Guest Bio:John will tell you, “how you love and treat people will open more doors than you can imagine.” In fact, one gifting experience (Brooks Brother experiment) has opened more doors than $10 Million in advertising could ever do.After applying principles of generosity learned from “Attorney Paul,” John started selling the largest deals in Cutco history out of 1.5 million other reps and distributors. Yes. 1.5 million. Not only was he gifting knives but he was being asked to speak on stages around the country to teach sales and marketing teams how to build relationships in unconventional ways. Simple but powerful things like focusing your care on the executive's spouse, the assistant, and kids.Ruhlin Group started in 2000 and quickly broadened gifting options and strategies, but many of the original principles never changed. Knowing how and when to give gifts is just as important as what to gift. These “minor” details and expert knowledge have been tested and proven over a decade to bring a guaranteed “wow” to any industry from financial services to manufacturing widgets.Today John and his team have created gift packages for some of the largest companies and pro sports teams in the world, but their mission and heart is to serve and take relationships for mid-sized, privately owned businesses to a new level using their Proven Process.After spending a long time deliberating on things like is self publishing a book a good idea, John decided to write a book that would share his ideology and the way he works in his industry to reach new levels of success.

Guest Bio:John came up with the idea to launch a daily podcast interviewing today's most successful and inspiring entrepreneurs when he realized no one else was doing it.All of his favorite podcasts – ones that shared interviews with individuals who were doing amazing things and leading inspiring lives – were once per week, and some of them only once every other week.As a Commercial Real Estate Broker, John found himself in the car every single day driving back and forth to appointments wishing there was more motivational content available to him on-demand.That's when he had his own AH-HA moment and decided that he would be the one to create that content.The name EOFire, short for “Entrepreneurs On Fire”, was inspired by the late, great Stuart Scott, who was famous not only for being an incredible sportscaster, but also for a phrase he loved and used often: “HE'S ON FIRE!”Scott would use the term in reference to a player who was on such a roll that he couldn't be stopped.When John heard Scott use the phrase during the 2012 playoffs, he knew it was a perfect fit for his podcast that would share the journeys of entrepreneurs who couldn't be stopped.

Listen in to this episode with Chis and John Yax! We rap about their success in building brick and mortar yoga studios and what entrepreneurial skills are necessary for yoga teaching and studio ownership.   What you'll get out of tuning in: How to weigh the pros and cons of becoming an employee vs independent contractor How passion and talent don't equate to success in business Why yoga studios would be more successful if they niched down. How it's hurting not only their success but the success of their students.    Links Mentioned in Episode: Yax Yoga Concepts Yax Yoga Concepts - Facebook Have a conversation Free Master Class   Show Highlights: Discovering who you want to serve Why yoga studios often fail What yoga studio owners are missing by not creating high ticket items   Timestamps:  10:00 Becoming an employee vs. an independent contractor  14:50 The biggest mistake they made when opening their studios  23:15 The solution to the commodification of yoga through the high barrier to enter offers   Favorite Quotes: “It's interesting, a lot of our teacher training graduates end up at studios teaching as employees initially to cut their teeth and get experience. But at some point a lot of them feel the entrepreneurial spirit; they want to become independent contractors and start to build their own thing. But just like anything, we have to study it. We have to understand what it means to be an entrepreneur.” - John Yax  “I strongly believe yoga is for everyone. But I can't be for everyone, our studios are not for everybody, the way I teach yoga is not for everybody. It's for a specific ‘who'. The challenge is to figure out who that ‘who' is.” - John Yax “A lot of what I've seen in studios is that they don't grow. They might hit a sustainable revenue that can kinda support a lifestyle business but not one that is growing, with an increased profit margin over time. For most entrepreneurs, you're looking to grow with an increased profit margin over time, which usually entails strategy and innovation.” - Cate Stillman   Guest BIO: John and Chris grew up in a small house with a big family. The level of love their Mom gave disguised the level of struggle and hardship of raising six kids on her own. This fueled them to spend decades forging deep practices in martial arts, yoga, and meditation while studying and applying business strategies to make a living doing what they love... And over that time they've built a million-dollar brick and mortar yoga business… eating, sleeping and breathing the entrepreneurial lifestyle… Through decades of experience leading heart-based businesses, John and Chris have helped transform the lives of thousands of people through yoga lifestyle coaching, in studios and on stages around the world.

Stay on top of market trends and follow where the industry is going, not just where it is at the moment. Be clear about what YOU want (08:36- 10:29)To do well in business, you have to be a specialist in your field. Narrow down your own passions and talents, and approach clients who are in need of what you’re best at. This way, you’re bringing your consumer excellent value and doing something that fulfills you. Relational approaches are more effective than transactional ones (12:54- 14:25)Have a relational approach to your business, rather than an exclusively transactional one. By building relationships and fostering them over a longer period, you’re maintaining value. Stop forcing yourself to work harder by constantly finding new agents and buyers, and focus instead on the clients you have now. With tech companies like Amazon getting involved in real estate, it can present new challenges for mortgage professionals. The only way to maintain your position as a top loan officer is by becoming a master in your field and fostering the relationships you already have. The important thing is to make sure you aren’t discouraged too easily. If you’ve had it in you to become a top officer in the past, you have it in you to do it again.   Guest Bio- John is the architect and founder of Downs Capital Mortgage Team.

One of the easiest ways to jeopardize your company’s productivity is by hiring the wrong team. How can you avoid this mistake? What can you do to make sure you’re hiring the best people for the job? On this episode, I talk with one of the world’s most sought-after real estate consultants, Jon Cheplak, who has developed systems around human development, and he shares how we can build high-performing teams for our businesses.       Three Things We Learned From This Episode Approach your business from a human perspective Don’t view your business as a real estate company. Your focus should be on the agents working for you, and their specific human needs. Being invested in your team’s experiences and wellbeing will hugely benefit your retention and growth.   Pay attention to how you hire You want to hire the best agents for your company. The way to do this is by advertising positions on a separate webpage. Agents are likely to spend 400 times longer on a careers-based website, and spend most of that time looking at the training and business proposals you provide. Take advantage of these facts and offer as much value as possible.   Your admin person is the most important person in your office While you may be the CEO, you are not the most important person at your company. The person working in administration has a finger on the pulse of your company’s culture. They’re a huge part of your retention and recruiting, so make sure you’ve hired the right person for the job.   Guest Bio John is a sought-after Real Estate Leadership and Productivity Coach & Consultant. He is the creator of a system and process that speeds up growth and increases profits through the attraction, development and retention of productive agents.

Independent brokerages offer many great opportunities and benefits, but they require a leader with vision and focus. Why is culture so important in this model, and how do you make it something real and tangible at every level of the business? How can you create a collaborative environment? On this episode, independent brokerage leader John Costello shares on what it takes to go from 20 to 170 agents in 2.5 years.      Three Things We Learned From This Episode Why John switched from flipping to buy-and-hold As more contractors have gotten into flipping, the profit margins have shrunk. You’ll find yourself bidding against people who can do the work cheaper. John switched his strategy to a "buy and hold" model. From a profitability standpoint, putting 20-30% down and then earning between $500 and $1,000 a month is a solid return.     The benefits of livestream training Offering livestream training to agents creates a huge learning opportunity at their own convenience. It’s evergreen, they can consume the content from anywhere, and they can never give the excuse that training wasn't made accessible to them.   The biggest mistake agents make One of the biggest mistakes new agents make is jumping onto too many things to the point where they never really get any traction. What really helps you get moving in the beginning is consistency and long-term thinking, not short-term gratification.   Independent brokerages are ships that can move and steer easily and quickly, but running them correctly still requires planning and real intention. Success for independent and non-franchise brokerages comes down to having the right partners and being very culture-driven. As the leader, you have to have a clear vision, verbalize what it is, and then build a plan around it.   Guest Bio John is the founder/owner of Costello Real Estate and Investments.
