Entrepreneur Motivation Podcast

Things are a little crazy right now in the world with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) issue affecting the globe.  Many people are already feeling the economic impact. Hours are being cut, people are being laid off, and people are worried in general.  This episode talks about how I'm navigating through these times and keeping an eye on what others are doing as well. 

In this episode, I share some tips and things I've learned after podcasting for nearly 2.5 years and how I've grown it to nearly 40,000+ downloads a month.  I have evolved from heavily relying on notes and speaking in monotone to not needing any notes and being able to speak fairly eloquently if I can say so myself.   Podcasting has helped me level up in so many areas as well as connect with some incredible people across the globe. 

In this episode, my friend Conor Watkins talks about some challenges he's hit with his first real estate flip. You may remember we spoke on a previous episode about his success with apartment locating, where he was making 6 figures a year at 19 years of age. This episode dives into learnings as well as plans for continued growth in the future.

Malissa Dunnings burned the candle at both ends and started a business while still working full-time at her day job.  Once her business was hitting a certain revenue goal she had in mind, she planned her escape and eventually quit her day job to focus 100% on her business. Her business, Composition ID, has been growing steadily over the past several years. This episode covers her journey so far and her plans for the future. 

Today I talk about how I deal with the loneliness of entrepreneurship. When I first quit my corporate job, I had no idea what to focus on or do. I quickly realized that working alone at home all day was going to drive me nuts.  I share a few tips such as going to networking events or working from coffee shops to help get that "social energy" that can be missing when you're just alone at home all the time. 

Aren Deu is the host of the Find Your Voice podcast. We share some similarities from our passion for fitness to our involvement in real estate. He's like my twin on the other side of the world!  Be sure to listen to this one all the way through. 

This episode is about drowning out the noise. Sometimes you have to put your phone on "Do Not Disturb" and just focus on the work.  You'll get a lot of feedback and opinions from everyone during your journey. You have to know what to listen to and what to ignore. People may want the best for you but give you poor advice that will slow you down. 

Today I talk about a trick to make sure you take action. You commit. Once you tell people you are going to do something (especially if you are partnering with someone on something like hosting an event), it becomes set in stone.  From there, you have to perform. Set a deadline, sign up for the course, book a venue to host an event, etc. Once you commit, you then will have to act to honor that commitment. 

Joe Cury helps 6 figures+ podcasters leverage their episodes to 2X their sales & downloads using social. He is the host of a brand new podcast called Impact Heroes Podcast.  Today's episode actually features me being interviewed on his show, which will be going live in March 2020.  We talk about podcasting, abundance, and more. Enjoy!

Kaelyn Motzel and Jason Jones are real estate investors in their early 20s. They own 11 properties and acquired these with no money out of pocket.  In this episode, they share their story, accomplishments, and goals for the future. 

They say that 98% of success is just showing up. If you continue to show up to events, to coffee meetings, and even on social media, you will start to see momentum build and success start to unfold. 

In this episode, Matthew Gullo shares his journey and why he chose to leave his stable architecture career for a stab at real estate - with no benefits or guarantee of success.  In his first year, he did 25 transactions, and has continued to gain momentum through consistency over time. 

In this episode, I talk about how to maintain self-discipline while pursuing goals. Many of us set goals but then have a hard time sticking to the things we know we need to do. Having a list in site can help, as well as having accountability partners. Also try to create physical barriers to bad habits. For example, say you want to stop snacking late at night. You could put a lock on your pantry to physically keep yourself out (extreme but still effective).

In this interview, Jorge Quintero talks about some of the science behind the brain and a positive mindset.  He started Mindfully Conscious to inspire people to live more consciously and purposefully by gaining a better understanding of how their mind works. 

Do you use a calendar? Hint: you should. I prefer Google Calendar but any calendar is better than having none.  You need to make your calendar a priority. "If it's not on the calendar, it doesn't exist."
