Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Tracy

What if the most magnetic thing you could do for your business is simply be more of who you already are? In this episode, Erin sits down with Rebecca Richardson, known across social media as The Mortgage Mentor: a nationally ranked, award-winning loan originator with over 25 years in the industry, a speaker, a coach, and a soon-to-be author. This conversation will leave you sighing a breath of relief, because Rebecca gives you permission to stop performing someone else's version of success and start building a business around how YOU are wired to think, work, lead, and define success. Rebecca's story begins with a dad who was a real estate attorney, a finance bug caught while working for a financial planner in college, and a pitch to a small Tennessee mortgage broker: "If you'll teach me what it is, I'll work hard and I'll make you money." She fell in love with the problem-solving of the job (in her words, "one big algebra equation combined with a Rubik's Cube") and did everything the industry prescribed: rise and grind, always available, chameleon for every client, 50 calls on Monday morning. It earned her the President's Circle and the Chairman's Club… and by 2018, it earned her a wall. Health issues and personal losses left her with what she calls the honest starting point of her transformation: "I don't have another choice other than choosing to do things differently if I want to stay in this industry." So she changed the game. She shifted from chasing to attracting, went all in on video early (posting on TikTok in 2019 after hearing GaryVee say all small businesses should be there), and learned to trust the voice that said "I might be early, but I'm not wrong." The result? Her business tripled. At her peak she closed 225 units, then turned around and closed 226 the next year, with a licensed assistant and half a processor. And the trade-off wasn't more sacrifice. It was a better life. Listen in as Erin and Rebecca discuss: Growing up around real estate (her dad was a real estate attorney) and the pitch that got her hired at a small Tennessee broker: "teach me, I'll work hard, and I'll make you money" Why the mortgage business is "one big algebra equation combined with a Rubik's Cube," and why she loves the problem-solving and the human connection Doing it the prescribed way until 2018: Brian Tracy tapes, always-on availability, being a chameleon for everyone, and hitting the wall anyway The turning point that wasn't enlightenment: "I don't have another choice" The mindset shift from chasing to attracting, and why attracting requires the willingness to be different Being early on TikTok in 2019, the questions people asked ("are you trying to educate teenagers so they buy from you in 10 years?"), and trusting "I might be early, but I'm not wrong" 225 units, then 226 back-to-back, with an LOA and half a processor, and a better life balance as the trade-off Desperation vs. decisiveness: do we have to break before we have the courage to do something different? Why Rebecca shares the behind-the-scenes, not just the accolades: "I would rather talk about the process, because the process has to be individual" Letting go of "my work was my worth," the insatiable monster of proving yourself through volume The dopamine hit, the "death period," and being willing to be bad so you can get good The efficiency lens on social media: one 5-minute video can reach a room of 300 people The Hustle Olympics, cortisol addiction, and learning how to actually rest Rebecca's pacing tools: a locked loan for every working day of the year, and planning 3 things per day based on real capacity instead of an endless to-do list The Inside Out anxiety character check-in: pause, reflect, and decide instead of pushing until you crash Representation: "Wait, you can do that?" and why seeing other women run business differently changes everything Her upcoming book Rule Breakers and the Built by Design / Business Blueprint archetypes: strategist, visionary, connector, operator, and advocate Erin's reminder: fear is not fact, and fear is not a forecast About Rebecca Richardson, known as The Mortgage Mentor, is a nationally ranked, award-winning loan originator, speaker, and coach with over 25 years in the mortgage industry, recognized by Scotsman Guide, HousingWire, and National Mortgage Professional.

So, we are truly blessed this morning. Jim. Oh my goodness, the things that people say and talk about. So, I do have to highlight the Guinness World Records attempt. That was so much fun. I haven’t had a chance to share with many of you, so I had this great idea about a year and a half ago to attempt a Guinness World Records attempt. So, what it was, was the most authors in the same book gathered in the same room and signed that book at the same time. So, the current record, or the previous record, was 126, and it was set in Toronto about six years ago, and for some reason, I couldn’t be there. I wasn’t able to be a part of it. I always thought it would be a great thing to do, so I started to reach out to Guinness, and there’s a lot you got to go through. There’s a lot of gatekeepers that you got to go in before you finally get an interview and get to talk with someone, and I think in the email threads, I think in the one email thread, I think I have about almost 80, about 78 emails back and forth. That’s how much dialogue went back and forth, and that’s not to mention the adjudicator and the follow-up people and everything, so it was just a lot of work. So, we had 183 people became part of this book. Now, I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to round up 183 people before. It was a challenge in itself, just to get the content from everybody to put into the book, and so on the day of the event, 142 of them actually showed up and were part of it, and so we had the adjudicator come in, we sat around tables, and we put a copy of the book that everybody was in on the table, and then he went around, verified who they were to make sure they were in the book, so we couldn’t just have, you know, Betty come in off the street. She had to be in the book. She had to be part of the book. We had to make the book available to the public, so 30 days before the event, we had to have it on Amazon, available to the public, so that we could sell copies of it. We had to sell a minimum of 100 copies of the book before the event. I mean, there was just a lot of fun stuff that we had to do, so when he went through and verified everybody, he said, okay, sign, and so everybody signed the book and passed it to the next person around the table, so we ended up with all these books, and so he came out a little bit later after he calculated everything, went with the witnesses that verified it all, and came out and said yes, that we had indeed set a new Guinness World Record of 142 authors signing the same book simultaneously, which was a lot of fun. It was just a lot of fun, so that’s something else I get to add to my resume, which is just so much fun, so anyways, that’s not why I’m here. I was looking for the stool of repentance. I know it’s hiding here someplace. I’m going to steal it from, I don’t know who was sitting on it, but they’re not sitting on it any longer, so I thought I’d start with, this isn’t the normal stool, but this will work. This one’s padded. This is even better, so I thought I’d start with the stool of repentance because I got a confession to make. There’s three things that I dislike. Wasting energy, wasting time, and wasting money. Anybody in any of those categories with me? I see some hands. Yes, I see hands going. I bet you it’s the money thing, right? Most people are like, oh, I wish I didn’t spend it on that. I could have got it five cents cheaper if I wouldn’t gone down the street, right? How many here drive, you know, 10 miles to go save two cents on a litre of gas? Anybody want to? Oh, we got a couple. We got a couple to do this. I think that’s hilarious, but you know, just one of those things that I’ve just noticed over time as I’ve matured, that’s code for old, getting older, as I’ve matured that, you know, those three things are really valuable and important to me, and I don’t know if it’s because, you know, we all know we have an expiration date, right? We don’t know what that expiration date is, but we know we got one, and I think as we get more mature and a little wiser with our years, we start to look at those things and we say, wow, I gotta stop wasting time. I gotta stop wasting so much money. I gotta stop wasting so much energy. I mean, how many people here have walked into the kitchen and forgotten what you went in there for, right? Then you have to walk back out again, go back into the room, come back in again, and try it all over again. That’s just a waste of energy, isn’t it? And say, you know, and with time, you know, with time, I audit my time every once in a while. Anybody else audit their time occasionally? Oh, I got no, I got no hands. Good, then you’re going to enjoy this lesson today. So, I audit my time every once in a while. I look down, and I started to teach this with my community because I calculated, you know, we got seven days a week, right? Everybody’s got seven days. We agree on that. We got 24 hours in a day, right? That equals 168. So, we got 168 hours every week. So, every once in a while, I’ll sit down with my timer. Okay, Jimmy, you got 160 hours. What did you do with it? And then I’ll start to backtrack what I’ve done, you know, with sleeping and spending time, and, you know, devotions, and reading, and studying, spending time with Mary, doing all those different things, and I begin to calculate it. Well, the first time I did it a number of years ago, I was missing seven hours. Anybody ever lose seven hours of time? I mean, I hunted all over the place trying to figure out where that seven hours went, and I could not figure out where it went. And I calculated, or recalculated, and went back. I started at the beginning, and came backwards. I started the backwards, and started going forwards, and I could not find it. Finally, I realised that I was watching a little bit of Netflix, right? How many here love Netflix, or, you know, any of those? I mean, there’s some great series on there. There’s some great movies. There’s some great entertainment, and I love getting into, you know, another story. I just love stories. I love getting into other stories, and when they come to life in movies, or in dramas, in sitcoms, whatever it is, I just love getting into those things. Well, I discovered I was watching a few extra than I thought I was, right? I was writing down one. Well, apparently, I was two or three that I was watching, so then I thought, okay, I need to adjust that, so I took that, and I found what that seven hours was, and I adjusted it, and I got going. Earlier this year, I did the same thing. I did another audit, and this isn’t, you know, commissioned by CRA or anything. It was just an audit that I just do on my own, and so I started going through it, and I discovered again. Good old Netflix had snuck back in there, and now, instead of one or two, I was watching two or three, and they go, oh, well, what would happen if I took one of those hours and invested it someplace else? So, I began to do that. I took one hour away from Netflix. Bad Netflix. I took it away from Netflix, and I started to invest it in doing something different with it, and I began to do this daily. I would just invest this hour into something different, and so in two weeks, I’m going to launch another book. I was able to write a book going through just stealing an hour back from Netflix and investing it into researching and reading and rewriting and doing all that fun stuff. I’ve now got my book in. It’s getting formatted and ready to come out in a couple weeks, so then I thought, well, I should share this with others, and so in my community, I’m starting a 100 hour sprint, and it’s taking one hour and focussing it on something that we want to change, a goal or something we want to achieve, something we want to change, and doing it for 100 days, and so I’m saying that because if you ever thought about something that you want to do or something you want to accomplish, a goal that you’re not really achieving, you’re welcome to The only cost is the commitment to the time, committing to that one hour and doing that, so if you want to, come up and see me afterwards. I’ll get you the Zoom link. We’re just going to meet on Zoom and take people through because I divide my years in quarters. Every three months is a quarter of the year, so September is coming up. We’re going to start this thing, and then October, November, December, that’s the last quarter, and that’s when businesses want to turn everything around and finish strong, and people look at their goals that they set on January 1st. How many set goals and intentions in January? No confessors on that one. I’m sure there are some that I see a couple hands waving around there. Yes, okay, and how are those goals working out for you? Oh, you’re on track. Good for you. That’s amazing. Good for you because many people, you know, by February or, you know, by the beginning of February, they’ve lost and they’ve forgotten about them, but we want to encourage people to finish strong in that last quarter because there’s so much that can be accomplished, and I was thinking of some of the mentors that I’ve had, one in particular. His name is Brian Tracy, and he said that to do a presentation, you need to spend 40 hours, four zero hours, in doing a presentation. That’s a lot of commitment, right? I mean, we could all commit right now to becoming vegetarians, and that might last until lunchtime, right, when that juicy hamburger is calling us, right? We can all start things. We can have good intentions to start things, but the follow-through, to finish it off strong, is a tough thing to do, and I don’t think we’re meant to do these things on our own. We’re meant to have community, have people around us to support and encourage us with that because it’s easy to have good intentions, right? You can think back of your own life and your own journey. I’m sure you can think of many times that you’ve started things and, you know, said, I’m going on that diet. Yep, supper time’s coming. That’s the end of the diet, right? You know, I’m going to go healthy. I’m going to start exercising weekly. It got as far as putting on your running shoes, and that was it. Like, that’s as far as you got with it, but to finish strong, I think, is an important thing to do. So, if you want to join us, you can join us because it’s one of those things that I really believe is that having the accountability, having people in our lives to encourage and support us, is an important thing to do. So, that’s my confession. You know, those are the three things that I don’t like wasting, is time, energy, and finances. This morning, we’re going to shift a little bit. We’re going to tie it all together. It’ll tie all together as we go, but I wanted to shift and talk about faith because, again, it’s something that is free, right? None of us paid for the faith that we have. None of us paid for the relationship we have with God. None of us have paid for the hours we get every day. None of us have paid any of those things. All that stuff is free, but what we do with it is valuable and important, and I think we need to look at that with our faith journey, with our walk in our relationship, and just say, how are we spending that time? How are we spending the energy in that? In Ephesians 2, it says this, for it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves, it is a gift from God. We recognise that it’s a gift that God gives us, right? Each day is a new day, and it’s a gift that God gives us, right? None of us at 11.58 at the evening before are running around going, oh, I gotta pay for the next 24 hours, right? I better get my, what’s the word I’m looking for? Credit for the day, right? I better get it in now so that I got my 24 hours. None of us have to do that, right? We go to bed at nighttime. We just believe that when our eyes open up, we’ve got another 24 hours. We got another day to use, and we recognise that it is a gift that comes from God. I want to read our main text from Luke chapter 9, verses 18 to 26. Prior to this, just leading up to this, Jesus has been doing a lot of miracles and healing the sick and setting people free from demons and from unhealthy, unclean spirits. He’s been sending out his disciples and doing it, and he met with them, and he was having this conversation with them. Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, who do the crowds say I am? They replied, some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others that one of the prophets of long ago have come back to life. But what about you, he asked. Who do you say I am? And just Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone. And he said, the son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. Then he said to them, whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world and yet lose or forfeit their very self? Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the son of man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the father and of the holy angels. It’s interesting, you know, that oftentimes we read in Scripture how Jesus went alone on his own to pray, but this time he was praying, but he had the disciples with him. He was hanging out with them in private, and it’s in those private meetings that things really gathered. As Stacey asked me earlier in the morning, if you got locked in an elevator, who would you want to get locked up with, right? Because it’s in those quiet moments, in those moments where we’re locked in a room or having a lunch with somebody or having a private meeting or an encounter, that we really get to know that person, and we get some real wisdom, we get some real understanding, we get a real depth of things when we get alone with them. And this is what it was like with the disciples. They’re hanging out with Jesus, and in those quiet moments he was leaning in and pouring out even more to them. And so he was challenging them and saying, you know what, who do you say I am? Or who did the crowd say I am? You know, and so he was getting the consensus of what was being spoken, you know, what are the reports coming in on CNN? What are the reports coming in on CTV news? What are the reports that, what are other people saying? But then he made it more personal, right? Don’t just look at their opinions, don’t just look at what other people are saying. What do you say? Because that’s where the rubber hits the road, as they say, right? That’s where true faith comes in, is what do you say? We can come to church and we can believe what the church doctrine is, we can believe what the church teaches and preaches, what the mandates are, and all that stuff, but what does it really mean to you? And that’s what Jesus was pushing in and pressing in on them, was what do you, who do you say that I am? And then he warned them strictly not to share it with anybody. It was almost like they leaned in and he pulled back the veil and said, guys, it really is true. It is me. I’m the one that was, you know, that your forefathers talked about. I’m the one that the prophets talked about. It really is me, but don’t tell anybody, right? You can go out in authority in my name, which he did. He commissioned them and he gave them authority to heal the sick and to set people free. It’s interesting that anywhere he went, whenever he went, sent the disciples up or any healing that he did, it was always mentioned that it was the healing of the sick and unclean spirits. Interesting how there was that combination, no matter where he went, no matter what was happening, there were these two things. It was the influence of unclean spirits in people’s lives and setting people free of sickness and illness. And it was fascinating how he did this and how he set them on the track to give him authority to speak in his name. Then he goes on to talk about whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up the cross. It’s so easy today, isn’t it, with all the doom scrolling. Anybody, you understand the doom scrolling, right? It’s taking that phone or getting on the computer and just endlessly searching and looking things up and scrolling through things to get our time, right? To take our time, to keep us activated. You realise that people are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to figure out ways to keep you engaged online, right? That’s their sole job, is just to create stuff and algorithms and stuff in a way just to keep you engaged, right? Have you ever talked about something, you know, in the presence of a computer or a television or a smartphone, and then all of a sudden that thing comes up on the smartphone, another thing. You know, there was a joke one time, a couple were talking and they were discussing how people saying that, you know, AI is always listening. Computers are listening to all our conversations. We can’t say anything in private because there’s ears everywhere. And they looked at each other and they started to laugh and they said, that’s impossible. And then Siri started to laugh, right? And then every, you know, all these other algorithms started laughing at them with them. But it’s true that, you know, those things are always listening, but they’re designed to keep us engaged. Why? To suck up our time, to keep us engaged in stuff that isn’t actively moving the kingdom of God forward. And that’s what we need to look at as Christians, is how are we using our time? Is there a better way to use our time? Are there more, you know, are there different relationships or better relationships that we can invest in that would actually encourage and support another person? Are there things that we can do actively with our time and our energy? Thinking about the hour, now an hour is a long time to commit to praying, isn’t it? But what about 10 minutes? Imagine what 10 minutes a day praying for 100 days would do. Imagine the effectiveness of committing to something like that on a regular basis. Imagine what God’s Spirit would begin to release to us or reveal to us as we begin to engage in that kind of activity. And that’s something that each one of us could do. Who here could not find 10 minutes to do something different with, right? We could all take 10 minutes from something and engage it in a different way. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world and yet lose or forfeit their own their selves? It’s interesting how Jesus challenges them at a deeper level. They thought they were just signing up because he was a great teacher, right? Because he was the current one, right? But he chose them for a reason, just the same as he speaks and challenges and calls each one of us to go deeper in a relationship with him. Our faith is free, but it isn’t cheap. And cheap has a terrible, you know, tone to it, right? But what I mean by that is that it did cost, didn’t cost us anything, but it will cost us if we really want to commit and walk in it. And I really believe that there’s a time where the church is going to begin to have to stand up for what they really believe. That it’s similar to what Jesus said to the disciples leaning forward. He said, that’s great. You’re hearing what everybody else is saying. You’re hearing the reports of what other people are saying, but what do you say? So let me ask you in your personal life, you hear what other people say in conversations, you hear different reports, you may read little blogs or emails, you may hear different things on YouTube and on Netflix, but what do you really say? Who do you say that God is? And what does God really mean to you? What does your relationship with him really mean? Is it something worth investing in, or is it something that we just pretend to do? You know, it’s one thing to show up on a Sunday morning, it’s another thing to live it out Monday to Saturday. That’s where it really becomes a challenge, doesn’t it? When we get into the grind of work or get into conflicting arguments or conversations with people, when we have struggles in families or with friends and neighbours, that’s when it can really become challenging. Faith will cost us. It will cost us time. If we’re really serious about our faith, we need to commit regular time to studying, to reading, to praying, to encouraging others. It may mean standing up for something or standing up and being accounted for. You know, it was interesting when you read that last part of that text that we read here, whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of those holy angels. How he’s calling us and challenging us. Are we willing to confess? Are we really willing to say and stand up for what we believe in? As we move forward, we can look at it, and there’s five things that I want to encourage us that we need to look at. One, we talked about earlier, is the time, right? Our faith grows as we spend more time with God. It’s going to take an investment of time. You invest a Sunday morning to come and gather corporately, to worship, to sing, to encourage each other, to listen to someone teach. What about the rest of the week? What are we doing with that time? Is there more time that we could allocate into spending time with God and praying and so on? The energy. Serving God takes energy and commitment. I mean, many of you come here, the worship leaders and those leading in the band, they come early to get set up. Our sound guys and our audio guys, everybody comes in early. Our greeters are here to prepare. Our Sunday school department is ready to go, right? There’s a commitment of energy to come in and get things prepared. So, it takes energy for us to really commit. And then, the commitment. Deciding to commit to something, deciding that we’re going to step out and do something, right? Rather than saying, okay, I’m going to go on that diet. It’s committing to doing what needs to happen. It’s committing to creating an environment that’s going to set you up for success, right? We know that we can’t have a good healthy diet if our kitchen pantries are full of chocolate chip cookies and potato chips and all those other wonderful food groups. So, we know that we need to set up our environment to really be committed to something. Faith calls us to be obedient. There’s some things that we may need to turn away from. There may be relationships or friendships that we need to step away from because some of those may be influencing us in a negative way. So, to be obedient to what God is calling us to is part of that faith journey. And just listening to what the Holy Spirit is saying, listening to those promptings. Oh, maybe Jim, you shouldn’t watch that third episode of Netflix today, right? It’s listening to those small things and say, okay, what can I do with that? But that takes energy to step away from it and to step into something different, isn’t it? It’s easy for us to get into the routine of just scrolling on our phones, just sitting back, flipping out another Netflix series, going to the kitchen, eating whatever we want. It doesn’t take any energy or commitment to do those things. But to live lives that Jesus is calling his disciples to, for example, took energy and commitment and obedience to listen to what God is calling them to, to step out in the truth. Because imagine that, you know, in those times when Jesus is ministering to his disciples, they didn’t have books that they go to the library. I mean, we’ve got amazing books out back there that, you know, we could read and learn about, right? They were living the stuff. They had to decide whether they were going to follow Jesus. They had to decide whether they’re going to be obedient to him. They had to decide whether it’s really worth picking up the cross, right? The cross had a whole different meaning for them. Cross meant pain, suffering, and death to them. Cross wasn’t something nice that we put in a church. Cross wasn’t something nice that you just hang around your neck and wear on a chain. The cross to them made something completely different. So when Jesus was saying, pick up your cross, he was just like, pick up that which may cause suffering and pain and death and separation, but pick it up and follow me. And it’s interesting how he challenged them and encouraged them to pick it up before he went to the cross. He said, this is where this journey is going to land, is where it’s going to cost us to pick up the cross. We have great freedom in this country, don’t we? Freedom to come to church. There’s no obstacles. There’s no militia, you know, trying to force us from not going or attending. There’s no government agencies or anything trying to force us underground. We have complete freedom. But sometimes in that freedom, we lose sight of what it really means. And I think it’s important that we go back to looking at these scriptures and what it really cost those disciples at the very beginning. What it cost them to step out in obedience. What it cost them to leave their livelihood and to follow Jesus was a completely different thing. And they had to decide in that moment if this guy is a lunatic or is he the real deal. And as they got to know him, as they got to spend time with him, he began to reveal more and more to them. And they began to discern that he really was the real deal. And you and I need to come to that same place of saying, who is he really to us? Is he a lunatic? Do I believe the stories in the Bible? Do I really believe the healings? Do I believe the stuff that I’ve read? Or is it just nice stuff that somebody put together? And it’s something that each of us have to individually decide. We can’t decide as a church. We can’t decide as a congregation. We have to decide individually. Because God meets us all where we’re at. And depending on the level of time and energy and commitment and obedience is the level to which God can use us in advancing his kingdom. The disciples were willing to put everything aside to follow him. The challenge is for us to look at it and say, am I willing to really follow it? I wanted to end with this question. What’s keeping us, what’s keeping you, what’s keeping me from following him at a deeper level? Is there something in our lives that’s keeping us from believing more, going to that next level, as they say? Is there something keeping me? For many of us, we attend church.

He argues the numbers game was invented to make constant rejection feel normal, and that in a low-trust market the quality and depth of a conversation matters far more than the volume of calls. Rejection, in his view, is usually triggered by how a seller communicates, which means it can be diffused rather than endured.

Ben Ward grew up in a split home, found his foundation in his dad's dusty box of Nightingale-Conant cassette tapes, and then got humiliated his first summer selling door-to-door — zero sales, a nickel flicked at him, and a breakdown on an Oceanside beach. That breaking point became the start of a career that took him from $25K his first real summer to over $400K a year, a company he co-founded to a public offering, and later an executive role scaling LuLaRoe to $2.2 billion. He also opens up about the hubris that drove his own company into the ground, what he learned about the gap between selling and leading, and his upcoming book co-authored with Brian Tracy. This one covers faith, family, failure, and the real cost of pride.

This is Get Rich Education.   Keith Weinhold  1:51   Welcome to GRE from Naples, Italy, to Naples, Florida, and across 188 nations worldwide. You're listening to one of America's longest-running and most listened-to shows in the real estate world. This is Get Rich Education, and I'm Keith Weinhold. Yes, the very founder of this snaggle-toothed operation right here. I'm a longtime real estate investor myself, erstwhile writer for both Forbes and the Rich Dad Advisors, serving on the Forbes Real Estate Council, you can also see my work in the USA Today and Business Insider. I'm the creator of Real Estate Pays Five Ways and the Inflation Triple Crown. Oh, after all that, really, I'm just a shaved mammal with slack jaw, a highly leveraged hominid of the landed gentry, right before I discuss the housing price crash of 80 to 95% you know, keep in mind that most people think that if you're in real estate, then you've got to be either a realtor or a landlord. I am neither a realtor nor a landlord. People also think that it takes tons of money. It does not. Now you could pursue no money down strategies, but that takes some time to learn and skill to develop. Now I was a landlord in the early years of my real estate investing, but after about six years of that, I hired a property manager and never looked back. Therefore, keeping this mostly passive, a 20 to 25 percent down payment on a carefully selected residential rental property includes ones that today can still have purchase prices below 200k. That's purchased in a geographically investor advantaged market. Okay, that is the center of what we do here because when you own property this way, now you've got the margin where you can pay a property manager to enjoy the five ways that you're paid mostly passively. Be a savvy borrower.   Keith Weinhold  4:02   Now, when you're between deals and accumulating capital to add the next piece of property to your rental portfolio, that's where you can flip and do the opposite in the short term and be a real estate lender for perhaps an eight to 10% stable return. That's what I do, rather than getting three and a half percent, which is the going rate today in a high yield savings account. So be a lender between deals in the short term, or you're a savvy borrower long term. Now the late analyst at Housing Wire, and he was also a past guest here on the show, Logan Modashami, he brought this 80 to 95% housing price crash media piece to my attention. It's in the form of a meta reel that got a lot of attention. Let's play it. I mean, this type of nonsense circulates out. It's not founded on anything substantive, and this just absolutely does not serve anybody. You've got to take this type of thing as entertainment, but it's being presented in a serious, informative way, and just listen to the basis for the claim.    Hayden Weston  5:19   The United States housing market is about to collapse 80 to 95 percent, which means that homes that were worth 1.5 million are going to be worth 300,000. The reason is simple: the U.S. housing market has reached its most unaffordable level in history. People cannot afford to buy homes, and if people cannot buy homes, the market must correct. The question is how hard the market is going to crash, not if it will. According to CPI and price history data, this is predicted to be worse than the 2008 housing bubble. We are going to see prices drop 80 to 95 percent.   Keith Weinhold  6:02   A housing price collapse of 80 to 95 percent. This is from a platform called Hayden Trades. It has got to be the worst example of trying to steal attention rather than serving people. Gosh, don't even make 20% or 50% crash predictions anymore go for far higher, I guess. He says it is according to the CPI and price history data. This doesn't even make sense. Now the low affordability mentioned that part is true, and this is what's slowed home price appreciation. But here in the late 2020s, there was more upward pressure on home prices, not downward inflationary pressure, which is rampant. That is poised to raise replacement cost because a home is a bundle of land, labor, lumber, concrete, copper, and energy. America's best job markets face land and regulatory constraints that pressures prices upward, and regulations are not easily repealed either. There's a large reservoir of sideline buyers that still want to own, and single-family home construction is woefully insufficient, keeping the supply down. Indeed, there is more upward pressure on home prices, not downward. This coming inflation wave, that's exacerbated by war, is unfortunately, or fortunately, if you're positioned, it's poised to widen the K-shaped economy where winners win bigger and losers lose more. The boat is leaving the dock. Are you on it?   Keith Weinhold  7:54   The distance between the boat and the dock just keeps increasing, and eventually you won't be able to make the leap, the jump from the boat to the dock. Now, in the near term, because we're approaching the fall season, when you hear stats about median home prices, note that prices are lower in autumn and winter than they are in spring and summer. It happens pretty much every year. Now, why is this? Well, one reason is that a lot of people don't think about is simply the fact that smaller houses get sold in the winter compared to the summer. And why would this be? This is because families with school-age children who need larger homes get their deals done in summer months before school starts. That is one reason why median home prices are higher in the summer than they are in the winter. When you look at a long-term price chart of homes, this is why you see peaks each summer and dips each winter. Now, investors like us. Now we're not buying so much for school-age children considerations, but this phenomenon affects the median prices that you see quoted in most any market. That is how that works, and why homes present better in the summer too. Green lawns, Leaves, flowers, and natural light improve curb appeal. Some say buy when the snow is flying, sell when the flowers are blooming.   Keith Weinhold  9:32   Shortly, I want to tell you about the city with rents that are up 26% year over year, and there's no end in sight to those rent increases, either. But first, there's a significant national real estate trend. Now, a lot of times, the discussion about the rental market centers around the level of rents or the vacancy rate, and those metrics sure do matter. But what about tenant retention? That is. Renter mobility rate. How long do residents stay? Well, renter mobility is down, down, down. They are not moving around. That's the big trend. Tenants are staying longer. Renters are waiting longer to buy homes than prior generations did. I mean a lot of people are beginning to wonder if their starter home will arrive before their first social security check does? The share of renters planning to move within three years that has plunged since 2019 from 57% then down to just 37% now. This is according to a national survey from the New York Fed. 57 down to 37% that plan to move within three years. Yes, this means that even after the pandemic waned, renters plan to stay in place longer. Everyone is staying put longer, and what exactly is keeping all of those moving boxes in storage? You guessed it. Buying their own home is more difficult to afford. It's kind of like an obstacle course where the down payment is waiting at the finish line, which is a long ways away. It's like an ultra marathon. This decline in renter mobility. This is obviously good news for income property owners and landlords because vacancy and turnover are our greatest expenses. People are paying more.   Keith Weinhold  11:39   You know, it's interesting that many are staying and put because a lot of renters often pay three to 5% annual renewal increases, especially in single-family rentals. Among apartment dwellers, there are currently more move-ups than move downs. People willing to spend a little more, and part of this is because a lot of people have just simply given up, completely given up on buying a home, choosing instead to fritter away their money on DraftKings parlays, couchie predictions, meme coins, burritos whose delivery fees cost more than the burrito, and a dozen forgotten subscriptions quietly feeding on their checking account. Yeah, a lot of people have just given in. Besides falling renter mobility, there is also falling homeowner mobility. One reason it has fallen is due to the well-documented mortgage rate lock-in effect. But mobility is down among both groups, among renters and homeowners, for a few different reasons. Like I've mentioned in previous shows, America is aging, and older people move less. Remote work means people don't have to move for a job, and housing inventory remains limited. This means that there are few attractive alternatives to move into, whether you're a homeowner or a renter. Those are some reasons as to why mobility is down for both groups. And the New York Fed analysis shows that renter mobility it is especially weak among that subgroup that believes that they will never own a home. I mean, this group of people really isn't moving. They are staying in place even longer. This group that believes that they will never own a home, and this is a skew toward lower income renters for sure, but even upper income renters are staying longer. You know, I own a lot of single family rental homes myself, and I'm just thinking now, I can't even remember the last time someone's moved out. It might be over a year since anyone has moved. The average renter's perceived chance of ever owning a home that has fallen, and this is significant for investors. Okay, that percent of renters that ever hope to own a home has fallen from 52% back in 2015 down to just 35% last year. 52% down to 35% The amount of renters that think they'll ever own a home. Both single-family rental and apartment renters are staying longer. This is both types, and it's not because these renters stop wanting homes. About two-thirds say that they would prefer to own if they had the money to do so. This is substantial. The drop in American mobility rate. I mean, that part is actually decades long, and this seems to catch people off guard. A lot of people falsely believe that people are moving more often, and that's something I've touched on before. This deeply hurts.   Keith Weinhold  15:00   Certain industries like moving companies, furniture stores, and yes, real estate agents—all these groups of people have got to be wondering where did everybody go? The answer is nowhere. Apparently, they are not going anywhere. So the bottom line here, with this lack of mobility, is that renters feel locked out, owners feel locked in, and landlords feel locked up with their tenants staying longer. Although this is good news for landlords and investment property owners, you know there is one thing to be careful of amidst these longer tenant stays, and that is, well, say you buy a rental property with an existing tenant in place that's been there for a while, it's more likely then that that tenant is paying below market rent, and why would that be? Well, because generally, the longer a tenant stays, the more likely it is that the previous landlord gave them a break on the rent. Now, why does that happen? Well, landlords can get lazy about bumping up the rent, and see what's really going on is that the previous landlord, perhaps the person you bought the property from, they themselves bought the property at a much lower price years ago than you did today, and therefore their mortgage payment is lower, and therefore the lower rent was able to cover their mortgage payment. So they weren't too worried about it. But if you're buying at today's prices, well, then you cannot stand for yesterday's rent amount, and that's why it's more likely that you need to bump up the rent to market rent. Although national rent growth is pretty flat, San Francisco continues to rewrite its record book per Zumper's national rent report.San Francisco's one-bedroom rent is up 23% year-over-year to 4,180 bucks, and two-bedroom rent is up 26% to over 6K, 6,020 dollars for the median rent in a two-bedroom San Francisco apartment-the first time they've ever topped 6K there. Yes, the city continues to lead the nation in annual rent growth, and even ahead of New York City for two bedrooms. That's because this is where the growth of the AI industry has collided with a supply-constrained housing market, high demand over low supply. I mean, you might remember that San Francisco was hit especially hard by the pandemic, but its bounce back has been amazing. Even beleaguered San Francisco office buildings are filling up again amidst the AI boom. Now, the Bay Area's previous tech boom back a while ago that was led by tech giants like Facebook, Apple, and Google. All right, that boom was largely concentrated in these sprawling suburban office parks in Silicon Valley. Now Silicon Valley is not in San Francisco. It is depending on just where you're going, perhaps 60 minutes south of San Francisco proper. But see, this time the city limits San Francisco finds itself as the epicenter because a lot of the newest, biggest names in tech like Anthropic and OpenAI, they are headquartered in the very same city neighborhoods that were struggling with occupancy just a few years ago, and see a big part of what's going on, and there's a lesson in this for you as when a lot of other cities built like Phoenix and Austin did, San Francisco did not, and what's interesting is that the publication, the San Francisco Standard, it reported that get this last November a two-bedroom apartment overlooking Alamo Square was advertised for $5,000 per month. That was already 30% above San Fran's median two-bedroom rent at the time, but despite that fact, so many people attended the open house that the property manager had to divide them into two touring groups. Qualified applicants were then emailed and told to submit their best offer of rent. Okay, basically an invitation to a bidding war here. One tech worker and her roommate bid $5,100. Management responded that they had reached the second round and invited them to increase their bid again, and they declined to increase their bid and they lost the apartment. Those. Same article reported that an even more extreme marina neighborhood example, the winning renter offered substantially above asking price, six months upfront rent, and twice monthly professional cleaning. What kind of prospective tenant offers their landlord professional cleaning? I've surely never had it happen. That and bidding wars are now taking place for San Francisco rentals. Could an AI surge and a lack of supply make anything like that happen in your rental market? That remains to be seen, and probably not to that extent. I've got more for you straight ahead, including the trend of money maxing. I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to episode 620 of Get Rich Education. What if you got your mortgage loans the same place I get mine? You sure can at Ridge Lending Group NMLS 42056. They provided GRE listeners with more loans than anyone because Ridge specializes in investment property. They'll help you build a long-term plan for growing your real estate empire with leverage. Start your prequal and even chat directly with President Chaley Ridge while it's on your mind. Start at RidgeLendingGroup.com. That's ridgelendinggroup.com. Let me ask you something: If you've worked hard to build wealth, is your money positioned to actually support your goals? A lot of accredited investors leave capital sitting in cash because it feels safe, but inflation and missed income opportunities can quietly erode its value. Freedom Family Investments offers freedom notes for investors seeking structured income backed by real estate. It's a straightforward approach built on real assets, not speculation. In full disclosure, I'm an investor myself. What I like is that their team walks you through how it all works, so you can decide if it aligns with your portfolio and income goals.

All right, that boom was largely concentrated in these sprawling suburban office parks in Silicon Valley. Now Silicon Valley is not in San Francisco. It is depending on just where you're going, perhaps 60 minutes south of San Francisco proper. But see, this time the city limits San Francisco finds itself as the epicenter because a lot of the newest, biggest names in tech like Anthropic and OpenAI, they are headquartered in the very same city neighborhoods that were struggling with occupancy just a few years ago, and see a big part of what's going on, and there's a lesson in this for you as when a lot of other cities built like Phoenix and Austin did, San Francisco did not, and what's interesting is that the publication, the San Francisco Standard, it reported that get this last November a two-bedroom apartment overlooking Alamo Square was advertised for $5,000 per month. That was already 30% above San Fran's median two-bedroom rent at the time, but despite that fact, so many people attended the open house that the property manager had to divide them into two touring groups. Qualified applicants were then emailed and told to submit their best offer of rent. Okay, basically an invitation to a bidding war here. One tech worker and her roommate bid $5,100. Management responded that they had reached the second round and invited them to increase their bid again, and they declined to increase their bid and they lost the apartment. Those. Same article reported that an even more extreme marina neighborhood example, the winning renter offered substantially above asking price, six months upfront rent, and twice monthly professional cleaning. What kind of prospective tenant offers their landlord professional cleaning? I've surely never had it happen. That and bidding wars are now taking place for San Francisco rentals. Could an AI surge and a lack of supply make anything like that happen in your rental market? That remains to be seen, and probably not to that extent. I've got more for you straight ahead, including the trend of money maxing.   Keith Weinhold  20:46   I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to episode 620 of Get Rich Education.

Listen to Get Rich Education with Keith Weinhold, and there is I respect Keith. He's a very strong, smart, bright young man.   Keith Weinhold  22:47   Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host Keith Weinhold. The rise of quick hit dopamine culture has definitely hit the personal finance world, and this is not a good trend for a lot of Gen Zers, who are those age 14 to 29, sports gambling is increasingly a part of what they think is financial planning. A recent survey from the wealth management platform Betterment shows that 26% of Gen Zers, more than one in four, then consider sports gambling as part of a deliberate long-term financial strategy. If you think that's bad, more than half of Gen Zers, 52% say they've rerouted funds from investment over to sports betting in the past year, and that's versus just 24% of all Americans. Yes, the rapid legalization of sports gambling means it's never been easier to bet your whole paycheck that the Mets are going to lose 100 games this season. When a prediction market or a sports book starts to feel like a retirement strategy, we have a problem, and this is congruent with the rise of dopamine culture across all of society, where we've gone from playing sports, then to watching sports, and now to gambling on sports. In the kitchen, it's where we've gone from home cooking to leaving and getting fast food, to ordering Uber Eats, it's where media has gone from film and TV to streaming shows, and now with dopamine culture, it is watching reels. It's how shopping has gone from first high street shopping, then to Amazon and now to the TikTok shop. It's how communicating with people. It's gone from handwritten letters to sending emails to Snapchats. It's how we've gone from newspapers to breaking news to rage bait. As far as what we listen to for music, this rise of dopamine culture-it used to be vinyl records, and then Spotify playlists, and now it's trending sounds.   Keith Weinhold  25:11   It's gone from finding love to casual dating to infinite swiping. How about the way we look at and share photos? It's gone from photo albums to camera rolls to Instagram stories, and how about the way we access information with this rise of dopamine culture? It's gone from libraries to Google to Chat GPT, and that brings us to money maxing. Okay, yes, here in our finance world, the rise of dopamine culture has led to this. Yes, that is apparently a word now. Money maxing-it's all one word with 2x's. It sounds like something invented by a 22-year-old who's got three credit cards, three hoodies, and one fork. Okay, but money maxing-that is one of the newest personal finance trends spreading across social media. Now, the maxing stuff in that whole suffix that first became popular through terms like looks maxing, which means trying to maximize your physical appearance, whether you're male or female, and now people are sleep maxing, health maxing, career maxing, and I guess it was just inevitable until they were money maxing. And what it really means is optimizing your financial life so that every dollar works harder for you. That could include using a high yield savings account, earning credit card points and rewards, automating your investments, negotiating bills, and eliminating wasteful spending-eh, in other words, it's just another internet reinvention of financial responsibility. I mean, your grandparents just called it being sensible.   Keith Weinhold  26:58   Now, I do like the fact that young people are talking about money. I mean, as we've covered before, financial education is desperately needed. Schools will teach you about the parts of a biological cell, but surely not how to read a mortgage statement. So you can graduate knowing that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, while believing that a tax refund is free money from the government. So you know, directionally, money maxing is good, but see, it usually only focuses on one side of the equation. That's the problem with money maxing. It only focuses on spending less. And here at GRE we take a different approach. The old financial advice is live below your means, and GRE's philosophy is grow your means. You should only live below your means earlier in your financial life when you sort of have to and you need to form capital for investments. But grow your means so that you can have the means to do things. I mean, that is the point of financial betterment.   Keith Weinhold  28:09   Long term, financial betterment is certainly not sustainable by saving money by getting a haircut at home, only watching men's fast pitch softball at the Moose Lodge because it's free instead of going to a Major League Baseball game, saving $120 on air tickets by adding an extra layover on your trip itinerary, or a buy one get one free deal on Hillshire Farm Bacon. Now, of course, you shouldn't waste money if you're paying for six streaming services and you're only watching one. Well, cancel the others. If you carry a credit card balance at 24% surely extinguish that financial dumpster fire. But you cannot shrink your way to an extraordinary life. There is a floor beneath how little you can spend, there is no ceiling above how much value you can create for others. You can cancel your coffee, you can stop eating out, you can turn down the thermostat until your living room feels like a meat locker, but eventually there is nothing meaningful left to cut. That is the weakness in traditional money advice. It treats personal finance like a sinking ship, and it just hands you a bucket. Growing your means is building a bigger ship. The most powerful form of money maxing is not squeezing another 2% off your grocery bill. It is increasing your income. It is acquiring productive assets and creating systems that pay you repeatedly. I mean, saving 20 bucks is fine. Creating another income stream can continue for. Years. This is the difference between subtraction and multiplication. Most money-maxing advice really isn't different than that conventional advice. It's living in the world of subtraction. Cut this. Cancel that. Buy the generic cereal. Drive across town to save 12 cents per gallon. Hey, congratulations! You just spent 40 minutes of your finite life to save $2.80. Real wealth is built through multiplication. Multiply your income, multiply your skills, multiply your relationships, learn a new system, multiply the number of people you serve with rental property, and then multiply your money through productive assets. Now, this does not mean to spend recklessly. Growing means is not permission to inflate your lifestyle every single time your income rises, but it means directing more attention toward expansion than deprivation.   Keith Weinhold  30:59   Ask yourself a better question. Instead of asking how can I save another $100 this month, ask how can I create another $1,000 of monthly income. That very question activates a completely different part of your brain. Now maybe you develop a valuable skill. Maybe you negotiate your compensation. Maybe you start a business. Maybe you acquire an income property. Maybe you turn knowledge, intellectual property, or an audience into a recurring revenue stream. You start looking for leverage rather than looking for coupons and leverage, that is the real engine of what money maxing ought to be. Leverage means accomplishing more with less of your personal effort, and there sure are a lot of forms you can leverage other people's time. You can leverage systems and technology. We're going to talk about a system later here. You can leverage media where one message reaches 1000s or millions of people, and in real estate, you can leverage other people's money. You can scale. A few weeks ago, here I discussed four different types of scale. Real estate investors can get them all at the same time. If you remember, they are financial leverage, like with the five ways. There's operational leverage, there's geographic leverage, and finally replication. You use a relatively small down payment to control a much larger asset while your tenant pays you rent, that income helps cover the property's expenses and mortgage, and over time, inflation tends to lift rents and property values. While your fixed rate debt becomes easier to repay with diminished dollars, I mean that is real money maxing right there. In fact, GRE's real estate pays five ways framework might be the ultimate money maxing system. One property can produce cash flow; it can appreciate. Your tenant can gradually amortize your loan for you. You get the tax benefits, and inflation can transfer wealth from the lender to you through your fixed rate debt, five simultaneous financial benefits attached to one asset. Oh, and we're going to take that and compare that with saving 50 cents on toothpaste. Now, both things technically do improve your finances, but they don't even belong in the same zip code.   Keith Weinhold  33:41   Now, none of this means that every leveraged property is a good investment. In fact, leverage amplifies outcomes. A well-selected, properly financed property is going to accelerate your wealth creation. But a bad deal with thin reserves-hey, that can accelerate your introduction to an attorney. Money maxing still requires judgment. You want durable income, adequate liquidity, responsible underwriting, and you want to have enough reserves to withstand the inevitable surprise. Because every rental property eventually introduces you to something that is leaking, squeaking, or perhaps refusing to pay. The goal is not to optimize every dollar so aggressively that your financial life becomes fragile. And really, that is an important warning about all forms of maxing. Optimization can go too far. Someone might transfer money among five banks to chase these tiny promotional yields, and open 12 credit cards for bonus points, and then monitor every purchase with the intensity of airport security. Okay, I mean technically they're optimization. Their money, but they're also turning their life into like an unpaid accounting internship. Your money should create freedom, not become another demanding employer. Effective money maxing focuses on the big levers first. Get some big wins. Increase your earned income. Own those productive assets. Use good debt prudently. Reduce taxes legally. Protect yourself against catastrophic losses. Maintain liquidity, and then optimize the smaller expenses. Do not spend three hours clipping coupons while ignoring a poorly structured $400,000 mortgage. You do not congratulate yourself on saving $9 on lunch while leaving 50k idle in an account that earns almost nothing. So we don't obsess over credit card points while carrying a balance because paying 24% interest to earn 2% cash back is not money maxing. That is like arithmetic getting mugged in an alley. And there's also an important difference between looking rich and becoming wealthy. Social media rewards visible consumption on things like cars, watches, first-class seats, rooftop dinners, actual wealth-that's something that's often invisible. It is the rental property quietly producing income. It is the ownership stake compounding in the background. It is the tax strategy that's never going to appear in a photograph, and it is the growing gap between what you earn and what you need to live.   Keith Weinhold  36:46   The person displaying the most wealth can have the least. The person saying very little might own the building. So yes, embrace money maxing. Know where your money goes. Eliminate the waste. Negotiate recurring expenses, automate your good decisions, and make your dollar purposeful. Each dollar, but don't stop with living below your means because that is only financial defense. Growing your means is financial offense. Saving money can make you more secure. Owning productive assets-that's what can make you free. The highest form of money maxing is not becoming the world's most efficient consumer. It is making the transition from consumer to owner. Own businesses, own equities, own real estate, own assets that produce value while you sleep, travel, or spend time with the people that matter to you. Because your time is limited, and yet your appetite for generic cereal is also limited. But your ability to create value, acquire assets, and grow your means. That is far less limited. Live below your means if you must, but don't stay there. Grow your means. That is true money maxing. And the number one reason that people don't acquire wealth. Do you know what it is? It's that it simply does not occur to them that they can.    Keith Weinhold  38:24   That is what Brian Tracy said. That is so incredibly simple, and it's true. If you want a money max, you need to have a great system. Let me tell you about a system called the Seven Figure Solution. Now you've been listening to me weekly for almost 12 years here, which I'm immensely grateful for. You've been earning money, investing well, and here with the seven-figure solution, you're going to be able to finally see how it all goes together. It's about making sure that your real estate and other assets appropriately fund your retirement in a way that gives you protection against market downturns, a tax advantage pool of liquidity, the death benefit of a life insurance policy, and actually introduces you to a new form of leverage all at the same time, the liquidity is key because this is where a 401(k) or IRA limit you. Those vehicles have taxes and penalties if you want to use those funds early, and this does not.   Keith Weinhold  39:34   But the seven-figure solution-it's not just for retirees. In fact, our own in-house investment coach here, Naresh uses something like this, and he's in his 30s. It also gives you a significant tailwind during your investing career. Integrate the seven-figure solution the GRE way, where we have a conscientiousness about leverage in cash flow, and in this case, part of it is how to prove. Leverage a life insurance policy. When it's time to tap that policy's cash value, you take what is a policy loan, not a withdrawal, because you're borrowing against your cash value, and therefore you're using the funds in more than one place. That's the leverage, and then the IRS does not tax loan proceeds, and this reminds me of a billionaire borrowing against the value of their stock rather than having to sell any of those assets. And yet, this can be done tax-free. It's similar to what you can do with the seven-figure solution, even for non-billionaires, it is buy, borrow, die. This leverages an indexed universal life policy, and there is the right way to do this and the wrong way to do it. Part of the seven-figure solution is that your cash value can have an upside ceiling and loss protection on the downside. That's really something that you only care about more as you're closer to retirement. And there are some mistakes to avoid here. You don't just want to set up the seven-figure solution off of a website, and it's based on products that you might have heard of from companies like Nationwide and mass mutual. I strongly encourage you to learn more, see how it all goes together, and learn how the seven-figure solution compares to other vehicles like a Roth IRA, 401k, and even a 721 and 1031 exchange. This is very much about you being able to picture your future, you've been building your real estate portfolio either from your investment coach or on your own. This is how the puzzle pieces finally are all going to go together. I am cordially inviting you to join us for a special live event, the Seven Figure Solution. It is co-hosted by our own GRE investment coach Naresh and Haven Bridges Jared, who you heard from on the show with me last week. By attending live from the comfort of your own home or from anywhere, you can have your questions answered in real time. It is this Thursday, the 27th, at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific.   Keith Weinhold  42:23   Most people spend decades building wealth, and then they lose far too much of it because the retirement pieces were never designed to work with each other. So you're going to see how real estate, taxes, insurance, and retirement income can fit into one coordinated strategy, helping you grow and protect your wealth, access capital without immediately selling your assets, and potentially avoid losing hundreds of thousands of dollars to taxes unnecessarily. So it's not just another collection of disconnected financial tips. Really, it's your opportunity to finally see the entire retirement picture and understand what might be missing from yours. It's complimentary to attend. The longer you wait, the fewer options you could have. Decisions made today can affect your wealth for decades. Don't wait until retirement day to discover that your plan had expensive holes in it. There are some moving pieces here, so it's especially helpful that you attend this one live, and that way you can have any questions answered in real time, so that you really understand. And you might have been one of thousands of listeners that have attended our property webinars before, and they are important to building your portfolio. But this one could very well be more important in seeing your big picture, seeing your retirement, and seeing that your heirs aren't left with a giant tax bill too. You can reserve your seat now for the seven-figure solution at grewebinars.com again. That's grewebinars.com. Until next week, I'm your host Keith Weinhold.

In this episode, we sit down with Eric Berman—a serial entrepreneur, best-selling author, investor, and business partner to the legendary Brian Tracy. Eric shares his incredible journey from losing everything in the 2000 market crash to building "Speak Easy," an industry-leading global mastermind network that has grown to over 30 chapters worldwide.

You sit down with a recruit and you start talking, and halfway through you realize you sound exactly like the company website. The platform, the products, the tech stack, the comp plan, all the stuff every other leader in your market is saying too. And the recruit's eyes glaze over, because they've heard it nine times this year from nine different people who all sound the same. Here's what I want you to walk away with today, and it should change how you walk into every recruiting conversation. Between 80 and 90% of the people who join an organization join because of the leader, not the company. You are the differentiator. I'll give you four moves that make your leadership vision impossible to confuse with corporate messaging. Episode Breakdown [00:01:40] Duct Tape Tennis Shoes I grew up low income, duct tape tennis shoes. I was the poor kid at school, and I knew it. At 19 I left home and planted a flag in the ground and told myself I'd never live like that again. I went to college, hated it, and left after one semester, but I didn't give up on the dream. I started going to every conference and live event I could get to, Brian Tracy, Zig Ziglar, Jim Rohn, Les Brown, and I taught myself. By my mid-20s I was one of the top salespeople in a Fortune 500 company. [00:02:25] Why That Story Beats a Comp Plan When I share that in a recruiting conversation, the recruit doesn't hear a comp plan. They hear personal growth. They hear a value I didn't pick off a list because it sounded good, I lived it in shoes held together with tape. A competitor can match my comp by Friday. They can buy the same software. But not one of them can copy that story or the value it proves, because it happened to me and not to them. Lead with the company and you're handing the recruit something anyone can duplicate. Lead with you and you're handing them the one thing in this entire industry that's impossible to replicate. [00:03:05] The Premise: You Are the Product, Not the Company Four moves sit on one idea. You are the product, not the company. That's the frame underneath everything that follows. [00:03:21] Move 1: Stop Saying You're Better and Start Being Different Almost every leader you compete with is going to say some version of we're better. The second you say better, you've invited a comparison contest on comp and rate sheets, a contest you might lose. Different takes you out of the contest completely, because your exact combination of experience, beliefs, and culture can't be ranked against anybody. There's nothing to compare it to. [00:03:54] Move 2: Build Your Message From Your Own Stories Your values should come from your life, not from a values page someone in marketing wrote. A value with a story behind it is impossible to fake and impossible to copy. My family-first value isn't a word on a wall, it's the thing that got me out of bed in the worst year of my life. When a value has a story like that under it, the recruit believes it, because you're not claiming it, you're proving it. [00:04:26] Move 3: Make Every Value Concrete Enough to Repeat Here's the test. If it takes you five minutes to explain what one of your values means, it's too abstract, and the recruit won't remember it the moment they leave the room. Get each value down to one concrete sentence a recruit could write on a napkin after hearing it once. Concrete is memorable, and memorable is what walks out the door and keeps working on them. [00:04:54] Move 4: Name Your Culture So It Self-Selects Don't describe your team as a list of features, give it an identity. If you run a fully virtual selling culture that hands out an award for the most creative spot somebody shows up from for the sales meeting, say that. The right person hears it and thinks that's me, and the wrong person screens themselves out before you waste a conversation. A named culture is a filter and a magnet at the same time. [00:05:25] Why It Works If 80 to 90% of hires come because of the leader, then every minute you spend selling the corporate platform is a minute spent on the weakest lever you have, while you're sitting on the strongest one, your own story and vision, and most leaders barely touch it. And you can't be commoditized. Comp gets matched, platforms get matched, perks get matched, but your value system, your why, and your vision can't be duplicated by anybody, which means the moment you compete on those you stop being a slightly better option and become a category of one. And a lived story is believable in a way a claim never is. Anybody can say they value growth or family or hard work. Prove it with a real moment from your real life and the recruit stops evaluating a pitch and starts connecting with a person, and people join people. [00:06:25] Your Small Win Today Take one line of corporate messaging you've been leaning on in recruiting conversations and rewrite it as something only you could say. If a competitor could say the exact same sentence, it isn't differentiating you. [00:06:49] Three Bigger Moves This Week Write one of your core values as a story, beginning, struggle, and overcome, so your whole team learns to recruit on identity instead of the rate sheet. Rewrite each of your values into one concrete sentence a recruit could repeat after hearing it once, so your message lands the same whether it comes from you or anyone on your team. Then name your culture and three specific rituals inside it, so the right recruits self-select toward you and you stop burning time on the wrong ones. Key Takeaways Between 80 and 90% of people join because of the leader, not the company. You are the differentiator. Corporate messaging is the weakest tool you have. Your story, your vision, and your values are the strongest. A competitor can match your comp by Friday and buy the same software. They can't copy a story that happened to you and not to them. Stop saying you're better. Better invites a comparison contest on comp. Different takes you out of the contest completely. A value with a story under it is impossible to fake. You're not claiming it, you're proving it. If it takes five minutes to explain a value, it's too abstract. Get it down to one sentence a recruit could write on a napkin. Name your culture and it becomes a filter and a magnet at once. The right person self-selects in, the wrong one screens out.

Brian Tracy shares a lesson on why most people never act on their best ideas. He reveals why the speed you take action predicts whether you ever will, why "someday" is a place the bottom 80% never leave, and why "I'll try" is really failure booked in advance. This episode will motivate you to vote yourself off the island and move today.Source: Brian Tracy: Double Your Take Home In Half The TimeHosted by Sean CroxtonFollow me on InstagramSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Scott Duffy's entrepreneurial journey is proof that success rarely follows a predictable roadmap. In this episode of Inventive Journey with Devin Miller, Scott shares an incredible story that spans hot dog stands, catastrophic setbacks, Tony Robbins, Silicon Valley startups, internet media companies, and the rise of artificial intelligence.Scott's story starts in Los Angeles where his father intentionally pushed him toward responsibility early in life. Working at hot dog stands and catering events taught him customer service, accountability, and work ethic before most teenagers even understand what taxes are. Eventually he found himself selling quiche at a food cart in Century City, which may be one of the least glamorous but most educational entrepreneurial beginnings imaginable.After graduating high school, Scott attended the University of San Diego where a simple piece of networking advice changed everything. He built relationships with the university's career counseling department early and that eventually opened the door to AAA Student Painters. There, Scott learned real entrepreneurial skills including hiring, operations, billing, customer service, inventory management, and leadership.Then came a life-changing tragedy.During a trip to Mexico in college, Scott was involved in a devastating car accident that left him with brain hemorrhages and forced him to leave school temporarily. Recovery became one of the hardest periods of his life. Unable to comfortably read or watch television, Scott spent his days listening to motivational audio programs from icons like Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, and Tony Robbins.That unexpected detour eventually led him to apply for an internship with Tony Robbins. Instead of an internship, he was offered a job.Working alongside Tony Robbins during the early growth years of the company transformed Scott's perspective on mindset, communication, sales psychology, and business development. One of the most valuable lessons he learned involved understanding customer psychology through deeper questioning. Scott explains why simply asking customers what they want is not enough and how businesses must understand how customers define value personally.The episode also dives into Scott's entrance into Silicon Valley during the earliest days of the commercial internet. At a time when most people barely understood what the internet even was, Scott recognized massive opportunity emerging in the Bay Area.With almost no money, he couch surfed throughout San Francisco trying to break into tech startups. Eventually he ran out of cash entirely and found himself sleeping in his car outside Oracle headquarters during a rainstorm while deciding whether to give up or keep pushing forward.Then came the legendary pizza-resume strategy.Scott used his last few dollars to buy discounted leftover pizzas, stuffed his resume underneath the cheese, and delivered them to startup offices. The unconventional approach worked because it stood out in a world already crowded with generic resumes and predictable networking tactics.That creative gamble helped launch Scott into internet startups that later became major media brands including CBSsports.com and other high-growth digital companies during the dot-com era.The conversation then shifts toward artificial intelligence and why Scott believes AI mirrors the early internet revolution. Having entered AI years before mainstream adoption accelerated, Scott now works with organizations around the world helping them become AI fluent and avoid falling behind technologically.One of the most powerful themes throughout the interview is focus.Scott shares his “hammers and nails” analogy to explain why entrepreneurs fail when they spread themselves too thin.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

Dominic Rubino is a business coach with over two decades of experience who built a Brian Tracy franchise from 6 locations to 240 worldwide, sold it, and never looked back. He hosts two highly niched podcasts, Profit Tool Belt and Cabinet Maker Profit System, where he helps small trade business owners get clear on time, team, money, and growth. What hit me hardest about this conversation was that Dominic had everything on paper. Two hundred and forty franchisees. International operations. A name in the industry. And then his nine-year-old son shrank at the dinner table, and Dominic made the decision right there. He sold the company. He showed up. And now his son is heading off to play NCAA lacrosse. This episode is about what it actually takes to build a business that serves your life — not the other way around. Dominic talks about delegation, systems, the cost of constant travel, and why the guys who can't stop working are often running from something. If you've ever felt like a prisoner to the income you built, this one's for you. If you're a father who owns a business or is grinding through a W-2 job that keeps pulling you away from the people you're doing it all for, this conversation will hit close to home. Dominic doesn't deal in theory. He's lived it, coached thousands through it, and he has the frameworks to prove it.   Timeline Summary [1:02] Dominic's last name gets butchered before the mic even starts rolling — and a quick side note about Dallas [1:54] Host sets up the dinner table moment — nine-year-old Joseph shrinks in his chair and changes everything [2:17] Dominic describes building a Brian Tracy franchise from 6 to 240 locations across the U.S., Brazil, and Europe [3:32] A surprise buyout offer comes in from franchisees — and Dominic says no [4:13] The real cost of constant travel: getting invited to the hotel concierge's birthday party [5:29] The moment it all shifted: Joseph drops his head at the dinner table and Dominic decides to sell [7:05] Dominic reflects on the things he missed — first steps, first swimming lessons — and what his kids saw him miss [9:16] Host shares his own version: his six-year-old son locked around his ankle on the floor, begging him not to leave again [13:03] Why Dominic stopped being afraid to reinvent himself — and the promise he made to never sacrifice his family again [20:08] Advice for W-2 guys feeling stuck: stop sending resumes into the void and go talk to a human being [25:17] "Cat's in the Cradle" — one song that answers this whole conversation, and a hospital story that hits like a gut punch [31:42] The less you work, the more you make: why Dominic hires great people and then hires them an assistant [36:15] A live breathing exercise on air — and what it should feel like to actually be on top of your business [43:23] A client sells his company for seven figures and his wife asks one question: "Does this mean you can finally do donuts with dad?" [47:12] How Dominic helps trade business owners in the $1–3M range get clear on time, team, money, and growth [50:07] How to find Dominic — two podcasts, a TEDx talk, and a college wrestler who is definitely not him   Five Key Takeaways The moment that changes you doesn't announce itself. For Dominic, it was a nine-year-old boy silently shrinking at the dinner table. You don't always know what your kids see you miss, but they're watching — and so are you, somewhere deep down. Reinventing yourself isn't the scary part. The scarier thing is spending another decade in golden handcuffs, telling yourself you're doing it for the family while the family waits at the door. Stop lying to yourself about being trapped. You're not. Finding a job is a job. Don't send your resume into the LinkedIn black hole. Figure out which companies and which people you actually want to work for and go talk to them. Every business owner out there is looking for someone committed enough to show up before they're asked. Hire great people, then hire them an assistant. If your best people are spending their time on tasks that a $20/hour assistant could handle, you're paying premium wages for checkbox work. Build small teams, assign assistants early, and let them do more than you ever could alone. A business only gets clear when everything in your head gets out of it. Strategic planning is really just moving the chaos from your mind onto paper. Once it's on paper, it becomes the boss. Then you work backwards from that to figure out what has to happen this quarter, this week, and today.   Links & Resources Profit Tool Belt Podcast — search "Profit Tool Belt" on any podcast platform Cabinet Maker Profit System Podcast — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cabinet-maker-profit-system-podcast/id1353937790 Dominic Rubino TEDx Talk: Family Inc — search "Dominic Rubino TEDx" on YouTube The Dad Edge Alliance — http://thedadedge.com/join Episode show notes and links — http://thedadedge.com/1483   Closing If Dominic's dinner table story hit you somewhere you weren't expecting, trust that feeling.

When your income starts to scale, the instinct is to focus on earning more and delegate everything else. You build momentum, create cash flow, and then hand your capital over to advisors, funds, and institutions that are supposed to manage it efficiently in the background. The system looks sophisticated, regulated, and optimized, so it feels like the right move. But what many high-income earners and investors don't realize is that the biggest risk to their wealth often isn't the market… It's the structure their money sits inside. Because once capital is placed into systems you don't fully understand, small decisions start compounding in almost invisible ways. Fees that seem insignificant begin to erode long-term growth.  Portfolios that look diversified turn out to be overlapping and inefficient. And over time, instead of compounding wealth, you're quietly leaking it. In this episode of Money School Elite, I sit down with Robert Rolih, investor, entrepreneur, and author of The Million Dollar Decision, to break down what really happens to your money after you've made it. In this conversation, we discuss why small, seemingly harmless fees can significantly delay your financial freedom, how a lack of visibility into your own portfolio creates hidden risk, and why many investors don't actually know what they own. About the Guest    Robert Rolih is an entrepreneur, bestselling author, and long-term investing expert known for exposing Wall Street's hidden traps and teaching investors how to simplify wealth building.

On this episode of Escaping the Drift, we sit down with David Royce: founder of Aptiv, EY National Entrepreneur of the Year, and the man who turned a college summer job spraying for bugs into a nine figure exit to private equity.Before selling Aptiv for a number that made hundreds of his employees six and seven figure earners, David was a broke BYU finance student who sold zero pest control contracts in his first five days on the job. He went to a bookstore, bought half a dozen sales classics from Zig Ziglar to Brian Tracy, committed to 90 minutes of reading a day, and finished that summer as the top rookie in the entire company.In this episode, David opens up about the moment his boss casually mentioned selling his pest control business to Terminex for 10 million dollars, the ego he had to swallow to walk away from a Wall Street M&A career, and the white collar approach to a blue collar industry that built one of the fastest growing service companies in America.We dive into why the secret about unsexy industries is they have sexy margins, the Wall Street Journal data showing 43% of the top 0.1% of earners own boring businesses, and why door to door still grows companies seven to ten times faster than digital marketing. He breaks down the surgical software his team built to knock the right neighborhoods, the customization touches that separated Aptiv from every other pest control company, and why he gave 25% of the company away to his managers on the way out.If you have ever sat in a white collar job wondering what AI is about to do to your career, this conversation will hand you the playbook the wealthy have been quietly running for decades.

Have you ever walked into a room and just felt it? That electric energy of being surrounded by people who get it, who push you, who see the same vision you do? That feeling is not an accident. It is proximity working its magic. And this week's guest has built an entire movement around that exact idea. Eric Berman is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and marketing strategist who has spent decades mastering the art of building powerful communities. He is the founder of Speakeasy Mastermind, a fast growing global community of growth minded entrepreneurs focused on marketing, sales, and business development now spanning 26 chapters worldwide. He is also the founder of Celebritize and Branditize, and has served as Brian Tracy's business partner for over 25 years. On top of all that, he is a husband, a father, a racehorse owner, and yes, a former cast member of Millionaire Matchmaker. The man contains multitudes. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, Cary and Eric go deep on something that does not get talked about enough which is the real cost of isolation as an entrepreneur. Eric calls it the isolation tax, and if you are out there grinding alone, you are probably paying it without even realizing it. They also get into what it truly takes to build and scale a mastermind community without letting the quality slip, how to find your zone of genius, and why proximity to the right people might be the highest leverage move you can make in business right now. Eric's book Proximity Pays anchors a big part of this conversation. The core idea is simple but powerful. Finding the right room, building the right relationships inside it, and then making that room better for everyone in it. That three part framework has shaped how Eric runs Speakeasy Mastermind and how he thinks about growth in general. One of the biggest lessons from this episode is that you have to stop being afraid to repel people. Eric and Cary both agree that the best communities are built on curation, not volume. Speakeasy Mastermind is not for everyone, and that is exactly the point. When you are clear about who belongs and who does not, the right people show up fired up and ready to contribute. The wrong ones self select out. That kind of clarity protects the culture you are working so hard to build. Another gem from Eric is what he calls the anchor member model. When launching a new chapter, the city captain's first job is not to fill seats. It is to find five absolute rock stars who believe in the vision and set the tone for everyone who comes after. If that foundation is weak, the whole thing crumbles. Get it right from the start, and everything else becomes easier. Eric also gets real about the entrepreneurial trap of playing in the wrong sandbox. He shares how easy it is to grind hard in a direction that was never really yours to begin with, chasing money in a lane that never quite fits. His advice is to pay attention to what comes naturally, what lights you up, and what other people keep asking you to do. That intersection is usually where your real path is hiding. The conversation also touches on work life balance, or what Cary calls the systematic harmonization of ambition and wellbeing. Eric talks about the daily rituals he uses to stay present with his family while still building something big, including a game changing wind down routine before bed that helps him actually sleep at night. Spoiler, it has everything to do with getting your task list organized before you close your laptop. And then there is Eric's core belief that ties everything together. He lives by the Brian Tracy quote, I am responsible. No excuses, no blame, no waiting for someone to hand you the life you want. You are either building it or you are not. That mindset, combined with a relentless commitment to follow up and follow through, is what separates the people who talk about success from the ones who actually build it. This episode is packed with real talk, real stories, and real strategies you can start using today. Whether you are thinking about joining a mastermind, starting one, or just trying to level up the rooms you are spending time in, Eric Berman gives you the roadmap.

Happy Hustle means to me that at the end of the day, I get to feel like I've made a difference and impact. I'm moving forward and growing towards things that the work I'm doing, I'm seeing progress. And ultimately, I get to see the smile on my family's faces for the hard work and knowing that I contributed to society and to the world and did what I could.
