From College Kid to Automated Agency Owner, The Tyler Murdock Story - Different Hunger

we are live what's up mr. Tyler Murdock I'll just give you a quick introduction and then we can dive right in but mr. Tyler the college dropout phenom agency extraordinaire right but yeah so Tyler Tyler we started working together a few months ago and you you've got an amazing incredible story that I'm really excited to share with

the d-h tribe in the community and you know you've been able to achieve some things in a rapid amount of time that many people dream about achieving their whole lives so it's been amazing to be part of your journey and your success and I'm really excited to dive into your story and let people know you know how

you did it and now they can do it because you know you said it yourself you're just you know you're just a hungry college dude who can you know if you can do it then anybody can but Tyler tell us a little bit about who you were a few week or sorry a few months ago before we

started working together yeah thanks Matt Oh dad I'm excited to be on right now and just talking you guys so yeah I like like Matt said I was just not sure really what I was what I wanted to do I was kind of spinning my wheels so I I knew that I am just not fit for a

nine-to-five job like like honestly like every time I got a summer job or did anything I was just like this sucks like this feels like hell like like my hell I think would be a nine-to-five and just like just counting my hours and knowing that I was like I wasn't actually creating any value I was just working

the clock like that's just I just is insane to me I mean no I mean with all respect that's great for some people but I just it just has never been that way for me and so so yeah so like I just knew that like after college I would have to probably do it 9:00 to 5:00 and

I spent some time in corporate offices and hated it I knew like just the politics and everything that I was just just now I wanted it all and so I knew that there was something else and I wanted to be able to have freedom not only to have to create wealth but to also have freedom of time

and so like I know people that are like doctors and lawyers and they make great money there they do well but the problem is is they don't have any time but they literally like may have just their evenings right and they work five or six days a week or even seven days a week yeah just not for

me anyway so so I was looking for a few things I started doing agency work I started just hustling trying all these different things and you know there's all these experts out there that just promise they're gonna make you all this money you know it's success all that garbage and so I I didn't buy into that because

I knew also that I wasn't doing this just for myself I was doing this because I wanted to make an impact and I wanted to help people and so my thoughts were okay if there was a way that I could impact more people well I can help people and create like this with this massive value Wow improving

my financial situation that's the way to go and so I was I saw different hunger and I just they just resonated with me and not in that part of me that I just knew that I needed to take action when I saw the the webinar I just was like okay I'm doing this I don't know how I'm

gonna do this I don't know how I'm gonna afford this I don't know if I'm gonna sell my car or if I'm gonna like donate my kidney or something you know but I just knew that I was I knew I was gonna do it and so in that decision I didn't tell my parents anything new pissed so

I just I just said you know what I'm gonna do this and and so obviously previously I had I had experience with starting an agency I was I was trying to kind of figure that out and I had you know for months under my belts and at that point I was able to then it was just right

and so I jumped in it was scary I mean I was terrified because I really think that like I knew what I was doing I didn't to the time but I was able to really like just like jump in and do it so that was that was where I was before I started working with you awesome yeah

so I I mean I totally relate to that I I ended up working like well I worked with my uncle right after college which was kind of like a chill remote job and then I got one full-time job but that was it and you know I just didn't last so you know I I respect and admire you

for taking that plunge so early but yeah you know that's awesome you were just super committed clearly and super hungry so I mean what in particular were you like struggling with in terms of you know getting your agency going getting your business going and you know building the impact and the lifestyle that you want it right yeah

so I just remember I was doing like I was I feel like I was doing a call center for my room for my dorm room because like I was just always on the phone and I was doing all this like work that I didn't need to do and I was getting paid like 200 bucks for client so

I was I was doing a lot more than I needed to and I felt like he got to a point where I was like man I'm the irony I was I was trying to escape being an employee and working a nine-to-five yeah I'm working all these hours and now I feel like instead of one boss I have

five bosses all on my back and they're all trying to just like you know tell me why I am not doing enough for them and I'm just like doing everything pretty much I feel like sometimes I'm like manic is this my is this my startup is this my business because I'm doing all the work like you know

so I realized that there was an unhealthy balance imbalance in what I was doing and I knew that this wasn't the dream and I tried to catch it early because I knew that that it would only get worse if I kept going so that's that was also part of like this where I was stuck was I was

just like man I'm barely making a few thousand dollars and I'm doing all this like crap it's just anyway that's kind of what was that gadget yeah so you know you had a you had a few clients but they were taking up all your time they were demanding I mean you're only charging what like a few hundred

bucks a month right yeah and the irony was that I feel like when you charge less people for some reason don't appreciate you and they and they ask for more of your time and as soon as I made that shift so once I started working with you guys like I made this like mental shift and it was

it was pivotal like I think this was like one of the biggest things for me like the biggest breakthroughs so far in helping me as an entrepreneur was like I am valuable and worth yeah I just worth you know and so as like I can I can find people that are willing to pay $2,000 for my services

and so I made that shift and that's when everything just kind of changed and my game my Drive elevated as well as my income and I was able to do so many like I was having so many cool things that summer last summer because of that so yeah awesome so tell us a little bit you know you're

you're working with a few clients they're taking up all your time you know you're charging a few hundred bucks a month and you're just not really happy with your your lifestyle and your timing and your impact so you know you decide to jump in right and tell us you know how did the first few weeks go for

you you know what type of results did you achieve and you know take us through your journey yeah yeah okay cool so uh so I hide away a little bit to get funding and that was like I was like you know fighting at the bid just like I want to get started you know it's like what's a

gust once I got funny like that night I remember I was just like I've gotten this really quiet spot in my house and I just like watch like like I binge watch these videos for a little bit and and the first video really hit me it said this this course can do what you what you make it

you know what I mean like so you like you have to put in the effort but also at the same time like this could be the thing for you and I remember just like I like positive and I just thought about that for it for a little bit I realized this is it you know this is I'm

going to choose right now at this very moment to not go back to what I was doing before and then so I started it's like implementing everything really like figuring out all the pieces of my business and helping optimize it into where I could actually grow right and say gross scary instead of feel like I have 20

bosses and then I just made those jumps I made those leaps of faith to do those things that may be uncomfortable but I knew that I needed to do to grow and so one of those things was raising my prices so I had I got on the phone with a few of my clients and I just said

and I told him I was raising my prices from $300 to $2000 and and they were like you know I lost clients I lost some clients but they but a lot of them I was actually really surprised that they wanted to still work with me and so I ended up going the first week I switched over to

of my clients and sorry I didn't go ahead and you know we're returning revenue each month of $4,000 which is amazing and then and I got another one so I ended up being six by two weeks I had I had 6k in the bank and I was like man I've never never really had this kind of stream

of income so it was just amazing and then like three weeks later my family is like hey we're gonna go on this vacation we're gonna go to Lake Powell and so then you saw John houseboat and just kind of cruise and oh but by the way there's no Wi-Fi good luck you know like that's what my thoughts

were anyway was good luck but a thing is the the process of the course with was also something it wasn't just a course like there was the recalls in place to help me to prepare for that trip and help me need to build my system so there like when I left I was able to have my team

take care of everything and I just had an awesome amazing trip I didn't even like really think about my business which is so like refreshing because yeah like there's nothing like we talked law in this industry about like laptop lifestyle right but the problem is that we don't really like live that freely a lot of times because

we like to come change our laptop which which sucks not fun at all so yeah I had that I was just like dude this is this is really living this is why I have a business I don't have a business so that I have a job I'm a business so that I have life so yeah anyway I

kind of rambled a bit but awesome ya know so I mean like you upgraded some clients you closed some new clients so added about 6k in like the first two weeks after you know getting some financing you know which we helped you with which you know was was pretty scary and we can talk about that and I'm

in a bit and then right after that you get right into setting up you know your systems so that you can step away and take that you know week trip with your family right so you know tell us a little bit about that transition from getting ready for this trip to you know taking a whole week off

of the grid without any client communications any team communications you know how did you get ready for that right and how did you know how did the course help you do that they yeah so so what I did is about three weeks I three weeks before I made sure that I I wrote down everything that I was

doing and I tracked my time that it took me to do those things so that way I would be able to know exactly what needed to be done so I started writing these documents and these these systems I started like thinking myself is kind of like a fast food chain okay like if if I had a chimpanzee

at a computer could he do this you know and I mean like I was trying to like make it super simple step by step not assuming anything at all but they knew about anything like I was talking to a child and I just listed all of these things and I just created all of these I used to

click up I used some of these these software's that were they were directed to me that you know by by different hunger and recommended and I just took all of these systems and I made it so that I could give it to anybody and they could they could work for me and then I found a team you

know a few team members and I had a few meetings with them of course before the prep and make sure they're ready and then separately from all of this I had fire hose protocol which is all of my like like if things go wrong this is what you do so that I had like okay what if their

ad account gets shut down what if this happens what if this happens you know and then I told him exactly okay you contact this you know contact support Facebook here there's a link and those kind of things are all of that including I had slack so I use slack to communicate with my clients as well as my

team members to make sure that everything is good and and then there's just more on information tools I don't want to get into all of it because it's kind of a lot but really like with the automation part different delivers in giving you the tools that you need to succeed there so like I think the bottom line

that right there alone is is priceless the ability to to like have a life and not not just because it's so easy to just think you know it's there's a romantic idea about owning a business but then some like one day you wake up and you're like holy I hate my life you know like I what am

i doing you wake up and you're just like this is not what I signed up for it so that alone it's kind of a gift of knowing that like you can't have control over your life and you can't have control over your business and that's anyway that's just like we all know that but like it's it's a

reality it actually happened like it's not it's not just a fantasy you can actually have that kind of control and I learned that freely I really appreciate that yeah totally yeah I mean that's awesome a zhing you know you you set up everything and everything was self-sustaining and you know you had that peace of mind and clarity

to step away and you know I know there was there was a probably a few weeks from the time that you first talked with our team and then ended up joining so like you know having gone through the experience now and gone through the accelerator and and all that I mean what would you tell Tyler or that

you know that person that was kind of in the process of deciding you know whether or not this was right for you and you know what would you what would you tell that person I would say that it's so worth it to go after your dreams it's so worth it to chase the life and live the life

that you want to live don't don't settle don't don't like live in security and unhappiness live even if you have to not have that security go after it because like and I'm still like early in my journey I feel like I still have a long long ways to go and that's something that like I'm excited about is

is that journey in the ups and the downs having a business and but like not just only like business development of a personal development and and that's the thing is I look back at who I was in May when I started and I am I'm way more confident I feel like I have way more control over like

my life and influence over myself and I also feel like I have more compassion towards other people because of that journey so don't like don't think about this only for your for your like your pocketbook or your wallet but this is also a way for you to really like enter a whole new mindset and Matt is called

it like God mode where it's like you're able to create you're able to be like a creator instead of just someone who lets your life just kind of like like you know but lets other people control your life and that's what I feel like is the biggest thing and cuz in college oh my gosh especially in business

programs they pretty much teach you they train you that you know these big businesses own you essentially yeah the things that I learned sometimes in these business classes they I'm actually now like I like to do the BART so I'm like now learning about you know the Renaissance and all that kind of stuff because yeah but but

like when I was trying to do business I like I realized they don't teach you that you have control and that's that's the thing it's is that was one huge thing and also I was able to travel into the world and when the China I was able to go to at the end of the summer I went

and climbed hiked the Great Wall of China and that was oxidized free thinking next I went to Mexico and went deep-sea fishing and so it's there's been experiences also that I've been able to get from from from all of this and so it's kind of a long answer but I kind of ramble but I would definitely say

like if you have any questions about doing it or like any reservations just like realize that your why not now you don't know how many you know like if you're not gonna learn it today than why I live because it's it's just it's now like we we only have today today's the only thing that exists so why

are we just like wasting our time in our fears and trying and making decisions out of fear because yeah that's no that doesn't help us anyway I get I love the stuff so yeah yeah I mean like you know you had people tell you not to do this right like you had professors and and other people tell

you not to do this right so like how did you overcome your your own fear and like not knowing whether or not this would you know totally work out for you like talk us through that process yeah so so yeah I mean I think that for me it was like all right so I have this professor who

was teaching at a university and not doing anything he's not he's on a business right now he's he's not like where I want to be and then I saw you living in Columbia and having this this higher purpose and helping all these people and being able to provide and and travel like I saw you stuff and I

thought okay so Who am I going to listen to am I gonna listen to the guy who isn't where I matter or the guy who is and so that's what I do is I try to model of my life after people that are where I want to be because you can't lead someone to where you're not asked

so like yeah I think that was that was the big thing for me it was like I got it I got a follow people that are doing what I'm what I want to do and yeah like I've done that like in other things too like you know I'm a singer and so you know that well that's the

thing is you just gotta like you got a higher you gotta be willing to hire that is that can take you there not like they're not there to save you there they don't but like is people don't think about this but there's that opportunity cost of doing of yeah you know you think oh you know I can't

spend two thousand dollars in this program I'm gonna save for four months you just realized that you you you four months is the time that you're paying for that that's insane like yeah like you you could be where you want to be in maybe three weeks and yet you're gonna wait four months it's just anyway so yeah

that's what I would say totally yeah and and you know you um you you had to you know figure out and be creative with how to get some money to invest right so you know we had our financing partner that was able to help you out and make this accessible for you so I mean what was that

process like right like first of all you know how how were you able to come to terms with borrowing some cash you know to invest in yourself and in your business and in the program yeah yeah so before before I came like into agency work I was actually working as entering for one of the vice presidents of

the university and I learned a lot about debt and I learned that the school that I go to is in a lot of debt yet they're running and they're growing and they're using debt as leverage instead of like consumer debt which is buying things that don't that are liabilities behind things that won't get you to where you

want to go right so I looked at it as it took me like a while especially I love my father I love my dad but because of his medical school he told me never to get into debt told me the debt is evil and that if you could go into debt that you're gonna know you're likely going

to hell and a half back like pretty much like like devil is a slippery slope which it is a slippery but she uses the wrong way but when you use it in the right way it can be ignored wonders for you because there are so many entrepreneurs that are successful even using revolving credits like credit cards like

do you think of brands like Under Armour and other you know there's a lot of examples of people that use credit cards even and that's what I had to do to put it bluntly I'd actually an even know that until I almost signed the paperwork so it was a credit card that I was signing to or you

know whatever but then I realized you know what no like I know what I want to do I know that I'm gonna be successful so part of it also with that is you have to like 100% believe first first of all you have to do the work if you're not come into the work then don't even you

know it's not this isn't for you but if you're gonna do the work and you believe you're gonna be successful yeah you just got like you just gotta believe you're gonna be successful and be willing to pay the price and so that's what I did and I was able to quickly have an ROI within two months so

like that's the thing is you just gotta remember that this is not like even worst case scenario you're still gonna you're still gonna thrive so don't don't fear don't a few dead yeah currently what I tried it that's what I tried not to do was just to like set aside those fears that I had because I had

that of course yeah totally yeah well you know I mean it's super inspiring you know just young dude making it happen yeah and you know you're able to travel to China Mexico like all over the world while growing the business while serving clients while managing a team and while doing some school work right like you know the

whole world is changing and you know Europe you're a great example of the revolution that's going through education and entrepreneurship and all this stuff right now so you know you should be super proud of yourself and all the amazing things you've done yeah I mean tell us a little bit about your agency and and and what you

guys do and then how we can follow along and you know stay posted on your journey yeah thank you thank you so I work with life coaches so especially like way and nutrition coaches and relationship coaches that are starting to really get a place where they need they need like they need more clients with any more group

clients and so I'm helping them start their groups of helping them to fill those through building funnels for them I help them to copy I help them with content but mostly yeah I'm just doing like all up there have you been gone you know recently in a podcast editing so I'm trying to really become like this this

like perfect solution for for that Lee's life coaches and so you going on the profile you'll see there's a link to join a group so if you're if you're interested in doing that if you know someone whose life coach I'd love to talk to them or whatever and see if it's a good fit but but yeah we're

able to get like I I recently had a client who she just she's like she called me cuz I also do like a little bit of I help them structure their business like and I've used some of these tools as well to really add value that I learned I learned in four different hunger and now like kind

of teach some of the stuff that's apply applicable and so I had a coaching call with her in and she was she's like oh by the way we move our coaching call cuz I just like totally booked my schedule and I totally forgot and and and she just like three extra business in the last few weeks which

is pretty cool so grab a lot awesome things happen and and the big thing for me is it's just cool to like watch all but he's all my clients to start like really like helping more people with their own personal development and stuff so it's pretty cool so that's what I'm doing and I love it I'm super

passionate about helping other people to - yeah - like get out of that fear and and make impactful choices their life so what I'm doing awesome dude well yeah I mean thank you so much for for sharing your story you know what's what's next for you oh yeah well I'm well this is an up day this is

not some update I'm doing okay all my classes now finally which is awesome but so I have some awesome content that I'm putting out pretty soon for my business I'm gonna go to bookings in next few months and yeah just trying to stay out of trouble graduate on time I have my graduation in May then you know

I don't know we'll find out I don't know what I'm gonna do yet maybe I'll just kind of travel a little bit be a nomad I don't know we'll see so that's what I'm up to so awesome I do a little thing to say I don't know like maybe someone needs to hear this or something but I

would just say like don't be afraid of being young in this space don't be afraid of being young because there are so many people that like and I've struggled with this myself honestly like there's been times where I've gotten a call or I've heard comments like dude you'd like you're 20 you know because I'm kind of young

face 19 sometimes so yeah anyway tell me like that I'm young and but don't be afraid of being done in this space because it doesn't matter how old you are it's about the results you're able to give people and way you're able to help people so so don't don't even listen to that crap because it's pretty soon

you'll find out that you're making more than your professor in that kind of or you'll hire one of your professors and then you feel really weird so yeah yeah you actually hired a professor right yeah I did so it's kind of weird but badness yeah that's that's that's we got to include that in your case study on

you know Huffington Post or next web wherever it's gonna end up but uh yeah that's that's a pretty wild story right was he the one who told not to do the program though he was different would the funny thing it is is I was not his marketing class and he had digital marking class I've hired with professor

little marketing yeah you know and but yeah I got a C in his class because he was teaching all this stuff that wasn't used anymore yeah just like yeah I might even waste my its time so I works true and he's still working for you young help me out with some content stuff so perfect well there you

go there you go college kids work with D H hire professors boom right but yeah dude that's so awesome you know like I always admire younger guys like you that because it took me until I was you know a little bit into the real world after school to really dive into building the business so you know it's

awesome to see people like you that just take action like crazy no matter how young you are right like you're I think you're a second and a third college kid that we've worked with like Leo Ahmad is the other one but yeah it's so cool to see that clearly the world is changing and you don't need to

do you don't need to go through that path anymore you can take a different route and really level up your life and impact at the same time like you said just got to overcome that fear let me tell you there are people that are pissed about that older generations are like yeah it's funny but it's it's awesome

the weight we relive in the best time I feel like we live in like the the best time to be an entrepreneur so waste waste opportunity we have totally awesome dude well Tyler thanks so much sharing your story with us and you know I can't wait for our next our next interview when I'm sure you're gonna have
