Ross Stryker is the founder and CEO of Smart Asset Opportunities, which helps educate busy small business owners how to take charge of their own financial freedom and stop giving up control to those on Wall Street. He practiced dentistry and specialized in orthodontics for over 35 years, 12 while serving in the U.S. Army reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and later in private practice where he grew one of the largest single-doctor practices in the country. Although Ross is no longer practicing, he still considers himself a part of the dental and medical community. At heart, he’s really a small business owner, and, like many business owners, Ross was frustrated with the conventional financial system that seemed to benefit Wall Street but not the investors. Ross has replaced his transactional income of exchanging hours for dollars with passive income from his investments for his livelihood, and he wants to help others achieve the same goal. Ross has owned 40 or more single-family homes, written 2 books, one specifically on real estate investing. Ross is selling his homes, and he’s transitioning into commercial real estate investing, which includes self-storage, mobile home parks, office parks, a coffee farm in Panama, a resort in Belize, and multifamily apartment complexes.
After 12 years serving in the military and over 20 years running a successful private practice, Ross Stryker realized if he didn't alter his course he'd be trading hours for dollars forever. It was this belief that led him to launch Smart Asset Opportunities. He's helped raise almost $100 million in total costs and owns 40+ single-family homes, 14 ATM's, a coffee farm in Panama, apartment complexes, office parks, storage units, and ownership in a Belizean resort. Ross is living proof that your money is better off of Wall Street, and you can achieve financial freedom. What you'll learn about in this episode: How Ross made the transition from being an orthodontist to real estate investing Why the real estate market doesn't actually exist The way Ross structures his team and where the profit centers are How Ross justifies the notion that your home isn't an investment The role of a deal syndicator and what they do Why self-storage is a smart investment The truth about recession-resistant investments Additional resources from Ross Stryker: Website: https://www.smartassetopportunities.com/ Twitter: @SmartAssetOppt

Before anyone sets out to find financial freedom, they need to understand what that term means to them, as it is different for everyone. This definition can depend on your financial goals, both now and in the future. Do you want to retire or keep working? Do you want to travel? The financial strategies for each can be different, and it is better to know that now rather than later. That’s why in this episode of the podcast I talk with Ross Stryker, the CEO of Smart Asset Opportunities to get his thoughts on defining financial freedom, “Finding Your Why,” and making the right plan for it now.
If living quietly and within the confines of a strict budget sounds like your dream plan, you probably don't want to listen to this episode.

Ross is living proof that in this country you can have more than one version of your dream life, and live those dreams fully throughout your life. Listen in as Ross Stryker talks about how he learned to make his money work for him, and how he's living his new purpose by helping others do the same. He shares how he made bold moves to live bigger and increase his impact on others, instead of fading into retirement, and how you can set yourself up to do the same. Whether you are just starting out in business, or approaching retirement, or living off savings, Ross Stryker's story has lessons you can apply to build your own success at any age.

Just four years after his “awakening,” Ross’s investments and passive real estate income streams have surpassed his former transactional income (i.e. hours for dollars). With over $2.5 million out in total commercial project loans, Ross has an eye for tangible assets that have a proven tax advantage, high returns, and allow for stable, continuous cash flow. Ross shares his wealth of real estate knowledge in a weekly blog and in his two books. To be an SAO investor is to understand your “why,” beyond extra zeros in your bank account. For Ross, it’s sharing everything he knows, so that others may find their own financial success and freedom. When he’s not working on real estate deals, you might find him boating with Robert Kiyosaki, better known as Rich Dad Poor Dad.

Ross Stryker, CEO of Smart Asset Opportunities, is the poster child for taking control of your life and financial destiny. In fact, just 4 years after he made a shift from typical thinking to investing in cash-flowing assets, he achieved financial freedom. He was liberated by the power of his choices. His key decisions to direct his mindset and investing strategy are what made all the difference for him. His story proves that financial freedom is possible for you too. Ross Stryker models the way and offers a hand up to anyone who would like to follow. He's now helping others create financial freedom through alternative investments, real estate, and cash flow. Where Mindset and Investing Fit into the Cash Flow System We often talk about mindset. Every action you take has its roots in your thinking. Therefore, your mindset is the initiation, hinge, and critical entry point to building time and money freedom. But you don't build something great just with your mind. You must take action towards your goal. Finding the right investments is one of those action steps. It's how you create financial freedom with cash flow from assets. As you can see, both your mindset and your investing strategy are just two steps in the bigger journey to time and money freedom. Our 3-step Entrepreneur's Cash Flow System first helps you keep more of the money you make. From cultivating the right mindset to strategic moves in tax planning, debt restructuring, cash flow awareness, and restructuring your savings to where you can access it as an emergency/opportunity fund, this step frees up and increases your cash flow, so you have more to invest. Then, you'll protect your money with insurance and legal protection, and Privatized Banking. Finally, you'll put your money to work and get it to make more by investing in cash-flowing assets. This empowers you to build time and money freedom and leave a rich legacy. Who Is Ross Stryker, of Smart Asset Opportunities?

Today's guest is an expert on Smart Investments, he is the creator and founder of the Smart Asset Opportunities After 12 years serving in the military and over 20 years running a successful private practice, he realized if he didn't alter his course he'd be trading hours for dollars forever. It was this belief that led him to launch Smart Asset Opportunities. In just four years, he has been involved in projects totaling over $100 million, and owns 40+ single family homes, 14 ATM's, a coffee farm in Panama, apartment complexes, office parks, storage units, and ownership in a Belizean resort. As he says "After over 20 years of running a successful small business in rural Missouri, we seemingly “woke up” to the realization we were not on the path to a comfortable retirement, a course of not knowing when we would be able to transition out of the business. We truly did not have a plan to replace our transactional income – the exchanging of our hours for dollars. We needed some Smart Investments for sure. Truthfully, we felt stuck. Fast forward two years and our passive income from our investment endeavors has exceeded that of our practice income. The driving factor of this change was our mindset; we took control of our lives, our future and decided financial freedom doesn't have just one path. We surrounded ourselves with like-minded individuals on the same journey and with the same aspirations. We sought out opportunities to learn more and partner with others in lucrative joint ventures. We understood our WHY and became intentional about taking action. These days we are dedicated to our new passion: helping others achieve their success. It is far more rewarding, interesting and exciting than lounging around on a beach, and we're enjoying every second of it. Our WHY is to help others find their path to the financial freedom we found with their own Smart Investments. So it's ok to say, let's change direction and do something different but how do you upskill and make these changes occur? And is it still fun and exciting to be building what they have, or getting more and more like a job? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr. Ross Stryker. Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Ross Stryker such as: We share the dawning realisation when he realised that his retirement was not going to be as comfortable as he and his wife hoped and the actions he then took. Why it is so important to start surrounding yourself with the kind of people that you want to become in your life. Dont look for less but look higher up the ladder. Ross shares why he loves, what he is doing for the reasons because it was hard, more than anything else. It's the challenge that lights him up inside. and lastly…. Why we can learn from other peoples mistakes, much more cheaply and quickly than we can hope to do ourselves. So study other peoples route to success.
Our guest, Ross Stryker, has been in dental practice for 21 years after serving in the military. He shares his story of finding Freedom Founders and what he has learned during 14 months in the program. The most important benefit of Freedom Founders, according to Ross?
