ONE FINAL THOUGHT: Albert Einstein once said, “Never give up on what you really want to do.  The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.” Whew!  That's powerful.  Now… that's not to say we shouldn't THINK and put together an awesome plan to get those big dreams done.  BUT like Mitch said in this episode, it's important to give yourself room to DREAM first.  Then, once we have some of those dreams (big or small) clarified… then we can begin to THINK and plan.   So… who's in for some DREAMING?  Let's do this!

Passive income strategies and building wealth from chaos What You Will Learn: How Mitch’s real estate business is structured, and why his passive income strategies are durable and flexible enough to succeed during the pandemic Why Mitch believes wealth comes from chaos, and why focusing on helping people has been the key to excelling during challenging times How Mitch and his team have adapted to the changes brought about by the pandemic such as people not wanting potentially infectious strangers in their homes How Mitch learned that fixing the houses he bought was time-consuming and wasn’t really adding value, and why he structures his deals to be the “bank”, not a landlord How navigating the challenges of the 2008 real estate market crash taught Mitch valuable lessons he is using to get through the global pandemic Why Mitch made the strategic decision to keep his business in his local San Antonio market rather than expanding outward How Mitch has structured his business into three different segments: one-time cash events, temporary cash deals, and forever cash deals How Mitch began coaching others in his method, and how he has built out the coaching side of his business over time Why Mitch does the investing and coaching work he does beyond just making money, and how his efforts benefit himself, new homeowners, and communities at large Passive income strategies and building wealth from chaos Even in times of chaos, the right passive income strategies can help you build wealth and grow your business. In this episode of Onward Nation, encore guest Mitch Stephen walks us through the important lessons he learned during the 2008 real estate market crash that have helped him continue to thrive during the global pandemic. Mitch explains why his business model is built to be durable, adaptable, and is focused on helping others. He also shares why he keeps a laser focus on his local market rather than attempting to expand beyond the San Antonio, Texas market. Passive income strategies in the world of real estate Mitch Stephen has spent decades developing his skills as a real estate investor, and over that career he has learned valuable lessons about earning more by doing less. During the episode, Mitch discussed why he shifted his focus from “fix-and-flip” real estate to simply buying and reselling without doing any repairs or upgrades, and he explains how his passive income strategies have evolved through testing, experimentation, and a willingness to learn from his mistakes. As Mitch explained, the 2008 real estate market crash showed him that investing the time and resources into property repairs wasn’t necessary; at the time, he had so many properties going into foreclosure that he couldn’t fix them all, but he was surprised to realize that even without expensive and time-consuming repairs, his properties were moving quickly. This important lesson shows that it is important to periodically question assumptions about our business models and identify opportunities to streamline the business. Finding opportunities in chaos The 2008 market crash taught Mitch key skills and the value of being ready to pivot to take advantage of opportunities. These lessons are even more applicable today, during the global pandemic. Mitch began coaching other new investors on the passive income strategies, lessons and skills he developed through trial and error, with the important goal of helping others succeed. Today, his real estate coaching has grown to become a key pillar of Mitch’s business empire, and one of the most important lessons he teaches his students is how to identify opportunities during the tough times. As Mitch explained, challenges such as the global pandemic create unique opportunities for business owners to solve problems for their customers, allowing truly creative businesses to better position themselves within their niches. Being adaptable, nimble and ready to deliver creative solutions can help businesses not just survive but thrive during chaotic and challenging times. That’s exactly why it is important to double down rather than retreat during difficult periods. About Mitch Stephen Mitch Stephen has been a self-employed real estate investor for 25+ years.

Clients include: Amazon, Morrisons and Xero. Here’s a few of the highlights of what Mitch and I discussed: [00:02:02] Why Mitch describes himself as a hustler. [00:02:34] Why Mitch even now feels he “needs to prove a point”. [00:03:17] Mitch's parents, both in their 70s, still run a flooring business in Bournemouth and why they are Mitch's inspiration.

[00:07:41] Mitch defines his core skills as being good at "making things happen". [00:08:28] I ask Mitch whether his job is essentially to monetise Dan Glover's ideas?

[00:27:01] How Mitch almost missed the opportunity to interview Dan Glover – a relationship that would come to define both of their careers. [00:28:21] How Mitch didn't have the budget to afford Dan's salary when he first hired him, so he paid him from his own salary. [00:30:19] How did Mitch build, sell and ultimately leave Mischief? [00:33:22] Why Mitch believes if you want to sell a business you cannot approach anyone, they have to approach you. All you can do is build a great business. [00:38:47] Why Dan and Mitch set up their second PR start up – The Academy. [00:41:42] Why did Shine and The Academy merge in 2016? [00:45:38] Mitch tells us what it's like "running a business with your best friend".

Dream Big With Mitch Matthews And Change Your Life Forever My guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview is a man who from an early age made big decisions as to how to get what he wanted in life. So many people live a life of reaction. They wait for something to pass them by and then reach out hoping that their fingers might just grab a bit of what they have seen. This is certainly not the case with todays guest, as demonstrated at just age twelve, he set his sights on attaining his first “dream job.” (Working at a local bike shop) So he spent 2 to 4 hours a every day that summer just hanging out, cleaning, and watching. By the end of the summer the bike shop owner (one of our guests heroes) offered him a job. (It was either that or have him arrested for loitering!) And that says so much about where our guest is today, inspiring people to take the actions that will make their dreams big and real. Now this is where it all comes together, as he says in his own words  In 2006, he and his wife were working on one of their own big dreams (launching a product) and they experienced some significant set backs in a very short time. He was tempted to give up and go back to something “safe.” But since this was one of his big dreams, he got the idea that maybe some friends could help. Then he started to think that maybe… just maybe… he could help some of his friends with some of their big dreams too. And bang the 1st BIG Dream Gathering was formed, as on a whim, he invited some friends and family to participate in something he called a “BIG Dream Gathering.”   It was only supposed to last for a few hours but it wound up continuing on for a FULL WEEK! So living a life where you whole aim is to inspire people to take action and dream big, can be so exhausting as every waking second your mind whirrs with the possibilities that abound. So how has he managed to create the life he wants, business he wants, become a top podcaster and still look like he has just left high-school? And what is the number one peice of advice that he gives the world, when asked "How do I start my dream too?" Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mitch Matthews Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Mitch Matthews such as: Mitch shares how he now realizes that he is a recovering perfectionist, and the steps that he takes to get past these mental blocks. We talk about how all of us must learn ways of starting small in a business even if you only have fifteen minutes a day. They all add up to something worthwhile. Why Mitch is such an advocate of resting, and allowing himself to shut down the brain. Ke know what is right for his own body and ensures its part of his calendar. and lastly…. You might find it a surprise that "Being a freak" is classed as a badge of honour by both Mitch and David and the reasons why.

Podcast 016 “Entrepreneurship is a little bit of a sickness and a disease,” says Mitch Gordon, founder of GoOverseas, “but it’s one that I’m happy to have.” When Mitch said this on the podcast, I couldn’t help but laugh because that’s exactly how I feel most of the time. Plus, I know that many of my fellow entrepreneurial friends can relate. When you have that innate entrepreneurial “bug” or “disease”, you KNOW it. And there’s no doubt that Mitch Gordon knows it and has truly embraced it. Mitch is one of those really cool entrepreneurs with a “pay it forward” attitude. Even with his super busy schedule and successful business with 20 employees, he’ll still genuinely ask you, “What can I do for you?” and find a way to help you out. After quitting his corporate job in consulting and auditing for PwC in 2005, Mitch moved across the world to Taiwan to start his first full-time entrepreneurial venture—Reach to Teach. When funds started running low and credit card bills began piling up, Mitch didn’t throw in the towel. Instead, he’s propelled his life forward and has taken his business ideas to the next level. Today, Mitch is the founder of GoOverseas which is a website dedicated to providing resources for meaningful travel abroad—including teaching, studying, volunteering, and interning. The site connects all types of students, travelers and volunteers to reputable programs all over the world and also have built an incredible online community of travelers as well. Mitch is also the Entrepreneur in Residence at Berkeley and works with anyone in the student body who wants to start a business or entrepreneurial venture.
