BRT Rebalance w/ Barry Ritholtz: Best of Investing 2022 - BRT S03 EP29 (128) 7-3-2022 Things We Learned This Week Masters of Business Podcast Qs - Who are your mentors? Philosophy? What books are you reading? Advice to graduates? What do you wish you knew 30 years ago? Three Keys to Being an Investor: Process, Behavior, Humility Recession Signs to look For – States Expanding or Detracting, Sahm Rule on unemployment uptick, Yield Curve – is it inverted? Guest: Barry Ritholtz ABOUT BARRY RITHOLTZ & MASTERS IN BUSINESS Bloomberg Opinion columnist Barry Ritholtz looks at the people and ideas that shape markets, investing and business. Barry Ritholtz has spent his career helping people spot their own investment errors and to learn how to better manage their own financial behaviors.

When not working, he can be found with his wife and their two dogs on the north shore of Long Island. https://www.bloomberg.com/podcasts/series/master-in-business https://ritholtzwealth.com/ NOTES: Masters of Business podcast inspiration – On a plane watching finance news, interview of reclusive Hedge Fund Manager. Who are your mentors? Philosophy? What books are you reading? Advice to graduates? What do you wish you knew 30 years ago? Three key things Process – ability to distinguish between skill and luck. Like in sports at high levels in investment industry – differences are minimal. ARK Cathy Wood in 2020. Behavior – how to manage and stay calm, control limbic system, work through bad market. Humility – acknowledge serendipity and luck in life, could have worked differently. Gates not the first to be offered IBM deal. Other tech entrepreneurs visited Xerox Parq Jobs master of design, even on back of machine where no one looks. Inflation Hawks screaming for 15 years, finally right Three signs of Recession – good indicators: States – amount in expansion or contraction . Number of states growing or declining - % all 50 expanding. Philly Federal – State Coincident Indexes (get ink) hard to have recession when all states doing well. Sahm Rule – unemployment uptick .75 basis points in three month period from prior lows, unemployment mid 2022 is good. FRED – St. Louis Fed monitors indicator (get ink) Yield Curve – is it inverted? How long, how deep, careful for false positive data. Bonds interest rates long term higher than short term bonds, inverted when S/T rates higher than L/T. Six months is forever in economy, recession looks unlikely. 2023 – all bets off. Never know what disruption can occur, like Russia invading Ukraine. Outlook for the Knicks to make the Playoffs? Knicks will be good when they get new ownership who invests in the product. Need good quantitative analysis like how they acquired players in the heyday of the 1990s. Look at the turnaround of the NY Mets with Steve Cohen buying the team recently.

If you're raising capital from investors, we've run into this issue in the past, I've run into this issue in the past where you set expectations, you send them an OM of what you're going to do for your syndication docs or whatever, hey, we're going to go out and find 10 deals and we're going to give you this return or whatever, then the market shifts and now returns are lower than now you're stuck, right? So you have to set investor expectations. Guys, you're jumping into this business. Storage is wonderful, but 10% return cash on cash, your one is probably not going to happen unless you find a needle in a haystack. A massive haystack. Right? So it's probably not going to happen.

Kris Bennett 00:54 Thanks, man. Appreciate you having me on. Sam Wilson 00:56 Hey, man, pleasure's mine. Same three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show: In 90 seconds or less, where do you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there? Kris Bennett 01:02 That is a great question, Sam. So I started in real estate in 2007. Right before the Great Recession, if anybody remembers that time, it was pretty rough. We thought we're all going to be rich. I was in my real estate licensing class and going to become a residential broker. And obviously, the world changed, over the next two years actually soured me on real estate. I was doing foreclosure work. So when people think about like banks and all that foreclosing on folks, well, how do they do that? Well, they contact agents and have them go evict people. And so that's what I was doing. And it was not fun whatsoever. I was single at the time, no family, had I had a family, had kids, I would have just cried my heart out every day. So that was really tough. Decided to go to school and get away from real estate as far as I could. Coincidentally, the only way the only job I could find my first summer in college was at a real estate investment firm, a private equity firm in Chapel Hill. And I had no idea what he was doing. But he hired me on to do some underwriting and whatnot. It opened my eyes to the fact that you can buy massive commercial real estate, he was doing apartments but the idea is you can raise capital to buy these large buildings and make money doing it and my eyes like bugged out, right? So one, I hadn't seen that many zeros before my life, and then another was that oh my gosh, this is how you do it. So the light bulb went on. To make a long story short, I graduated, worked at a family office in Raleigh, North Carolina doing multifamily acquisitions. We pivoted to storage arrays the storage fund on CrowdStreet, That fund is doing really well. They're I think on fund two or three at this point. So connected with passiveinvesting.com. About a year ago, I know one of the principals for a number of years before he got just got into real estate investing, and kept that relationship going. And that's where we are now, leading the storage arm of passiveinvesting.com. And did you ask where are we going with that as well? Or was that the answer to everything there? Sam Wilson 02:41 I don't know, man, that was great a summary. It went to a lot of places, but I love it. No, that's good. That's really, really interesting. So back up a little bit when you said CrowdStreet and just kind of define how you guys interface on that front. What was that story there? Kris Bennett 02:43 Okay, good. Yeah, sure. So what the firm I was with is called 10 Federal, if people want to look it up, it's called 10 Federal, 1-0 federal.com. When I started, there was their director of acquisitions, which is a fancy title for bird dog. So in other words, go find deals from brokers or owners. And so that's what I was doing mostly in the Carolinas, this is about 2016. So multifamily properties in the Carolinas, I made a bunch of phone calls, talk to a bunch of brokers, underwrite a bunch of properties, I was doing all of that work, and just couldn't make the numbers work on stuff. So just kind of summarizing here, we had a couple of deals in a contract that fell out, etc. So we decided to pivot to self-storage. And the reason being is that the guys I was working for had a little bit of experience within storage, and they were building some small facilities for themselves using SBA financing. And we can talk about what that is, if you want to, but SBA financing. It's a small, meaning 15,000 square feet or less, so think maybe 150 to 200 units or less. That is small in self-storage. And since they had that experience, great. Okay, so we know how to do it right financing and whatnot, and kind of like what to look for when we need to raise capital. Okay, well, we're not that good at that. So let's go ahead and partner up with CrowdStreet. And this is again, 2016-2017. So 2017, really for the storage fund. And so we were able to do so, put together the offering memorandum and all the organizational docs behind it all and basically put it on CrowdStreet on their website and raise capital through that platform. And I'm sure their terms and conditions and whatnot have changed. But obviously you paid him some money, just pay this money to be able to do that-- almost knocked over my tea here. And it was successful. So the goal was to raise about 10 million bucks, I think we raised pretty darn close to that for our very first fund put out, you know, that was put out there for the public to see, and criticize, and invest with, and get on board with so that was a lot of fun. That was a successful raise and deployment of that capital. Sam Wilson 04:42 How many deals did you guys do before you launched with CrowdSreet? Kris Bennett 04:46 Oh, man, within the firm at 10 Federal at the time, between apartments and storage, man, I can't remember, maybe 10 to 15 something like that. Maybe I'm overcounting that, I can't remember exactly. And so that was all, like mostly with five real five or six close investors who obviously were repeat investors who would take down those deals with us. Sam Wilson 05:09 So was the approximate, I'm getting to something here. What were the approximate assets under management at that point? You know, when you guys went to CrowdStreet? Kris Bennett 05:16 I think it was, so we had apartments, mostly, I want to say the total value was maybe two to 300 million. Okay. I can't remember, so the larger.... Sam Wilson 05:26 The reason I asked that is just because it's people think about that, as I think about, you know, the thrust of the show is how to scale. And I think about maybe at some point in the future, maybe I'd like to partner with a CrowdStreet, a realty mogul. No more of that. Yeah. Yeah. Where do you have to be in order to do that? And obviously, you have a significant track record, two or $300 million in assets under management, not a small amount of real estate to own. So just as people hear that, and go, Oh, hey, that'd be cool someday, that gives them kind of a marker as to where you need to be. Kris Bennett 05:53 Yeah, yeah, exactly. Sam Wilson 05:55 What were some of the things that you liked and didn't like about partnering with CrowdStreet? And again, I'm going somewhere with this. Kris Bennett 06:01 Oh, sure. They were actually, really so if I... So that was 2017. So that's about five years ago. So they have new people in place, and all this stuff, and new processes and new vetting procedures and everything. So people have to realize that as well. So I'm talking a little bit half a decade ago about what we're doing. So at the time, I think the pricing was a little bit steep. And people have to realize that how they had it structured at that time, they had what they call investor rooms, and whatnot. And so basically, each investor that comes in through your portal, they will go to a website, essentially set up for them that gave him all the statistics and capabilities to invest and vet the deal and all that kind of stuff. And that would cost you money based upon the number of investors. There was an upfront fee to get started, you know, there's a number of things. So it is expensive. And now what I'd say be one of the downsides or cons to it.. The great, the upside was they were great to work with, very easy to work with. They kind of held your hand through the process, You send them, you know, financials and your underwriting and all these other things. So they're kind of looking over your shoulder to make sure that, hey, you're not fudging the numbers here or something like that. And that you're not making a mistake, obviously, within your projections, because they have to put it out there. But they help you kind of make it look professional, and good and presentation worthy to their investors. So again, it was a long time ago, their logo and colors have changed back then it was like red and something else. So it's been a while. But it's a bit pricey. But I think if you're trying to raise capital from the general public without registering your securities, it's a great way to do it, and kind of offload some of that work to someone else. Sam Wilson 07:28 Right. And I don't think any of those things that you've just said have changed too terribly much, just on the cost of capital side of things. Kris Bennett 07:36 Yeah. Sam Wilson 07:36 It's more expensive capital to get a hold of, but again, like you said, you get to offload some of that administrative burden and bring... Kris Bennett 07:43 Absolutely, yeah. Sam Wilson 07:45 So that's fantastic. I love that. You know, we bring, we've had several people come on the show, obviously, you know, 500 something episodes, and talk about self-storage. And we always hear about the pros of self-storage. What do you think are some of the cons of being in self-storage? Kris Bennett 07:59 Oh, right now, the biggest one is the amount of competition to purchase deals, and the high prices and low cap rates as a result. So people, they look at the high level, the way they like the pros, like you said, and we could talk about that, or whatever. But you know, all and storage is great. Let's get into it. And you have coaches and people out there that people can, you know, pay to help them find deals, and you can follow different podcasts, et cetera, to help you figure out how to find a deal and close on a deal, which is all great. That's all the mechanics of it. But you don't realize that, bro, these are expensive assets. This is not like picking up bird nests off the ground or something like that. Right? This is very difficult to do. And I don't think people realize that is one of the cons. There's so much capital piling into self-storage. Right now, the misconception is that oh, as interest rates go up, prices will come down. Mathematically yes, that should be the case. But because there's so much demand and so much capital out there that's flowing into self-storage, prices are staying high, they're not coming down just yet. We might see it come down later this year, depends on really where interest rates go. But right now that's not the case. Another con is the fragmented ownership and the mom and pop type ownership is great. But mom and pops, if you're looking for smaller deals, which I've done that in the past, if you're looking for smaller deals, when I say small, I'm saying maybe 20,000 square feet plus or minus somewhere in there, then they don't have good record keeping. They're sometimes difficult to deal with. When they send you, I've done deals with a guy literally sent a photo of a unit mix that he drew by hand because he didn't have records to send me the unit mix. Right? So you have to be ready to deal with that kind of stuff. And when you go to if you're using the bank for financing, the bank is going to want to see some sort of financial history there. Sometimes mom and pops keep all their businesses commingled into one P&L, and you got to figure out what the heck is that he's got a car business, a storage business, and he's got some single-family rentals. And it all comes into here and he's telling me it's this but I can't think... So you're gonna be scratching your head with those kinds of deals. If you go to institutional, larger deals. You don't have that problem but smaller deals, you could run into that problem. The other side of it is because the pro is it's an inflation hedge. I'm sure some people have heard that now rates are going up. So you can raise your rental rates/ Well, you can, but let's say you raise your rental rates on all your tenants 10 bucks every month. Someone's gonna get mad and move out, you're gonna make... You can't just raise rates, like every month, that's not, it doesn't work that way. Maybe once every six months? Yeah. Once every month? No, that doesn't work that way. Conversely, or the opposite of that is when rates come down, you're susceptible to that as well. So if the market is lowering rates for 10 by 10s, you know, within a three-mile radius of your facility, you are either you're going to be the highest because you're the best, you know, Class A really nice facility, you can kind of lead the market. But if you're not that, then you're probably in a race to the bottom right. So that's something that you have to think about. If you're battling REITs and whatnot, it can become a race to the bottom, where they're now renting a 10 by 10, for 50 bucks. And if you do the same thing, you're gonna go broke, you know, so there's things to think about the reverse of the pros are sometimes can also be cons. Sam Wilson 10:56 Right. And I like that thanks for taking the time to break down some of the barriers or the obstacles in the industry. But I think also inside of those obstacles, that's what creates opportunity. Yeah. You mean, you guys have found a way to kind of work around all of those moving pieces and say, Okay, we still see opportunity, here are some things to be certainly aware of. Kris Bennett 11:15 You have to set up investor expectations. If you're raising capital from investors, we've run into this issue in the past, I've run into this issue in the past where you set expectations, you send them an OM of what you're going to do for your syndication docs or whatever, hey, we're going to go out and find 10 deals and we're going to give you this return or whatever, then the market shifts and now returns are lower than now you're stuck, right? So you have to set investor expectations. Guys, you're jumping into this business. Storage is wonderful, but 10% return cash on cash, your one is probably not going to happen unless you find a needle in a haystack. A massive haystack. Right? So it's probably not going to happen. So you have to set those expectations and where we're at in the market right now. This is a tough business to be in. But there are opportunities, and there's reasons why so much capital is jumping into self-storage, There's got to be a little discipline in what you're going after. Sam Wilson 12:02 When you set those expectations for investors, I don't care how you set it, if you say hey, look, you know, like you said, it's a tough business, you know, you're not gonna get a 10% cash on cash return. How do you attract capital? Kris Bennett 12:12 Well, where else are you gonna go? So investors need to look at the universe of investments, right? If they like the stock market, they like bonds, they like whatever, and I'm not negative on any of that stuff. A lot of real estate investors, Oh, don't put your mind stop. No, no, I think people can make a lot of money in the stock market. So if you'd like stocks you'd like, whatever, that's fine. If you're looking at real estate, okay, what's the investable universe of real estate, you have multifamily, retail, office, industrial, etc. Okay, well, we're all the returns there for the risk that I'm taking on? Risk and return. Not just both, if it's high return, there's got to be high risk somewhere, even if it's not immediately disclosed or fully understood. Okay. So if you will go back and look at REIT returns over the last 20 years, you can find that data on REIT.com. And download it, anybody can do that. And you can see returns for publicly-traded REITs all the different sectors, data centers, multifamily, etc. And you can compare year over year and kind of do an analysis, self-storage has one of the best returns of all property types. So what does that mean? Higher returns at some point will push more investors into that asset class driving down returns because there is less risk. That's why bonds return so little because there's very little risk associated with bonds, whereas cryptocurrency has a very high potential return, but very high risk and a lot of volatility and swings in the market. So if investors are educated on their own, I'm not saying they're not dumb or whatever, but I'm saying if they educate themselves on all of those options, the investable universe of what I can't invest in, and what real estate looks like, what's the risk-return tradeoff, then they will understand okay, storage is a great bet. Sam Wilson 13:45 Love it. Absolutely love it. Kris, what is something you are curious about right now? Kris Bennett 13:50 How to find more deals really right now. So while I'm working on that, we're doing a couple of things a source off-market deals, working with a couple of brokers to do that for us. And then I picked up a book I'm reading through so I can't recommend it yet. But it's actually been very good so far on helping me understand, you know, what I should do as far as just staying in front of people networking and those sorts of things. So that's what I'm trying to work on at this moment. Sam Wilson 14:12 Got it, and that was my next question for you. What do you read now? So if you have another book that you want to recommend that you might have been reading or just finished reading. Kris Bennett 14:20 Yeah, I finished Stephen Schwarzman's book, I have it over there, "What It Takes." I listened to audiobooks and so that was a really good one. I actually liked his story and the tips he gives at the very end. I think one of them always stands out to me is to, I'm just summarizing here, but to basically dream big dreams, set big goals, those are the things you should go after. And I really liked Gary Keller as well. "The One Thing" and "The Millionaire Real Estate [Agent]," those are great books. He focuses more on single-family there or just units of multifamily and that kind of thing, but the concept is still the same. And I really like Gary Keller's stuff. So those two things go together, set big goals, because those are the things worth going after, so. Sam Wilson 14:58 Love it. Kris, if our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about you, what is the best way to do that? Kris Bennett 15:02 They can find me on LinkedIn. Just search Kris. Kris with a K.

Congrats on your new career! Here are three tips to help you succeed. Congratulations—you've joined the real estate industry, and whether you realize it or not, you're now a business owner. Welcome to entrepreneurship! Now, your success is all on you. Having been in this business for over 21 years now, I've learned a lot. It took me a long time to get into the swing of things, so today I'd like to share some of the insights I've gained throughout my career that will help you do well in this business from the very start. First, in order to build up your business, you need to form a business plan. I highly recommend that you read “The Millionaire Real Estate Agent” by Gary Keller, Dave Jenks, and Jay Papasan. The methods for forming a winning business plan as spelled out in this book are tried and true. Our own business here in Tulsa has achieved “millionaire real estate” status, and it's all because we followed the models and systems described in the text. The book will also teach you what kind of mindset makes for a millionaire real estate agent, as well as the myths that pervade the market and how you can overcome them. The next step in figuring out your business (at least for me) is to set up your database. To even have a real estate business, you need to have people to help, so create a list of all the people you know (and some you don't) in a place where you can continue to nurture and follow up with them. That will help generate leads and referrals for your business. If you're unable to pick up the phone or connect with people, you're probably not going to be very successful in this industry. To store, organize, and manage your database, you need a customer relationship management system (CRM). It can remind you when you need to follow up with clients or reach out to them, as well as other tasks related to your database. Now matter how smart you are, over time, you'll start to forget things, so having a CRM is essential. “Our own business has achieved “millionaire real estate” status, and it's all because we followed the models and systems described in Gary Keller's book.” Finally, you have to create a budget to go along with your business. The reality in this business is that we're not paid until closing day, which means you're going to be working for free for a while during your training periods. That means you might need to reach out to someone to help pitch in for the household expenses that you may not be able to pay for now. Financial hardship is one of the reasons that so many agents leave the business. For my part, I was so far behind with spending my personal money that by the time I got my first commission check, I had to pay off my own debts. Don't be like me—plan ahead so that you can pay yourself for the work you're doing, and save the rest of the money so you can put it back into your business. Similarly, don't forget to anticipate paying your taxes! In the end, I want you to have become a rockstar agent with a successful career in real estate. If you have any questions or would like more tips to help make sure that you have a business plan, a working database, and a budget that will allow you to succeed, don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'd love to help you get your business up and running.

It's often easy to stop our busy living, to daydream about the life we truly want to live, and get lost in the fantasies we have in our mind. But taking the STEPS to making that happen is a challenge? Just THINKING about the steps we will need to take can be pretty scary. The difference between wishing and doing is big! How do we work past the fear of stepping out into the world and getting what we truly want in life? In this episode of SEEKER, Dave Jenks gets into this important personal issue with some very insightful tips to getting what you want!
We've all dealt with it. Some of us really struggle with it. A few of us are at a professional level with it. Procrastination. What's up with this, anyway? WHY do we do it? It just doesn't make sense. Is there something deep down that keeps us from doing what we know we have to do? Can we learn to do it less, maybe even escape its ugly grip? On this week's WarriorTalk podcast, Dave Jenks explores the whole world of procrastination, the reasons behind it and his experience with overcoming it. You'll enjoy his take. He told us that he'd have done it sooner, but, you know, things got in the way!!! DON'T YOU PUT OFF LISTENING TO THIS.
A study in 2004 said that more than two-thirds of American families have been touched by addiction — either with alcohol or drugs. Addiction comes in many different forms and is unique to each person. But when you get down to the details, much of it is the same: habits that can be dangerous and harm someone's life. Dave Jenks knows this personally. In 1999, he stood up in front of a group of people and said “I'm Dave, and I'm an alcoholic.” From that moment, Dave went through a transformation. A transformation that helped to get his life back on track. A transformation that he shares in this edition of WarriorTalk; one of the most heartfelt and honest discussions we've ever had. If you suffer from an addiction or know someone that does, we created this for you.
Do you ever notice that people use “three” often when trying to come up with points or describe something? “What are the three things you remember from that speech?” “Ever notice things happen in threes?” Is there something behind that? And more importantly, is this something you can harness and use to help you with your business? Dave Jenks discusses “The Power of Three” in our latest WarriorTalk podcast.
Death. Just the word brings up a mix of emotions. Yet we're all headed there. Someday, our loved ones will have to deal with our passing. Instead of fighting the emotions and feelings of thinking of our end, what if we turned them around and used them for good? What if we used that energy to prepare ourselves, our family and people around us so THEY have it easier? What if we had a real conversation about our end of life care and what happens to us when we pass? Dave Jenks dives right into this emotional topic in this week's SEEKER.
Every single year, the cost of healthcare continues to grow, and at an alarming rate. Healthcare is a huge part of our nation's economy, getting near 20%. How does a SEEKER look at such a complex topic? Is it just about the money? What about quality of care? What IS driving the costs up? What can be done about it? When it's all said and done, what is our personal responsibility for healthcare, ours and the nation's? How can WE make changes that will help solve the governmental, economic and social issues? As a SEEKER, Dave Jenks has given this topic extensive research and come to some very interesting insights!
We are more interconnected than we've ever been. There are more opportunities and ways to meet people than at any other time in history. Yet, making a genuine, deep connection with someone, whether it's for business or for personal reasons, can be real challenge. It seems there is an internal battle many of us encounter about what we show the world of ourselves – how we present self to others. There can be some inner negative talk that holds us back from showing who we really are. We know that there is a genuine inner-self. Deep down, we know who we truly are. THAT is what we want to show and express to others. But how do we do that? How do we express to the world the person we truly are? How do we do it in an authentic way? How do we connect fully with others? Dave Jenks really understands this. He has studied it and lived it. In this edition of SEEKER, he shares his insights and gives us great guidance about it.
Over the last few weeks, we've been focused on topics that Dave Jenks has used his SEEKER instincts to explore, study and learn. But the world is not fixed and finite. There's so much to explore and learn, and it feels like we've just scratched the service. In this edition of SEEKER, Dave reflects on what lies ahead for his interests and explorations. What is out there that we don't know yet understand? What does the future hold: bio-engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, and technology. What about human society and our relationship with each other? What about our spiritual journey? Where will all of this take us? Dave leaves with one important question to ask ourselves in order to undertake our own SEEKER journey. Take a listen below!
Every new year, we hear people say the same thing: “This is the year I take control of my health and body! I'm going to do it right!” We may have even said this ourselves. We start strong, reduce our eating and begin regular exercise. Soon, we are feeling better – leaner, stronger and in good shape. But then what happens? Slowly, we return to our old habits and we end up back to where we were. Now, we're feeling guilty for “not staying with our plan.” How does this happen? Is there something we are missing. Is there something we are not discussing. Are there forces that are keeping us on this unhealthy and discouraging path? In this edition of SEEKER, Dave Jenks talks about the science behind healthy living, why it's actually easy to understand, and how the tools of a SEEKER can help us trust our body and keep ourselves in consistently good health. Listen, take charge and live well!
Every single person on this planet experiences fear. It's natural. Many people are frustrated and limited by fear. But, did you know fear can be a GOOD thing? Dave Jenks believes that embracing fear is a great way to live your life. And, that there are ways to use it to your advantage. How? Take a listen to this edition of WarriorTalk and find out.
One thing you will notice in Dave Jenks's new audio book, Free Enterprise Warriors: The Path of Courageous Entrepreneurs, is his passion for a free enterprise, free market, freedom of choice society. His belief in this way of life goes back to the American founding fathers and is deeply expressed in everything he teaches. In this podcast he asks us to consider a very serious question: is our traditional American way of life in trouble? Is our freedom being eroded and diminished in the name of social welfare, personal entitlement and governmental regulation? What can you and I, as entrepreneurs, do to keep freedom alive? Dave offers his provocative thoughts and suggestions in this Warrior Talk podcast.
Not long ago, we stumbled upon a blog post by Jonathan Fields called “Embrace the Thrash.” In it, Jonathan discusses the stressful challenges of building anything new. We loved it, especially the word “thrash.” It really describes what almost everyone encounters when starting something from scratch. It's hard to describe, but you feel it and you know it's for real. In this new podcast, Dave Jenks discusses this “thrash” post and what he has done to help get through tension-filled times. He shares the mindset and the pragmatic techniques that minimize the stress and maximize the success. In the end, he shares the four classic books that have guided him and why they are so helpful.

No matter where we turn, there is constant political talk. Even more now, in an election year. As entrepreneurs, it is a challenge to keep up with all the chatter. At some point, it feels like a distraction from our work and we tune it out. But more than ever, this year's election is important to us as business owners and entrepreneurs. It's not the old “it's just politics” mantra anymore. Our self interest and our business future requires us to stay informed. If we aren't, the anti-business forces will have their way. Dave Jenks shares his side of the story and how we, as business owners, can stay on top of our leadership game and truly be a player in this year's election. And, beyond!!!

The question “What makes a great business stand out from a good business?” gets asked and debated often. Everyone has a different opinion. But many times, the answer is quite simple. Great businesses have something that's powerful, motivational and lasting: it's called a CULTURE.

In the sub title of The Millionaire Real Estate Agent, the book our own Dave Jenks co-authored, they say “It's not about the money.” But is that always true? Recently, Dave was heard saying the OPPOSITE of this statement. So, which is it Dave? Tell us what you really believe! So he did – in this session of Warrior Talk. You may be surprised by his answers. Here's a hint: he says that many people don't understand the money side of business. Sometimes, they even say that “the money doesn't really matter to me.” But, Dave shows us why it ALWAYS matters; even when it's NOT your purpose or the primary mission of your business. This is also true for not-for-profit ventures. In the brief few minutes of this podcast, you will come to a deeper understanding of why “it is always about the money.” And, how to make that truth work for you.
Dave Jenks is a successful entrepreneur, and co-author of the National Best Seller, The Millionaire Real Estate Agent. Dave told us he never started out thinking he would be an entrepreneur. His mentors and coaches had a significant impact on changing this thinking. They told him to learn everything you can from where you are at, at the time. Another powerful question to ask yourself is, What can I learn from this, no matter what this is? When it comes to success, mindset is crucial. The unplanned life is not worth living, according to one of Dave's early mentors. You need to ascertain what you want in every environment you are in. Selling is a profession and a fundamental process based upon communications. In studying Dale Carnegie's works of How to Win Friends and Influence People and Stop Worrying and Start Living, Dave got clarity on the 1st of three Success Fundamentals, Human Relations. Human relations and the ability to relate to others was key in any endeavor. The second fundamental was public speaking. Standing up and speaking your mind whether for profession or belief was a critical piece to his success. Writing was his third fundamental key to success. Everyone can learn writing skills and the ability to write and create is so important. You never know where opportunities will show up. Every time you see an opportunity to learn a new skill, take it on. Happiness is not a result of being successful, it is the cause of being successful. Don't wait for happiness, instead seek it out. This comes from the book, Feeling Good by Dr. David Burnes. Success is a momentum issue of your energy, attitude, and productivity. Keep in mind momentum can go either way. Written goals are another key to success. Less than 8% of people have written goals and are generally the ones who achieve goals at a high level. Learn the process of setting goals. Life is not without sets backs and challenges. Write your own story full of courage and insight. Do things when you are not confident, just go do it! Advice for entrepreneurs today, expand your bandwidth. What new skills and knowledge can we learn today to have success tomorrow? It is also about self-mastery of our own emotions and feelings during adversity. Believe in yourself and in your purpose. Do it with love and optimism. Use every opportunity to expand.
