In this episode, Ron and Daniel Apke explain why switching from wholesaling houses & land to land flipping is the smartest move for real estate investors. They break down the key differences between the two and highlight why wholesalers often make the best land investors. With fewer moving parts, better ROI, and faster results, land flipping beats wholesaling in nearly every way. Ron and Daniel discuss how wholesalers' grit and fast learning curve make them ideal for land investing. They also share how land flipping allows investors to start making money within the first 6 months, while wholesaling takes much longer to build momentum. Plus, they reveal how land investing has enabled them to start new businesses and create multiple income streams, giving them more time and freedom.

The Power of Perspective: Navigating Life's Challenges with a New Lens Life is full of twists and turns, whether you're steering a startup through turbulent waters or grappling with personal challenges that feel insurmountable. The key to navigating these tumultuous moments often lies in one crucial element: perspective. The Breakfast Epiphany: Startup Growth and Financial Decisions Imagine this: you're at breakfast, deep in conversation about the unpredictable journey of startup growth. Every sip of coffee seems to amplify the weight of significant financial decisions looming over you. The uncertainty is palpable, the risk is enormous, and you find yourself in what can only be described as a “tornado” of doubt and stress. It's moments like these that require more than just logical analysis; they demand a leap of faith and a reservoir of determination. Shifting the Lens: Overcoming Anxiety and Fear In these high-stakes situations, it's easy to get paralyzed by fear. But what if the solution lies not in changing the circumstances, but in shifting your perspective? By viewing challenges as opportunities for growth rather than insurmountable obstacles, you can transform anxiety into action and fear into focus. Life Lessons from the Open Road: Motorcycle Riding and Business For me, there's a fascinating parallel between motorcycle riding and business. Both require a keen sense of focus and a solid perspective to navigate effectively. On a motorcycle, the road ahead can be unpredictable, much like the journey of a business. But by keeping your eyes on where you want to go, rather than the obstacles in your path, you can steer yourself towards success. Embrace the Journey: Appreciate, Achieve, and Stay Curious At the heart of this narrative is a simple yet transformative message: appreciate your journey, recognize your achievements, and remain curious for future growth. Life's challenges are inevitable, but by shifting your perspective, you can turn these challenges into stepping stones towards greater success and fulfillment. So the next time you find yourself caught in a storm of doubt and stress, remember that the power to change your situation often lies within. Shift your perspective, take that leap of faith, and embrace the journey ahead. After all, it's not just about where you're going, but how you choose to get there.

Today's episode is very special for me, as we've just celebrated our 5 year business birthday! It's been a wild ride, but one of the absolute best things I've ever done. As I've been reflecting on all that I've learned so far, I thought I would share the 5 key lessons I've learned with you, so you have the best chance at success in your own business1. Who You Surround Yourself With MattersWe all hear this, and it can sound cliche - but I know firsthand how powerful surrounding yourself with the right people is. While it's crucial to create a support network of people who have a positive impact, it's also important to find the power in letting go or moving on when things aren't right.  I talk about how changing seasons call for a different level of support, and the importance of allowing ourselves to move on from the wrong people - swiftly and guilt-free.2. Know Your NumbersI get how hard this one can be, but trust me - knowing your numbers is a game-changer. I talk about the difference between revenue and profitability, and how busy doesn't mean profitable. Remember - getting comfortable with knowing the numbers can be the difference between surviving or thriving in business.3. Be Authentic in Your MessagingI don't know about you, but I find the noise on social media and all the messaging constantly coming at us to be exhausting. It took a lot of hard work for me to work out how to step back from that and tune into what was really authentic to me and my messaging. I explain how I learned to be anchored to my ‘why' and how fundamental it was for me to show up consistently as myself. My advice to you? Pause, take a step back, think about your authentic self and messaging, and stick to that.4. Embrace the Different Seasons in Business For so long, I thought I needed to be consistent all day, every day, week in and week out. But the reality wasn't that. The reality was that at times, I needed to hustle and other times, I needed a break. It took me a while to learn that there are seasons in business and it's okay that sometimes we're hustling and working hard because that's the season the business is in, but there are seasons when we need to step back from that pace and have things a little more relaxed.  It's more than okay to take our rest.5. Find Your NicheThis one is big. And I know it is, because I've experienced the power of niching firsthand. And yes, the idea of niching down can be scary, because we think it means saying no to work or shrinking our pie.However, speaking from my own experience, the opposite is true. When we hone in and focus on who we really want to serve, we might be saying no to people who aren't aligned with us, but will have many more people finding us who are.While there have been good times and bad, I've loved every minute of growing my business. I hope you take the lessons I share here as a guide to achieving authenticity and success on your own business journey.P.s. I reveal a little something special at the end of the episode around a new offering, so make sure you tune in to find out more!  LINKS:The Legally Empowered Entrepreneur Masterclass SeriesCheck Your Legals with the Essential Legal Checklist hereCheck out my Getting Paid Made Easy course hereWebsite:tmsolicitor.com.auInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/tmsolicitor/Book a Strategy Session with me here

Navigating the Business Buying Journey: Insights from Richard Parker on "The Deal Scout" PodcastAs the host of "The Deal Scout," I have the privilege of engaging with some of the most insightful minds in the world of business and entrepreneurship. In a recent episode, I sat down with Richard Parker, a seasoned business expert from South Florida, to unravel the complexities of buying businesses. Richard's wealth of knowledge left me, and I'm sure our listeners, with invaluable lessons on aligning business acquisitions with personal skills, the essence of joy and passion in entrepreneurship, and the geographical considerations in the business buying process.Matching Your Business with Your Best Skill SetOne of the most profound takeaways from my conversation with Richard was the emphasis on the importance of matching a business with your single best skill set. Richard articulated that this alignment should be the cornerstone of the revenue and profits of any business you consider purchasing. He encouraged listeners to view the business for sale market as a laboratory, a place to explore various business types and gather insights from sellers, competitive businesses, and industry contacts.Identifying Your Top SkillThe distinction between experience and expertise was a pivotal point in our discussion. Richard pointed out that years in an industry do not necessarily equate to expertise. He urged potential buyers to pinpoint their shining skill set and to seek transparent and honest feedback from colleagues and industry connections. This resonated with me deeply as I reflected on my own love for sales and people, recognizing that joy and passion, while important, are not the sole indicators of true expertise.The Role of Joy and Passion in EntrepreneurshipRichard and I agreed that joy and passion often accompany entrepreneurship, especially when applying your best skill set in the right business context. However, Richard was quick to highlight that these emotions can be overrated. The focus, he insisted, should be on identifying and leveraging your top skill set to build and grow a business successfully.Geographical Considerations in Business AcquisitionsThe geographical aspect of buying a business was another intriguing topic we delved into. Richard advised starting your search close to home, which allows for easier visits to businesses and interactions with sellers. Yet, he also advocated for an open mind regarding relocation, as it can significantly expand your search and the platform for potential business opportunities.Where to Find Resources for Buying a BusinessFor those eager to learn more about buying a business, Richard generously directed our listeners to his website, richardparker.com. There, you can find free articles and reports that demystify the process and assist individuals in determining if entrepreneurship through buying a business is the right path for them.https://richardparker.com/Next Steps Share your thoughts with a review - https://www.thedealscout.com/reviews/ Let's connect on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuabrucewilson/ Subscribe and Watch on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBQN_Y3nhDGClfMxCSBDjOg

Welcome to an episode of the Real World, friend. A show that I was definitely not allowed to watch when I was younger, unlike all of my friends (not bitter at all). All of this to say, a couple of weeks ago, I announced on Instagram something incredible that happened in the business, and it was a moment that made me feel extraordinarily proud and blessed. I signed with a speaking agency and officially became a represented public speaker.In this episode, I'm sharing the full story with you – and it all started at a mastermind where I learned to ask the right kind of questions - the questions that get results. I'm sharing this story NOT to brag… but to provide you with the exact framework for asking questions that  I learned so that you can apply it to your own business.  Click >>PLAY

Have you seen the reel going around asking - How's that Little Biz going? It's had me giggling but it's also inspired this week's topic: How to talk about your Business For some of you this is wildly uncomfortable, feels triggering and hard! But this matters. So if you can see right away that the way you're talking about your business isn't the way you'd like to be talking about it then this episode is for you! By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how you want to talk about it & how to release any triggering thoughts or feelings others try to throw your way. Let's do it!

The Dirty Little Secret of Business For years I've been telling coaching clients that the dirty little secret of business is that everything comes down to relationships. I know: It's not dirty. It's certainly not little. And I suppose it's not a secret--you know relationships are important. But the statistics about relationships are not encouraging and it's not just because of social distancing during COVID. Maybe it's just that we're busy. Or maybe it's that what we think we know about relationships is wrong. Eric Barker joins us again, this time to talk about his new book entitled Plays Well with Others: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Relationships Is (Mostly) Wrong. In this episode, Eric talks about why the fundamental core of relationships is the stories we tell ourselves. He explains why we stink at reading people--despite thinking we're awesome at it. Before we're done with this episode, you'll know what costly signals are and why it's important to know about Negative Sentiment Override. Eric will even share some insights on conflict, that can be applied in love relationships as well as at work. Learn more about Eric and his book at https://bakadesuyo.com/.

Getting a grant that will help boost your business or kick off a project that's dear to your heart is the most amazing feeling. And to be honest, it's a feeling that doesn't happen very often because the competition for receiving a grant is intense.Even the best ideas and best grant writers aren't often successful in getting a grant.But if you've never applied for a grant before, it's even harder. You may not know what's expected or even how to get started with your grant application.And because it can take A LOT of work to apply, you want to make sure that you're giving yourself every chance of succeeding in getting that grant.Today's guest on the OBL podcast is Sandy Blackburn, from Social Outcomes. She's an expert in researching, designing, costing, implementing, measuring and financing impact. And she has helped evaluate a lot of grant applications.And Sandy knows that the first step towards even having a chance at being successful is to understand whether what you do to help your customers is actually working. Whether it's successful in generating short and long-term success in terms of achieving the desired outcomes.In the interview, Sandy shares with us a key tool for measuring successful outcomes, the ToC or Theory of Change framework.The Theory of Change framework has been around for a long time (it used to be known as Program Logic), but not that many people know how to use it effectively … especially when needing to show that your business is making a difference (which you need to do in grant applications).In the interview we talked about:[1:53] What a Theory of Change is[3:03] How Sandy got started working with the whole Theory of Change concept[5:14] The logic behind Theory of Change[11:21 The novel idea that businesses should be measuring how successful they are at helping their customers achieve their desired outcomes[12:07] Things to think about before starting the grant application process[17:02] Where to start if you've never done a grant application before[19:52] Key steps in planning the grant application process[23:40] Figuring out how much money to ask for[25:17] Why you need to include a dollar amount for measuring your outcomes[27:06] The most common mistake grant applicants make and how to avoid it[29:35] How you can work with Sandy on a 1-to-1 basis to develop a Theory of Change for your businessFor more information about booking a Theory Of Change workshop for your business: https://onlinebusinessliftoff.com/ToC-workshop
