artists that make faith-based music. Ended up leaving his 9 to 5, literally quitting, and moving to a new apartment.
Speaker A
Watch this video so you can do the same. All he did was just implement the process. Okay, Donnie, I know you just had your first $1,000 day. Actually, two of them. You had two $1,000 days, right? Which is beautiful. What was your
Speaker A
main struggle before you joined Denn Circle? Bro, the most amount of money I've gotten from music production in general from before I joined was like 400 max in a month. And before joining, like specifically that month
Speaker A
before joining, I made like around 300, right? In a month from cold outreach, I was selling through DMs and stuff. Yeah. But before that, I had YouTube channels that are like with underground beats and, you know, get a sale here and there, but it
Speaker A
didn't—my sales never went above 400. I like, yeah, maybe once, but like that. Yeah. Didn't hit 1K, man.
Speaker A
Yeah, it's a whole different ball game now. But like for you, what do you feel like shifted for you after you joined Inner Circle?
Speaker A
Yeah, man. A lot, bro. I don't even know where to begin with, Sha. Man, I'm a whole different person, like personality-wise, you know. I'm me finally. I'm me, you know, like in the midst of joining your Inner Circle I
Speaker A
found God and also, you know, I just started seeing different people in our circle like getting more than making more than 2K a month, you know, and it just really motivated me to lock in fully. I understand that, okay, this
Speaker A
works because you literally sold me the same way just by using the same kind of steps, you know. So, I thought, okay, like this is literally like, yeah, this is what it's unbeatable.
Speaker A
Yeah, this is what's going to work. I already knew. So, I started grinding, started grinding, and I think in my first month I made a—I made a close back then I was still like really bad. Um, but yeah, I got my first
Speaker A
close and the first month I joined it was around like €800. I outsourced a little bit, so I got like in total I got like €500. It still is more than what I used to get. Then boom, the second month
Speaker A
came. Then the third, literally 3 months now. And this month I had, bro, it's literally the 12th day of April.
Speaker A
By the way, this is only the start for you. Like I'm not happy. This is, uh, 'cause you as a person, bro, like I'm not just saying that for marketing purposes, but Donnie, for those of you
Speaker A
who don't know, Donnie is a leader. Um, like your potential is way more than you think right now and like I want to ask you this question 'cause this is a very specific question. What changed about your belief system before and
Speaker A
after you got in Inner Circle? What did you think was not possible that you think is possible now? I know you moved to a new apartment. There's a bunch of things that you're doing right now.
Speaker A
What's more possible for you right now, man? Just being able to do it on my own, bro. Like, you know, like meaning not like on my own that I figured this out on my own but just be able to put food on my
Speaker A
table from me, like literally from doing the thing I love doing. Of course, like it comes with sales, it comes from a new skill, but it's just I don't have to work any job. Like I can do this from
Speaker A
music. Like I can literally live from music and I got like—I didn't even know I was going to get here so quick. I didn't know I was because at first, like literally before joining your program 2025 to late 2025, I was looking
Speaker A
at apartments to move to and I was just thinking of ideas. Okay, what job will I work? You know, what job will I be working to, you know, be able to pay the rent?
Speaker A
Yeah. Because I was working freelance. It was all over the place. And, um, and you quit that job, right?
Speaker A
I, yes. I quit the freelance. I quit—I quit the customer service job, I mean customer support.
Speaker A
Um, yeah man, it's bro, seeing that I can literally change my life. I can change my parents' life from this. I know I can.
Speaker A
I know that's my main drive is that I know that I can change my parents' life, which is why I really lock in so hard every day for that. That's like my most, like, emotional factor that's driving me. Um,
Speaker A
yeah, like a lot, bro. I can do a lot. And the same jump that you had from December to right now in April is minute compared to the jump that you're going to have next. And I just want you
Speaker A
to like realize that a lot more people will know you. And it's not about rappers and like fans will know you as like this guy who's, you know, supporting God in his music. And it's a bigger vision, right? Like for you right
Speaker A
now, like you're making, mashallah, like making more money from music than you would have worked in other jobs. But where you're going to go, bro, is going to be the next, uh, it's just a next next step. What do you like most about the
Speaker A
Inner Circle? Well, like most, man, honestly the transparency, bro. You know, everything, everyone is tapped in. Like especially I, I really enjoy that you have a built-in system where you get in touch with everyone which you
Speaker A
know you keep updated with everyone, you keep up to date with them. You keep following up, you know, like checking how they're doing, like how much they're making, you know, what problems they have. Like if you have any problem, I
Speaker A
write to you, you know, saying like for example, today I sent you a DM. I didn't know how to respond. And boom, now you just told me. And I was like, okay, okay. That's how I handle that objection. And what I like about it,
Speaker A
man, is just, bro, that it works. Like, I don't know. It's just a community. It shifted my mindset. It shifted the way I live, bro. I started, you know, I changed my group of friends right now. Like I don't really have, like
Speaker A
in person, I don't really have many friends and it's because of this. Literally the first day I joined. No, the first day I put like that much of money. Like that was basically like almost my last dime I had. I put it on
Speaker A
the payment plan to join it. And that day I knew like, okay, something big is going to happen. It just, I just felt it. Like I knew like I'm either going to learn from it if it's going to be, you
Speaker A
know, it's not going to work out. But I knew it was going to work out. It kind of like made me trust you 'cause you're so good at sales. So, you know what I'm saying? But yeah, I was
Speaker A
driving to the gym with one of my buddies I picked up and bro, he was like, "Man, I want to, I want to get some shrooms today, bro. I'm trying to get geek today, bro." I was like, "Bro,
Speaker A
I'm glad, bro. I'm glad, bro. I am glad." Now, you went from that and talking to Brahim and like a guy's making 11 and 6K a month and that's like your—I'm glad, bro. But it was you that made
Speaker A
that choice. It's just that, man, you know, five years of production, like seeing people like Wes before because I knew Wes before I joined, you know, I saw him make like from cold outreach like make 2K a month. I
Speaker A
was like, man, like if he can, why can't I, man? And that was crazy at the time. 2K a month. That was crazy at the time.
Speaker A
That was, that was insane, bro. Like that was crazy. And you know, that's kind of that kind of salary you get after finishing uni, getting a real job, you know. So it was like crazy for me and I was, I was okay, all right man, like
Speaker A
I got to do something. I got to lock in and, uh, I joined this out of the blue like really. I joined, I joined like a mentorship before you, uh, with this other producer that teaches how to sell beats
Speaker A
through DMs. And, uh, what I found out was, you know, that kind of like, I'm not going to lie, that kind of sparked me because I put, first time I put like, I put like 500 that time. That was like a lot of money.
Speaker A
I never put like that much into, like, okay, some, some something I can—
Speaker A
down the money you know. And I just started locking in. But I was like man something ain't it bro. Like just seeing Anto's reels, you know, it's like something in it. I feel like, you know, you want one of your reals really hit me
Speaker A
deep. Just thinking, man, I can't be selling beast through DMs all the time. There's no connection. There's, you know, just just a transaction, man. And um I was not getting a lot of money. So I felt like I'm I made like a intuitive
Speaker A
decision to join your program because I was like I wanted to get to the bottom of this but I could have waited and got better at cold outreach and then join but I was like no man I I want to know
Speaker A
everything because I saw you making calls and the way I got sold is by a call. So man I got to get to the bottom of this man and yeah like that. So I joined them. Yeah, once you know what the right decision
Speaker A
is, every second that you don't act on it is a second wasted. It's not uh you could have gotten that false dopamine which is like yeah I will do this after I get that and it's like no you'll get
Speaker A
that thing and the reasons will change I will do this. That's why people never take action never lose weight never do the things that are in their best interest for you Donnie do you feel like this mentorship was worth it?
Speaker A
Oh 100% man. Okay. What would you take? What would you say to somebody watching this um that wants to join but needs to think about it or invested in other programs in the past, didn't get as much results that they wanted? What would you
Speaker A
say to them? Cuz I understand them. Like I've like I've been in their shoes. What do you What would you say to them if they wanted to join but they had bad past experiences with stuff like this you said, right?
Speaker A
Yeah. Um I mean, bro, like if you join, you're in good hands right here. Like obviously uh seeing from what I'm I'm speaking what others speak um I know it's hard to trust someone if you get like scammed or
Speaker A
whatever since there's a lot of uh scammers in the industry here and yeah it's it's a big step but you know you only get like you get far in life if you take risks you know that I was talking
Speaker A
to my like I was talking to my dad like this other day and he he was speaking like he has like a a business aside business that he does from his teaching like regular job a 9 to5 where he
Speaker A
teaches piano he has a side business of like coffee machines right like he puts in different locations to get like extra money and he said what if I didn't finish school and I had that side business and I went full into it like I
Speaker A
put what would probably you know be already have like even a firm already I have like something big for myself. I have offices. I I actually like be scheming around the country like doing a lot of these um you know coffee machines
Speaker A
here there vending machines, vending machine business, you feel me? I was like, "Damn." And you know, my dad right now, he's like 55, bro. He's 55. And you know, thinking that is just kind of like like imagine that feeling. Get you be 55
Speaker A
years old and thinking what if what if you done this and that. Come on, bro.
Speaker A
Like just just take the risk, man. You'll learn more from it, man. Maybe if you join like there's two things you will learn if you join. You can learn if you join. one thing you join you see like you see it working you
Speaker A
actually get so you start making money more money than you already are making and get good at it get good at sales it changes your life second thing you'll learn is you'll learn that you don't put enough work in if you join and nothing
Speaker A
comes out of it you learn something about yourself and that's a win-win man like it's all up to you man like honestly that that's what I can say that's an amazing perspective brother Bro, and uh honest to God, if I have
Speaker A
more clients like you, leaders like you that make money based on their values, not just want to make any kind of money, but want to make money in congruent to who they want to be, I would have the
Speaker A
best life possible cuz you are my you are my ideal client. Oh, thank you, man. That means law,
