You have come to the right place if you want to learn how to get rich with investing in Real Estate. I have some tips and tricks that will help you get deals with no money down.

Whitney Elkins-Hutten ended up investing in real estate by accident back in 2002. Starting off in single-family rentals, she quickly realized that she wanted to grow faster, bringing her to the multi-family space. From there she realized she wanted more time to spend with her family. This brought her to passive investing.  In this episode, Whitney shares her wealth of knowledge in these three sectors through the story of her investing journey.

Welcome to another episode of The Remote Real Estate Investor. I'm Michael Albaum. And today with me, I have Whitney Elkins-Hutton and she is the creator of Ash Wealth, and a just powerhouse of an investor with a really cool story and getting into some really cool investments. So she's gonna be talking to us today about her story, what she's doing, and how you might be able to get involved too. So let's get into it.   Whitney, thank you so much for taking the time and joining me here on the podcast. And I really appreciate you hanging out.   Whitney: Yeah, thank you so much for having me. This is gonna be awesome.   Michael: Oh yea, It going to be  a lot of fun. So you and I were just chatting before the recording a little bit about your background, where you are, who you are and what it is that you're doing with real estate. But can you give our listeners a little bit of key into that?   Whitney: Sure. Yeah. I'm a Leo. Oh, no, just kidding.   Michael: Super important!   Whitney: Super important to my passive in my investing journey, no, but I honestly I started off real estate investing in 2002 completely by accident, I purchased a house with a significant other and did a lot of things wrong. And a lot of things ended up working right for me. But the relationship fell apart about a month later. And I had a house. And I'm like, oh, like I would hadn't planned for that. And like we go,   Michael: Here we go.   Whitney: What do we do? So I I am you know, I was young. And I still you know, living with roommates was totally fine. So I stuffed it fully roommates, people who didn't mind living in construction zone. Because this house needed everything done to it. I mean, it had psychedelic flowers painted on the walls like 1960s style. So was fun and super fun to get rid of. Anyways, you know, I and I had I chose to do everything myself. And this is before YouTube. And so I went and bought the Home Depot 123 book and you know, rehab the property myself. Sold it about 11 Yeah, well, I mean, I, you know, when you screw up your plumbing, you go hire a plumber. I did that.   Michael: Yeah.   Whitney: I'm like, why can I get the hot and cold to come on? Right? Oh, cuz I haven't switched works. And so long story short, I sold it 11 minutes later, which was probably one of my bigger investing mistakes that I made. And it was at that point in time, I realized I had made more income in 11 months, through the capital gain on the sell of that house than I had made in my day job. And I hadn't been paying for my mortgage the whole entire time, my roommates had been paying for it. And I'm like, Oh my gosh, how many more of these deals can I do? And so that really launched my journey into investing.   But I you know, it, I had to grow from there, it took me years to realize that, you know, live in flipping and house hacking is just one strategy. And, you know, if I wanted to have passive income, and really unlock those golden handcuffs, I needed to figure out how to generate passive income. So it took, you know, my husband joined me in my antics, and it, you know, it took several years for us to kind of like slap ourselves in the head and go, Wow, we need to rent out property not sell it. And yeah, and then we dove in headfirst in that I scaled a portfolio of 30 properties that way, you know, leverage, Roofstock for uh, you know, reposition those properties. And then then I wanted to spend more time with my daughter at home and realized we had enough cash flow coming in to do that. In that's when I was just like, I don't know if I can do like 80 properties in order to get my husband at his job because all sudden, he wanted to join me.   I'm like, well, we gotta go multifamily. And so you know, I have, you know, began focusing on passive investing through multifamily and self storage, real estate investments. But I still love the single family asset because you can have it in your control and do so many different things with it.   Michael: Oh, my God, I love your story. It seems like I mean, it echoes I think so many investors seemingly organic progression of start somewhere and then you figure it out and then you start owning some rental properties and then you go multifamily and then you end up in passive. So talk to us a little bit about what that progression was going from single family to multifamily.   Whitney: Yeah, so really, it was a skill ability issue that we're having. So I, you know, I didn't know anything really different. Um, we had talked about kind of dabbling in multifamily. But really, you know, we had an inflection point When my husband when I wanted to stay home with our daughter, my husband was like,   Well, I want that too. And I'm like,   Michael: I would also like to not work, please.   Whitney: I'm like, Oh, hold on, I was like, we have 30 properties. And, you know, I was burning the candle at both ends, and five times in the middle just to make that happen. And I was using property management. And so I was like, wow, we've got to get to 80 properties for us to realistically both step away, and I'm like, Okay, we've got to get more properties with each transaction, we have to figure out a way to make this a lot smoother. And then, you know, when I started diving into the multifamily model, especially like, you know, you get up into, you know, 10 units, you know, 20-50 and larger, you know, the way they're evaluated is so much different than single family properties, you know, single family properties are evaluated based on comparable sales, you know, what did the guy sell his property for in the last six months? That's right next to you.   But with the multifamily asset, you're now a commercial business. And I just saw the huge power in that, because I'm like, wow, I can actually get rewarded for the work that I do, like, truly rewarded. If I take 50 units and rehab them and move them to market rent. Awesome, I get rewarded, if I, you know, make some small changes on the profit and loss statement to reduce the expenses, I get rewarded. And if I add additional streams of income, I get rewarded. And, you know, we call that value add strategy. And you know, in the multifamily world, really like you can't add additional streams of income very well to single family properties, or at all right, honestly, right. I tried trust me. Didn't go over so well. I tried to rent out a storage shed in the back of a property one time and they were like, the tenant was like, Nope, no, thanks. I don't want to use it. I'm like, Okay, fine. And then like, when they moved out, I realized they had stored everything. They broke in.   Michael: Sneaky tenants. Oh, man. So you realize that there's this there's this way that you can truly add value and get rewarded for it, not just today in terms of your cash flow, but down the road? And in terms of the value going the multifamily route? Yeah.   Whitney: Well, yeah, you get to control those levers a lot more readily than you do. And, you know, single family and small one to four real estate. Um, you know, you can add value. Absolutely. You go in and do a cosmetic rehab, which I you know, the large portion of my single family properties that I still have, I would do a cosmetic rehab, and I get rewarded with larger rents, I get rewarded with equity bumps on the properties. However, I can't control the market around that very well, you know, and I can't do that at scale. That's another big reason. Why, to consider switching asset classes.   Whitney: Love it. That's I mean, that's really why I made the jump to is I realized, Oh, my God, there are all these levers, I can pull. And I work out the math all the time with students I have in the academy, and I think it's like $100,000 at a five cap, or like a five unit, if you make a $15 incremental shift across every unit, and like the utility bill back, it adds like $18,000 in value at that same five cap. But it's like, it's mind blowing, how magnified these these changes can can become?   Whitney: Oh, absolutely, yeah, I'm working with one of my coaching clients right now, you know, he's working through an 11 unit property. And, you know, he was like, I don't know if I want to do rubs. And I'm like, why wouldn't you do that? You know, I was just like, you just do like five bucks here to you know, 10 bucks here. 15 bucks there. 30 bucks there. You know, by the, by the time we took a look at everything on the profit and loss statement, income, additional streams of income and everything. And I'm like, you know, you could push the value on this 11 unit property by 250 to $300,000 in six months. And have   Michael: That probably got their attention?   Whitney: Yeah, have zero of your refinance, zero your own money in it? Or like, you know, he was worried how do I go larger? Like or sell this property and go 1031 and go bigger? Why not?   Michael: Yeah, yeah. Oh, I love it. We get talked multifamily. All day long. I just get so so jazzed about it. But Woody, I'm curious to learn what you went into, or how you got involved with passive investing.   Whitney: Yeah, so at this inflection point, where my husband was like, hey, you know, I want to stay home as well or not stay home, he wants to go mountain biking a lot. And so   Michael: The truth comes out.   Whitney: I mean, it's all about lifestyle. Right. And I think that's something you know, you know, I really try to help people understand what are your investing goals? It's real estate is a tool, but you have to figure out a tool to what, and for us, you know, you know, great building passive income, but what does that actually get us it gets us our time back to do the things that we're most passionate about. And so when he, you know, we're we're, you know, at this inflection point, trying to figure out like, Okay, we're gonna go multifamily We had to blow apart every single system that we had in place, we needed new reality, we needed new lending, you know, you know, we needed to do property manager.   And I had two passive investments in my self directed IRA already. I was like, kind of like a mutual fund, you know, I'll worry about them later. I mean, I really, honestly, I hadn't really educated myself very fully on them. I, you know, somebody else had suggested that, that there would be good investments. I don't suggest doing this guys. In that way, don't do it. Do your due diligence. I'm super passionate.   Um, but when I started under kind of like reverse engineering, what these operators were doing with those investments and like, wow, like, Yeah, can I beat the returns, if I do this all myself? Sure. But my return on my time, I just, it just, I can't get back into you know, you have a small child at home, and I was still working full time. At that point in time, I was like, this is this is amazing. Like, where's my highest and best use of my time right now is with my family in earning an income and trying to figure out how to grow these other parts of my business.   And so that's really what launched us into passive investing. And, you know, we slowly, you know, had to add, like, you know, capital that we're getting from our day jobs and stuff like that, and invested in passive investing. But then we saw this opportunity to leverage those 30 single family homes, and kind of use them as like little mini ATMs in order to harvest out the income and equity out of those properties in order to continue to invest in scale passively.   Michael: Oh, my God, I love it. So what kinds of investments passive investments were you making? I know, you mentioned multifamily and self storage, is that really where you went, you jumped in both feet?   Whitney: Multifamily in news probably makes up the largest part of my portfolio, self study, self storage, the second largest, I do have other investments in residential assisted living and land and stuff like that. But I, you know, I come from public health, and I'm like, you know, you get down to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. For me, it was a no brainer, you know, you get down to first principles, right? Somebody is always going to need a roof over the head. Are they gonna need a self storage unit? I mean, technically, no, maybe the United States yes. But really you don't need it, but you will need that roof over your head. So that's where you really dug dug in.   That's why I love like, even single families still, like people are always going to need a place to live and a roof over their head. And we have such a housing shortage right now. So I mean, this is   Michael: Massively.   Whitney: I hear so many investors asked me, you know, all the time, like, Oh, do you think you know, things are topped out or you think the real estate's about to crash, you know, the hearkening back to 2008, but very different story. We're so under built by a wet, it's like 5 million homes, almost five and a half million homes like, no. Like, you know, even I don't even I think it's still gonna take like, you know, seven to 10 years, even with the pace of current building to catch up with the supply. I mean, this is a golden opportunity to to still get into the real estate space.   Michael: Yeah, I think so too. I think so, too. So I'm curious to know how, in your opinion, do you go about evaluating a passive investment opportunity?   Whitney: Well, it that's interesting, because I love working with investors on this, because you know, especially if you come from the single family or small, like one to four world, and you're so focused on the asset, and why, like, what makes a good deal? What is the cashflow? What is the return is going to be and when you translate that into passive investing, that can really land you in tons of hot water, because the model is different. It's not about the deal, right? We all are chasing returns, we all we all want great returns. But with passive investing, it's not about the return, it's about who's running the business, you're not investing in a deal. You're investing in an operating business.   So who is that operator? Who is that sponsor? And, you know, even before that, you need to understand what your goals are, you know, do you need cash flow? Do you need appreciation? Or do you need some balance blend of both, which is really where I help. I'm all about, like, let's try to hit you can get both you can get a cash flow, and you can get appreciation.   Once you kind of check that box, what's your risk tolerance? You know, are you wanting, you know, kind of a core asset that has no business plan risk to it, or you wanting you know, ground up development. There's a whole continuum in between there to have risk tolerance, and to check. And once you have that, check, now it's time to go find the operator that meets that strategy that you want to be in that risk tolerance set. You're you're willing to your band of risk tolerance you're willing to be in and then start learning how to vet that operator.   Michael: Okay, and what does what does that look like if someone's new ever done a passive investment? What does vetting an operator mean to them? Or what does it mean to you?   Whitney: Yeah. So So what is the operator doing there? You know, think of them, like if you're the CEO of your passive business, right? passive investment business, then the operator is your COO. Right? So you are you are essentially hiring out operations on a multifamily asset. So what do you look for in that COO? You want to know? Do they have a track record? Like, have they been doing this? Right? What is their investment strategy? does it align with what you need? Right? Like, you're not going to go talk to the operator, who's doing ground up development, if you if your view just can't tell it that type of risk? Right? Do you have an alignment in the business strategy in the investing thesis?   Then you're getting down to like, who's on their team? Right, I, you know, operators that are only working part time still maybe still working their day jobs? You know, that's fantastic. I mean, ever there are new operators coming into the market all the time for me, I want to invest with operators are doing this full time. They're taking care of my money, not as if it was theirs, is that that is if it's mine, right there. They're what have their eyes on it all the time. You know, again, you know, what is their background? And the investment strategy? You know, maybe they're pivoting from another industry, and they're bringing the skills in from another industry, that's totally fine, too. But, you know, somebody there needs to be have a background. First learn.   Yeah, and then, um, you know, just, you know, their track record, like what are you know, have they been able to perform with the assets? You know, how many have they gone through refinance? How many they've gone through sale? And then there's kind of the gut check. Right? Do you just know, love and trust them? At the end of the day? Yeah. Right. Your gut, I mean, call me female, I don't know. But like, I listen to my gut, right? Like, I'm, you know, I want to, I want to know that this is somebody who's gonna be my true partner, and and who is not put off if I like, reach out to them with, with, with maybe like, a seemingly silly question.   Now, it's on me to do my due diligence, and to, you know, educate, you know, educate myself, and, you know, everything. I don't expect the operator to educate me on everything. But you know, if I have a silly question, like about a tax question, you know, it should be Hey, great to hear from you. Like, you know, let's get your question answered. You know, you know, if you don't hear from them, like, their communication is, you know, lackluster or takes a really long time. That's challenging, you know, I would kind of put that, you know, in the not so cool category.   Michael: Yeah, absolutely. And that's, I mean, that's so you bring up a really great point. And a question that I wanted to follow up with is, most of these operators are providing an OM an offering memorandum to show showcase what the investment is, what their track record is, what the highlights of that particular investment are. And I think for so many newer investors, they're maybe overwhelmed with just that information itself, or definitely feeling overwhelmed with asking reaching out asking questions, but you're saying no, it should, we should kind of turn that on its head and say, okay, as the investor, we're the bosses, we should feel very comfortable to reach out to the person, the COO that we're hiring, and ask them some of our questions.   Whitney: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I mean, it's not like, you know, they're your, your partners, new ones, a general partner, that's going to be running operations, you're the limited partner, right? And so your role is fairly limited. I mean, you're not going to be able to direct them and say, hey, now put this tenant in this property or do this on the property. But you definitely ask question, do you want to be in it? You know, think about this, like when you invest? You know, you're in that deal for 3-5-7 years, maybe even 10? Right? This should be something that you you've you see yourself getting along with, for that time period, and able to communicate with for that time period. So if you're just like, oh, wow, I got it on that deal. So I can get like a, you know, 12 or 12% cash on cash return, I hope I never have to talk to him. That's problem. That's a big red flag.   Michael: Now, that's so good to know. That's so good to know. So I'm curious to get your thoughts. I think there's two schools of thought around passive investing. One is that it could be really great for somebody that's newer and just getting started so that they can see how a successful operation runs. And then the other school of thought, I think is is kind of more traditionally and how you ended up in passive investing towards the end of an investment career, not the end, but after you've had some experience and built up some cash flow, because I think one of the issues with it is that you can't use leverage. You can't go to a bank and say, hey, I want to go invest in this person's deal. Will you loan me 80% of the money to do so? What are your thoughts around where in investors lifecycle they should pepper in or utilize leverage? Maybe not leverage is a bad word because you can't use leverage   But participate.   Whitney: Yeah, but well, by the way, you are using leverage as you're using, you know, leverage you get, we can cover that I have like a whole, like, I love going through all the different six points of leverage, you get an immense amount of leverage in syndication. So let's actually touch on that   Michael: Perfect,   Whitney: I get to leverage general partners time, knowledge and expertise, there's so true credit and lending and other investors money. So I, for me, let's, you know, I'll kind of like draw, you know, draw the little picture here is that I wanted to get into multifamily real estate, I had to re engineer all these systems, I could do it myself, or I can invest in somebody else's passive deal. And they already know about multifamily real estate, they already know all about the market, they already have their team in place, the realtors, the brokers, the lenders, okay, everybody's already in place legal accountants, I get to leverage all of that. And they have an investor base that they've already built up. So you know, if I want to access an $80 million asset, I don't have to go to the bank and get a loan for $20 million, I can actually put in $50,000, and access that asset, you know, you know, for far less than it would be to get to the bank, right?   Michael: Totally, totally.   Whitney: And I don't have to figure out, I don't have to bring the track record, in order to get the loan on that I don't have to, you know, pledge my assets to get that, um, my liability ends at the LLC level, right. So, you know, in an essence, my, I have way less risk on all 38 of my passive investments than I do on my small single family portfolio that I still hold. I'm far more exposed there, I'm way less exposed over here. And then the return, I have leveraged time, right? By the time I mean, I do have to put in time learning about passive investing and underwriting the operator, the market and the deal. But once I write the check, I mean, my responsibilities are generally done until the sell of the asset, and then even then, you know, I'm putting minimal time in just to re review account statements and such totally, and make my election if I want to do a 1031 exchange and go bigger, and they still get to access all of those different Wealth Generators, real estate, cash flow, you know, equity, you know, appreciation, equity, build all the different tax benefits, and I can, you know, and again, leverage can be on the use on the asset as well.   Now, we're in the lifecycle, should somebody consider this? And there's a couple of different questions, there's not really a clear cut, you know, suggestion on where I would say, somebody slides this into their investing thesis. But, you know, one, you know, if you only have $50,000, to your name, you know, I wouldn't you don't put the house on black, right, you don't pledge all your assets to one deal. Right. So, you know, you definitely want to, you know, skill up your ability to invest. That's why I really like, you know, for people that that are just starting out, and they want to build, you know, their asset and their investment base, their net worth, in a single family and small wonder for properties are an amazing way to do that. Okay, but once you have some assets behind you, now, you got to understand, like, what's your return on your time, that's where you might want to start pivoting into doing more syndication deals.   And, you know, kind of like what we did, and, you know, taking the cash flow, and whatever we were able to pull out from refinances and putting it into passive investing. Now, I still get cashflow off of this passive, passive investing deals, and I still get to take advantage of any refinances that occur on the property. So I get cash back to earn money in two places. And I just had five deals cycle out at the end of this year, and you know, I'm four of which are gonna go through a 1031 exchange, I still get to pull that massive lever in real estate.   Now, if somebody is like sitting on, you know, maybe a million dollars of investable cash right now, I would ask, the question is, do you how active Do you want to be in your investing portfolio? If they're like, I don't have the time to deal with this. I don't have the bandwidth to deal with the property manager. I think passive investing, you can skip buying single family homes go right to passively invest.   Michael: Totally, that makes so much sense. And that's so good that you pointed out, you know, you really do get leverage for all those points you mentioned, maybe less so in the sense of traditional leverage of I can't go borrow, I need to have the cash to invest in the deal. That 50,000 Whatever the minimum is, right?   Whitney: Yeah, the barrier to entry is a little bit higher. And that's by design. And you know, I have investors ask me this all the time. You know, why? Why 50,000 Like, can I just do 10 I'm like, well, if I'm raising $20 million, and I have all my investors put in $10,000 That's a lot of people to work.   Michael: Yeah, herding cats.   Whitney: Yeah, I on a good day, you know, even a $50,000 investment, that's still a lot of investors to work with, you're talking hundreds of investors to work with. And so that's why you see some of these operators eventually scale, they might start off, you know, you know, with a two or three or $4 million raise, and it might be $20,000, or $25,000. And then eventually, you see them scale up into, you know, larger minimum investments. I mean, Grant Cardon, I think I like talked to his group last year, and it was like, I think one deal was like seven or $50,000. And like, Oh, that's cool.   Michael: Put that on ice for a little bit later, maybe.   Whitney: I was like, they were like, we'll call you back in a week. And I'm like, awesome. Um, but, yeah, I mean, it's, it's, it also helps you, um, you know, we not weed out but, you know, understand if somebody's putting in their last dime. And that's a scary place, not only for the investor, BROSCO for the operator, you mean, the operator, really, you know, will there vetting the limited partner as well knew, you know, or what is their, you know, what are their investing goals? are we aligned? What is their ability to invest? Or, you know, maybe they even have, like, a rigid process of, like, you know, asking for accredited investor letters, where you're actually getting a third party to say, hey, I have net worth, or I have income to invest.   And that, you know, if you're working with, you know, smaller 506 B, B, as in boy, investor, you know, you know, we can take a sophisticated investor at that level, which, you know, there's really no visibility on the finances of that person. And so, you know, if you've set your minimum investment at, say, $50,000, the likelihood that somebody is taking all 50k in their savings account, investing, and investing is pretty minimal.   Michael: Okay, that makes total sense. Whitney, I want to shift gears here a little bit, and I'm very curious to get your thoughts on what it's like, and how you became so successful, being a female in the space, which seemingly is so dominated by males?   Whitney: That is, that is a very interesting question. I'm not sure that I've ever been asked that. Um, you know,   Michael: Yes first!   Whitney: I don't, firstly, you know, I think a couple of things that, you know, I, that stand out to me about it is, I really don't look at it as male versus female, you know, there, obviously, and I went to a conference, you know, probably three years ago now. And I was one of probably 15 women out of 600 people at the conference. I mean, it was the shortest bathroom line ever.   Michael: So good.   Whitney: And I, you know, but, um, that being aside, I met so many powerhouse women and that, that bathroom, like, literally, I have always been so supported by many of the males in the business as well. Now, that said, it's probably because I, that's what I seek out, right, you know, Seek and ye shall find I, you know, somebody is, you know, kind of, kind of a hardcore, you know, rough personality. That's mean, not me, I'm pretty laid back. I mean, you know, I'm not going to be attracted to that, and they're not going to be quite frankly, attracted to me, either. And so, I think, you know, it's what you look for is what you're you're going to find in the space as far as like, you know, how does, you know, being successful at it? I think it's just hard work and dedication. And, you know, if somebody tells me No, I don't mean really, I just say, Oh, that means not now. And then like a month later, I'm like, What about now? Yeah, they're like, no, oh, how about now?   Michael: So good.   Whitney: Persistence. So and those are really, you know, skills. You know, we have a nine year old and those are, you know, a daughter, and, you know, resilience and persistence are, you know, two things that we're really trying to instill in her and really not see quite a gender line there. needed that you can, you know, I think one of the things that we always tell her, you know, especially when she's feeling deprived of something, we're like, you know, you deserve the world. You just haven't earned it yet. And so it's, you figure out like, how you can earn your stripes.   Michael: Love it. That's so good. That's so good. One last gearshift here. Whitney, you created a business and website around real estate investing and you also wrote a book where can people find out about those and what should they expect to find once they get there?   Whitney: Yeah, I actually have a couple of different um, you know, places you know, for, you know, somebody who's just starting off, you know, more of a sophisticated investor and wants to build up those late single one to four units. You can find me an Ash Wealth. You can download my ebook there. Learning How to Build a Six Figure Business Without Losing Your Mind and Your Sanity.   Michael: So awesome very important things   Whitney: Yeah, it's very important but you know um you know we talked a lot about passive investing in you can also visit passiveinvestingwithwhitney.com.

In dem achten Podcast ,, Grant Cardone Zitat” von GG magic geht es um ein Zitat von Grant Cardone. Das Zitat sagt frei übersetzt aus, dass die erfolgreichen ähnlich wie Zauberer sind und dass sie nicht in der Realität der anderen Leben und ihre eigene Realität erschaffen. Außerdem akzeptieren sie nur ihre Realität, sie interessiert es nicht was andere für möglich oder unmöglich halten. Sie machen nur das, damit ihre Realität wahr wird. Dieses Zitat findet man im Buch ,,The only difference between success and failure" von Grant Cardone. Daniel Hank und Madou Mann diskutieren über dieses  Zitat und die Ansichten vieler Zauberer. Viele Zauberkünstler wollen keine eigene Realität schaffen sondern passen sich den ,,magischen Gegebenheiten" Viele Zauberkünstler grenzen sich auch in dieser Realität ein. Sie denken z.b., dass nur die Dinge möglich sind, von denen sie schon mal etwas gehört haben. Aber sie denken nicht daran, dass sie eventuell für ihre Vorstellung eine eigene  Lösung finden können. Die beiden geben euch als Tipp, dass ihr am besten viele ,,Utopische '' Ideen haben solltet. Aber wenn ihr eine Gute Lösung dafür findet , denkt der Zuschauer genau dasselbe von eurer Nummer. Und das ist doch genau das, was ihr euch als Reaktion der Zuschauer vorstellt. Außerdem geben sie als Tipp sich zu trauen und einfach mal zu machen! Außerdem sollte man  immer seine Ideen aufzuschreiben und ständig üben und den Zauber Kollegen neue Ideen präsentieren nicht unbedingt immer die fertigen Kunststücke.   Hier findet Ihr alle wichtigen Links, wo Ihr uns überall finden könnt Unser Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ggmagic_/ Unser Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/zauberakademie/ Die Seite von Madou Mann: https://www.madoumann.de/ Die Seite von Daniel Hank: https://danielhank.de/ Unsere Emailadresse: info@ggmagic.de

We all like to dream about being financially wealthy. For most people though, it remains a dream and nothing more. Why is that? It’s because most people don’t set their mind to achieving that goal. They might not be happy in their current situation but they’re comfortable – and comfort is one of the biggest enemies of growth. How do you go about developing that millionaire mindset? This week we will learn some tricks and tips to develop rich thinking! Step One “Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say ‘I want plenty of money.’ Be definite as to the amount.” The first step seems so easy. Just decide how much you want to make. Pick a number, any number. The idea behind this step is when you have a definite goal, there is no wiggle room to say whether you made it or not. If I decide I want to make 100-million dollars, and I end up making 99,999,999.99 I didn’t reach my goal. There is no if, and, or but about it. Believe it or not there is a psychological advantage to having a goal that is specific. Research done by Edwin Locke shows that people who set specific, challenging goals actually did better than those who set vague goals.  Imagining the exact number you want will help you visualize what you have to do to get to that number, keep you more accountable by making your goal measurable, and help you understand just what you are willing to sacrifice for your wealth. Step Two Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. There is no such thing as something for nothing. Determining what you are willing to do to get this amount of money will help you set a timeline, and help you realize how important this is to you. If you have decided to make five million dollars, but you aren’t willing to sacrifice time, effort, or other priorities, it isn’t likely that you are going to make that money. To attain this step you first have to ask yourself what you have to give for this money. Do you have a lot of intelligence, time, a large network? Then you have to decide how much of what you have you are willing to give. If you want that five million and you have a lot of intelligence, but you are only willing to think about how you are going to obtain that goal an hour a week, it will take a lot longer to reach. Once you have decided what you have and how much you are willing to give to get that money, ask yourself whether that is enough to obtain the amount of money you want. Step Three Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire. Setting a definite date is a goal setting technique that should be applied to every goal you set every time. If you don’t have a set date to obtain this wealth, you have unlimited time to work towards it, there is no sense of urgency. Having an end to your goal holds you accountable for what you said you are going to do, just like step one, you have no wiggle room, you either reach your goal, or you don’t. Once you have finished step one and two, it is important to make sure you set a date that aligns with how much you want and what you are willing to do for it. For example, if you say: ‘I want one million dollars but I am not willing to change anything I am doing, and I want it in one week,’ you have just created a completely unrealistic goal.   Remember, if you set a date that is very close, then there is a good chance you will feel pressured to finish very quickly, which generally cause stress and busy nights. But if you set a date that is very far off, there is a chance you will not feel pressured to finish, and you either give up or wait for the last minute and end up stressed and busy anyway.   Make sure to seek council from those who have accomplished their goals while setting your date. This will make it much easier. Step Four Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action. Now we are getting to the action part of these steps. When you are creating a plan remember it is alright to not be 100% sure of every step. Having a plan set and in place will help you when you are feeling lost, discouraged, or if you get easily distracted. It is also important that you keep your plan somewhere that you can see it. This will help keep your mind on your plan and your ever-looming deadline.   When you create a plan start with what you know. Write out your starting point and your end goal. Now write out the day you start, and your end date, once you have that you can write the big goals and milestones in between. Once you have your basic outline, write out the dates that you want to finish your big goals by, then write out the steps to get to those goals. Make sure to leave room between your goals because there is a good chance you will want to add to your small steps to reach your goals. The more detail oriented you are laying out this plan the easier it will be for you to follow it. Adding dates to your steps to reach your big goals will help hold you accountable, but isn’t necessary as long as you trust yourself to hit your big goal dates. Now that you have your plan give it to your mentor, business partner, or friend, and ask them to check in with you from time to time. Remember, no goal is truly met alone. Using other’s strength will only make you stronger. Step Five Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it. This statement is very literal. Don’t type it out, don’t just think about it, literally write it out. Grant Cardon writes his goals down every day—a constant reminder to what he aims to get done. There is a reason you want to write it down. Look at studies about how people learn and memorize. Those who just hear or read tend to learn less than those who write it out, this is due to the fact that you are also giving yourself a visual symbol while processing each word you write down. So write out everything you have decided so far. Write it as many times as it takes to sink in. Step Six Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read, see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money. You know what they say, seeing is believing. Take what you just wrote out post it everywhere. Read it first thing in the morning and once again before you go to bed. Have it be the first thing you think about in the morning and the last thing you think about every night. Make it so that the amount of money you decided you were going to make is always in your head, make your plan your obsession. Start to think about what you give every day to better yourself and how much you have overcome to get to that point. When you are constantly thinking about something you will naturally make decisions based on how it will affect your main goal.   Following these principles will help you reach your goals.

Episode Notes Hey hey, what's going on everybody I hope you are doing well I just want to welcome you to the Marketing with Midnyte podcast. This is episode number 1 and in this episode, I just want to basically go through an origin story about myself and talk about kind of where I came from what I'm all about and how I stumbled upon this marketing business and concept and whole fresh world. So strap which bootstraps on and let's get ready for kind of a crazy ride. I've spent the last six years at a nine-to-five job that I love to hate. Until I came across an idea that sparked a flame for an online business. Now I've got a house, wife, kids, passion and desire to make this online business a reality. The big question is how will I do this without venture capital or debt while spending time with this family. join in and follow along as I learn, take action on, and share marketing strategies to grow my online business using the power of chatbots and internet automation. My name is Shane Rakke and welcome to the marketing with Midnyte podcast! All right good morning good afternoon whatever it is in your world and your neck of the woods. Once again I just want to welcome you to the marketing with Midnyte podcast my name is Shane Rakke, I will be your host. Throughout this podcast, in the future, I look forward to trying to possibly do interviews and trying to get other people on here as well but for now, I will be the primary talking person in this world. During the podcast, I'd love to talk about things like chatbots, email automation, marketing concepts, and just business in general. I guess there's a lot of different things, but that's not really the focus on just this one, in particular, this one will be about an origin story and about my own life and how I literally stumbled upon the whole marketing world. I didn't start here I definitely didn't dream that I would end up here but I'm really happy that I did so basically here's the whole origin story. so I was born in central Minnesota in a small dinky town of about 2500 people, in this 2500 people community it's a small farming community. Where I mean the last day of the high school for the seniors we all drive our tractors to school so you could that's just kind of tells you a little bit about how small the community is. but it's and it's also a deal where everybody knows everybody else's business and if you don't know somebody you know of somebody you know it's kind of one of those deals so kind of a crazy little community that we have. I am an only child and I my parents are still both with us and that's how that's kind of a part of the reason that the Midnyte Flyer name came to be. So my dad used to be a trucker when he was a kid when he was small so younger and when he was a trucker he would go by the handle a Midnyte Flyer. So he was always the one that would take the midnight shift when he was like 18 years old and he was out driving with his dad and so then he would always get called Midnyte Flyer so I kind of inherited that name a little bit because I started using it in my video games when I went out when I was a kid and than then it's just kind of stuck ever since. So my flare was basically a testament to him. I graduated from this from this small town. I went to college and I became something that's called a Physical Therapist Assistant. After I graduated from school, I met my wife in that last year as a senior. Then after we after I decided that we're gonna go to, I was gonna go to college, she actually offered to me if I would I'd be interested in carpooling with her out to school every day to cut and save a little bit of money. Little did I know that the multiple hours upon hours upon hours in the car during these carpools would be the time that I would get to know where the most and the fact that that was going to spark you know the rest of our lives. I was only appreciative at the time of the fact that we were saving money but I wasn't appreciative of the fact that, holy buckets, I was going to build a relationship during that time and now looking back hindsight's 20/20. I'm super appreciative of the fact that we went out and hey we got to know each other during that during those carpool times. Shortly after that seems like a blink in the eye I graduated from college. We started I started the typical job the year before I graduated we had our first daughter she is 6 years old now. Then after I did graduate or after I started the typical job then we actually built our first house. Fast forward about two years after I started the PTA job, a friend invited me to lunch and he didn't really specify why he wanted to invite me to lunch. He just said hey can you go today I said sure why not. During this lunch, we sat down at in restaurants over in St. Cloud and he's really excited like he was just like jacked out of his mind and I thought what the heck is this deal. What is going on like what is you know it's just kind of goofy and he basically was all business and he didn't want to waste my time and he says "Hey I just came back from this guy named Grant Cardon's event" and I said "okay yeah?" He said yeah "I just I just bought this whole software for an entire year that's called ClickFunnels and I don't know anything about it I don't really wanna know anything about it but I'm super excited about this software and I you know because I don't wanna think about it I was just wondering if he was wondering if I would basically manage this software for me?" I kind of looked at him like what the heck are you talking about a man like I I have no idea at all and eventually I said yes because it sounded kind of like techie and tech related. So it was pretty much right up my alley. So then because it was more tech related versus marketing things I thought sure why not because I had zero experience with marketing before that so I started my journey with ClickFunnels. I just learned the software and I learned the tech side of it and I learned everything I could possibly consume just about ClickFunnels and we did not have the success that first year at all. I tried and I tried and I tried to you know build up funnels and I build out landing pages and do it and use the actionetics and use all these different things and that just didn't work for me so I was kind of disappointed but then eventually the year expired and then I I kind of it kind of just died after that so that made me but the the trouble though is that it gave me a spark Anna gave me a oh my gosh this this whole marketing world is just amazing like it just blew me up so for a while there I tried the affiliate program with click funnels that also did work off well for me but then I was starting to learn more about just the marketing concepts that clickfunnels was based on versus just click phones themselves so my my evolution kind of changed to where then I was moving towards marketing concepts and the whole overall marketing picture eventually this led me more to more towards like chatbots and email automations and I'll talk about those a lot during these podcasts but with these chat bots it was a way to deliver the same type of information that clickfunnels was delivering except it was sent straight through messenger and it wasn't done through email and when email open rates rates I mean a worldwide standard of like 20 to 30 percent somewhere in that ballpark and the fact that chat bots are able to get opened at about 80 to 90 percent like my mind just exploded and because the fact that like just that alone was just I don't know rational enough to to justify like moving more towards chat bots so I deep tove into chat bots and different automations and different technologies as far as that goes because then I get that again I was relating more towards the tech side I wasn't it wasn't about the marketing thing anymore then I was more towards the tech and I really really enjoyed that aspect of it but again kind of came to a roadblock because it's such a new thing that people really just aren't responsive to it I've talked to so many people about about chat BOTS and I've had a couple opportunities with clients and those type of things but I've you know it's just like hitting a roadblock still so eventually I evolved from the front even from the chat BOTS and stuff and now it's just like I'm super interested in just business and just but general business and just trying to learn as much as possible as much as you can do within a business and building a business and this in this process that is such a struggle to go from I don't know just nothing at all and not sure how much money should stick into it because you're not sure if you're ever gonna get anything back out of it and just building up this business and taking these principles that you keep learning and in consuming through all the different social media channels and then just applying them and I think that that's where a lot of people start to get stuck is where it's super easy to consume boatloads of information and consume more and more and more and more information but then in order to apply it is the next trick and that's where I've found myself getting stuck in this in this world is where I just oh ha you know I can I can take it all in I could read for days I considered scrolling my phone for hours on end but then to apply that information to a concept is a struggle so now nowadays I help and teach other people about these about these marketing concepts and chatbots and information that I've learned over the over the course of years now and I help people to try to kind of see that see what they're all about and see that light and that's one really big reason that I want to start this podcast is because I want to deliver my deliver my information to more people out there in the world and I want to try to just show people that you know marketing isn't such a sleazy thing in the world even though it kind of gets a bad reputation and chat BOTS and automations aren't such but aren't such a bad thing either and I want to try to help you know kind of shed some light on on that that dark ish place I think that a lot a lot of good things are coming especially with with Gary Vee and his excitement over just marketing in general and I think that he helps to show people that you it's a necessary thing within business with Russell Brunson and his all of his concepts that he puts out and they talk about I think you're all fantastic and are things even the Tony Robbins of the world you know those type of people are just absolutely fantastic because they're helping to try to bring a light to the subject so that's really it and that's where I'm at today is I'm trying to just help businesses help entrepreneurs help people to kind of see that see that light and that concept and that's that's one big thing that I hope to do through this podcast it's something that's I always hear people say that you should do things that scare the crap out of you and I don't I never understood that until I really started to try to put myself out there so things like Facebook lives where just scares you or things like this like podcasts where it just scares the heck out of you and I never understood why but people always said that it's one way to make yourself to force yourself to grow and that's a hundred percent true because I want to be able to expand my life my brain my everything and I want to just continue to grow versus just kind of shrivel up into a little ball and just succumb to whatever the world throws at you so that's my that's another big kind of a selfish goal of myself is to try to grow through this podcast so I really I think that's it for my origin story that's basically my whole spiel as far as where I am at today I really really greatly appreciate you listening to this podcast if you've made it this far I really look forward to talking more about these marketing concepts and all these different things and about my about the things that are happening in my life as well and again I appreciate you listening and I really look forward to chatting with you more in the next one you take care.

WHAT IS YOUR THUMBPRINT? By Matt Manero Let’s face it, average sucks. Average anything sucks. Having an average company, average marriage or average life just downright sucks. In my opinion, it is not worth doing at all. If you are going to do it average, don’t do it at all. Make the choice to leave a meaningful thumbprint or just simply quit. Ask yourself…what will my thumbprint be? Go a step further…what will my legacy be? It’s the most important question you should be asking yourself each day. What thumbprint/impact/contribution will I make on my life and my career? Everyone has the power to place their thumbprint on everything they touch. I don’t care if you are picking up the trash, pulling weeds, leading a company, raising kids, or creating a happy marriage, NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT YOUR THUMBPRINT ON IT ALL. Why? Because so few people are doing it. In this economy, people are comfortable, satisfied, even downright lazy. It is a gift for all of us. When others are complacent…it is our time to pounce. Here are 4 tips to help you create your own thumbprint…NOW. 1. Have a plan. Stop wandering around within your life. Dream more, visualize your future more, build what I call a “lifestyle by design”. You get one shot at this thing called your life, so max it out. Take the time to see your future, and build a plan to make it a reality. 2. Go big or go small…either is OKAY. I don’t think you must change the world…but you do have to be in control of your world. Start with a big idea like climate change, or a small idea like dressing better. I really don’t care if you want to change the world, or just change your wardrobe…I just want you to get on a path to make an impact of some kind. 3. Commit to greatness. Average anything doesn’t matter anymore. If you want to put your thumbprint on your career, your life or your business, greatness is the foundation. Sure, you can make videos in front of your rented mansion or Lambo, but unless you have a real expertise behind it, it will fade. As my friend Grant Cardone says, “BE GREAT. NOTHING ELSE PAYS.” 4. Be consistent. Doing something once doesn’t count. Putting your thumbprint on something means you will consistently perform. You will show up, even when you don’t want to. You will have the tough conversations with yourself or others, and you will do it all often. Doing something every once and a while kills momentum and confidence. Putting your thumbprint on anything requires consistency. The challenge has been made to you by me. Plan your thumbprint, make it big or small, get great and do it often.
