One of my personal definitions of money is - the measurement of value created. When I think of money this way it inspires me to create my own worth instead of looking for someone to give me anything. Using this perspective I'm more inspired to get into action and make things happen. It gives me energy knowing that I'm creating as a contributor to the "machine". On the other hand when I'm looking for people to give me anything it drains my energy, it doesn't empower me. When it come come to creating value my guest today is a master. I read his book a couple of...

As you know one of the fields that I'm really enthusiastic about is business consulting. I like it for a number of reasons but here's just a few... The overhead needed to start a consulting practice is minimal You don't need any advanced degrees or certifications The more...

I attended a marketing event called Monetization Mastery almost a year and a half ago down in Miami... I always tell people if you want to change your belief system around money and what's really possible then go to an internet marketing event. When you're surrounded by people who are on the internet making thousands of dollars (and some even tens of thousands) per day it has a way of shifting the way you think about business. I've also discovered one of the truths about building a businesses online... if you want to make some money then you do it alone. But if you want to build wealth then...

One of the things that I love about entrepreneurship is it's the closest thing that you can get to being a professional athlete. You'll get direct feedback on whether you can really play or if you stink... but no matter what the market says about you, there's always room to improve and get better. Here's the cold truth... The job market is shrinking, with technology replacing human labor and capital funding becoming more and more scarce since the 2008 meltdown business owners and CEO's are more focused on costs and the bottom line more than ever. The highest cost savings can usually be found...

Have you ever met someone who said that they couldn't use a little more confidence? Nah, me either. Confidence is one of those qualities that most people would like to have a little more of. On today's episode I'll be talking about the secrets to developing bullet proof confidence with Social Confidence coach and author Myke Macapinlac. Myke is the creator of . I think this is something this is a subject that everybody should study at some point, especially if you wanna be an entrepreneur. As an entrepreneur you gotta be skilled in selling ideas. In order to sell ideas you have to have an...

One of the things that I've always made an effort to be is someone that can lose everything and then turn around and get it all back. I say that because I believe that a truly wealthy man isn't wealthy because of his money or the value of his possessions. He's wealthy because of who he is. My guest today is one of those people. At his lowest point Tony found himself homeless with nothing to his name. It was also during this time that Tony began what he calls "His Great Experiment". With nothing left to lose he also lost his sense of fear. With time he slowly began to see the great...

I recently became interested in the study of Etymology, which in case you're not familiar is the study of the origins of words. When you truly understand the essence of a word, where it comes from and its true meaning you’re able to better apply the concept of the word to your studies and your life. Conversely one idea and concept that is probably more misunderstood than any other is the concept of money. Interestingly enough most of us dedicate most of our lives to making money for ourselves and our families but we never truly understand what it is or how its really created. As a result we...

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of my all time favorite actors. A while back he played a character named "Cobb" in the movie . If you've never seen it check it out, it was a pretty heavy movie. It's one of those movies that makes you think about what you're thinking about. In the movie Cobb was stealing corporate secrets and planting ideas by entering a "target's" dream. Being able to steal secrets was good but the real power was being able to plant an idea that would cause his "target" to take a set of desired actions. Pretty cool, right? Well believe or not my guest today, Rob Scott has a process...

I believe the true essence of entrepreneurship is having the ability to recognize an opportunity. An opportunity to take a product or situation of lower value. Enhance it. And then turn around and offer it back to the world at a higher value. This process of alchemy can be applied to anything; real estate, cars, clothing, services and what you'll learn in conversation today is that it can even be done with your story. My guest today is Anthony Trucks, Anthony became an entrepreneur against his will at the age of 3 years old, when he was placed into foster care by his mother. The statistics say...
info_outlineEver talk to someone who seems like they're connected to their source on a deeper level than most people?
A few days ago I had a great conversation with one of those kind of people, internet rockstar Aaron Rashkin. I've learned a ton from Aaron over the years and I've watched a lot of his content. As a matter of fact I've consumed so much of his content that it was kinda like I already knew him before the interview (Has that ever happened to you? Weird, right?).
For those of your who might not be familiar with Aaron, he's been a full time entrepreneur for almost 20 years. He's been a top sales producer in multiple home based businesses. And over the last few years his skills have allowed him to earn more than $1 million online. As a business consultant Aaron has helped dozens of people reach their first 6-figure incomes and has even helped a few reach the 7 figure mark.
One of the things that I can appreciate about Aaron is one of those guys that pushes in all of his chips and puts it all on the line. Once he sets his sights the only option is success (he provided some interesting insights about this characteristic during the interview).
Whether you're already running a successful business or you're still trying to figure your life out you're going to get a lot of value from this conversation and Aaron's insights.
Some things that we talked about;
-
How he was able to create a 7 figure income online
-
How he overcame the fear of success
-
The mindset required to develop a high tolerance for risk
-
How he decides where to place his focus in his business
-
and more
