Rocky Lalvani came to the United States as a small child. Like many immigrants, Rocky’s parents arrived with a small amount of money, around $25. As hard workers, they were consistently talking to their friends and relatives about how to make more money so they could have the coveted “American Dream”. This is how Rocky started his education in money and finances, and what pushed him to become wealthy.Now, Rocky teaches businesses and entrepreneurs the Profit First system, which is exactly what it sounds like. A business usually calculates profits as sales - expenses = profits. Rocky argues that this is an inefficient way to see your true profit, and what the actual calculation should be is sales - profit = expenses.You may be asking how to minimize expenses so the above formula can work. The solution to this isn’t that you need to manipulate the numbers so your expenses equal the difference between your sales and your profit, but that you need to minimize your expenses when possible. But what about fixed costs? What about startup costs? As Rocky puts it, you need to have a customer before you start having expenses, something businesses rarely realize is not only possible, but profitable.Rocky also goes into his #1 tip for accumulating wealth and dives deep into why the phrase “the rich get richer” tends to be true. He also goes into how businesses can allocate their profits correctly, have the accurate amount for taxes, and pay themselves first so they’re making money while their money makes money!In This Episode We Cover:How Rocky became a millionaire through compound interest What the Profit First system does for businesses and entrepreneursHarnessing the 40% of your work that creates most of your profitDismissing the notion that you need to spend more to grow How real estate investors can use Profit First in their businessesSetting up separate bank accounts and allocating your moneyAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowDave RamseyHome DepotBiggerPockets Business Podcast 06: How to Manage Your Time Like a Millionaire With Jay PapasanBiggerPockets Business Podcast 30: How to Guarantee Profit From Day 1 with Mike MichalowiczCheck the full show notes here: http://biggerpockets.com/bizshow97

In this episode of Highway On My Podcast, Rocky, Mayur, Abhinandan and Prashant reminisce about their travels through Jammu and Kashmir from back when Ladakh was a part of the state. The journey kicks off from a visit to a high altitude warfare training school to experience the harsh training jawans go through to survive the difficult terrains in Siachen and other high altitude posts. The gang talks about their visit to a winter training school in Gulmarg where Rocky was the subject of a diligent rescue by the army from beneath a three-foot cavity of snow. Rocky says he survived his 3-5 minutes under the snow thanks to his “veins of steel and dashing good looks”. The team moves to Pahalgam, where they stayed at a not-so-great hotel. However, they had a very special breakfast next to the gushing Lidder river, eating Lavasa, a type of Kashmiri bread, with hot tea in the crisp sunlight. Jammu and Kashmir is the land of breads, Mayur says, and they bake 13 to 14 different kinds. The group discusses how their search for an authentic Wazwan was unsatiated — right until Prashant had his first tryst with it at a Kashmiri wedding. Wazwan, Prashant explains, is a multi-course meal where four people share a huge plate of food and eat with their hands. As Rocky says, a typical Wazwan would include at least 25 dishes, and sometimes goes up to even 40 dishes. A typical Wazwan includes a Zafrani Murg, Safed Murg, Methi Maas, Tabakh Maas, and a lot more. Abhinandan describes the Khajuria hotel which, according to the whole gang, serves some of the best Rajma Chawal in the country. What makes it special is the dominance of ghee on the plate along with pomegranate chutney. Heading towards Srinagar, Abhinandan talks about the beautiful drive while Rocky talks about the famous Kashmir willow cricket bat that has helped him score runs over the years. In Srinagar, Mayur describes the dingy Mir Bakery where he tried the delicious Czochworu, a traditional bagel-like bread. Elsewhere, Prashant sampled a goat-tail preparation with Girda bread. Rocky talks about the Khayyam Chowk in Srinagar, which is a bustling street by day and a barbecue hub by night. Heading towards Ladakh, the group discusses a visit to a donkey sanctuary, the fine owner of the Upper Zing Zing Bar who provides food and shelter at minimal rates, the delicious mutton curry in Khosar, and Rocky’s tiff with a local. This and a lot more, only on Highway On My Plate. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this episode, Rocky, Mayur, Prashant and Abhinandan talk about their journey to God’s own country, Kerala. They kickstart their journey from Thiruvananthapuram where Rocky, Mayur and Abhinandan struggle to keep up with the historical facts regarding Laurie Baker, the architect who designed the Indian Coffee House building. While Abhinandan recollects the restaurant’s communist associations, Rocky and Mayur talk about its history. Thiruvananthapuram also brings back memories of Azad Hotel and the story behind its establishment.The gang heads towards Aranmula where they witnessed the famous snake boat race which, as they recollect, involved toddy-fuelled participants who sang a particular chant that Mayur eventually sings for our listeners. Mayur also explains the mythological context behind the celebration of Onam. As Rocky, Mayur and Abhinandan reminisce about the large bulls and heavily ornate elephants that are a pivotal part of Onam, we find out that Onam is also Rocky’s favourite festival. Prashant describes a socio-cultural trait that he’s observed in Kerala, which makes it religious in its conduct but modern in its mindset. Heading out of Aranmula, the group talks about a vegetarian crocodile they met on their journey, and Rocky and Mayur’s “post-modern” rendition of Kathakali while cooking a delicious “must-try fish fry”. Rocky reveals a challenge he accepted at one of the many toddy shops they visited, and how in the pre-pandemic days, they could eat out of random people’s plates without alarming them. Rocky goes on to talk about the wide variety of seafood that Kottayam has to offer, and how a vegetarian Mayur survived on beetroot salad until they reached Grand Hotel in Kochi. The meal that followed at Grand Hotel ended with Rocky hugging the chief. Kerala is one of the states that all four have spent the most time, leaving them wondering what to talk about and what to leave out. They discuss toddy shops on isolated islands, a place that offered 250 types of dosas, Onam sadhya, Moplah cuisine at Zain’s Hotel in Kozhikode, and Kerala’s peaceful chaos.

A little about our guests. Rocky made it all, lost is all and made it all back again, bigger and better than before. After unknowingly getting into a Ponzi scheme, Rocky lost his money, home, and family. Things did not look good. He rebuilt his life focusing on his own physical health first. When he began winning bodybuilding championships, Rocky took the words that inspired him and began to put them on clothing to inspire others. Rocky credits all the wonderful things in his life to his attitude of gratitude. He is grateful for everything in his life now and grateful for the things to come as if they are here, right now. Cheryl is a certified personal trainer who loves working with people. Her background is in business management and business finance. Cheryl and Rocky met when she was a trainer at Rocky’s gym. Cheryl liked Rocky enough to volunteer to help him write his first book. With no book writing, publishing or editing experience, Cheryl dove right in. Good grades in English class gave her the courage she needed. As they got to know each other, Cheryl decided she wanted to date Rocky, but knew his passion for his business meant she was going to become passionately involved as well. A little about their business. As Rocky came out the other side of his darkest time, he used words of encouragement to keep himself going. He then created a clothing line around those empowering words and phrases. More than just words, Rocky used a step by step program he created to bring into his life the exact things he wanted, including Cheryl. After meeting Cheryl and working on the book together, Cheryl began working in Samson LIFE Challenge, the program Rocky developed. Cheryl and Rocky quickly found a rhythm and found their skills perfectly complimented each other. They began building the online version of the Samson LIFE Challenge while working together on workshops, speaking engagements, and coaching. One piece of advice (the nutshell version) Your relationship is more important than anything you are doing together. Put the relationship first. Be thankful and grateful for EVERY situation you have, good or bad.

Rocky Angelucci talks Wendy today about the dwindling rights of small farmers and how BigAgra, with the help of the government, is methodically and maliciously edging out their competition. Transcript Click here to view the full transcript for #64 Are Small Farms in Danger of Going Extinct with Rocky Angelucci. Today we talk about how bacterial outbreaks are being handled by the government in ways that hurt small farmers, why the government can illegally seize small farms and many of the issues facing small farmers that are forcing many of them to sell or go out of business. Learn what you can do to stop the government takeover of our food supply. Small farms are in danger. It's frightening to think: According to the CDC, more than 50% of food borne illnesses come from imported food, not from food produced in the US According to farmaid.org, 12% of the farms in the US produce 84% of our nation's food America's dairy farms have dropped in number by 90% since 1970 from over 600,000 to fewer than 60,000 today About Rocky Angelucci My guest today, Rocky Angelucci, is an everyday 40-something person who became frustrated at today’s health and nutrition advice. After nearly two years of intensive research and self-testing he has written Don’t Die Early; released in May 2012. He's not a doctor, nor is he a healthcare professional. He is doggedly determined to separate good advice from bad in a quest for preventive health. While there have been some zigs and zags along the way, the past two years have brought incredible improvements to his lipid health, cardiovascular fitness, body mass, blood glucose, inflammation indicators, and a variety of other parameters. As Rocky describes in Don’t Die Early, much of what he's done is ignore conventional medical advice in favor of the more forward thinking clinicians and researchers practicing today. Rocky is a technical writer with a background in chemistry and mathematics. He has written in the fields of medical device development, nanotechnology and software development. Works Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and inflammatory diseases are all on the rise. And even though it seems everyone has answers, incessant sound bites in the daily news and magazine articles offer little more than superficial, generic advice. Combined with clever marketing intended primarily to sell products, this chaotic and fragmented advice results in a confusing, and typically incorrect, guide to being healthier. How does a person know what’s right and what’s wrong? How do we separate fact from carefully crafted half-truths? What can we, as individuals, do to be healthier and how can we avoid the most common diseases that plague us today? Don’t Die Early is a remarkable framework to guide any of us towards a more aggressive approach to our own healthcare. No matter our age or condition, Don’t Die Early is a plan of wellness and longevity, written for the everyday person who no longer wants to be at the mercy of their provider but wants to take control and become the healthiest that they can. "In Don't Die Early, Rocky Angelucci explains the actual science of diet and health in clear, simple language anyone can understand. If you're confused by all the conflicting health advice in the media, read this book. By the time you finish it, you'll probably know more about nutrition and health than your doctor." --Tom Naughton, creator of the documentary "Fat Head" Find Rocky Angelucci Dontdieearly-book.com If you’re enjoying the Live to 110 podcast, please leave Wendy a review in iTunes.
