The Expat Money Show

If You Get Your Fundamentals Correct Success Is Automatic. Akbar Sheikh helps Entrepreneurs to ethically scale their businesses to 7-figures immediately.   In this episode of The Expat Money Show, Mikkel Thorup and Akbar Sheikh discuss how getting your fundamentals correct first can make success automatic. Often times people over complicate things and miss the basics like health, wellness, diet, sleep, association, and others that we touch on in this episode. Akbar Sheikh talks about how he went from homeless to a top 1% earner in his industry by focusing on these exact fundamentals.   You can learn more about Akbar Sheikh at https://akbarsheikh.com   Mikkel Thorup & Akbar Sheikh at FHL 2018 in Orlando, FL.   The romantic notion of an entrepreneur working 24 hours a day 7 days a week, never sleeping, and hustle-hustle-grind-grind around the clock is not a sustainable approach. Akbar Sheikh recommends balance and he has some very strong opinions on how to get it. Make sure to listen to the complete episode to learn how these seemingly basic fundamentals can propel you and your business forward.   Akbar Sheikh talks about the 7 ethical principles of persuasion In this interview Akbar Sheikh also shares some of his secrets on how he helps businesses to scale to 7 figures fast, using what he calls the 7 ethical principles of persuasion. He uses these principles to walk into an existing business and "fixes things up". He uses a great analogy of a house and how with the right modifications you too can scale your business to 7 figures.   Final Thoughts on my Conversation with Akbar Sheikh I enjoyed this conversation with Akbar Sheikh immensely and was very fortunate to pry him away from his work while he was in Sydney Australia for a project. Akbar Sheikh is very obviously a sought-after coach and consultant and his time is very valuable, I hope that you take advantage of this interview and write down some killer notes on things you can modify in your own life to make successes automatic for you too.

How to Unlock an Extra $20,000 Worth of Free Travel Using Frequent Flyer Miles. Today's guest on The Expat Money Show is Erik Paquet, the Co-Founder of Abroaders.com and the Co-Host of Abroaders Podcast on iTunes. In this episode, we dig deep not only into the success mindset of an Entrepreneur living around the world but he explains exactly how all us Entrepreneurs can get free unlimited travel around the globe with some small tweaks to how we collect frequent flyer miles and how we use our credit cards. I don't know about you but 3 or 4 extra roundtrip tickets in business class anywhere in the world every year sounds pretty awesome to me! You can reach out to Erik Paquet at Abroaders.com   Free Travel Using Frequent Flyer Miles - The Basics... * You are going to get the majority of your points from the bank by using your credit card... not from actually flying * The BEST points to collect for free travel using frequent flyer miles are called "Transferable Points" * The WORST points to collect for free travel using frequent flyer miles are called "Fixed Rate Points" * To get the most value out of your frequent flyer miles make sure you are spending them on flights... and sometimes hotel stays * The worst way to use your frequent flyer miles is for online shopping of goods, often the price of say a coffee maker and a one-way business class seat can be the same amount of points even though the dollar amount could be thousands apart...     Free Travel Using Frequent Flyer Miles - More Advanced... * Using frequent flyer miles all you need to pay is the airport taxes... typically $50 to $200 a trip * The government counts the use of frequent flyer miles as a "rebate" and not as income... so if you were to take $20,000 of free travel during the year it would not bump you to a higher tax bracket * Making sure all your Facebook Ads and Google Ads you spend for your business are done through your credit card that is connected to your frequent flyer program * Your Ad spend only needs to break even for you to get unlimited travel around the planet * When signing up for a new credit card make sure you are getting a signing bonus of 50,000 + points for joining * Purchasing a business or first class ticket can be 5 to 10 times the cost using cash, but it is not 5 to 10 times the amount when paying using points. Make sure you check the difference and try upgrading your ticket   I don't want to spoil too much from this episode because you really need to listen to it yourself to understand the whole concept. You will also be able to laugh at how poorly I have used my points in the past LOL.

Dave Woodward joins us on the Podcast to discuss what is a sales funnel and more importantly... why do you need one today.   Free 14-Day Trial To learn more about Clickfunnels and sales funnels and to get your 14-Day free trial visit: https://ExpatMoneyShow.com/funnels     Same of the big questions Dave Woodward answers for us about what is a sales funnel:   * Why do you need a Sales Funnel? * How to develop a lead to a buyer as quickly as possible? * Why will a regular website not cut it anymore? * What are some of the most common mistakes new Entrepreneurs make? * What is the number one thing you can do TODAY to fix your website?   In this Episode, we discuss what is a sales funnel but we also talk at length about Clickfunnels, the most powerful funnel software on the planet. I have used this software extensively and loved how easy it was for me to navigate even though I know NOTHING about programming.     I remember a couple of years ago when I started my online Travel Agency and I didn't have access to a product like Clickfunnels I had to hire a programmer to do everything from scratch for my website. Without a lie it cost me over $30,000 USD to build and took more than 4 months... yes it is a beautiful website, but today I would be able to do the same thing in a fraction of the time and for tens of thousands of dollars less.   Who uses this software? The list of successful Entrepreneurs who use Clickfunnels software is staggering, including Akbar Skeik, Trey Lewellen, John Lee Dumas, and about 56,000 other Entrepreneurs from around the world. Even Robert Kiyosaki and Dan Kennedy wrote the forwards to the books Expert Secrets and DotCom Secrets.     What is a Sales Funnel - Finial Thoughts I could just write out in a couple sentences technically what is a sales funnel but that will not explain the complete picture. That's why I would suggest you listen to this complete episode of The Expat Money Show and then claim your free 14-Day Trial of Clickfunnels here.   Take the 14-Days free trial... take the free training... beat the hell out of the software! Learn everything you can about it and discover how easy and powerful it is... then make the decision if it is right for you or not. That will actually answer your question of what is a sales funnel, and more important than knowing what is a sales funnel you will understand how to use it to take your ideas and turn them into an additional stream of income, which at the end of the day is what I am always trying to help you to do on The Expat Money Show.   Always Remember, Endeavour to Greatness Mikkel Thorup    

Why you need to use Facebook Live Videos to grow your business today, even if you are shy Earlier in the year I was a guest on Trish Leto's Show - The Expert Connection - and I had such a good experience I thought it would be fun to ask Trish onto The Expat Money Show to talk about her experiences as an expert with Facebook Live Videos, why businesses need to be doubling down on Facebook Live Videos and how you can really make your Facebook Live Videos shine.   Why should you care about Facebook Live Videos? Engagement  Facebook Live Videos get 3x the engagement as traditional videos on other platforms Indisputable Proof  People can steal and repurpose your written content and put their name to it. But Facebook Live Videos are proof you actually know what you are talking about, you are an expert and you are original It's Free  Hate to say it, but it's hard to beat free... broadcasting live to thousands of people used to be reserved for the big media companies, but now doing Facebook Live Videos gives you the same power and it's not going to cost you thousands of dollars Get Feedback in Real Time  You will know how people are receiving your content in realtime, your followers will be able to tell you if they are enjoying it or not and you can adjust by listening to them Native Content  By using the Facebook Live Videos feature you are using actual native content to Facebook, and you will organically drive more traffic to your Facebook business page   Tips even if you are shy or are nervous on camera: * You don't actually need to record yourself, feel free to do a screen share of what you are teaching and let the content be the visual * Start by doing an interview based show (Similar to The Expat Money Show) and allow the interviewee to provide the majority of the content * Invite a friend onto your Facebook Live Video and have a conversation * And remember... even if you mess up, make mistakes say the wrong thing, whatever... it's okay... people are forgiving, Facebook Live Videos are not supposed to be perfect   Here is a fabulous article from Facebook itself on how to use FB Live!  Enjoy!   Books we Discuss: Expert Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Finding Your Message, Building a Tribe, and Changing the World by Russell Brunson DotCom Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Growing Your Company Online by Russell Brunson Bluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happen by Steve Sims Crushing It!: How Great Entrepreneurs Build Their Business and Influence - and How You Can, Too by Gary Vaynerchuk     Coaches, Courses, and Consultants we discuss: Dale Hensel Grant Cardone Russel Brunson   Where you can reach out to Trish Leto: Make sure to join Trish Leto's Private Facebook Group - Making it Rain with the Hustlers!

Next, to communication and information features, the platform provides a wallet for the invested assets as well as allows to buy and sell again these investments. * Investment-associated experiences are provided together with a strong network of business partners fulfilling the service promise   HOW TOKENIZATION OF ASSETS WORKS ON THE TEND PLATFORM * First, an asset undergoes the procedure of a due diligence to authenticate the asset * The asset is then split up in parts/shares and the associated experience per share is defined * The result is certified and the individual shares are put on the blockchain to be registered and be tradable thereafter       Final Thoughts This was a fun episode to record and our conversation on thought experiments and how to foster creativity is excellent in the second half of the episode.

Why Bancor A Decentralize Liquidity Network Will Change The World. We are joined by Eyal Hertzog the Co-Founder of The Bancor Network a top 100 Cryptocurrency Token. In this interview, we talk in depth about not just Bancor and what it will do in the world but the future of money as a concept. We dive deep on the liquidity problems that face the landscape and why longtail products are so important.   Eyal Hertzog makes some interesting points about user-generated content in the case of video and now with the possibility of user-generated money. When you understand the implications of this you can really understand why Cryptocurrency is changing the world and why it is here to stay.         In the case of the Bancor Network when you remove the need for counterparty and third party people or organizations and keep Cryptocurrency as decentralized as possible it is incredibly interesting and important.   You can learn more about the Bancor Network here: Website: https://about.bancor.network/ Telegram: https://t.me/bancor   Highlights to understand about the Bancor Network * No Spread - Low-cost conversions thanks to a non-profit automated market maker * Continuous Liquidity - Convert any token at any time regardless of buyers and sellers or trade volume * No Counterparty Risk - Buy and sell through smart contracts, no deposits, no exchanges * No Registration Required - On-chain conversions directly from your web3 wallet * Predictable Price Slippage - The Bancor Formula incorporates transaction size and needs no order book so prices are transparent * Backwards Compatible - Any existing ERC20 token can integrate into the Bancor Network with no code changes or fees   From the Bancor Networks Website: The Bancor Protocol is a new standard for cryptocurrencies called Smart Tokens.  They are autonomously and continuously convertible to other tokens in the network at algorithmically calculated rates. The protocol utilizes “connector” modules, which hold balances of other ERC20 tokens within a smart contract. The Bancor Formula constantly recalculates prices to maintain balance between Smart Tokens and their connectors.   Benefits The Bancor Protocol is a technical revolution allowing tokens to be converted without matching two parties with opposite wants. The magic is in the math. With a simple formula, balancing buys and sells so that every token in the network maintains a formulaic relationship to others. The result is continuous liquidity regardless of trade volume or exchange listings.   Amazing Entrepreneurs I can see you are loving the space of crypto currency.  Here is another great interview with Austin Kimm about Crypterium A Crypto Bank for Crypto People - How they are changing the landscape   We have been fortunate enough to have several million dollar entrepreneurs grace our podcast.  Here are two of my favourite, and I know they'll be yours too!   EP 75: Grant Cardone ~ Grant talks to us about the millionaire mindset and how you can get there as well!   EP 72: Jay Papasan - Co-authoring with...

Portrait of an Artist as an Entrepreneur. In this episode of The Expat Money Show, we do something a little different... I wanted to show how working together with a partner and being able to leverage each other's strengths can lead to success.

Learning and self-study are important topics to me and I think the method BitDegree is using to gamify the learning of complex topics is fascinating.       And as a bonus in this episode, we talk about two very popular coins that HEAPS of people are investing in and why they could actually be massive scams. Do you have them in your portfolio? Listen to this episode of The Expat Money Show to learn more.   Coins we discuss in detail: * https://crypterium.io * https://www.ebcoin.io * https://www.bitdegree.org * https://bounty0x.io   Coins we discuss in passing: * https://www.bancor.network * https://bitcoin.org * https://www.ethereum.org * https://getmonero.org * https://iota.org   We as well talk about 2 additional coins I refuse to link to because we are concerned about their authenticity as an investment. Unfortunately, in such a new space such as Cryptocurrencies, there are a lot of scams out there in the marketplace.
