zig? Yeah, I met Zig before he passed. I spent a week with him out in Dallas before he passed away. He was awesome. And he planted some stuff into my heart to back in 1989, 1990, 91, I was like, man, wouldn’t it be great if I could share some insights similar to how Zig shared them with me, which changed my heart and changed the path of my life.
Tom Beal:
I didn’t know how that would be, but here I am. I’ve traveled the world and spoken in front of hundreds of thousands of people and been able to make that impact. So the vision is there. What’s that?
Mike Mann:
Ha, ha, ha.
Tom Beal:
All right, belief in the law of sewing and reaping, belief in the law of cause and effect, belief that if others can do it, you can do it as well. Belief in your products, your service, your company, if you’re a business owner, belief in it becoming a reality for you.
Tom Beal:
And then the third step is identify and align, and you can call that mentorship. The third step helped me in the bicycle riding, identify someone who was better than I was, align myself with them so they could teach me those more advanced tricks.
Tom Beal:
And I did that in Marine Corps bootcamp. I did that in the sales corporations I was in. I would immediately get into the sales organization and say, who’s number one? Take that person who’s number one out to lunch and ask them, hey, how’d you get to be number one and get them to share the secrets.
Tom Beal:
I met with Jeffrey Gittimer, Jeffrey Gittimer, best selling author in sales. And this is back when I was a publisher of the North Carolina Homebook in Charlotte, North Carolina back in 2001. And I said, man, you’re where I want to be.
Tom Beal:
You’ve written these books. You do all this stuff. I said, if you’re in my shoes, what would be the steps you take? And so he gave me a path and he put me down the path of what that plan would be. And it leads to step number four.
Tom Beal:
You’ve got to be committed to taking the action, commitment to action. Right. Everybody. This is where the rubber meets the road. We all pretty much know how to get healthy, right? Eat properly, move more than you are now.
Tom Beal:
It’s not that complex and it’s not that complex to have ideal relationships and more money. We know the steps. The bottom line is, are you committed to taking the consistent and persistent actions to get there?
Tom Beal:
So Jeffrey told me the steps he would take. It was up to me to take those steps. And similarly, it’s up to you. Once you find that person who is that mentor, who’s where you want to be, and when they give you the game plan, you’ve got to be willing to put the time, effort, energy in to get from where you are to where you want to be.
Tom Beal:
And then the fifth step, this is actually what I call the secret step, is have fun, have fun. So if we’re climbing a mountain, you don’t want to say, I’ll have fun once I get to the top. you Whoo, we’re back, all right, all right, we’re back.
Tom Beal:
So we’ve all been there or seen people who have done that. I’ll be happy when, right? Well, look, time is our most precious asset and now is the time to be happy. While you’re climbing the mountain, you can still have joy in the cuts, in the scrapes, in the journey.
Tom Beal:
So enjoying the journey is paramount, is totally crucial because this life is over in the snap of a fingers. I mean, I’ll separate from the trainings we’re talking about to touch on a very important topic as well, which is, this is over before we know it.
Tom Beal:
I mean, my mother passed away at 52 years old. She was diagnosed and gone with cancer in less than 30 days. That was in 2007, 52 years old, she passed. 2009, my dad was diagnosed and gone within 30 days of cancer at 56 years old.
Tom Beal:
And so 52 and 56, and actually prior to both of them, I was in a car accident, rolled four times, ejected from the sunroof and had a near -death experience where I was walking towards the bright white light, my experience, and I’m walking towards it.
Tom Beal:
And I said, stop, this isn’t how it’s supposed to end. I know you had more for me to accomplish, send me back. And so this is my second chance. And what I wanna do is share these stories and these inspirational insights with you to where you can have this feeling of being your second chance without having to have that near -death experience.
Tom Beal:
And that goes back to Napoleon Hill, right? He says, the burning desire is the first step of any great thing. And that leads to the first step in mind, a vision. But Napoleon Hill also said whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve, right?
Tom Beal:
So those types of things. And now we’re in these adverse times. My hope is this will give you some insight to let you know you are capable of that bigger version of you, you can do it. And there’s gonna be obstacles, there’s gonna be challenges.
Tom Beal:
One of the lessons I learned in the Marine Corps, thankfully we don’t have to deal with this in society much, but in the Marine Corps, it’s life or death. They teach you, if someone pulls a knife on you, the first thing you have to do is expect to get cut.
Tom Beal:
Because if you’re thinking you’re gonna get out of this without getting cut, what happens is, oop, you get sliced on the wrist, whoops. And you look at the wrist and then they kill you, right? You’re done, you have to expect to get cut.
Tom Beal:
So what I’m gonna say to you is that’s in real life. myself, anybody that you’ve seen that’s produced results has had to overcome challenges, uncertainty, difficulties, many times that seemed insurmountable.
Tom Beal:
So you’re not exempt from that, neither am I or anyone else. Just expect that challenges will be there, but trust in your kick butt problem solving capabilities, trust in your discernment, trust in your ability to be the person who goes not just the original mile, but the extra mile to get from where you are to where you want to be and overcoming those adversities becomes more like solving a puzzle and a normal challenge, not something that’s life -threatening or you’re ready to throw the towel in.
Tom Beal:
So I’ve spoken pretty quickly. I know we have limited time here, but Mike, that’s the story. That’s the Trinity success method combined with my five -step success magnet system. And I’d love to turn it over for questions and see how else I can add some value for the topic today.
Mike Mann:
Yeah well that was incredible and awesome and inspiring just as we expected so I totally appreciate that and I’m taking it to heart personally the advice you just gave and we’re of course going to save this on YouTube so people can watch it forever if they so choose.
Mike Mann:
But I just want to just touch on a couple things and in like five minutes or so I’m going to do domain training but the one thing that the viewers probably don’t realize is I actually run into you in person more than any of my other viewers or probably more than anybody in the world although John Cornetta who has been on my live stream I run into him a lot you know him right yeah we’re good friends yep oh cool I figured we’re all walking in the same space so yeah I run into John and Tom all the time because the three of us like the best beaches and the best restaurants and best neighborhood and so the three of us will be running into the rest of you if you advance yourselves to that degree.
Tom Beal:
100%. I love running into you. It’s fun. I actually just came back from I did my morning walk and then I did a morning moped ride and I was wondering if I’d run into you. So on my morning moped ride, I’ll come from here in Boca over to Deerfield Beach.
Tom Beal:
I’ll see you walking there on occasion.
Mike Mann:
I got the 7 a .m. sunrise today, yesterday, and most days if you see my wall. you
Tom Beal:
Yup, fantastic, it’s a beautiful way to start the day. And some people watching this, Mike, well, that’s great for you, Mike, great for you, Tom. Look, I came from Rochester, New York, and it’s knowing like a son of a gun, but we’d still have to get out and get into motion.
Tom Beal:
Like, so wherever you are, make the most of that scenario. Treat your location as if, what would a tourist do if they were coming to visit you? And that’s how, like when people ask me, because I’ve lived all over the US, I’ve traveled all over the world, Tom, what’s your favorite?
Tom Beal:
I said, wherever I am, I make it the most. I make the most of it, right? And I would encourage each of you to do the same, because a lot of people, well, that’s nice for you, Mike and Tom, and we’re freezing wherever we are.
Tom Beal:
Well, make the most of it. And so my son, I met Mike with my son, who was down visiting, he’s up in upstate New York. He’s now snowboarding, cold and snowy. So he’s out there snowboarding up there. So make the most of your location, wherever you are.
Tom Beal:
And if you’re down to South Florida, you probably see Mike, myself, or John Cornetto walking around the beaches for sure.
Mike Mann:
Yeah, I mean, John and Tom are like the workout kings and looks like his son works out with them too. Tom’s pretty cool. So I know people can connect with you through social media, I’m sure, if they want to chat with you, but just in general, what we just tell us like what you’re doing for business on a day -to -day basis, if you’re taking new clients, if you want people to connect to you.
Mike Mann:
Sure, yeah. Say before we sign out.
Tom Beal:
Cool, I mean, mostly I work with highly successful entrepreneurs, you know, million, five million, 10 million, 50 million in up type of scenario. I’m not working with many one -on -one clients right now, but I do have, if you go to, the URL king, if you go to tombeagle .com, it pretty much just redirects over to my YouTube channel, a whole bunch of other helpful, insightful videos over there.
Tom Beal:
And one of the things that I did find, and I talked about in the secrets here, step number three is identify and align. Years ago, when we were producing ridiculously amazing results in business, me and my business partners, I was financially illiterate.
Tom Beal:
So now I’m actually teamed up with some people and consulting and working with them. And while I’m helping them, I’m learning my financial literacy. So it’s been fun. So I’m doing a newsletter that gets out to over a hundred thousand people per week, and that’s pretty fun.
Tom Beal:
And so, it’s cool. And happy to sign up for that. If you go to tombeagle .com forward slash legacy, tombeagle .com forward slash legacy, it’s a free newsletter that talks about how to grow your wealth portfolio, and it’s working with some of the best names in the industry.
Mike Mann:
Cool, well this has been a great session and I’m so thankful and blessed and we just have another fabulous recording for the cloud forever. So I’m really happy and appreciative and I’ll see you around very soon and come back and visit again on my live stream.
Tom Beal:
All right, thanks for having me, it’s been a pleasure. I look forward to seeing you around the South Florida areas.
Mike Mann:
Absolutely, thanks buddy, take care.
Tom Beal:
You too.
Mike Mann:
That was awesome. So appreciative that I get such great guests. So we’re gonna do live domain name appraisal training. And then we’re going to the beach, except for I actually have work to do and I already went to the beach, but it’s just a theory.
Mike Mann:
Surrender, he put one in there. Oh, there we go. Mark did the correct one, thebestbeach .com. That’s when I need to appraise because that means we get to look at pictures of the best beaches. Bingo. So I’ll share my screen and we’ll appraise thebestbeach .com if you guys have any other superpremium .com to appraise.
Mike Mann:
Remember the goal is to teach you how to fish, not to fish for you. I’m doing the appraisal, but I’m not trying to give you a free appraisal. I’m trying to give you free appraisal training. So give me some good stuff here.
Mike Mann:
We’re gonna do the best beach in one moment. Thank you. . We always use Boolean even though it doesn’t work very well in Google. Google doesn’t have any competitors, so we’re trapped here. Monopoly, doesn’t know how to use Boolean, and it does all sorts of things, so you click on a bunch of crap you don’t need.
Mike Mann:
Nature of monopolies. They’re bullying you, and they’re ineffective and inefficient. So the good news is that the best beach comes with lots of great pictures, which is my favorite part of doing this type of work, looking at the pretty pictures.
Mike Mann:
This is just incredible. This beach is way cool. We need to go to this one. So 50 beautiful beaches. Caputas Beach, Turkey, man, that place is the bomb. Well, cool, so we have to appraise it so we know what it means, obviously.
Mike Mann:
And this is the best beach. So again, the object here is a superlative. It’s trying to be the best one in the world. Best beach is pretty good, and the best beach is basically just as good. They dilute each other, but they’re both equally good.
Mike Mann:
The breadth of this is that any beach that competes to be the best in the world, so for argument’s sake, there’s 20 or 30 beaches that may be listed as the best beaches in the world. So the breadth is 30 units, and the depth is one of those beaches that’s hopefully really profitable and really loves being called the best beach and winning that award.
Mike Mann:
Although the research here does not bear that out. We don’t see that branding anywhere. We see the word the best beach, but we don’t see anybody using that as their brand name, as their corporate sort of go -to brand.
Mike Mann:
But best beaches in the U .S., Golden Isle, Cape Cod, Santa Monica, that’s my spot. Sure missed some nice ones, but well, so in any case, the depth is medium, the breadth is also medium. And in that light, we will give it an appraisal, thebestbeach .com.
Mike Mann:
Again, it’s diluted by best beach, best beaches, the best beaches, best ocean, whatever. So we have to dilute it. It’s a good word, good expression, but it’s not showing a lot of commercial value. It’s diluted for a variety of reasons.
Mike Mann:
So it’s worth 5 ,000 bucks. Again, when I do this in the real world, I spend more time and I have a whole bunch of tools to figure out what the name is actually worth. So here I’m more of a guessing game, but I’m really good at guessing this stuff because I’ve sold a lot.
Mike Mann:
So we have sandwichislands .com from Steven. That’ll be our next one. You get a good sandwich there. The guy with the sandwich shop in the sandwich islands, that would be cool. That sounds like a job I need, vegetarian sandwiches in the sandwich islands.
Mike Mann:
Oh, wait, that place is cold, what kind of shitty island is that? They don’t have sandwiches, have penguins, they have penguin sandwiches. Trippy. It’s a sandwich island, so. Let’s review what’s up here.
Mike Mann:
First of all, we need to check Wikipedia to figure out which sandwich islands are. Spelled right, it’s doing exactly what I need to do. Disambiguation. Hawaiian islands. That’s awfully confusing. It’s definitely not Hawaii.
Mike Mann:
Oh, they’re probably sandwiched together. That’s why they call them the sandwich islands. South Georgia. Well, we know what it means. It’s this place, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands, British Overseas Territory in the Atlantic, rugged, you know, it’s cold, penguins.
Mike Mann:
The breadth is, you know, a handful of people that promote that place for tourism. So, but the depth is very deep because it’s an actual geo place. Although it looks like it’s called the South Sandwich Islands, would be a problem.
Mike Mann:
Let’s actually get into disambiguation. That’s the problem we’re having here, is we’re not sure exactly if this is the right target. So, Sandwich Island is no good. Sandwich Islands was the Hawaiian Islands.
Mike Mann:
So, here we have Sandwich Island, South Sandwich Island. So, the problem is it means several different things and none of them are that great and perfect and none of them have a ton of tourism at the moment, especially with that precise name.
Mike Mann:
And also, I mean, wherever it is, you know, it would be .co .uk because it’s a British isle. Again, that’s in the perfect contextual world. So, in a perfect contextual world, this thing would be worth a lot, but it’s not really the right expression and it’s not the right TLD necessarily for it to have maximum value.
Mike Mann:
So, something that I would actually need to study more to figure it out and understand it better, but bottom line is the correct thing is called the South Sandwich Islands. There is no Sandwich Islands.
Mike Mann:
The Sandwich Islands is something that somebody once called Hawaii, but there’s no indication. Well, actually here, this is actually the indication. So, this is the natural buyer and they have no money because they’ve never updated their website.
Mike Mann:
So, 2006, 2007, what did I tell you? Yeah, so the correct answer is that it’s interesting. It’s poorly targeted, doesn’t make a lot of sense. And it’s also hard to spell. And also, whether singular or plural, there’s too many negatives.
Mike Mann:
You dilute it to death until it’s not worth anything anymore. So, that’s what we just did. 3 ,000. NewYorkArchitects .com from Devenderpal. Let’s see, I forgot you can click on these things. There you go, nice buddy.
Mike Mann:
The gentleman, is he actually dressed like that or is that just his profile? Okay, so New York Architects. Well, we know what it means, that’s for sure. There’s a few ways of diluting it, which would be NYArchitects or NYArchitect.
Mike Mann:
But we’re really onto something here because it’s easy to spell, it’s easy to say, has extreme context. The amount of architecture transactions per day in New York is very extreme. You know, millions and millions of dollars a day transacted with architects in New York.
Mike Mann:
It’s 114 ,000 results, it’s pretty good. Now, there are a lot of people that are New York architects but they don’t actually use that as their brand name. So, it’s a distinction to keep in mind. If they used it for their brand name and their name, which they could do and they should do, certainly for their website, they should do it.
Mike Mann:
And you can just be NewYorkArchitects .com, do a bunch of cool stuff online and go meet them in person, incredible brand. So, we know what it means. The breadth is every architect in New York, the depth is somebody who’s smart should invest in this domain.
Mike Mann:
So, the answer is New York Architects, again, it’s diluted by the singular, it’s diluted by NY, but it’s such a great name that it’s not that diluted by anything. So, I mean, if I was an architect in New York, I would pay 25 ,000 for it and go collect a bunch of customers.
Mike Mann:
Then in 10 years, it’s actually worth more, not less. Probably worth more today, actually. So, I think the point is it’s a great investment and a great name. Easy to spell, I mean, relatively, if you know how to spell architect.
Mike Mann:
Everybody knows how to spell New York. So 25 grand, so that’s the best one so far. You guys, don’t put a bunch of weird stuff on here. Craig, Christ only knows you’re putting weird stuff. Rick’s a choir?
Mike Mann:
Is that supposed to be an O and not an I? I have no idea what’s going on with Rick. Craig, your stuff’s wack. We’re gonna keep looking through here. What else do you guys have? Michael has orderroses .com.
Mike Mann:
Sounds cute, but it’s not gonna be worth a lot of money because people don’t really, they use the word buy, purchase, order. We’ll find out in one second. I’m just looking to see what else you guys gave me.
Mike Mann:
Flower USA, that one looks pretty cool. Okay, so we’re gonna do order roses and then we’re gonna do flower USA. I’m just saving this one for later, so don’t forget. So the way I do that is saving it there.
Mike Mann:
So order roses, 100 ,000 results. We know what it means. It has some big advertisers up there. Not a brand name, it should be a brand name though. It’s actually a very good name. And it looks like it’s actually used a lot more than I would expect.
Mike Mann:
Can I think more of the word buy, not order, but whatever. My last company was named bidomains .com, not order domains. And this is order roses also. So it’s diluted by order flowers, order carnations, buy roses, buy flowers, buy carnations.
Mike Mann:
So it’s endlessly dilutable, making it not very valuable. So it’s actually a cute name, but it doesn’t have any intrinsic value other than its cuteness. We know what it means. The breadth is technically any flower company, but the depth is almost zero because you could find a replacement domain for very cheap because there’s thousand ways of rephrasing this.
Mike Mann:
So in that light, we’ll just price it. Order roses .com. It’s about 2000 bucks, it seems fair. Cool. So that other one, I have no idea what it is, but I was smart enough to save it on my paste screen.
Mike Mann:
Control V flower USA, see that? That’s interesting. Order roses and flower USA, just came from two different people, but they’re both on the flower theme, which I guess makes a lot of sense. They’re trying to sell this, I don’t know, sell the names for Valentine’s day, a little too late for that.
Mike Mann:
So again, flower USA, I mean, it doesn’t mean anything in particular, but we know what it, it’s not an actual phrase, but it is a brand. Sounds like a brand, it could, should be a brand. Keeping in mind the endless ways of diluting it.
Mike Mann:
Flowers USA, flower US, flower America, American flowers, American floral, American florists, US florists, US floral, on and on and on. So again, it’s contrived words that are shoved together that are cute, but don’t have an intrinsic meaning.
Mike Mann:
It’s not in perfect context, although it might make a cute brand for somebody to buy for cheap, so. 1000. I’ll do like two more and we will be done. Thank you so much for joining today. I’m just trying to see what I missed to see what the best ones are.
Mike Mann:
Bookticket .com from Don. Book ticket. Okay, so we’ll do bookticket .com. Let’s see what’s up there. That sounds pretty good. I guess what that site is called booking .com. So bookticket .com, pretty good.
Mike Mann:
Almost a contextual, I mean, let’s see how exact the match it is. And you can see this little pull down thing from Google. book my ticket, book train ticket. So the point being, there’s a lot of different ways of saying it, which dilutes it.
Mike Mann:
Book tickets, order tickets, I guess. Buy tickets, purchase tickets. Book ticket, though, it actually has 447 ,000 results. So that’s pretty solid. And the expression ties in to Google’s flight system calendar, whatever you call that thing.
Mike Mann:
So that’s a good sign. It’s still not an explicit brand name. It’s just an idea of contrived words like the other ones. Book your ticket, too many ways of diluting it. But that also indicates that it’s an interesting expression, book ticket, book your ticket.
Mike Mann:
I’d rather unbook ticket, personally, because it’s a lot shorter. And again, in this case, it’s .au, which is of no value. Book your ticket, but I’ll say book your ticket. So there’s just nothing going on with book ticket.
Mike Mann:
It sounds cute, but this just doesn’t have a lot of value. A lot of these have a lot of the similar characteristics. They’re cute contrived words by domainers. 2 ,000 there, too. OK, I’m going to do one more.
Mike Mann:
And you guys are off the hook for the afternoon. Thank you so much. Let’s see what else I got here. DUI Barrister. I don’t know about that. Did I do this one already? NYCarloan. BTC Toronto. Gro -ro -ses.
Mike Mann:
OK, we’re going to do NYCarloan as our last one. And let’s see what’s going on there. Again, it could be NY, New YorkCarloan, New YorkCarloans. It’s not actually a brand name. It’s a cute compilation of words that mean something.
Mike Mann:
It’s the disambiguation part. We know what it means. So that’s cool. The breadth is any car lending agency that covers New York or anybody who wants to get into it. And the depth is zero because there’s too many other ways of saying it that people could buy in a replacement domain for $20.
Mike Mann:
Although it does have 63 ,000 landers. Just checking out these things. Again, in the real world, I’d have more time and more tools to get this more precise. And this is why Google sucks so bad. I’m asking for a Boolean expression.
Mike Mann:
This is not a freaking Boolean expression. I have quotes there. How in the world are they putting a period in the middle of it? And plus, I can’t check for case sensitivity. If I wanted to find a capital C in the middle, they wouldn’t find it for me.
Mike Mann:
I would just ignore it. They will ignore it. They ignore capitalization. And they add punctuation, which means it’s not truly exact match Boolean. And if they had competitors, they couldn’t do that. They’d have to give us a better service.
Mike Mann:
But they’re a monopoly. It’s bad news. So in any event, NYCarloan is worth $1 ,000 in generous there. And it could be endless words. It could replace loan with loans. You could replace car with auto, NY with New York, and every derivation therein.
Mike Mann:
So it just sounds cute, but it doesn’t have any value. So there we have it. You guys are the best audience I’ve ever had today. So thank you so much. And have an awesome day. Hopefully, you’re literally getting to the beach.
Mike Mann:
Hopefully, I will in a couple hours after I finish my workday. So have an awesome day. Thank you.
