The Classics IV featuring Dennis Yost a enjoyed two more top-10 hits, "Stormy" (1968, Hot 100 No. 5) and "Traces" (1969, Hot 100 No. 2, Easy Listening No. 2), the latter of which Emory Gordy also co-wrote. Cobb and Buie borrowed heavily from 1936's "Every Day with Jesus" by Robert C. and Wendell P. Loveless to pen the top 20 follow-up "Every Day With You Girl" (1969, Hot 100 No. 19, Easy Listening No. 12). "Spooky," "Stormy," and "Traces" each sold more than one million units, and all were awarded gold discs by the R.I.A.A. Those three hits plus "Every Day With You Girl" also appeared in the 1977 film The Chicken Chronicles. In 1970, Cobb, Buie and Daughtry formed what would become Atlanta Rhythm Section with Candymen drummer Robert Nix. However, the former two remained active as writers and producers for the band.[5] After recovering from a car accident suffered in May 1969, Eaton left the band and later on became an electronics expert, working for Unisys. 1970–1975: Later years With Yost as the remaining original member, the group changed its name again to Dennis Yost and the Classics IV. After Imperial was absorbed into United Artists Records, the group signed with MGM South. In 1971 after working for other Lowery artists Tommy Roe and the Swingin' Medallions, Michael Huey became the drummer. During this period Huey also became the staff drummer for Lowery Studios and later moved to Los Angeles. The band's subsequent releases were less successful, despite the final top 40 hit, "What Am I Crying For?" which peaked at No. 39 in 1972. By this time, the partnership between Cochran and Buie ended. After the release of "My First Day Without Her" in 1975, Yost disbanded the group and returned to Florida. 1975–2001: After Classics IV In 1977, Yost returned to performing on the Holiday Inn circuit, this time simply under his own name or "The Classic One." (He lost the rights to the Classics IV name.) The same year, Eaton got a job on Jacksonville's computer system in 1977 and later on worked for the City Hall. He is currently a professor at Florida Community College. During the mid 70s to early 80s, the Atlanta Rhythm Section scored a number of Top 40 hits, notably "Doraville", "So in to You", "Imaginary Lover", "I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight", "Do It or Die", and their rendition of "Spooky". During the 1990s, Yost used many backup bands including Steve "Stevie G" Guettler (guitar, vocals), Jeff "JT" Strickler (bass guitar, vocals), Steve Farrell (guitar, vocals), Mike Wilson (keyboards, vocals), and Wes Armstrong (drums, vocals) of the Atlanta-based group The Rockerz. He also used Nashville-based Steve Jarrell and The Sons of the Beach Band, as well as the Hitts out of Virginia Beach, Virginia, with Ed Hutchison (guitar, backing vocals), Ramon Gonzalez (keyboards, backing vocals), Andy Crosswell (drums), and David Voss. Other incarnations included Toledo musicians Danny Joe Greenburg on Bass, and Sid Siddall on drums. Nashville bassist Louie Meek also did a stint with the band. In 1993, Classics IV was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. 2001–2006: Reformation In 2001, Yost underwent successful throat surgery for a condition that had severely impaired his singing voice. Later on, he started touring under the Classics IV name, which he gained the rights to. 2006–2008: Death of Yost On July 11, 2006, Yost fell down a flight of stairs and suffered serious brain trauma. To assist Yost and his wife with their medical bills, a benefit concert was held on March 25, 2007, at Rhino's Live in Cincinnati, Ohio. The concert did not significantly benefit Yost or his wife financially as hoped, as expenses far exceeded the money raised, leaving the event in the red. After the accident, Tom Garrett was chosen by Yost to replace him as lead singer. The plan was for Yost to make a few yearly "special appearances", and gradually have Garrett take over as the leader of the band. However, Yost was able to perform with them for only one appearance in 2008. Yost died at age of 65 from respiratory failure on December 7, 2008, the 40th anniversary of the entrance of "Stormy" into the Hot 100's top 10. 2008-present: Post-Yost The current line-up of Classics IV consists of Tom Garrett as lead vocalist, Kevin Lloyd on bass, James Yoder on keyboards, Paul Weddle on saxophone, John Kerner on guitar, and Shawn White on drums. The group regularly tours to this day.

Thirty years ago “The Death of Ramon Gonzalez was published and subsequently began making an impression on thousands of people around the world with, as Wes Jackson of The Land Institute said,” a new way of looking at the tragic human and environmental consequences of chemical-dependent agriculture”. The author of this ground breaking book, Angus Wright recently passed away after a productive life.  For the author of a book that begins with a death from chemical agriculture in Mexico, it seems fitting that the death of the author Angus Wright should begin with a review of lessons learned, progress made and what more is needed for “modern agriculture.” To help with this journey I'm pleased to welcome, Steve Gliessman farmer, retired University of California Santa Cruz professor, one of the first guests on Farm to Table Talk and an author himself-- he literally wrote the book on Agroecology.

How To Grow Your Business, Expand Your Impact, and Experience Your Perfect Life:  

Muchas tiendas online comienzan como el proyecto de una única persona y lentamente se van transformando en un imperio. Formar un equipo dentro de nuestra empresa no es un trabajo sencillo, ya que necesitamos gente capacitada, o al menos con buena voluntad, para que nos solucione los problemas del negocio con los que nosotros no queremos lidiar. Como guía tenemos en ese episodio a Ramon Gonzalez, emprendedor exitoso que lleva más de siete años vendiendo en Amazon y, aunque primeramente su enfoque estuvo puesto en Wholesale, hoy en día dedica la mayoría de su tiempo a hacer crecer su marca privada, la cual lanzó al mercado en el 2019. “Todo el mundo empieza con su primer empleado y uno quiere que responda todo y sea perfecto, pero en realidad no. Ese primer empleado probablemente no tendrías que haberlo contratado porque no es el indicado para la tarea, no conoce la mayoría de las cosas que te dijo que sí sabía, no hay un buen intercambio contigo… Hay muchos motivos por los que el primer empleado generalmente no funciona, pero de todas maneras todos tienen que pasar por eso si quieren crecer”, alerta Ramón. En su caso, tuvo su primera empleada oriunda de Filipinas, con quien trabajó durante largo tiempo. “Hacía todo lo que necesitaba. Cuando uno está en Wholesale tiene que analizar mucha data, encontrar productos, servicio de atención al cliente… Me ayudaba a mantener los sistemas que yo tenía. Al principio, ella fue una gran ayuda y la persona a la que le podía delegar mis tareas”, relata nuestro invitado. Inicialmente le costó trabajo poder dejar en manos de otros sus actividades pero aprendió que, “mientras más empleados tuviese que funcionen y sean buenos, más iba a crecer”, porque “hacer todo nosotros mismos no nos lleva al éxito”. Para poder pedirles a nuestros empleados que hagan las tareas, a veces es necesario que nosotros sepamos acerca de ellas. Cuando somos una empresa pequeña, no tenemos un equipo que eduque a los nuevos trabajadores y lo tenemos que hacer nosotros mismos. “Hay muchas personas que tienen el coraje para poder mandar a un empleado a hacer algo sin ellos saber de qué se trata. A mí siempre me gustó aprender primero, conocer la mejor manera para mi negocio y luego le paso un documento al empleado explicándole cómo tiene que hacerlo”, sostiene Ramon. Según nuestro invitado, el lugar más sencillo para conseguir empleados es OnlineJobs.ph. Para adentrarse en esta plataforma se debe hacer un pago mensual y hay una gran cantidad de opciones de empleados que se pueden adaptar a tu negocio. “Para buscar empleados a mí me gustaba hacer una aplicación en la cual ponía los puntos que quería que tenga esa persona y la realidad es que la gran mayoría no leen nada de eso, y más cuando van por rangos de pago bajos. Quizás ese empleado funcione, pero si quieres empezar a buscar una persona más especializada y que funcione con tu equipo, entonces vas a tener que hacer un poco más de trabajo”, remarca nuestro especialista. Actualmente Ramon no está buscando el tipo de empleado que repita los patrones que le ordena un jefe, sino que está enfocándose en especialistas y managers: “Para eso tienes que tener más cuidado con lo que pones para poder encontrar la persona adecuada”. En ese caso, lo primero que expone en la publicación de la búsqueda laboral es la misión, la visión y la cultura de su compañía. “Es lo que le hace entender a esa persona qué es lo que yo estoy esperando, que le interese ser parte del equipo y que piense de la misma manera que yo”, plantea Ramon. “Espero que la persona que tome este trabajo funcione en un mes. Al mes, espero que tenga el control de ciertas tareas, sepa lo que está pasando en la compañía, etc. De los tres meses en adelante se irán agregando otras tareas”, afirma, y advierte: “Antes ponía todo lo que tenían que saber, pero había cosas que no iban a poder hacer en el primer mes, y muchas personas no se han animado a postularse”. Existen filtros durante el proceso de contratación de una persona. No sólo es revisar el resumen que envían los interesados, sino también hacerlos pasar por una prueba, llamar a sus referencias y finalmente tener una videollamada o conversación personal con los empleados que vemos capacitados para abarcar las tareas. “Tenemos un review de 30 días. No los votamos, a menos que sean muy malos. Si duran el mes les decimos qué hacen bien y qué hacen mal y continuamos”, cuenta Ramon. Sus empleados han comenzado a hacer tareas sencillas dentro de su empresa y, con el paso del tiempo, se convirtieron en especialistas, “que son los que entienden la materia y pueden resolver problemas ellos mismos, aunque tú no les estés dando los pasos”. Cuando buscas un integrador de la compañía, nuestro invitado aconseja que sea un empleado local, porque “es importante para poder conversar, compartir ideas, estudiar los pasos por delante de la compañía, etc.”. “Ese tipo de persona sería el Entrepreneur Operating System y está a cargo de todas las fases de la empresa”, enseña nuestro invitado. Otro puesto que implica responsabilidades es el del visionario, es decir, la persona que toma “el enfoque de la compañía y del futuro”. Debajo está el que toma la tarea de manejar todos los equipos y tener el control de los reportes de cada sector de la compañía. “Esa persona no necesita saber cada tarea específica, pero sabe qué es lo que tienen que hacer los empleados. Debe saber a dónde poner más y menos enfoque, más y menos capital, etc. Ese tipo de persona requiere de un cierto conocimiento del negocio que es bastante elevado”, detalla nuestro especialista. Luego están los managers, que saben hacer la tarea de los especialistas, pero deben manejar todos los departamentos para asegurar que se están haciendo las actividades a tiempo. “Aseguran que todo se esté haciendo al tiempo que la compañía y el integrador requieren”, resalta Ramon. Y por debajo están los especialistas, que son los que hacen la tarea del día a día. “Es una estructura donde uno se asegura que la compañía esté siguiendo todo correctamente y avanzando al ritmo que se espera”, añade. También está el Business Analyst, que busca las mejores opciones para tener un control efectivo del negocio y su automatización. “Hay muchas tareas que mis especialistas hacen y que se pueden hacer automáticamente. Me di cuenta de que contratar una persona como esa le puede quitar más trabajo a mis especialistas, parar los errores humanos y hacer una gran parte automatizada”, asegura Ramon.  Como recomendaciones finales, Ramon nos sugiere contratar empleados que compartan la misma ciudad, o al menos el mismo país, ya que “ayuda a mantener una cultura fuerte” dentro de la compañía, y darle la asistencia necesaria a los empleados que se sumen a nuestra empresa. “Pensar que un empleado nuevo va a llegar a tu compañía y va a hacer todo perfecto no es correcto, al menos que sea un especialista. Uno se tiene que tomar su tiempo para entrenarlo y va a funcionar mucho mejor”, opina nuestro invitado. Hay que saber cómo contratar, porque no todos los empleados van a ser los que nos solucionen los problemas de manera efectiva. Si estamos buscando una persona que simplemente haga las tareas que nosotros le pedimos, no es necesario hacer un proceso de selección complejo, pero cuando buscamos especialistas, éste debe ser más estricto, porque “el mundo está lleno de gente que dice que sabe todo y hay que buscar la manera de filtrar a esas personas y que no entren en tu compañía”, cierra Ramon.

Hay tres formas que podemos elegir para poder vender nuestros productos en Amazon. La primera es el arbitraje y consiste en comprar productos de alta demanda de marcas establecidas a bajo precio y revenderlos en Amazon para ganar un beneficio, la segunda forma es convertirte en un Reseller (Wholesale) que consiste básicamente en comprar productos de otras marcas directamente a las fábricas para venderlos en Amazon, y la tercera forma es la Marca Privada o Private Label que consiste en crear tus productos con tu propia marca y venderlos en exclusiva en Amazon. Cada modelo tiene su complejidad, pero en el orden que te los hemos explicado es del más fácil al más difícil de aplicar. Nuestro invitado en este episodio es Ramon Gonzalez, un vendedor con siete años de experiencia, principalmente en Amazon. Él ha transitado por los tres modelos y nos cuenta la experiencia del cambio y las diferencias entre cada uno de ellos. “Empecé a vender, como todos, con arbitraje. Yo hacía todo… compraba, empacaba… Empecé a hacer esto y me di cuenta que manejar todo no funciona. Rápidamente entré en Wholesale donde me fue muy bien y estuve largo tiempo. Podíamos comprar muchas marcas. Contactamos cuentas y creamos métodos más fáciles de manejarlas, hasta que llegó el Covid. Nos hemos quedado estancados y al pasar un año decidimos escalar a la próxima fase de nuestro negocio que era Private Label, y quizás en un futuro vender la marca”, describe Ramon. Arbitraje es la forma más sencilla y la utiliza muchísima gente, sobre todo joven y que no tiene muchos recursos, mientras que Wholesale tiene el atractivo de que no tienes que pasar por todo el ajetreo de crear una Marca Privada, con todo lo que eso conlleva, y podrás empezar a vender en Amazon, pero existe el riesgo a futuro de que ese proveedor decida por su cuenta vender el producto directamente en Amazon y nos saque del mercado, por no mencionar otros de sus riesgos. Las dos primeras formas pueden servir para aquellos que quieran aprender del negocio o hacer algo de dinero. Sin embargo, no son rentables, duraderas y que escalen en el tiempo, como sí lo permite la tercera forma, que es Private Label. El paso más difícil para cualquier seller es pasar de Wholesale a Private Label. En el caso de Ramon, él encontró un listing que ya existía: “Era un mundo de dos marcas diferentes juntas que ya tenía y me metí en ese listing y a compartir el Buy Box con todas las otras personas y me pregunté: ‘¿por qué yo no creo mi propio listing con este grupo de productos que existen y algo más?', y lo hice mucho mejor. Y empecé a robarme toda la gente, pero seguí haciendo un grupo de productos comprados de otros suplidores”. Estos artículos los comenzó a buscar en China y su costo bajó casi un 50 por ciento, mientras que sus ventas y sus ganancias empezaron a expandirse. “Llegué al punto de que me dije que podía hacer las dos cosas: Wholesale y Private Label, pero no, estaba haciendo Wholesale bien y Private Label mal, porque cuando uno quiere hacer mucho no hace nada. Entonces lo que pasó es que este producto lo vendía muy bien pero no crecía, me estaba funcionando pero lento. Entonces decidí tomar el paso de no hacer los dos y hacer bien uno, y ese era Private Label”, relata nuestro invitado. Una de las diferencias entre Wholesale y Marca Privada es que en el primero “necesitas más empleados”: “Desde un principio, cuando estaba haciendo Wholesale, tuve que buscar una persona que me ayudara a empacar todos los productos porque me llevaba mucho tiempo, otra persona que me ayudara a buscar todos los documentos, etc. Entonces tenía siete empleados y cuando empecé con Private Label pasé a tener menos”, nos atestigua Ramón. Lo que te exige comenzar a vender en Private Label es contar con capital y tener el conocimiento necesario para tomar riesgos. “En Wholesale el riesgo está repartido entre muchos productos, pero con Private Label lo que tienes son pocos productos con los que tomas más riesgos”, afirma. Claro que también cambian las necesidades y urgencias que debes atender. Por ejemplo, Private Label exige hacer más PPC, porque cuando uno vende a través de Wholesale sólo le interesa “la velocidad de venta y la demanda del producto”, pero con el otro modelo no es suficiente. Asimismo hay que tener en cuenta qué tan buenos son los competidores, porque “si son muy buenos y están controlando la mayoría de las keywords lo más probable es que tu producto nuevo que acabas de cargar en Amazon no vaya a tener ninguna venta”, advierte Ramon. A ello se suma si tu producto puede tener un diferenciador en comparación con los otros, que “cuando alguien esté poniendo las palabras claves pueda ver tu producto y que diga que se ve mejor”. Y finalmente la diferencia que hay entre la ganancia de un vendedor en Wholesale con uno en Private Label. Según nuestro invitado, “en Wholesale es muy fácil ganar poco dinero porque lo que importa es la velocidad, cuántos productos puedes vender, compras pocas cantidades… En cambio con Private Label necesitas tener cierta garantía de que vas a poder ganar dinero”. Además, aclara que “con Private Label tienes que tener un margen saludable de ganancia, que es del 20 por ciento para arriba, porque tienes que considerar el gasto de tu producto más el mercadeo”. Conocer el nicho y el producto para cuando vamos a comenzar a vender por Etiqueta Privada es una gran ventaja que aprovechó Ramon, quien continuó vendiendo juegos de mesa, tal como lo hacía con Wholesale, con la diferencia de que ahora él mismo crea nuevos juegos para la familia e hizo nacer una marca. “Me gustaba este nicho porque la propiedad intelectual del producto que tú creas en relación a juegos de mesa nadie te la puede copiar. No es como hacer una botella de agua”, destaca. “Las personas que saben hacer Arbitraje o Wholesale ya tienen un pie adelante para hacer Private Label; distinto a los que se meten directamente a hacer Etiqueta Privada”, sostiene Ramon, aunque aconseja tener dos cosas claras. Una de ellas es que hay que “tocar puertas” y saber que los suplidores te pueden decir en más de una ocasión que no quieren hacer negocios contigo. Este hecho ocurre tanto para el modelo de Wholesale como para Private Label. La segunda es que “hay que aprender mucho PPC, cómo escoger un buen producto, aprender a crear listings que te ayuden a convertir buscadores en compradores”… Y el aprendizaje es mayor si la elección es vender mediante Private Label.

Welcome to the Multi-FAMILY zone podcast, where business meets family. The hosts of the show, Julia and Gino Barbaro, have been married for over twenty years, and have six children.    Julia homeschools the children, and recently became a marriage and life coach to help couples become better communicators and help enrich their lives.  The couple is constantly asked about how they balance their entrepreneurial and real estate journey while raising their kids. The Multi-FAMILY zone was created to address these questions, along with a host of questions from the Jake and Gino community.    Julia and Gino are joined by Ray and Christy. They will talk about how their store and how they balance working together and being married.   Ramon Gonzalez has been in the Real Estate field since 2004.  Prior to that, he was recruited to GE for their Financial Management Program.  After 3 years, he realized that the corporate world wasn’t for him.  He was searching for Freedom, Financial Abundance and a higher Purpose.   Christy Risco was a 4th grade teacher for 5 years, before realizing that although she has a passion for teaching, growing and giving - the Public-School System was not the place for her to shine bright.   After dating for 3 years, in 2011 – Ramon and Christy attended a Tony Robbins seminar called Date with Destiny.  During the 6 intense days, they realized that they were ready for a big, bold step in their lives! They moved in together while simultaneously starting a new Real Estate joint venture– Flipping REO properties in the Miami market.   Within 2 years of working and living together, they were both at their rope’s end.  The relationship was practically nonexistent and their finances did not reflect the amount of hours and energy they were putting into their company.   After working with several life coaches and continuing on in their self-discovery journey, they began to make several adjustments to their current life situation- including getting an office and taking several personality tests to hone in on what they were really good at and what they needed help with.    Once they drew that line between personal and business space, things started to shift.  Next, they hired a Business Consultant, who advised them to start looking for staff, even though it was scary for both of them to “give up” control in the business.  This led to growth and a new direction for the company.  Within 2 years, with a Property Manager and an Acquisitions Rep on payroll, they were able to grow their business to 7 figures and acquire over 100 units of rental properties.    In 2016, the couple had a daughter, Valentina, and again this started to shift the direction of their lives and business.  They decided to sell off most of their portfolio and eventually close the office to enjoy more freedom and time with their toddler.    They are currently in the Private Lending space and take pride in having amazing relationships with all of their borrowers, who they consider family. They each are part of Mastermind Groups and run their own Mastermind Experiences in Miami. They believe in growing, networking, inspiring & giving.   Within this transition, many of their colleagues and friends started getting intrigued by their success both at home and in business.  After much brainstorming, they realized that all of their success has come from working together to make things happen, no matter how difficult things seemed to get.  Through this personal reflection – Both on Board was born.  Both Ramon and Christy are passionate about helping and inspiring couples to work and play together in a way that serves each other, the business and the relationship as a whole!  “Helping Entrepreneurial Couples Thrive” is what they are about and helping them create IMPACT in the world!

Transitioning from wholesale to private label requires a new set of skills and considerations. Here to discuss his transition to private label is Ramon Gonzalez, a member of the Wizards of Amazon. Ramon started his sales journey as a rep selling distillation equipment for Captain Morgan rum. Due to the transient nature of the product, however, he decided to move into a more stable arena and found wholesales and wholesales online. Ramon has been dominating in wholesales for several years but recently had an experience that had him taking a second look at private label. As he was putting together a bundle for a wholesale product, one of his suppliers ran out of the product. Rather than waiting for over a month for the new supply to come in, he took a chance and sourced the product directly from China. He saved a considerable amount of money on each bundle and subsequently made significantly more than he was projected to initially.  Instead of diving directly into private label, Ramon has taken the time to build slowly. He’s looking to divert some of his wholesale profits and resources into private label and build it into his main source of income over time. His goal is to reduce the number of SKUs he has to manage without reducing his income.  Ramon is a relentless business owner who has taken the time to understand the changing operational and knowledge requirements needed for transitioning his business. Don’t miss out on the chance to learn from Ramon’s experience in both wholesale and the process of transitioning to private label.    In This Episode: [00:23] Welcome to the show Ramon Gonzalez, here to discuss going private label. [01:30] Learn more about Ramon and his experience before and after Amazon. [05:38] Listen as Ramon shares the biggest issue he is experiencing in his business right now. [07:09] Ramon shares his vision for his private label transition from wholesale. [08:01] Why private label?  [10:38] How is Ramon’s wholesale business structured and how does that influence his private label structure. [12:24] Ramon shares what caused him to look into sourcing directly.  [17:46] How does moving into private label change the operations of Ramon’s business?  [21:05] What is Ramon’s business superpower?  [22:10] Ramon shares his favorite book and why.

It's been known that successful people start their day very early in the morning - as early as 4AM. This habit isn't for everyone, and today's episode will explain who should embrace the practice, and why some people shouldn't even try waking up that early. Starting your day in the early hours enables you to play on offense and prepare your mind to respond to challenges with alertness and composure. You're less reactive to unexpected demands, overwhelming inboxes, and making irrational decisions. This episode features my friend and former co-worker, Ramon Gonzalez, who made the decision to join the successful elite by starting his day at 4:00 AM. He'll explain his step-by-step process of training his body to wake up before the sunrise, and explains the purpose behind this activity. If you're wondering where all his energy comes from, it starts with punching the day in the mouth at 4:00 AM.

Ramon got his start in real estate when he left the corporate world to be an entrepreneur. A large part of his success he can attribute to being able to identify what he is good at and sticking to where he is wanted. After multifamily investing in Miami didn’t work for him, Ramon tried the fix and flip model. Ultimately neither strategy was fulfilling, now he lends money to active investors, and loves it. Hear what he looks for before lending to an investor and why being able to put your ego aside and focus on your strengths is key to being a successful entrepreneur.

This is Ramon (Ray) Gonzalez's third appearance on the show! Alex and Ray go way back and this week's episode focuses on why mindset, surrounding yourself with amazing people, and holding yourself to a higher standard are so, so important for you, your family, and your business. Be sure to check back on the earlier episodes with Ray (links in the show notes). Key Takeaways: Are your dreams for sale? When things get hard, instead of giving up, you gotta lean in! Hold yourself to your standards. Get people to call you out. You're never going to get more than whatever you think you're worth. Why does Ray love attending masterminds? By hanging out with amazing people, they help catch you and keep you to a higher standard. If people are not enhancing your life, why are you wasting your most valuable commodity (your time) on them? How do you turn an acquaintance into a true friend? Remember, relationships are built over time. People can tell if you're being fake or if you're being sincere and genuine. What kinds of benefits can you get from attending a high-level mastermind? When we pay — that's when we pay attention. You have to do your own pushups. No one else is going to do it for you. Make sure you're clear on what you want, not on what you think you want because you see other people's success. Ray is hosting a mastermind! Who is this event for? The growth process never stops. While we're breathing, we are growing.   Mentioned in This Episode: I would greatly appreciate an iTunes Review :-) Flip Empire on iTunes Email Alex: Alex@FlipEmpire.com Episode 54: Timing is Everything in Real Estate!

On this episode of the CarrotCast, we're excited to have Ramon Gonzalez on the show.   Ramon is an amazing, successful investor. He's going to walk through his journey, he's going to walk through how he's gone through and really modeled the market cycles. You're going to see the clear path from the time that he started in real estate back in 2004 or five, on what he did during that phase. Then, what he did in seven and eight. He took two years off and then what he did the next cycle and then what he's doing right now and what you guys should start to look at too. There are way too many real estate entrepreneurs that are in this current market cycle that are doing the wrong thing. They're either going to make you broke or you're missing the massive opportunity that there is right now to build wealth. A lot of people are active and doing bunches of things but they're doing the things that are not going to position them to build wealth. They're about six, 10, 12, 14 months behind the market cycle, are you one of those people? Also, you're going to hear his inspiring journey. We're going to start to talk about mission, purpose, all those kinds of things, unique ability, really, really fun conversation with Ramon. If you can go, make sure you're subscribed to the CarrotCast, we publish these about two weeks before they ever hit the blog. Also, I'm going to throw this at you one time, right now, right now. I say it every single episode. I want this to go all the way to your psyche here, is this. Listen to other CarrotCast episodes at

Alex and Ramon Gonzalez continue their discussion on this week's episode. If you missed it, listen to episode 54 to hear the first half of Ramon's interview.  Ramon discusses what a typical deal looks like for him in his market, and also shares some super ninja pro-tips to help you increase profits on a badly damaged house.   Key Takeaways: Beware! This episode does have some bad language in it! What is Ramon currently doing to generate leads? Everybody's got cash. What's important is whether you can find a deal or not. Investors are used to paying, but you want to create a little frenzy among everyone, to get a quicker sale. Ramon shares an example of what a typical deal looks like for him. Remember, you're in control. Does Ramon's strategy only work for private sellers/homeowners? Ramon shares his super ninja strategy to increase profits on a destroyed house. Disclaimer! Remember neither Alex nor Ramon are CPAs or attorneys. What advice would Ramon give his 24-year-old self? Keep perspective, and don't be afraid to take those risks. Anyone who tells you they haven't lost money on deals is lying! Everyone has lost money. You have to work on and develop that positive mindset everyday!   Mentioned in This Episode: FlipEmpire.com Ramon.Gonzalez@SummitHB.com Fastcashforhousesnow.com   Ask Alex A Question: Have a question you want featured on an upcoming Flip Empire Show?

Alex and Ramon Gonzalez go way back, and have been long-time friends. Alex offers a disclaimer that because of their long-lasting friendship, this episode has some offensive language in it that some might not approve of. Ramon has a lot of wisdom to share on today's podcast episode, but his interview did run a little long. Alex has split up this interview up in a two part-series, so stay tuned next week for the final half of the episode!   Key Takeaways: Alex warns that this podcast episode has some offensive language. This show ran slightly over an hour, so Alex has broken it up in two parts. How did Alex and Ramon meet? The first deal Alex and Ramon made together was just a near-disaster. The industry has changed! Set realistic expectations because you will have to hustle HARD to get to where you want to go. How is Ramon separating himself from the competition? Right now the market in Miami is turning into a buyer's market. Price is important, but motivation is more important when it comes to closing that deal. Why does the seller want to sell? Seasons happen, which means you can't ignore what the market is telling you! How can people find out where they are in the market cycle?   Mentioned in This Episode: FlipEmpire.com Episode 34: Lee Kearney Tells You Everything You Need To Know About Market Cycles Irr.com   Ask Alex A Question: Have a question you want featured on an upcoming Flip Empire Show?
