awesome story Malan. We certainly are in a complete control of our lives and our future. Never allow anyone to break you, never allow "NO" to be in your way. Create the life you know you're meant to live or die trying.
You are a brilliant storyteller! Looking forward to more life stories from your past, because I think many of us had similar experiences and can relate to that. Oh, and you have a new subscriber.
Great video dude! I'm currently in this phase of getting out of depression and doing something with my life. You sharing this story helps people like me. Thanks man.
I saw that same kind of advertisement in the 80's and wondered what it was all about. That Rock and Roll advertisement was in the newspaper every week. Ha! Good story!
I love this story and how you changed your mindset and angle and broke through! I sold Cutco cutlery door to door when I was in high school and I can relate to your experiences.
Malan, you're a great story teller and i could listen to your stories for hours. Thanks for the motivation. You sparked my obsession with am. Hope that in one year i'll have enough to come to the us to an af. convention and meet you guys.
I just started watching your channel. This is my 3rd or 4th video and my favorite by far! I used to be very good friends who were meat salesmen. It was a rock n roll day anytime they were around. One guy ended up with a Car Dealership. He could sell anything. One of the coolest dudes I've ever known. Ended up marrying a nurse who was the coolest chick I've ever known. Anyway, I like what your saying. Love your Tattoos! Love your channel and am gonna keep watching! Thanks! Tammie Parrish Miller
Thank you for making these videos they've helping me alot specialy this one. Am so intimidated and sheeps. I hate it this is the worst disaventage that someone could have.
Great story telling Malan, big thumbs up bro! Kinda reminds me of two older movies from many years ago - Repo Man and Boiler Room when you described the crazy people that worked at the companies. LOL
I had the same experience with Blue Ribbon meats in Austin Tx! Never became even a baby shark, but you're right about the cast of characters and experience.
Malan, You basically Launched and Optimized your Meat Sales Campaign. First optimizing the headline "Hi, my name is Anthony" and then optimizing your mindset. "I Refuse to Lose" Of all your videos, this one is my favorite. Thanks Malan!
Powerfull story dude! Did today an own video what connects the dots about how reality might work. Trying to hack reality the way you describe it. Thanks man. Inspiring!
As an animal lover and vegan, I didn't want to listen but I knew there was a another point to the story. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to more inspiring stories.
really awesome to hear these things and give people like me so much hope. I've been through some sh!$ past years and this one the most. Very happy for you bro how you overcame many things and become your own boss which is my plan. I can write a book about what I've been through I just need an awesome ending.
"If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right." Henry Ford (the other guy that everybody quotes). Nice vid. Enjoy your newsletter :)
Awesome story!!! That was fucking hilarious!!! I grew up in Big D. Was part of the Deep Ellum scene from early 80's to '91. Was VIP at Club Clearview. We had the Starck Club that sold pure and legal MDMA at the bar or by waiter like ordering a drink. Back in the day... Great times. Peace Brotha
It is mental..at my job..is pretty big corporation...the people in my office have been here for around twenty years..well I’m pretty happy-go-lucky and I would get bullied and they are so mean and (they ran off five other people before me)..so one day..I got tired of the bullying and I started acting just like them..I always had a sour look on my face ..I started being rude and didn’t give a flying crap...didn’t say anything unless it was rude and it completely threw everybody be off hahahah..no one bullies me anymore..I get mad respect and they stay away from me hahahahah..
The quotes you were looking for “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” ― Henry Ford “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” ― Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich
That's crazy I bought meat off one of those trucks and they told me their freezer was down as well lol. I got a better deal than the company you worked for though but it shed some light on the sales tactics I thought I hit a lick Ha Ha. Interesting story thank you for sharing and the quote “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” was by Henry Ford the only reason I know is because since I got into internet marketing I have heard it a few times. Isaac "Red Cloud" Johnson
+Isaac Johnson yeah everyone has bought off those trucks at least once. The "freezer down" line is pretty standard. -- Some people actually really liked the meat. There were regular customers that you'd re-visit very month.
I live in the Dallas area and know the exact company your talking about haha. Everything you say is spot on. About 4 years ago they would come around my old house occasionally. After about 3 encounters/no's (It seemed a bit sketch and I was usually poor.) I finally bought 1/4 a case for like $50 or $60 out of curiosity /they said the steaks were "great gifts". So worst case Id give them to a friend I'm pissed at lol.(they are definitely super persuasive!) The meat was SOOOO BAD tho!!! haha. I cooked one steak but couldn't bring myself to even try a bite. So I "gifted" it to my brother in law who ended up trashing em haha. Those dudes are crazy as u said and sketchy as fuck. But they got that meat game on lock. I never buy like that, always research first. But they got me eventually. Very interesting to hear their side. haha bastards : )
I have never understood why anyone would buy this stuff? They have stopped by my house and I don't care how good the salesman has been I have never bought anything from them, nor will I ever!
AAnd this is why you should never buy anything from a door to door salesman, especially if they approach you out in public. It is a complete scam and you will always, always, always, get a bad deal.
I've been saying that for yours. Been a door to door meatmen in st louis 5 years. Where a rare fucking breed that's for sure. We'd be out of a job if they did a reality show on us hahahaha
I've been saying that for years been a meatmen 5 years. Just sold out easy day $660 profit. All us meatmen have said for years we need a show but then we would be outta a job lmao
This story reminds me on how Bob Proctor puts it.. You attract into your life whatever comes in harmony with it. You attract what you feel :D Great story!
cheesy con man sales shit. I did it to in my younger years. Unfortunately, knowing you are screwing someone, conning someone, is not so great. I sold a different product, but the same tactics, plus more you didn't mention. I almost took a job doing something like you did for a company that started with a s.
+Malan Darras agreed. Glad life is on your terms now. Thanks for the m o motivational type vids. Stumbled onto your channel, and like how you express your success and failures as well. Very real and I relate. Thanks.
+Tony Roberts yeah man... pretty sure they still operate too. I've seen a few trucks over the years. I always crack up when I see them... Buyer beware.
Malan, i have a question. I want to start my own thing/business. I just have the idea that i want to change. The thing is that i need to know in what is want to do it. How can i find it, or how can i work on it? I have some plans, yet just ideas ..How do you know if it is the right thing to do? If it fits with you? Hope you could help me with that. Apreciate it!
5 yrs Old and Still Kicking Ass. #classic. III
awesome story Malan. We certainly are in a complete control of our lives and our future. Never allow anyone to break you, never allow "NO" to be in your way. Create the life you know you're meant to live or die trying.

Great story, Malan! I got a totally different vibe than if I'd have read it as a blog post. Thanks for sharing!
Words to live by. Every time i feel i'm done i say it to myself in my head. Hope you're doing great man!
Great video dude! I'm currently in this phase of getting out of depression and doing something with my life. You sharing this story helps people like me. Thanks man.

+mpbirk thanks man
I saw that same kind of advertisement in the 80's and wondered what it was all about. That Rock and Roll advertisement was in the newspaper every week. Ha! Good story!
Don't know why but this has to be the best video of yours that I've listen to on your channel? I love it!
I love this story and how you changed your mindset and angle and broke through! I sold Cutco cutlery door to door when I was in high school and I can relate to your experiences.
+Reid Yamamoto yeah man, if you haven't done door to door sales, you haven't lived! (glad to not be doing it anymore though haha)
Amazing story Malan.. (or David - that passage made my day). Thanks for that!
Malan, you're a great story teller and i could listen to your stories for hours.

I have never understood why anyone would buy this stuff? They have stopped by my house and I don't care how good the salesman has been I have never bought anything from them, nor will I ever!
my fifth time watching this mota-vation and when he described the office setting i thought of Wolf of Wall Street
AAnd this is why you should never buy anything from a door to door salesman, especially if they approach you out in public. It is a complete scam and you will always, always, always, get a bad deal.
true
The story of that company and the people who worked there has Netflix original written all over it.
+Michelle Leeper I have material for 1million episodes 😆
