How to generate more sales w/ Bob Burg

Bob Burg; Sales expert, Speaker, and Author. Today’s Episode Summary: On today’s podcast, I have a very special guest, Mr. Bob Burg; a sales expert, speaker, and author of several books on sales, marketing and influence, with total book sales approaching two million copies. Bob started his career 40 years ago with a sales system that changed his destiny in the world of sales forever and now he is helping other people to grow in sales. Bob also has a library and has turned the knowledge and wisdom of other people into his own through its right application. Today Bob is sharing with us his wisdom of 40 years on sales and he is also entertaining questions of our Clubhouse audience.   Bob explains that selling a product/service is not just about going out and telling people about it. It’s about having a well-proven system that guarantees to generate more sales. Such type of sales system is usually based on logical and specific set of ‘how to’ principles which can help you to predictably achieve more sales. Secondly, don’t make “money” as your prime reason of sales. Rather focus on providing “value” to your customers because money is just a reward for hitting the target of serving others. If you will approach selling this way, people will willingly exchange their money with the value, they will also be your walking ambassadors, and they will refer you to everybody. As a salesperson, you should focus on the wants and desires of your customer. You should provide them value that THEY think is a value, not what YOU think is a value. If you are a Solopreneur or you are running a small company then you should focus on making enough money so that you could afford to hire people who could take care of your administrative work. And if you will not hire someone at some stage or point, you won't be able to grow sustainably. If you want that your employees, particularly young employees, follow the core values of your company then you should remind them again and again what your core values are and how your business wants them to work. Secondly, your own actions must be aligned with your core values otherwise your employees won’t follow these values either. If you want to increase charges for your service, first make sure you are providing a significant amount of value. Secondly, calculate the number of hours you are giving to a client (whose rates you want to increase); if you are investing X amount of time on a client, that X you can give to 2 clients, you should better increase your rates. These are few sales tips from our honorable guest & sales expert; Mr. Bob Burg. All of these tips have the potential to generate more sales and bring more money into your hands. If you are selling any product/service and your sales are stagnant and you want to grow them then don't miss this episode. You will get a mind-changing sales approach in this podcast and it will help you to generate more sales for your business. To learn more about “How to generate more sales”, take advantage of this podcast and listen to the 40 years of Bob's experience just in 1 hr &13 min. What You Will Learn from this Episode: How Bob discovered a well-proven sales system to boost his sales? Definition of a “sales system” that can give you the desired result? Why do salespeople fail? Relationship of personal development with sales. What is the best way to approach selling? Importance of providing value to the customer. Concept of ‘Price’ vs. ‘Value’. ‘Value’ from customer’s perspective vs. ‘value’ from a salesman’s perspective. Importance of ‘asking questions’ and ‘listening’ in the field of sales. Importance of Sandler’s sales model. Books of Bob and their impact on people’s lives. What you will learn from Q&A session b/w audience & Bob Burg How you can increase sales if you are a solopreneur or running a small company? How you can engage your employees with your company values? Is there any incongruence between “being a Go-Giver” & “having a targeted market”? How to balance “being good to everyone” & being strategically good? How to be authentically curious & genuinely ask questions in any meeting or conversation?

And when you hit this target, you will get a reward and that reward will come in the form of money. Remember that money is simply the reward for hitting the target of serving others.” –Bob Burg “Great salesmanship is never about the salesperson or product or service. Great salesmanship is about the other person. It’s about adding immense value to the lives of those you touch.” –Bob Burg “Money is simply an echo of value.” –Bob Burg “You don’t make money out of a hobby.” –Bob Burg “Money follows the value” –Bob Burg “If you are serving a client, your goal is to get them to the finish line; your goal is to get them the result that you agreed upon. That result doesn’t matter how much money they are paying you.” –Corey Berrier “Will it make money? It isn’t a bad question. It is a great question; it is just a bad first question. The first question should be does it serve? Will it bring immense value to other human beings?” –Bob Burg “Value is always in the eyes of the beholder. It’s not what we think is valuable about this OR what we think they should think is valuable about this. It’s what THEY think is valuable about this.” –Bob Burg “If you want to be curious, MAKE A DECISION TO BE CURIOUS. Because action inspires feeling.” –Bob Burg   “Solopreneurs first do everything on their own and then little by little they find right people who can replace them in certain areas.” –Bob Burg   Bob Burg’s Website: Website: https://burg.com/   My Website & Social Media Handles: Website: https://salesceo.co/ Facebook:  @Corey Berrier https://www.facebook.com/corey.berrier Instagram:  @coreyberrier https://www.instagram.com/coreyberrier/ @successfullifepodcast https://www.instagram.com/successfullifepodcast/ Twitter: @ successfullifepodcast https://twitter.com/success40324744 Linkedin:  Corey Berrier- Successful Life Podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreysalescoach/ YouTube: Successful Life Podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrPl4lUyKV7hZxoTksQDsyg/featured

As an entrepreneur, that internal struggle made him unproductive, very sensitive to any threat to his business, and very poor at making decisions that would put food on the table for his family.

Since founding his company The Freedom Specialist, he has helped hundreds of people through programs, presentations, coaching, and retreats to discover that… stress doesn’t have to be “a fact of life”… and that happiness is a skill anyone can learn.

While personal growth is incredibly important for moving our careers and ourselves forward, it is not something that happens on its own. We need to set time aside to be intentional about our growth! Today's guest is Bob Doyle, President and CEO of the Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants (MICPA), and he joins us on the show to talk about how he is investing in his personal growth. We begin our conversation with the idea that everybody wants to grow and get better and our intention to discuss how we can actually accomplish that. Bob has a whole list of personal habits and areas that he is trying to improve on, many of which fall into the category of what are conventionally called soft skills. For Bob, soft skills are so important for success that they might better be reframed as 'success skills.' We dive into Bob's morning routine, hearing him talk about how he begins the day with journaling and gratitude. We zoom into the importance of these two practices, highlighting the idea that journaling can help us to be more reflective and shift our mindsets towards becoming more grateful for challenges because they are often what make us grow the most! Bob shares a great quote about approaching self-improvement in baby steps, and then we dive into an exchange about how we can rethink 2020 as a year that encouraged growth in all of us. Toward the end of our conversation, Bob shares his current intention of becoming a better listener – a more active and empathetic listener. We explore how much people appreciate being heard and how listening well can make you a better leader and human being.

Episode Summary:  Bob and Kathy Hubbard spent their early professional lives in the corporate world but, because of their love for swimming and the ocean, they were led to run a competitive swim program called the Phoenix Swim Club during the economic downturn of the late 1980s.  Frustrated by the lack of profitability, they narrowed their focus to giving swim lessons in the summer of 1993. At last, they had found their passion, and in the spring of 1998, they ventured out of the PSC to teach swim lessons wherever they could—a “guerilla swim school”, they called themselves. The Hubbard’s opened their first swim school in North Phoenix in October 1999, their second in Peoria in 2007, their third in Mesa in 2010, and their latest in Goodyear in 2020.  Joining us today alongside Bob is Mike Geyer, President of Exceptional Water Systems. The two talk about their current partnership and how Hubbard Family Swim School has benefited immensely thanks to Mike’s expertise, incredible systems, and meticulous approach to health and cleanliness.  We discuss the Hubbard Family Swim School philosophy, the importance of water and air quality, the ideal turnover rate, the operations side of running the school, and safety standards. Mike also gives us a full breakdown of the equipment room that you don’t want to miss!  Topics Discussed:  01:07 - How Bob became involved in the swim school business  06:24 - What exactly goes into building a swim school?  10:26 - Bob’s expectations for the business in 2021 with COVID-19 in mind  12:40 - The Hubbard Family Swim School Philosophy  15:52 - The importance of prioritizing water & air quality  22:41 - How Mike evaluates water safety and the health aspect of water  27:36 - Philosophy to kids get comfortable underwater, not just on top of the water  29:45 - Operations side of the school and preparation for accidents  32:35 - How Bob and Mike met and how they do business today  35:35 - Mike walks us through his pump room  55:33 - Hubbard’s safety standards and how their staff is trained to stay vigilant  1:00:28 - Mike’s love for working with people who truly want to make a difference  1:04:14 - Mike’s testament of Bob’s commitment to his employees and clients  1:08:58 - How Mike communicates with Bob’s maintenance team  1:10:23 - Bob and Mike’s parting thoughts on the industry in general  Sponsors:  Pentair  Lyon Financial    Connect with Guest:  Episode Webpage  Hubbard Family Swim School:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  Twitter  YouTube  LinkedIn    Exceptional Water Systems:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  Twitter  YouTube  LinkedIn    Connect with Pool Chasers:  Pool Chasers Website   Pool Chasers Instagram  Pool Chasers Facebook  Pool Chasers FB Group  Pool Chasers Twitter  Pool Chasers YouTube  Pool Chasers Patreon    Key Quotes from Episode:  One of the things we pride ourselves on is we run our business, financially, very soundly, and with good financial monthly reports so we don’t get surprised. ~Bob  Water quality is important for the kids—our students—but it’s more important for the teachers. ~Bob  Instructors, in my book, are the number one people in this industry, across the board, that suffer the most from being in the water. That’s due to all the chemicals, but also due to all the new people using the pool on a daily basis. ~Mike  Most of the time, what we do is research and develop systems of ozone, oxygen, and CO2. Those are the main elements we use. We add very few other products to the water to keep it fresh and clean. ~Mike  We want the kids to be comfortable under the water, not on top of the water. We talk about being one with the water so that they’re engaged with the water and not fighting it. ~Bob  If you could do anything with your child under the age of six, you should put them in the water on a regular basis. There’s no question they will become smarter, brighter, and faster. ~Bob  If you’re running a swim school, keep in mind the three-legged stool: It’s your water, it’s your teachers, and it’s your service. ~Bob

Some are shyer than others and sometimes we get in our way of really getting to know one another. Bob has several books on the topic (we will link below), it all starts and ends with questions and answers. Now, let us ask YOU a few questions - What have you done recently to get to know your co-workers? How do you listen? What is stopping you from making that first step? Let us know and tune in to Bob's books and blog so we can help you get there!    Taking Opportunities    We have been through a lot in 2020. I know it sounds like a broken record but we, as a society, and better yet, as a faith, have never been more tested together than we are now. It matters that we are still here and healthy. It is time to not lose sight of the bigger picture and start taking opportunities that are given to us. How can we spread the word of God? What situations have we been ignoring that can blossom growth in our relationships and our everyday work? These are the questions we need to be asking ourselves because we all miss 100 percent of the shots we don't take! Let's grab these open doors while we see them and make the most of our situation while we still can. Sometimes during adversity, we make the greatest strides to our goals!      Interview Quote   "If you want to connect with people, if you want to see change take place - you ask them questions and let them discover their own answers"   Connect with Bob   Bob's LinkedIn Cru Website Bob's Blog Download all of Bob's Books here     Connect With Follower Of One Join us over in our Online Community, get social with us; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Text LEARNERS to 44222 Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12 Notes: Sustaining Excellence = Passion for what they do Persistence - "Life is lumpy." People fall and have to dust themselves off. Character - Must be trustworthy, caring, and sensitive to others Values driven - "When things go wrong, take the pain" Bill Gates is an example of sustained excellence - "His persistence, his relationship with his wife Melinda. He's a great example of sustained excellence." Bob describes the time early in his career when he made big mistakes and the board fired him. He said, "I needed to learn strategy. You can't blame your followers. You must take 100% ownership." Read the book, The Best and The Brightest by David Halberstam "You need humility, you need to learn, you need emotional intelligence." How he felt when he got fired? "Unbelievably sad. It hung heavy on my shoulders." There are two ways to respond: Be a victim Be introspective "I remember the moment vividly. I was reading The Best and The Brightest. Hubris was the problem. They weren't going to the front lines to understand what was happening. I thought, Oh my God, Halberstam could be talking about me." "Our job is to LISTEN, get feedback, and fix it." As a leader, you must have the willingness and ability to define reality, not what you want it to be. Read Max Dupree - The Art of Leadership Understand The Stockdale Paradox - “You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose —with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.” ~ James Stockdale Building trust in a crisis: The 4 elements to be trustworthy: Sincerity - "Your public and private conversations should be the same" Competence - It's not the same as never making a mistake. Reliability - "Make promises. Deliver on those promises" Care - "Treat people well. Care for their well being. It's not transactional. Treat them with dignity and respect." How Bob stays so sharp at age 82: Lots of exercise - He trains 5 days a week Time with grandchildren Planning - "I still have a lot of gas left in the tank" Have a dream -- "Happiness is a mood. You can design a mood." Satisfaction Peace Fulfillment The four primary functions of a leader: Strategy - The CEO must shepherd the strategy People - Get the right people in the right jobs Communication - Align all constituencies behind the business. People must understand the mission Evolve - The world changes. Find a small team of experts to identify the issue, and leave the rest of the team alone to do their work "You need thrill customers continuously." "People will always be evaluating you as a leader. They look at your body language, and see how you respond." Hiring qualities Bob looks for in a leader: Crisp thorough about the job assignment. Complementarity - The use Gallup's strengths. Focus on strengths and them filling a gap on the current team. Fit the culture. Need to be able to work with a team and collaborate.

Matt and Garrett are both extremely excited about today’s episode which features a very special guest that all Ninja’s are going to recognize. Bob Burg is the author of a number of books on sales, marketing and influence, with total book sales approaching two million copies, and is a co-author of The Go-Giver, a book which has sold over 950,000 copies, and which anyone attending a Ninja Installation receives. He is also a highly sought after speaker who has shared the platform with notables including today’s top thought leaders, broadcast personalities, Olympic athletes and political leaders including a former United States President. Bob is an advocate, supporter and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve.   He begins the conversation by sharing the background of The Go-Giver and reviewing both its main message and its congruence with Ninja Selling. He then goes into great detail about the 5 Laws around which the book is built, complete with explanatory examples. Throughout this analysis, such notions at the difference between price and value, being in flow with your entire database, Psycho Cybernetics, and the ways in which people can shift their mindset into the giving mode are explored. Bob and Garrett’s first meeting is also held up as exemplifying one of these laws. The parallels between Ninja Selling and Bob’s book and the success to which they both lead are revealed in this episode today, confirming the fact that ‘leading with your heart’ is not just the right thing to do, but that, in the end, it is also the most profitable.   Episode Highlights:   The background on The Go-Giver and its main message Its congruence with Ninja Selling The 5 Laws the book is built around and some examples of them The difference between price and value Being in flow with your entire database How Bob and Garrett met Psycho Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz What people use to shift their mindset into the giving mode   Quotes:   “Shifting your focus from getting to giving, and when we say ‘giving’ in this context, we simply mean constantly and consistently providing immense value to others…is not only a more pleasant way of conducting business, it’s the most financially profitable way as well.”   “When you are absolutely laser-focused on making their lives better…you’re creating that benevolent context for the sale or for the listing to take place.”   “In a free market based environment, there should always be two profits with every sale. The buyer profits and the seller profits.”   “Money…is the thunder, if you will, to value’s lightning.”   “The more people whose lives you touch with the exceptional value you provide, the more money with which you’ll be rewarded.”   “All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like, and trust.”   “You will, indeed, have what we call an ‘army of personal walking ambassadors’.”   “When you…show up as yourself, day after day, week after week, month after month, people feel good about you, people feel comfortable with you, people feel safe with you because they know who they’re getting.”   “It will unleash your business.”   “Giving and receiving are not opposite concepts, they’re simply two sides of the very same coin, and they work in tandem…you’re a giver and a receiver.”   “You have to be open to receiving when those opportunities show up.”   “I think every realtor should be a Ninja salesperson.”   “You are a great model of success for everybody.”   Links:   www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli     Bob’s homepage:   https://burg.com/   Bob’s Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/burgbob   Bob’s Twitter:   https://twitter.com/bobburg   Bob’s free mini-course:   https://thegogiver.com/selling/

Bob Leonetti has shown more regular people, just like you, how to make money with real estate paper and low-money-down note and paper strategies, than almost anyone else in the United States. With more than 25 years of teaching/coaching experience, thousands of satisfied students, eight books, and countless educational seminars, video, audio, and other real estate finance products to his credit, no one knows the ins and outs of the note and paper business like Bob does. Formerly a licensed Mortgage Banker in 12 states, he took Success Financial Services Group, a company he founded in the spare bedroom of his house in 1992, to Wall Street and the publicly traded markets in 2000. Since 1992, he and his company have funded over $250 Million in privately held and defaulted mortgages, and the principals of his current company, National Note Funding, boast over 50 years in the note business between the two of them. Investor, speaker, author, and teacher, Bob is involved in numerous private-money raising deals and, through notes, regularly assists private lenders in obtaining returns far in excess of what they could earn in traditional bank-type investments. He currently spends his time investing, coaching, and working on his new book, Live Life with Passion – TODAY. What you'll learn about in this episode: What the “paper” niche within real estate is, and how it serves as an incredibly profitable “best kept secret” that few investors know about How understanding various segments of the paper niche has changed Bob's life, and how Bob profits from deals in the “pretty paper” segment Why cash today is worth much more than cash in the future, and how this is the key to the note business Why Bob loves “ugly paper”, how he learned about ugly paper the hard way, and how Bob profits from working in ugly paper Bob shares his target prices and values for notes, and he discusses his expertise in buying notes shortly after they are created How Bob calculates his payments and yield on a note, and how paying less than the face value of a note increases the yield Bob describes his essential “calculator course”, teaching real estate investors the vital skill of using a financial calculator How to get registered for Ron and Bob's paper course and get free access to Bob's calculator course Resources: Website: www.TheMentorPodcast.com/paper Website: http://paperpowernoteinvesting.com/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/bobleonetti/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/BobLeonettiInvesting/ Twitter: @BobLeonetti Additional resources: Website: www.TheMentorPodcast.com Website: www.RonLeGrand.com Get Ron's $599 Wholesaling course for FREE when you join his Gold Club for ONLY $59 a month! – https://thementorpodcast.com/GC90

Full-time blogger, Bob Lotich talks about how he eclipsed his corporate income after blogging for just 9 months and the benefits of taking a sabbatical. Guest Biography Bob Lotich is the founder of the award-winning blog SeedTime.com and podcast SeedTime Money. He nerds out on experimenting with his money with small things like budgeting hacks, money-saving apps, and big things like radical giving, year-long sabbaticals, and other timeless financial instruction from the Bible. Bob is a Certified Educator in Personal Finance (CEPF®) and started SeedTime (formerly ChristianPF) in 2007 with a passion to help fellow believers learn how to manage their money wisely. His personal mission (and the SeedTime mission) is to make, save, grow, and give money to benefit others. After all, life isn’t about the accumulation of things but is about how we can make the world a better place by giving. Once he realized that by paying off his debt, he could fund God’s Kingdom instead of paying interest to banks, it provided a deeper level of motivation to get out of debt. That sealed the deal, and Bob and his wife Linda spent the next couple years paying off their $46k of debt in their first years of marriage.  Bob also has a passion for helping entrepreneurs get their business ideas off the ground and has written 2 books helping bloggers and wanna-be-bloggers build and grow their blogs. When Bob isn’t working, he is likely hanging with his wife Linda and their kids, Alden, Valerie, and Oliver, working on his garden, eating some artisanal dark chocolate, playing guitar, or riding his motorcycle. Sometimes all at the same time. In this episode, you'll learn: How Bob became a full-time blogger and blogging as a business. What Bob learned from taking a full year off from work, with no email or social media. Make sure you listen to the end to hear about Bob's big giving goals, like giving away nearly 40% of his income!

The importance of writing to budget and being flexible with screenplay changes. What it’s like writing for television and how American television has transformed in recent years.

Today… we're talking with Bob Burg.  For 30 years, Bob has been a successful author and speaker.  His books have sold millions of copies and he wows audiences… whether it's a group of 50 or 15,000 — and he's shared the stage with top thought leaders, celebrities, Olympic athletes, and even former US Presidents.  I consider Bob a mentor and a friend, and since I trust his perspectives in the best and the worst of times… I wanted to bring him on to talk about where we are at as a world… and where we need to focus as leaders, entrepreneurs, and globe changers as we move into this new normal.     Listen To The Podcast:     Bob Burg RESOURCES: Bob Burg's website: burg.com Bob's Author Page on Amazon: Click here     MORE ABOUT THE EPISODE: Bob Burg has written 10 books on sales, marketing, and influence.  Those books have sold millions of copies.  And although I can say each is incredible, it's his book The Go-Giver that's had the biggest impact on me.  In fact… it was a divine appointment that I had with that book… during a really low point in my career... that helped me to stay on track and get to where we are today! Specifically, the 5 Laws of Success from the Book helped me to focus on the RIGHT things and I think they're even more applicable right now! Value: Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment. Compensation: Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them. Influence: Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first. Authenticity: The most valuable gift you have is to offer yourself. Receptivity: The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.   I consider Bob a mentor and a friend. And since I trust his perspectives in the best and the worst of times… I wanted to bring him on to talk about where we are as a world… and where we need to focus as leaders… entrepreneurs and globe changers… as we move into this “new normal.” We'll also dig into how the “Go-Giver” Laws can help to guide us right now too.  Enjoy!   MORE ON THE EPISODE: 0:02 What to expect today 1:00 How Bob impacted Mitch 3:33 Conversation starts 5:20 The importance of thinking about what you are thinking about 7:30 The five laws of focus 9:13 Deep dive into the laws 15:59 How authenticity leads to a better life 21:21 The truth about giving and receiving 22:36 How to thrive in a free market 23:40 Embarrassing healthy thoughts around wealth 26:59 What to focus on now 27:00 Accepting the truth 33:00 Wisdom of the week 36:25 Mitch's biggest takeaways     WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! So… I know one of my favorite parts of the conversation was on the subject of “truth.”   How leaders need to focus on the “truth” as they make their decisions.  And with all the things that are up in the air right now… that really struck me.  We may not feel like we have all the answers right now… but we still have the “truth” of our current restrictions and guidance on what's safe.  So we have to navigate in that “truth” until those restrictions/guidance change.   That was big for me.  How about you? I want to hear from YOU!  What clicked with you? What got you thinking? What might you apply from what Bob shared?  Leave a comment below and let me know! Check other Podcasts here:

Bob Fraser is on a mission to help investors take advantage of one of the most effective and overlooked avenues of real estate investing: residential mortgage notes. As Founder and Principal of Aspen Funds, Bob has purchased more than 1,000 mortgage notes earning double-digit annual returns without the risk and volatility of traditional investing options. Bob has personal experience with the unpredictable nature of public markets. In the 90's, he launched a tech company, raised $44 million in venture capital, and grew it to over 300 employees. Then the tech bubble burst and he transitioned to finance and investing, becoming CFO for several organizations and running a hedge fund. In 2012, he met business partner Jim Maffuccio, and the two found an alternative way to invest in real estate without the volatility of traditional options. By purchasing discounted residential real estate notes in the American heartland they discovered a high yield, liquid, asset-secured investment that produced consistently superior returns without all the risk. Better yet? They could work with homeowners to help them stay in their homes. Everyone wins. With Aspen Funds, Bob uses his 20-plus years of experience in finance to oversee the company's mortgage note portfolios. A Magna Cum Laude graduate in computer science from U.C. Berkeley and former Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award-winner, Bob often makes bold, contrarian predictions about the economy and technology, most of which have already come true. What you'll learn about in this episode: How Bob got involved in the housing market during the recovery from the 2008 market crash, and how he got involved in mortgage notes How the current housing market and economic conditions are very different from the conditions that caused the 2008 crash How President Obama's JOBS Act opened the door to a new level of accessibility for private investment opportunities How Bob's “lienlord” niche works, and how it allows investors to buy notes for pennies on the dollar and create powerful cash flow Why a second position mortgage isn't a bad investment and how the default rate of second mortgages during the 2008 crash was just 5% Why investors are often surprised to learn that they can foreclose from second position and how Bob handles a situation where the first mortgage becomes delinquent How Bob transitioned from working as a computer programmer into real estate after the dotcom crash and how working with the right mentors made all the difference Why Bob recommends you read The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell and The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor Why if you create a note with a good interest rate, yield, and a solid pay history, groups like Bob's company Aspen Funds will be happy to buy it from you Resources: Website: https://aspenfunds.us/smart-real-estate-coach/ Website: https://aspenfunds.us Bob Fraser's Recommended Reading List: The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell: https://amzn.to/3am1yOa The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor: https://amzn.to/30CKRcU Additional resources: Website: www.SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/webinar Website: www.SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/termsbook Website: www.SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/ebook Website: www.SmartRealEstateCoachPodcast.com/QLS

Welcome to episode 203 of the LJS Podcast where today I talk with special guest and LJS community member, Bob Petix about his journey as a jazz bassist. He talks about getting started playing bass in his late 40's and how he has developed in his musicianship since then. We talk what's working for him in the practice room and some of the key things that has stimulated his musical improvement. Listen to episode 203 One of the biggest themes for Learn Jazz Standards this year 2020 is community. This is really the year of community where we are building community and we are learning from each other as a community because I do believe that this is the best way that we can truly learn — it's from each other. And so one thing that I will be doing a lot more often on this podcast is have guests that are listeners of the podcast, who are members of my online jazz courses so that we can listen and find out what's working well for them in their practice room, what's working well, the things that are making the highest impact in their jazz playing at the moment. And in general, getting to know them and their stories because I do believe that we can learn in so much from each other's stories, so much from each other's experiences as jazz musicians, and this will help us all learn and grow together. So, I have Bob Petix on the show today, who is an attorney, who is a bass player from Jackson, Wyoming, who is going to share with us today and we are going to learn a lot from him. In this episode: 1. How Bob got started playing bass and jazz 2. Why Bob plays jazz and what keeps him motivated 3. What Bob is working on in the practice room and what is working best 4. I help Bob with an exercise he can work on for developing better time feel and longer lines Thanks for listening to this episode of the Learn Jazz Standards Podcast.
