Allow Yourself to Evolve

Thu, 27 Jun 2024 07:16:06 -0700

Today, we confront the myth of perpetual commitment.

In a world where perseverance is celebrated and quitting is often equated with failure, we're conditioned to think that once we set a goal, it's a binding contract we simply must honor. Our discussion today doesn't condone walking away from commitments that truly matter to us, but rather, it advocates for a shift in perspective on how we perceive our goals and responsibilities.

We'll delve into the liberating concept of releasing obligations that no longer serve us - those tasks or goals that drain our joy and erode our well-being, we'll also explore practical strategies to navigate such scenarios gracefully.

What is Fear?

Tue, 18 Jun 2024 06:00:00 -0700

Today I invite you to take a deeper look at an emotion that often governs our lives - fear. Fear most often presents itself in the uncharted territories in our lives, and is an unavoidable challenge in life. Yet it’s confronting this emotion and pushing through it that brings about growth and liberation. Leaning into fear and running towards it can be difficult to do, but our mission is not to suppress fear but to overcome it.

I invite you to take some time to think about how fear is governing areas of your life and how you can lean into it, conquer it, and come out on top with more knowledge and confidence going into the future.

Why I Don’t Grip Too Tightly

Thu, 06 Jun 2024 06:00:00 -0700

Today I’m talking about why I try my best not to grip things too tightly. This can apply in business, marriage, relationships with your kids, or any other area of your life really. When we grip too tightly we get fatigued and cause ourselves to be spread to thin as a result of the control we are trying to gain, so just be careful when you notice yourself gripping something too tightly.

During this day and age, things are moving really fast, and that means the decisions we make need to come faster. Many times we won’t feel like we can make the best decision, because we don’t have all information, and that’s probably true. However we still need to make the best decision we can with the information that we do have. Any decision is better than no decision. So I implore you, evaluate the information you do have, make a decision, and make it work!

Entrepreneurship is a TEAM Sport

Tue, 07 May 2024 08:53:50 -0700

Today I’m sharing some recent revelations I’ve made during this challenging season I’m in, mainly centering around business being a team sport. It’s so easy to want to do everything yourself and think that others are always the issue, but in reality the only thing that actually matters at the end of the day is humans. The real issue is systems, processes, leadership, etc. We have to make sure we are always taking accountability for the part we may play in issues that arise on our lives.

The One Thing Successful People Do That Separates Them

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 07:55:31 -0700

Welcome back to the Investing for Freedom Podcast. Today I want to talk about one thing successful people do that separates them from the rest. That thing is execution. When I was young I read a great book called Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done by Lawrence Bossidy & Ram Charan, and it left a big impact on me. Execution is going out and doing something and making it happen, sometimes you don’t need to have a brand new idea to have success, sometimes all you have to do is just get out there and DO IT.

The #1 Thing That Will Keep You From Financial Success

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 09:30:27 -0700

Unearth the ultimate obstacle standing between you and your financial aspirations. It’s Diderot effect, this principle says that spending can easily spiral into a relentless cycle of consuming more, often beyond your means.

But wait, let's get one thing straight! The message here isn't to stop spending entirely. Of course not! We believe that the joy of investing stems from the ability to afford the luxuries of life, the enriching experiences, and quality moments with loved ones. What we're emphasizing is the importance of maintaining a mindful balance, to prevent expenses from snowballing out of control.

Take a step today: challenge yourself and your partner, if you have one, to undertake a reflective examination of your spending patterns. Is your expenditure tipping overboard? If so, it's time to make some adjustments and commit to a leaner, more sustainable approach.

Where Do You Need to Make a Great Exchange in Your Life?

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 11:26:23 -0700

I’ve learned in life that in order to get something new, you must exchange something else. This can be in the form of habits, physical things, and more. So today I ask you, what do you need to give up that is no longer serving you in order to get to the next level in another category? In order to get to that next level, you need to take an honest look at your life, your business, whatever it is, and identity where you need to trim the fat. Trim the things that are not serving you anymore, because those things are no longer helping you go forward, rather they are doing the opposite, making you stagnate. Identify, trim the fat, and propel to the next level of your life.

But that's not all – mark your calendars for a special dinner event on February 23rd in Scottsdale, Arizona, exclusively for accredited investors. Immerse yourself in the wisdom of guest speakers, engaging masterminds, and a network of remarkable investors.

Don’t Be Selfish!

Thu, 30 Nov 2023 06:00:00 -0700

Welcome back to the Investing for Freedom Podcast. Today we talk about risk, reward, being content, and selfishness.

I want to challenge you to look deeply into your life to find the places that you are being ruled by fear. By allowing that fear to overcome us, whether we realize it or not we are being selfish. You have a purpose and you can impact so many people, so answer the call, don’t be selfish.

And if you are a high earning accredited investor looking for some completely PASSIVE investments, we’ve got some offers. We have a 12 month, 12% return offering, and a 24 month, 14% return offering, backed by notes. If you are interested, text the word “investment” to 480-531-7519.

Is Your Knowledge of Real Estate Investing a LIE?

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 10:40:50 -0700

Welcome to a revealing discussion challenging the prevalent misconceptions surrounding real estate investing. Contrary to the popular belief of it being a fast track to wealth, let's delve into the real story behind finding success in this domain.

Many perceive real estate as a shortcut to instant riches. However, the truth is far from this narrative. Achieving substantial success requires a deliberate, strategic, and active approach. It's not an overnight sensation but rather a journey that demands dedication, hard work, and active involvement.

The allure of passive income often overshadows the reality that building a significant portfolio to replace a full-time job requires actively managing properties, dealing with tenants, and navigating the dynamic market landscape. It's a hands-on venture that demands time and consistent effort.

In recent years, real estate has acquired a certain glamour, leading many to believe it's a straightforward path to financial freedom. Yet, the journey is anything but easy. The truth lies in consistent effort and perseverance, not instant gratification.

For those seeking passive income through real estate while managing a business, the key lies in patience and a gradual approach. Acquiring properties over time and using them to supplement income can pave the way toward long-term success.

Real estate investing isn't a magic bullet for quick wealth; it's a journey that demands dedication, hard work, and a strategic approach. By understanding the reality behind the hype and embracing a steady, deliberate path, individuals can gradually achieve their financial goals.

Join us as we dive deeper into this discussion, uncovering the truths and unveiling the genuine path to success in the intricate realm of real estate investing.

Don’t Fall For the Housing Hysteria

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 09:24:28 -0700

In today's exploration of real estate, let's steer clear of the headline hysteria. While the news may paint a grim picture, especially regarding multifamily demand versus supply since the financial crisis, it's vital not to get swept away by fear-inducing narratives. Instead, embrace the complexity and seek diverse perspectives to comprehend the whole story.

For accredited investors eyeing the affordable housing sector, there's an exclusive opportunity at hand—text 'mobile home park' or 'mhp' to 512-668-7617 for details on a tempting offer with rates of 12% for a 12-month term and 14% for a 24-month term. Stay alert for an upcoming equity offering and remember, it's not about ignoring the news but rather seeking a well-rounded understanding before making real estate decisions.

Tangible vs. Mythical Investments

Mon, 13 Nov 2023 06:00:00 -0700

Today, we're diving into the captivating world of investments—separating the real deal from the fantastical. We've got tangible investments, the sturdy pillars of wealth like real estate, gold, and jewelry. On the flip side, there's the enchanting realm of mythical investments—think NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and metaverse wonders.

🏡 Tangible Marvels vs. Mythical Wonders

Let's break it down. Tangible investments are like the rockstars of the financial world, grounded in reality. Picture this: real estate, a gold bracelet, or a glittering diamond ring. These are assets you can touch, feel, and show off at dinner parties. On the flip side, we've got mythical investments—the mysterious creatures of the financial forest. NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and metaverse goodies may sound magical, but are they as reliable as the gold in Fort Knox?

💡 What You Need to Know

While we won't play the role of financial fortune-tellers, it's worth noting that mythical investments are currently riding the rollercoaster of risk. We're not saying they're worthless, but the caution light is blinking. My advice? Think twice before chasing after those shiny unicorns. In a world where stability is gold, consider sticking to investments with a proven track record. Why not anchor your portfolio in the tangible? Real estate, whether it's the buzz of the commercial world or the comfort of a residential haven, offers a safer harbor. These tried-and-true asset classes have weathered storms and stood the test of time. The risk may still be there, but it's a calculated risk—far from the wild swings of mythical investments.

📢 Investment Spotlight: Your Ticket to Short-Term Gains

Enough with the myths; let's talk opportunities! We've got an investment offering that's as real as it gets. A short-term income fund with 12 and 24-month terms, boasting returns of 12% and 14%, respectively. Accredited investors, this is your ticket. Head over to wavemarkcapital.com, and let's chat about securing your spot on this investment. And whether you decide to invest with us or not, my advice still remains, don’t get caught up in the shiny unicorn craze. Cheers to Investing for Freedom.

Are You Making The Same Mistakes as Lottery Winners?

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 09:00:16 -0700

Are you repeating the same financial missteps as those lucky lottery winners? Imagine hitting the jackpot, only to find yourself bankrupt a few years later. Surprisingly, this isn't an uncommon tale, with one study citing a staggering 70% of lottery winners falling into this trap. Their errors include overestimating their newfound wealth, recklessly accumulating debt, and embracing extravagant lifestyles that bleed their fortunes dry.

Suddenly flush with cash, they plunge into bad investments, lavish living, and debt. It's a dangerous game, and you could be heading for the same pitfalls if you're not careful.

Your Circle MATTERS

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 08:02:43 -0700

You’ve likely heard it before, but the people you hangout with DOES matter. In a word filled with fear mongering and negative headlines in the news, surrounding yourself with people who call you up, inspiring you to be yourself and to be better than you currently are is so important. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when inspiration comes it’s a tree of life. We need more inspiration in our lives, not to say we shouldn’t know what’s going on in the world, but to say that we need to counterbalance some of that negative with the positive things in this world. A negative loop is not a good place to be, so I challenge you today to upgrade your circle, find more inspiration, hope and mentorship, and enhance your life.

The More Freedom You Have, The Less You’ll Fit In

Mon, 28 Aug 2023 08:13:41 -0700

There's a tantalizing allure to freedom. A seemingly counterintuitive principle whispers: the more freedom you embrace, the less you'll find yourself aligning with the familiar patterns of the crowd. This isn't a call to rebel without cause, but rather an invitation to consider the life less traveled, the path less trodden.

Imagine the spectrum of life. On one end, there's the comfort of the ordinary — a life intertwined with the safety of the herd. On the opposite end lies the extraordinary, where stepping away from convention can lead to a world of boundless opportunities. Straddling this spectrum requires courage and the understanding that, at times, the quest for a remarkable life means feeling out of place. And that's okay.

It's more than just a philosophical stance. This mindset extends to our financial decisions. While the masses might find solace in traditional investments like 401ks and mutual funds, there's a broader horizon out there. Why not explore the vast expanse of commercial real estate or delve into the intricacies of private equity? The financial world is vast, and its treasures are not limited to the known and well-trodden paths.

Today, challenge yourself. Reflect on where you stand on this spectrum. Contemplate the shifts in perspective and actions that could edge you closer to a life overflowing with fulfillment. Remember, it's in the moments of decision that our destiny is shaped. Choose freedom, choose growth, and let your journey unfold.

Goals & Values

Thu, 24 Aug 2023 06:12:13 -0700

Welcome to a transformative discussion on the profound interplay between the immutable core values we hold dear and the ever-evolving life goals we set for ourselves. Understand this: while the destinations we aspire to might shift with time's tide, the compass that is our core values remains unaltered.

Today, we dive deep into:

The essence of core values and how these foundational beliefs guide our every action and decision. They are the bedrock upon which our character stands, unwavering even amidst life's fiercest storms.
The dynamism of goals, and the need to embrace change. Life's journey, with its myriad twists and turns, often prompts us to reassess and realign our aspirations. And that's not just okay—it's growth.

Yet, how do we strike a balance? How can we ensure that while our goals remain adaptive, our core values stay firm? The answer lies in precision. It's essential to keenly understand and define our values, ensuring that even as the winds of circumstance change, our foundational beliefs remain our guiding light.

So here's a challenge for all our listeners: embark on an introspective voyage. Define your core values with unwavering clarity and align your goals around this solid foundation. By doing so, you prepare yourself to face life's dilemmas with a fortified heart and mind.

On a special note, for those seeking to delve even deeper and align their aspirations with their partner, Mike and I present a unique opportunity. Join us for a couples workshop centered on values, goals, and the beautiful dance between the two.

When: 26th & 27th August

Think Bigger, Think Business

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 06:01:00 -0700

Welcome, visionary thinkers and future billionaires, to an episode designed to shift paradigms and redefine financial aspirations.

The allure of becoming a millionaire captivates many, but today, let's challenge that boundary. Why settle for one million when the horizon of 10 million, 25 million, 100 million, or even a staggering billion beckons?

Traditionally, real estate has been synonymous with wealth creation. While it remains a robust avenue, there's an underlying pattern to the success stories of the ultra-wealthy. These magnates typically ignite their wealth journey by pioneering successful businesses. As these ventures flourish, they astutely diversify their gains into real estate and other high-growth assets.

So, if you're yearning to ride the entrepreneurial wave and tap into its wealth potential, ponder this: What unique business idea aligns with your passion and skills? How can this venture be your launchpad to not only monumental wealth but also daily joy and fulfillment?

For the ambitious men out there, the Freedom Elite Community beckons. It's more than a group—it's a movement. Here, you'll find an environment teeming with camaraderie, knowledge, and inspiration. Engage in personalized Q&A sessions, gain insights from exclusive guest speakers, and network with individuals who share your lofty goals.

Eager to take the plunge? Delve deeper and uncover a wealth of opportunities at freedomelite.co.

Thank you for joining us on this enlightening journey. Here's to dreaming, daring, and redefining limits.

Relationships Are The Most Important Thing

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 04:00:00 -0700

Welcome to an episode that truly strikes at the core of why we hustle, strive, and invest: the pursuit of Freedom. This intangible yet immensely powerful concept is not just about financial independence, but more importantly, it's about time liberation—the ability to command your own clock and spend it on what truly matters.

In today's conversation, we place the spotlight on the heart of freedom: Relationships. Investing time in our loved ones is the greatest dividend-paying venture we can engage in. Relishing moments with your children, cherishing every laughter, every tear, every memory, will never lead to regrets. Conversely, an excess of work, at the expense of family and friends, might just be a source of remorse later on.

Remember this: As you watch your kids grow, it's a universal sentiment that you will yearn for more of those precious moments spent with them. Time, my dear listeners, is an unforgiving sprinter; it rushes past before you know it.

Today, I am here not just as a host, but as a reminder and a mirror, urging you to keep the reasons for your diligence at the forefront of your consciousness. I implore you to take a moment today for introspection. Ask yourself, "Am I devoting ample time to the people I love?"

This episode is a call to remember what's important and to encourage a balance between the pursuit of freedom and the nurturing of relationships. Together, let's make the journey of life not just about success, but about significance.

And if you and your partner are interested in a virtual couples community to grow and connect with, check out our Next Level Couples Community. We have monthly calls and guest speakers. If you are interested, text the word ‘couple’ to 480-531-7519 or go to nextlevelcouple.com. You do not want to miss out on this community, it will be opening up in July for a short period of time, so get on the wait list now!

Mon, 05 Jun 2023 08:18:39 -0700

Welcome to an intriguing discourse on business longevity versus the instant gratification of a quick sale. Today, we delve into the critical question that drives entrepreneurs: Is your business built to cash out, or is it engineered to endure the test of time?

We propose that the ultimate method to lead your enterprise to an attractive selling point is through painstakingly constructing it to last. It is not merely about the durability of the business, but also the legacy you imprint and the substantial impact you generate.

This episode invites you to shift gears and perceive your business in a new light. If our discussions today have stirred a transformation in your mindset, we encourage you to reach out and share your insights with us. Text us at 480-531-7519; your perspectives matter to us.

EVERYONE Should Invest Passively

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 03:30:00 -0700

In this exciting episode, we delve deep into the crux of financial success— the compelling practice of passive investment. Our discourse is not just centered around how everyone can harness its potential, but also why it's absolutely imperative to do so.

We're not discounting the thrill of actively pursuing your own deals or the satisfaction derived from investing in your own business, far from it. However, we emphasize the profound impact that diversification can have on your portfolio. We're talking about achieving an all-weather portfolio that holds its ground even when the economic terrain gets tough.

Imagine having a robust set of investments, each functioning as a pillar, supporting your financial structure. If one industry unexpectedly collapses, you're not left scrambling in panic, but rather standing on the sturdy platform of your other investments. This multifaceted approach to investing ensures a smoother ride in the volatile world of finance.

If you haven't embraced passive investing yet, this episode is the nudge you need. Consider this: the best time to start was yesterday, but today presents itself as the next best opportunity. So why wait? Join us as we embark on this illuminating journey and help you lay the groundwork for a secure and prosperous financial future.

Allow Yourself to Evolve

Fri, 26 May 2023 03:30:00 -0700

Welcome to an empowering edition of our show, where we delve into the intriguing realms of goal setting, personal pursuits, and the often-overlooked power of choice. Today, we confront the myth of perpetual commitment.

In a world where perseverance is celebrated and quitting is often equated with failure, we're conditioned to think that once we set a goal, it's a binding contract we simply must honor. The reality, however, tells a different story. Our discussion today doesn't condone walking away from commitments that truly matter to us, but rather, it advocates for a shift in perspective on how we perceive our goals and responsibilities.

We'll delve into the liberating concept of releasing obligations that no longer serve us - those tasks or goals that drain our joy and erode our well-being. After all, life is too short to be cluttered with activities or commitments that engender unhappiness.

In this eye-opening conversation, we'll also explore practical strategies to navigate such scenarios gracefully. Whether it's finding an escape route from the dread-inducing task or outsourcing the parts that spark stress rather than joy, we're here to equip you with the tools to lighten your load.

So buckle up as we venture into a discussion designed to inspire introspection, spark empowerment, and most importantly, remind us all that we hold the reins to our own lives. We owe it to ourselves to foster an environment of contentment and fulfillment, even if it means redefining our understanding of commitment.

Celebrate the Wins

Fri, 19 May 2023 03:30:00 -0700

Welcome to another insightful episode where we delve into a topic that can truly elevate our lives and fuel our drive: The Power of Celebrating Your Successes.

In the midst of our ambitious journeys, we often become so engrossed in scaling the mountains of our dreams that we overlook the landscapes we've already conquered. This episode shines a light on the importance of taking a moment to look back, rejoice, and find motivation in the strides we've made, rather than simply charging toward the next summit.

High performers like us thrive on our tenacity and ceaseless motivation. Yet, these qualities can sometimes tether us to a perpetual cycle of 'chasing' — we're so focused on achieving the next goal that we forget to appreciate the accomplishments we've amassed thus far. There's immense value in our journey, and it's essential to remember that the celebration of success is not a detour; it's a key part of the process.

For today's discussion, I'll be sharing my personal approach to acknowledging and celebrating my victories. It involves a practice as simple and profound as journaling. This mindful activity allows me to document, reflect, and genuinely appreciate every win, regardless of its size.

And now, we want to know how you mark your milestones. How do you ensure you're taking time to honor your achievements? We would love to hear about the unique and inspiring ways in which you celebrate your successes. Reach out to us on our social media platforms and let's initiate a conversation around this empowering practice.

Remember, your journey is not just about the destination, it's about appreciating the strides, the efforts, and the wins that propel you forward. Celebrating your successes is not only gratifying, but it can also replenish your drive and fuel your journey ahead. So, let's pause, look back, and celebrate every step of the way!

On today’s thought-provoking episode, we're about to embark on an enlightening exploration into the financial landscape of 2023. Tune in as we discuss how the allure of shiny, new investment opportunities might not always be the golden ticket to wealth that they seem.

The world has been abuzz with talks of cryptocurrencies and NFTs - the new-age "shiny objects" that have taken the financial world by storm.

We delve into the risks and rewards, and why diversification should always be your go-to strategy.

Ready, Fire, Aim

Tue, 09 May 2023 03:30:00 -0700

Welcome to a thrilling new episode that promises to completely flip your traditional perspective on decision-making. Today, we're exploring the dynamic concept of "Ready, Fire, Aim". Yes, you read that right - at first glance, you might assume we've got our words mixed up. But there's method in our madness! This episode delves into why sometimes, it's not only okay but essential to 'fire' before you 'aim'. It's all about momentum. After all, you can't steer a parked car, can you?

Our discussion today challenges the ubiquitous notion of "Ready, Aim, Fire". It encourages a proactive approach over excessive planning and overthinking, conditions often leading to the dreaded analysis paralysis.

The beauty of the "Ready, Fire, Aim" approach lies in its core belief that it's better to start moving and pivot as necessary, rather than waiting for the perfect plan or moment. You'll learn that readjusting your aim isn't a symbol of failure, but a testament to your adaptability and resilience.

I invite you to apply the "Ready, Fire, Aim" methodology in your life. Take action, start moving, and remember: you can always recalibrate your aim as you go along.

Get ready for a mind-opening discussion that will help you break free from the chains of over-analysis and jump into action. So, fasten your seat belts and let's set off on this exciting journey together!

Sun, 26 Mar 2023 23:05:00 -0700

Welcome back to the Investing for Freedom Podcast. Welcome to today's episode where we dive into a topic that is near and dear to our hearts: Freedom. We often take our freedom for granted, but the reality is that it is a privilege that must be fought for and earned.

But what is the point of having freedom if we don't know what we're doing with it? That's why it's important to have a mission in life - something that we are working towards, something that gives us purpose. So, take some time today to reflect on your mission and start planning how to execute it.

And for those men out there looking for a community of like-minded individuals to grow with, check out the Investing for Freedom Elite Community. It's a place where you can connect with others who share your values and vision for the future. To join, head over to freedomelite.co or simply text the word "elite" to 480-531-7519.

Staying the Course To Get To Your Best Case Scenario

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 00:05:00 -0700

Welcome back to the Investing for Freedom Podcast. There's best case scenario, there's worst case scenario, and often where we land is somewhere in between.

My friend Justin Donald dropped that knowledge during our Next Level Couples Mastermind event in Austin, TX. And it's worth keeping in mind when we're cultivating a mindset around entrepreneurial endeavors like new investments and future ventures.

In this episode, I dive deep into this concept and share what I've learned while contemplating and putting this notion into action during these challenging times.

The 3 Types of People

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 00:05:00 -0700

Welcome back to the Investing for Freedom Podcast. Today I’m taking about 3 different types of people. Type 1: The kind of person who jumps right in and learns as they go, the risk taker. Type 2: Somewhere between type 1 and 3, researches and prepares, but also takes action. Type 3: The type of individual who prepares & researches a LOT before jumping into something, safe and cautious. I want to ask yourself what areas of your life are being ruled by each type. Being somewhere in the middle as a type 2 is ideal, taking risks but also being ready and prepared. Get out there and learn, but also don’t be afraid to fail and make mistakes. Where can we adjust to better set ourselves up for success this year?

If you and your partner are interested in joining the 2023 Next Level Couples Mastermind, text the word ‘couples’ to 480-531-7519, spots are limited!

Everything we need is on the other side of the human, so we have zero excuses, go network!

During your training, instructors always tell you that if there’s an emergency while flying the first thing you need to think about is Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. We can take this concept and apply it to life and business, we should always be thinking and preparing what we would do in certain scenarios that may arise so that we are always prepared for whatever happens. Aviate - pilot or fly an airplane, Navigate - plan or direct the route or course of a ship, Communicate - share or exchange information.
