Speculator "a person who invests in stocks, property, or other ventures in the hope of making a profit" I know many of you want to know if it's safe? are there risks involved? how much money can I make? or lose? Do I need a University degree to be a Speculator? What Does It Take to be a Top Notched Speculator? Lobo Tiggre explains what makes a great speculator. Is it different than a gambler? What are the important distinctions between the two? When you hear the word 'Speculator' what comes to mind? Mikkel Thorup and Lobo Tiggre discuss this as a profession or how becoming a Speculator could be an additional source of income. We talk about how Gold is mined? where is it mined? What does gold mining look like in the beginning, with the Geologists and coming in contact with illegal miners. Lobo Tiggre tells a story about how creative locals can be when they believe there is something of value in the land they own. In Africa, many countries have a rule for artisan miners. If you can dig out of the ground by hand on your ancestral grounds with hand tools than that's free for you.

The Limitless Life: Create Your Compelling and Vibrant Future
Hey there, welcome to this week's action-packed episode of the OpenWorld podcast. Thanks for joining us! In this interview I had the pleasure of welcoming Pete Sisco to the show. Pete has been an expat for 30 years and a Permanent Traveler for 10 years. He's also made his living 100% from online income for 15 […]
Risk Without Regret: Stories from Risk Takers, Inspiring Entrepreneurs, Small Business Owners
This week's guest is Pete Sisco from Resilient Personal Freedom. In 1996, he decided to invest $300 in himself and start his first online business. Five years later, he monetized that website. 15 years later, it has made him millions, and he still consistently makes an income from it, among other online businesses. After living the conventional life in Idaho with his wife for many years, and after his 6 kids grew up and moved out, Pete and his wife were ready for a different lifestyle. Knowing that their online income source was portable, they decided to sell everything and live out of their suitcases while traveling the world. 10 years later, they're still at it. In fact, he did the interview at the place they're currently staying at in Ireland. We talk about how technology is helping people make predictable monthly income online, why minimalism is a smart way to live, why working in a cubicle is actually more of a risk, how you can achieve an insane amount of personal freedom, and so much more. This is honestly one of the most inspiring conversations that I've had personally. I know you'll find a lot of value in this episode, but for me, Pete really confirmed a lot of things for me that I already knew, but I just needed to hear it from someone like him. After our call, I was so motivated that I began working harder on my online course. And now, I've actually opened up the pre-order for it! So depending on when you hear this episode, it might still be going on, or the full course might have been launched. Either way, you can check it out by visiting: CreateYourOnlineShop.com/PREORDER. All of the details are there and you can get a sneak peek into the course as well. And if the pre-order is still open, you can get it at a discount as well as some free bonuses. Again, it's CreateYourOnlineShop.com/PREORDER. Anyways, I'm so glad Pete reached out to me, and I'm stoked for you to hear this one. So without further adieu, here's my conversation with Pete Sisco. Enjoy! I hope you enjoy this episode and be sure to subscribe to the podcast here!

I've had a lifelong passion for the concept of living in freedom. The only passive income I know about is inheritance. You don't have to reinvent wheels, you just have to apply fundamentals in ways that are effective. We're living in a time now, where people can take risks like this, like being completely independent and having a lot more personal freedom. And the risk is actually hugely mitigated. There's 10,000 ways to reliably make money online. When people talk about big dreams, they get discouraged. Find something where you can make solid, reliable money and then use that money to do the dream life. There's this explosion of technology that is changing the world and a lot of people are threatened by it. But at the same time, there is enough technology that any individual can set himself up to make a reliable, durable, predictable income every month that's substantial. People start to realize that more than half of the stuff they're paying for is related to just having their job. The guy trapped in the cubicle is getting to be the anomaly. I like keeping the business the size where I run the business and it doesn't run me and I have maximum personal freedom. There's never been less risk than there is now. I can tell ya, when you get it working and you realize how free a person you can be, it's absolutely intoxicating. There's actually an adjustment period to get your head around the fact that you can basically do whatever you want. You can't do it overnight, but you really can engineer a lifestyle that gives you whatever amount of freedom you want. Offer something of quality, do what you say you're gonna do, and treat people right. The things that work online, the fundamentals, are the things that worked 100 years ago. And they'll work 100 years from today. If you want to sleep well at night, spend time constructing a business that has durable elements to it that will offer honest value and keep offering. You have to be in the game before you get lucky. There's just nothing that delivers the independence and the personal freedom that having an online business does. I've never met anyone who doesn't have a skill, an ability, or at the very least a passion that can't be of service to somebody who would be happy to pay money for it. If you had all the money that you ever needed, if you were 100% debt-free, and you had money in the bank that was going to last you for the rest of your life, you just didn't have to think about it, what would you do? What would you want to do every day? Some people climb the ladder of success only to discover you put it against the wrong wall. -Joseph Campbell That's the thing about the online world, it's a big transparent economy and the answers are right there. You don't require luck in order to succeed. Thanks for listening Be sure to subscribe to the podcast here and I can't wait to share the next episode with you soon!

First Name Last Name Email Cell # (1+area code) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Listener Dave asks: I am 50, in the process of trying to lose 2 lbs per week and train for a very tough (hilly, often windy) bicycling century ride in September. I keep a food and activity log at www.livestrong.com (which after trying several sites I found this one the best.) I am eating to a +1,000 calories a day (ie. If I burn 1000 Kcals with my activities I will eat 2,000 Kcals. Since I've gone to the +1,000 .. (I was at +1,500) I have lost between 1.8 and 2.3 pds each week for 4 weeks and have felt fine. Do you see any problems with this? Question 2. I am lifting weights (more for general health, looks and so forth rather than trying to improve performance.) I am using Pete Sisco's "Static Contraction" method. I was wondering what you thought? Listener Miguel asks: Here in Portugal it is growing quickly the superfoods market. I would like to know what's your opinion about these superfoods like spirulina, maca, goji berries, cocoa...the marketers are always trying to say that this is good for you stomach and this for your brain. If you agree with these foods how can I introduce them in my diet? Listener Bob asks: Why do I bonk after only two hours of riding. I ride at a reasonable pace, ex. only 17-20 mph. Not a crazy high heart rate, maybe 130? Not really winded. I consume two bottles of Hammer, Heed (2scoop ea.) fuel. After two hours I am really slow
