Today, we confront the myth of perpetual commitment.   In a world where perseverance is celebrated and quitting is often equated with failure, we're conditioned to think that once we set a goal, it's a binding contract we simply must honor. Our discussion today doesn't condone walking away from commitments that truly matter to us, but rather, it advocates for a shift in perspective on how we perceive our goals and responsibilities.   We'll delve into the liberating concept of releasing obligations that no longer serve us - those tasks or goals that drain our joy and erode our well-being, we'll also explore practical strategies to navigate such scenarios gracefully.   Thanks for listening!

Today I invite you to take a deeper look at an emotion that often governs our lives - fear. Fear most often presents itself in the uncharted territories in our lives, and is an unavoidable challenge in life. Yet it's confronting this emotion and pushing through it that brings about growth and liberation. Leaning into fear and running towards it can be difficult to do, but our mission is not to suppress fear but to overcome it.   I invite you to take some time to think about how fear is governing areas of your life and how you can lean into it, conquer it, and come out on top with more knowledge and confidence going into the future.   Thanks for listening!

Today I'm talking about why I try my best not to grip things too tightly. This can apply in business, marriage, relationships with your kids, or any other area of your life really.

During this day and age, things are moving really fast, and that means the decisions we make need to come faster. Many times we won't feel like we can make the best decision, because we don't have all information, and that's probably true. However we still need to make the best decision we can with the information that we do have. Any decision is better than no decision. So I implore you, evaluate the information you do have, make a decision, and make it work!

Today I'm sharing some recent revelations I've made during this challenging season I'm in, mainly centering around business being a team sport. It's so easy to want to do everything yourself and think that others are always the issue, but in reality the only thing that actually matters at the end of the day os humans. The real issue is systems, processes, leadership, etc. We have to make sure we are always taking accountability for the part we may play in issues that arise on our lives.    If you're an accredited investor wanting to get started passive investing, send me an email to mike@wavemarkcapital.com for more information.    Loved this episode?

Welcome back to the Investing for Freedom Podcast. Today I want to talk about one thing successful people do that separates them from the rest. That thing is execution. When I was young I read a great book called Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done by Lawrence Bossidy & Ram Charan, and it left a big impact on me. Execution is going out and doing something and making it happen, sometimes you don't need to have a brand new idea to have success, sometimes all you have to do is just get out there and DO IT.   If you're interested in investing in mobile home parks with me, text the word 'deals' to 480-531-7519, or text me anything else if you just want to chat!

Welcome back to the Investing for Freedom Podcast. “Work hard and become a leader, be lazy and become a slave”. This quote is one I love, because it's so simple but it's so true.

Unearth the ultimate obstacle standing between you and your financial aspirations. It's Diderot effect, this principle says that spending can easily spiral into a relentless cycle of consuming more, often beyond your means.   But wait, let's get one thing straight! The message here isn't to stop spending entirely. Of course not! We believe that the joy of investing stems from the ability to afford the luxuries of life, the enriching experiences, and quality moments with loved ones. What we're emphasizing is the importance of maintaining a mindful balance, to prevent expenses from snowballing out of control.   Take a step today: challenge yourself and your partner, if you have one, to undertake a reflective examination of your spending patterns. Is your expenditure tipping overboard? If so, it's time to make some adjustments and commit to a leaner, more sustainable approach.    Thanks for listening!   Never Miss An Episode!

I've learned in life that in order to get something new, you must exchange something else. This can be in the form of habits, physical things, and more. So today I ask you, what do you need to give up that is no longer serving you in order to get to the next level in another category? In order to get to that next level, you need to take an honest look at your life, your business, whatever it is, and identity where you need to trim the fat. Trim the things that are not serving you anymore, because those things are no longer helping you go forward, rather they are doing the opposite, making you stagnate. Identify, trim the fat, and propel to the next level of your life.    But that's not all – mark your calendars for a special dinner event on February 23rd in Scottsdale, Arizona, exclusively for accredited investors. Immerse yourself in the wisdom of guest speakers, engaging masterminds, and a network of remarkable investors.
