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...

Context: There are a lot of changes taking place in the economy right now and it's happening very quickly. The job market is shrinking and the newer jobs that are becoming available are paying less. As an entrepreneur this is great news because change creates problems and entrepreneurship is all about solving problems. 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...

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...

Great show today ladies and gentleman, this interview right here is right up there as one of my favorites. I like this one so much because it's not so much about money, success or business. It's really just 2 guys talking about life.

My guest today is Chris Winters. Chris is a 7 figure digital nomad. After listening to Chris's story what you'll find is that it's not really so much a story about him as it is a story about all of us.

No matter how much success you've experienced or how low you've might been, you'll hear yourself somewhere in this story.

Chris Winters lived a largely unsuccessful life and even dealt with alcohol addiction up until he was about 42 years old. It was at that point that he entered a contest that completely transformed his life.

If you look at the pictures below you can see what I mean when I say that he completely transformed his life.

He says that the picture to the right is the same guy but just a lower version of himself. At his lowest point his wife left him taking along with her their 3 children. He found himself 3 months behind on his mortgage and in over $40,000 of credit card debt.

As Chris tells the story, “I was sitting home alone, unemployed and in debt, and trying to figure out what I was going to do with my life and I came across…somehow…a contest.

It was a contest from Bill Phillips, who is better known for ESA and the Transformation Contest.

Bill Phillips is a bestselling author and billionaire. One of his bestselling books is Transformation. To make a long story short, Chris actually winded up winning the contest along with a $50,000 cash prize.

Winning the contest gave Chris a platform as he started speaking around the world at Bill Phillip's Transformation events. This opportunity gave Chris access to some very financially successful people that opened his eyes up to new possibilities.

He said that up until that point his life was headed nowhere. Meeting Bill Phillips wasn't enough to change his life overnight. But it was enough to bump his life just a few degrees in a new direction.

Seeing that it was possible to create success for himself he then took on the next challenge which was creating financial success (he still didn't have that piece of the puzzle figured out yet).

One day Chris came across an email from internet marketer Mike Koenig. He got sucked into the launch of one of Mike's products which to him was an opportunity that just made perfect sense.

The cost of Mike Koenig's program was $2000. At the time Chris didn't have the money.

On the last day of the launch Mike made a payment plan available. It turned out that Chris had just enough on one of his credit cards to make the first payment so he bought it.
