Understand the importance of knowing yourself and who you bring into your life, learn to generate passive income with minimal funds, and gain the right skill sets along the way, starting with today.3 Key TakeawaysIf you know how to sell properly, it won't matter what you're selling. Joe breaks down how he connects with people successfully every time. Get rid of the fear of failure mindset. If you try to sell something new and completely fail at it, you can move to something else. It's more important to know that you gave it a shot. Your surroundings have a direct effect on the way you respond to crises. Be intentional with the people and atmosphere you surround yourself with. ResourcesFor real estate questions: 412homes@gmail.comFather and Joe PodcastLocal Football Flavor on YouTubeAbout Joe Rockey Joe went to Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and double majored in accounting and finance. 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.

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!

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.

     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.

Michael Dominguez shares his hard-earned appreciation of what it takes to get your dream life from day one, whether you only ever invest in one property or a hundred. 3 Key TakeawaysIf you want to reach that freedom number you have in mind, then you need to do thorough research in the markets that interest you. That starts with a simple Google search. Michael reached his financial freedom point by NOT listening to others' conviction to make money when you buy. Instead, find a location with a quickly growing appreciation rate. It's important to distinguish real estate as a fund for your life, not the runner of your life. Set those boundaries from the get-go and be better off in the long term. ResourcesMichael's book: Armchair Real Estate Millionaire Reach out to Michael through armchairrealestatemillionaire.comAbout Michael DominguezMichael Dominguez is an award-winning sales representative, a member of the RE/MAX Hall of Fame and the founder of Doors to Wealth Real Estate Group, a team of realtors focused on educating and assisting people in residential real estate.
