Every action you've taken in your life has led you to where you are right now. You can completely rework and rewire the fabric of your brain, so that you think differently When you change what you believe, you not only change what you have, you change who you are.

Your WakeUp Call begins when you start to challenge conventional thinking. When you empower yourself to break free from the daily grind. When you choose to design your own lifestyle and economy.    Paul Thompson is joined for this episode of “The Wake-Up Call” by Life and Business Coach Angie Wisdom. After getting started as an investment firm owner and financial advisor, Angie has moved into the life coaching space, guiding people into becoming the best possible, most “non-negotiable” version of themselves they can be.   The two go into detail about the need for knowing and having access to the greatest version of ourselves, so that we can create the life, business, and relationships that we want. You have to “fill up your own cup” before you can fill the cup of others. Angie and Paul have a fantastic discussion about life and lessons learned that make up Angie's new book, “The Non-Negotiable You”.   Key Points From This Episode:    If you can genuinely bring your Focus to what you CAN Control, you'll have so much freedom to become the best version of yourself. You can't hitch your happiness onto someone else's happiness– Otherwise you will need to be in control of others in order to feel joy. No matter who you are or where you come from, many of us have “Universal Challenges” that all come from the same place. YOU have to be great at being YOU. The “Morning Mindset” is key. If you win the morning, you win the Day. You can't expect to respond with the right tools and knowledge (such as gratitude) if you're not practicing them everyday. When You “Choose Your Seat”, you know exactly where you want to be and what place you want to be in. From there you can be intentional about taking action.

Your WakeUp Call begins when you start to challenge conventional thinking. When you empower yourself to break free from the daily grind. When you choose to design your own lifestyle and economy.    Former Navy Veteran and current Real Estate Investor Corey Chonsky joins host Paul Thompson for this episode of “The Wake-Up Call”. Similarly to Paul's story in the corporate world, Corey saw a financially secure future for himself outside of the military and took a leap into Real Estate Investing.    Beyond the discussion surrounding Corey's time in the navy, the two go into detail about best practices for investing, regardless of if it's on your own or with a group through Syndication. Knowing how to connect with others, and who to connect with, is likely to determine the success of your Syndication regardless of what sort of deal you're planning to do.   Key Points From This Episode:    Measure growth carefully, and don't bite off more than you can chew. Bring in team members who fill in your gaps– know your weaknesses. A Deal Might fall through, but you can come out better with the new connections you've made, as long as they're carefully vetted. You can't have someone on your team for the sole purpose of capital– you need an established relationship A great way to get into syndication is to offer a team (like Corey's) help in some sort of way, services, etc. Being intentional about increasing connections is important when getting into the syndication world. Conferences, podcasts, social media, etc. are all important. “Survive until 2025”... Many people are waiting to see what's going to happen in real estate in the coming months Get in the Game.

Sam and Paul go into detail about the methodology of Sam's Syndication, what's working and what isn't, and how you can get involved and get started.   Key Points From This Episode:    Find a Coach or Mentor– Namely someone who has been in the business for a while There's no problem with 3rd Party Property Managers if you don't have a large presence in a market. “High Impact Deals” are challenging projects, but are worth the investment for the improvement of the community. A “Rate Cap” is something you can add to a loan that caps the most an interest rate can float to… for a premium rate. Be Open to different kinds of deals. 60/40 Deals, 50/50 Deals, Waterfall deals, etc. are all possibilities depending on the type of property and the situation. Setting Up a Fund is More Difficult Than Expected… But Worth it.

Your WakeUp Call begins when you start to challenge conventional thinking. When you empower yourself to break free from the daily grind. When you choose to design your own lifestyle and economy.    Host Paul Thompson is joined in this episode of “The Wake-Up Call”  by Syndication Mastermind Adam Gower, to talk through the current state of the market and what it means to be involved in Syndication TODAY.   Adam Gower Calls his methodology “Syndication 2.0”, in which he approaches syndication from a crowdfunding framework. He explains that the language being used in today's market has to be totally reframed to accommodate the ever-evolving market of today. He and Paul discuss at length the ins-and-outs of Interest Rates, Models, working with LP's in a straightforward and transparent manner, and so much more.   Key Points From This Episode:    In Today's Market, You Must Learn the Language of a Downturn. The “New Normal” will include higher evaluations and interest rates. To Be Successful, you have to underwrite the worst case scenario. You Win with Patience. Opportunities are Emerging, but it's important to know when to get back into the Market. You Have to Build Your Own Models/Spreadsheets. Have the discipline to start with a blank spreadsheet, so you understand how it will respond in wacky situations. Understand Your Numbers, and the implications of your assumptions. You Must Communicate Transparently With Your Investors. Create Educational Material easily accessible to your potential investors so people learn about you, and can trust you, before you ever meet.

Your WakeUp Call begins when you start to challenge conventional thinking. When you empower yourself to break free from the daily grind. When you choose to design your own lifestyle and economy.    In this episode of “The Wake-Up Call”, Host Paul Thompson is joined by CEO Scott Miller for a great and personal discussion surrounding finding your purpose– Your “North Star”.   One thing we can be sure of, is that we will face adversity in life. The question is what will you do with it? Scott Miller is the former CEO of the nationally recognized “Essentia” Water brand, and his experiences facing adversity in life and in business led him to write a brand new book called “The Summit Mindset”. Scott and Paul talk at length about the new book, and the importance of finding the Pillars that will lead you to happiness.   Key Points From This Episode:    When you have the Mindset to Never Stop Evolving, you're able to escape complacency. When you're too rigid in routine, you are unable to be pliable. Life is Not a Dress Rehearsal. Live in Pursuit of your Purpose. Know Your Personal Pillars. Scott's are Faith, Family, Others, and Business. Life and Business are “inside-out” jobs. It starts inward, and everything else grows from there. Have courage. It doesn't have to be crazy, it just has to be your Personal Call To Action. Happiness is your “Haves Divided by your Wants” Follow Paul Thompson • LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulthompson-onecallcapital/ • Website | https://pauldavidthompson.com • Tiktok | https://www.tiktok.com/@pauldavidthompson Resources:   https://summitmindsetthebook.com/ - Scott's Book “The Summit Mindset”, available on Amazon   www.amazon.com/stores/page/CAEB6F9D-FA97-440B-BC2D-0400C5B3DF77/ - Scott's “Yesly” Water brand, available for purchase on Amazon www.PaulDavidThompson.com - Real estate resources, past episodes, and information on my mastermind   I want to help you achieve financial and personal freedom.

Your WakeUp Call begins when you start to challenge conventional thinking. When you empower yourself to break free from the daily grind. When you choose to design your own lifestyle and economy.    Have you ever heard of an MCM? A “Merchant Cash Advance”? Most likely not, and yet it's an incredible source of revenue for people who are in the know. Host Paul Thompson discusses the MCM at length with the master of the form, and today's guest on “The Wake Up Call”, Peter Risko.    Peter's experience on Wall Street in New York City, brokering deals and handling a team of almost 100 people, has led him to acquiring multiple millions of dollars in revenue for himself and his business. Now, he joins Paul to share his knowledge of a lesser-known brokerage technique: the Merchant Cash Advance.   Key Points From This Episode:    A MCM is, at it its simplest, buying tomorrow's sales at today's discounts This is not a loan, it's a buy/sell agreement.  The MCM provides businesses with working capital to cover short-term cash needs It's important that a good MCM provider ALSO strategizes with the business to utilize the cash in the best way possible… so everyone wins. If you're willing to do the work, you can go from learning the definition of an MCA one day, to making serious money the next… But it takes effort. You won't find a greater ROI; what you're getting back in the next month on a 40 day deal, is the equivalent to thousands of percentage points worth of return.
