Mike grew up in a middle-class family and had no exposure to any real estate investing or entrepreneurs.  He was always looking for ways to make money or be an entrepreneur from his childhood. Which led him to be serial entrepreneur life.But Mike got burned out doing General contracting and decided to do things on his own. Went to do House hacking and which led him to meet a very successful real estate agent, who became his mentor. Which led him to sell 78 houses in the first 9 months. He also built a big multi-family investing business.Making a big accounting mistake without letting investors know, due to over-leveraging his properties know got him trouble, due to the market going down rapidly during the 2009 downturn. And he learned many big lessons about paying attention to people around him and that he should have listened to people around him and their advice, i.e. people close to him.Getting a mentor when he was in jail, who told him not to let anyone steal his accomplishments, got him to work out both physically, mentally, and spiritually. Writing books and so on, teaching real estate investing, telling his story to help others. His story is now an inspiration to others who have fallen.Mike's website: https://mycoreintentions.com/Michael Morawski is 30 plus year real estate investment veteran.  Mike is an entrepreneur, author, trainer, public speaker, and personal coach, with strong personal resilience and a deep desire to help others live extraordinary lives.  He has coached hundreds of real estate investors to fulfill their dreams. Would love your feedback.

Most of us see ourselves as free because we're not shackled in the physical sense, but the reality is, the vast majority of real estate pros (and even human beings, more generally) are living in a constant state of mental prison.   What does that actually mean, and more importantly, how did we get to this point? What is mental prison stopping us from achieving, and is there any way to break free, for good?   In this episode, author of Exit Plan, Michael Morawski shares how to stop getting caught up in the confines of our own minds.  Three Things You'll Learn in This Episode    How to make a bigger impact in the world What does it take to make a real difference in people's lives? Is there a limit to how much of an impact we can make?   What mental prison looks like among real estate pros Are we failing to reach our goals because we're not good enough, or simply because fear is stopping us from trying in the first place?    How to practice gratitude every single day How can we shift our energy from lack and limitation to the things we've already achieved and are most thankful for?   Guest Bio   Michael Morawski is a trainer, entrepreneur, public speaker, personal coach and the author of Exit Plan.

Today on The Wealth Secrets Podcast, Sean Adams talks to Michael Morawski, a multi-family real estate coach with 30 years of industry experience. Mike is also an author, entrepreneur, trainer, public speaker, and personal coach. He shares the story of how he built several successful businesses, how he lost it all during the recession, and how he bounced back from the lowest point in his life. [01:55] Getting to know Mike Morawski [05:50] People are more than willing to help [09:33] We don't need to know everything [14:06] How Mike handled The Great Recession [22:29] Don't let pride, ego, and greed control you [24:29] Pay attention to the details [29:39] Screen the people you work with [35:28] 10 years in prison: “Do the time or let the time do you” [39:18] Bouncing back with gratitude and a new mindset Mike got his start in real estate after meeting a successful agent who became his mentor. He taught him the ropes and had a very successful first year, selling 78 houses in total. Eventually Mike built his own team that specialized in selling residential property. In 2005, Mike saw a shift towards apartment syndicate investing and did the same. He built a property management company that handled thousands of units. In the process of scaling his company, he made the mistake of not paying enough attention to the details. When the recession hit in 2008, some of his businesses were greatly affected. In an effort to try and save it, he inadvertently committed fraud by moving money between his companies. This landed him in federal prison for 10 years. He admits letting his pride get the better of him. Instead of coming clean to his investors about the companies' state, he tried to find a solution that did not work in his favor. During the early days of his sentence, Mike felt lost and defeated. But through the encouragement of a trainer, he changed his perspective. While serving time, he exercised, wrote a book, attained a bachelor's degree, and taught ethics among other endeavors. He maximized his time in prison and has come out as a better man, with a renewed sense of gratitude and purpose. The key takeaways to Mike story are: don't be afraid to ask for help, pay attention to tiny details, screen the people you work with, and show more gratitude.

[01:55] Getting to know Mike Morawski [05:50] People are more than willing to help [09:33] We don't need to know everything [14:06] How Mike handled The Great Recession [22:29] Don't let pride, ego, and greed control you [24:29] Pay attention to the details [29:39] Screen the people you work with [35:28] 10 years in prison: “Do the time or let the time do you” [39:18] Bouncing back with gratitude and a new mindset Mike got his start in real estate after meeting a successful agent who became his mentor. He taught him the ropes and had a very successful first year, selling 78 houses in total. Eventually Mike built his own team that specialized in selling residential property. In 2005, Mike saw a shift towards apartment syndicate investing and did the same. He built a property management company that handled thousands of units. In the process of scaling his company, he made the mistake of not paying enough attention to the details. When the recession hit in 2008, some of his businesses were greatly affected. In an effort to try and save it, he inadvertently committed fraud by moving money between his companies. This landed him in federal prison for 10 years. He admits letting his pride get the better of him. Instead of coming clean to his investors about the companies' state, he tried to find a solution that did not work in his favor. During the early days of his sentence, Mike felt lost and defeated. But through the encouragement of a trainer, he changed his perspective. While serving time, he exercised, wrote a book, attained a bachelor's degree, and taught ethics among other endeavors. He maximized his time in prison and has come out as a better man, with a renewed sense of gratitude and purpose. The key takeaways to Mike story are: don't be afraid to ask for help, pay attention to tiny details, screen the people you work with, and show more gratitude.

BIO: Mike Morawski is a 30+ year real estate investment veteran. He has controlled over $285,000,000 in real estate transactions. STORY: In 2008, when the economic crisis hit the US, Mike decided to find ways to protect his investors. He moved money from companies that were performing well into those that were underperforming. It seemed to work, but he had not informed his investors about it, so he was jailed for 10 years for fraud. LEARNING: Communicate with your investors regularly and always follow your business mandate. Listen to outsiders and pay attention to red flags.   “Just because you act unethically doesn’t mean you break the law, but enough unethical actions ultimately will cause you to break the law.” Michael Morawski   Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-morawski/ (Michael “better known as Mike” Morawski) is a 30+ year real estate investment veteran. He has controlled over $285,000,000 in real estate transactions. Mike is an entrepreneur, author, real estate trainer, public speaker, and personal coach with strong personal resilience and a deep desire to help others live an extraordinary life. He has coached hundreds of real estate investors to fulfill their dreams. Worst investment everBefore 2008 Mike’s real estate business was flourishing. Then 2008 came around, and the US was hit by the worst economic crisis the world’s ever seen. Mike believed that he could weather the storm. But, his properties started bleeding. People moved out. In 2010 everything imploded. Trying to protect his investorsThings were getting really bad, and Mike tried to find ways to protect his investors. One idea was to take money from good, profitable companies, move it into nonprofitable companies, and hopefully keep the whole ship afloat. So he started moving money back and forth. Mike’s attorney and accountant both said it was acceptable to do that as long as they left notes so that the money is traceable. Not communicating with the investorsMike’s idea was great and was working. The only mistake he made was not telling his investors about it. He was charged with wire fraud and mail fraud charges for this mistake and ultimately sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. Mike lost everything, including the real estate business. As if that was not enough,17 days after being in prison, his wife decided to leave him. Surviving prisonMike was having a pretty hard time in prison. Six weeks into his jail term, he walked into the gym one day, and this guy came up to him and said, “Hey, don’t let these people beat you up. All they want to do is take everything from you. They can take your apartments, your cars, your houses, they can ruin your family, but they can’t take what you’re made of. They can’t take your brains, they can’t take your desire, and they can’t take your energy.” This was the best advice Mike has ever gotten. As a result of that advice, he decided to do the time in jail and not let the time do him. Building his life againWhile in prison, Mike went to college and got a four-year degree in theology. He also wrote two books. He came back home from jail in better shape physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually than he’d ever been in his life. Lessons learnedGrowing too fast is not necessarily a good thingMike’s business grew too fast. He hired too many people and had a bloated payroll. He paid too much for properties instead of negotiating, thinking that the market would keep going up. This is what caused his business to suffer when the economic crisis hit. Listen to outsidersSometimes people outside your business are in a better position to see things objectively. Seek their opinions and consider their advice. Pay attention to red flagsMike had his head buried in the sand. He didn’t look at the KPIs deep enough, and all of a sudden, his business was burning down to the ground. Andrew’s takeawaysAways follow your business mandateBefore you do anything, have your investors and...
