The majors were chosen because they give intrinsic skills that are needed by all businesses–everyone needs to know where their money is and how to get more of it. Finance covered the part of how a company gets more money. However, the best way is through sales. Knowing that sales are the key to every business, Joe worked a variety of commission-only sales positions throughout his time at Duquesne.Following graduation, Joe worked for three years as a personal financial advisor. In the first year, he was the office's “rookie of the year.” In the second year, he was the “underclassman of the year,” and by year three, Joe left to create his first real estate business in 2011.Since then, his businesses have created revenue from properties in a vast array of methods. Some of the more common ways his company creates revenue are by performing land lording services, selling investment grade properties to other investors, and renovating for sale properties.Outside of his professional world, Joe is a married man with a newly-born son. In 2017, along with Father Boniface Hicks, they created the podcast Father and Joe. The goal of their podcast is to bring individuals closer to God. Joe is also an avid axe thrower–in 2019, he finished 192nd in the International Axe Throwing Federation Championship in Toronto.

In 2008, Simon Ree lost a "life changing sum of money" in the global financial crisis. While devastating to his financial security, this experience was later utilized to develop a better way of navigating financial markets. Today on The Prosperity Perspective, Simon joins host Liam Leonard to share some of his findings–particularly, the myths that Wall Street tells us. The first myth: a 10% return per annum is a fantastic return. Simon argues that this is not the case, and that depending on where you are in your wealth journey, 10% per year is not likely to be life-changing. Another key tenet of Simon's teachings is the importance of compounding. By compounding on a monthly basis, you can create life-changing returns well within a ten year period. Understand that if you are thinking about engaging in trading, it is best to start small. As a trader, it's important to reduce the emotional impact that losses can have on your mindset and trading decisions. Simon shows how to begin with a sum of money that if lost, wouldn't affect your ability to pay the rent or put food on the table. Hear his breakdown on these topics and more as Simon shares his passion for helping others with his knowledge, and discover how his unique system for trading options that he teaches through his online course, The Tao of Trading, can help you. 3 Key TakeawaysAlways start trading with a sum small enough where if lost, it wouldn't take away the ability to pay for the roof over your head. This will remove unwanted emotional attachment to trading.  You should expect to lose on some trades as a business expense. If you win more than you lose and your winners are bigger than your losers, you will come out ahead in the end.It is just as important to assess your trading performance at the right time than it is to make the assessment. Working with probability will take time; assessing your performance after one trade is pointless.ResourcesTrading in the Zone by Mark Douglas et alVisit taooftrading.com/prosperity to access the first chapter of his book and training courses at a heavy discount!About Simon ReeSimon has three decades of experience as an active trader, investor, and financial markets professional.

Bill Nussey shows how he made the transition from a successful software entrepreneur to a clean energy pioneer on this episode of The Prosperity Perspective.An original venture capitalist, Bill was well versed in growing big fast, with exit opportunities measured in growth rather than cash flow. While the race against his competitors was ongoing, Bill found the opportunity to sell his stock to eager investors. Despite others' conviction to hold on to the company because it would continue to grow, Bill took the check and it “was one of the most powerful, freeing moments” of his life. Be inspired today to look less at the cash flow and more on your purpose of continuing to run a business. Decide to invest in what matters most to you–like Bill's kids' college education–and gain financial freedom by deciding not to spend the money but save it with the means of making an impact. Finally, get the insight into Bill's life conviction to look bigger than yourself and find true purpose in your career. After his exit, Bill's wife told him to get a job to keep the “fire under his ass” and it was the best prompting she could have given. By giving personally to charitable organizations, Bill wakes up every day with the passion and desire to “keep making money so [he] can keep giving it away!”3 Key TakeawaysHow taking some money off the table and investing it in his family's future gave him the freedom to take more risks.How Bill and his wife decided to give away most of the money they made from his business exit, and how that has been rewarding for them both.It's okay to have a plan B!

Guest Dustin Heiner brings a new spin to the old analogy: “Teach your students how to fish, because you can duplicate it over and over in as many cities as you want.” After getting laid off and facing the terrifyingly unclear future of caring for his family, Dustin decided to become an investor. In 6 years, he expanded from one to over 30 properties, each of which are making him $250-400 a month.His mission today is to help as many people as he can to learn how to invest properly so they can obtain financial freedom. One of the most important components to understand: It's not YOUR job to become an expert in the location you're investing in. If you want to work 30 minutes a month, it's about finding the REAL experts of the area and hiring them on–teaching your fish–to manage your business. Each property owns inventory. You don't open an empty convenience store and set out a box of candy bars–the same goes for real estate. Build each business BEFORE you buy the inventory so that you know exactly who will be managing, financing, and repairing your property ahead of time. Gain the full explanation and more of Dustin's first-hand insights on this episode of The Prosperity Perspective podcast.  3 Key TakeawaysYour value doesn't come from your job! Stop associating yourself that way and instead do what lies in your passion.If you're investing in real estate, it's not your job to become an expert about the new area. Instead, ask the true experts and hire one of them to run the business for you. You want to buy the business BEFORE you buy the inventory. Likewise, if you're buying a property, you're going to want to know who will manage, finance, and care for it before you start. ResourcesText RENTAL to 33777 for a FREE course on investingmasterpassiveincome.com/freecourse for a FREE coursePodcast: Master Passive IncomeYoutubeInstagram: @thedustinheinerAbout Dustin HeinerDustin Heiner is the founder of Master Passive Income, Real Estate Wealth Builders Conference (REWBCON) and Successfully Unemployed.He is a real estate investor who was able to make enough passive income from his business to quit his job when he was 37 years old.With his podcast, Youtube channel, books, courses, and coaching, he now helps other people quit their job by investing in real estate rental properties to live the dream life.

Today's guest visits The Prosperity Perspective from the other side of the pond; Phil Blows brings his insights as crypto expert and founder of AQRU in London, a company that manages 8 different crypto-related businesses within it. Learn where we are on the crypto adoption curve right now from someone who knows about it, such as how it will become not a replacement but be complementary to our currency system. Educate yourself on this currency that “will increasingly become a part of the average portfolio,” including why 99 percent of the 70,000 available bitcoins will not be worth investing in when you look under the hood. Phil also shares his experience moving from being an employee to running his own company and the fears that came with it. He explains why he's glad to have taken his time to the age of 26 to launch his company because he needed the knowledge and confidence that comes with years of experience. Get his strategic thinking about where to redeploy the assets they made and his number one advice to entrepreneurs looking to begin their crypto venture.  3 Key TakeawaysDon't focus on the money you can gain from a startup. Instead, focus on doing what makes you truly passionate and the money will follow. If you start a business and end up as an employee again, you HAVEN'T wasted your time. Companies are more likely to hire someone who founded a business from scratch because of the experience gained. Your time is your most valuable asset. Don't waste it doing things that other team members could do better. In other words, do what you do best. ResourcesLinkedinTwitterAQRU appWebsite (leave a comment about how their service is doing!)About Phil BlowsPhil is founder and CEO of AQRU Plc, a business that specializes in helping institutional and retail customers earn high interest rates on their cryptocurrency.

Guest Daniel Martinez decided to pursue entrepreneurship because he wanted the freedom to spend more time with his family. He quickly learned that in order for that to happen, there are things every entrepreneur needs to understand and implement. Listen alongside host Liam Leonard as Daniel gives his thoughts on living a successful and enriched life, starting with the willingness to pivot when life takes you in a new direction–in his case, from real estate to software. Be okay betting on yourself.  Learn to keep funds going back into the company at all times and know that regardless of niche, your business should be a marketing company or you won't convert those leads into dollars. Most importantly, learn to “automate and delegate” wherever possible. Taking a step back and allowing others to handle the reins will free up a surprising amount of time for you to do what you love and do what you do best. Daniel shares all about this and more in this episode of The Prosperity Perspective. 3 Key TakeawaysAlways automate before you delegate. You may find you do not have to delegate at all.If you want to build a legacy that goes beyond just you, you need to become a content creator.It doesn't matter what niche your business is in; it NEEDS to be a marketing company. ResourcesDaniel's FacebookSocial platforms handle: @Hivemind CRMFacebook group: Hivemind CRMText them at 210-972-1842 for their course on how to make six figures on real estate (Keyword: COURSE)Website: danielmartinez.ioAbout Daniel MartinezDaniel has done a ton of different jobs, from painting to door-to-door sales, telemarketing, truck driving, and loading trailers.

Marketing expert Wayne Mullins discusses the best leverage move you can make when investing back into the company: your team. Wayne's team is made almost entirely of people who fit into the “great resignation” era–those with a reputation for being lazy, obsessed with social media, and a poor work ethic. Yet, Wayne's team has been active in their positions for six to eight years. As he will explain, it's not about the cool snack bar or workout rooms but the culture that you foster every day. In this episode of The Prosperity Perspective, listen alongside host Liam Leonard as our guest elaborates on the two ways to invest back into your people and make an impact: 1) Genuinely care for them and make the choice that will benefit THEM, not the company, and 2) Find ways to help each individual become a better version of themselves. Reap the reward of watching people lean into who they can become and prove your values, because as Wayne will explain, “Your values aren't your values until they cost you something.” 3 Key TakeawaysYour team is your biggest leverage that you can use in your company; invest in them by connecting on an individual basis and watch them elevate the business.Your values can't truly be proven until the moment they will cost you something. Don't hesitate to put the rubber to the road and act on those values you set beforehand for the business. When you reach the sales call, your job should be all but done. Make your marketing do the work for you so that the customer is already sold. ResourcesWebsite: uglymugmarketing.comFacebookInstagramLinkedInAbout Wayne MullinsWayne is a husband, father of 4, founder, CEO, entrepreneur and author.

Today's guest on The Prosperity Perspective is a living example of why you don't have to have an investing background to become a successful investor. As Brandon Cobb explains, it's all about thorough observation, intentional networking, and taking diverse approaches. Hear how real estate was the first thing that took off for Brandon after losing his elevated W2 job suddenly and unexpectedly. He jumped straight into the investment space and didn't look back, committing to real estate and a partnership that illustrates the importance of synergy and the fulfillment of separate roles in a team. In this episode, Brandon joins host Liam Leonard to teach listeners to take over their zone of genius and hire out the rest, the benefits of investing back into your business' marketing strategy, and how he successfully allocated their extra cash to become the professional business that they are today, all in just a handful of years. 3 Key TakeawaysFind potential investors who will take good care of your money by picking those who take care of their own. Consider getting your professional real estate status, whether you're a new small business owner or neck deep in the process. Brandon explains the benefit of doing this in the episode. Start out by finding the people who do what you'd like to do and then give them as much value as possible. Learn as much as you can in the meantime by observing them. ResourcesWho Not How by Dan SullivanWebsite: www.hbgcapital.net (Check out their free ebooks or set up a call with them)FacebookInstagramLinkedIn

 Leo Marte, the owner of Abundant Advisors, joins host Liam Leonard on today's episode of The Prosperity Perspective to share his perspective on the investment ideology of being an entrepreneur. Leo's where to start: as a solopreneur and as an entrepreneur with multiple employees, there are different strategies to pursue in the beginning. As a solopreneur, it's very easy to open a retirement plan. And the limits of the amount of money that you can put in are significantly higher than a regular employee has because you can contribute as both the employer and the employee.As an entrepreneur with multiple employees, your math is a little bit more complicated because then you have to delve into discrimination testing and top-heavy testing. You have to make sure that your high earners are not solely taking advantage of any retirement plan and then your low earners are not. The IRS rules have been created so that everybody can partake in the plan, but that also has a significant cost that is added to the business owner.3 Key TakeawaysStart investing in simple things like 401k's and Roth IRAs.Entrepreneurs: traditional investment strategies could help you manage some of the risks inherent in running your own business.Proceed with caution if you're going into any sort of esoteric investment strategy (i.e. crypto, AMC, Gamestop)ResourcesAbundant Advisors websiteAbout Leo MarteCurrently resides in North Carolina, where his wife and him are raising two beautiful children.
