Success then Abundance and Gratitude or Gratitude and Abundance then Success? Have you even considered such a deep question? Well I have. Rather you've asked this question or not, I'm living proof that Success and fulfillment does not happen without gratitude and an Abundance mindset.

Lindsey Kovach and Alycia Turley are the Co-Founders at The LENN Foundation, a nonprofit helping families who have children with cerebral palsy. They provide financial relief towards children's unmet medical needs that are not covered by health insurance. Lindsey and Alycia share impactful stories to Alex, Erik Stark and Dave Payerchin on how their foundation makes a difference. Key Takeaways: When Alex first discovered The Lenn Foundation, he felt so much empathy for the families who had children with cerebral palsy. Alex Pardo, Erik Stark, Dave Payerchin, & The Collective Genius have teamed up with The Lenn Foundation today! How did Lindsey and Alycia get involved with The Lenn Foundation? Insurance companies simply do not cover the majority of cerebral palsy expenses and therapies. What do the therapies cost and what kind of impact do they have on the children? What happens when a child isn't able to go to therapy? Therapy gives these children so much confidence to try new things and to overcome obstacles. What does cerebral palsy do to a child? As a parent, how does cerebral palsy affect Alycia's day-to-day life? Who are these people? They're our neighbors. They're part of our community! Alex shares why he feels guilty. Dave is a wholesale investor and he is sending 100% of the proceeds from his coaching program to The LENN Foundation. Do you have $100, $500, $1,000+ to donate? Dave has some gifts for you. Final thoughts from Erik, Alycia, and Lindsey.

It's Alex's birthday! Alex would like to share with you the call he, Steve Cook, and Erik Stark had back in May that discussed in more detail what the Holiday Mastermind was all about and why it hit on so many important categories in Alex and Erik's vision.

Giving to charity, masterminding with high-level entrepreneurs, and vacationing!  Today, Alex will be sharing a call from a couple of months ago where Erik Stark, Steve Cook, and himself talked about hosting a holiday mastermind in July (where 100% of the proceeds go to benefit the WeAreGraces.org Charity. Who are Alex and Erik? In July, it's Alex and Erik's goal to give back to charity, work with entrepreneurs, and travel. Erik and Alex have been friends since 2010 and even though they give back to the community yearly, Hurricane Irma really made them double their efforts. This year, how can Alex and Erik raise the bar and give back even more? Alex was a big inspiration as to why Erik decided to move from Michigan to Florida. Alex asked Steve for his support, but neither Alex or Erik had an idea of which charity to support. That's when Steve recommended the Lifeonaire charity of choice, which was building homes and schools for people in Guatemala. Steve explains why he is so passionate about the We Are Graces non-profit organization. Alex discusses the structure and the layout of the Holiday Mastermind. Alex highlights the importance of being vulnerable in the Mastermind and how it helps you become a better entrepreneur. Erik highlights the importance of why it's important that the attendees bring down their families to be part of this Mastermind. The floor is now open for questions about the mastermind from those on the call. Alex and Erik offer some final thoughts.

Generating quality leads is keen for any marketer, especially for real estate investors seeking motivated sellers or cash buyers. And while many treat it as a volume game, sending out hundreds or even thousands of emails and letters, Erik Stark has devised a unique system that entices qualified sellers and buyers to reach out to him instead.

To celebrate the big 200, Alex invites Erik Stark back onto the show to talk about giving back and the importance of going above and beyond for the people in your community. Last year, Alex and Erik made a big impact by hosting a Holiday Mastermind to help victims of Hurricane Irma get back on their feet. This year, they will be hosting a similar event in Bimini (Bahamas), in mid-July to support We Are GRACES. If you're interested in this mastermind, reach out to Alex for more info!   Key Takeaways: THANK YOU!!! 200 episodes is a milestone for this podcast, and I appreciate you for supporting the show. Alex personally believes in giving back regularly and being a servant of God. Erik also has similar beliefs and shares why giving back is so important. One of the worst things that can happen to you is you die and you didn't live your full potential. Alex inspired Erik to move down from Michigan to South Florida to start a new life with his family. How did Alex and Erik start the Holiday Mastermind? When the Hurricane Irma hit, the destruction was bad and here Erik was selflessly giving back to the community. To be honest, Alex felt guilty he wasn't doing enough. Don't sit on your hands. If you think you can do something, do it. Too many people wait for others to lead when it can be YOU! Last Christmas, the charity work Alex and Erik did brought smiles to about 100 children who virtually had nothing. One person can impact an entire generation or family. One person! What were some of the key takeaways that Erik learned at the holiday mastermind? Want to support the Holiday Mastermind? Alex and Erik are hosting the next one in Bimini (Bahamas) in mid-July.   Mentioned in This Episode: I would greatly appreciate an iTunes Review :-) Flip Empire on iTunes Email Alex: Alex@FlipEmpire.com Download my Holiday Mastermind Notes Here: flipempire.com/holiday Episode 008: (Erik Stark on Owner Finance & Deal Structure - Part 1) Episode 010: (Erik Stark on Owner Finance & Deal Structure - Part 2)   Tweetables: “There are a lot of people in pain and if you're making $50-75k a year, you're making more money than 80-90% of the world.” “One of the worst things that can happen to you is you die and you didn't live your full potential.” “If you're able, you're obligated.” Ask Alex A Question: Have a question you want featured on an upcoming Flip Empire Show?

Erik Stark is an Expert Real Estate Entrepreneur, Educator, Marketer, Ubercool Dad and Dedicated Husband of 13+ Years. Erik has purchased hundreds of properties, created masterful marketing pieces, shared the stage with the top real estate and personal development educators, helped thousands of people improve their lives and continues to pour his life into people, friendships, disciplines, breakthroughs and growth.     Podcast Highlights Who is Erik Stark? If you want to know who Erik really is you have to observe him, not just listen to his words. Erik originally went to take the test for his Real Estate license right out of high school but after being told there wasn’t enough people in the class and the test was cancelled, he believed that Real Estate wasn’t for him. He later went on to work in an automobile detailing shop where he met up with a friend that convinced him they should go into the Real Estate business together. In the first eight months in business, they closed 35 deals and generated just under a quarter million dollars in profit. What was it like when you realized you could make that kind of money? The biggest breakthrough in Erik’s business life was when he realized he learned a new skill that he could take it wherever he went. Principles of Real Estate Investing “The man who chooses his own principles can gladly choose his own methods throughout life.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Success and entrepreneurship is not about what’s quick and easy. It’s about a systematic approach to testing and improving your process. What are your top three principles? Stop chasing an opportunity and work a strategy instead. Focus on lead generation. Focus on your vision and don’t abandon it for something new and shiny. There are a million ways to make money in Real Estate, but when you strategy aligns with your values that’s when you create something very special. Once you have a team that can execute, your job becomes generating leads to keep the team working. Taking lead generation to the next level is how you can stand out in the marketplace. Everyone questions their path every once in awhile. When you know your “why”, it will lead you to the right path towards greatness. You will never outearn your personal growth. What is it in your vision that helps you push through? There is no growth without trials. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. There is risk no matter which path through life you pick. Erik’s Takeaway You have to find something bigger than yourself that is going to help you keep it together when the negative voices start talking. Break it down to its core so you know exactly why you’re pushing so hard. With regards to Real Estate, learn it from a street level that is close to home. Have as many conversations with buyers, sellers, and lenders of Real Estate that you can.   Links: realestatewhileyoudrive.com therealerikstark.com Thank you for listening!

Alex discusses why you should always give your seller a different set of options and offers, when looking to purchase their home. He normally gives his sellers three options - a low cash offer, a owner fiance or lease offer, or a retail listing. By setting the seller up with these different options, they're more likely to agree to doing the deal with you and use you as their provider. However, if they're still unwilling to do a creative finance deal with you, do not throw that lead away! Alex explains how you can continue to put that lead to good use.   Key Takeaways: • Remember to check out our master interview with Erik Stark part one and part two. • You want to give the sellers you speak with on the phone different options. • Most of the leads you get, the seller will lack motivation and any real interest in you. • Despite this, do not throw those leads away! Monetize them. • Alex likes to give his sellers three options. He recommends to take control of the situation. • You don't want to only send a cash offer. • How does Alex monetize retail leads? • If you're not a licensed agent, check with your attorney on the best legal way to do this. • Do not throw the lead away if the home owner does not want to structure an owner finance deal with you. • Alex will sometimes outsource that tough lead or keep in touch with the homeowner at least once a month.    Mentioned in This Episode: www.flipempire.com/   Ask Alex A Question: Have a question you want featured on an upcoming Flip Empire Show?

Erik Stark joins us again on The Flip Empire show to continue his discussion on how he structures owner finance deals. Erik and his business partner, Steve Mills, have sold over 400+ properties in the last 11 years, so Erik definitely has a lot of qualified experience and advice up his sleeves. Tune in to discover why Erik likes interest only deals and why he would rather have a big payday over a fixed monthly income.   Key Takeaways: • Be sure to listen to part one of this interview with Erik first! • Erik does a quick recap of what he talked about in part one. • When structuring owner finance deals in this particular way, many times the sellers do not want their money back. They want to have a passive income on their property instead. • If you're confused about what's happening here, rewind this podcast if you have to! • What happens if Erik could not find a property to move his lender's collateral to? • Why does Erik structure all of his deals to be interest only? • Erik usually does an interest only deal for the first year and then moves it to an amortized loan. • Erik is turning home owner sellers into private lenders. • Communication is everything to your leaders. • Alex does a quick recap of the deal he and Erik are talking about. • How does Erik decide when to turn down a big payday? • Erik prefers a large cash pay day vs. a monthly income, because he knows he can invest it wisely. • At the end of the day, the way you structure your deals is a lifestyle choice and decision. • Alex gives his sellers three options. He gives them cash now, an owner fiance or lease option, or sell their property to a retail buyer. • Sometimes it's hard to turn down a big payday deal. • Alex acts like a seller to get a better idea of how Erik works. • Erik likes to plant the money-earning-potential seed while he is on the phone with a seller. • Thank you for listening!   Mentioned in This Episode: www.flipempire.com/ Erik Stark Interview - Part 1 www.therealerikstark.com/   Ask Alex A Question: Have a question you want featured on an upcoming Flip Empire Show?
