Society tends to tell us that we can’t always get what we want. This has been so embedded that we close ourselves off from pursuing a greater and bigger life. Showing us that we can actually do that, Scott interviews Kelly Resendez of BigVoicesRise.com about entrepreneurship and how entrepreneurs (both male and female) can give themselves a bigger voice in the market.

A lot of people are looking to invest at something. However, the California, Oregon, Washington state, Arizona, or Nevada markets are overpriced for the most part. That's not saying you can't find something that makes sense, but for the normal note investor, those markets are a little overpriced and just don't seem to make sense. You could actually buy a load of assets across the country and totally leverage your risk and go from there. On this episode, Scott breaks down some of the things and markets to look for when picking a note market to invest in for notes.

We're in a very unique period of time right now, but there are still markets out there that you should be looking at that you should be investing in. As we're starting to see even inventory back into the sheriff sales, Tom Olson thinks it's better to be more centrally located and building the communities is going to be way more important in the next 10 years than it was in the previous 50 years. Scott talks with the founder of Good Success, Tom Olson, about the Gary, Indiana market, entrepreneurship and growing your business like a tree. Tom has been an investor for over twenty years, starting with first purchase when he was nineteen years old. He owns several businesses, investing across many different spaces. His unique ability to project vision enables him to lead this company to greater heights every day.

Don't be stuck on one-deal source. Don’t get stuck on just one person, one bank, or one hedge fund providing deals. Go out and develop other relationships and other lead sources, because it may not pay immediately, but the moment one faucet shuts off, you will be able to reach over and turn another faucet on to help you feed your business. Scott discusses how we are all one source away from expanding or imploding our business if we don't leverage our business carefully.

Where do you see yourself in the next three years? Where are you growing? How are you? More so, what's guiding you down the line? Think about this now. Take a look at where you want to be in the next three years and start to visualize it. What would you do if money was not an issue? Describe it. Many of us don’t do this enough on a regular basis. We all get bogged down with paying bills, running from one event to another, raising kids, work, and other things we’re working on. However, we have to take time to reflect on where we're at and where we ultimately want to be. Scott breaks down what he thinks that the future holds for note investors over the next three years.

When you’re speaking at a conference or an event, you want to make it worth the audience’s time and make sure you walk out with some great students. The biggest thing you can do is just do the right things - show up early, play full tilt, and be respectful. You will often find that you’ll turn any event into something amazing that a lot of other speakers or attendees won't get because they don't play by those rules. Learn more about those rules as Scott discusses the three biggest things to consider when you are speaking in front of audiences that will help in maximizing your speaking opportunities.

Back in 2012, the JOBS Act was passed. What we have seen happen is that more people are now advertising for investors because there's a couple of different rules that allow you to advertise for investors. One of those rules is 506c which allows you to raise money from accredited investors only. You can do general solicitation, but you have to verify that those investors that are coming in your deals are indeed accredited. On this episode, Scott talks with attorney Jillian Sidoti about some common crowdfunding mistakes and ways to legally raise private capital.

With the world getting smaller and smaller, it has become inescapable to feel overwhelmed. Especially for entrepreneurs, we tend to get bombarded with so many emails and events to go over and attend to. Adding to that pressure is the closing of the year where things seem to pile up more and more, and even attaining goals become desperate. On this Note Closers Show, Scott breaks down your calendar and how to maximize your year by best picking the event that you'll attend for your note business. Sometimes, you just have to think what best serves you in the end and not try to spread yourself too thin by attending every event possible. Know your calendar, reconsider your choices, and identify the must-attend events that can serve to the success of your business.

A lot of people going from working a job and chasing the entrepreneurial dream are starting to become leaders in their industry, whether they're just starting off or they've been in it for a while. However, there are also those who face big hurdles in identifying who they are and getting their message out. They don’t take action because they struggle with making everything perfect before they take a step. They have fear of judgment, of being seen as an impostor, or of not being taken seriously. Scott talks with entrepreneur and coach Ruby Fremon about being honest with oneself to accomplish big things in today's business world. Ruby hosts a podcast called LovePunch and specializes in working with the new generation of thought leaders who have a message and a purpose but are struggling with putting themselves out there to make their voices heard.

Oftentimes, people are asking the sellers what they’re looking for. However, a lot of sellers don't want to give a price point because they don't want to price against themselves or they want to get the highest and best. If they don't give you a true price, then check out the Stair-Step model which is a guide for pricing non-performing notes. On this episode, Scott breaks down some of the pricing guidelines to consider when pricing your note and CFDs.
