If you don't have a strong skillset, then it's time to work on one. Conversion is probably the strongest one you can have and it's as easy as dating.Rock Thomas is the host of the top-rated Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life Podcast, a bestselling author, and motivational speaker with over 30 years of experience in personal development and coaching.Three Things You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow do we deal with the market shift?How to stay ahead of the market.Make sure you aren't missing out on clients.ResourcesCheck Out His WebsiteReal Estate Marketing DudeThe Listing Advocate (Earn more listings!)REMD on YouTubeREMD on InstagramTranscript:So how do you attract new business? You constantly don't have to chase it. Hi, I'm Mike Cuevas a real estate marketing. This podcast is all about building a strong personal brand people have come to know, like trust, and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It's your job to remind them. Let's get startedWhat's up ladies and gentlemen, welcome another episode of the real estate marketing dude, podcast, what we're chatting about today, folks is going to be a skill set, you're going to need more than ever, especially in this changing market place because people are gonna have a lot a lot of questions. But if you don't know the art of conversion, how to talk to people. Basically, if you suck at dating, you're gonna want to listen to this, because conversion is nothing more than just dating. I've been saying it for years. And all I ever say is like when you go out and you meet met your significant other, you didn't just go in there and just have commission breath all over her, did you? And you know that commission breath at that time was more like, hey, when can I take you home? What we're really chatting about is how did you get her to laugh? How did you get her to actually go to the next step in that conversation. And there's actually a very, there's a science to this, you guys. So whether you want to call it the art of persuasion, the art of conversion, I have one of the best guys in the country that can teach this to you today. Without further ado, I'm going to introduce him His name is Mr. Rock, Thomas rock. How are you doing, buddy?I'm doing awesome. Really great. Thanks for having me on the show.Why don't you tell everyone a little bit about your background, I know you got quite an impressive resume, but tell everyone about whom you are and a little bit about what you do. And we're gonna get right on into this32 years experience in real estate. Now an author and a speaker and NLP practitioner and all that kind of good stuff. I was just speaking at an event and asking people what have you done in personal development. And I stopped counting at $1,000,000.78 Tony Robbins events. I've worked with Tihar Becker with Deepak Chopra, a whole bunch of people. And at the end of the day, you know, if you're going to be really good at sales, you have to get to a place where people know like and trust you. And it sounds so cliche, but a lot of people don't know how to do that. And so, after starting in real estate in the 1990s, I was really, really bad. Because I didn't know how to do that. I sold one homeowner my first year that I sold 32, because I had a mentor and I got some training than 4565 99 101 that I bought the company to get from 330 million to over a billion in sales. I've hired over 1500 realtors in my lifetime. And I've sold over 200,000 single family homes through my teams. And so I've seen a couple of things. And at the ripe old age of six years old, you figure out, you know what works and what doesn't work. And so now I help people navigate through that. And at the end of the day, if you want to make more than an average living, you have to learn how to convert leads. And so there's a simple four step process. I teach it, I talked to it. And I help people really just work less hard and make more money. Because when you're speaking to somebody, you're either going to convert them or somebody else is so why not you?It's absolutely correct. And books he's got a quite an impressive resume. And are you going to say that when you built all these different teams and our brokerages, all of them use these four pillars we're about to get into is that correct?Any great realtor does. Most people just don't know how to break it down into an art like you said. So they they do it but they don't know what they're doing. A lot of people can't teach what they do. I've gotten really good through my training is to simplify things and show people okay, if you're not building rapport, which is the first step, then people aren't going to feel comfortable with you. And when people don't feel comfortable, they don't make a decision. So you might as well understand the different elements of rapport. We talked about visual auditory, kinesthetic, we talked about physiology, we talked about matching and mirroring, and all those different things that we can get into. But when you study those and become a master at each one, you can do them naturally. So that creates more space in your conscious mind to be prepared for something else.So go ahead not to do that. You hit it on the head, folks, if you can't build rapport first, you don't stand a chance at step two. I knew this when I got right out of college I start selling real estate in the first person I sold a house to I have nothing in fucking common with this guy like nothing, nothing at all. This guy's a total nerd. I'm like doing kickstands a week before I meet this guy coming out of college. I'm 21 years old. This guy's like 42 or something at the time, total nerd and we had nothing in common. But that we were in a fraternity and boom, I had them and that was the first thing I knew right off the bat was common ground Common Ground Common Ground common ground because I didn't have experience zero experience, right? Like who the hell is going to sell a condo? For under 50,000? Our condo on Michigan Avenue with a 22 year old kid, that's just some punk wearing a suit. And it was only because you know what's funny about that that's totally reminds me a story. I ended up keeping a relationship with this guy. My entire career. I was in Chicago, and I known him for now. It's been 20 years. But I ended up referring him a lot of business. And then probably about 678 years ago, I remember him telling me he's like, Mike, I knew that was your first deal, dude. He's like, I needed to know what the hell you're doing. And all of the above. And he's just like, I liked you. I saw you hustling. Like, I don't even know how to write the contract. I remember he's in our office. And I'm like, I run into to get the broker. And then he sees me going back and forth. And I'm like, sweating bullets. And, yeah, build reports first. So let's get into this. We rock and I have been talking a lot and then sort of not in the podcast, I know rock we're about to do some things together. And I you know, you what you've done and what I've seen you do in this thing is really brought me back down to my own the basics, that sometimes I pass up on and whatnot. And one of the things that I never understood in real estate till recently was Why does, why can two totally different people get the exact same leads, but have two totally different results. And I'll never forget the stories that there's this kid in my office I hired a while ago, kid comes in my office like smoking cigarettes, he's wearing sweatpants guy stinks. I'm like, how the hell is this guy? Gonna make it in real estate? He was a package deal. I wanted his partner, not him. So I'm like, Alright, fine, we'll we'll take you in. That kid ended up being the best lead converter in the country in that whole company. And right now, I mean, these two kids, they're probably millionaires by now. But why I'm like, I'm gonna How are you guys doing this? They were dating coaches. They used to teach guys how to get laid? No, they took the skill set, and they transfer it to real estate. And his key was, what do you do for your leads? How you convert him? Because I flirt?Yeah, well, I'll tell you what give you a quick story is back in 2013. When I was starting my Keller Williams franchise, I wanted to start selling real estate to show to my agents that a you know, it's doable. And so I started calling for sale by owners and expireds. I went to this one that for sale by owner and it was two engineers. And they had their house listed for $342,000. It was cleaned. They wanted that money. There was other realtors that had come and visited. But I knew that most people don't follow up. So I followed up every four days. And on the fourth visit, because I had built rapport. I was speaking in detail because they're engineers, I slowed things down. Sure enough, I got the listing. And then I asked them, I said, You've had a lot of people visiting the property. Do you have anybody that maybe visited the property that I could convince? And I'll charge you a little bit less for that person? Because you've done part of the work? Well, their eyes lit up? And they're like, Yeah, honey, get the list, get the list. So we ran over? And wouldn't you know it? There's this line item page with 17 people on it. Emails, phone numbers, cell phones, the whole thing when they visited everything, why did they have all that they were to detail people and if you understand the disk model, you understand how to like somebody or be likable, then you can speak in terms that meet their needs. So I took the form. And not only did I sell their house in 24 hours for full asking price, but I sold nine people on that list other properties,picked up a lead list and start converting them. Right. It's already persuasion man like, wait, I was people work toohard, because they don't create that connection. They don't talk in terms of what meets other people's needs. They're like, Well, I'm a visual person, I'm gonna talk quickly. I'm gonna and they missed the boat. So I just met them where they were at.So important. I'm horrible at that stuff, man. So let's get into it. I'm a high D squirrel. I want to get right to the point like I suck at my own sales dude. Like I'm hiring someone to sell my stuff because I suck at it. I'm not gonna lie, you guys, I don't have the patience to try to talk you in to buying my shit. I'm more like you want it or not? If not, fuck you. I'm on to the next. Right. But that's just my personality. So I'm interested to learn from you today. Let's get into this. I want to go into the pillars. And I want you to sort of paint the picture here for us. And how and how we approach this and we're gonna talk whether we're calling people, right we're gonna if we're cold calling people or what you like, what do you Turman as as lead conversion or? That's right. That's right. So walk me through it. Where do I start? What do I do?Well, I'll tell you what the first thing is you want to create some sort of a connection if you've gone to a party, you know that people are like, Oh, where are you from? What do you do? Because everybody's looking for that common ground that you talked about before? Yeah. Easiest way to do it is if I was to get on a call with you or something like that, and I heard you I'd be like, Hey Mike, what's going on? Like, Hey, bro, you look like you're having a great day. Andbecause you already got my vibe, right?And so I will find something in the first 10 seconds. Like I remember a built a solar company out in Arizona and I went knocking on Doors with the crew to teach them and this guy opens the door. And he had these blue eyes. Like he's like 65 years old burning blue eyes like, like Frank Sinatra. And the first thing out of my mouth was Hey, Blue Ice. How you doing? To guy? Say hello. I didn't say nothing. And I go, do you get that Frank Sinatra thing. And we bonded and pulled me into the house. We were chatting he showed me around the house. I didn't even know who I wasbeen a serial killer dude. Exactly. Wow.So an example of you look for something that's playful. That's, that's easy. That's likable. That's a little bit different people are bored with their life. So find a way to be alive. Remember, a little bit a little bit risky, right? Yeah,I remember actually triggering all these memories. So I remember I always was more of a referral person. Like I'm not a prospector. Okay? You guys hear this every week on the show. I'm not a prospecting guy. I don't like prospecting. It's not my thing. Just because I don't have the patience for it. I'm not good at it. But I did you know, I would convert Zilla leads, because I just get them organically people coming off the website. And I remember a family called in ones. And I did that. And she had the cutest Irish accent ever. And that's what I said first, like, Oh my God, even oh my god, your accent is so cute. Oh, stop. Right then boom. A day later, I'm having lunch with them. Right? But um, that's when I started realizing this, like dating analogy and all this other stuff. So how do you? Here's how do you scan someone like, hey, like, boom, how do you adapt instantly?Great question. So you know, the disc model. So there's a way that you can notice that if you see somebody walking through the airport rapidly trying to move past people, they're probably not a high s or a high C, they're probably a high D. So when you start to study it, you can immediately from the cadence of their voice, know what they are. So that's one category. Another category is visual, auditory, kinesthetic. And so when we get into details, you talk to somebody that says, I don't feel comfortable making an offer this quickly, I need to talk to my parents. Well, that's a kinesthetic person. They're touching themselves, I don't feel comfortable. So you don't talk to somebody like that and say, but can't you imagine yourself being here? Because imagine is a word used by a visual person. So you try to listen to the cues, and then you repeat the same cues. Can you imagine living here to a visual person? Could you see yourself in the backyard with your friends having a party? Wouldn't that be awesome? No. Like, yeah, that wouldn't be awesome. And so you use these different modalities to engage. So people fall into the category of they feel like they like you. Right? If you and I talk, and we go quick, and we drive and park quickly jump out and get in the bar, and we grab a drink quickly, like, Hey, come on, like, we're not going to be timid sitting there going, oh, excuse me. Yeah. Right.Well, it's almost like if it makes a lot of sense, it's almost like common sense it but we it isn't. This is like equivalent to let's just say I only speak Spanish. And then I'm trying to talk to someone who speaks Arabic, like we're not gonna, we don't, we can't even hear each other. So instantly, we're gonna disperse from one another, right? But you have to speak their language.And the other part to that, Mike, is that most people think that people are thinking about them, but most of us are thinking about ourselves. So when you talk to somebody, they're not, they're not aware that you're looking at their cues. So you can then be kind of like, stealthy, and really just fall into it. And before you know it, they're like, they go up, they don't know why I like this guy, I feel comfortable, or you got the Irish accent. There's a bar, when I used to call offices to speak to say, an influencer. And I would get what we call the gatekeeper, back in the day when you'd actually do that. One of the things I used to say was, no matter what time I called a day, I would say, My God, what a cheerful voice for this time of day. Could be four o'clock in the afternoon. It could be nine o'clock in the morning and be like, that was your first line. Yeah, soon as it went, Oh, you know, ABC Realty, I go, my gosh, what a cheerful voice for this time of day. She's like, Oh, thank you, hey. Because everybody else has gone there. Yeah. So little things like that, that fall into the umbrella of rapport. We could talk about just this forever. But the second stage is really to identify, you know, like to say that when the motivation meets the market, is when you have a transaction. But most people can't identify both of those things. So they somebody tells them their house is worth 600,000 is really worth five, they can't really quantify that they don't know how to do that by asking the right questions. So they go okay, maybe it is worth six. There was a whole bunch of time they get to the house, and they list it and it never sells. Now the last two or three years you could be an idiot. And you could have sold you just had to live Sit at any price, and you'd have 20 people looking at it in a heartbeat. As you know, we've talked about before the markets changing. And so people have to go back to basics and get those skills and one of those skills is going to be asked the right questions to identify the value of the property. But more importantly, is ask the right questions to identify the motivation of the seller. I worked way too many times on deals where I came home, my kids were in bed, and I spent two hours with a little old lady that wanted some company, but was never going to list her property. And I got, I got pissed. So I really started to study, how can you confirm and five different ways that that person actually has to sell in the next 30 to 90 days? Because if not, it's not worth my time to go over. And so I've perfected that with a series of questions that allows you to have a conversation, but actually to elicit through them what their true desire is, it's kind of like back to the dating thing, right? Is this really gonna go all the way? Or, you know, am I wasting my time?Sure. So what complement connect, then to Okay, so why are you interested in selling your house today? Yeah. Why did you click on my website? Am I do I have it? Right?Yes. And so those are those are, you know, there's a series of those general ones, what brought you to think about moving now, one of my favorite ones, once you get into it a little bit, as you can say, hey, you know what, Mike, if if we were to be able to get you the price that you want? Why don't you tell me what would be the perfect moving date for you? Like the ideal you get to wave a magic wand? What date would be the perfect movingdate? It gives you the intention? Right? Yeah.Because people will tell you things like, well, you know, what, if we could move in June, and then spend the summer up north at our country place, and save that whole thing, put some stuff in storage, and then buy in September, that would be ideal rock. And so now they just told you, they have a country place up north, you didn't know about where they're going to move in with their in laws, or whatever the case may be. And so all that as that comes out, the more time you spend, and the more information they give you, the more there's a connection, and the more likely they are to transact with you. So you just keep on asking questions like that until you get the real true feeling, if they avoid you, and they give you like, Well, whenever I don't care, doesn't matter. Just give me my price. When they say vague and global like that, then I get concerned.And in that, in that situation, if they are being vague. In your head, are you sort of like these other really serious or just fishing and they're just bored, and they're just talking100%? So I'm always calibrating and then it might go back to hey, you know what, tell me why did you move to the area you're in right now? Like, what drew you there? And then they start to tell you all the schools or the parks or this or that, or our aunt lives down the street. And so and so what's that going to be like, not living near your aunt who did some babysitting for you. So how you going to work that problem out, because it seems like that was really important to you. And now you start to peel back and peel back. So you got to be a little bit able to jump around from qualifying the person back to qualifying the area of the property, and then back to the person again, because if they don't know you, and it's the first call, you're on, like, imagine you go up to a girl at a bar, and you start asking her intimate questions. She's gonna like, pump the brakes, buddy back off, right? But if you make her laugh, and you compliment her, and then you walk away, then you come back, and all of a sudden, it's a deeper conversation.Why are you still single? Why is a girl like you still single? Seriously, I must have hit the lotto here, I might just be in the right spot. That's amazing. Seeing for me, I don't have the patience to ask these questions, because I'm like that. Hi, Dee, is this harder for DS? To do? Because I would I would. I guess this is probably much easier for an S or a C to handle because the US is like the conversation was correct.Yeah, the s in the in the eyes. Of course, the eyes are all over the place. They they talk a lot. They like to hear themselves talk because they think that you know, they say it best. But I'll tell you toward the end of my career, and I'm a high D is I just walked into a home and I just sat down at the kitchen counter. And I didn't go around the house and look at it. And you said 455 And they're like, Excuse me. I go 455 is what we're listed for. But you haven't even seen our place. And so the Ss are like, but we haven't connected we haven't bonded you haven't seen you know, the countertops and everything. And so you're right to that point, it's harder for a dt. But a D is very driven by outcome. And so ds will do what they don't want to do in order to get a result.true, very true. Ds are willing to do others most others won't do Interesting, you can't do this without knowing this, can you?I mean, I wouldn't recommend it. And the training that I do is I explained the disc. So they have a module, they go through these different areas so they can understand it, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you're going to be in sales, you need to understand human psychology and, and human behavior. So you can predict. And so for instance, a high si si will likely not make a spontaneous decision like that, where you and I would, we're like, yes. Okay, we'll figure it out. So why would you say, oh, so are you ready to make an offer on this house, when you know that the likelihood is that they need to go home and think about it? So instead, you say, Listen, I know you're gonna want to go home and think about this tonight, before you make an offer? And maybe who do you want to talk to about it? And now they're going like, how did he know I want to talk to my uncle. He's hearing me, this guy gets me he's great. The last guy said, We're gonna make an offer you want to make an offer. I hated being pushed like that. So this is what it gives you is it gives you a backstage pass, to reading their mind, which makes them what comfortable. And we all no matter even as DS, we appear, like we're, you know, impervious, and we're tough. But we also are sensitive. And we also want to feel safe. So when you can make people feel safe by speaking in terms of the way they're thinking, home run. That's how I sold 100 homes a year.Love it. All right, said point three. Coming in, with that was asked to write questions. And now what's next? Yeah, sobuild rapport. And then there's that envelope of connection and making them know, like and trust you. Number two is establishing whether there's an actual need, like, do they need your services? The biggest mistake I've seen Realtors make in my entire career, Mike, is because they don't lead generate enough. They try to convince you that you should sell now when you don't need to. They're like, No, but this is a good market. It's a hot market, you should sell it you should buy GT, whateverinstantly turned off, right?turned off. Yeah. Right. So you're actually in the business of sifting and sorting, not of motivating, don't try to convince people now's the time, what you do is you ask the right questions to determine if you need the service. And when they do, then you go to find the right product. So once you've said,people always ask me, Hey, Mike, I want to create, I want more seller leads or they mainly go for unresolved I would say you want more sellers saying I want more sellers. We have to be around more people in houses, or you have to be talking to people that want to sell houses, right. And, you know, it's crazy that I don't think anything that we're going to tell somebody is going to force them to move, right? Like nothing that comes out of my mouth is going to force that guy to buy their house, or sell their house, but what can help come out of my mouth can help guide them into the right decision to make them feel comfortable. Boom, right? Is that accurate?Right on you hit the nail on the head. And so that's what you do. And by the way, when you have a conversation with somebody that will do a transaction in a year from now. And you ask the right questions, and they're like, and you can both come to the conclusion. Well, obviously Mike, now's not the time for you, I get it is it okay, if I follow up with you for next year. And then you put that in your follow up system and we know the fortunes in the follow up. Then you get into not your cold calling, you get into your warm follow ups. then six months later, I call you up Mike and I go Hey, Mike, has anything changed for you? I got you down for moving in about six months. I just wanted to touch base and you're like, No still on track and say, Okay, let me touch base with you in three months. Is that a difficult call? No. So I created the connection. I'm serving to your needs, I put you in a follow up system. And now I've got my data base is my data bank. And that's how you have a business that is worth owning is because you're patient, you sift you sort, you put people into the right envelopes. You open up your month in November, and you're like, Oh, great. I got seven people I'm going to do business with this month. That's awesome. And that's how you have something though. Most agents when they retire, Mike, they don't sell their business. I sold my business for $385,000 because I had a database that I could prove to the next person that these people would do business. And so wouldn't it be nice for those agents that worked 10 or 15 years in the business that they could then actually cash out with 500,000 or a million dollars worth of selling their business?Yeah, that was my worst mistake I just left.Yeah, well you're not alone. Most people do that because quantify it right? But I looked at it as hey, these people as a book of business that are going to do business with me and create a relationship with them. I gave them two gifts a year they got a newsletter, blah blah blah and nurtured them. And then when I exited, I made money off of it. And so the quick way to being rich is the slow way, right? Soar within your data bank, and then just get up the next day. And then eventually, you're not even really cold calling anymore, or lead conversions or warm lead conversions, which are just conversations. Because if you and I have spoken three times in a year, when I call you up, we might talk about the Cardinals. We might talk about this, we might talk about that. And then we go oh, by the way, and you're like, Yeah, I'm ready rock. And now we're buddies. Do yousend any gift after first contact you? What else? Are you doing? Any marketing around staying in touch with them? Or is it just a follow up on the actual call when they want you to?So I would think cold land, sea and air? And so once my database, you are going to constantly get something from me? Yeah, okay, good. I love that. Today in social media, you got to be present in my market center and my office, we actually do it for the brokers, because brokers don't get around to it. So we have a package that we do for them, we have a studio in the office, we film them, we shoot them, we bring in their teams, we do video, and then we put it all out there for them. Because let's face it, a lot of agents are overwhelmed, you have to be good at so many things. As an agent, you know, you have to lead convert, and you have to be a marketer, then you have to do sales, you have to do contracts, you have to hold hands, you have to do building inspections, and nobody's going to be great at all of it. So you should do what you're really good at. And you should delegate the other stuff. And that's why I love the stuff that you do is because you help people with the parts that are difficult for most people.Yeah, I suck at your end. And I'm really good at just don't forget I existed. But I mean, if you were to combine them, it can be pretty powerful. I can't, I can't do that, like I still won't cold call anyone I can't do it. It's just not in my in my skin. But let's go there's different types of calls. This isn't just for outbound this is for inbound, too. So what's the difference between how you approach something whether I'm going outbound and being outbound, and folks, if you're not paying attention, right, now, there's gonna be a giant, expired listings category to go after, there's gonna be a giant for sale by owners category to go after, you have to remember that 90, I think the stats are like 95% of the agents that exist today have never experienced the shift, okay? Which means and then these are, these are also really interesting stats, the number of transactions this year, I forgot the words, but let's just say it was 3 million transactions this year, what they're what they're what we're gonna see, according to the experts, as a third less, so we're gonna see about 66% transactions opposed 99, whatever that math is. So we're gonna see two thirds less than what we saw. If you guys are following that math, however, the amount of agents that will be leaving the business is greater than the amount of transactions still being had.So computes to a lot of people are going to be suffering that don't get the skills going.100% like you cannot, like when this shift happens. And the last time folks like I shifted in the short sales, I went where the business was on, and that was always my claim to fame was short sale, short sales, we did a lot. But real estate is always going to be bought and sold. But what changes is how you do business, and then the skill sets you obtain. I believe that in this next market like this, being able to convert and talk to people is going to be so important, because people are going to have a lot of questions. Whereas in the last market, we just came out of the peak, there weren't as many questions are like more, let's go, everything's a good deal. But when things hit the fan like they are, and what they're about to is like, there's going to be a shift and these people are going to have a lot more questions. And the more comfortable you make them feel you're gonna make, you're gonna win the deal. Because I don't believe there's enough people that know how to do that.Yeah, and I mean, I might mess this up. But there's something like difficult times make strong people, strong people make easy times, and easy time make weak people. And we've just gone through a period of time, specifically in real estate that has been relatively easy, right, you just you just have to get a listing and take an order. And so we have people with very, very poor skill set practice, they're used to making easy money. And now they're gonna have to work a little bit harder, the sales cycle is longer, they're gonna start getting hungry, they're gonna have to deal with people that are upset because they can't get the price that they saw their neighbor yet. And they're gonna have to learn how to handle that narrative. And a lot of people don't know how to do it. And so they're gonna go home, like a lot of people or go back to their office, and they're gonna complain, and they're gonna play the victim. And my definition of victim is that when circumstances are better than your skill set, that's all. So if you don't get skilled, you ain't gonna be paying the bills. And so where are you going to do it? You got to find a place and you got to find the motivation to go through with it. Again, human nature is we like the easy path. We don't want to have to do things that are difficult. And so it's going to start first with what are your goals and dreams for the next 15 months heading into two 2023 What are you willing to do? Who are you surrounding yourself with? And are you going to decide to make it happen no matter what an entrepreneur doesn't need to know the problems in front of them, they just need to know. They're gonna figure it out.shrew. It's almost it's, it's the way we're made to. I mean, it's a survival of the fittest. It's the way we're made its way God made us, we just figure things out. It's like when a squirrel in the winter already knows that they have to go and store their nuts. And they practice that all year round. And it's the same concept as because they know that innately. It's why some babies can swim. Like, there's certain things that we just know. And when your backs up against the wall, guys, and I'm telling you from firsthand experience, two years ago, I was fucking dead, broke, dead broke, maybe $100 in my checking account, and you figure shit out when shit hits the wall, but you keep on going. Right? Well, you know,it's interesting, you say that, because I don't know if you've seen this, but they did an experiment with mice, and they put my mouse in a cup. So it can't with water and it can't get out. And it treads water for about 20 minutes. And it's I heard this, right, and then a dice. So then they started taking the mouse out about a minute before it would die and give it a break. They put it back in. And now with the specter of hope. He would tread water for 60 hours. Wow. And so I often say to people, if you want to do really well, in real estate, it's so important. You don't try to do it on your own. Get to be part of a mastermind group, surround yourself with other people that are going to say, yeah, it is tougher, but this is what I'm doing. Yeah, it does take longer, and I you I'm using this new strategy. And so you're not alone. And then you all of a sudden, like you're like, okay, yeah, all right, I'll pick myself up and go to many realtors out there trying to do it alone. They don't invest in money in their education, they figure think they can just figure it out when the world's changing rapidly. And then they suffer. And then they go home. And they tell their spouse, a story that the spouse can't confirm. And then they sit on the couch and have a beer and Uncle Sam comes knocking at the door soon they can't pay their bills. And it's a sad story. Because, like you to your point, a lot of agents are going to leave the business in the next 24 months.Yep. Which is an opportunity for those who stick around though. And there's always an opportunity, folks as glass half empty as a half full well, it's all based on mindset and how you're going to react to what we're about to face. Rock. I think you've had a really good episode here, folks, if you want to learn more about rock, rock teaches this course I've seen it, I've been in it, it's really good. I suggest that if you guys like what you see here today, that you look into it, I believe what you're teaching people is going to be necessary. And what I like most about is you're not charging $5,000 To take it because you probably should be rock, why don't you talk a little bit more about what that is?Yeah, it's called Real Estate Sales mastery. It's a 90 day simple bootcamp where you get to have access to recorded videos that you can digest on your own. And then you get on a weekly call, where we do role plays, and we do competitions, and you actually get to call the leads that we have, because we have we have buyers, funds that want to buy certain area codes. So we're excited about this, because so many agents get stuck just at the beginning Mike where they're like, Okay, I gotta get the numbers into a dialer, I got to put them into a CRM. And that's enough to take a lot of people out, forget, they are afraid to call don't know what to say, Yeah, but we handle all of that for them. And then we give them the coaching the scripting. And then we help them close the deals, and we pay them while they're getting educated. So we know the next 24 months is going to be crucial for real estate. And so you know, when the going gets tough, the entrepreneurs start to get creative. And so that's why we came up with this course, as we said, hey, this is what people are going to need. Let's leverage technology, so we don't have to charge $5,000 for it. So it's basically 97 bucks a month, and you're in, you get the skill set. And then you take that skill set to sell to the funds through us or just take the skill set to your marketplace and dominate your marketplace. Knowing that you can build rapport specifically and how to do it. You're really good at qualifying the client really good at qualifying the property and then next step is you close for the sale.Love it, love it. Where can we find more about you rock?Rock, Tom's dot com is the best place and people get me on social media or rock at Rock Tom's dot com if you want to send me an email.Folks, it is time to start looking at what you're going to do next. Yes, things are going to be a little bit slow for the immediate time being. This is what happens on a shift the first few months are always shaky. It's what you do during those first two months because whatever you do in the next 30 to 90 days is going to start paying off in the next 120 to 180 and if You don't start to take the time to do that now. And I'm not doom and gloom but I don't want to be in for a rude awakening. I've been here before I've seen this rock has been here before you seen this. And I think there's that many people that have been real estate longer than me rock, you take the cake on that one.Two words for you starts with an F.Love that. And Roc is also going to be working with us on owner advocate, which we'll be doing another podcast on but if you guys want to visit owner advocate agent.com. It's a listing system. And a lot of the leads that we're calling sort of go hand in hand with this listing system as well. And to give you guys an idea, I just wanted to give you guys a little bit of a teaser. My partner Dustin through rocks efforts have actually brought in how many transfers or leads that we get in the last two weeks.Oh my god. I don't remember the number but we're nailing like 10 appointments a day. Yeah. And it's just scaling every day.And it's using these exact same things we talked about today from people that are generating new leads the best things that people are generating leads I've never even called anyone before they're doing it through the training that you provide. So it's amazing to get involved.Some people that aren't even realtors that have zero sales experience and they're getting success because the system is set up for them to simplistically winit's awesome dude you're killer man appreciate appreciate having you on the show here we appreciate you guys listening to this episode of the real estate marketing dude podcast thank you for the reviews go ahead and make sure you subscribe to the podcast subscribe the channel on YouTube, follow us on all the social accounts just look up real estate marketing do.com And I think I'm the only one there but if not, make sure you look for a little logo and you'll be able to see what that is.

What are you doing to grow and improve your life?We all want to be the best version of ourselves, make more money, and have better and more intimate relationships.Now, think about highly successful people like athletes and entertainers. They all want to improve their craft, so how do they do it? A common denominator with them is that they all have coaches, mentors, or others experienced in their field.These coaches and mentors can give them feedback and hold them accountable for growing and improving. When you work with someone with more experience than you who has accomplished what you wish to accomplish, you can shave weeks, months, or even years off your learning curve.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about why you're not succeeding in your life and business, why everyone needs a coach or mentor in their lives, and how my 90 Day Fully Expressed Challenge can help you achieve fast and long-lasting changes in your everyday life.

Are you letting your past dictate your future?All the pain and trauma we experienced in our lives have created who we are today. Some people use their past as an excuse as to why they aren't living the lives they believe they deserve, while others use their past as a way to not only create life-changing success but also as a way to help others overcome their own trauma. It's up to you to decide which path you take. In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview entrepreneur, real estate extraordinaire, certified life coach, Master NLP Practitioner, badass Ironman, and most of all, devoted father and husband: Dan GriebDan Grieb believes that life is 10% what happens to you, & 90% how you respond to it.By applying this mindset to every aspect of his life – from fatherhood to business, health to wealth, and everything in between, Dan has been able to become one of the top real estate agents in Central Florida, complete multiple Ironman events, and create a beautiful family life despite his past trauma.

Success requires a plan, dedication, resilience, and for you to be horny for life and all of its opportunities.

What can you do today that you were not capable of a year ago?Do you find that that new skill has become easy and uninteresting? After all, the process of learning and mastering a new skill is repetition.It's this repetition that threatens our progress - how many people do you know who do the same thing every day, year after year, and never grow or change? While becoming an expert through repetition is crucial to our success, we need to find a way to freshen up our lives and routines if we want to continue to achieve new and wonderful things.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about why boredom is the enemy of success, how to find ways to freshen up your life, and why auditing your day is one of the best ways to improve.

What's stopping you from quitting your job and starting a business?You'd be surprised to learn that for most of us, the answer is fear.Fear of failure, fear of uncertainty, and fear of other people's opinions. What we don't realize is that, when we embrace that fear, we open ourselves up to a new life full of opportunities and possibilities!In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview entrepreneur, business coach, and founder of Urban20Something: Leah Gervais.After years of preparing to become a lawyer, Leah had a gut feeling that she was making the wrong decision and decided to refuse acceptance into law school.With this newfound freedom and uncertainty, Leah immersed herself in the online world of entrepreneurship and founded Urban20Something - her first side hustle blog with one goal in mind - to help younger professionals successfully scale an online side hustle to the point of it exceeding the usual 9-5 job.Since then, Leah has turned this side hustle into a full-size, 7-figure business, and is passionate about helping her clients prioritize their dreams, all while achieving financial freedom.

What do you want your life to look like in 5 years? Take a moment to think about it. Now ask yourself, “Who do I need to become in order to live that life?”Creating positive change in ourselves is one of the most important steps when it comes to achieving success, but in order for this change to remain permanent, it needs to be done slowly over time.When you teach your puppy a new command, does the puppy immediately remember and follow along? Or do you need to practice repetition and give your puppy rewards?The same thing goes for us. The greatest success stories don't happen overnight, they happen over time. In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I talk about how to start implementing positive change into your life, why our past predicts our future, and how you can keep yourself motivated to create the life of your dreams.

Should you have a credit card?While some people believe that having a credit card is dangerous and only leads to debt and money problems, many others believe that it is one of the best ways to build your credit score and obtain access to “other people's money,” like loans and mortgages.Wherever your beliefs lie, there's no doubt in saying that successful people are exceptionally good at using the credit system to their advantage.

In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview a marketing expert and the founder and CEO of SkillBank: Mehak Vohra.Mehak started her career as a Computer Science student at Purdue University. That was until she decided to drop out of college in 2016 after getting clear on her vision of building the most scalable marketing agency in the world, but there was still one thing she was missing - the necessary skills required to do so. Mehak decided to throw herself in the deep end and learn as much as she could. After 4 years of running a top media company, she was generating 1-3 million+ views per month on LinkedIn alone.This real-world experience made Mehak realize that she had learned things that her college peers did not.

Is your peer group helping you grow or holding you back?It goes back to the famous quote by Jim Rohn, “You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” What many of us fail to realize is that the best way to start leveling up our lives is to change our environment from one that is filled with doubt and pessimism to one filled with support, encouragement, and guidance. In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview real estate investor, coach, Podcast host, and one of M1's Whole-Life Millionaires: Paul Thompson.Paul Thompson was already a millionaire when he joined M1 in 2019, but while he had his finances in check, he lacked an essential component to living the Whole-Life Millionaire Lifestyle - a peer group of high-achievers who help each other create epic results in health, relationships, bucket list adventures, and wealth.Since investing in himself and joining M1, Paul has not only increased his net worth, he has also created lifelong friendships, achieved massive personal growth, gone on epic adventures, and is the healthiest he has ever been.

Are you investing in real estate?What most people don't realize is that real estate is so much more than just buying a house to live in. Not only is real estate a great investment, but it is also one of the best ways to start building an epic life for you and your family. In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview two badass real estate investors and coaches: Kyara and Khalil Uqdah A.K.A Charm City Buyers Kyara and Khalil Uqdah, are the co-founders of Charm City Buyers, a multi-seven figure real estate development firm specializing in Baltimore properties. They also run the NEXTGen Accelerator program, which has helped hundreds of mentees across the country find, finance, and renovate investment properties in six months or less. Khalil and Kyara have developed a proven, results-based system that allows them to have extraordinary success in Real Estate Investing. Their mission is to teach fellow Millennials and Gen Xers how to build a tremendous amount of wealth in a very short period of time.

Are you a good leader?Success in business can be boiled down to two things: Leadership and Leverage.A good leader knows how to motivate and bring out the best in people. A good leader also knows that in order for a business to grow, they need to leverage a badass team to make it happen. Without these two things, you end up owning a job instead of owning a business. In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview a real estate investor and M1 member who used leadership and leverage to become a Whole-Life Millionaire - Rory Cummins.Rory grew up in Charlotte NC and did what he thought he had to do: go to college, get a degree, and get a job. After graduating and working for a few years as a new home builder and salesman, he'd had enough and decided it was time to fulfill a dream of world travel. The experience was life-changing, Rory met his wife while traveling and knew there had to be more to life than the daily grind and working 80+ hours a week. In his search for “more”, Rory discovered M1 Mastermind. Since joining M1, he has flipped over 13 homes, maintained an epic portfolio of Airbnbs, taken his net worth from 6 figures to over $2 million, used leverage to cut his workweek in half (while doubling his income!), gone on bucket list adventures, and made life long authentic relationships.

Do you believe you can make your greatest wish come true?Many people believe that by putting their dreams out into the universe, they will become reality. While that might be a very important first step, dreams will only be dreams until we use focused energy and get to work.In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview actress, coach, and founder of Wishbeads: Alexa Fischer Alexa believes that you can achieve almost anything you wish for by getting clear on what you want, making that declaration to the universe, and putting in the work. “When you open your mind to possibilities, let go of fear and do the work, amazing things happen.”Alexa has been using these methods for years!

What's the one thing you wish to accomplish before you die? What are the steps you need to take to make it happen? Too often we get wrapped up with the obstacles and end up talking ourselves out of the things that light us up. Instead of thinking about all of the reasons you can't do something–think about the ‘how.' Focusing on obstacles only leads to inaction, and the price of inaction is far greater than the price of making a mistake.In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview an investor and M1 member who has truly embodied the Whole-Life Millionaire lifestyle - David Downs. David has stepped away from a scarcity mindset and he's getting sh*t done! Before joining M1, David was grinding away at a corporate job during the day and had a net worth of $50,000. After saying YES, taking the leap, and joining M1, he knew he had to channel his focus into becoming an entrepreneur, and has taken his net worth to a whopping $10 million in only 5 years!It's incredible how much you can accomplish with the right mindset and a tribe of badasses who will support, encourage, and challenge you every step of the way.

Do you believe you are worthy of success, love, and happiness?Many of us are scarred by our past experiences, leading us to have a skewed view of our true value and self-worth, and ultimately unable to experience growth or success.Only when we identify and address those extreme emotional events from our past head-on, can we live a life in abundance. In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview Michele Molitor, a nationally recognized speaker, certified executive coach, Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) practitioner, consultant, trainer, writer, and hypnotist who has helped countless individuals break through barriers and regain their confidence and self-worth!Michele is the founder and CEO of Nectar Consulting Inc., and co-author of the best-selling book “Breakthrough Healing”. With over 25 years of experience, Michele is an expert at enhancing the capacity of leaders, building high-performing teams, and exponentially increasing bottom-line results. Her passion and unique Rapid Rewiring approach help others amplify their natural talents and expand their leadership throughout all aspects of their lives.

Everybody needs a coach or mentor. Some of the world's most successful athletes, entrepreneurs, and actors have coaches. Take a look at Michael Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even Oprah Winfrey. They all attribute a large part of their success to having a coach or mentor. A good mentor will empower you to achieve things you never believed were possible. In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview a fellow real estate investor, mentee, and one of M1's Whole-Life Millionaires - Josh StampsJosh is a high-energy, professional, top-producing real estate investor and realtor who uses his 14+ years of experience and extensive market knowledge to help buyers, sellers, and investors acquire and sell properties.Since joining M1 in March of 2020, Josh TRIPLED his net worth, created a 6-figure stock portfolio, acquired several rental properties, started a real estate flipping business, became a master of his mindset, health, and fitness, has been on extreme adventures around the world, and has a stronger relationship with his family than ever before!It just goes to show that when you surround yourself with the right people, anything is possible.

What would you do if money wasn't an obstacle in your life? Think about it, you could dedicate more time to your family, go on epic adventures, and give back to your community. Instead, most of us live with the employee mindset. We believe we have to trade our time for money and in that process, give up our family, health, and relationships in order to survive. But all of that can be changed when we start shifting our mindset from that of an employee to that of an investor. In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I interview one of the most badass real estate investors I know - Cody Bjugan.Cody had his first child at the age of 19. He knew he needed to provide so he did what most would - he gave up his dreams and started a career as a flooring salesman.While this was a step in the right direction, Cody was motivated by his desire to provide an extraordinary life for his family, which led him to find a “backdoor into the real estate development industry.”19 years later, Cody has developed over 2,300 lots/units of raw dirt to create almost $1 BILLION in revenue from residential real estate development.That's why, in 2019, he founded VestRight where he teaches others a simple way to create 5 to 7-figure paydays from off-market land deals without owning or developing the land, without debt, and with very little cash at risk.

What stands between you and success? For some, it's a lack of knowledge and a supportive environment, for others, it's the fear of failure. So, how do you solve these problems? Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, but my M1 Mastermind comes close. In M1, you'll learn how to master your mindset, WIN the money game, and you'll be surrounded by a group of badass people who will support, encourage, and challenge you to achieve greatness. In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I am super stoked to feature Michael Jones, a real estate investor, CFO at Texas Home Loan Pro, and one of M1's Whole-Life Millionaires. Michael joined M1 in 2017 to level up his life by surrounding himself with high-achieving individuals. Since then, he's acquired 6 single-family homes, a massive 34 acres project, and has taken his net worth from $250k to over $2.5 million!Michael has truly embodied the Whole-Life Millionaire Lifestyle and believes that he is called to live abundantly and share that abundance in hopes of inspiring others to achieve their greatest potential.

What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?Would you quit your job start a new business? Or would you sell everything and travel the world?Too often we worry about what society will think if we stray away from the “normal way of life,” and as a result, end up unhappy, unfulfilled, and trapped inside of the box.My guest today on the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life Podcast, is Darren McMahon. Darren knew it was time to live life differently after overcoming a decades-long battle with epilepsy. He decided to change everything in his life: his environment, his peer group, and his way of thinking. This new way of living helped him grow and become a master certified neuro performance strategist, a top-tier business coach to individuals and high-level executives around the world, and a master salesman, generating over 100 million dollars in sales during his career.Darren has been deeply involved in the personal development arena for the past twenty years and as a result has become an international trainer, peak performance strategist, and speaker who has impacted thousands of lives.He has always had a passion for motivating and inspiring others and has been committed to living a life based on gratitude, integrity, resilience, constant growth, and giving back.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Darren shares how changing his environment helped him become a 6 figure earner, The message behind his book, “Only Dead Fish Go with the Flow,” and why he prefers the old school mentors.

What would you do if you tripled your income?While that is a thought-provoking question, I think the real question we should ask ourselves is: Who do I need to become in order to triple my income?We all have the ability to achieve those results, but not everyone has put in the work to create the habits, rituals, and routines that are needed to do so. In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I am privileged to feature Rolando Archila, a badass M1 member and entrepreneur, who not only tripled his income but also recently hit the Whole-Life Millionaire mark!Rolando is a nomadic entrepreneur, creative storyteller, real estate investor, and marketing strategist.

In the space of two short years, Rolando was able to think bigger, create authentic relationships, invest in real estate, create an epic crypto portfolio, TRIPLE his income, and hit the millionaire milestone!

What is your one thing?What is the one thing that you are so good at that you could turn into a profitable business?So many people get distracted and end up chasing the new shiny object, and as a result, are never able to achieve a level of mastery and success in their lives.The most successful people in the world become masters of their craft first, and only then begin diversifying into other areas. John Lee Dumas is truly a master of his craft.As the host of Entrepreneurs on Fire, an award-winning podcast, John has interviewed over 3000 inspiring Entrepreneurs who are truly ON FIRE. His goal is to deliver the inspiration and strategies you need to FIRE UP your entrepreneurial journey and create the life you've always dreamed of.He discovered that when you pour yourself into your one thing, you are able to achieve successes that you could have never imagined.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, John shares how the military gave him the discipline he needed to kickstart his career, why he loves living his life in Puerto Rico, and why we need to support the new generation of innovators.

Nothing has meaning but the meaning you give it.What that means is, you decide how you respond to the circumstances presented to you every day. Do you focus on the money you lost in the stock market or on the lessons you learned and the experience you gained? Do you focus on giving the best presentation of your life or on not making any mistakes?At the end of the day, it's up to you to decide whether you are the victim or the victor of your life. Sean Swarner was diagnosed with two deadly, different, and unrelated forms of cancer, once at the age of thirteen and again at the age of sixteen. His chances of survival were so low, he'd have had a better chance of winning the lottery multiple times with the same numbers! But that didn't stop him.With a belief of “you attract what you focus on,” Sean defied the odds and survived. He went on to redefine the impossible by being the first cancer survivor to climb to the top of Mt. Everest, with only one lung!From there he stood atop the highest point on all 7 continents, skied to the South and North Poles, and completed the Hawaii Ironman. Sean also serves as a source of inspiration as the founder of the non-profit organization, The CancerClimber Association, as the author of the book “Keep Climbing,” and as a motivational speaker to corporations, universities, and other organizations around the globe.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Sean shares how he was able to beat cancer twice, why he chose to climb to the highest peak in the world, and how he is dedicated to helping others tap into their inner power and potential.

There's a saying that I tell new M1 members that goes something like this: “Making your first million dollars is the hardest, making your second million is inevitable.” This is because you've created the habits of a millionaire. Some people hit that milestone sooner than others do, but if there's one thing I've realized over the years is that those who join mastermind groups like M1 reach that millionaire milestone way before anyone else. In this week's episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, I am privileged to feature one of the biggest badass Whole-Life Millionaires that M1 has helped create. Gogo Bethke is a realtor, investor, and has been proclaimed the “social media queen," having built her wealth using social media platforms.Gogo has been in the real estate space since 2011, having conducted over 200 transactions equaling about $75 million.

Do you know anyone that's worked with Sir Elton John or Elon Musk, sent people down to see the wreck of the Titanic on the sea bed or closed museums in Florence for a private dinner party and then had Andre Bocelli serenade them while they eat their pasta?Quoted as “The Real Life Wizard of Oz" by Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine, Steve Sims is the best-selling author of "BLUEFISHING - The Art Of Making Things Happen”, sought-after coach, and motivational speaker at a variety of networks.At a glance, Steve is a man who you'd probably avoid making eye contact with, but that's the thing, because despite his gruff exterior, Steve is remarkably open, engaging, generous, intuitive, insightful, and competent – and he's built a remarkably successful entrepreneurial career.Not only is Steve a badass author, he is also the visionary founder of the world's first luxury concierge that delivers the highest level of personalized travel, transportation, and cutting-edge entertainment services to corporate executives, celebrities, professional athletes, and other discerning individuals interested in living life to its fullest.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Steve shares how he went from being a bouncer to catering for the worlds wealthiest people, a quote from his early years that completely changed his life, and why his book might make you mad enough to take action in your life.

We live in a society where most people are addicted to instant gratification. What that means is we want change now, we want growth now, we want to 10x our investments now. Very few people are willing to play the long game when it comes to creating wealth, even though it's the best way to do so. Briton Hill demonstrated a natural talent for investing from a young age, starting his journey by investing his earned money into silver and gold coins.When Briton turned 16, his father introduced him to an investment newsletter called The Weber Global Opportunities Report by legendary investor, Chris Weber, who made his first million as a teenager in the precious metals market back in the 1970s.Briton was hooked and began following Chris' bi-weekly reports and recommendations which helped him achieve financial freedom by the time he turned 21.Today, Briton is the spokesperson for Weber Global Management.

Are you still trading your time for money? So many people are living paycheck to paycheck, doing the 9 to 5, and praying that one day, they will achieve financial freedom and whole life fulfillment.What they fail to realize is that this won't be achieved at a day job. The best way to achieve this is to invest in businesses and other passive income vehicles. Prior to joining M1, Steve and Linzee Ciprani were constantly trading their time for money. Steve was an educator in his local school district and Linzee was a new entrepreneur tackling real estate and her business, Ciprani Consulting. Between focusing on making ends meet and raising a new family, they were finding it extremely difficult to excel in other important parts of life: health and relationships. It wasn't until joining M1 that they truly began to grow not only in their business ventures, but also in their health, wealth, and their relationships.Since then, Steve and Linzeee have become masters of scaling businesses, creating systems, implementing procedures, and helping others grow through education, training, and coaching.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, we discuss what life was like before joining M1, how a lack of awareness can be the one thing holding you back, and why it's so important to start investing in cash-flowing assets.

What was that one moment that completely changed your life?We've all experienced them. For some, it was a chance encounter that led to a new business venture, for others, it was the day they were let go from their job.Whatever it was, good or bad, there was an opportunity in that moment, and that opportunity took your life to where it is today. (on the assumption that it is all good. Not trying to speak to the negative) After receiving a late diagnosis of Asperger's and experiencing what can only be described as life-shattering trauma at the age of just 20, Daniel Mangena spent the next seven years struggling to keep these revelations and events from spilling into every area of his life. As a result of his struggles, he built a simple, four-step system called the Beyond Intention Paradigm.Initially built as a lifeline grappling with suicidal thoughts, Beyond Intention transformed Daniel's life from misery to celebration. Daniel has since impacted thousands of lives and wants nothing more than to share the tools that saved his life with others.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Daniel and I discuss what life was like after his aspergers diagnosis, how he overcame his scarcity mindset, and why he is so passionate about helping others reach their full potential.

What is your relationship with money?You might be great at making it, but terrible at keeping it, or maybe you just avoid speaking about money altogether because it's “rude to talk about it.” What you might not realize is that the beliefs and feelings you have about money were passed down to you. Only once you have that awareness, can you create more empowering beliefs around money. Robert Gill grew up in the tough, rough and tumble town of Bayonne, New Jersey. His Dad struggled working three jobs to support his Mom and four children. Although there was no shortage of love, his life was centered around money scarcity, alcohol and drug abuse, and a constant feeling of fear when it came to planning and preparing for the future. Robert knew he had to do something to change the direction his life was headed, so he set out with the sole purpose of learning everything there is to know about money and to provide much-needed financial education so no one has to experience the pain and helplessness that his family did.​In the last 20 years of working in the financial services space, Robert and his team have done over 23,000 cash flow analyses and over 10,000 financial plans, helping thousands of people create financial freedom.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Robert and I discuss how personal development helped him take his company to new levels, why he has a deep need to connect with and help others, and how he became a master of finances.

What is holding you back from a fulfilled and successful life?For some, it's as simple as a lack of tools and resources, but it's often a lot deeper than that. Most of the time, it comes down to your programming - a strong belief system that was instilled in you by your upbringing and your environment.In order for you to live a life of success and fulfillment, you need to audit the belief systems that were instilled in you and upgrade them to something more empowering. It was a decade ago that Tracy O'Malley hit rock bottom. She was faced with deaths, divorce, addiction, and a belief system that was given to her by her father. Tracy decided it was time for a clean slate. She cut ties with her career and all negative people who were holding her back, dove headfirst into a network marketing & leadership opportunity, and went from $0 to $1 Million in income in only two short years. Since then, Tracy has gone on to build a multi-million dollar organization and has coached thousands of people in leadership and communication. In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Tracy and I discuss how she overcame past trauma and addiction, how to look for the opportunities in every failure, and why we need to be able to tap into both our masculine and feminine sides.

What does it take to become a Whole-Life Millionaire? Some of you might say, “Time… which I don't have because I'm trying to run a business,” or “People… but I don't have support like that.” There are many things you might need in order to create a financially free and fulfilled life, but there are only two things you 100% need - The determination to never ever EVER quit and a strong, badass, supportive environment. Raman Velu immigrated to the USA in 1998, at the age of 37. He couldn't find a job, he didn't have money to go back to India, AND he could barely speak English. Velu was able to make ends meet for a while, but it wasn't until 2006 that his life began to change. He started attending Tony Robbins seminars and began realizing that he had a choice.It was up to him to create a better life for himself and his family. And that's exactly what he did. Since joining M1, Velu has garnered a net worth of over 2 million dollars and is now a 100 percenter!

In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Velu and I discuss what life was like as a new immigrant in the USA, how M1 has given him an incalculable ROI, and how he has developed a passion for contribution.

In 2010, Marie-Helene Lamarre was pronounced dead in the emergency room after being involved in a fatal car accident. One of the doctors refused to give up, and she was brought back just moments later. This was a pivotal moment in Marie-Helene's life, because during this moment she had a revelation: being paid a salary and working for someone else makes no sense, her time is invaluable, and you can create anything you put your mind to. Marie-Helene was born with, what I like to call, passionate curiosity. This curiosity for life and people led her to obtain a master's degree in environmental sciences and an MBA in bioindustry.Marie-Helene has also worked with the United Nations in Russia, assessing and reinforcing the sustainability of constructive relations on an international level.Today, Marie-Helene is an entrepreneur, investor, visionary, coach, mother, lover of all outdoor activities, former gymnast, and a badass Whole-Life Millionaire!In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Marie-Helene and I discuss how her life changed after she was brought back to life, how the M1 Mastermind helped her achieve millionaire status, and how simple mindset shifts completely changed her life.

How do you build a business you love and feel on purpose without driving yourself to burnout? Joel Primus, award winning documentary film-maker and author of Getting Naked: the Bare Necessities of Entrepreneurship, believes that stripping back is the key to fulfillment in our success-driven culture. Joel grew up loving long distance running. As an elite athlete, he represented Canada at the World Youth Games.It was his goal to be the best. To take on other athletes around the world and come out on top every time, but with goals like these comes massive amounts of pressure and self-expectation.This pressure was crippling for Joel, and eventually led to losing himself and being unable to compete. Fortunately, these lessons stuck with him when he shifted his focus towards entrepreneurship. Joel believes that “Entrepreneurship is the journey to self discovery to help us create the opportunities that allow us to find the points of entry into our pain, to release our pain, so we can truly be happy.”Today, Joel is a serial entrepreneur, author, speaker, former elite marathon runner, the founder of a premium underwear brand, “Naked,” and the founder of Kosan Travel, one of the most successful Kickstarter apparel products of all time. In this episode of Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Joel and I discuss the bare necessities of entrepreneurship, how his love for running led him down a slippery slope, and why personal growth is the key to building a business you love.

What is your addiction? We tend to think of drugs or alcohol, but addiction shows up in many ways . . . like work or even your cell phone. We use these addictions to escape. To forget about trauma and pain.. It's only when we address the trauma - when we face the pain - that we are able to let go, overcome the fear, and vanquish the addictions that are holding us back.After almost a decade of work and helping over 10,000 patients, Sam Qurashi decided to walk away from his psychiatric residency at an addiction hospital.He realized that the people he treated turned to drugs as a quick fix instead of dealing with the root cause of the problem. Sam believes that “our focus should be on education over medication,” and that there is a more effective way to help people heal and overcome their addictions and past traumas. As a result, Sam has dedicated his life to helping people remove the crippling mental block that is keeping them trapped and unable to live their best lives.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Sam and I discuss the best ways to overcome triggers when it comes to trauma and addiction, why he decided to leave his residency as a psychiatrist, and why we need to create awareness before we can create change.

What does true happiness look like for you? Most people believe that they will find happiness once they have become famous, wealthy, or successful. But the hard truth is that happiness is not something that can be bought or given to you by someone else. It's something we have to create for ourselves. Kristina Mand-Lakhiani, co-founder of the world-renowned global educational organization, Mindvalley, advocates that everyone is 100% responsible for their happiness in life. She believes that life is too important to be taken seriously and brings joy and love into everything she does. Kristina has impacted thousands of lives by teaching people that the journey to finding true happiness isn't the rosy picture so often painted for us. In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Kristina and I discuss why she is so passionate about teaching people how to discover true happiness, how she came to co-found Mindvalley, and why it's the connections we make in our lifetime that really matter.

Are you working on the things that you really love? So many people think that in order to achieve success they must push their passions aside and focus only on making money.But taking this route often leads to depression, burnout, and feeling like you lack purpose in your life.Tony Martignetti was making epic strides in finance and leading biotech companies. He was filling up his wealth jar . . . but this was at the expense of everything he enjoyed. Tony fell into a deep depression trying to find fulfillment in these positions. It wasn't until he took a step back and looked at his life that he realized he'd been neglecting his passion for creativity. Tony has since found fulfillment in helping people unlock their full potential as leaders and achieve clarity in their lives in order to be energized, fully present, and unstoppable!In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Tony and I discuss what it means to be living in your purpose, why many perspectives are far better than one, and how to start looking at your life through a positive lens.

Rock is the founder of M1 Mastermind and has helped people attain millionaire status and helped them become financially independent. He is a motivational speaker who has impacted the lives of so many with his viral Goalcast video "How to Change the Way You See Yourself" Here's what you missed: *Stop resisting to perform in private* * "I've learned that in life. If you don't rock your money, then it's really hard to rock your life. " (01:01) * "I tell people that when you pay the price of practice in private, you perform in public like a pro." (02:08) * "So I help people materialize the things that they want in their life, wherever they are in that process...you might as well win the money game. So that you have those choices I talked about before, and then you can do whatever you want. " (03:33) * "... life just keeps on getting better. When you start to look at those little things and dial in and stop resisting what most people are resisting, which is to perform in private." (08:44) *Become the victor* * "So when you are subject to adversity, I say that in life, if you do it as difficult.... It requires courage, but when you do it, you get to expand your identity." (06:23) * "...everybody plays the victim card. And then when you play the victim card, what you do is you give up your power to the outside circumstances." (07:37) *Talent pushes* * "…how you do anything is how you do everything." (09:45) * "Who benefits, who becomes a better person for their next job, the guy who's, didn't give it meaning and mediocre or the guy who made a game up and decided to give it meaning and to serve." (11:20) * "…whatever you're doing, do it with passion, do it like it's the most important job do it like you can make a difference" (11:46) * "Like be bold, be bold and serve, be bold and serve. And you'll be amazed. The world lacks so much talent world is screaming for talent. And talent to me is talent pushes non talent doesn't push." (14:27) *Energy comes from vision* * "...people don't think about the, the aura that you really bring into a room when you do that." (12:18) * "...you visualize it and they're about to come onto your show. You become alive. Energy is produced. It's an inside job..." (16:42) * "You don't need any fuel. You need a vision that you're fricking connected to. And that's where energy comes from." (17:07) * "This is if you don't know your vision or right now, you don't feel like you have a vision, surround yourself with other people who do and borrow theirs until you get your own." (17:42) *Keep on Chasing* * "I want to be around bad asses and I got fired up and I got inspired and I started to chase and chase and chase. It took me four years, but I became the number one agent in that office. And then I bought the company and I took it from 300,000,094 agents to 275 agents." (19:24) * "but one thing for sure. Is they push, they push for their own greatness and the greatness of people around you." (20:27) *Talent needs to be challenged* * "...talent loves to be challenged...People that are, that are struggling often can't handle the adversity." (20:49) * "…a tree that grows in beautiful soil and flourishes it's because it has rich soil called support. It has the sun called encouragement and it has the wind called challenge." (20:59) * " if I come from my model of the world and only challenged somebody who grew up with a ton of encouragement and support, they're going to wilt like a flower. I got to give them the right amount of challenge. But I also have to give them the right amount of encouragement and support. " (22:28) *Create a new unfamiliar territory* * "So isn't it fascinating that your past can predict how you are motivated? And if you lack the adversity, a lot of adversity may take that person out. " (23:15) * "A lot of people, they aren't willing to adapt to whatever the changes" (23:39) * " tactics change with technology." (25:38) * "And so most people are not aware that those two principles, the laws of behavior don't change." (25:59) * "... instead of becoming unfamiliar, right. Going to the unfamiliar. Your past will become your future unless you create new unfamiliar territory." (26:44) *The cash flow quadrants* * "... you were taught to save money, to spend money." (31:04) * " So I take people through how to win the money game is Robert Kiyosaki's cashflow quadrants. And for those people that don't know it is there's four of them. One is you're an employee and one is you're self-employed that's on the left side, 94, 95% of the population. It's a skill set to be on that site, a certain skillset. Then, then the other side is business person investor, which is about 5% of the population." (32:36) * "And so if you want financial freedom, you have to walk through that process of where you at in each of the four quadrants." (36:02) *Teach with experience* * "And so now I teach people the four different quadrants, how to build an identity, what to do, what not to do. And you can't teach what you haven't experienced." (37:10) * "That's not the voice that's working for me right now. If there was somebody on the side who had run that race, they would know what to say." (37:52) * "So if you want to coach your teach, teach and coach what you've experienced, what you have emotional experience on, and then the person will get that you get them. And there's nothing like that. " (38:18) *Hiring for your weaknesses* * “So I'm a big picture, high D go hard, go quick. Uh, don't like to details... you surround yourself with people that can do what you can't do." (39:13) * "... find out who you are and delegate to your weaknesses." (42:16) *People try to be the lone wolf* * "I was all about being, um, alone, because I was afraid to admit that I didn't know" (43:31) * "... we don't apologize for being awesome. Which means that you actually get to celebrate your greatness without somebody shaming you or making you feel bad because you're there, they're not playing full out and you also get to ask for help. And that's really difficult for most people." (44:02) *Say yes and figure it out later* * "Too many people hesitate, waiting to learn the how, and they give up on the opportunity." (47:30) * "It doesn't matter what you're going through. You're going to have a voice that says, you know, do I deserve to be in this room? Um, am I smart enough? Am I good enough? That's just your ego. That's just fear based thinking... say yes to things that are bigger than you. And then you're forced to grow." (47:56) *Quotes and Advice from our host and guest:* * "…when we all grew up were given labels, they're suggestions from other people, and they are many times not designed to empower us, but more to control us or disempower us. " - Rock, (05:06) * "Everything was an opportunity for you to create a new neuro connection of possibility... How can you enjoy the moment?" - Rock, (07:56) * "Pay attention. Be aware, add value, push, bring your energy. Show up. Be playful. Serve the world will respond to that because it's desperately looking for people like that." - Rock, (14:49) * "if an entrepreneur needs encouragement, they shouldn't be an entrepreneur." - Elon Musk, (15:50) * "This is if you don't know your vision or right now, you don't feel like you have a vision, surround yourself with other people who do and borrow theirs until you get your own" - Casanova, (18:21) * " I want to be around bad asses and I got fired up and I got inspired and I started to chase and chase and chase. It took me four years, but I became the number one agent in that office. And then I bought the company and I took it from 300,000,094 agents to 275 agents." – Rock, (19:24) * " You can do whatever you want. You can bring your energy, your love, your playfulness, and you would at least have a connection. Maybe you would fail miserably. But, you'd never freaking forget it. " - Rock, (28:11) * "the two most important days in your life is when you're born and when you figure out why?" - Mark Twain, (41:06) * " So the money game is complex and if you're going it alone and you're making decisions like I did listening to your broke friends, it's going to be a long path." – Rock, (45:20) * " You're smarter than you think you're more capable than you then, you know, you're stronger.

Are you still trading time for money?If you answered yes to that question then it may be time to start thinking about creating passive income so you can get out of the rat race and start living an epic life.We all know businesses are a great way to generate passive income, yet there is one business that is, in my opinion, severely overlooked and highly underutilized. That business? Selling products on Amazon.Stephen started out working in the Mental Health Commission in Ireland. It was a low-paying job and he wanted more from life. He spent most of his days Googling "how to make money online," and encountered just about every scam out there. One day he took his very minimal savings and quit after discovering the effectiveness of selling products online globally through Amazon. Stephen and his business partner since co-founded Marketplace SuperHeroes, an online education, and services company that helps people all over the world learn how to sell their own products globally on Amazon from scratch. Marketplace SuperHeroes is now an 8 figure business and has also helped over 7,000 people to create multiple income streams online. They are five-time Two-comma Club award winners from Clickfunnels and Clickbank Platinum Partners. In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Stephen and I discuss how he went from googling “how to make money online” to having an 8-figure business, the issues that most amazon retailers face and how he avoids them, and why it’s better to sell an accessory item than it is to sell the main product

Wouldn’t you rather work because you WANT to? Not because you have to? In my mastermind, M1, I always teach my new students how to create financial freedom by using passive income vehicles so they no longer have to trade time for money.I’ve said this to my students before, and I’ll say it a million times more, the #1 BEST way to create passive income is through Real Estate.

He truly believes that you don’t have to suffer, you don’t have to hurt, and you CAN create your EPIC life.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Kris and I discuss why he decided to use real estate as his primary passive income vehicle, why most people won’t be successful, and why you need to be looking for a home to invest in, not a home to live in.

Close your eyes and think about the thing you want more than anything in the world. Now imagine that everything you encounter is trying to stop you from getting it. You fail twice, ten times, fifty times, but each attempt gets you one step closer to that goal. Now ask yourself, “Do I have what it takes to be the world’s greatest and make it happen, no matter what?”Kyle Wilson has worked with the top names in the personal development industry including his 18-year business partner, friend, and mentor Jim Rohn, as well as Og Mandino, Brian Tracy, Les Brown, Darren Hardy, Robin Sharma, Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Canfield, and found that each and every one of them share one very important trait - persistence.When life stepped in their way, when they failed, when the world turned its back on these individuals, they got back up and started again. Kyle has filled huge seminar rooms, launched and published multiple personal development publications with over a million subscribers, and has produced/published over 100+ hours ofDVD and CD programs.He now does high-end coaching & consulting, hosts the Kyle Wilson Inner Circle Mastermind, and has helped over 200 people became #1 Best Selling Published Authors, hitting multiple #1 Best Selling books.In this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life, Kyle and I discuss why he decided to take 7 years off, why it is way more beneficial growing your following organically than it is buying them, and why so many people can’t seem to make any progress.
