"Usually the people who don't have shit think they know everything." - BP During this motivational Monday, Brayand explains how most won't admit that it's not the lack of information available but the fact that were not teachable. It is now time to admit it, uncomfortable or not, owning it so you can change it is a MUST. Our competition within should be being the most willing to learn. The goal is to become a learn It all and not a know it all. The willingness to own that we don't know what we don't know. Most people think if they "heard" something that means they know it, however, Brayand reminds us that we don't know something until we're doing it. Before looking for change, you must know that you know nothing and ask yourself, "how teachable am I?" before starting this journey.

While hard work is admirable, grinding 24/7 on your business is just not sustainable. If you want it to grow, you should start making it work without you before it burns you out. After all, one of the great indicators of a good business is its ability to function without your hands all over it. So how can you achieve that? Mitch Stephen brings over Brayand Ponciano, the owner of Together We Grow, whose amazing mindset drives him to make his business work hard without him. Brayand shares what that mindset is with us and how it works in this episode. He talks about why the hustle life is not always the way and why working smarter, not harder, puts you in a place of abundance. The universe is infinite, and there is just so much out there—deals, properties, other opportunities—that you have yet to achieve, so why put yourself in a place of scarcity, of mental torture? Brayand imparts this great lesson he learned across his entrepreneurial journey and asks you to start changing your mindset in a way that will best serve you and your business.Love the show?

Brayand talks about the fact that because most of us are creatures of habit, most of us are losing our minds having to be locked up in our house for a while. Anybody can be happy and positive when things are going great but your true character will show when things aren’t going good. Choosing not to participate in the recession, meaning not letting it dictate you mind, your decisions and scare you. Change equals opportunity and opportunity equals wealth. Every time something changes there’s going to be a need for something attached to that change, whatever it is. The world will never be exactly the same as it was before we experienced COVID-19. Look at it as potential opportunities to do things differently, to get outside of the curve, to find more ways to create income. Whether you like it or not the world is going to continue changing. If you are going through something right now, how many other people do you think are also going through it? If you take advantage of the opportunity, you can create wealth. Start looking at obstacles as opportunities instead of complaining about what’s going on. This upcoming recession will be an amazing opportunity for those of you who make it an opportunity out of it and will be the downfall for those of you that let it be the downfall.
"You cannot fix your problems with the same mind that created them." This week, Brayand talks to us about the importance of continued learning. He shares about working with his mentor’s and being in his classes for 10 years. They study the same book over and over again but he still shows up, listens, and pays attention. Never stop learning. Be a "learn-it-all" and not a "know-it-all." The three most dangerous words to human beings are “I know that”. The only way that you know that you know is if you’re living it. He reminds us that nobody likes a know-it-all because they have no intentions of listening. There’s always something that we can learn. This is often why you hear some of the great mention reading the same book 2-3 times over.....the book doesn’t change but you do. The best entrepreneurs and successful business owners know there is always something you can learn from someone else even if you already heard it before. Brayand has learned over time that the results are not the reward, it’s who you have to become to get there that becomes the reward.

"We all get what we believe deep down that we deserve." In this episode Brayand talks about an experience with one of his one on one coaching clients and how when most people mention "the problem" or what they are struggling with, its usually much deeper. Brayand challenges us to ask ourselves the right question as it's critical to focus on the root and not the symptom. If you don’t continue working on your mindset, whether things are good or bad, at some point your mindset is going to retract back to the same ways that got you stuck. BP provided some key insights for us to reflect on: Not feeling worthy. Deep down inside, do you really think you’re worthy? Fear of success. Most people are scared of success. People say they are not scared and that they are worthy but deep inside they don’t really believe it. We all get what deep down inside we believe that we deserve. People keep on getting on the same situation. People don’t believe that they deserve happiness or making money without stressing. We are taught that if we want anything we must work really hard for it. It doesn’t take money to make money, it just takes creativity. If you don’t truly believe it , it’s not going to happen. You are worthy, but none of it means anything if you don’t believe it.

"You are the sum of the people you surround yourself with." Ever heard that? Some people believe they are exempt from the rule but Brayand breaks down clearly that that simply is not true. He explains that every single time if you show people who you hang around with than that shows who you really are. Brayand opens up about what many won't by saying, "I don't have regular friends, I don't hang out with people who are not business owners or entrepreneurs." Brayand explains this is not because he thinks he superior but because he himself was once poor but because he gave up being an employee. He committed to himself that he would never ever again work for someone else, and thats something people with 9-5's don't understand. Brayand admits that he learned early on that he can only hang out with people he wants to be like, if he's doesn't want to be like them than its detrimental to his growth. What he wants most people to understand is that this is the case with most friendships because you tend to mold yourself or others to fit in anyway, it's just a matter of what you are becoming to fit in and the goal should be that you are mimicking or copying something that brings you growth.

Enough is enough, right? It feels like we are on day 571955 of this quarantine and the excessive fear only seems to be on the rise. This episode is important because Brayand wants you to understand what you are experiencing and why it's important you control what's controllable. You are not alone, and the more fear you enroll in by choice, the more you anticipate pain. The only thing to fear, is fear itself and fear is anticipating tomorrow with no real evidence. F.E.A.R. = False Evidence Appearing Real The more we allow the media to instill fear in us we provoke the energy behind it which gives power to attracting more bullshit, more fear, and stupid decisions, etc. and it becomes a vicious cycle. When the truth is, most of the things we tell ourselves in our most fearful moments about what could happen actually never will. Our survival relies on us NOT feeding into fear right now.

In todays episode, Brayand addresses everything we are currently dealing with around the coronavirus. Are you tired of hearing this yet and everything the media has told you about it? He explains how the medias job is to take away our focus and keep us coming back to read and check-in over and over and over. He uncovers what's real and what's not and how we as humans were created to handle situations like this. Trauma, blanketed fear, and anything that is leading us straight to the unknown is always going to show us who people really are. Brayand helps us understand that how we are when life is simple and easy makes sense but who we are is truly tested in times like these.

"I am a smart man because I live from my own mistakes, but I am a FUCKING genius for learning from other peoples mistakes." While it makes since to fail and learn lessons on your own, in this episode Brayand reminds us that we DO NOT have enough time in this life time to learn every single one of them the hard way. It is imperative that we become open to learning rom the mistakes of others. If you think that "working on yourself is boring" then you must consider that in order to stay above the rest and groom your mind to maintain at a high level than you must treat personal growth like brushing your teeth and taking a shower, it has to be done every single day. Some of our biggest mistakes are included in our daily habits or the lack there of. Evolution over time has proved to us that the hardest part of unf*cking your mind is society constantly reinforces what everyone is doing as the "way."

While "sleep when your dead" seems to be a popular saying these days and something many entrepreneurs live by, Brayand breaks down exactly why it's not! As a child, the saying "be the first one in and last one out" was instilled in Brayand so much that he even got it tattooed on him. Only to realize later, it's complete bullshit! It's not the right or healthy way to run anything that you want to last. The age old story, "slow and steady wins the race" is something Brayand has found to be true now more than ever otherwise your faced with burnout and most times little results. When networking with seasoned investors and entrepreneurs the advice Brayand has received has NEVER been, make sure you work until the sun comes up. He has only heard over and over to prioritize family, build a business you love, and don't sacrifice the things that matter because you'll be miserable.

There is no better question to ask yourself before listening to this episode than, "are you truly happy?" For many, this is where most people get stuck.

We are all on a fleeting journey of acquiring everything we don't need to meet some unachievable level of success or status. In this episode, Brayand talks about learning the hard way that happiness is truly a state of mind. During one of his trips to Haiti, Brayand opens up about learning that one of the happiest people he met in Haiti also was sleeping in a shack on the floor with his entire family. How the children there were the happiest when playing with rocks and coke bottles, and they wanted for nothing more. Whether you are struggling to secure your first deal, wondering when you'll have enough money to buy a new car, get a bigger house, or just find the perfect spouse.....this episode is a MUST! because Brayand explains exactly why happiness is NOT on the other side of "obtaining something" but it is in everything you have right now.

Just like brushing your teeth and taking a shower daily, these things are only useful when done daily. The same goes for unfucking your mindset. Once you decide, the work has to be done daily as all of us are born and raised with a mindset that has to be unraveled and retrained. Some of you are fighting against 25, 35, and even 45+ years of gathered evidence that has led you to believe you know how things go. In this episode, Brayand helps us to understand you have the power to decide and attract exactly how things go. The problem is some of us are not prepared to create a reality that we have never dreamt of. "You get what you think about all the time."

Brayand was doing a lot of things at the time but was not sure what he wanted to focus on. The truth is that most of you do not know what you want and this creates a lack of clarity which is always the reason you are not operating from your most powerful place. Just like a relationship, one of the biggest mistakes people make is going down the wrong road enthusiastically. A lack of clarity will cause you to go down the wrong road thinking this will lead to happiness when you need to understand this won't end well because you have no idea what you want!

Welcome to the UnFuck Your Mindset Podcast! Before we jump in strategies, learned experience, and removing the beliefs that allow us to have a fucked up mindset, it's important that you meet your host, Brayand Ponciano. Real Estate Investor and serial entrepreneur, Brayand has learned one very important thing after years running successful businesses, you have nothing without your mindset. In this episode, Brayand uncovers his childhood growing up in the streets of LA and why his priority is to help you UnF*ck your mindset!
The unfortunate reality of unf*cking your mindset is that it can not be done within a day or two of hard work. The reason why it can't be done so quickly is because each of us is facing years and years of things we've been told by our parents, society, and even our loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, they don't know better either because they just repeat what they've learned. It's time for you to break the cycle and get committed to seeing, thinking, and acting differently. In this episode, Brayand uncovers how easily you may have overlooked the things you've been told and how they've affected you daily actions. The only way to begin unraveling your f*cked up mindset is to first acknowledge where it started.
Brayand Ponciano comes from humble beginnings and shares a bit about his upbringing in an immigrant family. It was tough for a kid growing up in an environment where gangs were everywhere, but through his personal journey, he was able to change his mindset and live a life with meaning. Brayand dives into why he prefers Multifamily over Single Family, and how he first got into multifamily properties. Key Takeaways: What was it like for Brayand to grow up in an immigrant family? Brayand was so close to joining a gang. What kept him from going down that path? If you're living in that environment, it's so hard to escape it. Brayand used to judge people all the time based on what they were wearing or the privileged life they seemed to be living. Your prejudices can really hold you back from succeeding in life. When did Brayand's mindset start to change? Everyone Brayand knew from Guatemala was poor, except for one lady and she was in real estate. Brayand noticed that high-level speakers would always, always talk about mindset. Brayand got his start in real estate through door knocking. If you know how to door-knock successfully, you will be successful in real estate. Fact! When you stop blaming everybody else and taking responsibility for your actions, life gets easier for you. If everything stems from your mind, how can you maximize it? Alex does a self-audit on his thoughts. Is this thought empowering me or is it hurting me? Wholesaling can be a rat race. How did Brayand transition into multifamily and create that cash flow? Hustling can be overrated. You don't have to be ‘on' all the time to get the work you need to done. Brayand got so burned out on flipping. He was DONE! It's important to play with your strengths. With multifamily, you will probably not be making money for at least 12-18 months. It is all about networking! It's all about who you know to help you get deals and get you exposed to new opportunities. Be the best version of yourself. Feel free to reach out to Brayand!

Brayand Ponciano Businessman – Poet – Foodie – Real Estate Investor – Shit Talker – Entrepreneur – Adventurer – Explorer Brayand is not your typical success story. Growing up in a poor, dangerous part of LA, Brayand was not on the path to business success. He was just happy to have a roof over his head and safety around him. Thank to a disciplined upbringing from his immigrant parents, he finished high school and went in search of a better life. He sold whatever he could, door to door, business to business until he found the world of investment real estate and the rest is history in the making Follow Brayand: Facebook.com/AZflipguys Instagram @nomadichustler Facebook.com/brayandponciano The Entrepreneur's MBA https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/the-entrepreneurs-mba/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Brayand Ponciano is here today to share his amazing story. He is a guy who started at the bottom, but had a huge drive that pushed him to the top of his game. Like all of us, he had his self-doubts, but that didn’t stop him from becoming a successful entrepreneur and real estate investor. I’ve known Brayand for a long time. He actually started out with bandit signs, and now he is closing on his first apartment complex. He shares his story and more in this lively episode. Topics on Today’s Episode: Brayand shares how he grew up in South Gate in the Los Angeles area. His parents were immigrants, and growing up poor a lot of these dreams of money and real estate didn’t seem very doable. Brayand shares how his mom wanted her kids to understand what it was like to be poor, so they would appreciate what they have. The difference between being confident as opposed to arrogant. Brayand saw the Carlton Sheets infomercials and wanted to get involved in real estate and started selling mobile homes. He answered an ad which he assumed wasn’t legitimate, but it turned out to be posted by Derek Jarr of GreenStreet Communities. Derek hired Brayand and gave him door knocking opportunities. The first guy with whom Brayand went knocking on doors was Brian North in 2007. They go through a list of people who are going through foreclosures. They would get a lot of denial and anger, but it was good experience. The market crash ruined Brayand’s first foray into real estate, but he didn’t give up. Out of desperation Brayand made a list of ways to make money. Through the process of elimination he decided to place bandit signs and was hoping it would get him back into the real estate game. How you may have to take a step back and get a full-time job or a side job in order to make it. You have to be willing to do whatever it takes that is legal and ethical. How not having money actually makes you more discerning when it comes to picking and choosing deals. Find out who you are because it is a big part of success. Be true to yourself and be who you are. The importance of breaking belief patterns and assumptions that can hold you back. Corey introduced the concept of other people’s money to Brayand. Even though he had some self-doubt, he got his first deal and it shot up his confidence level. How we can be our own worst critic in our minds. Going from fixing and flipping and transitioning into multifamily. You need a credibility kit to show that you have done deals and bought and sold properties. Perception is reality and Brayand is trying to transition to someone with more of a public persona. Line up money and line up a deal, but get away from the house. You aren’t a contractor or an errand runner. With this method you can do multiple flips at once. Learning how to leverage and use other people’s money and finding private investors. WIIFM or “what’s in it for me” is what your investors care about. Brayand likes giving back, giving his investor’s a better return, and automation. He used this strategy to move into multifamily properties after he used a lease option sandwich for some homes. He loves the cash flow thing, but not doing one deal at a time. As he progressed and let go of control, this led Brayand to where he is now. The concept of looking down the line. It’s not about you, it’s about the investors. You want them to want to give their money back to you when you pay them. The power of OPM. Remember WIIFM. People care about what you can do for them. Then find a way to present that to them.
