C-Roc introduces Deacon Hayes, who paid off $52,000 of debt in 18 months and now helps others achieve financial freedom. Deacon discusses his challenging upbringing with divorced parents, a mother on welfare, and a father in jail, emphasizing perseverance as a crucial trait in overcoming personal and financial obstacles. Initially believing debt was necessary, Deacon realized it perpetuated a paycheck-to-paycheck cycle. Learning from successful people and financial books like Rich Dad Poor Dad and Total Money Makeover he adopted Dave Ramsey's debt snowball method to eliminate his debt. Deacon also values using credit cards wisely for rewards and prefers index funds over mutual funds for their lower costs and better performance. He shares his real estate investment experience during the 2007-2008 crash, stressing the importance of risk calculation and considering all potential costs. Deacon's career transitioned from wood flooring sales to financial planning and eventually to running his financial website, Well Kept Wallet. A significant turning point was a local TV feature that brought substantial traffic and revenue to his website. Deacon highlights the importance of a clear call to action in PR and media appearances, using search engine optimization (SEO) to attract consistent traffic, and engaging his audience with valuable content and challenges like the $1,000 savings challenge.

A lot of people in the financial independence community successfully get out of debt, but not many of them get out of debt and then start a monthly six-figure side business. One person who has done that is Deacon Hayes. Deacon was raised by a single mother on welfare who taught Deacon that debt was a way of life. When Deacon married his wife, they both collectively realized that the only way for them to live the life they wanted to, was to get out of debt.Deacon did whatever he could to pay off his debt. He delivered pizzas and resold furniture, all while working full time. Once he was out of debt, he decided his passion was in teaching others how to get rid of their debt, so he became a financial planner and started his website, Well Kept Wallet. His story was so well received that he was brought on to record with Fox and tell their audience about his debt-free journey.Deacon left the financial planning world after realizing he didn't want to just help the rich, but the average person who still struggled with debt. To subsidize his business, he started a website building business, but later automated this and kept the lion's share of the profit while doing very little work. He started an SEO (search engine optimization) business and did the exact same thing. Then as Well Kept Wallet was bringing in massive revenue numbers, he did the same, hiring another worker to fill his role so he could focus on what he loves.

Today I'm talking about semi-passive income with Deacon Hayes. Deacon is the founder and CEO of Wellkeptwallet.com and he talks about his 13-year journey to creating a recurring revenue-based business that more than provides for his family. Deacon shares how he got his start, the trial and errors he had to go through to grow his business, and what it's like now. Deacon offers up suggestions for how to get way more done without all kinds of obstacles coming up along the way (worth listening to the conversation just to hear how he came across this teaching and how you can apply it to your life too!) Finally Deacon shares about the opportunities that have come up to sell his company and yet when he listens to his conscience and tunes into the goals he's had for the website from the beginning he notices how not all buyers share his same interests and goals. Sharing with us how this journey for him hasn't just been about the money and cashing out, which is really touching and important to consider. I loved learning about how Deacon thinks about quality time and freedom and the fact that he loves what he does and that is worth more than most people ever talk about. Enjoy! Deacon Hayes is the Founder of WellKeptWallet.com which helps over 500,000 people per month make money, pay off debt, and invest. He has been a contributor for the US News & World Report, Investopedia, Clark Howard, and more. He is also the author of the book, You Can Retire Early! Everything You Need to Achieve Financial Independence When You Want It. He shared this - So, I had this mentor and he said something that's really insightful to me. He said to me: "Deacon, you should be retiring towards something not away from something". Because I think what most people when they want passive income, they're like I want to get away from this - this job that I hate, this commute, this lifestyle, you know, that I'd rather live something else. And, I think of the challenges is you get away from it, and you're like, now what? Versus being really clear in painting that picture of what would I want to be retired towards? Well, I want to have meaningful work. I want to have flexibility in my schedule. I want to be able to travel. I want to be able to be there for my kids' activities. These are things that are going towards. And, so then you start to create that passive income or that lifestyle or that business that then provides what you want to go towards. And then when you get there, you're like "Oh this is awesome..."

After a few years of working with high net worth individuals, I realized I wanted something more. I wanted to reach the average person who was looking to better their financial lives. I then switched gears to figure out how to help people make money, save money and pay off debt; but this time through this website. I have had the privilege to be a writer for US News and World Report as well as Clark Howard. I also have been featured in many news publications including Yahoo Finance, US News & World Report, Forbes, CNN Money, and more. In 2017, I got a publishing deal with Adams Media (a division of Simon and Schuster) where I wrote the book: You Can Retire Early! Everything You Need to Achieve Financial Independence When You Want It. ~ You can find Deacon Hayes on… Twitter: https://twitter.com/deaconhayes LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deacon-hayes-767b7b3/ Website: https://wellkeptwallet.com/deacon-hayes/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5tJ29CLYZsqUE40dlgWXMw For all resources mentioned in the show check out *www.applecrider.com/resources* ( http://www.applecrider.com/resources ) For more personal finance and entrepreneurship subscribe to my YouTube channel -- *www.youtube.com/applecrider* ( http://www.youtube.com/applecrider )

He is also the author of the book, You Can Retire Early! Everything You Need to Achieve Financial Independence When You Want It.   “Opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.” Deacon Hayes   My Worst Investment Ever Life before the devastating investment Hayes lived and worked in Phoenix, Arizona before his big fall and his subsequent rise from the ashes. Like most Americans, he had his fair share of debt but had so far managed to find a balance with his income. However, he loved his job and his life and lived by his philosophy of following his passions. Until he came across the opportunity that changed his whole life. Real estate fad covers country in early 2000s The early 2000s were times of great financial stability. It was a time of prosperity and growth in the world of finance with all markets from the stock market to currency exchange achieving record highs. The real estate market, in particular, was doing really well, with that being described as the age of the real estate boom. With emotions running high, Hayes decided to take a risk on the market. Investing for him meant the possibility of having a debt-free life, and it was too good an opportunity to pass. So having done his homework he decided to buy not one but two condos. Investor gives in to ARM loans’ allure The first mistake that Hayes made was taking a huge risk on multiple investments without being fully informed about the real estate market. He had a payment option ARM (adjustable rate mortgage) plan. In a nutshell, this would allow him to make a small minimum investment with variable interests which seemed like a good idea. In retrospect, giving in to this allure is the worst mistake he made given how much he ended up losing. Financial crisis begins in 2007, put all his net worth at risk Between 2007 and 2008, half of the U.S. suffered the worst market crash in real estate history. For a number of reasons, property values plummeted while interest rates shot through the roof. Hayes, alongside many other Americans, felt this major blow. And as a result of his poor risk management, he was at risk of losing not just his two condos but a majority of his net worth. When it rains, it pours So here was Hayes, in his early 20s, hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and had lost up to 95% of his net worth. Sounds pretty bad huh? Well, it got worse for him. See the land that his two troubled condos were built on was on a lease that ran out soon after the market crash. This meant that his Homeowners Associated (HOA) fee payments would go up. And boy did they go up; by more than 300% to be exact. Struggling to stay afloat while drowning in debt For the next several years (a decade to be exact), it was an uphill battle to keep financially afloat. Despite having double income through his wife and some investments in the stock market, he did not have enough money to rescue let alone sustain his properties. He was also in constant conflict between dumping the seemingly rotten investments and finding ways to save them. He tried everything from cutting costs to paying off the loans to finding multiple tenants for the property. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. He lost one condo a few years after the crash through foreclosure after failing to find someone to buy it. The other one went soon after, and despite finding a buyer and escaping bankruptcy, he ended up selling it at a loss of $40,000. Ten years later, Hayes is finally free. It was a rough several years, and he lost a lot; there is no doubt. But he also learned a lot from his experiences on risk management and how to avoid loss. Lessons learned Here are some of his lessons so you too can avoid making bad investments and losing more than you are ready to. Do your research Investing is more than just having a gut feeling that a market will go up. You need to research. Learn as much as possible about the risks, rewards, and everything that could go devastatingly wrong. And only after understanding the good, bad and the ugly should you take out that check book. Minimize your risks Risks are inevitable when it comes to investments. However, unnecessary risks are purely out of choice. It is important to minimize your risks as much as possible when investing, especially in real estate. The best way to do this is by making a decent-sized deposit with rates that favor you. That way, you will manage to pay off the mortgage sooner and with less interest. If this means getting one investment at a time, then do it. Some risks are just not worth taking. Don’t go all-in on a new investment Whether it is a new company in the stock market or some new investment fad, it is never a good idea to give it all you have. It doesn’t matter how good the deal seems. Instead, invest a little at a time as you get to understand the market through different financial seasons. Don’t bite off more than you can chew Avoiding loss is all about taking risks that you can manage. Hayes made a huge mistake buying two condos at the same time when his income could not cover both. This left him vulnerable to the major loss he suffered as it became harder to save both condos with limited resources. Don’t make decisions out of excitement or emotion Never mix money with emotions. It really doesn’t matter how excited you are at the prospects of big wins. Take the feelings out of it, think critically about it, and make a sound decision based on fact. You don’t have to invest in all fads; opportunities never stop coming As Richard Branson so famously said, “opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming”. So don’t panic and enter a market because you are afraid of missing out on the investment (a phenomenon known as Fear of Missing Out [FOMO]). Take as much time as you need to be ready for that major move. And if the chance passes you by don’t regret anything, a greater opportunity is sure to follow. Andrew’s takeaways From this story one lesson stands out the most; you do not have to take every opportunity that comes your way. It doesn’t matter how promising or even how cheap it is. Here, you have to fight your instinct to follow the hype and go with your emotions. It will take a lot out of you but it will also save you a lot of disappointment and loss down the line. Actionable advice Beware of the fear of missing out (FOMO). There is nothing worse than getting into an investment simply because it is a trend and you want in on it. Instead, take as much time as you need to understand the market and your options. If after your research and time to think it still seems like a good idea then go for it. No. 1 goal for next the 12 months For Hayes. The future seems bright with his successful online. He hopes to have reached 2 million readers on his website as a way to enlighten more people on how to handle debt for a healthy financial life. Parting words   That brings us to the end of Deacon Hayes’ incredible story. I hope you learnt enough from his loss to secure yourself big wins in future.

Today, I'm excited to bring you another interview for the podcast!  I had the opportunity to chat with Deacon Hayes from WellKeptWallet.com and discuss how he's grown such a large website.   I love the story of Well Kept Wallet for a couple of reasons.  First, Deacon has been able to grow the site to over $100,000 a month in revenue!  But secondly, his site was not an overnight success.  In fact, it took him about 5 years to grow the site to over $1,000 a month. So, the first lesson here is that often the rewards come to those who stick with it. However, Deacon also has some great SEO tips to share.  Most of the traffic to the site is coming from Google, and so I wanted to dive into the details of what is workings in terms of his SEO strategy. Enjoy the podcast!

Want to learn how to become debt-free and financially independent? It doesn’t have to be one or the other, you can dig yourself out of debt and retire early. Just take it from Deacon Hayes from Well Kept Wallet who was able to pay of $52,000 in debt in only 18 months, then become financially independent and retire early with his family. If he can do it, why not you? Long description: Deacon Hayes, the blogger and podcaster behind Well Kept Wallet, was knee deep in debt to the tune of $52,000 in 2010. But instead of digging himself further and further into the whole, he decided to take responsibility and dig himself out. He started by looking to the experts, other bloggers and authors that offered personal finance advice, and was able to implement their strategies to become debt-free in only 18 months! Now, he’s all about educating others to do the same. But he doesn’t just focus on helping others become debt-free, he also wants to share how they can become financially independent and retire early too. That’s certainly never something he thought he’d be able to accomplish, but now, in 2018, he is financially independent and technically an early retiree. But instead of drinking Pina Coladas on the beach somewhere, early retirement to him means being able to afford to do what he wants with each day. And what he wants to do is educate and inspire others to take control of their finances so they can live the lives they really want. How to Become Debt-Free So, in this episode we talk about a lot of things, but first let’s talk about debt repayment. Honestly, at the end of the day, to get a handle on your spending and debt, there are two simple things you need to do. Reduce your expenses Make more money If you actually implement both things, you’ll be able to become solvent once again. It may take some time (longer than 18 months), but even if it takes a few years, these two things are key and they work! Deacon also recommends the cash envelope system for reigning in spending, and having monthly money meetings with yourself or your partner to talk about your budget, your spending and net worth, and your future goals you’re working towards (and I totally agree!). How to Become Financially Independent Now, let’s talk early retirement. In order to achieve financial independence, there are three paths you can follow (though technically you don’t have to pick just one, you can do a combination or all three): Invest in real estate Invest in the stock market (no more than 10% individual stocks, then diversify your portfolio with index funds and ETFs) Earn more money through entrepreneurship And to help guide you and give you examples on how to do this, Deacon share real-life case studies on his website.

Listen to this conversation to hear Deacon’s point of view on finding your why. Retire towards something, not away from something Do you have antiquated ideas about retirement?

Like me, Deacon feels that retirement is an opportunity to live your life with purpose. He says that you should retire towards something, not away from something. Deacon shares with me a wealth of excellent information on today’s show about how retirement is changing and the traditional way of spending our golden years may be a thing of the past. I think you’re going to like what he has to say, so listen in to hear more!   Do you really need millions of dollars in the bank to retire? So now that we know that you won’t be spending your retirement the same way that your parents and grandparents did, how will you fund this new form of retirement? Maybe you don’t need to have millions of dollars saved up in your 401k. I love talking to Deacon since he really thinks outside the box. Listen to this discussion to hear about some innovative ways of making money in your twilight years. How to deal with life outside the paycheck Since Deacon advocates early retirement and finding different ways of making money, how does he deal with the instability of not having a steady paycheck?

Deacon Hayes from WellKeptWallet.com on the show today and I could not be more excited! Why? Well, I often tell people Deacon is the “Dad” of Money Peach because it was a meeting with Deacon over a cup of coffee in the corner of Starbucks where the idea for Money Peach was born. Fast forward over the past few years and Deacon and I are great friends AND now we are also in the same niche within our businesses. However, what makes our relationship so unique is we have never viewed each other as competition, but rather as allies who are consistently trying to help one another out. Deacon started his blog (Well Kept Wallet) in 2010 and since then has grown his blog into a healthy 6-figure business, multiple streams of income, and now the release of his new book, “You Can Retire Early”. Deacon is my favorite kind of entrepreneur - the kind who has consistently worked his butt off for years, has gone through a ton of ups and downs, and is now seen as an overnight success….seven years in the making. Deacon shares how he has done it all and holds nothing back for you to learn and get you to take that next step in whatever it may be.

On today’s episode of The Art of Paid Traffic, I’m pumped to be joined by Facebook ads manager Andrew Hubbard. Andrew is one of my original students and now runs Facebook ads for some very successful online entrepreneurs. One such client is my guest from last week’s episode, Melyssa Griffin, who shared how she’s created a 7-Figure Automated Webinar Funnel in 18 Months. If you haven’t yet heard that episode, definitely check it out here. You don’t have to listen to it before today’s episode, but it will definitely give you some context for my conversation with Andrew today. We dive into how Andrew left his corporate job to start his Facebook ads business, what he initially charged (and how his pricing has evolved over the past couple of years) and how he niched down to find his ideal client to work with. Then we dive into the specifics of how he runs the Facebook ads for Melyssa Griffin’s 7-figure automated webinar funnel. In the episode, you’ll learn: The technique Andrew used to land his first big clients What mindset he always uses when determining his pricing What types of images work the best for Andrew’s campaigns for Melyssa Why he started with warm traffic for Melyssa Griffin’s campaigns, and the testing process that was used Why Andrew is putting so much focus on video ads, and we talk about what  types of videos are working best for him, including what’s being said in those videos Two challenges Andrew faced when scaling the ad spend How he uses Conversion window to test and scale (you know, when Conversions is your Objective you can choose whether you want to optimize for like 1-day click or 7-day click…) We dive into Andrew’s split testing strategy A comparison on how mobile, desktop and Instagram ads are performing against each other for Melyssa Griffin’s campaigns And a whole lot more... It’s been really cool to see Andrew’s evolution as a Facebook ads manager, from taking my FB Ads For Newbies course years ago to where he is now. Next week, Deacon Hayes of Well Kept Wallet visits the show to share how he’s using Facebook ads to amplify his content and generate affiliate income -- including one recent campaign where he spent $8,500 and did $21,000 in revenue.

And they weren't kidding. 18 months later, it was gone. All of it. All $52,000 and because they were actually able to pay it off so quickly, they were featured on sites like US News and World Report. That led them to a live interview on Fox News. Deacon tells me that he enjoyed the process so much, he decided to turn it into a career. He quit his job as a financial planner, and actually founded the popular website Wellkeptwallet.com. And he also has a weekly podcast with that name.
