Today’s Dropping Bombs episode brings back Patrick Manning, who launched ROK Financial in the middle of COVID, and it has since facilitated over $2 billion in business financing.
Patrick breaks down how one listener turned a single referral into a $12,000 commission, why he gives the training away free, and why 90 days of real effort creates traction. He also explains why business lending thrives in any economy.
Over 200 people reached out after his first visit. Only some did the work. The opportunity hasn’t changed, so the only variable left is you.
