TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read): Here’s the short version for skimmers. But if you want the full receipts, screenshots, and step-by-step breakdown, keep reading — because that’s where the real value is.
TL;DR: Marshall Clayton (a Disabled Veteran) invested $1,944 over 247 days (~8 months, 4 days) in education and credibility. He applied our simple B2B processing strategy and received three Stripe Capital offers totaling $12,900 — no SSN, no tax returns, no long underwriting. This is what “small steps, consistently” looks like.
Who Marshall Is (and Why This Matters)
Marshall is an ARMY Service-Disabled Veteran with construction corporations focused on government contracts. He didn’t come asking for a handout. He took a step, showed up, and followed through.
The Timeline (Receipts Included)
Step 1 — Education (Masterclass)
Dec 29, 2024: Marshall grabbed our end-of-year Masterclass for $99 and started learning the structure and funding strategy.
Step 2 — Consistency (Momentum Membership)
Apr 30, 2025: He joined Momentum at $99/month, showed up to the calls, watched the replays, and asked questions.
Step 3 — Credibility (Web Presence)
Jul 10, 2025: He invested $1,350 into a landing page + website enhancements to tighten up his brand and trust signals.
Total invested by July 10 (193 days / ~6 months, 11 days):
$99 (Masterclass) + $495 (5 months Momentum) + $1,350 (web) = $1,944 (under $2K).
The Results (5 Days, 3 Offers)
Aug 29, 2025: First Stripe offer — $2,700
Aug 30, 2025: Second Stripe offer — $6,000
Sept 2, 2025: Third Stripe offer — $4,200
Total offers: $12,900
in 5 days.
What He Actually Processed (The B2B Activity)
This wasn’t complicated. It was controlled, consistent billing between businesses (what we teach in Momentum).
Posted billings once or twice a month
$600 twice a month or $1,200 once a month
5 companies in the billing process
Up to $2,400 in one month
Avg $1,200 per company per month
Perspective (Do the Math)
Period: Dec 29, 2024 → Sept 2, 2025 = 247 days (~8 months, 4 days)
Total invested: $1,944
Monthly equivalent: ≈ $240/mo
Weekly equivalent: ≈ $55/week
Daily equivalent: ≈ $7.87/day
ROI on offers: $12,900 ÷ $1,944 ≈ 6.6×
He basically invested the cost of a daily combo meal to position himself for $12,900 in funding.
Let’s Talk About the Real Objections (With Love)
The #1 reason people give for not investing is money.
The #2 reason is timing.
Underneath both is fear — “What if it doesn’t work?”
I hear you. But the truth is:
Your bills won’t pause so you can build your future.
Your landlord or mortgage company isn’t mailing you a “3 months free to chase your dream” letter.
Waiting hasn’t lowered your costs — it’s only delayed your outcomes.
Marshall didn’t wait to “have enough.” He started with $99, stayed consistent at $99/month, added credibility with $1,350, and followed directions. That turned into $12,900 in funding — and more importantly, the doorway to repeatable business funding as he keeps processing.
Exactly What to Do (The Same Steps)
Masterclass → Learn the structure and funding strategy.
Momentum → Show up, ask questions, implement.
Credibility → Make your brand bank-ready (website or landing page).
B2B Processing → Start small, be consistent, document properly.
Check Stripe Capital → Offers come from volume + stability.
Rinse & Repeat → Keep it clean: bookkeeping, pacing, cash-flow awareness.
Transparency Note: Stripe Capital offers are based on your payment volume and risk profile. Results vary. Maintain clean books and healthy cash flow to repay on time.
Your Move (Start Now, Not “Someday”)
If you start today, you can put yourself in position to be funded before Christmas — just like Marshall.
