Episode 16 of the Journey to DevelopHer™ Podcast with Jonathan Steingraber. If you are in real estate you've most likely heard of Jonathan Steingraber. He is known for his passionate speaking, in-depth training, and his personal story. As Jon would put it, “Everyone has a story.” His is pretty remarkable. If you hang around him long enough you'll get the opportunity to experience the powerful lessons he shares from stage. In 2009 Jon realized his passion for public speaking while working with FortuneBuilders Inc. He started off as an intern in their real estate investment company CT Homes LLC which is famous for being on the hit TV show Flip This House on A&E. He noticed an opportunity and moved out to San Diego. His offer to them was simple he says, “I'll work for free, no questions asked.” He quickly proved to be more valuable than an intern and became the marketing director. Quickly he developed a business model for the educational side of the business which is called FortuneBuilders and he was recruited full time. Jon headed up program development and was the creator of what is their business model today where they tour the country teaching students on how to get on a path to financial independence. He worked hand in hand with Than Merrill, Paul Esajian and others to grow the company from a few million dollars a year to a few hundred million a year. Jon and a few other employees of FortuneBuilders launched nationwide and eventually into Canada. Jon was recognized consistently with the “Most Influential” award at FortuneBuilders Inc. As a national speaker With FortuneBuilders Inc. Jon has trained over 100,000 realtors and investors. But what he's most proud of when he was asked, is not how many people he has trained but the few hundred that took the time to hand write him letters on how his seminars impacted their lives. After years of traveling the USA and Canada speaking every weekend at FB seminars, he decided to get off the road and put his skills to work for his own ventures.Jon is a serial entrepreneur and not just in an “Instagram” tag line sort of way.Now Jon's priority is Signature Realty. In 2016 Jon partnered with Michelle Pais (his beautiful wife and power broker) to grow Signature Realty in NJ. Since then the company has grown by a few hundred percent.Jon's main focus is to continue developing Signature Realty's agents and executing on their expansion plan.Follow him @SteingraberJon on Instagram.

  In real estate, private lending is a necessary field especially for those who want to invest but are short in cash. However, Keith Baker says the power of private lending isn’t the money or the debt that you’re getting, but the education and the network. Keith is a real estate investor and the host of Private Lender Podcast. He talks about the circumstances that led him to become focused on passive investing as a self-directed IRA investor and a private lender, as well as how he got started in podcasting and his passion for private money. — Listen to the podcast here: Private Lending For Profit: Keith’s Interview On The Accelerated Investor Podcast with Josh Cantwell I’m going to throw up the format. I’m going to change it up a little bit. I’m going to throw something a little new at you and let me explain why. First off, if you’re looking to get rich quick, if you want to make $1 million overnight, then stop reading this blog because that’s not what this is about. This is here to help people like myself, like you, normal everyday working people trying to live the American nightmare in suburbia. We have a fairly decent job. We also like real estate but we’re not going to go quit and become the next Chip and Joanna or Than Merrill. This way we can still participate. We can still be investors. We just do it with our funds, private money, private lending, private mortgages to other real estate investors. I believe this is going to be episode number 73 and the topic is I ran out of finished episodes. While I’m putting something together and getting interviews recorded, I did an interview with Josh Cantwell who has a very interesting story. I highly recommend you go seek him out and learn. He does coaching and education. He also uses private money. I figured it would be great to do an interview swap with him, which we have done. However, I have miscommunicated with his tech team and I’m still trying to get my side of it. I do have a copy of my interview on Josh’s podcast, which is called Accelerated Investor Podcast and you can find it at http://www.AcceleratedInvestorPodcast.com (AcceleratedInvestorPodcast.com). My episode happened to be called http://acceleratedinvestorpodcast.com/2019/04/private-lending-for-profit-part-1/ (Private Lending for Profit: Part 1). I had a good time and enjoyed my time with Josh before, during and after we interviewed swapped. At some point, I will post the interview that he did for this show but for the time being, I’m trying to get ahead in my scheduling. My time is getting a little more cramped than usual. I figured this is a great way to buy a week. I’m doing some more solocast. I’m going to start drilling down into different aspects and I’ve got some interesting interviews coming up. The Private Lender Podcast will be sponsoring the https://questira.lpages.co/quest-expo/ (Quest Expo). It was Quest IRA, but they changed their name to https://www.questtrustcompany.com/ (Quest Trust). This is their second year. It’s going to be in Houston this 2019, August 23rd through 25th. I’m proud to be sponsoring that again. Even though I’ve canceled sponsors from this show, I will be bringing back Quest Trust as a sponsor. I will have discount codes for tickets and I will have some interviews from some Quest Trust employees. There will be a lot of interesting things about different accounts that you can use for self-direction and for private lending in notes and real estate. That’s going to be fun. I’m going to let that cat out of the bag. I want to get to my interview on the Accelerated Investor Podcast with Josh Cantwell. — I am particularly excited to be with you to talk about private lending with a relatively new friend. His name is Keith Baker and he has an amazing podcast of his own called the Private Lender Podcast. Keith, welcome to the...

Imagine for a moment that you’re standing in front of a future patient. But you’re not the only one there. You are joined by two other dentists who want the business just as much as you do.

Hey, Ken Courtright here after two weeks on the road. I went to teach at CEO Space in Lake Las Vegas as I do five times a year, but I also spoke on Secret Knock, Greg Reid’s invite-only, exclusive club based on his international best-selling book Three Feet from Gold. I spoke there, and as I was sitting in the audience listening to all the other speakers, something hit me. I was listening to Brian Smith, the founder of UGG Boots. I was listening to Greg Reid, the international speaker. I was listening to David Corbin, the international speaker. Almost every person that took the stage, and they all delivered amazing information at both events, I realized something. Every one of these people that spoke had a platform in front of their platform. Some of them had multiple platforms. So the title of this podcast is “Platform Before the Platform.” I’m going to hit things on business growth from a really different angle today. This one is fun, so let’s talk about car manufacturers, Ford, Chevy, Mercedes. Their platform to sell things is car dealerships. What’s interesting is there is an awareness platform in front of their selling platform. Their awareness platform is called auto shows. Let’s talk about financial advisors. For close to 40 years, the financial advisors that I have studied and for half that time helped grow some businesses, their platforms are a one-on-one sit-down at someone’s home. If you’re really going to help someone with their finances, they have to get to know you, they have to trust you, and you are going to do that in a one-on-one fashion, either through a series of restaurant meetings, over lunch or coffee, or at their home. What’s funny is about 1/3 of financial advisors build their portfolios by doing free steak dinners at a fancy restaurant. I’m talking about people who live in larger cities. How many of you on this podcast have ever gotten a letter in the mail saying “Free steak dinner on us” either at Gibson’s or Morton’s or Lowry’s, some expensive steak place? As long as you show up, you get a steak dinner. While you are eating your steak dinner, you know going in you are going to sit through a 40-minute presentation by a financial advisor. What Is Your Awareness Platform? The platform for those financial advisors is one-on-one meetings, but that is their selling platform. Their awareness platforms are restaurants giving away free steaks. How about direct sales, marketing people? Platform is the same as financial advisors. It’s the one-on-one at your kitchen table. I’m thinking the Mary Kay’s, the Avon’s, Herbalife. But what comes before those? I am coming from experience. My mother-in-law used to be the national director at Mary Kay. She drove the pink cars. Their one-on-one’s were definitely their selling platform. However, the house party comes first. My mom would see if a gal would have a house party. If she could get ten gals there, she could get a free set of makeup or something as a thank-you. The reality is the house party was just to filter out the people who wanted extra income on the side and then eventually my mom would want to book a one-on-one. Let’s talk about real estate investors. I’m thinking guys like Than Merrill from Flip that House on A&E. They are looking for affiliates, joint venture partners. Their platform is the one-on-one, take you out to dinner. Than would say that you could use his money if you scout for him in these cities. Look for properties that meet these criteria. What’s the awareness platform? Once a month, there is a Saturday seminar where Than will teach you everything he knows for free if you attend. He is looking for the few people that want to take it to the next level. Away they go. One last one: professional speakers. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!
