Two-Time NY Times Bestselling Author From her own remarkable experiences, Janet created the profoundly impactful Passion Test process. This simple, yet effective process has transformed thousands of lives all over the world and is the basis of the NY Times bestseller she co-authored with Chris Attwood, The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose & Shine Your Light: Powerful Practices for an Extraordinary Life by Janet Bray Attwood and Marci Shimoff .Janet is a living example of what it means to live a passionate, fully engaged life.

In 2000, Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen paid for 40 of the top marketing experts in the country to come to Newport Beach, CA to consult with them on marketing their book, The One Minute Millionaire. Janet was one of the very first they invited. As a result of that meeting, Robert G. Allen and Mark Victor Hansen asked Janet to partner with them in their Enlightened Millionaire Program. Her personal stories of following her passions, of the transformations which people like Chicken Soup for the Soul author Jack Canfield have experienced with The Passion Test, and the practical, simple exercises she takes people through to discover their own passions are a few of the reasons she gets standing ovations wherever she presents. Janet has given hundreds of presentations and taken thousands of people through The Passion Test process, in the U.S., Canada, India, Nepal, and Europe. Janet is also the founder of The Passion Test for Business, The Passion Test for Coaches, The Passion Test for Kids and Teens, The Passion Test for Kids in lockdown, and The Reclaim Your Power program for the homeless.

Her guests have included Stephen Covey, Denis Waitley, Robert Kiyosaki, Neale Donald Walsch, Paula Abdul, Director David Lynch, Richard Paul Evans, Barbara DeAngelis, marketing guru Jay Abraham, singer Willie Nelson, Byron Katie, Wayne Dyer, Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, Tony Robbins, Rhonda Byrne and many others. These live teleconference interviews have attracted listeners from all parts of the globe. Edited versions of these interviews are made available to over 150,000 subscribers. Her Passion Test process has impacted people worldwide, and The Passion Test phenomenon has resulted in requests from schools to build a passion curriculum, from teachers, trainers and speakers to use the process, and from organizations like NASA to incorporate it in their staff development programs.

This simple, yet effective process has transformed thousands of lives all over the world and is the basis of the NY Times bestseller she co-authored with Chris Attwood, The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose &Shine Your Light: Powerful Practices for an Extraordinary Life by Janet Bray Attwood and Marci Shimoff .Janet is a living example of what it means to live a passionate, fully engaged life.

In 2000, Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen paid for 40 of the top marketing experts in the country to come to Newport Beach, CA to consult with them on marketing their book, The One Minute Millionaire. Janet was one of the very first they invited. As a result of that meeting, Robert G. Allen and Mark Victor Hansen asked Janet to partner with them in their Enlightened Millionaire Program. Her personal stories of following her passions, of the transformations which people like Chicken Soup for the Soul author Jack Canfield have experienced with The Passion Test, and the practical, simple exercises she takes people through to discover their own passions are a few of the reasons she gets standing ovations wherever she presents. Janet has given hundreds of presentations and taken thousands of people through The Passion Test process, in the U.S., Canada, India, Nepal, and Europe.

We all play with an internal set of rules that we aren't even aware is governing us. As entrepreneurs, our financial set point determines how we make decisions, and even the effort we put towards growing our businesses.  It's always a great idea to examine our money beliefs and reset them. “The One Minute Millionaire” is the book Master Business Coach, Jeanna Gabellini recommends to clients struggling to fully commit to their businesses.  In this episode, she shares how this book helped her raise her financial set point and make better business decisions.  Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The secret to going all in without the motivation of urgency It's easy to be all in when you have a deadline, emergency or a huge financial need, but how do we motivate ourselves to chase goals when we're not in pain? For entrepreneurs, it can be hard to commit and get behind a decision if it doesn't feel urgent. To have motivation without urgency, we have to tap into our why and the thing we want to get out of our building our businesses.  Plan for the masses  If we build our businesses without the expectation that it will fail, we will build it differently and won't make it the best it can be. We need to get our head in the game and plan as it's going to be a success right from the start.  Gamifying your goals  Shifting our mental gears about money, and raising our financial set point isn't an overnight process. Our mindset doesn't just change and stay that way. When you're trying to make big leaps, you have to steep yourself in it daily and really let it percolate for the change to last.   Guest Bio  Jeanna Gabellini is a Master Business Coach, Law of Attraction expert, and Chief Rabble Rouser of MasterPeace Coaching. After 20+ years of liberating business owners from the curse of "not enough" and the myth of "hard work pays off," she knows, without question, you can make massive amounts of money and impact millions (even if you've been struggling for years) if you're willing to flip the switch in your thinking, chuck the old-school rules in the toilet, and stay true to what lights you up and turns you on.

Exclusive free training for my Money Tips Podcast followers!   Welcome To The Course, Mastering Money The S.M.A.R.T Way Without Working Any Harder!    Lesson #4   HOW TO ACCUMULATE WEALTH OVER TIME   In this module, we are going to cover saving, investing, and accumulating wealth.   If you cannot save money, the seeds of greatness are not in you. Clement Stone   Get into the habit of saving until you get more satisfaction from rationally putting money aside than you do from irrationally spending it.   The events of the last year has exposed the fact that millions of people have no savings. After years of working in first-world prosperous countries they are broke, and dependent on benefits and foodbanks.    We all need savings to fall back on and to enable us to stop working or at least stop exchanging our time for money. If you have no form of passive income, you can never stop working.   In simple terms, savings can be categorised into three general areas:   Short term  Medium Term Long term    Short term savings can be for a contingency fund for emergencies, holidays or to buy something you need.   Medium term savings can be for larger items, like a deposit for a house, an investment into a business or a car.   Longer term saving is generally for retirement but can also include children's college education.    Pay yourself first   A basic principle is to pay yourself first before you pay everyone else.   Think of saving as paying yourself rather than depriving yourself of candy when your pocket money was taken away from you by your parents.   Savers automatically transfer a percentage of their income into some form of savings vehicle as soon as they receive it and live on the rest.   Spenders spend and live on their salary and save whatever is left over, if any.    Who do you think saves the most money?    Money Master savers also maximise their tax-free allowances into things like tax-efficient pensions and schemes to make sure their money is working hard for them and they are paying less tax.   The poor work hard for their money, the rich make their money work hard for them. Robert Kiyosaki    An easy way to save is to use the ‘jam jar' method that your grandparents used when money was tight, everything was paid in cash and people didn't use banks as they do today.   When the weekly wage came into the household it was divided up, usually by the women, and put into various empty jam jars to cover the rent, fuel, food and replacement items like children's shoes. People also saved for birthdays and Christmas.   You can use this method by dividing your monthly salary into virtual ‘jam jar' separate bank accounts rather than one account.   You can name the accounts whatever you like, but I would suggest something along the following lines:   Emergency or contingency fund Medium term savings Long term savings  Play account – fun things for yourself including trips, meals out and clothes Giving account – for charity donations.    You could also add a training and development account to be invested in yourself in the form of books and courses.   The percentages will vary according to your means.   But the important point here is to get started, even if you can only save 10% of your income. Start this process online right now. Many of the newer “challenger” banks operate entirely online and can set up an account within minutes.   If you're thinking that you cannot possibly save 10% of your income, look at your income and expenditure sheet. If you haven't done one yet check your bank and credit card statements to see where your money goes.    If your budget is so tight and you have economised everywhere and still have absolutely nothing leftover, you may have to consider ways of increasing your income by getting another job or starting a home-based business in your spare time.   I have helped people transform their wealth through my book and coaching programme.     Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of the Chicken Soup For The Soul book series which has sold 500 million copies all other the world, teaches a ‘10,10,10,70' wealth formula in his book, The One Minute Millionaire.   The multi-millionaire entrepreneur advises that you divide your income in the following way:   10% Giving 10% Investing – for the long-term needs 10% Saving – for short to medium-term needs 70% to live on.   Pensions   Start saving for your pension as early as you can and save as much as you can.    As a rough guide, every 5 years of delaying a pension savings plan means your eventual fund will halve in value. In other words, every 5 years you wait, means you will need to pay in twice as much to get the same result.    When we are young, we think we have all the time in the world. But you may not have as much time as you think.    For instance, if you are aged 30 now, you have roughly 30 years of working life ahead of you if you plan to retire at 60. Thirty years sounds like an awfully long time, however, if you break it down into pay or salary cheques, 30 years is just 360 salary payments - 12 per year times 30 years assuming full employment.   At 40, you have just 240 salary payments left, and at 50, just 120, assuming you manage to stay in work and in good health.    Even a full working life of 40 years is only 480 pay cheques. If you save $100 per month for 40 years, it will give you a fund of $48,000 plus growth, less charges. You couldn't live on that for the rest of your life today, let alone in 40 years' time. Even $1000 per month would still only be $500,000 plus growth.   You can still combine pensions with other forms of investing, such as property, stock market and business, and even use your pension scheme to buy shares and commercial property, subject to the rules. This is a specialist subject, and you should take independent professional advice.   Before you jump into something like property, remember that buy-to-let investing does not suit everyone and is certainly not a passive form of investment. Buying property requires knowledge and expertise, as well as a diligent work.     Take independent financial advice on this important area of your life. Don't leave it to chance and risk living in poverty in your old age. If your employer provides a good pension scheme, that's great, if not, or you are one of the millions of self-employed or casual workers, you're on your own and will have to “row your own boat” to retirement.   Don't rely on the government Pension ‘Ponzi' scheme to look after you in retirement   Most government state retirement pension schemes have no actual fund.   Benefits are paid to retirees out of tax collected by working people. If I ran a pension scheme using the ‘Bernie Madoff method' – keep collecting money and use that to pay investors – I'd be put in jail!    The UK Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) research found that in 2004, there were approximately 4 working age individuals (aged 20-64) for every 1 person aged 65 and over.    By 2056 this ratio is predicted to fall to about 2:1 or half the current level.    How can the government afford to fund state pensions at the same level if the income from working taxpayers drops by 50%?    The UK government has already started pushing back retirement ages for men and women and more cuts will be needed.     People are also living far longer in retirement than they did to when the state pensions schemes were introduced after the Second World War. The numbers no longer add up, if they ever did!   These schemes are bust!   Summary Day 4   Saving is a habit. If you cannot save money you will struggle with money and debt for the rest of your life and will never be able to afford to retire comfortably.   Action Steps   Pay yourself first. Set up an automatic transfer of a percentage of your income into ‘jam jar' accounts the day your salary hits your account. Save for retirement as soon as possible. See an adviser or research pensions. Always learn and do your own research before investing in any asset.   Congratulations on completing this module. In the next lesson, we will be looking at reviewing your finances to keep you on track.   If you would like to learn more about investing and managing your money, become a professional property investor, or would like tobe financially free without working any harder, watch this free on demand training.   I will give a special free gift which can help you to immediately transform your finances when you attend the online training.

For those of you who have been, I don't know living in a cave or hiding under the rock for the last 40 years, Mark Victor Hansen is a best-selling author of Chicken Soup for the Soul,

In this episode, Jake and Gino talk with none other than Mark Victor Hansen himself. Along with business partner, Jack Canfield, Hansen is best known for creating what Time magazine called "the publishing phenomenon of the decade". Chicken Soup for the Soul books are one of the most successful publishing franchises in the world today, with more than 500 million books sold internationally and more than 100 licensed products. The name "Chicken Soup" was chosen because of the use of chicken soup as a home remedy for the sick. The first Chicken Soup book, published by Health Communications, Inc., sold more than 2 million copies. There are now over 500 million copies in print and in 54 languages worldwide. In 2005, he co-wrote, along with Robert Allen, the book Cracking the Millionaire Code in which he highlights several self-made millionaires such as Bob Circosta, Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Alexander Graham Bell, Oprah Winfrey, and others, using them as examples of how to build wealth. In 2006, Hansen co-wrote, with Art Linkletter, the book How to Make the Rest of your Life The Best of your Life. In 2010, Hansen co-authored, with Robert Allen, the book Cash in a Flash, as the sequel to the New York Times bestseller The One Minute Millionaire. Here are some of the key takeaways: The size of your thinking determines the size of your life. Education draws out the greatness in you and it starts when you self-educate. You elevate by figuring out what you want. So, we need to know the destination we want to be at. Partnering with a mastermind revolutionizes your life. You create a life you visualize for yourself.

Two-Time NY Times Bestselling Author From her own remarkable experiences, Janet created the profoundly impactful Passion Test process. This simple, yet effective process has transformed thousands of lives all over the world and is the basis of the NY Times bestseller she co-authored with Chris Attwood, The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose &Shine Your Light: Powerful Practices for an Extraordinary Life by Janet Bray Attwood and Marci Shimoff . Janet is a living example of what it means to live a passionate, fully engaged life. A celebrated transformational leader, Janet has shared the stage with people like His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Sir Richard Branson, Nobel Prize winner, F.W. deKlerk, Stephen Covey, Jack Canfield, and many others. She is also known as one of the top marketers in America. In 2000, Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen paid for 40 of the top marketing experts in the country to come to Newport Beach, CA to consult with them on marketing their book, The One Minute Millionaire. Janet was one of the very first they invited. As a result of that meeting, Robert G. Allen and Mark Victor Hansen asked Janet to partner with them in their Enlightened Millionaire Program. Her personal stories of following her passions, of the transformations which people like Chicken Soup for the Soul author Jack Canfield have experienced with The Passion Test, and the practical, simple exercises she takes people through to discover their own passions are a few of the reasons she gets standing ovations wherever she presents. Janet has given hundreds of presentations and taken thousands of people through The Passion Test process, in the U.S., Canada, India, Nepal, and Europe. Janet is also the founder of The Passion Test for Business, The Passion Test for Coaches, The Passion Test for Kids and Teens, The Passion Test for Kids in lockdown, and The Reclaim Your Power program for the homeless. Janet is a golden connector. She has always had the gift of connecting with people, no matter what their status or position. From the influential and powerful, to the rich and famous, to lepers and AIDS patients, to the Saints of India, Nepal, the Philippines and elsewhere—to anyone who is seeking to live their destiny, Janet bonds with every single person, and the stories she shares are inspiring, mind-boggling, uplifting and very real. A co-founder of top online transformational magazine, Healthy Wealthy nWise, Janet has interviewed some of the most successful people in the world about the role of passion in living a fulfilling life. Her guests have included Stephen Covey, Denis Waitley, Robert Kiyosaki, Neale Donald Walsch, Paula Abdul, Director David Lynch, Richard Paul Evans, Barbara DeAngelis, marketing guru Jay Abraham, singer Willie Nelson, Byron Katie, Wayne Dyer, Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, Tony Robbins, Rhonda Byrne and many others. These live teleconference interviews have attracted listeners from all parts of the globe. Edited versions of these interviews are made available to over 150,000 subscribers. Her Passion Test process has impacted people worldwide, and The Passion Test phenomenon has resulted in requests from schools to build a passion curriculum, from teachers, trainers and speakers to use the process, and from organizations like NASA to incorporate it in their staff development programs. It was as a result of taking The Passion Test with Janet that Jack Canfield recognized his passion to be part of a spiritual leaders’ network and out of that came the Transformational Leadership Council. Janet and Chris are both founding members of that organization whose 100+ members serve over 10 million people in the self-development world. Janet Attwood makes magic happen. Her presentations hold audiences spellbound. Her programs attract people from all over the globe. Through her magnetic charisma she is touching the lives of millions of people around the world. janetattwood.com' © 2021 All Rights Reserved © 2021 BuildingAbundantSuccess!!

She realized from the youngest age that even though we all ate out of the same refrigerator, skied on the same slopes, worked in the same garden, and were expected to follow the same rules, the way we each processed the life that rolled out in front of us was very different. Even as a young girl, it intrigued her to watch how each of us made little micro-decisions that led to big differences in how we experienced the world we shared. Through my career success in financial services, real estate, and modeling, one thing was constant in my interactions with people. They would share their problems with me easily, and I seemed to be able to easily help them see a path forward. Often, at their request, I would write down life plans or snippets of conversations they needed to have with someone to resolve a problem in their lives.  Learn more about Crystal Dwyer Hansen right here:  https://crystalvisionlife.com/about/  _______________________________________________________________________________________ THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR INFORMATION:   For more information from our Sponsor BetterHelp.com Online Counseling, offering convenient and private online access to licensed therapists from the comfort of your own home, visit www.betterhelp.com/breakingfree  Listeners of the podcast will receive 10% off on their first month of counseling with discount code "BREAKINGFREE"! ____________________________________________________________________ For more information on REBECCA ZUNG, ESQ. visit her website www.rebeccazung.com and follow her on Instagram: @rebeccazung and YouTube!

Today you can call me The Leadership Hacker.   Thanks for listening in. I really appreciate it. My job as the leadership hacker is to hack into the minds, experiences, habits and learning of great leaders, C-Suite executives, authors and development experts so that I can assist you developing your understanding and awareness of leadership. I am Steve Rush and I am your host today. I am the author of Leadership Cake. I am a transformation consultant and leadership coach. I cannot wait to start sharing all things leadership with you.   Our special guest on today's show is Preston Weekes. He's the co-author of How To Be Up In Downtimes. He's a business builder, an entrepreneur and chief strategy officer and co-founder of Operations X. Before we get a chance to speak with Preston, it's The Leadership pack Hacker News. The Leadership Hacker News   Steve Rush: Do you believe in fate? In the news today, we explore a really strange twist of fate. A kayaker who discovered a message in a bottle floating in the Delaware river was able to reunite the letter with the woman who wrote it 35 years ago. Brad Wachsmuth, thought the bottle bobbing in the water about two miles off shore of the Broadkill River was a piece of trash when he spotted it in August.   It was just a few days after a tropical storm that swept through the area. He told WBOC-TV, as we usually do as characters, we try and pick up the trash out the water as in when we can, but Brad friend noticed there was something inside. And the two fished out the letter written by Cathi Riddle and their cousin, Stacey Wells dated 35 years ago, 1985. They described their family pets and they asked future potential readers if they had any of their own and amongst other things, any childhood musings. Brad took the letter to the Milton historical society and a curator had reached out to the family and put the two in touch. Riddled still only lived a few miles away in Milton, and Brad was able to reunite that letter to her that week. He said he was really surprised it ended up in the same waters decades later after the storms and tides, but maybe it was fate and maybe the letter had gone all the way around the world and the ride back in the same place, who knows? What we do know is two people come together for no other reason through connectivity.   And the leadership lesson here is whenever you send a message, you never know how it's going to be landed. And indeed, when it's going to be truly understood. And it's fair to say, it's unlikely that your method of communication is going to be a letter in a bottle, but please be making sure that you know what you're saying, how you're saying it and who it's going to cause we all receive communication and we will interpret data and information subtly differently. That's been The Leadership Hacker News, if you any quirky, funny, interesting stories you want our listeners to hear, please get in touch. Start of Podcast   Steve Rush: I'm joined on the show today by Preston Weekes. He's an author, a business builder, an entrepreneur. He's a chief strategy officer and co-founder of Operation X and to boot, he's at super, super car enthusiast. Preston welcome to the show.   Preston Weekes: Thank you. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here with you today. I'm excited.   Steve Rush: I asked you before we got on the show, you know, as a car freak, what's your wheels? And I'm sure as people hearing your occurrence enthusiastic, just tell us a little bit about where the car enthusiastic come from and what is your drive at the moment?   Preston Weekes: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Well, I've been a car nut ever since I was a little kid. I was two years old and I'd ride around when kids didn't have to sit on seatbelts, I'd ride on the bumper of my dad's big Cadillac and he'd have challenges with his friends to name every oncoming car that we pass. And I could beat all his friends at two and three years old. So, I've been a car nut ever since I could walk or ever since I was born, but, and then I bought and sold cooler cars too. So, I could up my car from ever since I was 16. And but now, I've been lucky. I've had a lot of amazing cars. I don't have anything too crazy right now, but I've got an old Z3M Coupe, they call it for the car enthusiasts. It's got the nickname, the clown shoe. It's a little hatchback, M3 motor. That's pretty much full track-built car and got a few other fun toys up my sleeve too. But yeah, I absolutely love cars and anyone that likes cars or my immediate best friend.   Steve Rush: So, you're the kind of guy that we want to be on a long journey with when we try and spot the oncoming cars and guess, the car game, right?   Preston Weekes: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You want me on your team, yeah for sure with that. I've done a lot with cars. I've done a little racing. I was in Porsche Club and some different things like that. So, I just, I love, love, love cars.   Steve Rush: Awesome and of course you're now co-founder and chief strategy, officer Operations X. We're going to learn a little bit about what you do in the moment, but tell us a little bit about the backstory as to how you arrived in what you're do now?   Preston Weekes: Yeah. So, I actually started in the car business. So indirectly led me into what I was doing today. So, I had to figure out how to pay for college. That was one of my challenges, I wanted to go to college, decided I wanted to go and so I was ready to go and had to figure out how to pay. I knew cars, so I bought and sold cars and helped me pay my way through college, paid my tuition. And when I graduated, I couldn't find a job that paid me better. And so I went on and I went on doing it and I built a dealership and then built more dealerships and then ended up owning and co-owing 15 different car dealerships with a lot of verticals that came out of that from, you know, paint shops, to mechanic shops, to finance company and all the other things that went with it.   But it all started with one $1,600 dollar car. And I invested in myself and I had that $1,600 dollar car. The first time I went to the auction and went up there, got up to the auction and bought the car. I get 10 minutes out of the auction, the car overheats. And I chalk it up to a learning curve and I didn't even have enough money to tow the car back to my area to my mechanic. So, I take like five hours and I limped the thing home and let it cool down and drive a minute and let it cool down drive a minute. But I ended up taking that and I thought, okay, what can I control? What do I know I can do? You know, I know I can do this. I know there's different investments and things like that. But if I invest it in myself, I'm not afraid to work. I'm not afraid to do it. And I know I can have control over it. So, I did it and I kept doing it and reinvesting in myself and learn the business. And then I got two cars and then I got to 10 cars and then I got into my second dealership and then it just kept growing and growing from there.   Steve Rush: And little would your dad know that sitting on his Cadillac at two would create a business empire that allows you to then pivot away from cars to do what you do now. So, tell us how that came about?   Preston Weekes: Yeah, so the transition, so back in 2010, I was running my dealerships and trying to figure out things and build and grow. And as a business owner and an entrepreneur and especially a small business owner or start-up, you know, money's always a problem and personnel is always a challenge. And I had the lucky, lucky blessing of someone coming to me and saying, hey, there's another option. And I had a cousin that worked in an outsourcing office. It was based in Salt Lake City, Utah. She connected me with my first overseas employee. So, I started in 2010 outsourcing work overseas. And that became the weapon that all the other car dealerships didn't have. It gave us the cutting edge above everyone else. It gave me the ability to not only, you know, grow and expand and be able to afford to do it, but also hire on people on my front-line staff too. And what it did was take my frontline salespeople and actually allow them to focus on the customer and allow them to focus on the sale and allow them to focus on what actually made the money.   And so, you know, going through that and seeing that, and, you know, really having that helped me so much and help me grow and, you know, do all those things. I thought, how cool would that be to be able to provide that for other people someday. And I continued to use that in my businesses throughout. And so, I was in the car business. I actually got recruited by a gentleman named Mark Victor Hansen, who is a famous author, one of the top selling authors in the world, known for Chicken Soup for the Soul book series, a One Minute Millionaire, lightning factor and a number of other things he's got 59 New York Times, number one, best sellers. 309 best sellers, he's just been amazing, but he sold the chicken soup company in 2008 and wanting to invest in renewable technology. So, he pulled me out of the car business. He knew me, we knew each other and he had seen what I'd done in the automotive industry, pulled me out of there and we started renewable energy company. So, we went off that way for a while and built that and sold that, which was great. Now it's put me in the position to where I can focus on helping other companies and helping these people that are going through the challenges that I've been through and that are trying to make it, or they're trying to, you know, be more successful or grow their business or the ability to do all these things. And so, I love being able to do that and I love being able to be a part of that. And now I still work on projects all the time with Mark and I have these great people and we wrote this book together, How To Be Up In Down Times with Mitzi Perdue. Mitzi, her background is from a company called Purdue Farms. I think the third largest chicken company in the world and she's just an amazing person. They ran Purdue Farms. Her dad actually started shared in hotels, which is you know, one of the more well-known hotel chains around the world.   Steve Rush: Certainly is.   Preston Weekes: So, she's a pretty amazing person, but yeah, I've been fortunate to you know, be able to surround myself with all these amazing people and keep doing business to serve others. Because I think that's all it's about really.   Steve Rush: Serving other is the kind of core proposition isn't it of Operations X now. So, when you start to think about how businesses are set up, one of the common mistakes I often observe in other businesses is that whole resistance to outsource. And you called it early by saying that you focused on getting your frontline people focused on the key activities, where they could add most value and removed some of the noise. What do you think the reason is that some businesses just get stuck and don't embrace the opportunity?   Preston Weekes: Well, you know, people like control. You have an alpha, you know, red leader of a company, you know, they want to have control over their company. And so remote work has been, you know, a learning curve for people. And thankfully for me with this whole COVID thing, it's proved it. Now I don't have to prove remote work anymore. Now either people know, okay, remote works for me or I absolutely hate it. And it doesn't work for my company. It's going to make me fail, but you've got an opinion one way or another. You've got an opinion on remote work. Steve Rush: Sure.   Preston Weekes: And often times remote work is incredibly successful, especially now with the emerging technology platforms and different things, the way we connect with people. And so, I think a lot of times, you know, that transition of going okay, you know, to go from, you know, overseas, people don't want to give away control. And people also think about risk, you know, naturally, you know, I was like, oh, I send all my stuff away somewhere, someone I don't know, you know, kind of a thing, but what's interesting. And what's really great that when people get into remote work, they realize these are just people. They just live somewhere else. It's not liked some big, crazy conspiracy thing. If you find the people that have the skills that you need and communicate the way you want them to communicate, then there's no reason not to work with people around the world. I'm going to get into it a little bit, I really think there's some big changing trends coming up. Obviously, we we've gone through crazy trends, 10 years of change in three months across the world. I really believe that and I could probably go off for a long time about that, but I won't right now.   But you know, looking at more changes in the pipeline, all the real estate and workforce situation is going to change. You know, what our office is going to look like for companies? What is a home environment look like for work? Who is the computer and the family and everything planned together with that? And so that stuff's happening and a trend is going to follow that. Like now a lot of people are liking working from home because they go, well, shoot, I just had to commute an hour to work. Say, let's say you have to commute an hour to work. We just picked up an extra over a work day by working from home. Cause over your five-hour work week, you just picked up 10 hours. If you work in an eight-hour day, you have over an extra day of your life back every single week if you're working from home.   And so, you know, I think the trends going, keep going that way. And then I think another you know, side effect thing that's going to fall out of that if people aren't paying attention to right now and keeping their head up, they'll find themselves behind the eight ball a little bit. Because let's say remote works adopted. Let's just agree on that.   Steve Rush: Right. Preston Weekes: Let's just say some percentage remote work, the world adopted it. So now, what's stopping us from having borders on remote work?   Steve Rush: Exactly. What do you think is stopping us? Is there anything?   Preston Weekes: Nothing and it's past perception. It's trust, it's control, you know, it's those things. And in certain businesses, you know, there's some of those things that you can't overcome, like highly sensitive information and certain processes or Government things but most businesses, you know, you can get around that once you kind of open yourself up to it. It's just been amazing; our offices are based in the Philippines. Most of the remote employees we've worked with have been in the Philippines, which has been a really great fit for our culture here because it's predominantly, they follow a lot of predominantly western culture. There is things line up that are similar, you know, they tend to make those transitions easier. So, there's less teaching, less understanding, less breakdowns and things like that. Once people understand, you know, that this sounds strange. I mean, saying it out loud, but when I meet with clients or companies here in the United States, initially they immediately think less of the people that are not around them. You know? So, they go, oh, if I'm going to hire a remote team, they're not going to be as good as the team, you know, that lives on my street.   And there's this weird kind of thing that happens. There is a breakdown and actually a lot of these people, I mean, they're just as good or better than people you'd find. Because they're just people, they're just normal people. You're going to find good ones. You're going to find bad ones. And there's some of the most hard working and talented people know all over the world. So, it's going to be interesting to see, you know, what that looks like in the future with like the breakdown of work orders and then incorporation of AI into different things. I think our world's going to get so fast in the next 10 years and I could go on and on for that.   Steve Rush: I wonder also, if you think about the dynamic of recruiting, somebody remotely, you haven't got the physical biases that you might have when you first meet somebody, right? So, you haven't got the handshake, you haven't got the broader perspective of them. You might not be able to see their height, their size, their weight, all of which unconsciously, we carry some of these biases around with us, whether they're good, bad, or indifferent, we all have them. And given that the fact that they're not present, I suspect and I wonder if we're more thoughtful about the recruitment process for hiring the person to their skillset directly.   Preston Weekes: And that's actually, you know, an interesting thing because if you look at the mentality of hiring, it is very natural for companies to hire demographically, similar people. And you look at that as the culture of a company and you go well, and maybe there's some advantages if there's a very narrow niche market company that they're dealing with, but you know, maybe they're lacking some diversity and they're missing out on some market opportunity or, you know, different things like that too. You know, that actually naturally happens in the hiring process where you go, okay, you know, you see a lot a company with a lot of older people in it. They hire a lot of older people. You see a company with a lot of younger people and they don't hire a lot of older people.   Yeah, there's interesting dynamics with hiring. And if you go back to, you know, just basically skillset, I mean, that does bring this raw authenticity to it. It's kind of great and that's where our company comes in is, we're trying to help people because people don't know, you know, people don't know. How the heck do I do this? How can I trust them guy, give him my information, they are across the ocean, I can't, you know, go knock on their door if there's a problem? So, you know, we bring connectedness and we bring local representation too. So, say if you were replacing employees with me and I was your account rep, you know, you'd have your team there and they'd be working in our offices and we'd help them all set up and everything. But if you ever had a problem with it, you'd call Preston, say, hey, hey Preston, there's a problem here. Can you help me figure this out? And we sorted out and we off boredom, we hired someone else. We figure out if there's a breakdown in communication and try and resolve it. And so, we do all those other things to help support it because it's our goal to make successful outsourced relationships work and make them last and make them strong.   Steve Rush: Super fascinating. You've written a book. How To Be Up In Down Times with Mark Victor Hansen and Mitzi Purdue. How did the book come about?   Preston Weekes: Yeah, so it was actually funny. I was in a consulting meeting with Mark and Mitzi. They're both very good friends of mine. And we were talking and Mitzi was saying, it was very, very, very early when the first words of the whole COVID thing were happening. Mitzi is really, really smart lady that has a lot of a medical background and things like that. And she says, hey, I want to do a book that's 52 ways to help keep people safe from COVID and her legal team said, no, no, no, no, no, you can't do that. Someone's going to get sick. You're going to get sued. You know, you can't go out there and provide medical advice to an emerging disease and no one knows anything about. And so, you know, she said that and she was disappointed. We were on a phone call and I said, well, how about you just do a book 52 ways to stay positive during isolation.   Because now the world's going on lockdown. And she's like, I love that idea. And basically, we started collaborating and just had this mind melt of, you know, flow of great ideas and brought Mark in. And it was just this brainstorm of positivity, our goal was to help people and give people what they needed right now. And so, we took all the information we knew and we took all the information from all the experts that we know, which that you could ever even want to access. But yeah, we put this together and we did it to serve people and we did it, you know, I mean, if you look on Amazon, we priced the thing as low as possible because we want to help people. We want to pay it forward. I want to up people's lives right now when they're having a challenge, when they're having a downtime and that's how all this came about. And so, it's really from my heart and Mark heart and Mitzi heart to go on and help the world.   Steve Rush: And I love that principle because it is very philanthropic when you read it and you've got three kinds of approaches when you look at the book. You've got the soul tips, the mind tips and the body tips. And I thought, what would be kind of neat is if we maybe just take a couple of those tips out of the book, just to give a flavour to our listeners as to kind of how you've kicked it around and what that means. So, under soul tips, you've got negative news, how to deal with it. How do you deal with negative news?   Preston Weekes: Well, this is a big, big, big issue, you know, right now. I mean how I deal with it, tell you the truth. I'm probably a little more extreme. I don't even have TV in my house. We've got all of our, you know, digital things and I get the news and I listen to news briefs every morning and you know, those things and we've got every sort of, I think, online streaming thing you could possibly have, but yeah, I don't have any network television in my home because, you know, it's just this pounding, pounding, relentless negativity, and really what you surround yourself with weighs so heavily on yourself. And a lot of times we don't realize it, and so now I had a conversation with a good smart friend the other day, and he had a great reverse engineering idea, which I love that approach in life to reverse engineering everything.   But he said, if you're stressed out or if you're feeling anxiety, or if you're feeling these things, he's like, take a look, hey, just take a conscious look at what you're watching. Are your TV shows, stressful TV shows as the news you're watching, you know, stressful news that you're consuming because you're putting in all these subconscious factors into your body and into your mind and it sits in you and it stays. And I mean, in the beginning of the soul kind of section, I have a chapter called your position in the world really quickly to kind of pin that down. It all comes down to yourself. We really need to take care of ourselves because if we can't take care of ourselves, then it's so much harder to go take care of. It's inauthentic to go take care of other people.   Steve Rush: It is.   Preston Weekes: And so, we really need to have that solid, solid grounding. And then that, you know, we give a lot of different tips to do that and go through these different, you know, methods to go, okay, you know, how can we get cantered? How can we do this? How can we be better? How can we, and then, you know, move on from there. What's the next step?   Steve Rush: That's great and under mind tips. One thing that really intrigued me when I read that was around how music brings results. Just tell us a little bit about the research that you've done that.   Preston Weekes: Yeah, so I am friends with a guy named Dr. Bernard Bendok. He's the head of neurology for Arizona. And he's a head of neurology for the Mayo Clinic. Mayo Clinics are really a really prestigious hospital. So, he is like literally one of the top, top guys with brains. And I had the amazing experience of sharing Easter with him. And so, we were just sitting there chatting. He was telling me about the two ways to basically, you know, make your brain strong and make your brain last. Because there's always things like Alzheimer's and dementia and things that people fight. And how do we make that better? How do we make our brain more powerful? And he said, he gave me the two tips and one of them is music and the other one is actually language. He said the two most powerful, interactive things in all the studies they've done when they tear apart the top of your head. And they plug in all those electrodes and they see what's firing when they do these tests because you're awake when they do the brain surgeries, which is so amazing anyway, but they actually have people come in and they're playing the piano and doing things. And they're doing these tests on them and music lights up more places in your brain than pretty much any other function of what you can do. And so, it's one of the top exercises. And what Dr. Bendok says is that your brain is like a muscle, you know, and just like exercising, like if you get a cast, if you break your arm and your arms stuck in a cast, can't use it. You get your cast off four weeks later and your arm is weak, it's not strong, it's fatigued. Well, your brain's the same way.   And so, if we're not doing things and you know, daily, to push our brains to try to do something, to try to learn, to try to do that, then our brain is like that muscle its fatiguing. I mean, it might be kind of, you know, staying there. So, I have a mantra called, I like to say relentless improvement, and I have this theory that the world's always moving. So, it's literally is, the world's moving. I am sitting here in my office. I'm not moving, but everything around me is moving. All these people are doing things, always, you know, people are getting things done, they're working, they're learning, you know, life's happening around me. And so that's creating this motion, this inherent motion around me, that's always happening. And so, I am either progressing or digressing, if everything around me is moving forward. And I'm not, then I'm going backwards.   Steve Rush: That's really a neat way of looking at it, actually.   Preston Weekes: Yeah, that's a little personal, you know, that's from my life of action training stuff. So back to the music thing, you know, if we can do things like, you know, learn a new instrument that will help your mental acuity, you know, throughout late into your life. So, we should always be trying to do those things. I bought a drum set the other day. Well, not the other day, a couple months ago, but I don't know how to play drums, but I'm stuck at my office. And when I want a break, I put my headphones on and I just go rock out. And it probably sounds terrible, but I've got noise cancelling headphones on my head. And I sound like a rock star, I don't care. And I'm having a lot of fun.   Steve Rush: But it's also a kind of therapy as well, Isn't it? Because from mindful perspective, when you really focus on a piece of music, you just love. Preston Weekes: Oh yeah.   Steve Rush: You don't think of anything else. You just get focused in the moment, which also not only is it a stimuli, you become more centred because you're more mindful.   Preston Weekes: Oh, and the drums are too. Because it's like a physical manifestation of your, you know, beating of your rhythm and so, I like it.   Steve Rush: Yeah Lovely. And then in your body tip section, one thing that I found really fun to get my head around was you have this section called, don't forget your thumbs. Tell us about that?   Preston Weekes: Well, you know, what's funny, I myself personally am kind of an OCD hand cleaner.   Steve Rush: And even more so now, I guess?   Preston Weekes: Yeah, even more so now, but you know, just going back to it, like the body tips, you know, the body tips itself, don't forget your thumbs. These things that we do to our body and we have that Tyler, your health as well, but kind of starts out, you know, the body section, but you know, really taking care of yourself and paying attention to those details and not missing it and thinking about it and being conscientious, you know, I mean with the whole pandemic thing and the whole, you know, getting sick thing. And I think a lot of times people don't realize, and I think it's just being aware, you know, how much you touch things and you know, like I watch it because I've got kids.   And so, you know, my kids, I will go wash your hands, you know, say, go wash your hands, make sure they wash your hands really well. And then they turn around and they grabbed a toilet and like, well, okay, that was pointless now. And so, if we're washing our hands, I mean, it's such a silly thing. You know, you wash your hands and people don't think about their thumbs. They would rub their hands together and they don't get through. So, it's their attention to detail. Like bringing that little attention to detail, but that's one thing with the book is, you know how to be up in down times with having soul mind and body tips. You know, they're fun tips, they're quick, easy reads. And what we want to do is look at it comprehensively, because if you're sick, you know, your mind's not going to be doing well. You can't be focusing. You can't be exercising. You can't be doing all these things. So now all these things go all hand in hand together to make us be vehicles and positivity and to be vehicles of change and to be able to make a difference and to be able to help come out of, you know, these crazy things and these crazy times that are happening.   Steve Rush: Right, definitely so. So, at this part of the show is where I get to turn the leadership lens on you. So, you're not only a business builder for others, but you run your own businesses. And as such, you've been a leader for a number of years. So, this is where I want to tap into your leadership thinking, your leadership brain. And the first place I'd like to start is if you could just share our listeners, what would be your top three leadership hacks?   Preston Weekes: Top three leadership hacks. I would say my mantra. Number one is relentless improvement. You always need to be improving. So, leadership hack, you got to keep your head up. So relentless improvement. Leadership hack, number two. I would say is don't be afraid to fail and an extra one too, that kind of goes along that don't be afraid to fail is if you do fail, you're not a failure. And you know, I think a lot of people have a hard time differentiating that. If they have a business that fails or an idea that fails or a part of a business that fails or plan or product, you're not a failure, it's just that thing. You just got to get back up and keep that relentless improvement, so don't be afraid to fail.   Steve Rush: Right.   Preston Weekes: And then find, you know, a leadership hack is, know deeply what your weaknesses are and fill those weaknesses with people that are strong in those areas. I would say that is huge, huge. Being able to acknowledge, you know, what your weaknesses are because a lot of times leaders have challenges doing that. And because we want to be that person that knows everyone, everything and can do everything. And if you can go, no that's not me. And surround yourself by a team that is that then you can be really powerful.   Steve Rush: They are Super great hacks Preston, and thank you. So, the next bit of the show is we call Hack to Attack. And this is where something in your past, hasn't gone as well as you'd anticipated, and maybe something screwed up or we've bumped into some adversity. But as a result of whatever's happened, we've now learned from that. And it's become a lesson in our life. What would be your Hack to Attack?   Preston Weekes: Yeah, Hack to Attack. I think a hack to attack. It goes back to a story that I would say, I would title, let people fail. I'm a hard worker. I'm a doer, like figure things out. You know, I'm the type I think I can do anything. And, you know, leaning teams, I found back a long time ago that I was leading these teams and I had a number of employees and I'm bouncing around from location to location. Things are good, but I'm just busier than I've ever been in my life. And I'm doing everything, you know, someone's got a problem I'm running over there. You know, trying to get things done and trying to get fast. I'm fixing it, so my assistant comes up and they say, hey, I can't figure out how to do this. So, I just do it and I fix it and my account comes up and says, hey, you know, I don't know how to do this. So, I just kind of do it and fix it. And then my sales guy goes, oh, I can't close this client, can you come help me close this client? And then the detail guy is like, I can't fix this part or get this stain out of the car. So, I go over and I just do it, but it hit me that this epiphany of growth, you know, transition in a company to go, hey, I am growing and I'm doing all these things. And I'm the one who knows how to do all these things. Because I built this business and I have a certain way I want them done, but I need to let these people go out and fail so they can learn because if I don't let people fail and I don't let people learn, I don't let people go out and do it on their own. Then I'm just creating more jobs for myself and I'm not replicating myself. I'm just creating more burdens for myself.   And so, you need to have that runway with your employee team, you know, to have them go out and fail and do and go out and fail and do. It's just liked my virtual assistant that I have for myself that she helps me with. She's doing stuff for me right now as we're talking. But there's things that are probably beyond her ability level from me learning. I have her do those things all the time. I go, hey, go write this. I might not even use it, but it might give me some good ideas, you know, of what I'm going to do. But I like to push people and push my employees so that they can learn and they can grow, which was the opposite of what I was doing, which was a big failure. All of a sudden, you know, I'm at one of my locations, I got 11 employees at the lot and I show up at that lot, all of a sudden, I have 11 jobs. And everyone's running up to me to do all those jobs. And so, it's really differentiating that from management position going, okay, you know, you set your employees up for success and let them fail.   Steve Rush: And reframing the failure of a task is just another way of saying I've learned something new.   Preston Weekes: Yep, exactly. And then it goes back to relentless improvement.   Steve Rush: Yeah, definitely. The last thing we want to explore with you today Preston. Is if you had the opportunity to do a bit of time travel now. You get to go back to when you were 21 and give yourself some advice. What's it going to be?   Preston Weekes: You know, if I were going to go back and give myself advice, I would say, there's so many things I would want to say, but yeah, I really, really like starting things grassroots. And I had a bunch of car dealerships that I started, you know, with my own money and finance and then I had a business partner and then I got to this point where I had some issues with the business partner. So, I wanted to leave, so I left the business partner, started up another company and replace that business partner with financing, his portion of that company. My 2020 hindsight and advice to look back is if you have the ability to not finance anything in your company and do it from a grassroots to build equity, do it because in the beginning it might be worse, but in the long term, it's in the end. And I mean, I've done okay. I've been fine, I've been aggressive and keep fighting. But I look back at that and go, okay. If I had done that with that company, you know, differently, I might have more money to do more things with. So that's, that's one of those, you know, learning courses to go, okay, if you can build your own equity instead of building financing and working for the banks, start small and get nitty gritty and fight it out because 10 years later you'll be happy you did it.   Steve Rush: I like that. People often have the perception that, you know, financing helps you grow quicker, but actually can hamstring you if you don't get your supply chain, right. You don't get your inventory right, et cetera, versus that does come with it though. The rub of, you need to be more patient if you're going to grow organically. And that's the rub I guess, isn't it?   Preston Weekes: And just to bring even a little bit more depth to that comment of my story, you know, on that lot, when we shut that lot down you know, I had 15 dealerships. And when we shut that lot down, you know, that was one coming out of the partnership. And, you know, we had car inventory that we owned, which was fine, and it was good. When we shut that lot down, but we also had a million and a half in financing. And if we didn't have a million and a half in financing during the course of that car lot existence, that million and a half would have been equity.   Steve Rush: Right.   Preston Weekes: And so, life would look a little different in between. But yeah, so that's my look back, old wise words.   Steve Rush: Great lessons. Thanks for sharing that with our listeners too. So as folk have been listening to you speak today Preston and they may be thinking, where do I find out a little bit more about Operations X? How do I find out a little bit more about How To Be Up In Down Times? And what about the work that Preston doing? Where would you like to send them?   Preston Weekes: Yeah, I mean, mostly everything you can find is on operationsx.com, it's operations with a plural and then just the letter x and so you can check me out on LinkedIn. LinkedIn, I think it's backslash energy guy is my profile or whatever, but yeah, Preston Weekes, W-E-E-K-E-S and I'm happy to help people, you know, it's just truly, truly my mission to make other entrepreneurs succeed. And I absolutely love and appreciate all these amazing business owners and CEOs that I get to coach and consult with and work with to help grow their businesses. It's absolutely so much fun. I met so many amazing people along the way, like Mark Victor Hanson and Mitzi, and just these crazy big leaders of, you know, our country, billionaires and Andy Stevens and Traymore Crowes and Ben Carson and all these cool people, I have had a lot of fun.   Steve Rush: And you know, the best thing about working with great people like this is that you never stop learning either. And that's what I love about what I do too.   Preston Weekes: Yep, That's your relentless improvement!   Steve Rush: And it is, for sure.   Preston Weekes: Yep, awesome.   Steve Rush: Preston from my perspective, I just want to say massive thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to be with us today on The Leadership Hacker Podcast, you've been a super guest and good luck with whatever you do next.   Preston Weekes: Absolutely, thanks so much for having me.

Greetings, SuperFriends! Welcome to a very special episode of the show! Today we are joined by Mark Victor Hansen. Mark has sold over 500 million books. He's best known as the co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, but he actually has written over 309 books, and is known for his endearing and charismatic style. You've probably also heard of some of his other books including The One Minute Millionaire. Mark is known for having spoken to over 6000 audiences worldwide on a wide variety of topics, and he actually studied directly under Buckminster Fuller, one of Einstein's greatest students. He has a lifetime of entrepreneurial success, alternative energy pursuits, and more. I do encourage you to check out his list of 309 books, as well as his appearances on Oprah, CNN, The Today Show, Time Magazine, USA Today, the New York Times, and much, much more. In other words, Mark is probably one of the most SuperHuman authors on the planet, and in this episode, I wanted to learn not only how that is possible, and how he has achieved so much, but also what are the mindsets, the tools, the tactics, and techniques that have allowed him to do so much. In addition to that, I wanted to learn what his message was for all of you, during these admittedly challenging times. The conversation was absolutely fascinating, and it veers more on the side of entrepreneurship that we usually go. But I think that's what people need to hear right now, in these challenging economic times, so I know you're going to enjoy this episode as much as I did! -Jonathan Levi

Today our expert guests are Mark and Crystal Hansen. Mark is probably best known as the co-author for the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book series, which set world records for book sales with over 500 million copies sold. He's a prolific writer with 307 books authored and co-authored, including “The Aladdin Factor,” “The Power of Focus,” “The Richest Kids in America,” “The Miracles in You,” “You Have a Book in You,” and “The One Minute Millionaire” series. Crystal is a business strategist, successful entrepreneur, speaker, and author in both the US and China. She's known as *the* celebrity coach, a certified life coach, and wellness nutrition expert whose personal coaching, speaking, CDs, video programs, books, and articles have helped people all over the world. She's also the author of “Skinny Life: The Secret to Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Fitness.” Mark got into the personal development field after the worst moment in his life — going bankrupt. He had found an audiotape that inspired him to become a speaker, and when he was looking around for someone to talk to, he found a real estate speaker who showed him how he could get into speaking. He was extremely successful, giving one thousand talks a year for the first three years, followed by publishing a book on how to win at public speaking. That's what started it all. Crystal found that high school was easy for her and she graduated early, marrying her boyfriend at the time, who was five years older than her. Five years later, she was in a city by herself with a baby on her hip, divorced, and no idea how to support herself. She applied for food stamps, but the day she went to pick them up, she told herself, “This won't be my future.” She started asking herself questions that she didn't know the answers to, but as she asked them, she started to see the answers come to her. After taking some temp jobs, she learned that she liked sales and she liked people, so she worked to put herself through real estate school. Then she met an old friend who had lost a lot of weight and quit smoking with the help of hypnosis. Crystal was so intrigued that she decided to go to school for natural therapies and became certified in life coaching and clinical hypnotherapy, too. In their new book, “Ask,” Mark and Crystal explore the thing that helped both of them come back from rock bottom — the power of asking questions.  Questions like: How do I start making money today? What am I best at? What is my potential? Where do I want to go with my life? When asking these questions, there are three channels through which you need to ask: Ask yourself, ask others, and ask God. All three are equally important. The power of asking questions has no end to what it can achieve. In Part 2 of this interview, we will explore how to ask the right questions and what they can do for you.

Two-Time NY Times Bestselling Author From her own remarkable experiences, Janet created the profoundly impactful Passion Test process. This simple, yet effective process has transformed thousands of lives all over the world and is the basis of the NY Times bestseller she co-authored with Chris Attwood, The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose. Janet is a living example of what it means to live a passionate, fully engaged life. A celebrated transformational leader, Janet has shared the stage with people like His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Sir Richard Branson, Nobel Prize winner, F.W. deKlerk, Stephen Covey, Jack Canfield, and many others. She is also known as one of the top marketers in America. In 2000, Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen paid for 40 of the top marketing experts in the country to come to Newport Beach, CA to consult with them on marketing their book, The One Minute Millionaire. Janet was one of the very first they invited. As a result of that meeting, Robert G. Allen and Mark Victor Hansen asked Janet to partner with them in their Enlightened Millionaire Program. Her personal stories of following her passions, of the transformations which people like Chicken Soup for the Soul author Jack Canfield have experienced with The Passion Test, and the practical, simple exercises she takes people through to discover their own passions are a few of the reasons she gets standing ovations wherever she presents. Janet has given hundreds of presentations and taken thousands of people through The Passion Test process, in the U.S., Canada, India, Nepal, and Europe. Janet is also the founder of The Passion Test for Business, The Passion Test for Coaches, The Passion Test for Kids and Teens, The Passion Test for Kids in lockdown, and The Reclaim Your Power program for the homeless. Janet is a golden connector. She has always had the gift of connecting with people, no matter what their status or position. From the influential and powerful, to the rich and famous, to lepers and AIDS patients, to the Saints of India, Nepal, the Philippines and elsewhere—to anyone who is seeking to live their destiny, Janet bonds with every single person, and the stories she shares are inspiring, mind-boggling, uplifting and very real. A co-founder of top online transformational magazine, Healthy Wealthy nWise, Janet has interviewed some of the most successful people in the world about the role of passion in living a fulfilling life. Her guests have included Stephen Covey, Denis Waitley, Robert Kiyosaki, Neale Donald Walsch, Paula Abdul, Director David Lynch, Richard Paul Evans, Barbara DeAngelis, marketing guru Jay Abraham, singer Willie Nelson, Byron Katie, Wayne Dyer, Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, Tony Robbins, Rhonda Byrne and many others. These live teleconference interviews have attracted listeners from all parts of the globe. Edited versions of these interviews are made available to over 150,000 subscribers. Her Passion Test process has impacted people worldwide, and The Passion Test phenomenon has resulted in requests from schools to build a passion curriculum, from teachers, trainers and speakers to use the process, and from organizations like NASA to incorporate it in their staff development programs. It was as a result of taking The Passion Test with Janet that Jack Canfield recognized his passion to be part of a spiritual leaders’ network and out of that came the Transformational Leadership Council. Janet and Chris are both founding members of that organization whose 100+ members serve over 10 million people in the self-development world. Janet Attwood makes magic happen. Her presentations hold audiences spellbound. Her programs attract people from all over the globe. Through her magnetic charisma she is touching the lives of millions of people around the world. janetattwood.com' © 2020 All Rights Reserved © 2020 BuildingAbundantSuccess!!

Starting with what you have right now is a common theme of those who have built their financial foundation. I recently read the One Minute Millionaire where he lists what he calls "Aha"s. An "aha" is an epiphany of truth that applies to building your financial foundation. Where we may think the answer is "Give ME the MONEY FIRST"...it turns out, that what we have right now is sufficient to get started on our journey. There are three steps: 1. Build Your Financial Foundation 2. Grow Your Wealth Strategy Awareness 3. Apply Wealth Strategies I heard a talk recently on setting goals and what I liked about it is how it cascades down from top to bottom. After I thought through it I built a spreadsheet that connects 1 year goals to Quarterly goals, down to monthly goals and into weekly execution. The goals at each level are organized with the One Minute Millionaire. True wealth is a balance of physical, spiritual, relationships, money, service to others, and other factors. Body (Your physical goals): Brain (Your intellectual goals - books you read, amount of daily study): Being (Your spiritual goals - the time you spend meditating or praying): Time (Your organizational goals): People (Your people goals - concerning the most important people in your life): Money (Your financial goals): Let's say you are planning your weekly execution, then the spreadsheet will show you the quarterly goals you set in each area and you can break it down into bite-sized steps. We each want to grow our ability to give to others. Not only set goals to do this, but also track those goals down into executable steps so that YOU can: 1. Build Your Financial Foundation 2. Grow Your Wealth Strategy Awareness 3. Apply Wealth Strategies Hey, if you want the spreadsheet reach out to me at grant@financialinvestingsecrets.com. Soon I will be making it available as part of my courses on financialinvestingsecrets.com Thanks for joining, until next time: get serious about putting your wealth goals into action to grow your ability to help others!!

Alex's greatest gift is the way he uses the power of stories to make his marketing strategies stick in your mind.” He has coached George Foreman, Larry King, Russell Brunson, Jay Abraham, Brian Tracy, Jack Canfield, Brendon Buchard, Alexandria Brown, Barbara DeAngelis to name a few.

Find Out More About Robert Here: Robertallen.comRobertgallen.comconnect@robertallen.com@OfficialRobertGAllen on Facebook@BestSellerBob on Twitterbestseller_bob on Instagram In This Episode: [01:46] - We hear about how many books Robert has written so far -- and how many he has left in him! He also talks about which book he’s most proud of, and the lengths he went to in order to get his first book published. [06:38] - Stephan got started in his first business while in grad school for biochemistry, which wasn’t at all related to the business. We hear how he got his initial funding. [09:36] - Whenever you see a great success story, you’ll usually see some form of a challenge or someone doing something out of the ordinary behind the scenes. This is part of what Robert calls the success cycle. [13:14] - Declaring a “done” rather than setting a goal is one of the traits of happy, successful people, Robert explains. [14:31] - We learn about Robert’s book The Challenge and its powerful premise. [17:59] - Robert describes one of his favorite students (and now business partner) who lives in Japan and was homeless when he discovered Robert’s books. [20:08] - One thing that Stephan tells attendees at his presentations is that they should learn the material he’s teaching with the intention of teaching others. [22:09] - Robert talks about how he chose the three people featured in his book The Challenge, from the 60 who showed up and wanted to get involved. The key, he explains, lies in refusing to accept rejection. [24:59] - Robert’s book One Minute Millionaire tells the story of a woman who loses her husband, her two small children, and her job. [27:14] - In two weeks, Robert will be holding challenges in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and in Japan. He describes how these challenges will be run. [30:51] - Something else that’s essential for an entrepreneur is the willingness to put everything on the line, Stephan points out, using the example of Elon Musk. [34:59] - The problem, Robert points out, is that you’re living life forward but revealing it backward. [36:46] - Gary Vaynerchuk always talks about hustling, and Stephan talks about what the term means to him. He then shares an example of what he means, which is how he got into his second Tony Robbins event. [39:29] - Robert’s favorite Tony Robbins story took place in 1986, when Robert was republishing one of his books. He describes his encounter with Tony and mentions the impact it had on his life. [45:00] - Robert had the idea for a book about how to make money, but didn’t feel like the best candidate after going through a bankruptcy. He uses a personal example to point out that successful people encourage you, while failures tell you that you’re an idiot. [45:12] - Stephan returns to the concept of a rejection test and describes the honesty test, which is something that he uses in his own hiring process. [48:03] - What was the secret to buying seven properties in 57 hours without having down payments, as Robert describes in his book Nothing Down? [52:41] - Robert explains how someone can become a millionaire in a minute, as he describes in his book One Minute Millionaire. [55:57] - Where can listeners go to find out more about Robert and learn more of what he has to teach?

My Show guest is Two-Time NY Times Bestselling Author Janet Atwood. From her own remarkable experiences, Janet created the profoundly impactful Passion Test process. This simple, yet effective process has transformed thousands of lives all over the world and is the basis of the NY Times bestseller she co-authored with Chris Attwood, The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose. Janet is a living example of what it means to live a passionate, fully engaged life.A celebrated transformational leader, Janet has shared the stage with people like His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Sir Richard Branson, Nobel Prize winner, F.W. deKlerk, Stephen Covey, Jack Canfield, and many others. She is also known as one of the top marketers in America. In 2000, Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen paid for 40 of the top marketing experts in the country to come to Newport Beach, CA to consult with them on marketing their book, The One Minute Millionaire. Janet was one of the very first they invited. As a result of that meeting, Robert G. Allen and Mark Victor Hansen asked Janet to partner with them in their Enlightened Millionaire Program. Her personal stories of following her passions, of the transformations which people like Chicken Soup for the Soul author Jack Canfield have experienced with The Passion Test, and the practical, simple exercises she takes people through to discover their own passions are a few of the reasons she gets standing ovations wherever she presents. Janet has given hundreds of presentations and taken thousands of people through The Passion Test process, in the U.S., Canada, India, Nepal, and Europe
