Here at Flippa, we’re all about making opportunities possible for entrepreneurs across the globe, which is why we partnered with Stacked Marketer for a $25,000 business giveaway to a lucky winner!
The contest was won by Dana Wilde, the #1 bestselling author of Train Your Brain, who delivers motivation, marketing ideas, and business tips designed to break through limiting beliefs, and manifest freedom and success in one’s business.
Dana Wilde was ecstatic to find out that she was the lucky winner picked for the opportunity to choose the business of her dreams and run it.
Flippa couldn’t be more excited to provide a first-time buyer with the chance to start their entrepreneurial journey online with a Stacked Marketer partnered contest.
A Once In a Lifetime Opportunity
Dana first learned about the opportunity after reading Stacked Marketer’s newsletter about the contest.
“When I saw the chance to win a $25,000 business, I had to do it!” Dana said. “Flippa has been out in the market for a very long time. Very reputable service, it’s really incredible that they exist.”
“Flippa has been out in the market for a very long time. Very reputable service, it’s really incredible that they exist.”
Although Dana had known about Flippa for a while, she never considered herself to be someone who was in the market for purchasing a business.
True to her brand of having a positive mindset, Dana shifted her way of thinking about what she wanted. “I started thinking about this, and thought, I could win this. I would like to win this. I knew there were certain steps I had to take to prepare my brain for winning,” she says.
In her positive mindset, Dana explains that in order to attain something, you’d have to train your brain to prepare for that “something” as if it were already there.
She applied this thinking into practical, actionable steps and went on Flippa’s website in search of possible businesses she could purchase for $25,000. To become familiar with the process of acquiring a business on Flippa’s marketplace, she purchased a business for $150 before actually winning the grand prize.
Immediately, the self doubt started creeping in.
“You’re getting push back. You start to have that argument in your head with your brain, then find a different way,” Dana said. “In this particular case, I let go of the outcome. I knew I wanted to get to the feeling like I already won.”
Dana started with positive affirmations about winning the business, like, “winning this business would be fun”, “this sounds like fun”.
Ultimately, Dana told her email list subscribers about the contest and the benefits of the opportunity, presenting the opportunity as a fun project to manifest.
“I don’t get many opportunities to manifest, so I love using my brain to get what I want,” said Dana.
And she did. When she opened her email one day and saw the announcement that she had won, immediately she knew her brain had allowed her to elevate her training to a different level, in what she calls “brain power.”
