Your small town might be the best place to invest in real estate, even if it's got only a few thousand residents. We know—everyone has told you to go to the bigger, growing cities where you can chase appreciation, but today's guest might change your mind. He was able to scale to over twenty rental properties in just a few years, all by buying in his rural Ohio town that you've probably never heard of. Even better? He bought the rentals with none of his own money, AND he was cash-flowing THOUSANDS per month. So how do you do it, too? Josh Bauerle tried to invest in real estate back in 2006. What was supposed to be a “quick flip” turned into a thirteen-year investment, which (thankfully) made a bit of money by the end. After taking a decade off from real estate investing, he got back in the game, first by buying a rental from his father and then by purchasing a twelve-unit real estate portfolio from a local friend. He then scaled FAST to a serious amount of rentals, all in a tiny town with a small population. After that, he stumbled upon the best-kept cash flow secret in real estate investing: section 8 rentals. Today, Josh is sharing how he did it without using his own money, and how you can do it, too, whether you're in a sizable city or a small town. In This Episode We Cover: Why living in a small town is a HUGE advantage for real estate investing Seller financing 101 and how to buy rental properties without getting a traditional loan Using other people's money to build a rental property portfolio Section 8 rentals, the pros and cons, and why they get you MORE rent than regular rentals The simple way that Josh has found his off-market real estate deals with social media And So Much More!

   When a machine breaks down, it's clear that there's a flaw in its mechanics or system, which can be identified and fixed to make the machine work again. However, dealing with complex living systems like families, workplaces, or the natural environment,  success systems are  not so straightforward. These systems are dynamic, lacking a simple baseline to restore, and they often overlap and interconnect with other systems. As a result, successful systems can be illusive, and implementing simple solutions can easily backfire.    A Systems Thinking mindset helps problem-solvers approach, consider, and predict the outcomes of their ideas, making it an invaluable concept when dealing with any system.  Business system support helps business owners learn to fish rather than be given a fish.    But how can you develop a systems mindset? Our guest in this episode will be a fantastic resource on this topic.    Josh is a consultant, coach, and speaker, who specializes in business system analysis and business systems for small business.   With his skills in business system analysis he is the sole worldwide licensing agent for the Work the System Method, based on Sam Carpenter's book Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less,  now in its fourth edition.

You don't wait to make $1 million to become the million-dollar business owner. You start being that person today and tomorrow and the next day.  Kendall SummerHawk started filtering all of her decisions and activities through that lens. Money is power, money is freedom, money is choice. She's been making $1 million or more every year since 2008. There's no magic here. There's work, there's goal setting, and there's understanding what your blocks are.  Kendall says she began her career in IT working in corporate health care. She knew she wanted out. She also knew she was ambitious and wanted to make money. She started a nine-month personal development course and learned about coaching. She says you have to follow those seeds of interest – her course led her to create her business. She says it failed miserably in the first year, but she's gone on to make close to $30 million. She also learned the value of a client from her mother, who was a successful hairdresser. Her mother honored and revered her clients; she treated them like gold. Kendall started talking openly about money. It's only in our lifetime that women have had the ability to be entrepreneurs and self-employed. “It's very new for women to have this kind of authority and autonomy and opportunity and power and flexibility,” says Kendall. If you're thinking about starting a business, you're looking for inspiration, but a lot of women are looking for permission. It's natural to go to the people closest to us, our spouse or our parents or girlfriends or whatever, and who may not understand, who may feel threatened even though they love you and they say they support you.  Be selective about who you share your numbers with. Share them with other women who are ambitious, who are in business for themselves, and whose competitive spirit isn't against you. The other thing is the mindset of running your life and your business like a $1 million business owner. Kendall started with a filter: How would $1 million business owner do this? She started with how a $1 million business owner would handle her email. She outsourced household chores. They were small changes. She went from $100,000 to $564,000 and the next year went on to earn a full million.  Kendall says she looked at her pricing to adjust her mindset. The first thing to do is raise your prices, which might involve changing your pricing structure. They cause a very big shift internally for women and how they view their services and how they view giving value. For example, Kendall advocates creating packages for service-based businesses. A money block might be thinking, “How can I charge so much when I only spent x number of hours?'  “Every business on the planet has an opportunity for a high-ticket offer,” says Kendall. “I don't care if it's brick and mortar or any kind of service space.” Take Kendall's Sacred Money Quiz to discover your money archetype: https://www.sacredmoneyquiz.com  Connect with Kendall SummerHawk: https://kendallsummerhawk.com  https://instagram.com/kendallsummerhawk  Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: Money Beliefs That Hold You Back from Making More https://sarahwalton.com/money-beliefs/  How to Manage Your Money Before Divorce https://sarahwalton.com/financial-planning-for-divorce/  3 Easy Tips for Your Sales Conversations https://sarahwalton.com/sales-conversations/  You can check out our podcast interviews on YouTube, too! http://bit.ly/YouTubeSWalton   Thank you so much for listening.

If you are trying to figure out what you need to know about your financial situation before you make any big moves – from divorce to losing a career -- we're taking the first steps in today's episode.  Alison Hall is the founder of Change Agent Coaching for Women and co-founder of The Boldest Me, a personal development and empowerment brand for women affected by divorce. After successful corporate career spanning 25 years, she pivoted to entrepreneurship. Alison says women with bosses tend to think they won't be able to make the money they're making if they leave their situation. They might think they're not qualified enough.  “I truly believe that we all have the capacity to make as much money as you want or need,” says Alison. “If you can say to yourself, ‘Oh gosh, I can't,' then why can't you just flip it and say ‘I can,' and think of all the ways that you can do something?” Fear is limiting, and it takes over. I'm afraid I'm not going to make enough money. I'm afraid my kids aren't going to eat. So, you make decisions based on those limited beliefs. When you take all of those negative thoughts and just practice thinking about an equal, opposite, positive thing. Well, I'm a pretty smart person. I could probably figure it out. There's nothing in my way other than me, so I could probably get a better job. Maybe I could start a business doing what it is I love. It takes a lot of practice. As a certified divorce financial analyst and tax planner, Alison loves the strategy aspect of working with the numbers. Alison works only work with women because in the majority of divorces, women are the ones who are going to maintain the most responsibility for children and households, but who come out the worst in settlements, mainly for lack of knowledge. Alison says many of the women she works with don't know anything about their finances. They may pay the bills, but they don't know what's going on in the background. Very often they don't know what benefits their spouse has. They don't know their rights about those benefits. They don't know that the marital assets belong to everybody. “I wish more women would not give up, you know, rights to information. That they are equal parties,” says Alison. And it's not just divorce where this lack of knowledge can become a factor. Sometimes, your spouse might become incapacitated. If you have all the information yourself, then you can advocate for yourself. Our primary relationships and our businesses are so intertwined. Our romantic relationships can be a part of how we view ourselves in the world. Alison says the first step any woman should take is to pull their head out of the sand and acknowledge what you don't know about your finances.  Don't be afraid to know your numbers. Don't be afraid to know where things stand. Don't be afraid to look and find. Pick one thing and get a win. You don't have to start the goals too high at the start. Maybe the first day is finding all the credit cards.  Connect with Alison Hall: https://whitehalldivorcesolutions.com, or on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alisonhall-coach-women/  Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: What Women Need to Know to Manage Their Money https://sarahwalton.com/money-management-women/  Do You Know Your Financial Personality https://sarahwalton.com/know-your-financial-personality/  Money Beliefs That Hold You Back from Making More https://sarahwalton.com/money-beliefs/  How to Talk About Money as a Family Unit https://sarahwalton.com/family-money-management-amanda-neely/  You can check out our podcast interviews on YouTube, too! http://bit.ly/YouTubeSWalton   Thank you so much for listening.

Money can be fun! If you're afraid to hire a financial planner, you're going to be so happy to meet Lisa Crosta. You don't have to be afraid to talk about money, and today, we dive into what can happen when women get clarity about money management. Lisa decided to become a certified professional accountant (CPA) because she wanted to work with people. She recognized finances can be confusing; there's so much jargon and misinformation. She is the Director of Wealth Management of BPP Wealth Solutions where her all-women team helps clients better understand their financial picture so they can achieve their dreams.  “This is everyday math that makes sense with what we do with life,” says Lisa. “And when you start talking to people about money, they open up to you about incredible things.” Money is the most powerful tool we have access to, but for the most part, no one teaches us how to use it.  Lisa says if she could change one thing about the money conversation, it would be to have parents talk to their children about it. She says there's rarely a discussion about the concept of how much things cost and it can be confusing for kids. If a parent says no to buying ice cream for their child, it might be because it's too close to dinnertime rather than the item being expensive.  Lisa says it's important to use money appropriately as a tool, not as an excuse when you want to discourage behavior. There is a morality that we assign to money; we put emotion into it. Many of her clients are initially nervous about sharing their cash flow with her. Looking at the money coming in and going out, people think they're in trouble, and they will have to budget.  Some people want to save, and others are fine with putting their 401K aside and spending the rest. Financial planners give them projections – there are a lot of assumptions. You can see that if this is how you live, this is where you'll be at 65. Lisa says, the projection may or may be good, but don't you want to know? “It's not about who has the biggest pile [of money],” says Lisa. “It's can you do what you want to do with what you have?” “I find the women that choose not to get married and are managing themselves are fine. It's when they're relying on somebody else, and then they end up with divorce or death. They get sideswiped,” says Lisa. At some point, you will manage that money, and understanding the various assets and how they work from a tax standpoint and an inheritance standpoint is key. Lisa says understanding what you own, how it's titled, and how to invest it is the most important.  “You can't put everything in a drawer and wait till you're 65 and pull it out,” she says. She suggests hiring a professional. Tax laws have gotten complex. There used to be just one retirement account – pensions. Now, there are different rules with many different types of retirement accounts. In managing money, knowledge truly is power.

Born in the United States, Azby Brown is an architect and accomplished author of Japanese design and architecture who embarked on a transformative journey to Japan. He recalls his story in today's book, The Genius of Japanese Carpentry: Secrets of an Ancient Craft.In this episode, I go through his writings about a traditional pagoda construction at Yakushiji Temple in Nara, which took place throughout the 1980s. We learn about the guidance Azby received under master carpenter Tsunekazu Nishioka during that time, as well as the ancient knowledge, wisdom, and way of life that Nishioka practiced. The book also serves as a practical guide for learning the step-by-step process of assembling temple buildings using traditional Japanese methods. I especially enjoyed the book because it offers a rare and personal window into the life of a community of Japanese carpenters. The book also evoked a sense of somber reflection in me, as it conveyed the gradual disappearance of the invaluable craftsmanship embodied by Nishioka and his team.If you'd like to dive deeper into Azby Brown's work, have a look at some of his most popular books below:* The Very Small Home: Japanese Ideas for Living Well in Limited Space* Just Enough: Lessons in Living Green from Traditional Japan * Small Spaces: Stylish Ideas for Making More of Less in the Home * The Japanese Dream House: How Technology and Tradition Are Shaping New Home DesignPlease subscribe to the Local Japan Substack for free.

In today's episode, I'm thrilled to be in conversation with Josh Fonger, a distinguished consultant, coach, speaker, and the CEO of WTS Enterprises. With his expertise in Business Performance Architecture, Josh has been a beacon of transformation for stressed entrepreneurs, guiding them from working “in” their business to strategically working “on” their business. Through the use of effective systems, he's enabled consistent profit and freedom for numerous businesses. With Josh's wealth of experience and actionable insights, the discussion offers a roadmap to entrepreneurs seeking not only profitability but also freedom through the power of effective systems. Whether you're struggling with productivity, efficiency, or strategic planning, this episode promises valuable takeaways for every entrepreneur. Key Discussion Points From ‘Work the System' to WTS Enterprises: We kick off by discussing Josh's journey from being inspired by Sam Carpenter's book "Work the System" to eventually founding his own consulting company centered around the Work the System (WTS) method. Embracing a Systems Mindset: Delving into the challenges and necessities of adopting a systems mindset in business, our conversation highlights the shift from reactive to strategic business planning and operations. Strategic Objectives for Success: Josh and I emphasize the importance of defining strategic objectives and aligning your day-to-day operations with these goals to sculpt your ideal business and life. Productivity Quantification: We explore the value of quantifying productivity by evaluating the worth of systems or processes, underscoring the importance of not just focusing on progress qualitatively but also appreciating the quantitative aspects. Efficiency through Delegation: Sharing practical examples, we discuss how codifying and delegating systems can lead to significant time and financial savings while ensuring that business goals are uncompromised. Systemizing for Efficiency: Closing the discussion points, we touch upon real-life case studies where implementing systems notably increased efficiency and profitability while reducing working hours and stress for business owners. Reflecting on our engaging conversation, consider how a systems mindset can revolutionize the way you approach your business. How can implementing strategic, well-defined systems relieve you of stress and afford you more freedom and profitability? Ponder over these insights and practical examples shared by Josh in our dialogue, and you might find the key to transforming not only your business but also your life.

All of Life Makes More with Katherine Roy

Katherine Roy shares Making More: How Life Begins, distilling the science of reproduction into its simplest components and highlighting the astonishing variety of this process with examples from across the natural world, from ferns and butterflies to trout, hawks, rabbits, and more.   BOOK DESCRIPTION: Making More: How Life Begins by Katherine Roy Page Length: 72 pages Ages 9 to 12, Grades 4 to 7   From fish to mammals and plants to insects, every organism on Earth must reproduce, and the survival of each species--and of life itself--depends on this and on the diversity it creates. In this groundbreaking book, Katherine Roy distills the science of reproduction into its simplest components: organisms must meet, merge their DNA, and grow new individuals; and she thoughtfully highlights the astonishing variety of this process with examples from across the natural world, from ferns and butterflies to trout, hawks, rabbits, and more.   Lucid, informed, and illuminated by beautiful paintings, Making More weaves a story that seamlessly explains life's most fundamental process, answers children's questions, and provides an essential tool for parents, caregivers, and educators. NOTABLE QUOTES:   (5:01) “Over time you can get variation through a population and life can change, which gives us biodiversity on our planet, which I absolutely love because we live in a gorgeous planet, um, a beautiful world. And I love looking at life through this lens of thinking about the system of genes and inheritance and how we are all connected. And that makes me feel really alive.”   (7:32) “It's all connected. Every living thing has parents and every cell in our body, every living organism has this story written into itself that go back and back in time to the earliest life on earth.”   (8:51) “What is it that kids wanna know? These are geography questions. How does the baby get out? How did the egg get in? Like, that's a location question. That's a transportation question, right? I can answer this. There's nothing wrong with this.” (12:52) “I think people get funny when kids ask a question about how a baby gets out of its mom. Right? And I don't think there's anything wrong with that question, and I don't ever want a kid to feel like they asked a bad question, because that's a great question and it deserves an answer. And I want kids to feel like they can come to their trusted adult, or their teacher or their parent and ask this question and not be turned away.” (14:10) “I just wanted to give kids a chance to ask these questions and to get answers from a safe and trusted source. And I've done my absolute best to make the information as beautiful and accurate as possible so that kids can have an understanding of how this process works without somebody getting funny on them.”  (19:23) “You know, this book was set in a forest ecosystem because that's where I live, but you live in a different place and maybe a book needs to be written about your habitat and what's making more near you, and it's just a totally different way to look at where you live. So I hope that you go out and enjoy your backyard, your neighborhood, and just have a whole new way to look at it.” ADDITIONAL LINKS: Katherine Roy Website - www.katherineroy.com Purchase the Book - Making More: How Life Begins TALK ABOUT THE EPISODE: Why do living things make more? What is a benefit to creating more of something that shares your same genes? Do you think it's hard to talk about the subject of making more? What about the topic of making more do you think makes some people uncomfortable? Katherine Roy shared that all living things are first developed in one of three different kinds of ponds. Can you remember what this pond is like for fish? What about for reptiles and birds? For mammals? What was a term or fact you learned from this episode that you found interesting or might want to share with someone else?

The Pareto Principle says that 80% of the fruit comes from 20% of the labor. I first learned about this principle when reading 80/20 Sales and Marketing: The Definitive Guide to Working Less and Making More by Perry Marshall. This is not just a sales thing. It can be seen in nature, road traffic, and math. So, I started thinking about how this 80/20 principle applies to our homes and housework. I know that perfection is not attainable. Instead, I've resolved to strive for excellence. What does it look like to be an excellent homemaker? We tend to equate cleanliness with organization. We are looking for order but "cleaning" your house doesn't bring that order.  In this episode, I share with you how I have employed the 80/20 principle in my house to bring it to excellence but not perfection while also giving me time to do what I'm uniquely created to do. (Spoiler alert: We're going to talk more next week about using that extra time!)
