I've known Jon Sanders for several years now, and he's a pretty amazing guy.  Some people give the advice of only focusing on one thing at a time, but there are a rare few folks who thrive and excel doing multiple things at a time. Multipreneurs? Multipotentialites? Jack of all trades and master of many? Whatever you want to call them, Jon is one.   EntrePastors- https://www.entrepastors.com/ 605 Blinds- https://www.605blinds.com/ Dakota Small Jobs- https://dakotasmalljobs.com/    Things mentioned in the show: Membership Freedom- https://ruggeddad.krtra.com/t/GJ8IyjicS5a4 Wealth of Connection by Vincent Pugliese- https://amzn.to/3YhL3gH  E-Myth by Michael Gerber- https://amzn.to/4jcEe8b  Profit First by Mike Michalowicz- https://amzn.to/4cchG5c  Acquisitional Wealth by Josh Tolley- https://amzn.to/4cfT77l  Main Street Millionaire by Codie Sanchez- https://amzn.to/42d8Xej    --- Check out the sweet Hyper X mic I'm using. https://amzn.to/41AF4px    Check out Dr. Dave's Streams of Income at: www.drdavidpowers.com   www.instagram.com/drdavidpowers  www.youtube.com/@streamsofincomebydrdave  --- Join the Streams of Income community at www.facebook.com/groups/streamsofincomedream  --- Check out Passive Income Engines to find your own Streams of Income at www.SelfCoachYourself.com --- Check out my best-selling books: Rapid Skill Development 101- https://amzn.to/3J0oDJ0 Streams of Income with Ryan Reger- https://amzn.to/3SDhDHg Strangest Secret Challenge- https://amzn.to/3xiJmVO --- This page contains affiliate links.

In this episode, Megan dives into a thoughtful conversation with Vincent Pugliese, an expert in building and nurturing memberships. As someone who recognizes the power of connections, Vincent shares insights distilled from his journey—from a successful sports photographer to a thriving membership coach. His passion for community and the impact of meaningful interactions are evident throughout our discussion.The conversation transitions into the topic of membership models, with Vincent sharing his belief that a strong membership foundation can drive success across various types of businesses. He explains how memberships not only provide financial stability but also cultivate community, allowing members to engage actively and share their experiences. The idea of starting small with memberships is reinforced; success can bloom from seemingly humble beginnings where four interested people can turn into a thriving community.Vincent's unique perspective on learning from failures and the necessity of starting, even from a low point, sheds light on the path to entrepreneurial accomplishment. His hilarious yet humbling story about a speaking engagement with an almost empty audience serves as a powerful reminder that the size of an audience is not as significant as the authentic connections made during any exchange.They also discuss the flexibility of membership models, emphasizing their adaptability based on the audience's needs. Vincent addresses the misconception that one must have a colossal following to launch a successful membership. Instead, he encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to identify their passions and create content that resonates with their intended audience, ultimately leading to organic community growth.As they shift gears, Vincent breaks down his own membership tiers, illustrating how they're structured to offer varying levels of engagement, from budget-friendly access to exclusive, higher-touch experiences. He explains the logic behind these tiers, showing how they create a funnel that allows members to choose their journey and find the most value where they need it most.Throughout the conversation, it becomes clear that Vincent epitomizes the belief that community fosters not just growth, but also sustainability in business. His approach resonates with anyone looking to build a business that prioritizes genuine relationships and shared success.HIGHLIGHTS:3:11 The Power of In-Person Connections5:28 Embracing Vulnerability in Entrepreneurship8:13 Lessons from Small Audiences11:31 The Importance of Origin Stories18:59 Discovering a New Passion23:58 The Appeal of Membership Models25:46 Understanding Membership Dynamics28:42 Customizing Your Membership Offer30:57 Building a Stadium for Your Business34:11 The Content and Connection Rivers41:06 Selecting the Right Membership Tier44:36 The Evolution of Memberships56:17 Freedom Over ContentCONNECT WITH VINCENT:WebsiteThe Wealth of Connection audio bookFacebookInstagram

  Vincent Pugliese, a former sports photographer turned entrepreneur, shares his transformative journey of creating meaningful experiences, building connections, and inspiring others to live with intention. From his spontaneous trip to the Rose Bowl to the deeply personal lessons learned from his late brother, Vince embodies the power of living authentically. His work focuses on helping people find freedom through creativity, community, and recurring revenue. Three Key Quotes: "Live your life. Eliminate the excuses. Do the work to make it happen." "Sales is not about doing something to someone; it's about doing something for someone." "You don't need funnels or big budgets; conversations and relationships are what create meaningful impact." Vincent Pugliese dives into his philosophy of living a life rich in experiences, honoring loved ones, and inspiring action through connection. Sharing personal stories and actionable advice, Vince challenges us to reframe how we approach decisions, social media, and community building to create freedom and purpose in our lives. Check out Vince at - https://mymembershipfreedom.com/ Find Your Catalyst at - https://www.findmycatalyst.com/  5 Key Takeaways: The Power of Spontaneous Experiences Don't wait for the "perfect time"—make the decision and act. Experiences leave lasting memories, not regrets. Facing loss can inspire a renewed commitment to living fully. Building a Legacy Through Stories Share personal stories to honor loved ones and connect with others. Vulnerability strengthens bonds and creates impact. Legacy is shaped by the relationships and experiences we leave behind. Reframing Social Media as a Tool for Connection Treat social platforms as a way to build attention, trust, and connections. Focus on creating valuable, authentic content. Personal engagement can lead to deeper relationships and greater impact. Embracing Mistakes and Uncertainty Mistakes are the greatest teachers; embrace them. Fear of imperfection often prevents meaningful action. Reframe challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. Freedom Through Recurring Revenue Prioritize recurring income streams to free your time for what matters most. Align your business with personal values like family and creativity. True freedom is the ability to choose experiences over obligations.

Vincent is first and foremost, a husband, father, and homeschooler.  Vincent and Elizabeth live in Bradenton, Florida with their 3 sons Andrew, Nolan, and Dylan. They are active in their community and church. Vincent is a friend to many and certainly to me! We go way back. You'll hear that story in this interview. Professionally, Vincent spent 22 years as a nationally-acclaimed & recognized photojournalist and sports photographer. But this career started to bore Vincent. Today, you'll see Vincent speaking on stages, leading masterminds & retreats, and hear him on hundreds of podcasts. He is the founder of Total Life Freedom and author of "Freelance to Freedom" and "The Wealth of Connection". Vincent and I have been close friends for nearly 8 years. I have personally watched him apply EVERY one of the 5 C's from the book he released today. This book is the life that Vincent has lived for decades. This process is different from the churn and burn funnels out there for creating business. Vincent has created a human approach to making business personal. It's called The Wealth of Connection. There are so many wide-ranging topics that Vincent covered in this interview. Clearly, we talked about our friendship and the influence we've had on each other. We discuss his career arc and how he made the leap into the online business world. The majority of the interview discusses topics from his new book and we end with a bold proclamation of what he wants this book to do for the world. I had a blast doing this interview and I highly encourage you to get this book!Here's some of my notes from the interview.Selfish versus generous goals - driven selfish goal-oriented people will absolutely hit their selfish goals. But, they will be empty. Frank Sinatra and audience of one - one person with one generous act can make all the difference.Charisma versus character - They both attract people, but only character lasts for a lifetime. Charisma with no character is like a pig with lipstick.Purpose to ask a question and sit in the front row of every event. This is an act of generosity as it validates the speakers platform and fuels the rooms energy. They will be appreciative and it's good for you.Curiosity - Tom Brady asking for the phone numbers of the entire team in Tampa and calling each one to connect and learn about them. Freddie Mercury learning about the culture of each concert area that he was performing at to connect with the audiences. Being curious is generous. Hour of giving - Develop the habit of generosity.  Read the Room - This was a huge blind spot for me personallyMy Takeaway - "I finally understood that I needed to change my character from one focused on selfish goals to one focused on generous goals. Now, I would have said that I was generous then, but looking back, I wasn't. I simply paid lip service to it. I did what I needed to do to get what I needed to get. Going from selfish goals to generous goals was the cornerstone to turning everything around." - Vincent Pugliese

This week on the podcast we are diving deep into the world of memberships with our insightful guest, Vincent Pugliese. Vincent has a wealth of experience from a varied entrepreneurial journey that's taken him from the constraints of a traditional job to the liberating world of business ownership, where he's found success and stability in memberships. Throughout our conversation, we'll cover the nitty-gritty of membership models across diverse business types, from personal trainers to auto mechanics, and how they can create a recurring revenue stream. Vincent shares his sharp perspective on market research, his take on the membership as a stadium model offering tiered content and access, as well as the limitations of one-on-one coaching. We'll get personal, too, as Vincent opens up about his own experiences—the financial instability that once struck his family and the mentor who helped shift his mindset towards entrepreneurship. We'll discuss why traditional brick-and-mortar businesses like Target are transitioning to memberships and preview an exclusive networking event happening in Sarasota, Florida, in 2025. Through Vincent's stories of confronting low pay in a job he loved to a health scare that prompted a pivotal shift in his career, we'll explore the importance of taking risks, continuously learning, and adapting in the face of change.

On the last episode, we started talking about your micro niche and building content. Today we're moving on to step two, which is connections. Some of you are great with connections, but a lot of you don't do it well. A lot of people want to start a podcast or a membership, but without the connections, the content is meaningless. You have to have conversations with people. Vincent Pugliese does this so well as he builds out his $9 a month membership—he has conversations. He gets on the phone with people, spending 30 or 40 minutes basically giving them a free coaching call. When he mentions the low-cost membership with Total Life Freedom School, they jump on it before he even gets to explain it all. The majority of people don't reach out and really care about another person. Your micro niche and your content are absolutely pointless if you don't have connections and don't build relationships with people. I've talked about the hour of giving in the past and I try to do this every day. I don't do it as well as Vincent, but part of what I do each day is connect with friends, clients, past clients, potential clients, and people I see on social media. So many of you hate social media because of all the superficial posts you see, but you aren't on social media trying to change that—if you don't like something, go and do something about it. Remember purposeful scrolling? I log into social media daily and think about the people I can connect with, help, and serve…and when I do that, those people want to promote me to others. I think of all the people who have connected me with other people who have helped me have success in my business. I helped them and they helped me. Interestingly, most of those people who come to mind are women. Maybe women are better at connections. I respond to every single message and text that I receive and sometimes they just say thank you and the conversation ends there, and I totally understand that. I'm not saying all this to make you think you're doing it all wrong, but the point is to ask how you can get better at it so you can build out an effective micro niche and produce content that will help people–maybe even have a membership or something one day. 99% of the guys that I interact with are terrible at this—most talk about sports, which is fine from time to time, but that's not going to grow your micro niche. Friday we're going to talk about the confluence and what happens when content and connections come together. On the last episode I had you write down some ideas about content. Today I want you to scroll through your text messages, Facebook messenger, WhatsApp, whatever social media you have. Reach out to 10 people you haven't spoken to in a week, or a month, or longer. Just reach out and check in. Tell them something you appreciate about them or that's been helpful to you. That's how you build connections. I started doing free social media audits and I still do them—you can book them, just message me and I will make it happen. It's not a pitch about the membership, it's so I can build a relationship and help you with social media (which I know is something that Realtors really need because I talk to Realtors every single week with what they're struggling with). So, if you want to be successful, content is important, but you can't do it without connections. Make those 10 calls or messages and tell those people you're thinking of them, praying for them, saw something that they would be interested in, or whatever. When you build connections, people want to help you. On the next episode we'll talk about confluence and how to put it all together. I'll see you then.Resources Free social media coaching calls are back! To schedule your free social media coaching call go to:

This is the first of a three-part series talking about what you need to serve your niche. I've watched Vincent Pugliese build out a $9 membership over the past few months that consists of an email that goes out every week and has shared so much with the TLF community. What I've learned as I watched him is that he has really mastered his micro niche—what he's good at and what he enjoys doing. Today we'll talk about your micro niche, which is the content. Wednesday we'll talk about connections and on Friday we'll finish up with the confluence of where those two things come together. So, for the past almost 300 episodes I've talked to you about real estate advice. This week is going to be a little different, but it will still apply to your real estate business. We'll be talking about how you can build an audience through the knowledge that you have and help people with it—whether it's a community mastermind group, video course, book, or email list. When you think about building a niche, you have to start with content. For some of us that's easy, we have a ton of ideas, but maybe it's hard for you. Think of what you enjoy and do something with that. A friend of mine, Aaron Hunt, has had a ton of success with his YouTube channel. In fact, he's monetizing it now and it will eventually replace his full-time income by making videos about something he enjoys—Japanese bait style fishing. It doesn't matter how old you are or if you already have a full-time job, if you can identify your niche, you can build something that can be successful and be a lot of fun. My membership has grown a ton, it's been a lot of fun, and I've had a lot of success with it. I just started with making content, producing it, and building it—building things that I wish would've been there when I was starting out in real estate—things that I wish would've been there as a new Realtor. I get to share that on the membership. So, I want you to think about what is the content that you have that maybe you've never realized you had. John Stange talks about the content waterfall, and we've had an episode about how to create yours. Think about what you wish you had known when you got into X? The same way I share how to have success in your real estate business, how to market a luxury listing, how to find balance with work and your family, how to use social media in your real estate career, and how to reassure the client that you are the best Realtor for the job? You need content. As you think of that micro niche, if you are having some confusion, I'm more than happy to talk to you about it. As you think about that niche or micro niche, think about what you are passionate about, what you want to talk about and do. I joke about having a podcast about the Philadelphia Phillies—I've had a great time here in Florida watching their spring training games. Maybe I'll have a podcast one day about that because I love it. Maybe I'll have a podcast about faith and marriage. I love real estate so much and I love having conversations about how to be a successful Realtor, how to use social media to grow your business, and love answering questions—that's my micro niche. If you're struggling with your niche, just write down ideas every day and you'll figure out what you enjoy doing. You'll figure out your micro niche and what content you should be producing. Google questions that people are asking in your field and answer them for your content. Answer the Public is a great site for finding questions that people want answered. Take those questions and answer them in an email, blog, or podcast—I encourage you to start today. Do it right now—write down three to five things you wish you would've known about something you're passionate about. I hope this is encouraging to you and we will continue to talk about it as we cover the connections on the next podcast followed by the confluence on Friday. I hope by the end of the week you get a better feel of what that niche and micro niche are,...

Today's episode was inspired by a few different conversations I've had since we've been in Florida. There have been a lot of people interested in how we were able to come away for a month. So, I want to talk about what makes all of this possible for us and why it's possible for anyone. It's all about choices and decisions. I watched Ken Carfagno and Vincent Pugliese both go away for a month at a time with their families and never dreamed it was possible for me, but then by learning from them, I realized that it could be a reality for us as well. It's possible for anyone depending on the choices and decisions they make. Many of you know that my wife and I paid off our house last summer and we had a year of living expenses in savings. We decided to take around $10,000 and go to Florida. We would still have plenty of money in savings and be able to do something we dreamed of and was important to our family. This kind of freedom is possible for you if you make choices about what is important to you and good decisions on how you use your money. When I talk to people about financial freedom and that journey, so many don't think it's possible for them, but then I see how much they spend on Starbucks, eating out, cigarettes and alcohol—and it's insane. We don't do any of that stuff. We don't spend money on car payments. One of my dreams is to own a Tesla, but I don't want the car payment. That's a choice we have made. When my wife and I talked about buying a Tesla, I realized that the root of it all was that I really wanted a nice radio with Apple CarPlay. So, my wife told me to go spend $500 on a nice radio with Apple CarPlay to put in my car—which is much better than a recurring car payment. I could afford a car payment, but we have two paid off cars—they aren't the nicest cars in the world, but certainly not the worst either. I upgraded my current car instead of getting my dream car. You can have the freedom, but you have to make the choices and decisions that are financially wise and live frugally. Even when we bought our new house, we kept it close to what we sold our old one for. We upgraded, but we didn't need a mansion. We wanted a garage; I wanted an office—but those were choices we made. I'll also tell you that those decisions get a lot easier when you can create a recurring income. If I have a membership that produces one to two thousand dollars a month, I can come to Florida twice with the money generated from the membership—and that membership is growing. Part of making those choices and decisions means that you don't mind investing in building relationships for your business and doing the work needed to be successful. Choices and decisions are a huge thing in our personal lives and our real estate business, so I would encourage you today that freedom is possible. Having success in real estate is possible. You can do anything if you can make some hard choices and decisions. Thank you for listening today. If I can ever help you with anything, let me know. I'll see you on the next episode.

Vincent Pugliese is a returning guest who used to be a very successful sports photographer, but it wasn't the life he wanted to live. He has built a business that fits into his lifestyle rather than fitting his life around his business. He now teaches people how to create businesses around their passion and do it in a way that helps them achieve time freedom.   Links: Total Life Freedom School - https://ryanreger.krtra.com/t/j5NBuCvZ1tCp

Don't be so busy creating that you stop growing. I often talk about Vincent Pugliese and the Mastermind group that I'm part of. He's really changed my life, and while I was at his retreat we talked about some hard things that really changed the trajectory of everything I'm doing in my business. As a Realtor, I thought that recurring income wasn't a possibility for me, but Vincent taught me otherwise. He taught through Total Life Freedom how to have recurring incomes so that you don't have to have all your work be service based. That week really changed my life and that brings me to the lesson for today. I started listening to Vincent's podcast after that retreat along with Ken Carfagno, Kent Sanders, and John Stange's podcasts. Listening to these shows changed my life—all of them were in the Total Life Freedom Mastermind with me at one point. It affected how I did business, how I interacted with people, how I served people, and how I grew my business. I've spent the last couple of years really devoted to my show and creating content for the membership. What I've learned is that I've gotten too busy creating content—and I don't want you to get so busy creating content or whatever in your business that you stop learning and growing. This is what I learned a few weeks ago when I realized I had been missing out on the podcasts I usually listen to because I had gotten so busy creating content that I had stopped my routine of consuming content and learning from others. It reminded me of the time I was in the ministry—you are pouring into people, but you feel like no one's pouring into you. You can spend so much time leading and teaching others that you never take the time to feed yourselves. You're just too busy. Part of my growth is listening to podcasts that cause me to improve as a dad—be a better person in my faith and with my family. They help me improve my business, become a better Realtor, and be a better leader for my membership community. So, I hope that you can really get the point that you can be so busy creating that you stop consuming—stop learning. Don't be so busy that you are not consuming, learning, and growing yourself. I hope this is helpful for you guys. It's important to keep learning and growing whether that's reading books or listening to podcasts—whatever feeds you. Always keep learning and growing. Thanks for listening and I'll see you on the next podcast. Resources Free social media coaching calls are back!

Today's episode is all about dreams. We've talked about dreams before on the show and about working hard for our goals, but today I want to encourage you to have a big dream. While doing real estate coaching in the membership I see so many people talk about the dreams they have, but they don't have the goals to get there. I love the quote, “A goal without a dream, without a goal, is just a wish.” So many are just wishing for success. Today we check into our Airbnb here in Florida for a five-week stay and I'm pumped. My in-laws are coming down to visit and we'll check out a few spring training baseball games. We have several family members coming down at different points and we're really excited. But how did this get started? I've mentioned my friends Vincent Pugliese and Ken Carfagno in previous podcasts. I watched Vincent and his wife Elizabeth build a life of freedom where they could travel every day and I told myself I wanted that for my family. I dreamed about it, but I didn't do anything about it. I worked a W2 job where I got maybe three weeks off a year…I would never have been able to spend five weeks in Florida like I am now. I had the dream, but I didn't have any goals to get there. So, I encourage you to dream big, but have big goals to go along with them so that you can make it happen. Remember, a dream without a goal is just a wish. Once I got into mastermind and had some success in real estate, I told my wife that if we could pay off the house, we could book a month in Florida. At first it seemed crazy, but the more success I had the more the dream seemed possible. We worked hard, paid off the house, and booked the Airbnb in Florida. We've dreamed about being here for the past nine months. I love real estate and the opportunities that it's presented to me. I love that I can take time and be with my family. I'm here for five weeks, but I'll still work every day—maybe an hour or so in the morning or evening. I'll still record podcasts and still be interacting with real estate clients. The cool thing I learned from Vincent was total life freedom—time, money, and location freedom. This is one of the reasons I've doubled down on the efforts to grow the membership, because if I'm providing value and the membership is growing like it has been, I can build the membership to the point where it produces a decent income. I would have the freedom to be on a beach in Florida, the mountains in Poconos, or travel the world and go to Italy. I'm able to work anywhere I go. In a span of three months the membership went from making very little money to having a recurring $1,500 a month. That amount hasn't changed my life, but $1,500 a month is $18,000 per year—and I did that in just a few months. Imagine if I continue to double and triple down on growing the membership—imagine multiplying the current amount by 5—then I go from $18,000 a year to $90,000. That sounds impossible until you start. That's why we'll talk more in the next few weeks and months about building things to have multiple streams of income. That dream you have is possible if you have the right goals. I see myself continuing to grow the membership, I'd love to be at $5000 by the end of the year—and that would be $60,000 a year. That would allow me to sell less houses and to be able to pour more into my members and growing the community. I want to encourage you to have a dream and a goal—remember you need to have both. Our dream was to pay off the house and have money to travel to Florida. The goal was to save the money to pay off the house and still have money left over to be able to take a month off. The thing I love most about the business I've created is that I can work from anywhere. I can still talk and work with clients, still rate contracts, and still do my membership calls from the poolside or the beach. I have the freedom to do those things, so let me encourage you—your dream may seem like a long way off, but it's not too far off. Remember, I was...

Your life, and your freedom are really up to you. Today's guest started out as a freelance sports photographer, and pursued that passion until it turned into the life he always wanted to live. Today's guest on the Manlihood ManCast is Vincent Pugliese Vincent Pugliese is an award-winning sports photographer, entrepreneur, author, and founder of Total Life Freedom School and Mastermind. Vincent earned his Bachelor's degree in Communication from Ohio University, where he was named National Champion for the William Randolph Hearst Photojournalism Championship prior to graduation. He has photographed for all leading wire services and various national and local publications throughout the United States, including major sporting and news events such as the Super Bowl, World Series, NHL Final, NBA Conference Finals, The Kentucky Derby, and Wrestlemania. Vincent's passion for freedom has led him to believe that having control over your time, money, and the work you do is the ultimate key to living a life of freedom. He homeschools his three boys with his wife Elizabeth, and together they teach others how to achieve total life freedom. Vincent's new book, Freelance to Freedom, provides a roadmap for creating a side business to achieve financial, time, and life freedom, and it was published by Morgan James Publishing in early 2018.

Last week I was at PodFest, connecting and meeting with people and supporting my friends. When it was time to leave, I had a conversation with someone who didn't feel like they made the connections I did—that the event wasn't valuable. This person was a friend of mine, so we interacted a bit, and I noticed that every time we would go into a session, they would sit in the back. That's why they weren't making connections. I learned from Vincent Pugliese, Ken Carfagno, and John Stange that you only make connections by putting yourself out there and introducing yourself. You have to drag that extroverted side out of you at events. Justin Schenck has an amazing podcast and is considered an influencer. I've had him on the show, and he's been a great encourager. Sunday when things were wrapping up, he invited me to come sit down with group of big influencers he was with, and I was able to meet some amazing people. Being willing to put yourself out there is how you make connections and meet people that will be in your corner and include you—when you don't really have the audience or the relationships to sit with people who are influencers of that level. This friend who hid in the back of the class didn't ask any questions, didn't support the people who were speaking, and therefore didn't make any connections. He didn't have the amazing experience that I had at PodFest this year. I sat in front, asked questions, raised my hand, and introduced myself and my podcast when I was called on. I met so many people that way. At Podcast Movement this past year, my friend Ariel called me out and asked me to talk about my podcast simply because I asked a question. As a result, I connected with a bunch of Realtors and my show grew a lot. However, people who come to the events, sit on the sidelines, and don't try to make connections leave feeling shocked that they didn't build any relationships or get anything out of the event. If you have a platform and you're trying to build it like I'm trying to build mine, let this be a lesson for you. This is a lesson for Realtors as well. Why are you not making connections and meeting people? Are you spending too much time hiding in the back of the class? Of course, you don't want to be that person who comes in like a bull in a China shop—dominating the conversation—there has to be balance, but get out there. Don't sit in the back, staring at your phone. Introduce yourself to the speaker and thank them for their time. Put yourself out there—go out in your community, serve at church, serve for nonprofit organizations, or just go sit at the coffee shop and have conversations with anyone who comes in. Ask to buy them a cup of coffee. There are so many ways to grow your business and if you are continuing to struggle, you are not using the resources available to you. I told my friend that if you hide in the back of the room, the back of the class, you won't make any connections. They didn't like what I had to say, but it was true. I would encourage you in whatever you're building—your podcast, membership, real estate business, or whatever to build relationships. Show up and put yourself out there. If you can do this, you will create success. Thank you so much for listening. Resources Free social media coaching calls are back!

What's next? I've been asked that question frequently over the past month. Some thought I was stopping the podcast, or changing the format or length, etc. First of all, things are not changing—I'm so excited with what we're doing with the podcast, how we continue to grow, and am thankful for all of you. I took a break from recording new episodes the last couple of weeks in December as we moved to a new home. We took January to get settled in and take a mental break. It was a fun break, but I couldn't wait to get back to it. This is the longest I've gone in the past two years without recording a podcast episode, so it feels weird, but I'm fired up about the things that are coming. The biggest thing for us right now is the move and getting settled in the new house. We listed our old home, and after three weeks, we got a great offer and are looking forward to settlement in March. The next big thing for us will be a month-long trip to Florida the middle of February. We're excited about having real estate in a good enough place that I can take time away with my family. It will be a nice few weeks away from the cold and it's really been a dream of ours that has come out of paying off our house and being debt free. Our families will come down to visit with us during that stay, so it's going to be great. This is exactly the freedom Vincent Pugliese taught me about. I've watched him and his family go for a month here and there, enjoying time together, but I never thought it was possible for me. But here we are, so that's a big “what's next” for us. Even though I'll be away for a five-week vacation, I'll still have responsibilities for the team that I'll work on every day, and I'll still be recording podcast episodes. I'll be sharing what we're learning in our season in Florida and our journey there. Maybe I'll go to a Phil's game one afternoon, work a couple of hours in the morning or evening. I'll have plenty of time to enjoy being in Florida with our families. The only thing I won't be doing is showing houses—I can still make offers, write contracts and send them, and be on FaceTime or Zoom looking at houses with them. The cool thing about real estate right now is that so much of it is done digitally. My clients have been super supportive of it. I'll also be exploring opportunities that have come out of the podcast and exploring the membership, which is growing and up by about 25-30 people. What's next for that is to double down and help people grow their real estate business with low cost, but high value membership through the Real Estate Survival Guide membership community. We're also going to have that second-tier people were asking for, the Real Estate Survival Guide Mastermind Community. I'm going to continue coaching, although I'm super limited on that. I don't want to coach all day, every day, because it takes up so much time, but it will be a small part of what I do. We also hope to explore opportunities in our family of rentals. I've been looking at places in Pennsylvania and some in Florida—Airbnb's and things like that with higher risk, but higher reward. The biggest thing remains helping people—helping Realtors find success. That's what I love doing, so I just want to continue having great conversations with people about real estate and putting out that free content three times a week. I really appreciate you listening, and if you want to help me out, think of one person you can share the podcast with and pass it along. I would really appreciate it and it would help the show tremendously if each of the hundreds of people who listen every month share it with just one person. I'll see you guys on Wednesday with our first interview of the year, and it will be a great one. Looking forward to it. Resources Free social media coaching calls are back!

Success for Vincent Pugliese is freedom, and time. It's not the same for everyone, but for him it's the ability, and freedom to go where he wants, when he wants, and not be tied down. He shares that he is now "unemployable" because he has the discipline to maintain this freedom that he cherishes in his life so much. There's a balance in this drive, and motivation to work and freedom.

On today's episode, we are continuing part two of my story. It's funny because originally, I was going to do eight episodes to tell my story, but I felt like I was leaving out a major part of my life during that time—the mental breakdown that occurred after that February 19, 2019. This episode was actually the last episode I recorded after deciding that I don't care what people think. I feel like I need to share this part of my story for others, like my friend Josh, who have struggled with their own mental health battles. I hope that this encourages you if you are battling things mentally and are struggling. I hope this encourages you to have hope and faith. If you're not struggling, there are people around you who are that you can help. Going back to that day, February 26, 2019, I didn't want to live anymore—I thought my life was over. I felt like I had unjustly been fired from a job that I was successful at—that I had never been disciplined for once. In fact, I had received multiple promotions with multiple institutions. I was shell-shocked and hopeless. I called my friend Vincent Pugliese, who is amazing, and he told me that it was actually the best day of my life because I could build something in the entrepreneurial world, but at the time I was in no place to hear it. I felt worthless. As people learned I had lost my job, they criticized and judged me, saying mean and hurtful things instead of supporting me. They accused me of hiding the real reason I lost my job. I spent the next three or four months spiraling downward, thinking of killing myself every day. There were many hard conversations and tears between Valerie and I during that time. Through it all, the support she gave me was incredible and I love her so much. Pregnant with our first child, she called me from work multiple times a day to make sure I was alive. She made me promise that I would be here when she got home from work in the evening. I am convinced that I wouldn't be here without her constant encouragement—her insistence that she needed me and was proud of me. That time in my life embarrasses me now, and I never thought I would share this journey with anyone—but in September of 2020, my friend Josh posted on Facebook about wanting to kill himself. I spent days trying to track him down, messaging his friends and family members, to do everything I could to make sure he didn't take his own life. I finally connected with Josh after he had spent some time in the hospital getting help. He told me I could never understand because my life was “perfect”. I cried as I talked to him on the phone, sharing my story. He was shocked that someone who seemed to “have it all together” and looked so happy could struggle with their mental health and have suicidal thoughts. This is when I realized I had an obligation to share my story, not for my benefit or to look good, but because I didn't want one other person to consider taking their own life because they thought no one else could understand. I still check in with Josh and try to encourage him because I have also learned that mental health struggles are not something you deal with once and they're gone—it's something that you must stay vigilant and fight against. You may only struggle every couple of years, or it could be a monthly or daily battle. Less than two weeks after talking to Josh, I attended my first Total Freedom Life retreat. That weekend changed my life—it gave me meaning and purpose, and I no longer felt alone as many do in business and their entrepreneurial life. I had my board of directors and my TLF family. I grew spiritually and emotionally. At the time, I told very few friends and almost no family about my struggles because I felt judged and looked down upon. I wasn't interested in their criticism, so there were only a couple people I could trust, a few friends and my wife—people who just loved and cared about me. I wouldn't be here without a handful of amazing people—in the deepest and darkest...

Honestly, telling people about the importance of meaningful connections in business today almost seems trite. Unfortunately, many of us, myself included, aren't as good as we need to be or want to be at actually making and maintaining meaningful connections. But what if we had a system for doing it? And what if we could understand the 5 most important aspects of gaining and maintaining connections? What that help? I hope so – because that's what we're talking about in this episode. In my conversation with Vincent Pugliese, we discuss how building a network consistently over time, through a lens of generosity rather than selfishness, is what will help us build connections that will pay off (and not just financially!). Along the way, we talk about standards and expectations in relationships, the importance of spending time on and with people who value what you do, and the collaborative elements of connection.

It's really sad sometimes how often I talk to someone on a social media coaching call and the person just feels frustrated. They feel like they're at the end of their rope in real estate, like they're not going to make it, and they're looking for some piece of encouragement. Of course, I encourage them, and I mean it—most of these people really have what it takes to succeed in real estate—they just have to believe in themselves. When I went through so much in my life, especially after losing my job in 2019, my cheerleader was my wife. So many people, most of my friends and family, deserted me and doubted me. The one cheerleader I really had was Valerie—she cheered for me. I've often used that example to say that you don't need hundreds or thousands or even a dozen people cheering for you. You really only need one cheerleader. If you can just find that one person, whether it be a spouse, best friend, someone at your church, or in your family to cheer for you, you will have the energy to get back up and keep going. I want to share a wonderful story about Frank Sinatra that I heard from Vincent Pugliese. The story goes that Frank Sinatra nearly walked away from performing at the age of 78. Frank was performing one night and after three or four songs, he blanked out. The music was playing, and he just stood there saying he was sorry repeatedly. Finally, the music stopped and there was silence. Would he walk off the stage and call it quits? He had actually started to do just that when a voice from the back of the audience cried out, “It's ok Frank. It's ok because we love you.” With those words the audience began to applaud and cheer. Frank turned back and returned to centerstage and carried on with the rest of the concert as if he were 19 again—he killed every song. That one person gave Frank Sinatra the energy, the passion, and the motivation to continue his career. There are two lessons to take away from this, the first is that you don't know the impact you can have on people you don't know—the people that are struggling mentally, that are struggling in their business—that you can encourage and be a big piece of helping them survive in the real estate business. The second lesson is that you don't need everyone cheering for you—you just need one person. Stop looking for everyone to applaud for you, for everybody to cheer for you and be a massive supporter of what you're doing. Who can you encourage? Who is struggling out there—a friend, family member—who can you help and pray for and encourage in their life, in their business? Maybe you can be that person that gets them from the ashes through the next two years. What you need is one person who's going to stick by you—be a great friend, be a great mentor, and encourage you. If you have that person cheering you on, have you thanked that person? Do they even know about the impact they've made on your life? So, find that person that can encourage you, and then once you get to a healthy and good state, go and be that person for somebody else. I hope this is helpful for you in your business.

Do you homeschool kids? Why or why not? Which one of the 5 Love Languages do you derive your self-worth from? Is there a such thing as "total life freedom"? In this episode, fellow Author & Podcast Host, Vincent Pugliese, explains it all.

Recently on a Mastermind call, Vincent Pugliese talked about the three-year journey everyone goes through in their business. I want to share it with you and how it has worked in my real estate business. I hope it encourages you and helps you in your struggle. Vincent describes the first year of any business as pain—the struggles of starting a business and everything that goes into that. The second year is trying to find balance, and the third year on is where you can begin to find some freedom. I found it interesting because my real estate business is three years old, going on four, my podcast is going on two years, and the membership community is not even a year old. I didn't plan to, but I've added something new every year and it makes me wonder what's in store for the next 12 months. But I've seen each of these stages with my business—pain, balance, and freedom. That first year was spent working a lot, trying to make money. In the second year the income was there, but I was trying to balance work, family, and faith—how to spend my time. Now I've managed to find that freedom that allows me to do pretty much whatever I want to do. I really want to encourage you—I know how hard the pain of that first year is. You'll figure out a system and you'll start to get some balance and then you'll move into that third year of freedom. Don't be discouraged—you'll get there—and one day that business will run like a well-oiled machine.

Today I want to talk to you about your entrepreneurial solar system. Monday, we talked a little about your content waterfall, but today I want to expand on that. I learned all this from Vincent Pugliese when he showed it to us at a Total Life Freedom retreat a couple of weeks ago in Florida. The entrepreneurial brain is always wanting to build something—the challenge is exciting. I never want to be restricted to one income. I want to have it all diversified—I never want to be dependent on one thing—and the more you build out your solar system, the less you are. For example, I'm doing real estate, doing things for the team, social media, coaching, training, the membership, the group calls on Monday—making money on all those things. People in the membership pay for one-on-one coaching, I make money from the podcast and being a guest on shows…Why? Well, because it all leads back to what I'm selling, right? My membership, my podcast, the things I'm building. And that's really where I want to encourage you. You need to build multiple streams of income to support what you're doing to get in front of people and create content that people find helpful. What is your solar system? Some of you barely have a planet, right? Some of you haven't thought about these things, and you need to. You need to be thinking about the things you can do, the content you can produce that people want. The biggest thing for some of you is to just talk about your business. You've got to step out of your comfort zone. What in your business could you grow and expand? What could you grow by reaching out to people—by having an email list, a blog, social media, content, videos? All these different things are valuable to your business. Grow the arms of your business—grow your solar system—expand your reach with different ideas, topics, and different business opportunities as well as producing content that people can find on multiple platforms. I hope that you can think about this in your business and expand your entrepreneurial solar system.Podcast edited by Kenny Carfagno.Show notes and blog posts are created by Jennifer Harshman and RealtorEmails.

Vincent's new book, Freelance to Freedom, the roadmap for creating a side business to achieve financial, time and life freedom. On this episode we learn more about how Vincent got his start with sports photography. 

Today's guest first visited the show back in Episode #223. I also invited to speak at my online conference back in 2019 called the Boss-Free Virtual Summit. His name is Vincent Pugliese and, over the years, he's gone from professional sports photographer to staring his own business and, now, to sharing what he's learned in […] The post 440: A New Approach to Making Business Personal with Vincent Pugliese first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

“You have a skill, but you're not using it correctly.” That the tough love advice Vincent Pugliese's father gave him. Vincent was working what he thought was his dream job as a photojournalist. He'd just won the most prestigious award in his industry (International Sports Photographer of the Year), and he and his wife Elizabeth had a baby on the way. Yet the newspaper job didn't pay well. With the impending arrival of their son, Vincent took a hard look at his financial picture: he was in his mid-30s, 6-figures in debt, and earning $15 an hour. Not great. Something had to change, and something did. Full show notes

The most fulfilling relationships are the ones where each person can be their true selves. Many times though, selfish goals are put above selfless ones. Vincent Pugliese admits he used to put his own goals above all else, but when he never reached the true happiness he was seeking, he changed his mindset. He's here today to share why character is important for building a true connection and why character and charisma are not interchangeable. During our headline segment, we dive into financial planning as a career. A recent piece shows that financial advisors are staying in the role well past the typical retirement age. We share why that is and give you all the details on what it takes to become a financial advisor. And, of course, Doug will share his trivia. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.
