When he got out of the military this past year he was able to leverage what he learned in the Giants course to get noticed by several firms for potential consulting work doing federal contracting.
One firm in particular was having trouble finding the name and contact information for a company who was recently awarded a $180 million DOD contract in their market.
After 2 weeks of no success the firm approached Johnson for help. He was able to look up the information in less than 2 hours and send it to them.
Seeing how fast he was able to research the information the company immediately offered him a job with a starting salary of $200,000 per year.
But wait it gets even better ….
Johnson said coming from the military that he did not need such a large sum of money to live. He also learned from my studies that settling for a salary would only limit his upside potential and he would be selling himself short.
So he counter offered the client for $150,000 + 6% of gross revenue.
Today the company wants him to run their government division and eventually become a C level executive.
At this time he is deciding between 2 offers on the table from 2 separate national firms both wanting him to run their government division each offering six-figure base + % of sales.
In a statement Johnson said, “Eric I just wanted to thank you again, because without the knowledge you shared none of this would be possible.”
A few facts about this story that most of us know:
- Very few people get offered 6 figure salary positions.
- Even fewer get offered 6 figure salary + % of sales.
- And even fewer people get offered that from multiple companies.
It did not come for FREE.
But with a small investment in himself Johnson created a job on his own terms. He did not allow the WORLD to dictate his value, salary or path.
Learn the knowledge once. Have the value for a LIFETIME.
