  • 105: The MOST Profitable Skill to Learn (From a $200M+ VC Investor) with Codie Sanchez

    105: The MOST Profitable Skill to Learn (From a $200M+ VC Investor) with Codie Sanchez
    Apr 27 2021
    Successful business owners are addicted to building businesses, sometimes to their folly. For someone like Codie Sanchez, this isn’t a problem, but a superpower. Codie is a journalist, a venture capital partner, an angel investor, and an entrepreneur. She loves, as she puts it, “building herself out of a job”, which means creating businesses with huge potential, getting a team in place, and heading on to better things. Now, managing many millions of dollars, she has to look into which businesses are worth capital investments. Codie often advises business owners to act out of confidence, not fear, and consistently hire people that are better at their jobs than them. She places a very high value on having employees and workers who are competent and can help the team grow (as any smart business owner should). Codie mentions the most profitable skill of today and how she’s using that specific skill to grow her newsletter, Contrarian Thinking. She argues that in today’s society, the top level of hierarchies for time freedom and ideological freedom is financial freedom. If you can decide what you do, where you do it from, what you can and can’t say, and how to live your life, you have the ultimate freedom available. This episode delves not only into the life of a VC, but how small businesses can keep their loyal customers, grow their audiences, and repel those who aren’t a good fit for them. Regardless of the size of business you have, Codie presents great arguments for everyone about developing yourself, your business, and your mindset. In This Episode We Cover Laying the foundation of businesses and “building yourself out of a job” How to extract yourself from your business and empower long-term success Contrarian thinking and why it’s a crucial skill in today’s society How to start a “high margin, low people” business The one skill you should start building upon today How to make your audience loyal and push away those who won’t like your offering And So Much More!

  • 104: How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Start Buying Profitable Real Estate with Andrew Luong

    104: How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Start Buying Profitable Real Estate with Andrew Luong
    Apr 20 2021
    It’s hard for real estate investors to get started, especially without a mentor, a background in real estate, or an existing network. Many of those interested in buying profitable, cash-flowing real estate are busy with their 9-5 job or even running their own business. This was at least the case for landlord and founder of Doorvest, Andrew Luong, when he talked to his friends about buying rental properties.  Andrew had a passion for real estate and knew that it was one of the best ways to make residual side-income. When he chatted up friends about real estate, they were interested too. Andrew would send them to agents, property managers, show them profit margins, and more. After a few months when Andrew would ask his friends how their real estate was going, they would reply “I didn’t have time to do any of it, will you just do it for me?”  Just like that, Doorvest was born. Doorvest allows aspiring investors, regardless of where they’re at in the world, to purchase renovated, cash-flowing properties with management fully built-in. Not only does this help make a potential landlord’s life much, much easier, it also lowers the barrier of entry for anyone trying to get into real estate! In This Episode We Cover Resisting lifestyle creep so you can invest in your assets and businesses  Letting your day job subsidize the other business opportunities around you Why most people won’t pursue real estate investing  Capitalizing on the leads you get, and making it as easy as possible for them to purchase/invest Building systems and processes so you can be fully remote when running your business Using existing data to make your real estate search more profitable And So Much More!

    Apr 13 2021

These are questions that today’s guest, Mitchell Levy has been asking. Mitchell is an expert on credibility and is trying to make not only business, but the world a more credible place to live and work. Mitchell has been working in Silicon Valley for over 30 years.

Then he created executive business programs for top colleges, ran multiple CEO groups, started a publishing company, and wrote over 60 books!

When you can accurately find your customer’s CPoP, you can change the way you speak to them, you can see what they want, and most importantly, you can tailor your business to fit their needs. This type of credibility goes beyond just your business. You should also be known as credible within your circle of influence and online, Mitch shows you how to get there!
