#56 How Mom's Death Inspired Footlocker Manager To Become Sports Agent

#56 How Mom's Death Inspired Footlocker Manager To Become Sports Agent

Footlocker Manager To Licensed Sports Agent in under 30 days…
This interview may be our craziest case study yet...
You’re going to hear from our client Evonda. After her mom’s death in 2020 she felt compelled to follow her dream and to become a professional sports agent. After finding our program she was able to receive her license in under 30 days…
Yes, THIRTY DAYS!!!
But Evonda will be the first to tell you, it wasn't easy getting to this point...
In fact, as you'll hear, it was REALLY hard work. She is a machine. She did things most people simply aren't willing to do. Simple things. Things we suggested. But still most people won't do the work.
So while I'm excited for you to hear Evonda’s story, I’m not saying your results will look like Evonda’s. Unless you’re an absolute machine like she is, they won’t. But you can definitely learn from her experience.
For instance... You’ll hear how she tried a sports management program that was good but not good enough to help her become an agent. She’ll share her horror story about falling victim to pyramid schemes in the past.
And she’ll reveal the biggest obstacles she had to overcome during the last 2 months since working with us at Checkmate Sports.
You do not want to miss this interview. It will absolutely shift your understanding of what's possible for you if you're willing to work hard and follow a proven system.
