Curious if now's the time to dive into real estate? First off, let's clear the air. While interest rates soaring may sound daunting, I'm not sweating it. Instead, I'm tuning into a trio of bank term powerhouses that wield serious influence over your real estate journey. But let's rewind a bit. Should you leap into real estate now? Are you after casual investment gains or aiming to build a real estate empire? Both paths have perks, but clarifying your intent is key. Remem...

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my ultimate sales secret. I'm in the real estate game, pitching investment opportunities to folks looking to ride the wealth train with us so it's a high-stakes, high-ticket game, and nailing that sales call is crucial. So, the counterintuitive trick I use to kickstart my sales calls? Weather talk. Studies from the book "Persuasion" reveal that weather affects our mood, whether we're aware of it or not. When I jump on a call, I kick things...

Today's joyride takes us into the wild world of cars and perceptions. Buckle up as I spill the beans about my trusty 2015 Toyota Prius C – the little car that could, and did, for the past six years. No fancy wheels here, just practicality and a splash of rebellion against societal symbols. Sure, I've ruffled a few feathers with my T-shirt and Prius combo. But I'm all about breaking free from the status quo. You won't catch me sweating over scratches anymore, either. Rocket, m...

I've got a bone to pick with the ultimate productivity myth…multitasking. I used to believe I was a multitasking maestro too, juggling writing, social media, and more, all at once. But here's the truth bomb…multitasking is a total sham. Your brain isn't a supercomputer, it's more like a clunky switchboard. When you think you're multitasking, you're actually just switching between tasks in rapid-fire. It's actually a massive productivity buzzkill. Studies have s...

My buddy Alex dropped some wisdom in form of a tweet: “There's no greater waste of time than justifying your actions to people who have a life you don't want." Powerful, right? This got me reflecting on a mindset I've been preaching for ages…never take advice from sideline spectators. You see, if they're not in the game, their opinions don't count. Only those in the arena matter. But if you wouldn't trade lives with someone, why on earth would you follow their ...

It's time to tackle a pet peeve of mine that's been bugging me: the "Limitation Defense Brigade." You know those folks who argue harder for why they can't succeed than for their own potential? We've seen them. It's frustrating when people hold onto their limitations like prized possessions, even defending them like it's a competition. But let's get real…the universe doesn't care. It cares about what you do with what you've got. You can eithe...

Today's episode is a game-changer, whether you're a coach, a manager, or anyone guiding others to success. So I used to coach rock climbing to aspiring athletes, some reaching the Olympics. One game-changing concept emerged that transformed my coaching approach and it can revolutionize your mentorship, relationships, and management style. Let's talk about "Coaching the Positive." What's the flip side of this? It's called "Coaching the Negative." It&ap...

Let's dive into a lesson I keep relearning, whether in business or life…the magic of follow-through and never assuming the answer is no. This revelation hit home when an investor, after multiple attempts, suddenly committed $100,000 to our real estate deal. It reminded me that in sales and beyond, assumptions can hold us back. We often fear rejection, assuming people won't say yes to a date, a deal, or anything we ask for. But here's the secret…you've got to believe the answe...

Today I wanted to talk about a DM I got about using prescription meds for ADHD, so let's dive in. I was on Ritalin for a decade since age six. Summers were my escape from it, but during school days…Ritalin's lethargy and hyper focus trapped me. At 16, I chose to ditch Ritalin and embark on a med-free journey. It wasn't easy, but I explored ways to manage my ADHD symptoms naturally. Now, here's the interesting part. Whether you're dealing with ADHD or just want mental cla...

I want to dive into a topic we hear a lot about…mentorship. Successful people everywhere talk about how crucial mentors have been in their journey, and that's no exaggeration. But what's interesting is that many folks, especially those starting out, often have a skewed expectation of what a mentorship really entails. This leads them to ask that dreaded question, "Will you be my mentor?" Here's the deal…mentorship isn't necessarily about sitting down for structured m...

So, I was just scrolling through Twitter, and I stumbled upon a gem of a tweet from my buddy Mark Manson. He’s the genius behind "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck" and other awesome books. This guy's been dropping knowledge on personal development and self-help for ages, and his YouTube channel is top-notch. Anyway, Mark shared these Five Ways to be More Productive Each Day, and I thought, "Hey, this is too good not to share with you guys!" So let's dig into it a...

Today, we're diving back into one of my favorite topics…building meaningful wealth. And here's the thing you absolutely need to grasp: Wealth is a ratio, plain and simple. It's all about what you make versus what you spend. Real wealth isn't just about earning more money…it's also about keeping those expenses in check. We've got to be careful not to fall into the lifestyle creep trap. So before you go all out on those expenses, really think about how much they'...

We all know you can be pretty successful without being a total expert, right? You can be a jack of all trades and still rock at a bunch of stuff, reaching some wild success. But let's talk about "mastery”– it's like the ultimate level up in life. But reaching mastery isn’t easy…it's a whole different ball game from just being good. We overestimate how hard it is to get pretty good at something, but we underestimate the massive leap needed to become a true master. And most of ...

I'm thrilled to share with you three incredibly impactful frameworks that have been my guiding light in both my personal life and my ventures in business and investing. I've always been fascinated by looking at the world through the lens of frameworks. It's like having a set of mental models that allow you to navigate diverse aspects of life with ease. You know, it's similar to what the brilliant Charlie Munger calls "mental models”…concepts and analogies that can be app...

Back in 2020, when the world was going through COVID lockdown, we were all looking for safe and responsible ways to socialize and have some fun. That's when I stumbled upon tennis…the perfect COVID activity. It was such a refreshing change as it coincided with a significant shift in my life, where I had to redefine my identity and find new passions. Tennis gave me the chance to start fresh, free from any expectations. And while I was just a beginner…the feeling was so liberating. Tennis has...

But not just any habits…these are the ones with the highest return on investment for 2023. You see, habits are like little secret weapons that have the power to transform our lives. They're the cheat codes to becoming more than we ever thought possible. And let me tell you, I'm all in when it comes to building...

I want to open up and share one of the most challenging lessons I've ever had to learn. It's a lesson I've had to relearn multiple times throughout my life because, to be honest…I'm a slow learner. There's something inside me that constantly struggles against this idea. I’ve always had this desire to be perceived as confident, competent, and intelligent. Throughout my younger years and even into my 30s, this desire to be seen as intelligent led me into debates, correctin...

I want to share with you a simple yet powerful idea that has truly transformed my life. Over the past 15 years, I've manifested this concept in my daily life, and it's been a key factor in the success I've achieved. In the past, I used to view my ADHD as a weakness, something that held me back from greatness. But everything changed when I decided to flip that perspective on its head. Instead of seeing ADHD as a limitation, I started seeing it as a unique strength, the driving forc...

In this episode, I've got something intriguing to discuss…the root causes of mistakes we make in life. We all know there are countless ways to screw up in our personal lives, businesses, investments, you name it. But if we were to break down those mistakes to their core, they all come down to two fundamental things. I got some interesting feedback on this topic when I tweeted about it, but after pondering, journaling, and soul-searching, I still stand by these two foundational root causes. ...

Today, I'm bringing you some tough love or maybe just that reminder you need right now to stop putting off what you know you should be doing and get to work. We all face moments of procrastination, and I had one just an hour ago while trying to record this episode. We must admit that most of the time when we're reading books, taking courses, watching YouTube videos, or listening to podcasts like this one…we're merely procrastinating. If we were genuinely serious about achieving ou...

We've reached the final episode of this nine-part series and today's lesson is a powerful one. I touched upon it in a previous episode titled "Whole Life Billionaires." It’s about money, success, and living a purpose-driven life. Now, these creators I spent time with were all incredibly successful, some even crushing the money game, while others were still figuring out how to monetize their massive audiences. But none of them were in it for the money itself. They weren't...

Today's lesson is all about the ultimate flex…health. In this crazy world, we're bombarded with flashy symbols of success…fast cars, fancy clothes, and shiny watches. But those things are just surface-level fluff. Real success goes way beyond that. The truest measure of success, my friends, is a healthy body. You either put in the time and effort to take care of yourself, or you don't. During the creator weekend, I was surrounded by the most incredible and successful people I&apos...

Communication is the key that unlocks any door. If you can't express your ideas simply and concisely through writing or speaking, the world will think you're an idiot. Writing is slow, tedious, and most of us suck at it. But here's the thing…writing is a superpower. It's not just about throwing words on a page; it's about caging your brain and guiding it through your thoughts. When you persist and push through the writing process, you come out the other side with somethi...

We're diving into lesson number six from my mind-blowing weekend with the internet's top creators. Now, we've all heard the saying that it takes 10,000 hours to become a master at something…but that might not be the whole story. According to the brilliant Naval, it's not about the hours; it's about the iterations. It's all about the quality of those repetitions, not just mindlessly going through the motions. Let's take my writing journey as an example. When I d...

Here's lesson five: The best of the best, the true champions, they're not just good at what they do; they're obsessed with it. That's right, they live and breathe their craft 24/7. They eat, sleep, and dream about it. Every detail, every nuance, every aspect of their business or creative endeavor is their obsession. During my time with these extraordinary creators, I saw it firsthand. Guys like Zach Pogrob, a YouTube sensation with millions of subscribers, and Chris Williamso...

We're on a roll with another lesson from my epic weekend with the internet's top creators. Here's the lesson for today…A players, the real game-changers, they think differently. Throughout my conversations with these incredible creators, I noticed that they weren't interested in being right. Instead, they were laser-focused on getting to the right answer as quickly as possible. These A players didn't engage in heated debates to prove their point or shut others down…they ...

Today, I want to unpack lesson number three: Hawks, Not Peacocks. Success isn't about flashy appearances or extravagant displays of wealth. It's not about designer clothes or expensive jewelry. In fact, in my experience…it's often the opposite. The truly successful individuals I met over the weekend were rocking plain t-shirts and jeans. No frills, just simplicity. Here's the thing: many people confuse playing the status game with playing the wealth game. They believe that lo...

I'm thrilled to have you here as we continue our series on the ten lessons I learned from an incredible weekend spent with top creators.

They exuded a genuine confidence in their abilities without feeling the need to prove themselves or dominate conversations. They understood that true greatness doesn'...

I want to dive into a concept that has been on my mind ever since I came across a post by my buddy Saul Hill Bloom. He introduced the idea of becoming a time billionaire, and it got me thinking about success in a whole new way. You see, the term "billionaire" can evoke various emotions and beliefs. Some view billionaires with anger and resentment, perceiving them as symbols of inequality. Others see them as a source of inspiration, believing that hard work can lead to similar success. ...
