"if only like 1% of the people you want to see this actually see this and you're producing like you did maybe one really good" "the two out of 100 becomes three, that's actually a 50% increase. So that's a huge number, even if it's just one more." "I think that's one way that surely can add massive value to our marketing efforts is to do split tests to track what we're doing and the changes we're doing and therefore becoming better and better."

Hey, Gumbeaux Fam! Happy New Year and Welcome 2024. Remember you owe YOU this year. Be gentle to yourself and please take the time you deserve! Do not rob yourself of another minute—INVEST IN YOU! Whatever that looks like. Listen as we explore the significance of (24).

In this episode of the Invest in You podcast, host Fredrik is joined by guest Rob Goddard, a business advisor and expert in selling companies. They discuss the importance of preparing a business for sale and the key factors that can make or break a deal. Rob talks about the need for business owners to make themselves redundant and build a strong team to ensure the business is not reliant on their day-to-day involvement. He also highlights the significance of having robust financial reporting and a clear growth plan to attract potential buyers. Rob shares valuable insights on the common mistakes business owners make when selling their companies and offers practical advice on how to navigate the process successfully.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The importance of determining a "magic number" when selling a business: The "magic number" refers to the capital sum needed from the sale of the business to start a new chapter in the owner's life. It is not necessarily the value of the business, but rather the amount required to sustain their desired lifestyle. Making the business owner redundant: To make a business saleable, the owner needs to build a succession plan and surround themselves with a capable team. This ensures that the business is not reliant on the owner's day-to-day involvement and increases its transferability to a new entity. The significance of financial reporting: Having up-to-date and robust financial reporting, including monthly management accounts, is crucial when selling a business. It provides potential buyers with a clear understanding of the business's financial performance and future prospects. The need for a growth plan: Many business owners lack a clear growth plan for their business. Having a well-defined growth plan, supported by reliable sales forecasts and a narrative that substantiates the numbers, can significantly increase the value of the business and attract potential buyers. The challenges of owner reliance: Businesses heavily reliant on the owner's involvement can be difficult to sell. Buyers typically expect a ready-made management team in place, and if the owner is the sales director or at the centre of everything, it can hinder the sale process. Making the owner redundant and building a capable team is essential for a successful business sale. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's the, I like educating business owners because most business owners have never sold before."  "So I've already seen their accounts by that point. So I give them a really low ball offer, right? I'll say, if I think it's probably worth 3 million, I'll say, do you know what? I think it's worth one and a half. Would you accept that today?"  "I want them to make themselves redundant and, and the business isn't reliant on their day to day input, expertise, knowledge, contacts."  "If you can show a reliable sales forecast based on real customers and how you retain people, all of a sudden now you can multiply the value quite easily."   ABOUT THE HOSTS Serial entrepreneurs Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall love sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influences.

This week on the Invest In You podcast, Frank and Adrian are kicking off their series on the 10 steps to identifying a PROPERTY HOTSPOT.

You'll learn what type of projects to look for, how each stage of planned projects matters, and why transport infrastructure has such a big impact on property.

In this episode Fredrik chats with David Riemer, tech and ad executive, and marketer. He is the author of ‘Get Your Startup Story Straight ; The Definitive Storytelling Framework For Innovators And Entrepreneurs.' He guides people to create the narrative of their startup, sharing their beginning motivations, their aims and values to create understanding between themselves and their target audience.    KEY TAKEAWAYS David has always been a narrative storyteller, has experience in journalism, and so has turned this skill towards startup business. Thinking in terms of a narrative, shifts the focus and viewpoint on the project. Stories have a structure. Overlay a classic story structure onto your innovation story and understand the motivations of your customer, the protagonist, and how your product or service is going to solve their problem.  One of the best ways to be successful as a business is to make a meaningful connection with your customer and understand them on a human level.  When you are telling a story, part of the narrative is conveyed by your facial expressions. Bear this in mind in zoom meetings and FaceTime. Show your expressions.  Include a human factor in your story that anybody can connect with no matter what your product is.  BEST MOMENTS   ‘I have seen this incredible thing happen when I talk to a founder about their project, and we talk about it in the context of a story. Who is the protagonist in your story? And they'll say, “I am, I built this thing”. No, the protagonist in a product story is not you, it's the customer.' ‘You have to know who the protagonist is, you have to know what their motivations are and you have to have some insights into what's motivating them. You have to understand the conflict in the story. You have to understand how their life will be better if they use your product.' ‘People don't care about what you say but they do care about the way you make than feel.' ‘Why is he getting excited about this point? He's waving his hands around. We all have to do that in a way that's natural to us, but our bodies are part of the instrument we use as a storyteller, and our faces.'   ABOUT THE GUEST   David is a long-time tech executive and marketer. He led the ad agency J. Walter Thompson in San Francisco, held senior marketing roles at two start-ups and was VP Marketing at Yahoo! (during their heyday). David now runs Box Out Industries where he works with entrepreneurs, product managers and marketers to develop and convey their product stories. He also started Spiral Staircase Productions to collaborate with artists and is currently developing two original musicals. David teaches at Berkeley-Haas Business School and works with several accelerators throughout the Bay Area.   GUEST RESOURCES   Www.DavidRiemer.com ABOUT THE HOSTS   Serial entrepreneurs Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall love sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influences.

Today Fredrik interviews international businessman Moran Prober. Based in Cyprus, Moran has business in U.S.A, U.K., Canada, Australia, Israel, Panama and Cyprus. He's an expert in acquiring businesses for himself and his clients and is the founder of Acquisitions.com, helping people find the company that's right for them.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Moran helps his clients buy profitable established business, finding the right sector and the best deals including financing.  Single run businesses with one owner are not easily saleable entities especially if it is a model that's easily reproduced by an interested party. Financing options are very varied and there are many sources to fund the acquisition. The price often depends on the the relationship with the buyer. It's takes time to acquire businesses so it doesn't always pay to sell them straight away. You can acquire more business and merge them or grow the business. BEST MOMENTS   ‘In the last 3 years we helped and supported over 100 acquisitions, usually in the range of 1 to 40 million in revenue.' ‘If you have one messy business and you want to buy 10 more businesses, you'll just end up with 10 messy businesses.' ‘It comes down to, why are you buying the business in the first place? For example, a lot of businesses buy other businesses for a very specific asset. Companies buying companies just for the talent.'   ‘We are making sure that we are helping them in the process, to be in the same level of knowledge us us.'   GUEST RESOURCES    Www.acquisitions.com Moran Pober LinkedIn  https://www.linkedin.com/in/moranpober/ ABOUT THE HOSTS   Serial entrepreneurs Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall love sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influences.

An impromptu and spontaneous transatlantic interview between Fredrik and his guest, Donnie Boivin. Author, businessman, coach, motivational speaker and podcaster, Donnie helps others to achieve a change in mindset and propel them forward to achieving their aims. He speaks candidly about the experiences and influences that have shaped his life and how he achieves a healthy momentum in his work.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Fredrik and Donnie both joined the Marines in their respective countries after finishing college.  After a long career in sales Donnie launched his business Success Champions and hit a steep learning curve and now passes what he learned from his mistakes to others to facilitate them to achieve a easier lifestyle with their businesses. A common mistake made by both Donnie and Fredrik is to accept too many tasks and become bogged down by process. The trick is to work on the business not in the business. Building a business involves a lot of bad days to get through and its best to keep these in perspective as, eventually, they will just be cautionary tales you can tell later.  With modern online instruction provided by information platforms like Google and YouTube you can keep yourself up to date without spending huge amounts of cash on training. Sanctuary is important. Donnie has a farm that is isolated from his business interests to which he can escape.  BEST MOMENTS   ‘I'm not a guy that does well with authority and people telling me what to do. When you're going through boot camp or whatever and you realise that these people are going to keep yelling at you for a long period of time you really question your choices in life.' ‘If you had cash, money of any sort then yes! I whatever that was that you needed done so we found ourselves doing websites, graphic design and *@$t that we had no business doing.' ‘If you don't educate them on how you will actually sell to them and how they can get involved to make this happen then the closing might be very odd later.' ‘Being a salesperson is the only profession in the world where you will literally get rejected every day.' ‘At the end of the day, do what's right by you and I think that goes for your business as well.'   ABOUT THE GUEST   Donnie Boivin is a motivational speaker, author, podcaster, businessman and a coach that helps to change the game in mindset and success. His book “How to be a success champion: Business Strategy for Badasses” is a story of his own life that has inspired thousands to get out of their own way and go for it. Donnie Boivin has launched his career, from being a corporal in the US marine corps and spent over 2 decades mastering sales and marketing to becoming a Founder and CEO of the Success Champions family of companies.

This week on the Invest In You podcast we've got Part 2 of our goal setting special. Adrian and Frank are back this week with more great discussion and advice around goal setting and how to go about achieving goals successfully. It's one thing to dream up a goal, but to get there you need a roadmap. But what's better than a roadmap these days? A GPS. Setting your GPS is crucial to mapping out exactly what you need to do in order to reach your final destination. The boys discuss the primal driving forces behind human behaviour – pleasure and pain – and how they can influence and impede the setting and achieving of goals. You're going to find out why having a goal in mind isn't enough. You need to have your goals physically around you; you need to write them down, draw them, organise them together and continually refer back to them. Sometimes we can need a reminder of exactly why we're working so hard! Once you know how to set goals and the right processes for achieving them, the battle is already half won. Tune in and hear the boys share how goal setting got them to where they are today, and how it gives them confidence they're going to get to where they want to be in the future – they've got a lot of wisdom to impart!

Fredrik interviews Niraj Kapur, online business coach and expert on using LinkedIn. Previously a sales trainer, Niraj found himself without a job at the beginning of the COVID crisis and switched to online training. He now specialises in using LinkedIn to achieve and facilitate his clients business goals via his training and coaching company Everybody Works In Sales. KEY TAKEAWAYS The importance of formality in virtual selling and online meetings is paramount. Put as much effort into your prep and appearance as you would to a face to face meeting. The similarities between online dating and online selling are numerous. Check out your client/dates profile to see what you have in common. Do not ask for a client meeting/date too quickly as it can unnerve potential customers/partners. Do not talk about yourself non stop. LinkedIn posts can be about any of your current business challenges you face; slow paying customers, staff retention etc. The most popular posts can be the ones that discuss how your personal life interfaces with your business life. Make the effort to meet your LinkedIn support network as it can be invaluable. Stop relying on email automation. Face to face contact and online meeting platforms such as zoom is still the best way of doing things. BEST MOMENTS ‘On a business level people would say that they know me as a coach who leads from the heart and gets results for clients.' ‘I have grown m LinkedIn profile from 5000 people to 18,000 people. The really big growth has been from me talking about my vulnerability and the difficulty of being single in your late forties.' ‘Personal posts work. They just do. On Father's Day this year all my friends who posted pictures of their kids saying “this is my why” did so well.' ‘Get on a plane, get on a bus, get on a train and go see people face to face. It's one of the best things you can do to strengthen relationships and business is relationships.' ‘If you have your phone there anyway and your too shy to do anything if you have the LinkedIn app you can actually send a voice mail and if you do this you actually stand out.'

In his episode of Invest in You, Fredrik talks to business and brand advisor Brendan Kane, author of ‘Hook Point : How To Stand Out In A 3 Second World' and CEO and founder of Hook Point agency.  Brendan talks about how he started in his specialty of digital branding and publicity for the entertainment industry after initially attending film school and moving onwards to movie advertising. He details how he has helped many corporations and individuals find their “Hook Point.”   KEY TAKEAWAYS Initially planning to be a film producer Brendan found that film school offered no guidance or insight into the business side of film making so he decided to educate himself.  Brendan found his ‘Hook Point' was his ability to assist film makers with post production online publicity of a movie. In 2007 he pioneered he idea of using YouTube influencers to publicise movies. Brendans company Hook Point helps people communicate at scale to customers and attempts to move marketing principles on with a digital forum to get their message out there with a more modern strategy. Platform algorithms have one job and that is to retain viewers so the longer they spend viewing the video the more likely that video will be seen by more viewers. Brendan spends a lot of his time meeting people and learning what they do to enhance his skills and recommends actual face to face communication as a learning tool. BEST MOMENTS   ‘As I said “I wanted to be a film producer” I could see everybody's eyes glaze over, you're Just one of a million. So I had to reassess and find what is my way to stand out, what is my “Hook Point.”' ‘At my core I'm an entrepreneur. I want to build things and I found I was asking for permission to do things more than actually getting to execute.' ‘As marketer's or just people who want to disseminate a message at scale we are competing against hundreds of millions of messages and we need to have more nuance, more sophistication, more psychology in the way that we are constructing our content.' ‘Most business owners have spent years mastering their craft. However, the more you become an expert in something the less you can distill it down into its simplest form.'   ABOUT THE GUEST Brendan Kane is an outside of the box thinker, speaker and author who empowers brands to scale by helping them stand out and beat competition in crowded and oversaturated markets. He is the author of the international best-selling book ​One Million Followers​ and the newly released ​Hook Point: How To Stand Out In A 3 Second World​, as well as the founder and CEO of the Hook Point agency. Brendan has worked with hundreds of individuals and brands providing business and digital strategy for more than 15 years, including MTV, Taylor Swift, Rhianna and many others.

Arnaud started out his career in sales but felt more at home in Change Management and so pursued his business advisory role. He started writing the book when he realised how many questions occurred during his own startup journey that were difficult to find answers to. The book is a narrative that is entertaining written to inform you even though you don't realise it. Arnaud gives tips on targeting your customers effectively rather than struggling to achieve maximum coverage to gain traction. BEST MOMENTS   ‘There is this idea that sales is a “nasty” thing, that salespeople as profession is not something we do but in fact we sell ourselves constantly. Everyday I'm selling to my kids to eat broccoli.' ‘I think it was easier to write the book than do the journey that led to it.' ‘No one could tell us the answers because our journey was unique. I needed to write that book that I wish I had read myself.' ‘You do not need those million guys, you just need to ave those thousand guys that will buy from you because they believe what you sell.'   ABOUT THE GUEST   Arnaud Henneville-Wedholm is an entrepreneur, author and optimist. Today, he leads sales and business development at GLOBHE, a platform for drone data on demand. He is also a mentor at the Nordic Startup School, a leading startup accelerator in the Nordics.

Get to know your Invest In You podcast hosts – and FreshStart Advisory founders – Frank and Adrian, and find out what the podcast is all about!

Hello. Hello and welcome to a very different vitality feed. today we're going to be discussing Alzheimer's.  My 94 year old father has it and my mom, died of a brain tumor, which runs very similar symptoms. And so this is something that I would just like to make everybody aware of Nobody thinks about eating and their diet as participating in the health of the brain , memory and cognitive function. And I think it's really important that we make people aware.   I'm going to give everybody a little Alzheimer's 1 0 1 and interview my dad as well. So I hope you enjoy this episode. A lot of people think Alzheimer's is something to people 65 plus, and it is not.  Recently  I read, the earliest documented case of Alzheimer's started at age 31 for Becky Barletta and she is from the UK and she became the youngest case of dementia. And she has what they call is that early onset Alzheimer's because she's under 65. There was a study done where they found evidence of beta amyloid plaque or amyloid buildup in the brain of people as young, as 20 years old. So if you're thinking I can eat Oreos, Doritos and fast food, because I'm only 30, I have news for you because they are already finding physical characteristics in people's brains, starting in their twenties. So I hope this wakes some people up to realize it is important to start taking care of yourself, always including people being in their twenties. The study that I'm referring to, about the 20 year olds is research that was done by a professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. His conclusion was that "we need to intervene much earlier than we had thought and to try to get rid of that amyloid very early in life." So what are some of the things that you can eat to increase your chances of warding off dementia and Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and all those diseases that impede your brain. One of my favorites, and then at the top one in most sites that you can research is omega threes and of course I always list fatty fish. If you're a vegan or vegetarian, you can go with seaweed, hemp, and flax.  Chia seed is also one of my go-to favorites, chia seed is amazing for your hair and your nails if you eat it every day, I guarantee you will see the effects of that. But for the fatty fish, the best ones to eat are, Mackerel, Salmon and Sardines. And then number two on the list is coffee. I'm not a big proponent of coffee just because of the stimulant, but it has to also be clean. Coffee is very high in pesticides and I know Kion Coffee. K I O N is a very good coffee company is one of the purest cleanest coffees in the world.  It's pricey, but you get what you pay for. I make pour over coffee with almond milk, it's pretty yummy. And the third thing is blueberries. I would love to see everybody eat organic . The smaller, the item is that you're consuming, the more surface space it has, which means the higher the pesticide so I prefer organic. And then a fourth is turmeric. I wish I liked this more. I do sprinkle it in my eggs for color cause I do some whites. Um, but if they make turmeric tea, that's another way you can ingest it.Number five is broccoli. I love broccoli. It is awesome with some garlic and red pepper, Saute' it in a pan. And number six is pumpkin seeds. I like to have mine raw and organic. And I sometimes make a trail mix with them... I probably pumpkin seeds every day.And number seven is dark chocolate. Interesting note here. Chocolate is good for you, but it has to be dark. I think it's at least 70%  or higher.  Dark chocolate is also really good in the morning. I know that sounds really crazy, but, and even crazier is dark chocolate in the morning can reduce your insulin levels. How nutty is that? But it is true.When you get up in the morning, have some dark chocolate and Brazil nut. Brazil nuts help you with thyroid in two ways. they're a good source of iron, but they also extremely rich in selenium and actually one nut is all you need for your whole dose of selenium for your day. So in the morning, every day, pretty much about 10 o'clock, I have my Brazil nut and my dark chocolateand speaking of nuts number eight is nuts on the list. Again, I prefer raw and organic because they're small.And number nine is vitamin C. They set an orange in the study that I read, but oranges are not the best source of vitamin C. And actually the part that is the highest in vitamin C is the peel, which I do do a lot of lemon zest, and things like on my salad and in my tea.  Kiwi is also extremely high in vitamin C.Then number 10 is eggs. Eggs have choline in them, which is super good for you and vitamin B's, especially cause I don't eat a lot of meat, I do eat eggs and you have to keep that yolk in there. That fat in there is super good for your brain as are avocados. Another really good fat for brain. Just an awesome thing to do, first thing in the morning as well.3 million us cases per year are diagnosed, that is just staggering and such a sad statistic. Alzheimer's destroys your memory and other important mental functions. The brain cell actual connections, and the cells themselves degenerate and die.  They destroy your memory and a lot of your mental functions.Memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms of Alzheimer's and there is no cure. I do believe diet is your answer. And I just wanted to give everybody, some symptoms,  to look out for, to know when your relatives are exhibiting these things that you maybe shouldn't start investigating and seeing what's going on with them. Because a lot of people don't know, we did not know with my Mom, what was going on.Brain health is super important and close to my heart between my mother and my father, both having issues. It's very scary to me.  It is a progressive disease so the first thing is memory loss, which disrupts daily life and it's things like forgetting recently learned information and asking the same questions over and over.Number two challenges in planning or solving problems, difficulty in finding a plan or directions,  and working with numbers if they do a  checkbook, things like that. My mother, if I had looked in her checkbook, it would have been a huge indicator that something was wrong with her brain, but nobody knew.Number three, difficulty completing familiar tasks like grocery shopping or driving to familiar places, or trying to remember the rules of something that they know how to do like a specific game.Number four is confusion with time or place.  They can lose track of dates, seasons, passages of time, sometimes forgetting where they are or where they live and how they got there. My Dad literally asked me this yesterday; Where am I? When am I going home?  Whose house am I in? How did I get here? He asked where my mother was. My mother has been dead for eight years. Which is very troublesome when you think about it and very scary.Number five is trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships. These are vision problems that people have, and they can cause bad judgment with balance and judging distance. And sometimes they're unsteady. So it's always good to have a handout and help them.   It also can make reading difficult.Number six is communication issues, new problems with words and speaking, or writing and having trouble following or following along in a conversation.My mother absolutely exhibited these, although she did not have Alzheimer's, she did have a brain tumor. And I find a lot of parallels between these two.Number seven is misplacing things and not able to retrace. Often putting things in unusual places the other night, my father was hiding shells in his pockets and then he will swear he didn't do that. It's pretty interesting how they like to do repetitive action and they will argue with you that they have not done things that they have.They are not able to retrace their steps and then accuse others of stealing. It makes living with somebody who has these symptoms, very challenging and very difficult. It's important not to argue. It's important to accept what is.Number eight is decreased or poor judgment. Maybe with regards to money, cleanliness or grooming. Number nine is withdrawal from work or social activities. A lot of times they become very quiet. They don't want to engage in conversation, and it usually stems from a lack of being able to hold the conversation.And number 10 is a change in mood or in personality, and they become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful, and anxious.I hope that helps maybe give some people some ideas of symptoms to look out for. It is such a problematic disease that is running rampant. I do believe that diet and exercise both, can contribute to warding off that tremendously. I really do hope that many of you will consider your daily diet and exercise regimen and changing it and adding the above foods that we discussed and remembering too, that early onset Alzheimer's can start in your thirties.Next is the interview with my dad. I'd purposely left in the long pauses to show the impact of Alzheimer's on communication, as well as the fact that I tried to discuss those familiar family stories that were retold hundreds of times while I was growing up. I'm sure you have your own stories in your family. Here is the interview with myDad.Tell everybody what your name is?William Musso.And how old are you?69 close. Well, most backward. 94 94. Amazing. Right!Do you remember why you grew up?Richmond Hill. That's it! That is absolutely right, in New York. Although he has a Brooklyn accent, we don't know why.What do you think that made in 94? What do you think you did in your life to manage to get all the way to ninety four years? What am I doing? Like what do you think you say? What do you think being a carpenter helps make your life good? Right that physical exercise. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of hard work. Anything else you think made you live so long? Because 94, is pretty impressive. That's pretty cool. Your parents live long ago.Okay.  Good living.What's probably one of your favorite memories?, Maybe with mom or with us kids, maybe remember when we went cross country? My Children. Yeah. What about when we went across the country and all the campers and the trailers? Camping with the family and the children, was nice- I enjoyed that. Yeah. Sometimes it was miserable. I remember it being really hot when we were out west, it was like 120 was really crazy.You remember the time that the bear came in, the campground, you remember that? And we were all banging on the door. My dad was in the bathroom at the back of the trailer. Yeah. You were in the back and we were trying to get into the trailer because we were all scared. Cause I know it was very scary. It's crazy.How did you meet mom? Do you remember? How did you meet mommyat a bar?I i introduced myself and I think we hit it or.And did you ask her out again that nightshe looked up and said, I don't know.Yeah, except when she gets annoyed.But you feel good. Right. But you feel good, right? Walking around on your own, eating on your, all, doing all your stuff.to live up to 94 years old? ?Well, thank you for answering my questions. I appreciate that. And, um, um, you're welcome. Right or wrong.So what you do today matters for tomorrow as well as long term.Invest in you.And remember, "life has no remote get up and change it yourself."

Hello, this is your host Caroline Schafer. Please help me welcome Lunide Adeeko a world renowned psychologist, specializing in habit, building and neuroscience. Founder of the best morning routine ever, how to get up, dress up and show up. She helps high performers create winning routines to optimize performance with minimal time and effort. I loved every morsel that that's so awesome. Welcome Lunide. Um, what a pleasure to have you here on the vitality. It's my honor, Caroline. And thank you for the opportunity. I'm looking forward to our chat. Absolutely. Um, would you share your backstory and what lured you went to the arena of psychology and neuroscience. Two of my favorite subjects. Such a nerd. They do. Yeah. I'm a nerd. I'm right there with you. They go hand in hand. I started studying psychology and then realized there was something missing to actually ingrain change that I took on,  new science to see how the brain works, how the brain builds habits. So we'll talk more about that for sure. But my background is, you know, I am an immigrant. I was born in Haiti, um, migrated to the United States in 1995 with my mom and saw her struggle. I saw her struggle raising three kids, single mom,  a language barrier. I decided, okay, this is supposed to be the land of opportunity. I need to figure out how to make it,  here in this great land. So I did. Was the, the thing. So I would, that's why I have my PhD and that's why I, you know, I've written books and done all that. But in the midst of that journey, there was still something missing. Right? So for me, I didn't have any structure. I didn't have any routine in place to actually help me be successful. So it was until I graduated and I was actually working in my nine to five and I really. Like, I am burnt out, you know, I am 25 years old, but I feel like I'm 45. Right. And if you are a psychologist, you take on a lot of people's burdenine n. You took on a lot of their hurts and take it home with you.  And so I started asking myself, People doing that makes them successful. That, that thrives beyond just the regular nine to five. And that was the question that sparked everything for me and started looking into people like Tony Robbins, Oprah Winfrey, to see what they do on a regular basis and do it for free because I did not have, um, capital to go invest in anything things. So I wanted something free that I can do to actually see change. And that's where the morning routine starting. I wanted to learn more about habits. I wanted to learn more about successful people because that's what I want it to be as well. I love that because I'm a self-learner and Read a million books on self-help and , I do believe, like you said, you follow Tony Robbins and Oprah and all these people who've nailed it. It's like, why not? Why not follow those people? That makes total sense.   I applaud you for your efforts. That was so smart of you and that's wicked cool about your mom, that takes a lot of strength to do that. I mean, it's hard enough moving to a country. I think that in itself is like kudos then to have three kids and do it, it's like holy cow. But then he had the language barrier, Wow. So I don't know if she's still with us, but it was quite a struggle. Yeah. I mean, that's just so impressive. So how has your knowledge base with the psychology and the neuroscience? How has that influenced your morning routine? Yeah, absolutely. So it has helped me to hack the brain almost to build a habit. So understand the habit loop, how the brain creates habits. There's a cue, there's a craving. And then there's a reward as a result. Right? So once I coupled that with neuroscience and understood how the brain working was a lot easier for me to build habits. Now you know, I've tried before and it didn't work, but it was also stemming from the fact that we have to, change our identity. We have to change the ingrained subconscious dialogue that is happening. That is driving out directions that is driving out every behavior. And I'll tell you a quick story. Caroline is my story was, I'm not enough. I don't belong. I'm not lovable. And that's because at a very young age, as I told you about the struggle with my mom being a single mom and growing up in New York. Well, I was molested as a very young age because of that. My mom was busy working. My mom was busy and leaving us home with, you know, anyone that could. Right. And so, because of that, I was molested. And because of that molestation, it kind of took a toll on me too. So to create this conclusion that I am not enough and that drove my every decision in life. And so I had to actually heal that piece of it first full I can easily build habits. And so that was the psychology piece. And then the neuroscience science is understanding how the brain works. Once you eradicate those limiting beliefs, then you can start from a clean canvas per se. Right? Because we are, we are operating 95% of the time out of the subconscious mind. Right. So it's autopilot so sad, right? We're like a bunch of walking robots. We just opened our mouth and automatic things, but we don't even think we just, everything just happens. Yep. Well said that thinking you're referring to is only 5% of the time during the day that we allow for creative thinking to actually realize, Hey, what did I just say? What did I just do? How did I get home? I don't remember taking the left turn on to my house. You know, I actually tell this to a lot of clients all the time. I'm like, you have to think about what you're thinking. It sounds weird at first it's like, what is like a tongue twister, but it's true. You, you truly, because it like you said, it goes on automatic mode. I love the term transformational vocabulary and I try to catch myself using words that are not to my benefit and change them because it's a better thought. That's what I mean affirmations do. And so being at that space, the brain does this to protect us. Imagine if every decision you made and it was well thought out it was lengthy. That would be exhausting. Right? So the brain moves out behavior.  It automates our behaviors so that we can free up that 5% so that we can think and solve other problems. So it's, it's working for our benefit, right? It's designed to help us, but we have to be able to change the programming because if it's already bad programming, then by the results are going to come. And which was the case for me, because I, I didn't think I was damaged goods. Right. I didn't think I had anything to offer. And because of that, I wasn't taking care of myself. I still come to alcoholism. You know, I still come to a self-sabotaging behaviors. Like I couldn't make it. I didn't have what it takes to make it. And that, that negative dialogue really is toxic and accomplishing anything. And so that's why. I felt stuck. And so when I started,  transforming, um, my mindset and my world and started in, I noticed the shift because now I was applying, neuroscience hacks with psychology. And I was actually following these success stories of, of people who has paved the path before me. And that's when the real change started to happen. What is something somebody could do to try to alter their beliefs? Like, if they're having a negative thought, funny, I have on my bathroom mirror, I am enough. So I see that every morning when I get up, brush my teeth, brush my hair and all that. But say you catch yourself, like one of the things I'm always trying to correct for me is that, I think I have a bad memory. So I keep telling myself, instead of saying I forgot. I have to try to remember to say, I just remembered to try to spin it to a positive mindset, what is a way that people can, can aid themselves to do that? That is the power of affirmation. Anything that you put after the words I am becomes your truth becomes your reality because the brain doesn't know anything. Right. He just takes command. And if you say, I forget a lot, the brain's like, yeah, of course you do. And then you reinforce that if you said, I just remembered, then the brand will actually help you remember the little things. And so for me, what is the thing that people can do? And I started doing was mirror. Mirror work similar to having the, in that mirror saying I am enough, is to look at yourself in the mirror, look at your mic, make eye contact and says, I am beautiful. I am capable. I will succeed today. I have what it takes again, the brain is going to take that command and actually manifest that and actually lead you to take the behaviors necessary to make that a reality. Because if you say you imagine we have automatic negative thoughts and the dialogue is I'm not enough. I don't have what it takes. I suck. This is terrible. That's what you're living, you're creating it. You're the creator. And so be very mindful and cognizant about the words that you use. And so I would suggest mirror, mirror talk. That helps a lot, but also I do habit wiring section where I actually go in and actually we pluck out the negative beliefs and then we reframe it. We replaced them with the positive affirmations. And it's in your own dialogue, it's customized to you. We go in and find out where it started as a child. Again, the psychologist we find out, you know, five to five years or two years, or somebody said something that has stuck with you and you don't even know it's driving your, your, every move you every step. So what I do is I get into the subconscious mind with my clients. We go in and we, we actually identify when it happened, what was said, who said it. And then we started the, we start. Right in that moment. And so now you become a parent to the younger child, to the, that was abuse. That was hurt. That has been rejected. And then that that's when now in reality, you can start living in this truth. You can start living in this power of being empowered, being strong, and also being a go getter. As I like to call it, being that bad-ass, that you truly are designed to be. Thanks, Brett. You guys can't see me, but I got my bad ass hat on. So this is so appropriate. That's the habit we wiring is one way that I do it with my clients. It's super efficient. You get results within a week. And then last for 21 days, I mean your thinking pattern, your new pathways have been changed. And this is with your program, The Best Morning Routine Ever. Yes. So the best morning routine ever, is the podcast where I do chat with entrepreneurs, about the success stories and what their morning routine look like. And then out of that was the birth the Morning Routine App, because there was similarities with all the entrepreneurs. Like they did nine things in the morning that set them apart. So I was like, man, I have to make this accessible to everyone else. So I developed the app and then from the app, there was still more one-on-one assistant that was required. And then that's where the habit you wiring was born to help those who want to go deeper to actually find the root cause of why they are not achieving. The implementing the habits with ease as they should, because it has to be done on a subconscious level. But yeah, that is the program. That's how it all started. I think that's awesome because people, people need that. I always say you have control of your morning. The rest of the day kind of gets crazy and I think it's just have a ball gets rolling. It's like, you know, if it starts off in a good way, I think it's a game changer. Flying out of bed, hitting the alarm, jumping in the shower. And you know, I always do my meditation first alpha stage. And I do a prayer and then , I do get up drink a lot of water. I work out, I  go through this whole thing.  . My morning and my night, the day I'm more flexible with, but my morning it's like, don't be messing with my routine. Yeah. You have to be intentional, which you are. And then it starts the night before, because you have to think, how am I going to wake up tomorrow? What are the first things I'm going to do? Because you're right. Caroline, when you said, if you wake up and you jump out of bed and you're running and rushing, that's the vibe you set for the day. That is the energy, because that sets the tone for the rest. Which is a terrible way to start your day. It is, or the worst part is actually checking out your phone. Going to check social media, going to check emails, we're always still connected. That's one mistake you don't want to do because that actually eats up your productivity because you're now giving you an agenda over to everyone else. But your own, which is your morning routine, your prime time, your you time you time to let, and I've never heard anybody say this mirror work.That's such a cool concept.  I'm not the best at this. I have a similar story to you. , and I'm not good at that, but I looked in the mirror and smile. I genuine smile. Yeah, which was abnormal. Usually it's more forced, but they say that doesn't even matter. You can just, as long as you're smiling, it's all good. You used the word ANT  the automatic negative thoughts.  Are you familiar with Dr. Daniel Amen? And back then, after that funny , I used to be a parent coach for a program called Love and Logic. Yeah.  I called them up recently. I was going to try to have him on my podcast and they just joined forces with Dr. Daniel amen. And I was like two of my favorite things have come together. How awesome is that?  It's a match made in heaven. Thinking about your clients, can you talk a little bit about maybe a success story or two? Yeah. Yeah.  So I won't share her name, but I had one client that came to me after a horrible breakup and she's in her mid, mid thirties. And. Working, you know, she, um, she's a teacher, she's, she has all these good ideas of business ideas, but never is able to implement any of them. She just felt stuck. Not either, not that they didn't have the capital, they think she was able to do it, uh, capable of doing it. And what triggered her to come see me was like, she just got out of a relationship and was just. Oh, she was broken and distraught and then no, which way up, she didn't know where to go. And then, um, she came to me and we're talking and what it was is as an identity crisis.  It's, it's not finding, um, not knowing herself and finding herself and who she is. And so when she came to me and I went through the process with her, we did the, the,  rewired, her habits and her mind frame and her thinking. And did the tour session. She comes out feeling empowered. She comes about feeling, um, ready to take on the world. Now I tell you, Caroline and she goes off to start, not one business, but three successful business. Oh, yeah. Okay. Within, within, within a nine month period, she started three successful business, a coaching business, a kombucha business, and all of that  was buried in. It was innate, but then have the confidence of the power of the will to go after it. And that's what the power of changing your habits on a subconscious level does it? 'cause, there's, there's a great quote that says you, we first created our habits and then I'll quit I'll habits make us, yeah, I love that. I have that quote written somewhere. Quote junkie it's on my website. I love that quote. And I, because I totally believe that.  I try to coach people and I'm like, if you, in the morning, when you get up, most, most people don't want to get from work out. But I'm like, ah, and I have on occasion when, when things are kind of more crazy in life, I have slept in like my t-shirt and my you know, short clothes here that when I get up, there's no excuse. I'm ready. You know? Put them at the bottom of your bread with your sneakers. So this way, there's less thinking you just do you get in the do mindset and not the contemplating mindset, but yeah. Yes. And in the contemplating piece of it is your willpower, right? Because your willpower is finite and you know, it's not infinite. You run out of it. Um, at the end of the day, you're strongest in the morning, but at the end of the day, you run out because of all the decisions that you and you have to make its decision fatigue, that's what takes place. So that's why when you wake up in the morning, you don't want to have to worry about. Um, what are you going to wear to go work out? Whether you're gonna drink water or not? Or what clothes are you going to wear for the day? You set that up the night before you play in the morning within stocks the night before, like Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, they were the same color. They was the same outfit because they don't want to waste their precious brain, that they're going to run a successful business. On what to wear today, or is there a shirt going to match their shoes? Will power. It's not at your making call. It's not at your will. So you have to know that. So you can maximize on that effort. So you are more productive. It's funny cause I have a fashion background, but I still appreciate that concept. It's just like one less thing to think about. It's just on autopilot. Uh, Dean Graziosi also does the same thing. He wears like a black t-shirt every day. He says I can go to a $5,000 deal. I can go to $5 million deal. I've done matter. I have my black t-shirt on no questions asked. That's just the way he rolls. And it is true though, that if you just set all those things into place, you can put your attention. To some other things. I'm really big into fasting and that's another benefit to fasting is like, it's just something you don't have to think about during the day. Cause you're in a fast, you don't have to make food choices, which out of my 95 automatic percent of choices, probably 90 of those are bad food. I'm a foodie. But when you fast, that's just one thing that I think about it. Yeah. It, it doesn't take any brainpower on these days, you get more productivity done. And so that's kind of another added benefit. I've never really heard anybody speak of that, but I look at it like that just because of what you are, you already doing that. Yeah. And even with fasting, you get ketones. And so which enhances your creativity with senses your clarity and mental thinking. So again, you're not worrying about the mundane and you're more focused on the bigger things, which is cool. Right? I want to share with you another story with one of my clients, I'm single, she's a mom of three, came to me because she just felt lost. You know, she she's giving her all her life to the kids, raising the kids and she didn't, she herself was just not in control anymore. She didn't know what was happening with her. And so she needed help. And when I asked her why she came on, what she was like, God asked me to reach out. That was her response. She was like, I might've crossed in my life where everything's out of control and I don't know who I am in a, how to control anything around me. So it goes to show you this works for everyone from all walks of life.  And so with her, she comes in and then she, she had issues with controlling issues and, and releasing relinquishing control. And also she had a traumatic background as well, growing up. And so she worked super hard to make sure her kids have everything they need. And in the midst of that forgot about her. In the midst of that, forget about the self care and, and what is it that she needs and what, what goals that she wants to accomplish. So after we met and had an hour session within 21 days, um, not only she was, we drew related and like a whole new person, she goes off to lose 30 pounds in like three months, something that she struggled with for 10 years. It's almost like the veil has been lifted. I feel I've been really released. And then it's this step, that, that moment where we're stuck, where if we can clear that, that, that, that very subtle piece of where we're stuck and then we can just thrive. Everything and everything we watch, she, it was so easy for her to implement better eating habits, working out. She was running now. She never worked out a day in her life and she was doing it for her now, you know, that's why we changed. We changed on the identity level. That's why we change on a subconscious level because. Feed all the diet plans and meals, but until I'm blue in the face, but it won't resonate. It won't sink in until you get to the subconscious level and says why you want to do this? Why it's important for you and actually get rid of the ant the, those negative thoughts that trying anything that could be keeping you stuck. And then once that was we've lifted, the sky was the limit for her. I like to tell people you have to have your own ah-ha moment no. Like you can show them and that's that new level of thinking, once you get past that, then they can have their own aha moment, which will  give them the ambition to do all of those things that they've been trying to do on successfully. That is a beautiful story. That's what I do. And that's what I do with the psychology. And the neuroscience is that I give you, uh, I expedite that ha aha moment for you, right? I go in and show you subconsciously what's working behind the scenes and how you can tweak it. So that it works in your favor. Oh,  that's so helpful to people. What a, what a blessing, um, tell our listeners how they can find you. Yes, absolutely. So wherever you're listening to this podcast, I have my own podcast called best morning routine ever. I chat again with entrepreneurs like Caroline, about their successful stories and their morning routines and how it has contributed to their success because morning routines are crucial. For you to be successful , to thrive. And of course, all my handles on social media, IG and Facebook is Best Morning Routine consistent across the board. That's how you can find me also,  bestmorningroutineever.com website. I have a, freebie it's called 'five ways, you can wake up without whacking the snooze button in the morning.' And that's, uh, I love that. So if anyone wants a copy of that, it gives you ideas on what your chronotype is. When is the best time for you to wake up? When is the best time for you to go to sleep?

You can find your copy on there. And I love that you have a routine with your, with your handles, your all your social media handles. You have it all the same. That's very smart. I need to, I need to follow suite  with that. Ah, gosh, you're a woman after my own heart. I love talking with you today. Um, I'm a junkie on habits. I just think they're invaluable. Um, they just give life some structure and it's crazy as life is today. It feels good. Kids are not the only ones who need structure. Adults need some structure to, it feels, it feels good.  It's something you can rely on and do a check-off box in the morning when you accomplished it, but it is a favorite subject of mine. Last question, if there's one thing you could eliminate in the world, what would it be and why? This is dear to my heart. If I can eliminate anything in the world, that would be human trafficking. Oh, good. One human trial, fucking for sexual abuse and, you know, selling it, young girls bodies for sex. I mean, every time I see that on TV, I shake inside because it it's such a. Big in our community that it happens and it goes unnoticed. And still trying to find a way to, to, to eradicate that altogether. But you got to think what the trauma does to a young girl. Or boy. These days, what the trauma does to their psyche, the subconscious mind we're talking about it starts there. When, when molestation takes place, when rape takes place, when, human trafficking, sex trafficking, all that happens, it really changes how the world, the next generation lives. It really changes because they don't, you, you just go on a downward spiral. You're not enough. You don't deserve this. And therefore you do self-sabotaging behaviors. I was lucky to get out of it, but a lot of people don't survive it. Right. I actually live in Atlanta and it's one of the highest, areas because we have the world's largest airport and that's a significant problem here and I worked in the hotel industry and we were actually trained on what to look for when people come into. Cause people think that people will go into the red roof Inn. That ain't true. That is not true. You they're everywhere. I know I've heard of flight attendant. Um, scouting people out on a plane and actually being successful. So everybody, everybody can partake to help that mission. And I it's such a worthy cause I got goosebumps, I have three daughters and eight, eight nieces. And, but, yeah, it is boys too, but yes, I love that answer. That is so important to pay attention to.

Hoy en Día a Día, comenzamos conversando con la reportera de finanzas personales para la iniciativa Invest In You de CNBC, Carmen Reinicke, sobre el nuevo crédito fiscal ampliado por hijos en EE.UU: “El alcance de este programa va a estar alrededor de 60 millones de niños, y esto es para las personas que tienen un ingreso individual entre $75.000 y $120.000 en la sumatoria de la pareja… Según el paquete presentado ayer, estamos hablando de $15 mil millones, y según las edades de los niños, pueden ser cheques por poco más de $300 mensuales”, nos explicó. La corresponsal de Deutsche Welle en Estados Unidos, Carolina Chimoy, nos habló sobre la visita de la canciller Angela Merkel a la Casa Blanca: “Esta es la última visita de Merkel a EE.UU en su rol como canciller”, dijo, y comentó que en la reunión, los dos mandatarios conversaron sobre el gasoducto Nord Stream 2, el cual es criticado por EE.UU “Porque podría llegar a ser un instrumento de manipulación por parte de Rusia contra Europa”, pero destacó que “Merkel dejó claro que ese gasoducto lo van a seguir construyendo, y que en caso de alguna amenaza de Rusia, Alemania sabe cómo reaccionar”. Desde Caracas nos atendió Juan Manuel Raffalli, abogado especialista en derecho constitucional y procesal, para hablarnos sobre el plan de la Asamblea Nacional controlada por el gobierno para aprobar una ley de Ciudades Comunales: “Con las Ciudades Comunales va a haber una desconcentración, donde quien va a manejar los hilos de todo ese poder comunal es el poder central, quitándole toda autonomía a los gobernadores y alcaldes”, nos explicó, y alertó que “Las Ciudades Comunales son para el desarrollo y promoción del socialismo, por lo que es una elección entre socialistas y no donde quepamos los que vemos las cosas distinto”. También nos atendió Luis Fleischman, director del Palm Beach Center for Democracy and Policy Research, con quien conversamos sobre la situación actual en Cuba: “Lo que se puede esperar es más represión, una fuerte reacción por parte del gobierno de Díaz-Canel”, dijo, y resaltó que “En este momento hay un cambio psicológico muy importante en los ciudadanos cubanos, porque ya no soportan más esta situación”. Fleischman alertó que “Rusia y China están apoyando al gobierno de Cuba, y lo van a apoyar política y militarmente”, por lo que “Algo como un bloqueo naval puede ser importante, porque ni un barco chino ni un barco ruso entran en el mar Caribe para ayudar a La Habana”. Y para cerrar, conversamos sobre la oleada de vandalismo y saqueos masivos en Suráfrica con el periodista e historiador Benjamin Fogel, quien nos contó que “Esto no es una Guerra Civil, solo que ha habido vandalismo y manifestaciones sobre todo de los partidarios del presidente Zuma, que ha sido arrestado”. Además, nos contó que “El principal puerto de Suráfrica ha sido aislado por los manifestantes, y las tropas deben desbloquear los accesos al mismo para que las provisiones y los bienes puedan fluir por el territorio”.

Never Chase Him. Do This Instead (5 Ways He’ll Invest In You) Have you ever heard that men love the chase, which is why a woman should never chase a man because it might take away from his pursuit, or it might come off as needy? Here’s the thing, there’s a huge misconception between chasing […] The post Never Chase Him. Do This Instead (5 Ways He’ll Invest In You) appeared first on Understand Men Now With Jonathon Aslay.

Internationally renowned entrepreneur, author and keynote speaker, Robert Wallace joins the Invest In You podcast to discuss entrepreneurship, successful mindsets, reaching your goals and objectives and why it is critical to adapt to the environment around you. Listen in and discover business and life lessons that can help scale your business, build more strategic partnerships and disrupt your industry. KEY TAKEAWAYS The younger generation is not interested in nibbling around the edges of existing systems as that may not work, they will look to disrupt the system, break it and then re-build it into a system that is conducive and reflects the interest of the people.   You can get a lot more done by working with people through strategic partnerships. 99% of entrepreneurs who have been successful are where they are because they have built alliances and strategic partnerships with parties who share their vision.   Never lose the ability to dream. It is the power of a dream that will change lives and that will change the world. As we get older the pressures of life discourage our ability to dream.   Be clear on the destination point that you desire to be in the future and build a bridge to where you want to be by aligning yourself with others who share your vision around the world as they will help you to achieve your dreams. The environment around us will always be changing and it is critical that entrepreneurs must be able to pivot, change and adapt their business to be successful during tough times.   BEST MOMENTS “All of us have at least one book in our gut” “Always disrupt a system, break it apart and re-build it” “I wish I had learned the lessons of strategic partnerships when I was younger” “Never lose the ability to dream” “Be clear on the destination point that you desire to be in the future” “There is an art and a science to building partnerships to achieve your objectives in business”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.robertwallace.com/     ABOUT THE GUEST Robert L.

Join an exciting discussion around entrepreneurship, mindset, sales and social media as Invest In You welcomes   Real-Estate Agent, Author and Speaker, Chris Stafford to the show. Listen in as they dive into sales and marketing techniques, how to build a routine of consistency and what it takes to start, grow and scale a business.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   Social media is a double-edged sword. It can be positive for advertising and for reaching your audience and sharing positive messages, however there is also a lot of negativity attached to social media that can affect your mindset, harm your brand and take up a lot of your time.   Your success as an entrepreneur is dependent on your routine and your ability to be consistent with ‘your way’ of selling. You have to find what works for you, for your business and what you can do on a consistent business to drive sales.   Entrepreneurs miss out on a lot of business if they’re not leveraging their S.O.I (sphere of influence). Referral marketing is a great way to get new clients. After service, survey your happy customers and generate a positive flow of new clients into your business. Social can also be used to connect with professionals that will be connected to your ideal customers so ask them for referrals.   Similar to listing and selling properties, starting a business takes tenancy, persistence, consistency and a fun environment to work in.   Investing in you means to invest in your physical and mental wellbeing and to develop a solid routine that sets you up for success.   BEST MOMENTS “The most important factor to sales is consistency” “Everybody has to have a consistent routine and your success is dependent upon your routine” “Entrepreneurs can be the connection to your community” “It’s important to put yourself in a state of joy by loving what you do”   VALUABLE RESOURCES www.TheAgentUnleashed.com Massive Abundance Book CONTACT METHOD Chris Stafford has been selling property in San Francisco for over 25+ years and is a successful author, coach and teacher and now helps others get into real-estate. Chris is the author of "Massive Abundance" and AFTER 25 YEARS listing properties, he has created a way to get more listings and more commission income without working 24/7 and spending everything on marketing and as a nationally recognised trainer and speaker, Chris regularly shares his knowledge on real estate tactics and mindset with those looking to get into property.     ABOUT THE GUEST Christopher Stafford DRE 01155105 www.TheAgentUnleashed.com www.Twitter.com/realcstafford https://www.facebook.com/Christopher.S.Stafford https://www.linkedin.com/in/theagentunleashed/ https://www.instagram.com/realcstafford/   ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneur Fredrik Sandvall loves sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.

Fredrik is joined by Digital marketing expert, founder of GrowthExpertz and leader in growing and scaling startups from Dubai to Silicon Valley, Andrew Miller. Listen in as Fredrik and Andrew discuss how to efficiently scale start-ups by growing your own PR list, how to master the foundations of marketing and why focusing on your mission and solving problems and not earnings millions is the key to success. KEY TAKEAWAYS   When starting and scaling a business, your goal should never be to exit, your goal should be to solve problems and help people. If you reach a point where an exit investment injection of capital will help you reach your mission quicker than you should take it, but your goal should never be to make millions.   Follow the marketing foundation by tightening your analytics, ensuring you have the right call to action and the correct lead magnet for your product, the right social media branding and onboarding process. All of these things, in the beginning, are hard to get right and it’s therefore important to hire a consultant for the first 6-12 months marketing for your start up.   Public relations and PR marketing boils down to building a list of people that you want to tell your story to and communicating it in an easy to consume manner that builds interest and intrigue and value in the minds of your audience.   Growth hack: Subconsciously grow your own PR list as you begin to develop your product. Over time your list will give you a head start when it comes to realising news about your product or service. BEST MOMENTS “Learn to walk on your own before you start sprinting with Facebook or Google etc” “People aren’t investing in the right areas of marketing at the right time”.   “Everyone is building products to help solve peoples problems” “When the goal is to make money and profit, you have a shorter fuse to move onto the next thing.”   “The US market for startups is worth 10-15 times more than the rest of the world combined and around 70% is located in San Francisco”   “You have to keep changing what you do in your life until you find that product-market fit that makes you happy. Until you find that, everything else falls by the wayside.” “Invest In You means spending money and time to create a better future for yourself.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Sign up for Andrew's book :) https://publishizer.com/0-growth/checkout/18925/   ABOUT THE GUEST Andrew Miller spent 15+ years building growth for young startups from Dubai to Silicon Valley.

Many investors have lost money in the stock market by listening to others, watching the news or following a trend. This happens because they make their decisions based on emotions, and in today's episode, Invest In You guest, Sean Tepper introduces us to software that reduces risk, saves money and invests confidently.   KEY TAKEAWAYS What is FIRE Movement? This is Financial Independence, Retire Early, and it's for those individuals who they want to do more in life than just work. They want to enjoy the hobbies and enjoy the freedom and it's about creating revenue streams that are leveraged, or build something and sell something and take a liquidity payment. A wise entrepreneur is someone that invests in different things and has multiple streams of income and does not depend on one. This is advantageous in that when one investment goes wrong, there's still income flowing in. Business people should also have platforms such as podcasts where they can educate young upcoming entrepreneurs and to elevate their voices and increase their reach. An entrepreneur is someone that has patience. Investing is one of those things where if you're looking for instant gratification, immediate rewards, it's not for you, you've got to be patient, but the payoff can be huge. There is no such thing as luck, to become successful, you have to work very hard, you need to put in a lot of your time into what you do and be wise when making major decisions in your company. The best investment that you can make is in the stock Buy shares when they are selling at a low cost so that you can sell them at a higher price and make a profit. BEST MOMENTS “You don't need as much money as you think to live a millionaire lifestyle.” “The foundation of logic is math.” “Don’t take risks but make definitive returns.” “Constant investments in yourself, it's not money, making sure you're bringing in the right knowledge.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://tykr.pro/ ABOUT THE GUEST Sean Tepper, the founder and CEO of TYKR is a software guy and has been in software engineering for about 15 years.

Thank you for being here, listening, sharing the podcast with others, and taking the time to INVEST IN YOU!  It's mid-June and it's been a WILD friggn ride! Have you [RE]Opened? Gone back to work? Working, but still from home? All I know is... I'm TIRED! All this back and forth and maybe, but not yet, ok now, but not you, is giving me a case of whiplash! Last week's podcast was more about the continued uncertainty and chaos going on and looking at how you can help others.  Were you able to help someone? Did you try or at least offer? Listen in this week as I share a conversation I had with my (almost) 25 year old daughter and how after getting a "back to work" start date, she finally feels like she can PLAN!  It's why I LOVE to have clients set deadlines, people NEED them to plan accordingly!  Yes, shit happens to knock you off track! We've all seen that this year so far. But it also is there to help you NOT give up! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!  And yes, as businesses [RE]open, pivot, change and continue as Business Unusual, it's now time to look to the future. We also talked about how at the beginning of this PANDAMNIT, people had good intentions of "getting it all done". Many have, and many realized they had too much going on and, well, others decided they too needed to stop and take a breath. Again, listen in as I share a conversation I had with a client who [RE]opened about five weeks ago. We discussed her new processes and procedures and how she can continue to look forward. How being diligent, intentional and focused can help YOU look forward and see the future a little clearer!  And, if you are having trouble or want some help - click here to email me - register for my SIX WEEKS TO [RE]Start 2020!

‘There are so many ways to make money as a young entrepreneur’ Rob Moore who was a guest on the 8th episode of Invest In You is back talking with Charlie and Fredrik about young entrepreneurs. Rob is known as the disruptive entrepreneur, he writes books, does podcasts, runs a training business and is an investor in property. They discuss the opportunities for young entrepreneurs and how you can get started This episode has lots of great content about being entrepreneurial and enterprising especially if you are young and want to create a business now.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Whatever you have knowledge in, expertise in, experience in or just love to do there is scope for selling products, mentorship and masterminds and educational programs. For content creators, fan funding and crowd funding can come together through the Patreon platform and the Facebook supporter program. Young entrepreneurs I encourage young entrepreneurs  to use their youth, vitality, strength Some worry about their lack of experience but with experience can come scepticism. The great thing about youth is the energy and the naivety being able to take risks because there is less to lose. If I was a teenager now I’d be doing e-commerce and building a personal brand across various platforms. Education is geared towards creating professions and jobs, not entrepreneurship, enterprise, innovation and becoming wealthy. If you want to create your own business and take over the world being innovative then the education system may not be for you. Lots of people are looking at what they get paid and then doing the minimum to get that pay it is not an enterprising or entrepreneurial mindset. Starting over If I had to start again I would start earlier, I would probably do similar things – training and property because I enjoy them so much. I’d invest in property and get into a low overhead high margin business with a  business partner who I could leverage my skills against. I would look to leverage social media more, building a personal brand and following when you have a loyal following it doesn’t matter so much what the product or service is. There are huge entrepreneurial opportunities around climate change. If you are able to bring a solution you could become very rich very quickly and be making a significant change for good.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I just want to learn from anyone I can learn from and give some of my experience to anyone who wants it’ ‘It’s not about the money it’s about what I’ve learnt along the way’   ‘I have a foundation that works to help as many people as possible get financial education and start and scale their business’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Invest In You Podcast Trust is the New Currency book by Sheila Holt & Fredrik Sandvall Kickstarter How To Make Money As A Teenager book     ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneur Fredrik Sandvall loves sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.

Invest In You

When you get bored, what do you usually do? You browse the internet hoping that something could entertain you. The truth is a big bulk of traffic on the web is composed of people consuming (reading, streaming, playing, etc.) content. If you’re trying to be an expert in your industry, it’s best that you try to jump on the other side of the fence – by starting to create the content. We dive deep about social media content creation in this latest episode of the Invest In You Podcast. Fredrik, Charlie, and Ivan share everything that you need to know could increase the value you contribute, the sales, and the engagement with your followers. It takes the drive, the skills, and the knowledge to position yourself as one of the top players so make sure to tune in to get their helpful tips. KEY TAKEAWAYS Charlie hosts his own YouTube Channel, and he shares that anyone can earn money by entertaining others. Most YouTube influencers rely on ad revenues or by getting sponsors. For podcasts, it’s best to invite people of credibility and of experience whom the listeners can relate to. It’s not just assuming that you’re giving out the most significant value to your audience, but also this increases the engagement with followers and the sales. You can also collaborate content ideas with them. Creating content builds your personal brand. Branding is essential if you want to cement your place in the industry. You want to be the go-to person, their own guide to everything they want to learn and know. It’s important to trust yourself and be confident of what you’re putting out there. And remember to be consistent on posting content on social media. Grow your following in every social media platform. Find a way to link your other platforms in the contents you make and post. One exception though is to consider a follower’s convenience, so they continue supporting your content. For example, if you’re planning on posting a video on Facebook, it’s better if you directly upload it in there, rather than diverting it to YouTube. Look at what the numbers are telling you.

His family, especially his children, serves as big inspirations for him to do still what he’s doing and strive harder. Highlights from his football career: Walking out of Wembley during a playoff final with Brentford during the year 1998. Leaving Brentford to Bristol City. Carl’s business model has always been about development. Carl shares that you have to observe what’s significant and what’s not in the market right now and in the future.

“Life is good when you make money.” – Nitin Shakdher In this episode of the Invest In You Podcast, Fredrik chats with Nitin Shakdher, the Founder and CEO of Green Capital, about investments. For almost 20 years, Nitin has been helping individuals and institutions growing their investments. He shares with us how he manages to stay at the top of his game despite the stress his work brings. Discover how he finds time to bond with his family every night, in addition to the overseas trips he makes on almost every quarter of the year. Nitin also lets you in some if his trading and investing philosophies which has been proven to have helped him. KEY TAKEAWAYS Nitin has been an investor since 1998 – investing in equity markets. He says investing can be easy as long as you are in control and you know what you want to do at some point in time. This also gives you the benefit of enjoying other things in life, as well. What does Nitin do when he’s not working? Nitin plays golf and reads a lot of books. He sees to it that he’s always updated of what’s happening around him. He also enjoys walking around the cities when it’s good weather. Nitin sees to it that he makes time for his family. When he goes home to see them, he makes sure that there should be no work that will get in the way of their family bonding. Nitin, not only works with individuals but also institutions. He works with a variety of people – from business entrepreneurs to sports stars to fashion designers. When it comes to investments, these professionals are still not clear of what to do so Nitin is there to guide them. A lot of investors prioritize emotional IQ rather than financial IQ. Financial investors have to be emotionally stable. You don’t have to equip yourself with all the financial knowledge to succeed. Nitin’s #1 Rule on trading: Do a risk assessment so if it comes to the point that it doesn’t work, you’re able to hold your position for 7-8 years. Always think that it is a long-term investment. Nitin’s perfect office doesn’t involve fanciness and intricacies. He’s okay with just his laptop, WiFi with high-speed internet, and maybe a drink on his hand at the beach. Nitin’s insights on Blockchain and cryptocurrencies in India: cryptocurrencies will not necessarily replace physical cash in the near future. Blockchain as a technology can be adapted in the future. BEST MOMENTS “Like all family men, it’s very tough to balance certain things because sometimes, in the evening, your mind is in different space and your family demands attention… I try to switch it on and off. I don’t take too much work or stress home. It’s good to have it well-balanced and to open your world to different things.” “Sometimes, investment professionals and the people in the finance industry get very involved with the whole attribute of the whole space and what happens. Then, we stopped realizing that there are other things to life as well.” “You need to be disciplined, you need to be emotionally strong, you need to look at the larger picture, you should be willing to risk your capital, and you should know what you are doing at all times.” “It’s easy to look at good times… everyone thinks it’s a party, and everyone enjoys it, but you have to be a good investor to stick to the bad times. And you can’t be a great investor if you haven’t seen crashes in the market.” “It’s important to travel once every 2-3 months because when you travel, you come out from your own individual work perspective and you look at the world with a different perspective.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Family Office Club Green Capital ABOUT THE GUEST Nitin Shakder is a professional investor and the Founder & CEO at Green Capital, a private capital investments firm and a multi-family office.

Welcome back to another episode of Invest In You. On today’s episode, serial entrepreneurs Charlie and Fredrick, talk about one of the investments you can do in yourself which is relationships and in this case, networking. What’s networking? What is networking all about? Answers to all these and more are in this episode, hop in to learn and find out this and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS What is networking? One of the most important skills as an entrepreneur, it's also one of the most valuable assets you have got to yourself and it's all relating to other people and how you link, connect and help others and how they can help you. What is networking all about? Networking is all about keeping your existing contacts, is also about adding new ones. What to do for networking to succeed. In this case is if you don't follow up, then you wasted time. You should always do a follow up on the people you have contacts. If you don't collect the details, and you don't even know if like to follow up with the people, that is a waste of time. How to pick or find people when you are networking.  Group number one which is the people who are on their own, they might be standing there filling with telephone, they might be standing looking to the wall, they might be standing there with a drink or without a drink, they feel uncomfortable to be there, you actually help them by approaching them in a careful way and introducing yourself because it means they are not alone anymore, which means you save them the hustle to try to find one to speak to.   How do you approach a group or two people? You are making the couple into a tree, which means that you are the odd one out. The other people might already have a rapport between them. What I do is just super quickly, I excuse myself, introduce myself, and then I say please carry on where you were, don't let me drop and then people usually do or they start to engage with you.   At the bar is also a good place to pick up new people to talk to because they come there to grab a drink and maybe learn to engage a new person. You can also pick up people in a hall or meeting or a gathering. In order to save yourself more time, you can ask the host to connect you with people in there who might be interested.   How do you break away from people? We have introduced ourselves; we’ve said hi to some people, you might also bring your business cards, which means people can get back to you. Take the details and capture the details on the phone and there are also some apps which allows you to very quickly Connect. After all that and pitching your business idea to them, you can now tell them goodbye and go to the other person. Why network as an entrepreneur.  There are some really good meetings where you can be one of the key people in the room, I always recommend if you can try to be the speaker, that means that people would like to come to you and you're very much in demand to speak to and its way easier to do networking and get what you want.   BEST MOMENTS “Network is your network.” “Sometimes you find what you are looking for in the most unusual context.” “Networking is a super important business skill.” "Try to be interested not interesting to people you are engaging with while networking so that you can learn as much as possible from them.” “In networking, be professional from how you dress how you speak, how you approach people, your handshake, your eye contact and your business card.” “Try to be yourself and don't play a role.” VALUABLE RESOURCES http://fundx.global ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneurs Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall love sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.

Welcome back to another episode of Invest In You. This week our serial entrepreneurs, Fredrik and Charlie, talk about Consulting. What’s it all about? What does a consultant actually do? How do you start a career as a consultant? Answers to all these and more are in this episode as Fredrik talks through his own experiences of consulting over many years. Key Takeaways What Is A Consultant? A consultant is someone who tries to help companies solve problems they might have. Ideally, a consultant is external to the organization to avoid any bias they might have if they were internal to that company. What Are The Downsides To Being A Consultant? There are some downsides to being a consultant, not least that you can end up living out of a suitcase for long periods of time. As a consultant, you are rarely still working for a company at the implementation phase of a project. This can mean that your ideas, suggestions and plans aren’t always implemented in the way you set out. How Do You Get A Job As A Consultant? Anyone can be a consultant, there is no direct qualification needed to be a consultant. Many MBA students aim for a career as a consultant. Working for a big four company or the next tier down of companies can be helpful. There is always the option of setting up your own consultancy which can be very rewarding but it can be difficult getting your foot in the door with larger clients. How Hard Is It To Get Customers? If you’re good and you’re good at selling then it’s easy. Sometimes getting involved in bigger projects where you might be a smaller cog can be a really effective way of learning, and meeting potential customers. Always try to improve your network and continue learning. Consultancy As A Career? Consultancy is a great career, often highly paid and highly rewarding. As a consultant you’re constantly learning new things, and using creativity to solve problems to ultimately help people. Best Moments ‘You can have the best trainers in the world but if you don’t have the implementation then nothing will happen.’ ‘It’s useful to hire consultants for specific tasks.’ ‘You’re paid well, and you can help solve big, relevant problems.’ ‘If you’re really good, and you’re really good at selling getting customers is easy, if you’re not so good and you don’t like selling, it’s impossible.’ ‘Mentoring and Consulting have many similarities.’ Valuable Resources http://fundx.global About the Host Serial entrepreneurs Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall love sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influencers.

KEY TAKEAWAYS How did you end up at Harvard Business School? I've had my eye on Harvard business school for the last 10/15 years. I thought to myself how do I balance my engineering degree and understanding business at the same time. This year the main focus has been strategy, finance and data management. You need to always be investing in yourself, your skills and your education. By laying that foundation you are preparing yourself for future opportunities that come down the road and gaining a broader perspective on opportunities. Harvard has helped round myself and give me a global understanding. At Harvard, we use case learning for education. Case learning gives you opportunities to confront opportunities and see different strategies being utilised. It allows you to ask yourself what would you do? and how would you react? Ben - San Jose, California. Engineering Degree MBA What does invest in you mean to you? The entrepreneur's organisation experience has been great. If you're an entrepreneur or business owner or CEO it can be a lonely place and you often need advice from people with less of a stake in the business as you to give you perspective. Harvard is interesting because with the executive education I'm able to invest in myself by looking at case studies and thinking about strategy. In one word invest in you, it means learning. - Wally Evans - Birmingham, Alabama. Entreneures organisation executive education. What brings you to Harvard? I just wanted to see what it's like I plan to apply in the next couple of years. Ideally, I want to apply to the business programme in conjunction with the law. My first step into owning my own business was photography. I was able to easily gain experience and get out there. Outside of that, I started a brick and mortar second-hand lego store. You learn a lot by owning your own business. What does invest in you mean to you? The biggest thing is trying to invest in my confidence and willingness to take risks. It's part of success and finding out what you're made of. Finding out if you can exist in the world of sales and entrepreneurship. - John Swain BEST MOMENTS "Invest in you means learning" "I'm a lifelong learner, I enjoy the challenge and it's more fun than working" “Sales are about relationship building and getting people to trust you. They need to trust that you will do the best for them.” "Risk vs Reward is key to success in entrepreneurship" ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneurs Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall love sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influences.

In this episode of the Invest In You Podcast, Fredrik interviews Nigel Best and Ray McLennan. Today, the serial entrepreneurs discuss raising finance and how both Ray and Nigel are investing in themselves. Discover how they decided to jump into business together and also what they get from working with each other and how they raise finance. Nigel is a property investor, business owner, dad, and husband. He does a lot of things and tries to get the most out of life. Ray helps people find money for business or for property projects. He also has a few property projects of his own on the go. Tune in today to learn about investing in oneself and what stops one from doing so. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Learning. Where it starts for people is when they have an interest in something. If somebody develops an interest, if you develop an interest in personal growth or if you develop an interest in teaching and training or whatever, you can go out there and start finding that information. And one thing leads to another lead to another. And they've actually scientifically proven it. If you give a person a book that's of interest to them, the pupils actually dilate which they open up to take in more information. And if you're teaching other people that subject, you'll learn quicker. How to raise finance? Scarcity mindset. There's no shortage of money. People need to realize that. A lot of people can have a scarcity mentality. Thinking, Oh there's not enough money out there. Or Oh there's a recession on... Not true. There's more money in the world than there's ever been. Self-sabotage. Without skills and knowledge, all they gonna do is sabotage themselves. People have to work their way up. They channel. So when it comes to raising finance, you have to be realistic about now. Example, if you are thinking, I'm gonna do a commercial conversion and I don't have this experience, you can join and venture with someone who does. So, you can fast-track your way to that experience. But if you try and do it yourself, you run the risk of self-sabotage. Fear. This fear that there isn't enough money. This fear that the deal of the century only comes along every hundred years as opposed to every day. This fear of what we were talking earlier, and we were saying one of the biggest that holds people back is actually asking the question, would you lend me some money? Would you like to jayvee in this deal? Would you like to invest in this project? These very simple things now when we debated what was the reason, it's probably we're a product to the system. so, it's been highly structured for many hundreds of years, where we are predominantly shackled by our way of thinking. The concert pianist story. After the concert, they’re having drinks and someone would say to the pianist, I'd give anything to play the piano like that. And she turned and looked him straight in the eye and went, oh no you wouldn't. No you wouldn't. You wouldn't give anything because you've had your chance. You had piano lessons and you gave it up. So, you didn't. So, there comes a point in most people's lives you would imagine where there's a crossroad, there's a junction, there's decision to be made. It's the same when you invest in yourself, it's a never-ending process. Risk. Risk is risky if it is unknown. Just turn on the light. The internet is free. It's all there but why don't we do it. Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results. By James Clear. The idea on that is to do granular tiny change each day. This invest in you never stops. And we're always seeking ways to make a lot of changes. Incremental change. Tiny little changes on a daily basis. This invest in you doesn't have to be expensive, difficult, big, it can be tiny things. You don't have to be an expert. You can become an expert in something quite quickly by just a few hours of research. That's all it takes. It's very difficult to jump up 10 flights of stairs in one step. You got to take each step as it comes. When you open up your mind, you realize that you can choose to react to anything however you want. And you don't have to follow any other person. You can choose to do it yourself. Doing it. It is better to make a decision even if it's a wrong decision than to make no decision at all. At least you learn something. You learn something by doing it. It is not the thinking about it that matters, It’s the actual doing it that you will learn. Mentality. We are mentally obese because we fill our head with the equivalent of junk food. And I think that we need to get into at some sort of fitness regime for mental health fitness which is taking things in. Surround yourself with like-minded people. Surround yourself with inspirational people. Avoid the negative media. Don't get suckered into petty arguments of and joining in. Advice: Every morning and every night express gratitude for at least 3 things. Do that for the next week and you will see a completely different change in your mood. Advice: If you find yourself in a situation where normally you would be very negative about it, for example, road rage or something/someone cuts you up, just choose to pause and smile and wave and not judge them or anything like that but just relax yourself and don't rise to any bait... just choose to react differently. BEST MOMENTS: “I think it has to do with having an open mind. And if you have an open mind, there are no barriers. There's no ceiling. There's no limit. You learn something all the time. You think you know everything. All you have to do is watch a few quiz shows on tele, you realize how much you don't know. There's never an end.” “You are aware that you are walking down a corridor but no one's pointed out or you haven't realized just how many doors there are. And how many doors you haven't even tried to open to see what's behind that door. And then suddenly when you are almost when you become conscious and you are working on all these things, you are suddenly aware of how many doors are up. You are suddenly aware of how easy they are to open. And when you peer inside you realize, it is a whole new world that you're completely unaware of. And how much more there is to know. so, you almost need a hundred lifetimes to  kind of experience everything that's out there.” “It's a bit like washing or shaving or personal hygiene. You don't have to do it every day but it helps. And it's the same when it comes to investing in your self, you don't have to do it every day but it really does help.” “A great way to invest in yourself is to teach others. You have to invest in yourself so therefore you are worthy to pass all the knowledge to other people.” “Churchill. Give a man a label, and he'll live up to it or live down to it. And I think that's what we're doing.” ABOUT THE HOST Serial entrepreneurs Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall love sharing ideas and interviewing world-class entrepreneurs and influences.

She has a wide amount of knowledge to share on how to deal with life and with the people around you. Learn about the 4 different types of Listening. Nicki shares her business tips for the younger generation, especially when they are still starting out. She also gives some important advice you can use and instantly apply in your daily lives. So, Tune In! KEY TAKEAWAYS Four types of LISTENING: Solution listening. This is when you are listening to the person and automatically gives a solution when you hear something that sounds like a problem that can be resolved. Attentive listening. This is a good trait. You just attentively listen to the one talking. Competitive listening. This is when you are listening to the person and you respond automatically as if you are in competition with the person. Your response will always be greater than the one talking. Combative listening. You will always find a way to bring the conversation in your favour. Business Tips especially for young beginners: You have to find out about money. Learn about money and how you can use the money for your own advantage. Learn how you can use the money to work for you. Think about other people’s perspective. But remember that it is their perspective. It does not mean that they are always correct. There will be a lot of people that will tell you not to do something. You have to choose your own group. Surround yourself with people that you want to follow. It creates an aura of positivity and you will be more encouraged to pursue the business that you have in mind. Invest in property. You have to have multiple income streams. Having one income stream is risky. Charlie: Do you like investing in yourself? Nicki: All the time. I’ve personally invested in myself and started to learn more and more. Charlie: What does Invest in you, mean to you? Nicki: That means that you take your experiences. Good or bad. And you take your life lessons with them and you use for your next steps. And you share with all the people. Teaser messages: It is not all about you. It’s understanding that your life is all about you and what you believe to be true Live in the moment. Live in the now. It is easier said than done. We all have our story. And we are all facing our own challenges. It is okay to share that story and help others learn from it.

Over the years I’ve created many assets that give me time and financial freedom. Currently, I am focusing on helping other people monetise their knowledge and put their intellectual property online to make money with less hassle. Initially, I started investing in property and grew and scaled that business to become financially free. The next step was to help others do the same, through courses and memberships. Organically I helped other non-property related businesses do the same and that’s when I realised how others could monetise their knowledge. I know what the 3 things are that you need to create an online information business successful. Then I created the methodology of the process the 5 E’s, which helps businesses get their knowledge on line in the form of courses, subscriptions and memberships. My book on this process will be out late November ‘Sack the job, Fire the Clients’. I hope to help as many people stop exchanging their time for money, and I am also working towards helping others in 3rd World Countries escape their equivalent money trap, which is walking 3-4 hours per day to get clean water for their families. For me, it’s all about changing yours and others lives.

Charlie: What do you think is the difference in social media, when comparing different generations? Stacey: Every generation has different ways that they consume information, it’s more the millennial generation that favour Facebook and Instagram. However social media is consumed differently by different generations, there’s not one platform that’s used my one specific generation it’s a spread among multiple that simply follows trends.

Fredrik, Ivan and Charlie dive into the subject of time, how you’re investing it, what you can do with it and why it’s important. Understand the value of time and discover how you too can start to get more done in less time and priorities the important things in life. Learn how to treat your time as currency and invest it in worthwhile things that can increase your wealth, improve your health or simply give you more freedom. It’s difficult to manage your own time and often things can seem urgent but are not actually important so map out your activities a week in advance and create a routine to ensure you’re productive and get everything done. Finally hear how to implement Eisenhower's Urgent/Important Principle and how to use time effectively, not just efficiently. KEY TAKEAWAYS Important activities have an outcome that leads to us achieving our goals, whether these are professional or personal. Urgent activities demand immediate attention and are usually associated with achieving someone else's goals. They are often the ones we concentrate on and they demand attention because the consequences of not dealing with them are immediate. When we know which activities are important and which are urgent, we can overcome the natural tendency to focus on unimportant urgent activities, so that we can clear enough time to do what's essential for our success. BEST MOMENTS “You can trade time for money and when you look at the rich they are careful about how they invest their time” “By spending money to create freedom you are investing in your own time” “Don’t wait until a life-changing moment to decide to change your life.

Welcome to another episode of the Invest In You Podcast. Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan discuss the basics of crowdfunding and how it can help you. There are many way you can invest money and crowdfunding is a growing area. With interest rates close to zero crowdfunding can be a great investment opportunity. Fredrik talks about the need to be smart about the investments you choose and why you should consider the track record of the people involved, as you are heavily reliant on their success. Consider the projects forecast for success and the need to spread your investments across multiple platforms and varies projects. Ensure to think about what your investing in, does it affect the environment? or have negative morale implications? As a borrower of crowdfunding finance, you risk the deal could not get funded, or the platform used not finding you an audience willing to invest. However when a project does obtain investment you can have multiple rounds of funding as your project progresses, and as your status grows you will become more well known and as a result people will approach you to invest in your ventures, rather than you approaching them. Example of a deal - Your property puzzle limited Turning the property into a HMO and toward the end of the project you will obtain a share in the project Region: UK: South-East Term: 1 year Property Type: Residential Property Stage: Existing Property Security: Partially Secured Target Yield: 8.00% https://investincrowd.envestry.com/deals/1922 KEY TAKEAWAYS What is crowdfunding? - Where you fund a project or venture, and raise an amount of money of any amount and back by a number of people, usually conducted via an online platform. How does it work? - If you are on the side seeking funding, you need to create a pitch for your project or venture, understand how much you are looking for and What are fees involved with crowdfunding? - There are potential transactions costs and fees for the crowdfunding platform itself. However if you pick the right one as the investor you will have no fees to pay, these are usually absorbed by the party seeking the funding ie. the borrower. What does the risk warning mean? - This means The crowdfunding platform is not responsible for your money. Such as lack of liquidity, loss of the value of investment, delusion of shareholding. When you invest any lost in value this isn’t covered by the financial services compensation scheme. BEST MOMENTS A crowdfunding platform is like an advertising board, where you can display your project and people can meet each other Always be pitching Only invest money that in theory, you are willing to lose. Spread your investments so that if you lose, you haven’t lost everything, and realise that even in a loss you learn and gain knowledge As crowdfunding investment increases you could end up with less pieces of the pie, although the pie will be much bigger Crowdfunding can compound your finances and give you a great return with interest.

Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall interview Jay Dhillon, serial entrepreneur and business owner with over 18 years experience who works with The Prince’s Trust and helps younger people get into business. Jay started in recruitment, taking a fledgling company from 0-500 staff, doing around £35,000,000 in sales before being selling to an investment firm. Now he invests in property and has an online recruitment business called www.recruitmentboss.com which helps people advertise jobs online. KEY TAKEAWAYS Prince’s Trust is a UK Organisational Charity which has been running for around 50 years, set up by Prince Charles to help young people get into business or find work. Prince’s Trust runs mentorship programmes to help you people realise their business plans. Take advantage of E-Mentoring! What are your top tips for people looking for a job Jay? Make sure your CV is up to date, professionally laid out. This is why investing in yourself is so important, if you can’t do it then pay somebody on Fiverr or another website, $25-50 to get your CV formatted correctly. Also, learn how to interview. This might sound crazy, but the amount of people who I’ve interviewed who haven’t researched the company is crazy. Always quantify yourself, give evidence and show proof, i.e. your figures. Take a written reference too! What should an employer look for when recruiting Jay? High level attitude! I would take someone on who isn’t as good but is willing to stay until 6:30pm and make that extra phone call. When you advertise, make sure you get the right job description. Don’t advertise for peanuts either, look at the value this vacancy will bring to your business. Have you got any good routines in your life Jay? I get up at 5am, do half an hour on my bike or treadmill, then I’ll spend 20 minutes reading a book. I keep a notepad and when I’ve read 3-4 chapters I summarise my book. I do that then set my goals, spend time with my children and drop them off at school, then go to the office. Selling: Get past that first call, once you get past it and you keep doing it and doing it, you get better at anything, so do the best you can and have discipline. BEST MOMENTS Jay, what does Invest In You mean to yourself? I think it’s very important and very underrated. For me it means always improving yourself. I invest in books, education, mentors… This year I’ve invested in my podcast, networking and I’m constantly reading! Spending money is really important if you’ve got it because it really commits you to your programme. Tell us about your property business Jay? My property business started in 2007, with the profits from the recruitment I was buying single lets. Then I moved on to investing in HMOs in 2013. I used to place a lot of my contractors who worked for my agency in there and when they left I went to the professional market. My next venture will be commercial. My goal now is to buy blocks of apartments. I went to university and graduated with a degree in Business Studies, but new nothing about business, it was more about computers! Nothing about cash-flow, profit and loss. After working at a corporate company for two years I realised the whole system took you away from actually selling and making money. Put yourself out there and the opportunities will come. Do everything to the best of your ability, set yourself up routines and always ask questions. Jay, what’s the coolest office you’ve had so far? The best office I had was on Singapore Airlines. I’d never flown business class before. They give you a pen and paper, ask you if you’d like a drink. Working on that airline was my best location if that makes sense. Also, we had a hide in Mauritius for two weeks, top floor hotel apartment and on the balcony was a little desk. When you were working you could hear the waves. Jay on independent and personal growth: The top two tips I would give would be invest in sales and learn how to sell. Always ask the question! Re-negotiate your mobile phone bills, anything you’ve got, ask the question! If you can’t sell, get on the phone and ring your phone supplier and say look, I’ve been with you five years, can you negotiate on my contract? That’ll get you in the mind-set to sell, because that’s a soft sell. Do as much research as you can before setting your business up. Don’t go into it because it sounds good.

DESCRIPTION Charlie, Ivan and Frederick interview Grant Cardone, author of the 10X Concept and billionaire entrepreneur. An inside look at the history behind Grant, the power of investing in yourself, the importance of selling, having the right mentors and getting connected! KEY TAKEAWAYS How can I increase my business by 10% or 50%? Don’t think like that, think in terms of 10X. Have you ever used mentors, Grant? Yes, I’ve always used mentors to guide me along the way. I’ve made a lot of mistakes along the way by picking the wrong people to emulate and follow. You have to be very, very selective. Study not what they do in not just one part of their life but all parts of their lives. Pick the right mentors and people around you. Don’t be satisfied with a piece of life, have it all. “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” ~ Bruce Lee Do the selling or somebody’s gonna sell you! I like to be in charge of the selling, then I can be in charge of the outcome of the situation. What does 10X your business mean? The guy who wants to be a champion at tennis does ten hours, not one. Get obsessed, become completely consumed with the concept. Lebron James slept with a basketball, woke up with a basketball, went to sleep with a basketball, had lunch with the basketball. He felt every little divot, dimple, everything you can touch on that ball he’s gonna know about. Same thing with business people. When you have information and you’re not certain, it takes longer to do and you’re not confident. Success moves to certainty, money moves to certainty and winning moves to certainty! Grant, could you compare traditional schooling vs. specific events? I know you’ve tried both, as have I, what are your thoughts? Well, I like speed and efficiency so for me to pay $7,000 to go to an event that’s 2 days vs. $47,000 to an event that’s going to last a year or two or three. It’s a no-brainer to me! The problem with going to college or university is, who you gonna be connected with? Unless you go to some of the best colleges in the world, it’s going to be a long process. BEST MOMENTS What does it mean to Invest In You, Grant? Investing in myself is the most important investment I can make. It’s a guaranteed, sure thing, I can never lose. You can’t take it away from me! The other part is me knowing the right thing to do, instead of knowing more. A lot of people look to know more instead of be sure of what they do. If Grant Cardone loses all of his money, he will never go to 0. This is because he has so much knowledge and assets, and he’s always selling. Everyone wants to talk about money all the time, we all want to sell better - Stay obsessed. It’s OK to be obsessed! If you left the world, what would be your legacy, Grant? That you guys will be talking about me when your 50, 60 years old! Replicate that 50/60 million times, that’d be awesome! Grant, what’s been your best office so far? Ok, well, 51,000ft, 600 mph, -80˚F outside, going across the sky, most commercial airliners fly at about 40,000ft. There’s no traffic up there! £10,000 of fuel per wing! With internet, it’s cool! Three cameras in the tail, one underneath at the back, one looking down and one at the nose.
