Podcast appearances and mentions of diana house

Inspired by a simple question from my friend Diana House, I introduce you to the concept of "Defend Your Portfolio"   If you ever feel like you're juggling too many balls in your business and personal life - it's time for a reality check.    This eye-opening, powerful technique has been transforming my approach to decision-making and life management.   You'll love this and it will revolutionize how you evaluate every aspect of your life and business.

Welcome back to Making Bank. In today's episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Joe Fier and Matt Wolfer, Diana House, Todd Brown, Francis Wolff, Jeremy Parker, Chad Keller and Dave Mckeown, and in this episode you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success.   (3:00) Joe Fier And Matt Wolfe Hiring people is good for expanding your business and increasing productivity but when you bring people in, a smaller share will go into your pocket. You will have to share your profit with others. Your profit will not be as much as when you did it alone.    (7:18) Diana House Giving feedback isn't a challenging thing. The problem is giving productive feedback. You need to figure out how to give feedback in a productive way where you maintain positivity but you also remember to put necessary constructive feedback that will help in growth and maturity.    (12:54) Todd Brown You have to be a student of the market before you are a student of a product or even your product. You have to pay attention to what is selling well and figure out how it is being positioned and presented to the market. This way you will know how to make the sale of your product a success.   (21:53) Francis Wolff Having a clear strategy is important when doing business. Once you have a working strategy, then it is just a matter of how the market responds to that strategy. This way you can then kind of pick the winning strategy and just focus on what is already working for you.   (26:53) Jeremy Parker You need to learn as much as possible about who today's buyers are. You need to have hundreds if not thousands of conversations with top managers, HR managers, marketing team, sales team, and all the relevant people who deal directly with your organization so that you can figure out who your first customers are.  (31:26) Chad Keller Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do because that is how it will be when you first start your business. This will then teach you what you love to do and what you don't like to do. It is the best kind of hands-on experience you can hope to get that will get you ready for your next one.    (35:48) Dave Mckeown One of the biggest difficulties you will have in business is struggling to go from a culture of saying yes and then figuring out how to deliver it. Sometimes you may say yes but you will find that it is very hard to get it to a culture of ongoing, sustained, and ultimately scalable success.   Tags: @joefier  @mattrwolfe  @diana_house_  @toddbrown  @franciswolff  @chad.w.keller  @davemckeown1

Welcome back to Making Bank. On today's episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Liz Benny, Sally Hogshead, Shannon Miles, Lisa Sasevich, Bonnie Fahy, Diana House and Marisa Murgatroyd and in this episode you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success.   (2:21) Liz Benny Learn to get to know who you are as a person. Turn your curses into something that you can profit from. Understand where your strengths lie and where your weaknesses are. Learn to allow yourself some help in areas you are not good at. Give the job to someone who is good in the field and have an accountability partner who is going to check up on you at all times.   (6:32) Sally Hogshead High performers deliver a very specific benefit. Some may be detail oriented and they will hone in on details and they will look for clients and projects so they can overdeliver in details. Most people have this misconception that entrepreneurs are geniuses or prodigies but truth be told, it's just that they are very detail oriented, hard working and they go the extra mile to do something and that is what separates them from most.    (9:40) Shannon Miles Working from home has been proven to be the new norm. However, it brings its own set of challenges. When you work from home, you have to be strict with your schedules. You need to track down your hours of work. You need to communicate and be able to keep progress up regardless of working from the comfort of your home. It becomes even more important to know the productivity of your employees.   (11:17) Lisa Sasevich Inspire your client to make a decision. Whatever that is that you do, make sure you have a good sales conversion machine. If you don't have a system to offer that difference, you are doing all the hard work for no reason. You won't see any rewards. Reverse engineer to lead to your offer and always make sure it is an irresistible offer that your clients cannot say no to.   (14:45) Bonnie Fahy The bottom line is if you outsource the wrong thing in your business you will not make any money. There is no use in doing something that does not lead anywhere. Have a little software that asks what you are doing every minute. How are you spending your time, daily? Learn to identify what are the things in your business that are helping you make more money. Those are the things you do not want to outsource. If you say yes to everything it will overwhelm you and eventually lead to burnout.   (20:27) Diana House If you want to be a lifetime entrepreneur you need to master the language of finance. You have to really be on top of all your finances. Finance is the language of entrepreneurship and you need to learn how to master it. Many people spend so much time trying to find new and innovative ways to improve their business and then they leave their finances to the bare minimum. This is the wrong way to live an entrepreneurial life.    (24:43) Marisa Murgatroyd Many people spend years of their lives empowering others with the promise of a steady check. Which is not a bad thing however if you are going to spend your life doing this, why not spend an extra hour or so thinking about what you can do yourself where people can pay you for your services. So it becomes utterly important to learn to identify your strengths and what you can offer people. Then start your own business. Take the leap of faith and work hard on it.   Links: @lizbenny  @sallyhogshead  @bryanandshannon  @lisasasevich  @bonniefahy  @diana_house_  @liveyourmessage

And I'm always thinking like, who was the person that I can call? That can give me some insight, but I never just rely on that one person. I then ask a few other people who I think may have differing opinions and see kind of what the truth is. Where Does everyone agree?” “Always look for Win Win situations. And so it's knowing that there's not one way to do a deal.” “I feel like out of all the different businesses, I could do Real Estate, I think it is definitely the most fun and adventurous.  “I am constantly looking for how to create more less risk? Why do I cover myself? How do I get more security in every kind of position. I'm always kind of a little bit uneasy, but I think that's actually good.” “I think it will definitely start somewhere. I think, definitely be cautious. Look at what can go wrong. Use a lawyer. But don't just rely on the lawyer, ask your lawyer questions and really kind of push your lawyer. So I mean, I have a team of lawyers  and I'm constantly digging in.” “Most people in real estate do not have a ton of cash lying around anymore because they're leveraged, you know, if you have some cash, but you don't know what you're doing in the real estate space is like find those people that look like they know what they're doing, audit them, have them break down and show you what they're actually doing, what the numbers actually are.”  Resources: F.I.R.E F.I.R.E.

Diana is an authenticity driven entrepreneur who is constantly seeking, creating, developing, growing and learning. She is passionate about business, personal development, wellness, travel, spirituality, productivity and maximizing her time and life to live exceptionally across all facets: faith, relationships, business and health. Her sensitivity coupled with her entrepreneurial mindset allows her to see opportunities through a unique lense leading to an overflow of ideas, reiterations and progress led execution. Being very unsure of her career path in her youth, she became even more unclear after completing law school. Pushed to find her passions she started her first company Tiny Devotions Inc. after taking a sabbatical in Bali post-graduating. Being keen to identify niches – Diana literally started an industry with her company selling mala beads and intentional accessories. Now with hundreds of competitors, Tiny Devotions founded in 2009 is still the innovative leader in the space. After dabbling with many other small ventures including angel investing and business coaching, Diana started Cole + Parker with her now Husband Jeff House. Cole + Parker is a social enterprise and luxury sock company that creates bold, colourful socks for leaders, legends and entrepreneurs. Jeff and Diana have recently sold the company. After marrying Jeff their union also led Diana to be involved in many facets of real estate including multiple development projects, an asset management portfolio as well as assisting with complex real estate transactions. Her real estate experience coupled with her entrepreneurial success led her to seek out private financing lending deals which is now one of her current focuses. Last but not least, Diana is extremely passionate about startups and entrepreneurial ventures of all sorts. She has been part of the Canadian Tech Accelerator for Cole + Parker and is always actively seeking out unique and high potential angel investing deals.

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by Maggie Berghoff. Maggie is a functional medicine nurse practitioner and health consultant who works with celebrities, entertainers, athletes, and CEOs/executives to up-level their physical and mental health. She has been featured in Entrepreneur, Well + Good, Under Armour, CBS, Glamour, iheartradio, 4 popular health documentaries, and national television. I also found out that Maggie is a partner with Richard Branson's Virgin group, and that they have all kinds of cool MasterMinds that they lead together. It turns out, that we also have a lot of friends in common like Dave Asprey, JJ Virgin, and Diana House. Now, in this episode, we talked about all things high performance. I got a better understanding of what it actually looks like to be at the most elite levels of performance, and some insights at what it takes to get there. During the episode, we talked about comprehensive testing and about all kinds of really cool biohacks - as I said, we are both friends of Dave Asprey. I definitely learned some things that I didn't know, and I have some homework for things to research and buy after this conversation. I think you are really going to enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Maggie Berghoff as much as I did! -Jonathan Levi

Greetings, SuperFriends! This was an amazing episode. You see, a few months ago I was introduced to the idea of the FIRE movement by one of my former professors at Insead, and I found it such an amazing movement and idea. Financially Independent, Retired Early is a movement of people that are obsessed with finding out smarter ways to live and invest, so that they don't have to worry about money - which means that they can do whatever they want with the rest of their lives, whether that is being with family, volunteering, or running a business. So, I talked to our past podcast guest Diana House, and I asked her about who do I want to talk to in the personal finance space that is a rockstar -  and that's how I was introduced to today's guest. His name is Michael Rosehart. Michael is a 26-year-old early retired, self-made millionaire, with a young family, who unlocked financial independence at the age of 24 through Real Estate investing and extreme frugality. In fact, he bought his first property at the age of 19 (in 2012), while still in university studying business finance, and scaled up to build a 15 property portfolio in 2017 that cash-flowed over $12,000/month (net) in London, Ontario, Canada. Now, here's the interesting thing. Mike did not come into the world with a silver spoon in his mouth. In fact, he was raised by a single parent, he was at the poverty line in his home country (Canada), and he had to work and grind to make all this happen for him. How does someone go from being at the poverty line to being a multi-millionaire in just a few short years? Well in this episode we are going to learn about that, but more importantly, we are going to learn why Mike did all that, what does Mike work on, and why is he so invested in giving back. And here's what I think is so cool about this episode and about Mike. He doesn't have anything to sell you - in fact, he doesn't care if he doesn't make a dollar off of you. He is able to do the things that he is passionate about, like come on the podcast and share his wisdom out of his own kindness, just because he is set for life. I think that is so cool, and I wonder what the world would look like if more people could just do what they wanted, giving back to others, doing things of kindness, or just learning and improving and growing the world, just because they didn't have to worry about money. Now, of course, I pitched Mike to create a course for all of you just because he has so much knowledge to offer! In the meantime, I have to say that I really enjoyed this episode, and I know you guys are really going to enjoy it as well. -Jonathan Levi

Greetings, SuperFriends! Today we are joined by Diana House. Diana is a business finance expert, a serial entrepreneur that has sold 2 e-commerce companies, a private lender, and a real estate investor. She also loves the challenge of becoming SuperHuman through adventures in diet, exercise, mindset, faith, goal setting, and personal development. I know that business finance is not a topic that we often talk about in the show, but I actually had a call with Diana as a coach, and I found her very interesting - in fact, she had such an interesting way of looking at life, the world, personal finance, goal setting, and growth, that I just had to have her on the show. Diana has probably done the most investment in herself and in improving herself out of literally anybody that I know, and you know that I always love to meet those kinds of people and hear what the best things that they've done are, what the best investments they have made are, and what are the best mindset changes they have gone through. So we had a really great episode, we had no shortage of things to talk about, as happens every single time with Diana, and I think you folks are really going to enjoy it. We talk about the best things that she has ever done for herself, we talk about a lot of different ways that you can become financially SuperHuman and change your mindset not just about who you are and what you are worth, but also about money and how you use it in your life to create health, happiness, and success. Enjoy! -Jonathan Levi

Diana shares her motivations for becoming an entrepreneur and talks about why entrepreneurs need to focus on their bottom-line profit rather than their top-line revenue. We discuss why even successful entrepreneurs are often hesitant to look at their numbers and why you have to get out of this mindset. And, we share some of the key practices you can implement to ensure you're building a business that's truly profitable - not just making money (yes, there's a difference!).

Diana House is a lawyer turned award winning serial entrepreneur, and after selling her two e-commerce businesses, she’s transitioning to a new business forcing her to get out of her comfort zone and build a compelling personal brand. Diana, also a real estate investor and private lender, now teaches entrepreneurs about money and finance so they can grow businesses profitably, and today we talk about personal branding for introverts plus how to take more risks and “chase down your zone of genius”.

Diana House is a lawyer turned serial entrepreneur who is obsessed with empowering entrepreneurs around their business finances. She has been featured as one of the top female entrepreneurs in Canada by the w100 and also recognized as a top 20 under 40 entrepreneur by Business London. Diana has built a highly profitable 7 figure company, been on Dragon's Den (the Canadian version of Shark Tank), done a successful crowdsourcing campaign and sold two businesses in the e-commerce space. She now works with her fellow entrepreneur husband on Fast Forward Ventures a company focussed on private financing and commercial real estate investing. Diana currently consults 1-on-1 with entrepreneurs on their business’ finances and is writing "the" book and course on entrepreneur finance "by an entrepreneur." What do you think has contributed to your success? Diana would like to say it was talent but admits it was grind. She is not one of those people that think you need to grind your whole life and work 60-80 hours a week. But she got to where she is today through hard work and determination. When her companies were in start-up mode she worked her butt off. There are certain seasons where you need to have laser focus and, determination and do whatever it takes. So let’s talk about your first business and the grind there. What did that really look like when you were first starting out? After applying for creative roles and not getting a single interview Diana was struggling. This was her time to get out there and start adding value to the world, but no-one wanted her. One day she went to a job fair and instead of applying for a job, she ended up applying for a business grant. She received a $3000 to start a new company. The day she launched her e-commerce website she paid for the site in a single day and did over $10K in sales. This company was Tiny Devotions which sold mala beads and yoga inspired jewelry. This was the first company to make a product in this niche in North America. After you decided not to become a layer you started making mala beads. How did that come about? After law school, knew she didn’t want to be a lawyer but didn’t have a better plan. So she sold all her belongings and fled to Bali where she signed up for a yoga teacher training. In Bali, she started to look for a business idea. She came up with 3 ideas, import art from Bali, do yoga teaching and retreats or create yoga jewelry. She had followed the rise of Lululemon and could see that yoga was growing in popularity and an industry was springing up around it. Where did money fit into her mindset? Diana knew she was going back to Canada from Australia in 2 months and that that was when reality was to set in. She felt going to Bali was her last opportunity to do something crazy before going back to Canada and she even went into debt in order to go. When she went back to Canada she did a legal placement while living with her parents. After a talk from her father, she realized she needed to minimize her discretionary spending and pay off her debt. After that experience, she decided to learn to manage her money and never be in debt again. How did you find customers when you launched? What worked 10 years ago would not work now. She used social media and influencer marketer – before influencer marketing was a thing. She did this by sending products to influential yoga teachers. With her current company, which she started 3 months ago, she is not yet doing paid marketing. Although she has the money for it, at this stage in the company she is leveraging relationships she has built over the years to get access to audiences. What has been your experience with exits? The second company she created was actually sold first. This was an e-commerce sock company that was also a social enterprise company. It loaned profits from the socks to entrepreneurs in Cuba. Tiny Devotions became successful very quickly, but Diana struggled to feel in alignment with the business for many years. It took 2 years to sell the business and she had 20 deals fall apart before she was able to sell the company. Now looking back, she realizes she should have started the process of selling the company as soon as she started to fall out of alignment with it. What advice would you give to someone who wants to make a transition because they are out of alignment? Having awareness is really important and coaches can really help with that. Diana worked with career transition coach Rikke Hansen for a year when she decided to sell Tiny Devotions. She also points out that it is important to take baby steps and that trial runs can be extremely helpful. I’d love to hear about your current business. What are you offering? Diana has a private lending company that gives loans to people who banks won’t finance. She is also a commercial real state developer and investor. These are things she runs concurrently with her entrepreneurial ventures. Since she had experience in the finance space she decided to start providing financial consulting to entrepreneurs. She is currently started working 1 on 1 with entrepreneurs in her network, taking them through the framework she has developed over the past 10 years. In the spring she will be launching the Profit Accelerator which will be a group-based program for entrepreneurs. What do you do to maintain your level of ability to perform?  She is finding that being in startup mode, she currently has an unstoppable mindset. As a Christian, she puts her faith first, with a prayer practice and regularly going to church. She finds journaling important to be reflective and self-aware. She also likes to have a community of strong women around her to call her on her bullshit. Although she loves the grind, it can be crazy and she tries to make sure that she is able to dial it back when she needs to. What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? The best advice she’s been given was from her neighbor, who was a very successful entrepreneur. He told her that ‘what is more important than what you do with your life, is who you spend it with’. What’s an action step that you want to offer someone listening to this podcast? She has an opt-in on her website www.dianahouse.com that has her framework – 10 profitability essentials for entrepreneurs. Outside her own stuff, if you’ve never had a coach, hire a coach. Hire a great coach and do the work to enable you to grow as fast and as big as you can. How can we get in-touch with you?
