You need to know these three simple strategies that are either making your business or killing it. These mistakes have nothing to do with your actual sales process and everything to do with it. Mistake Number One: People have no idea who you are You need to get attention for yourself and your business. Plan how you're going to advertise and then take action – get the word out. For example, it can be as easy as attending a high-profile event and taking a picture that you post on social media. By ...

To be successful in, and at, life and create what will truly make you satisfied, you need to visualize it. Your life isn't your job, it's not your marriage, it's not your kids or the people in it. Don't limit yourself. Visualize and plan who you want to be, and how you want your life to be. 1. Prioritize the life you want. This is not putting your family first, your role as a husband or wife first, or even your role as a parent. It's putting yourself first and understanding what you need. By bei...

The vast majority of good real estate is bought by, and owned by, the super wealthy. Not wealthy individuals, but mega-wealthy companies like Blackstone, Allstate and Met Life. And, the reason they have preferred access to these deals is that Wall Street wants you to keep investing how you have been. Wall Street wants you to buy a house, a duplex, and invest in a 401K or a Keogh plan. They don't want you investing with someone like Grant Cardone or in real estate. In fact, they've stacked the de...

Cash is king. You've heard this expression, time and time again. But the truth is, cash is not king. Cash flow is king. Inflation makes your money worthless. It takes eight times the money to buy the same product or service today as it did in 1958. That means, what your $1,000 bought back then, it takes $8,269 to buy the same thing, today. You need to invest your money to have it be worth anything. Cash does no good in the bank. Here's what to do with your cash: 1. Invest in yourself to increase...

$1 million is not a big enough goal because it doesn't give you enough money to live on if you live 20-25 years. If you just want to make $10k a month, you give the government $4k a month you spend $6k on house, car, insurance and you're out of money. Here is the plan we made for Jarrod that made him a millionaire: 1. The right target is $10 million: Don't be selfish and say you don't need a lot, you owe it to your children and your parents. 2. No consumption at this level: Don't buy stuff to sh...

Stress test for buying real estate: 1. Does it provide cash flow with at least 4-8% a year (if it provides more than 8% you need to look with some magnifying glass cause there is probably something wrong!) 2. Time/money - is this going to be worth your time? 3. Do you love it? 4. Can you exit? Can sell the deal at any time? If a deal makes 28% but that's only $100 that's not a good deal. How many doors/units/tenants you have is the most important number in real estate. Classes of properties: A -...

REAL ESTATE needs to have 4 things: cash flow, scale, time, and the right location. Nail those 4 things and you'll be doing better than 99% of all real estate investors out there.

1. Ask for referrals - it's easier to get referrals than to find a new customer. Don't ask "do you know anyone you can refer to me?" Instead be more specific "When you see what I did for you, who are the first 2 people you think of that need the same help?" Want a deal today? Write down 3 happy customers and call them now and ask for two names from each of them. 2. Upsell an existing customer or extend their current contract. 3. Call every customer you pitched in last 12 months who said no - cha...

1. You're not buying: If you don't buy, it's because you don't know what you're doing 2. Buying too small: This happens when you become scared thinking that big deals are riskier. This is false, small deals are riskier. 3. Buying on a Budget: don't be confined to what you can "afford". Don't have a budget when you buy, have a budget when you own. 4. Believing the Pro Forma: don't put significance on a fairy tale. 5. Underestimate expenses: taxes and insurance aren't fully understood. 6. Not fund...

You've got a lot going on. You run a business. Marriage. Your kids. The ability to change is vital to your success. You can wish or meditate but, in order to change, you have to make or become different. When I was 25, a mentor told me something that I'll never forget: "To change, you've got to change." How do you change? Do you make gradual moves or do you wait for the grizzly bear to come rip you apart? You don't like to travel. Travel more. You hate flying. Go on more flights. You don't like ...

$5,000 is NOT much money. Money goes where money knows, and people who hate money never have money. Broke people don't have a target big enough, because to them 5K is a big amount...but the question is, how do you turn 5k into a million? If you had 5k and add $5,000 every year and earn 20% on it, you'll have $1,125,000 dollars in 20 years. So how to get to 20% returns? If you earn only 10% a year, you'll have just 320k. If my real estate isn't making 20% a year I make it when I sell the property...

What if they're lazy? What if they're broke and have a gambling addiction? Accept them as they are? You don't have to love someone as they are. Your marriage won't last if you both don't change.
