Today, Eric dives into the importance of self-care and focusing on mental health, particularly during times of uncertainty.  Stay tuned as Eric shares practical ways to remain grounded and support your well-being, even when things feel unpredictable. A Late-Night Emergency in Sardinia While organizing a sales meeting for a medical device company in Sardinia, Eric experienced a powerful reminder of why health must come first. In the early morning, as his team was wrapping up video edits for a final presentation, he found a man lying unconscious with blood coming from his head. The man had fallen and hit the corner of a table. Acting Quickly—Even Against Protocol Eric contacted the head of the company, who happened to be a trained nurse practitioner. She warned that moving the man could be risky, but leaving him could be worse. When the hotel insisted on following procedure before calling a doctor, Eric bypassed protocol. He contacted his local partner, who helped him find an ambulance meant for another injured guest and had the man transferred to the hospital. The next evening, the man was back at the bar with a bandage on his head. He had just had too much to drink the night before. The Lesson: Take Ownership of Your Health That incident reinforced something Eric believes firmly: if you fail to take care of yourself, no one else will. In uncertain times, the only thing we can truly control is how we show up for ourselves. We may not be able to influence global events, but we can impact our health, mindset, and those around us. Making Health Your Priority Even though most people know what to do to stay healthy, when under stress, those habits tend to slip away. So, Eric encourages us to follow a morning routine that involves meditation, exercise, or writing. He reminds us that the challenge is not about knowledge. It is about making your health a consistent priority. Start with One Hour a Day In an unpredictable world, a daily routine can provide stability. Eric encourages everyone to block one hour each morning, even if it means waking up an hour earlier, and do whatever you can to support your well-being. That could be meditating, moving, reading, or writing. Eric reminds us that the best way to help others is by taking care of yourself first.

* Banks at Risk: Nearly 100 Staff Logins Stolen by Cybercriminals* 'AirBorne' Vulnerabilities Expose Apple Devices to Remote Code Execution Attacks* WhatsApp Introduces 'Private Processing' for Secure Cloud-Based AI Features* Microsoft Warns Default Kubernetes Helm Charts Create Security Vulnerabilities* Security Concerns Grow Over Electric Vehicles as Potential Surveillance PlatformsBanks at Risk: Nearly 100 Staff Logins Stolen by Cybercriminalshttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-01/bank-employee-data-stolen-with-malware-and-sold-online/105232872Cyber criminals have stolen almost 100 staff logins from Australia's "Big Four" banks, potentially exposing these financial institutions to serious cyber threats including data theft and ransomware attacks, according to recent findings from cyber intelligence firm Hudson Rock.The compromised credentials belong to current and former employees and contractors at ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, NAB, and Westpac, with ANZ and Commonwealth Bank experiencing the highest number of breaches. All stolen credentials included corporate email addresses with access to official bank domains."There are around 100 compromised employees that are related to those four banks," said Hudson Rock analyst Leonid Rozenberg. While this number is significantly smaller than the 31,000 customer banking passwords recently reported stolen, the security implications could be more severe."Technically, [attackers] need only one [login] to do a lot of damage," Rozenberg warned.The credentials were stolen between 2021 and April 2025 using specialized "infostealer" malware designed to harvest sensitive data from infected devices. These stolen credentials have subsequently appeared on Telegram and dark web marketplaces.Security experts explain that these breaches could potentially give hackers "initial access" to the banks' corporate networks. While banks employ additional security measures such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), specialized cybercriminals known as "initial access brokers" focus on finding ways around these protections, often targeting employees working from home.The investigation also uncovered a concerning number of compromised third-party service credentials connected to these banks, with ANZ having more than 100 such breaches and NAB more than 70. These compromised services could include critical communication and project management tools like Slack, JIRA, and Salesforce.All four banks have responded by stating they have multiple safeguards in place to prevent unauthorized access. NAB reports actively scanning cybercrime forums to monitor threats, while CommBank noted investing over $800 million in cybersecurity and financial crime prevention last financial year.The Australian Signals Directorate has already warned that infostealer infections have led to successful attacks on Australian businesses, highlighting that this threat extends beyond the banking sector to organizations across all industries.'AirBorne' Vulnerabilities Expose Apple Devices to Remote Code Execution Attackshttps://www.oligo.security/blog/airborneSecurity researchers at Oligo Security have uncovered a serious set of vulnerabilities in Apple's AirPlay protocol and software development kit (SDK) that could allow attackers to remotely execute code on affected devices without user interaction. These flaws, collectively dubbed "AirBorne," affect millions of Apple and third-party devices worldwide.The security team discovered 23 distinct vulnerabilities that enable various attack vectors, including zero-click and one-click remote code execution, man-in-the-middle attacks, denial of service attacks, and unauthorized access to sensitive information. Perhaps most concerning are two specific flaws (CVE-2025-24252 and CVE-2025-24132) that researchers demonstrated could create "wormable" zero-click attacks, potentially spreading from device to device across networks.Another critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-24206) enables attackers to bypass the "Accept" prompt normally required for AirPlay connections, creating a pathway for truly zero-interaction compromises when combined with other flaws."This means that an attacker can take over certain AirPlay-enabled devices and do things like deploy malware that spreads to devices on any local network the infected device connects to," warned Oligo. "This could lead to the delivery of other sophisticated attacks related to espionage, ransomware, supply-chain attacks, and more."While exploitation is limited to attackers on the same network as vulnerable devices, the potential impact is extensive. Apple reports over 2.35 billion active devices worldwide, and Oligo estimates tens of millions of additional third-party AirPlay-compatible products like speakers, TVs, and car infotainment systems could be affected.Apple released security updates on March 31 to address these vulnerabilities across their product line, including patches for iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, macOS versions (Ventura 13.7.5, Sonoma 14.7.5, and Sequoia 15.4), and visionOS 2.4 for Apple Vision Pro. The company also updated the AirPlay audio and video SDKs and the CarPlay Communication Plug-in.Security experts strongly advise all users to immediately update their Apple devices and any third-party AirPlay-enabled products. Additional protective measures include disabling AirPlay receivers when not in use, restricting AirPlay access to trusted devices via firewall rules, and limiting AirPlay permissions to the current user only.WhatsApp Introduces 'Private Processing' for Secure Cloud-Based AI Featureshttps://engineering.fb.com/2025/04/29/security/whatsapp-private-processing-ai-tools/Meta's WhatsApp has announced a new privacy-focused technology called 'Private Processing' that will allow users to access advanced artificial intelligence features while maintaining data security. The system is designed to enable AI functionalities like message summarization and writing suggestions that are too computationally intensive to run directly on users' devices.The new feature, which will be rolled out gradually over the coming weeks, will be entirely opt-in and disabled by default, giving users complete control over when their data leaves their device for AI processing.Private Processing employs several layers of security to protect user privacy. When activated, the system first performs anonymous authentication through the user's WhatsApp client. It then retrieves public encryption keys from a third-party content delivery network (CDN), ensuring Meta cannot trace requests back to specific individuals.To further enhance privacy, users' devices connect to Meta's gateway through a third-party relay that masks their real IP addresses. The connection establishes a secure session between the user's device and Meta's Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), using remote attestation and TLS protocols.All requests for AI processing use end-to-end encryption with ephemeral keys, and the processing occurs inside a Confidential Virtual Machine (CVM) that remains isolated from Meta's main systems. According to Meta, the processing environment is stateless, with all messages deleted after processing, retaining only "non-sensitive" logs."The AI-generated response is encrypted with a unique key only known to the device and processing CVM and is sent back over the secure session for decryption on the user's device," the company explained.To build trust in the system, WhatsApp has promised to share the CVM binary and portions of the source code for external validation. The company also plans to publish a detailed white paper explaining the secure design principles behind Private Processing.Despite these security measures, privacy experts note that sending sensitive data to cloud servers always carries some inherent risk, even with robust encryption in place. Users concerned about data privacy can either keep the feature disabled or utilize WhatsApp's recently launched 'Advanced Chat Privacy' feature, which provides more granular control over when data can leave the device.Microsoft Warns Default Kubernetes Helm Charts Create Security Vulnerabilitieshttps://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoftdefendercloudblog/the-risk-of-default-configuration-how-out-of-the-box-helm-charts-can-breach-your/4409560Microsoft security researchers have issued an urgent warning about significant security risks posed by default configurations in Kubernetes deployments, particularly when using out-of-the-box Helm charts. These configurations can inadvertently expose sensitive data to the public internet without proper authentication protections.According to a new report from Michael Katchinskiy and Yossi Weizman of Microsoft Defender for Cloud Research, many popular Helm charts lack basic security measures, often leaving exploitable ports open and implementing weak or hardcoded passwords that are easy to compromise."Default configurations that lack proper security controls create a severe security threat," the Microsoft researchers warn. "Without carefully reviewing the YAML manifests and Helm charts, organizations may unknowingly deploy services lacking any form of protection, leaving them fully exposed to attackers."Kubernetes has become a widely adopted open-source platform for automating containerized application deployment and management, with Helm serving as its package manager. Helm charts function as templates or blueprints that define resources needed to run applications through YAML files. While these charts offer convenience by simplifying complex deployments, their default settings often prioritize ease of use over security.The report highlights three specific examples demonstrating this widespread issue. Apache Pinot's Helm chart exposes core services through Kubernetes LoadBalancer services with no authentication requirements. Meshery allows public sign-up from exposed IP addresses, potentially giving anyone registration access to cluster operations. Meanwhile, Selenium Grid exposes services across all nodes in a cluster through NodePort, relying solely on external firewall rules for protection.The Selenium Grid vulnerability is particularly concerning as cybersecurity firms including Wiz have already observed attacks targeting misconfigured instances to deploy XMRig miners for cryptocurrency mining.Organizations using Kubernetes are advised to implement several key mitigation strategies. Microsoft recommends thoroughly reviewing default configurations of Helm charts before deployment, ensuring they include proper authentication mechanisms and network isolation. Regular scans for misconfigurations that might publicly expose workload interfaces are crucial, as is continuous monitoring of containers for suspicious activity.The findings underscore a critical tension in cloud deployment between convenience and security, with many users — particularly those inexperienced with cloud security — inadvertently creating vulnerabilities by deploying charts without customizing their security settings.Security Concerns Grow Over Electric Vehicles as Potential Surveillance Platformshttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/29/source-of-data-are-electric-cars-vulnerable-to-cyber-spies-and-hackersCybersecurity experts are raising alarms about the potential for electric vehicles to be exploited as surveillance tools, particularly those manufactured in China, according to recent reports from the UK.British defense firms working with the UK government have reportedly warned staff against connecting their phones to Chinese-made electric cars due to concerns that Beijing could extract sensitive information from their devices. The warning highlights growing security considerations around the increasingly sophisticated technology embedded in modern electric vehicles.Security specialists interviewed by The Guardian note that electric vehicles are equipped with multiple data collection points, including microphones, cameras, and wireless connectivity features that could potentially be leveraged by malicious actors or hostile states."There are lots of opportunities to collect data and therefore lots of opportunities to compromise a vehicle like that," explains Rafe Pilling, director of threat intelligence at cybersecurity firm Secureworks. He points out that over-the-air update capabilities, which allow manufacturers to remotely update a car's operating software, could potentially be used to exfiltrate data.The concerns are particularly focused on individuals in sensitive positions. "If you are an engineer who is working on a sixth-generation fighter jet and you have a work phone that you are connecting to your personal vehicle, you need to be aware that by connecting these devices you could be allowing access to data on your mobile," warns Joseph Jarnecki, a research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute.Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers such as BYD and XPeng have drawn particular scrutiny due to China's National Intelligence Law of 2017, which requires organizations and citizens to cooperate with national intelligence efforts. However, experts also note there is currently no public evidence of Chinese vehicles being used for espionage.Cybersecurity professionals suggest that concerned drivers can click "don't trust" when connecting devices to their vehicles, but this sacrifices many convenient features. They also caution against syncing personal devices with rental cars, as this can leave sensitive data in the vehicle's systems.The UK government has acknowledged the issue, with Defence Minister Lord Coaker stating they are "working with other government departments to understand and mitigate any potential threats to national security from vehicles." He emphasized that their work applies to all types of vehicles, not just those manufactured in China.While the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) maintains that all manufacturers selling cars in the UK must adhere to data privacy regulations, the growing integration of connected technologies in electric vehicles continues to raise new security considerations for both government officials and everyday consumers alike.

In times of uncertainty, like we are facing now, small business owners must stay focused and be proactive.  Today, Eric shares three of his tried and tested strategies for helping small business owners remain steady during times of uncertainty within the industry. Stay tuned to learn how to turn uncertainty into opportunity with three proven strategies to keep your business moving forward in unpredictable times. 1. Review Your Finances Start by examining every expense in your business, line by line. Go through all your credit card statements and monthly charges, especially those auto-pay items you may have forgotten. Cancel anything that is not essential. Then, take a broader look at your fixed costs and plan to adjust if your revenue drops.  Being prepared now can help you avoid making tough decisions later.  2. Reconnect with Clients and Prospects Now is the time to be visible and proactive. Many people pull back during uncertain times, but staying in touch with your clients and prospects will set you apart. Check in with your clients, reach out, and start conversations with them. Even if there is no possibility of immediate business, showing genuine interest in clients or potential prospects will strengthen your relationships. 3. Tackle Whatever You Have Been Avoiding Focus on everything you have meant to do but have not done. Whether you update your business model, learn a new skill, or explore new services, take advantage of the slower pace and reflect on how you can apply your experience in new ways. Keep on looking for opportunities you may have overlooked.

The Business of Meetings – Episode 262 - The Power of Boundaries: Managing Teams and Clients Effectively with Eric Rozenberg Today, Eric shares his insights on setting boundaries with clients and within teams.   In this episode, he highlights examples of how boundaries impact business interactions, leadership, and workplace culture. Setting Boundaries with Clients Establishing boundaries with clients ensures professionalism and prevents burnout. Eric shares an example of a coaching client who declined a weekend meeting request from a prospect, reinforcing her limits. A more flexible approach could involve making an exception but ensuring it should not become the norm. Recognizing when a client repeatedly disregards boundaries is crucial, as it may signal a lack of respect for professional and personal time. Ultimately, business owners must define their availability based on their values and long-term goals. Work-Life Integration Over Balance Business owners must establish boundaries that create a sustainable work environment aligned with their values. Eric believes in work-life integration rather than strict balance. He suggests time-blocking to manage personal and professional commitments.  Setting Boundaries with a Team A strong company culture relies on clear expectations. Eric avoids evening and weekend calls and uses send later for emails to prevent after-hours disruptions. However, in true business emergencies, exceptions may be necessary. Generational Shifts in Work Expectations Workplace priorities have evolved. Eric recalls interviewing a trainee who asked about work-life balance, something older generations never considered and previous generations hesitated to address. Today, professionals expect clear boundaries and value companies that respect them.  Emergency Situations: When Boundaries Shift Boundaries should be clear, but they must be adaptable when necessary. Eric avoids interrupting personal time. However, urgent situations require flexibility.  Final Thoughts Setting and maintaining boundaries is crucial for long-term business success. Entrepreneurs must align their boundaries with business values to ensure professional growth and personal well-being, as limits foster respect and set the foundation for a sustainable and effective work environment.

Would you like to know how to create a truly unforgettable business experience? Today, Eric explores the power of engagement and explains how to design unique experiences, sharing insights from an inspiring conference and an example of a past touchpoint that left a lasting impact.  Stay tuned for valuable strategies to enhance your engagement and create unforgettable experiences. Focusing on What Never Changes Jeff Bezos focuses on what remains constant because Amazon customers always want lower prices and faster delivery. Applying that to the meetings and events industry, Eric identifies two unchanging factors- the need for in-person gatherings, as nothing replaces human connection, and the demand for unique experiences, as people constantly seek unforgettable one-of-a-kind moments. Examples of Unique Experiences Eric has organized events in over 50 countries, creating exceptional experiences that people will never forget. A standout example is the 1998 FIFA World Cup, where he ensured his clients had premium tickets, even amid the chaos of ticket fraud. The highlight was a Three Tenors concert under the Eiffel Tower. Another remarkable event he designed was a unique dining experience across multiple hotel locations. Insights from the MMT Mastermind Conference Eric recently attended his favorite annual conference, the MMT Mastermind Talk, founded by Jason Gaignard. This event is exceptional due to its year-round engagement, ensuring attendees stay connected beyond the conference. Personalized seating based on in-depth intake forms fosters meaningful conversations, while a carefully curated agenda balances inspiring keynotes with interactive sessions. The conference also offers abundant networking opportunities, leaving participants feeling deeply connected, motivated, and eager to return year after year. Key Takeaways for Business Owners Eric highlights the importance of being intentional about designing engagement. By curating thoughtful touchpoints and creating exclusive experiences, businesses can forge deep connections and ensure long-term success. He encourages business owners to break free from the cycle of short-term projects and focus on building sustainable, thriving enterprises.

How can you consistently delight your customers while also providing exceptional value? In business, relationships are everything. Companies prioritizing customer delight set themselves apart, creating lasting impressions and strong customer loyalty.  Stay tuned as Eric shares practical insights and examples to help you surprise, delight, and elevate your customer interactions. The Power of Small, Thoughtful Gestures The answer to delighting customers lies in making personal yet meaningful connections. A memorable experience might come from a simple, thoughtful action. For instance, Eric recalls how a small gesture when traveling– a message about his favorite TV show being available in his hotel room, left him with a lasting impression, proving that even a small effort can make customers feel special. Identifying and Improving TouchPoints To truly delight customers, you need to analyze every interaction with them. Mapping out the touch points throughout the entire customer journey allows you to gain insight into potential areas of improvement. By asking, "What could I have done differently?" business owners can uncover opportunities to surprise their customers, enhance their experiences, and exceed their expectations. Surprising Customers with the Unexpected Routine gestures, like sending a Christmas card, might be well-intentioned but fail to stand out. To make a lasting impression, surprise your customers with something unexpected, like recognizing a personal milestone or commemorating a specific event in their company. That can make a big difference, as those thoughtful touches demonstrate your attention to detail and show your customers that you value them.   Leveraging Expertise for Strategic Value Customer delight also comes from using your expertise to provide additional value. By aligning your services with your customers' goals and strategies, you can shift from being a service provider to becoming their strategic partner.  Customers will appreciate your proactive approach and genuine desire to support their success, and that will strengthen their relationship and build trust. Tough Love and Assertive Support Sometimes, you need to be assertive to help your customers. Offering honest feedback and sharing your expertise, even when that feels difficult, shows that you have their best interests at heart. Taking the initiative to speak up when necessary, even if it means pointing out potential issues, demonstrates your commitment and reliability, which can deepen their trust and improve future outcomes.

Running a business of your own is not for the faint-hearted.  To be successfully self-employed, business owners must develop the resilience to stress most people find overwhelming.  Stay tuned to learn about mindset shifts entrepreneurs need to make to grow successful businesses. Adaptability is Essential Entrepreneurs must be willing to change and adapt if they want to be successful. Sticking to old, familiar methods can lead to stagnation, so they must embrace new ways of thinking, working, and problem-solving to stay competitive and grow their businesses. A Long-Term Vision Provides Stability Entrepreneurship is like a roller coaster. A clear, long-term vision helps business owners stay grounded and focused during challenging times. Regularly revisiting their ultimate goal will allow entrepreneurs to navigate obstacles with more resilience and ensure that their short-term struggles do not derail their long-term success. Confidence Over Comparison Imposter syndrome can lead even the most accomplished professionals to doubt their abilities. Rather than comparing themselves to others, business owners should focus on their journeys, achievements, and progress. Defining success through their values rather than external benchmarks gives business owners a far more fulfilling and sustainable business experience. Building the Right Team No entrepreneur has ever succeeded alone. Delegation is crucial for growth, so business owners need to trust their teams to handle responsibilities effectively. Empowering others gives business owners time to focus on areas where they can add the most value. So, even if employees fail to execute tasks just as you, the business owner, would, what ultimately matters is client satisfaction and overall business progress.  Success is Personal In a world that glorifies billion-dollar startups, it is easy to feel that small-scale success is not enough. However, the reality is that the vast majority of businesses operate on a much smaller scale. Success is about creating something meaningful and sustainable. So, instead of measuring their success through revenue alone, entrepreneurs should focus on building businesses that align with their goals, values, and desired lifestyle.  Final Thought Eric reminds business owners that to be successfully self-employed, they need to get comfortable with stress levels that would destroy most others.  Embracing challenge, change, and uncertainty is part of the entrepreneurial journey. So, keep working on your business, trust the process, and develop a mindset to support your continued success. Connect with Eric Rozenberg On LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Website  

Do your company values genuinely shape the way you run your business? Today, Eric dives into how to build a company culture to align with the values of your business and ensure they determine how you operate within your business.  Join us to learn the significance of upholding your company values, even when it involves making difficult choices or sacrificing some revenue. Turning Down Business for Ethical Reasons Eric begins by sharing three stories to illustrate the importance of sticking to the core values of a business.  In the first story, he faced a dilemma when a major pharmaceutical client wanted to hold a sales meeting in Vienna just as a controversial political leader had taken power in Austria. Despite needing the business, Eric stood by his principles and refused to organize the event. After discussing his concerns with his client, he was allowed to keep their business and chose a different destination.  Looking back, Eric realizes he could also have accepted the job and donated some of the revenue to an organization opposing that ideology. Quality Over Cost In another story, Eric lost a bid because his pricing was too high for a senior project, even though it aligned with industry standards. Months later, the same company was dissatisfied with their chosen provider and asked him to step in for a critical sales meeting. Eric and his team worked all night to deliver an exceptional event. However, when it was time to discuss future projects, the procurement officer insisted on a 30% fee reduction. Refusing to undervalue his work, Eric walked away from the deal. He learned later that the company dismissed the procurement officer. Letting Go of a Toxic Team Member Eric had to make a tough personnel decision when a project manager he knew personally before hiring her turned out to be toxic to the team. She often criticized others and fostered a negative atmosphere. So Eric let her go, even though she was highly skilled, prioritizing company culture over individual talent. The immediate improvement in team morale confirmed that he had made the right choice. Defining and Living by Company Values For all business owners, establishing values is the key to guiding their choices regarding clients, vendors, hiring, and overall company culture. Business owners build a foundation for long-term success and sustainable growth when their values have been well-defined and consistently applied.

The Business of Meetings – Episode 256: Own Your Success: How to Stay Accountable and Get Results with Eric Rozenberg Today, Eric dives into the importance of accountability in achieving success.  Drawing from his past experiences, he highlights the transformative power of accountability in driving exceptional results. Example from Student Days: Planning vs. Execution There is a huge difference between creating a study plan and executing a study plan with accountability. To illustrate the importance of staying committed to goals despite external temptations, Eric shares a personal anecdote from his student days in Belgium, explaining how he planned for his exams meticulously but still got distracted by a tennis championship. Leadership at ISEC: Board Accountability Eric learned the value of accountability through regular board meetings in his leadership role at ISEC. Working with an advisory board of senior executives from Fortune 100 companies, he and his team were tasked with presenting updates on their progress, addressing challenges, and aligning their efforts with the goals of the organization. Knowing that he had to answer to various high-level stakeholders, the quarterly meetings motivated him to stay focused and deliver results, reinforcing the importance of continuous self-assessment and course correction in achieving success. Business Leadership: Advisory Boards and Self-Accountability Eric applied the lessons he learned at ISEC about accountability to his entrepreneurial journey in his quarterly meetings with advisors, industry experts, and professionals from unrelated fields. Through those regular meetings and openly sharing his successes and challenges, he ensured that he remained focused on his goals and made informed decisions. That strengthened his businesses and highlighted the importance of transparency and external perspectives in maintaining accountability and driving growth.

The Business of Meetings – Episode 248 Unlocking Success: The 5 Essentials You Need for 2025 with Eric Rozenberg  As the year draws toward a close, Eric shares five essential aspects you need to consider to set yourself up for success in the coming year.  Join us as Eric dives into a mix of visionary ideas and concrete steps that you can implement immediately to ensure next year is your best year ever! 1. Define Your Long-Term Vision The foundation of success begins with a clear long-term vision. Consider why you started your business and what you want to achieve over the next 10 years. Your vision is your guiding light in the inevitable ups and downs you will experience as an entrepreneur. Even though team issues, unexpected crises, or technical glitches will likely arise, having a written vision will help you stay grounded. Review it every six months and use it as a compass during tough times. Remember, your long-term vision is not just for next year. It is your North Star for the entire journey you have ahead. 2. Set Clear and Measurable Objectives Translate your vision into actionable, measurable objectives for the next 12 months. Goals, whether they are sales targets or strategic implementations, are there to guide your focus and energy. Be ambitious yet realistic. Aim for goals that stretch your capabilities without overwhelming your resources. Review and refine your objectives quarterly, and involve your team in your process. Sharing clear objectives ensures everyone understands their role and prevents distractions from derailing progress. Let your goals serve as a filter for prioritizing activities and staying on track. 3. Create Your Ideal Week Map out your schedule, blocking time for family, personal health, and key business responsibilities. Life is unpredictable, so always allow some flexibility for unforeseen events. A visual plan will help you focus on what truly matters without overloading your days. Translate your ideal week into your calendar and commit to tasks like daily sales outreach. Remember, success lies in deliberate time management and ensuring that everything that matters gets done. 4. Master the Sales Process Sales is the lifeblood of any business, and success requires systems and consistency. Develop a sales playbook that includes your pitch, common objections, scripts, and processes. Implement a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system to track interactions and commitments. A well-defined sales process will ensure you and your team operate effectively. Block dedicated time for sales activities in your calendar and review progress regularly. When you implement the right tools and processes, your sales efforts will consistently yield results. 5. Prioritizing Your Accountability Accountability is the glue that holds a plan together. Having an accountability buddy like a coach or a peer group or having someone to hold you responsible will ensure your consistent progress. Set weekly check-ins to review your commitments and plan upcoming actions. Remember that accountability fosters focus, forces follow-through, and keeps you aligned with your goals. It is a simple yet powerful tool for turning your plans into results. Final Thoughts To set yourself up for success next year, focus on a clear long-term vision, measurable objectives, an ideal week, a structured sales process, and accountability. By implementing those strategies, you will move from scattered efforts to a thriving, purposeful business. Connect with Eric Rozenberg On LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Website

Did you know that asking the right questions can significantly enhance your understanding of your meeting attendees and clients and the challenges they face?  Today, Eric focuses on formulating insightful queries to uncover the specific difficulties your clients and attendees encounter in their business lives, enabling you to position yourself better as a strategic partner and offer them more assistance. Stay tuned for Eric's insights and expert advice. Better Positioning Through Effective Questioning Positioning yourself more effectively through questioning involves asking insightful, strategic questions beyond logistics alone. Inquiring about your clients' core challenges, goals, and desired outcomes will allow you to demonstrate a deeper level of engagement and expertise, shifting your role from a service provider to a strategic partner. So, instead of asking only basic questions about numbers and logistics, delve into the broader context of their industry challenges and objectives. That will help you tailor solutions aligned with their needs and will help establish you as someone invested in their success. Real-Life Example: Insurance Company Incentive Trip Eric shares an example from his book, Meeting at C-Level, to illustrate the power of asking the right questions. An insurance company wanted an incentive trip to New York. Instead of just taking the order, Eric spent five minutes asking about their challenges and learned they had three generations working together and a mix of long-term and new employees. So he created a program to address those challenges, including a unique music studio experience that brought all the different generations together, helping them to create lasting memories. Surprise and Engagement in Zimbabwe Another example Eric shares is about a media company with a military veteran commercial director. Eric organized a surprise helicopter ride over Victoria Falls instead of the expected drop-off in the bush, creating a truly memorable experience. He also took a group photo during a rafting trip and sent it to attendees a month later, reminding them of the experience and creating a lasting connection. The Impact of Asking the Right Questions Eric explains that asking the right questions will give you a deeper understanding of your clients, their challenges, and their goals. It positions you as a strategic partner and allows you to plan more efficiently and create meaningful experiences, leading to more fulfilling business relationships and greater client satisfaction. Conclusion By asking the right questions, you can set yourself apart from your competition, understand your clients better, and create more impactful and memorable experiences. That positions you as a strategic partner and helps you build stronger, more satisfying business relationships.

Today, Eric shares invaluable insights on delegation and personal development, both crucial areas of concern for business owners within our industry aiming to grow their enterprises and refine their management skills.  Join us as Eric dives into these two essential aspects, offering practical advice on delegating tasks efficiently and investing in your personal growth for sustained business success. The Benefits of Delegation Eric recounts how handling every project on his own in his early business days led to burnout and stagnation and hindered the scalability of his business. After hiring help, he saw how all his daily tasks could get done successfully without his constant involvement. That shift allowed him more time to focus on his strengths and strategic activities.  Mindset Eric advises business owners to change their mindsets regarding delegation. He firmly believes that even if others only perform the necessary tasks at 80% of their capability, it will still meet all the customer requirements, allowing the owner more time to spend on higher-value tasks. Lifelong Learning Eric believes continuous learning is crucial for business owners to stay relevant in a dynamic business environment. He highlights the importance of continually learning by sharing a story from his academic days, where a professor explained that graduating was just the beginning of lifelong learning.  Investing in Personal Development  Eric has noticed how many individuals in the meetings and events industry neglect their personal development. He believes that may be partly due to the culture of receiving free services and opportunities within the industry. He points out that investing in their personal growth through ongoing learning and development will allow business owners to remain adaptable and innovative in an ever-evolving business market. Coaching, Mentoring, and Educational Programs Eric encourages business owners to proactively invest in personal growth through coaching, mentoring, and educational programs. By dedicating time and resources to their personal development, they can better adapt to future challenges and opportunities. Conclusion Eric encourages all business owners to embrace the principles of delegation and personal development, as they can significantly improve their business operations and personal lives.

The Business of Meetings – Episode 209 – Navigating Solitude: Five Strategies for Entrepreneurs with Eric Rozenberg  Have you ever had to make an important business decision and felt very alone?  Owning and running a business is exciting. However, many entrepreneurs feel cut off and lonely- especially when facing challenging situations.  Today, I share five actionable ideas you can apply immediately to reduce your isolation and gain all the support you need to grow and manage your business. Stay tuned for my ideas and recommendations for overcoming the solitude of entrepreneurship. Building Your Advisory Board One effective way to combat the solitude of entrepreneurship is to establish an advisory board. Drawing from my experience in leading organizations, I understand the value of surrounding yourself with trusted individuals who offer diverse perspectives and professional expertise. Your advisory board will be a valuable resource for guidance, allowing you to make informed decisions and feel supported while navigating all your business challenges. Engaging with Professional Organizations Actively involving yourself in professional organizations like MPI (Meeting Professionals International) will allow you learning and networking opportunities and help you grow as an individual. By volunteering for these communities, you can gain helpful insights, forge lasting connections, and contribute to the advancement of your industry.  I have experienced the benefits of participating in professional organizations to combat my feelings of isolation and enhance my professional development. Prioritizing Mental Health and Serendipitous Connections I truly understand the importance of mental health. So, I encourage you, my fellow entrepreneurs, to liberate yourselves from the limitations of your workspaces and welcome any unexpected encounters. Participating in physical activities, connecting with others socially, and attending conferences create an environment conducive to creativity and personal development.  Broadening your experiences and embracing new ideas will help you combat your feelings of solitude and become more creative in all your future endeavors. Leveraging Mastermind Groups Mastermind groups offer platforms for entrepreneurs to collaborate, share their experiences, and seek advice from their peers. When you join mastermind groups, participate in their discussions, and support your fellow members, you can tap into a wealth of collective knowledge and resources.  I firmly believe in the importance of actively participating in mastermind groups to help one another grow and provide support when tackling the challenges we often face as entrepreneurs. Seeking Guidance from Coaches and Mentors I encourage all entrepreneurs to seek guidance from coaches, advisors, or mentors with relevant expertise and experience. By leveraging their insights and gaining accountability from these mentors, you can accelerate your development, personally and professionally. It is essential to learn from those who have succeeded and recognize the invaluable guidance mentors can offer for navigating the entrepreneurial journey. Conclusion My five strategies for combating the solitude of entrepreneurship- surrounding yourself with supportive networks, engaging with professional communities, prioritizing your mental well-being, participating in collaborative groups, and seeking guidance from experienced mentors, have helped me to overcome many business challenges, grow personally, and thrive in my entrepreneurial pursuits. I have no doubt they will also work wonders for you! Connect with Eric Rozenberg On LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Website

Eric shares a strategy today that will guarantee you stay on track for prosperity in the coming year. In today's episode, he explains how he organizes his time, sets his priorities, and, most significantly, holds himself accountable for the tasks he undertakes. Join us today to learn about Eric's game-changing formula, designed to sidestep all the pitfalls and pave the way for a truly successful and fulfilling year. Stay tuned for a conversation packed with insights and practical tips! Defining Your Ideal Week  To kickstart a successful year, begin by planning your ideal week. You can use tools like Excel or any other planning software to create a one-page overview of your week, from morning routines to business priorities and personal activities. Blocking out dedicated time for everything you have to do will ensure your week is balanced, purposeful, and aligned with your goals. Analyzing Time and Delegating Effectively  Next, you need to look at the critical aspect of time management. Eric suggests keeping a detailed record of all your daily activities for a few weeks and categorizing them into “do," "delegate," and "stop" columns. That will help you identify any areas that require improvement, let you delegate tasks efficiently, give you the time to focus on essential activities, and eliminate all the non-productive elements. Setting and Reviewing Goals To avoid setting and forgetting your yearly goals, Eric emphasizes the importance of doing regular reviews. Breaking down your long-term goals into quarterly milestones will ensure you stay aligned with your objectives. Adopting this approach will facilitate your smooth transition from yearly planning to monthly, weekly, and daily planning, making your goals more manageable and achievable. Time Blocking and Priority Reflection  It is essential to incorporate your goals into your calendar. All your commitments, whether personal or professional, should be scheduled to reflect your priorities accurately. The strategy of time blocking will ensure that crucial tasks are allocated the necessary attention and do not get lost in the hustle and bustle of your daily activities. Daily Planning  Reviewing your schedule for the upcoming week every Sunday will help you to facilitate your daily planning. You can also identify three crucial tasks each evening that will constitute a win for the next day when accomplished.  Accountability Eric emphasizes the importance of being accountable and explains that most successful individuals have a coach or an accountability partner. Checking in regularly with an accountability buddy will ensure you get the support and motivation you need to stay on track and achieve your goals. The roadmap to a successful year involves a strategic blend of weekly planning, effective time management, goal setting, time blocking, and daily accountability.  Eric's comprehensive approach will lead you to a more purposeful and fulfilling year.

He will also explain how to fortify your pipeline and refine your pitch.  These strategies are not only straightforward but also incredibly efficient. Get ready to reap the rewards after using these simple yet powerful methods for transforming your sales approach! Becoming a Strategic Adviser Positioning yourself as a strategic adviser rather than a logistical expert can be a game-changer. Becoming a strategic partner will allow you to demonstrate your power of understanding and address your clients' core business concerns. Personal Accountability for Sales Success Personal accountability plays a pivotal role in increasing sales. During a conference, Eric noticed a surprising need for more commitment among sales professionals toward dedicating just one hour daily for prospecting and client outreach. One hour per day equates to reaching out to approximately 800 people annually. Your calendar reflects your priorities, and by making this small and impactful commitment, you position yourself to expand your network and increase business significantly. It is a straightforward strategy, yet it often gets neglected. Implementing just one hour each day of focused effort will allow you a proactive stance in shaping your success and positively impacting your sales. Two Fundamental Principles Success in sales depends on two fundamental principles: Being a strategic adviser  Maintaining personal accountability  Take Action Now You can begin integrating these simple and effective strategies into your approach immediately. Understanding and addressing your clients' core business needs and committing just one hour daily to outreach are tangible and actionable steps toward enhancing your sales.  Remember, success is within your control, and there is no better time than now to start implementing these strategies and witnessing the positive impact on your business.  If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

The Business of Meetings – Episode 193- Five Steps to Define Your Business Vision with Eric Rozenberg Today, Eric shares a game-changing tool he uses for helping and advising people and coaching business owners. He used the same exercise to help him visualize and map out the future course of his current business. Prepare to be amazed by the incredible results and clarity of direction this process brings you when you put it into practice!  From Shock to a Life-Changing Vision In March 2020, during an annual retreat with his EO group, Eric recalls sitting around a campfire and experiencing the initial shock of sports cancellations due to the onset of COVID-19. Interestingly, the theme of the retreat was envisioning your life in 2030. Eric joined the retreat without any expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the life-changing nature of the process he learned there. Since then, he has often returned to the exercise and reflected on what he wrote during the retreat. A Comprehensive Approach to Shaping the Future of Your Business This exercise is a comprehensive yet straightforward approach to envisioning and shaping the future of your life and business. To make the process more practical, we have broken it down into five manageable steps and aimed it toward 2030: Start by identifying and categorizing the different areas of your life into seven different categories, like health, work, finances, fun, family, and personal development. Once you have defined those areas, rate your current standing within each area in terms of where you are today compared with where you would like to be in 2030, and then set goals for 2030. Create a visual representation, like a chart or graph, to further clarify your goals. Dedicate time to outlining three concrete actions you will take for each area within the next 12 months to propel yourself toward your 2030 goals. It could involve anything from lifestyle changes to professional development initiatives.  Make a list of questions based on how you want your life to be in 2030. Start by thinking about every area of your life, and then list a conclusive series of questions about all of those areas. The questions should cover where you want to live, your relationship aspirations, career achievements, legacy goals, and anything else you hope for. Take all the time you need to answer these questions. Choose a specific day or date in 2030 and describe it as a day in your life. Take all the time you need to vividly depict that day, incorporating all the details you gathered while answering the previous question. This part of the exercise may only take a few hours, or you may need multiple sessions to complete it. By approaching these five steps systematically, you can transform this seemingly overwhelming exercise into a practical and transformative tool for long-term planning. Remember, the key is to let the process unfold gradually. You may need to revisit the process from time to time, to refine your vision.  If you have any questions or need guidance, reach out to Eric. He will provide all the support you need.  If you embark on this journey enthusiastically, you will be astounded by all the remarkable results and newfound clarity it brings into your life and business.

Listen in as Steven discusses his foray into real estate from the airline industry post 9/11 and how his lessons learned as a pilot carry over into his career as an entrepreneur and mentor to aspiring business owners.A lot of today's discussion revolves around the importance of having your systems and processes clearly defined. Seven refers to the definition of “business” as given to him by a mentor, namely: “a commercial, profitable enterprise that runs without you and has a sale date.”He explains how he was able to scale his portfolio exponentially simply by shifting his paradigm from seeing himself as a property owner to seeing himself as a business owner. To him, a huge component to longevity is the willingness to remove yourself as the bottleneck of your own business.Sponsors:Visit https://buildertrend.com/aft/ to get a 60-day money-back guarantee on your Buildertrend account!Pella Windows & Doors - https://www.pella.com/Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove: Schedule an appointment at subzero-wolf.com/Scottsdale or 480.921.0900Topics Discussed: How 9/11 changed Steven's lifeDefining “business”Managing properties like a businessCreating a system around your businessSetting KPIs around “hand-off spots” in your businessDelivering consistency to the clientBeing comfortable asking for helpDetaching yourself from the businessConnect with Steven Rozenberg:Website - https://steverozenberg.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rozenbergsteve/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/mastermynd/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCck4Ww77C6IoZQDPne9fHgQConnect with Brad Leavitt:Website - https://www.aftconstructionpodcast.com/Instagram - https://instagram.com/aft_constructionFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/aftconstructionHouzz - https://www.houzz.com/pro/aft-construction/aft-constructionPinterest - https://www.pinterest.ph/AFT_CONSTRUCTION/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzB4R_DHPVV1SPh7RUfR5jgKey Quotes by Steven:You have to let go of ego and pride.

I'm Michael Albaum and today I'm joined by Steve Rozenberg, who's an airline pilot and entrepreneur, and he's gonna be talking to us about the mental mind shifts we as investors need to make in order to scale and have successful businesses. So let's get into it.   Steve, what is going on, man? Thanks so much for taking the time to come hang out with me today. I appreciate it.   Steve: What's happening, fellas, good to see you.   Michael: Oh, super good to see you, Steve. I am super excited to share with our listeners a little bit about you and your background, because I know a little bit about it. But for anyone who doesn't know who Steve Rozenberg is, bring us up to speed quick and dirty. Who you are, where you come from, what is it you're doing in real estate today?   Steve: Sure. So I live in Houston, Texas, born and raised in Los Angeles, actually, my career brought me out here and that careers, what got me kind of involved in being a real estate and being an entrepreneur. I'm an airline pilot by trade and I got hired at 25 years old. I was the second youngest person ever hired by this particular major airline and hired at 25, I had the best job in the world is flying all over the globe. I was 25 years old and it was the most safe, most secure job that anyone could imagine having. Until a certain day in history. That day was 9/11 and that day changed my life, it changed a lot of people's lives. It changed my life because on 9/13, two days after 9/11 in the towers fell, I got delivered a furlough notice and I was basically told, hey, Steve, you know what that safe, secure job that you thought you had, it was never safe and it was really never secure and you're about to be on the street with 50,000 other pilots.   So to say that I got punched in the face very, very hard within about 48 hours would be an understatement and it was it was rough. You know I always I ever want to do as a kid is be an airline pilot. I didn't want to do anything else. I was fulfilling my dream and this something happened, which I realized it had nothing to do with me but it affected me. You know, I didn't I wasn't a part of 9/11 but I was a repercussion, a ripple effect, if you will and so I started to talk about what I could do, what could I do? What to survive to make a paycheck, right? All I knew was to be a pilot, but there was many, many other pilots out there probably better pilots than me to be honest with you that you know, we're also on the street and I looked and I saw that everyone that was tied to wealth somehow was tied to real estate. I didn't know anything about real estate, but I was like, okay, I mean, I knew some pilots who had rental properties, but I didn't know much about it. So this is 2001. So there was no YouTube or Facebook. So I had to go to the library. I had to get a library card.   Michael: A lot of our listeners are probably asking, like, what is that?   Steve: Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's a big house with a lot of books and so I had to start learning about real estate, I read a book a week and I just I read everything I could, because I thought that I was behind the curve of figuring out what I was going to do with this airline thing. If there was another terrorist attack or something happened, I was gonna be out of work and so I learned all the different things you know, now it's very cliche, you know, burrs and all this other stuff. But I just I learned how to buy I learned how to flip I learned how to wholesale properties. I got lied to, I got ripped off, I got cheated on. I mean, you name it, I just kept getting pushed down face down in the mud every time. But I kept getting back up because I had to I didn't I didn't have a choice. I had to figure out this combination and I, I saw people that were successful. So I was like, okay, there's a recipe. I just don't know it. But I can think like, I'm not the dumbest guy in the world. But I could figure this out and then I started getting better and I started winning a little bit more than I was losing and I started figuring out and what I realized was communicators are actually the ones that are the most successful, not the contractors.   It's four walls in a roof. It's relationship driven. It's not anything else and that relationship is driven by business models, and it's driven by systems and so I started realizing that the four walls and a roof and the dirt really had nothing to do with being a real estate investor. The successful people were good communicators, and they understood the value of leverage and team and then I started looking back at my real estate in my airline career and I started looking at how airlines run and I was like okay, systems, procedures structure and I kind of started melding the two and that led me into start learning to become successful as with my, my old business partner, Pete Newberg, who has been on your show, he and I built a very, very successful property management company, by understanding how to leverage those models and how to leverage systemization and then I've gone on to do a lot of other things, coaching people working with people, helping people understand the systemization of a business is very fundamental to be successful, is what I've learned and that's what I help people with.   Michael: I love that and we're gonna get into a little bit more of the systemization here in a minute. But for anyone listening, it's like, well, Steve, Michael, I'm not an extrovert. I'm more of an introvert, I'm more of an insert inside kind of person, like, Am I just doomed to never be a real estate investor like, what should I be doing if that's me?   Steve: So that's a good question because a lot of people you know, are a lot of people that go into real estate, what I've learned is they're running away from a life or job that they don't want you when you talk to real estate investors, and I coach a lot of real estate investors all over the world and when I talk to them, I'll ask them, why are you doing this, and a lot of them will tell me, I don't want this, I don't want that. They're running away from something and what they're running away from is a life that they don't want to have. Unfortunately, when you're running away from something you don't want, that's what you're focused on, and you run right back into it. I mean, that's the cycle, right because that's your filter. But what I've learned is, you don't have to be the best communicator, but you have to have good communicators on your team. There's things that I am really, really good at and there are things that I am horrible at. It's a matter of understanding, what are my strengths? What are my weaknesses, I don't think that I should become like, that's just my opinion. I don't think it makes sense to work on my weaknesses. I don't know anything about accounting, I would make a company go bankrupt if I started doing the accounting books for my business. So why should I go and take two year courses at a junior college to learn how to do books, or I just hire someone and that's what they do. So I've taken my weakness, and I've actually turned it into a strength because now I don't have to think about it, I don't have to focus on it. I have someone in place that is run by KPIs and metrics and accountability and I just, I just parceled, that whole piece of my life off.   So to answer your question, I don't think you have to be good at that. A business needs it like my business partner, Pete. He was the integrator and I was the visionary. I was the forward guy, I was the guy out in front. But I sucked at the operational side, he was like the mushroom in the in the back room and, you know, my job was to break his business all the time. It's like I wanted to have so much sales and marketing coming in, that he would go Steve, I can't take it anymore and that was like my victory lap of showing. That's the that's the sales and marketing tug of war that goes on, right and so I don't think that you have to be good at everything because the reality is, is you're not, you're probably good at one thing and you suck at everything else that you do. It's a matter of identifying what am I good at? What am I not good at leveraging out those other things and focusing on that one thing to be the very best that you can be and if you can do that, you will help the business, the organization and you'll be much happier too.   Michael: I think yeah, I think it makes a ton a ton a ton a ton of sense. So talk to Steve about like, you got three to five properties, you're looking at scaling up, you're realizing maybe a little bit more and more, you're self-managing, hey, this might be more of a job than I was anticipating I'm trying to get out of a job that people what are some systems people should be putting in place and how should they be thinking about systemization if that's a new term for them, that's never something they've done before?   Steve: Yeah, that's a great question and let, I'm going to back it up a little bit if it's okay, because a lot of people, if they have three to five properties, and I get a lot of people that will call me and ask me that question like, hey, Steve, you know, if I'm in front of them, they'll put a deal like three inches from my face and they're like, hey, is this a good deal like being closer makes it more sense? I don't know. But they'll put this right to my face and they're like, is this a good deal? Well, I don't know what a good deal is for you. So first question is, what's the goal, right? What is the date of that goal? So if they don't know the goal, and they don't have a date, and a timeline and a way to achieve that goal, I can't tell them what to do. I can't give them directions. It's kind of like if you said, hey, Steve, we're all gonna go to Disneyland and we got to be at the front gates at 8am on Friday morning and we're going to leave our house at 6am and we're going to take the 405 to the 91. Get off on Disney drive, and we're gonna go into the gates to be there ready to go. Well, if along that way, you get lost, you're gonna pull over and you're gonna go, hey, Steve, can I get directions? What's the first thing I'm going to ask you? Where are you? Where are you going? If you say, I don't know, I'm just driving around today, I'm gonna go with it. I can't help you, because I don't know where you're trying to get to. So if you take that same analogy, many people buy properties. They don't have a goal. So they say, should I buy more properties? My question is, is I don't know what's the goal? Because, you know, many people, you know, they think that owning rentals is the goal. That's just the strategy to achieve the goal. That's like saying, I'm going to get on the 405 freeway and you're going, where are you going? I don't know, I'm just gonna get on the freeway and drive and the reason I know that is when Pete and I first started buying properties, that's what we did. We were just buying properties and we're going the wrong way, in the wrong direction at a very, very fast pace and nobody stopped us to say, where are you guys going because we're just driving. We're like, we're making great time. Unfortunately, we're going in the wrong way. So to answer your question, to going back to what you're saying about systemization, every business normally has about eight to 11 systems in their business, it's a matter of looking at what you do and systemizing everything. So if you took a system and put it in a vertical, let's just say when you're going to rent a property, what is the system that it takes to rent that property, you've got to basically first thing you've got to do is maybe the first trigger of that system is when the Make ready is done. Now the property is in rent ready condition, it now triggers this system to happen. What's the first thing you got to do? Well, maybe you've got to go and take pictures and video of the property. Step one, what's the next thing you got to do? Well, then you've got to do some comps and check out the area and see what the property is renting for. That's step two. So you're going through and you're just basically talking to me, like I'm a three year old or third grader and you're explaining to me in very painstaking detail, what you're doing. These are all steps in the process of a systemization. Once you create the system all the way through to getting the property rented, once the property is rented, that system is complete. Maybe that system is 19 steps, right? Then you look at that system and go okay, is this the most efficient way to run this system, does or is there any redundancy? Is there any things that we don't even do or should not do? Are we missing some things? Now, let's say for example, this person, he, let's just say he grows and he gets an employee to do these tasks, right and or he subs it out to a company. This company needs to know very, very clearly what they're doing because the definition like look, I think we can all agree that when you own one business, or you own 50 businesses, which are rental properties, those are businesses, that you've got to treat it like a business, right? The challenge is, most people don't they don't have any systems that don't have any structure and it's chaos, which is why so many landlords get sued, because there's no systemization or standardization, meaning how you lease a property. When you're in the airlines, right, we'll go back to being an airline pilot, if I'm an airline pilot, and I came out and said, hey, everyone, this is gonna be a great day today. We're off to Hawaii. This is my first time ever doing this. So wish me luck. I'm just gonna wing it and hopefully we make it there. How would you feel?   Michael: Yeah, a little bit shaky.   Steve: Right but yeah, you'd probably be like, I'm not getting on this plane. Yeah, but that's what many people do with their rental properties and they're doing that with their financial lives, right? This is your real life, you're trusting me with your life but you don't do that with your financial life. So there's a disconnect as to the training and, and the way that you can scale because if you have to do everything in your business, you don't own a business, you own a job and a job is not scalable, because you have only so many hours in the day, and you have so much knowledge of what you're good at and what you're bad at. So I don't know if that answered the question but there's, that's a very hard thing to unpack.   Michael: No, it totally does. It totally does. Two things. First thing is I think you must be having been out of LA for a long time, because your analogy you're talking about getting on the 405 Dizzy land, you leave by six get there by eight. There's no world in which that happens today. Yeah, first and foremost. But secondly, so like, how does someone make that mindset shift because I think so many of us and specifically, it seems to be pretty pervasive in the real estate world, this DIY mentality, you know, I do it myself, do it myself, do it myself. How does, how do you make that mental leap of, okay, I'm going from doing it myself, small business owner to hiring someone or contracting it out or putting it to somebody else so I can get out of my own way?   Steve: Sure. Well, there's a couple things. Number one, you've got to you have to be willing to let go of your ego and pride, right? Because ego and pride are success inhibitors, they will kill your success quicker than anything. I should do it because I'm in charge, right and so let's go back to the goal, right? If I said, hey, what's your goal and you didn't, you didn't and this is what I use this example when I coach people, I'll tell them, okay, let's just use this as an example. I call it a 2020 2020 properties in 20 years, giving you $20,000 a month in passive income. It's a bait. It's a goal, right? Yeah, it's, it's got a time limit on it. It's something that we can attach an actual goal to and we know how we're going to achieve that goal because we have a scoreboard to see if we've made that. So that means that each property needs to be giving off $1,000 a month in passive income to get 20 properties give me $20,000 a month. Okay, that means, okay, so let we're gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna answer your question in a roundabout way, we've got to say, Okay, if we want to have 20 properties, that means by year 10, we have to have acquired all those properties so that from year 10, to your 20, we're going to pay those properties off, because we want them free and clear by your 20. That means between year one and year 10, we have to purchase 20 properties, which means we have to close on two properties a year, which is every six months, which means every three months, we have to be looking for deals.   My first question is, is do you have the finances to even make this happen? Do you have the do you have the financial means to achieve this goal? If they say I don't have a job, I'm gonna go well, then we're done talking because first thing you need is the financial means to make that happen. That's number one. Then we say okay, when you achieve the goal of 20 20 20, right, and we get to where we want to go, what I have learned and what many people I'm sure some people will learn, it's not a bad thing to learn. But a lot of people identify success by their accolades, meaning how much money they have in the bank, or how many properties they have, how many doors whatever they want to whatever they want to use as their gauge. That's how they quantify their success, or lack thereof. Now, I had Pete and I had a very successful property management company that we sold to a venture capital much larger firm and I can tell you that when you get that money in the bank, it is very, very, very anticlimactic. Like I mean, literally, like after we sold our company, and we sold it for well into seven figures, all of a sudden, I thought I'm done, like, oh, this is awesome. Now, mind you, I still am an airline pilot this whole time. So I'm okay financially but I thought, man, if I just if we sell this company, we're good. You don't happen Monday morning, after we sold the company?   Michael: You put on your uniform and go fly a plane.   Steve: My wife said, hey, don't forget, take the trash out the trash bin or come and I'm like, when I sold the company, like I sold my goods just like, don't give a shit. Take the trash out. So, but the point is, is like all of a sudden you think you're in some magic club like you think you break through this glass ceiling and the reality is, is nobody cares and the reason I'm saying the reason I'm going somewhere with this is that we think that once we achieve a mark or a goal that's going to make our lives complete and sadly, it doesn't, it actually makes it more hollow because you realize, like, wow, I've been doing this all these years, and nobody even cares. Like they're, you know, everyone's moving on. So what I always tell people when I talked to when I told you earlier that a lot of entrepreneurs, they buy real estate, and people want to get involved in real estate and I asked them why they say I want more freedom, right? I'm sure you've probably heard this, I want anytime freedom, do what I want, blah, blah, blah, they use this word freedom, like it means something special to them. I tell them okay, well, let me ask you this, why don't you just sell all your shit today, go live in your car at the park, and you'll have all the freedom you need. No one will bother you, you'll have your freedom. They think about that I'm like, but you know, what you won't have is you won't have the memories that you want associated with that freedom.   So we're really not buying freedom. What we're buying is memories. So when I sell a business, or I have rental properties, giving me cash flow, what am I doing with that cash flow, it's giving me the ability to have freedom to go buy the memories. It's the memories we want. So going back to your question, how does somebody step out of what they want? I would first ask them, what memories do you want to buy because at the end of the day, we're not leaving, we're not leaving this earth with anything except our memories, right? When we go when our when our expiration date happens. We're not going anywhere, except with memories in our brains. What memories do you want, right in the real estate, and the cash flow or whatever you're doing with that will give you the means to buy those memories. So buy the memories don't buy the time is you go to prison and have all the free time you want. You may not like the result, but you'll have free time by the memories, right? Go to you know, have dinner on the Mediterranean in Greece, right? Go to this African Safari, the Rolling Stones in Wembley Stadium. Those are the memories that you want and that's what real estate gives you. So going back to your question when someone says, hey, like, you know, how do I get out of it? I'm like, what memories do you want? Do you want to be an employee? That's trading time for money because that's what you're doing? I'll give you an example. So my son, he bought a rental property at 14 years old. Okay and everyone's like, oh, that's awesome. Yeah and he bought it with his money, you know and so everyone's like, man, that's awesome. That's great. Like, did you have him do the rehab and clean the house and I'm like, No. Why would I do that? They're like, so he can learn. I'm like, I don't do that. Why should I make him do that? That's being a hypocrite. I want him to be a business owner, not an employee. Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with being an employee but that's that that is not the goal of one rental property like, hey, congratulations, you want a rental property? Now go learn how to cut wood lay tile, put it insulation but dad, you don't do that. I wouldn't even know how to do that. Like, again, working on strengths versus weaknesses, right? People seem like when they get a rental property that like, all of a sudden, I've got to learn how to put a toilet in and I gotta get up on the roof and inspect it. I'm like, have you ever done that before? No and I'm like, Well, then why in the heck would you get up on a roof? If you didn't know what you're doing like this is how you become a statistic. But we think we should because of ego and pride. So that's kind of a long answer but that's my answer.   Michael: I love it, I love it a great answer. Steve, great answer. Talk to us a little bit about, like, the qualities and what you see really successful people do who are able to implement systematization like what like, what skills should people be go out there and refining in order to be able to execute here really, really well?   Steve: Well, yeah, that's a great question and I've studied a lot of very successful people. I've been coached and mentored by some very successful people and I'm a constant student, I still a mentor to this day. Anyone who says that they don't need to be coached, and they don't need to be mentored, is missing out on a lot of opportunity. I look at Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, these guys are at the top of their game, and they still have coaches and mentors. All professional athletes have coaches, you don't become a professional athlete, and then lose the coaches. They make you better.   Michael: So I'm done.   Steve: Yeah, it's like I'm done. Um, you know, even Kobe Bryant, I mean, everyone, they all have coaches. I mean, that's how it works, right? Right, it's brings the best thing out of you. So number one, I think you always have to have somebody holding you accountable and if you look at all successful people, they have accountability. They have somebody holding them accountable in somebody, you know, a three feet distance is a world of perspective, right? In the simulators. When we find the simulators and we're practicing engine failures and all these things. The simulator instructor is about three feet behind us the control panel, and we joke and he they know, they're like, yeah, I'm the smartest guy in here because I'm three feet behind you, I can see all the mistakes you guys are making. You don't see it, because you're in the heat of battle. He's like, I can see it coming a mile away. I'm the smartest guy in the room. So having somebody three feet away, is a world of perspective, having an organization help give you guidance to when you're looking to acquire a property that's giving you that three feet difference. That's a world of difference, right? So, there is a recipe for success and I'm a firm believer. If you look at all successful people, they follow a very simple recipe. It's not magic, people who are failures, they follow a recipe also and I think that every day that you wake up every day that we all wake up, we have a decision to make. It's very simple. Am I going to be better than yesterday or am I going to be worse than that, initially, is our decision that we make every day because you're not good, you're they're getting better. You're getting worse, we never stay the same ever and so when you wake up in the morning, what is the decision you're gonna make? Are you going to do any reading? Are you going to do any I'm statements? What are you going to do to focus on solution based questions slash trying to be better or are you going to be in blame excuse or denial? So going back to your question, I think that people that if you want to learn how to become better at systemization, then talk to someone who knows what they're doing and that can help you become a systems expert because, look, as an airline pilot, right? I've been I've been flying for almost 30 years, I've been trained by Boeing, I fly one of the most complicated aircraft out there a Boeing 787. I didn't, I wasn't born that way, I had to be trained and guess what, we still go back to training every six months, and we go back through all the initial stuff. So just because you reach the pinnacle, you don't stay up there and if you look at people that are successful, they're always trying to be better, just because you have three houses or five houses or 500 houses. Look, the crash to the bottom is much faster than the rise to the top, as we all know, and seen, you know, with banks crashing and other things. It's the people that are cognizant and follow that recipe and again, I don't think it's a very complicated recipe and if you look at people, you know, they do a lot of things in the one thing that I've learned, I'll give you a quick story. I was with one of my mentors one time, guys. 11 businesses, right. He's on the board of 11 businesses and he was my mentor, and we lunch and I was like, man, I don't know how you do it. Like you have 11 businesses. I'm like, how many days a week do you work? He's like, Tuesday, Thursday, and sometimes half a Friday. It was like this guy was talking Martian to me. I was like, like, how is that even possible and he goes, You know what, Steve, you know what the difference is? He says, I say No, way more than I say yes and I said, you know what, that's easy for you to say because you're this multimillionaire that has 11 businesses and he said, I would have never become this way. If I didn't start saying no and he said there's an opportunity cost that every time you say yes to something, you are saying no to something else, right.   So he goes every time you say yes to doing something that is not the most high income producing activity, you are saying no to something. He's like, it's again, he goes, it's your choice. So when I coach people, one of the things I do, and this will be a freebie for people watching is, I always have them do a two week time study, okay? So it's a very simple time study that they have to go and they have to write down for two weeks, every single thing that they do, right, you want to go on a diet, you start tracking your food, you want to see where your money's going, you go on a budget, you want to see where your time is going and start tracking it at the end of the day, they have to give me an executive summary. Tell me how your day went? I don't care. I don't care what you did. I just want to hear it from your words. Within one week, within one week, they will be like, I now know where my time is going and most people think they're so productive, like, oh, I work all day long. I'm like, bullshit, you don't work all day long. Yeah, study and we'll see. After they do the time set, he's like, man, I'm only working like three hours a day. I'm like, because everything else is reactionary. A five minute interruption, a five minute phone call is equal to 23 minutes of lost time. How many times as a as a real estate investor entrepreneur, do we get the sideways calls that interrupt our data, and they sidetrack us, if you get 10 calls a day, that's 230 minutes that you were never expecting to lose, you just lost that chunk of time. So now you're living what's called a reactive life and when you're living a reactive life, you're in chaos and when you're in chaos, you're not in control and when you're not in control, you're not making money. So the challenges is what people don't put a factor into this chaotic life, is the mental stress that it weighs on you. So once they do the first week, the second week, they have to go back in every day, they have to do this and I and just the type of coach I am, every day, they have to send me a picture of their time study and I tell them, the day you don't send this, to me is the last day you will hear from me, because I can't want it more than you like it's very simple. Like, even if you pay me all the money, you're done like that's just how it is I can't I don't have time to waste if you don't want to be better. So when they do this, the next day is they have to put an H or an L next to that high income activity, low income activity. And guess how many low income activities they do on a day?   Michael: Probably the majority…   Steve: Probably the majority. So then what we do at the end of that next week, we go, okay, these are the things that make you money. These are the things that don't we need to outsource systemize or automate the things that you don't make money on of these high income activities. Which ones do you like doing? Which ones are you good at? I like this, and this, okay, this is the focus, we need to find someone else to do these other high income activities. We don't ignore them and so my point is, is one of my mentors said that he goes TV goes understand saying no is not saying that. No, the way you think it. He goes when I say no, it just means I'm not doing it. He goes, I just make sure that other people are getting it done, but it's not through me. He goes things to have to get done in a business but he goes, it doesn't have to be you. That's your ego and pride, thinking that you have to be the one doing it all. So that was a very valuable lesson for me that I share with you, you in the listeners.   Michael: Yeah, thank you. I mean, as you're saying this, I'm just like, oh, my God, I have so many hours in my day, this is insane.   Steve: Yeah, we do. We all look, we all do. And it's a matter of stepping on the scale whenever I'm coaching someone, or someone gives me a call, like, man, I just feel like I'm losing it. I'm like, just do a time study. I mean, it sounds it sounds so simple, or whatever but I'm like just do the time study you will see very clearly, and then just fix it. Look at the pendulum swings. It's okay but you got to do something to take corrective action. Otherwise, it's going to keep swinging, it's never gonna go back on its own. You don't all of a sudden become more organized and more productive. It doesn't work that way, right? You're always gonna go back and you've got to start focusing on making that decision every day. What am I doing? You know, and it could be something simple. It could be reading for five minutes, could be writing your day could be whatever it is, but start creating habits and those habits become patterns and those patterns will change your life.   Michael: Mike drop exit stage left, Steve, that was amazing. Man, I want to be super respectful of your time. If people want to talk with you more, learn more about you reach out, have you as their coach, what's the best way for them to do so?   Steve: Yeah, they can find me on all social media handles. It's Rozenberg, Steve on Instagram, Steve Rozenberg on all the other stuff. They can also go to my website. My website is https://steverozenberg.com/ , it's ROZENBERG.com and you know, I do a lot of coaching. I do three day masterminds with very high level, people like Bradley, the iron cowboy, other people, I bring them in. It's all about mindset and it's all about, you know, the one thing I'll say real quick before we go and I want to be respectful of your time is don't be selfish, and to the people watching and what I mean by that is as entrepreneurs, we watch these shows, right? We buy real estate, we do all these things, and we do it for the people that we love but here's the thing, we never actually share the knowledge that we've learned with the people we're doing it for. To me, that's the definition of being selfish be selfless. Like I said, my son bought his first rental property and 14, create generational wealth, right? Bring them into the loop. Don't be selfish, because when you're selfish, you're isolating yourself, have an open mind and the ability to give abundance and share the knowledge that you learned from this podcast, show reading, bring the family that you're doing it for into the mix, and you will have a much, much more fulfilled life and you'll be much more successful not just financially, but personally relationship and all that stuff. So don't be selfish.   Michael: Yeah. I love that, Steve and one more final question before I let you go. You mentioned you're running a mastermind and I think a lot of our listeners maybe have been to how to coach or been to seminars or been in real estate trainings, and just whoever reason can't implement it. They take the classroom knowledge, but they can't execute a role. So what have you seen people do who are really successful at that and actually applying what they've learned and taking that excitement and went out and actually ran with it…   Steve: That's a good question. So and the reason I created my mastermind is that very reason, right? Everybody goes there, rah, rah, they leave in there, like two weeks later, they're like, it's in their car underneath their seats, all the dogs chewing on it and so what I do when I do my masterminds is once they're done, they get unlimited coaching from me, they get my phone, they get my text, they get my email, if they need me, they call me. So I'm there as accountability for them every single day. It's not that hey, I know you have a problem Monday morning with a tenant exploding your house but we're supposed talk Thursday at three so call me then that doesn't work in the real world. I don't think that that's a very successful model. I give unlimited so that they have me and they have me as accountability. I think the biggest challenge when you leave these events and coaching is the accountability part. If the coach if you have a coach and he's not accountable, find them accountability person, one of the things I do when I coach partners is I have a board of directors meeting, I create a board of directors for them going over the P&I statements going over balance sheets, going over the goals. This is what you need to do in any organization, all businesses do it. Most people don't. So if you can't make your coach be accountable, or you can't afford a coach or whatever the case may be find a friend, a family member or go to the bum on the corner. I don't care but make someone hold you accountable that you actually have to answer for what you're doing and I think if you're accountable, based on what you learned, that's why I do unlimited coaching, you're going to be much more successful with achieving the goals that you set out to achieve.   Michael: Makes total sense, Steve, this was a total, total blast, man, thank you so much for taking the time to hang out with me. I really, really appreciate it.   Steve: Thank you, man. It's good having you appreciate you having me on.   Michael: Hey, we'll definitely talk soon.   All right, when that was episode, a big thank you to Steve for coming on super, super, super great stuff. As he was talking. I was like, oh my God, I need to start doing a lot more of what Steve is talking about.
