The ONE Thing is the surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results. That truth: time is our most valuable resource.The problem is that most people wake up every day spending their time because they were never taught how to invest it. How to make sure that they had clarity on their priorities – that their calendar actually reflected their priorities instead of being filled with meetings and to-dos.We're going to dive into some practical ways that you can achieve even higher levels of results for yourself personally. The ONE Thing outlines the idea of moving from E to P: from entrepreneurial to purposeful. You act entrepreneurially when you rely on your natural abilities: doing the best that you can do. Being purposeful takes looking outside of yourself to do things to the best standard that they can be done. While it's a simple idea, it's not easy. That's where Ron Friedman comes in. He literally wrote the book on decoding greatness (appropriately called “Decoding Greatness”). He walks you through what it means, how you can benchmark and reverse engineer your progress, and the three simple steps you can take to get started immediately.It can be frustrating, bridging the gap between where you are and where you should be… but it doesn't have to be. If you stop working based on your natural abilities and start relying on the examples of those who've gone before you, spotting what made the difference, and putting that into a simple plan that you can execute in your life.

Learning the Business Owner Skills Needed to Grow a Thriving Business What You Will Learn: How Ron realized he needed to make a life change and start building wealth for his family, and how he discovered the potential of real estate Why Ron needed to make an early pivot in his investing, and how he refined his business owner skills and learned to manage and delegate responsibility Why Ron’s real estate business is always in demand and recession-resistant, and how adapting to changes in the market has been one of the keys of his success Why putting the right people in the right roles is crucial, and how Ron started his publishing business, Global Publishing Inc. How Ron’s mentoring business has become the cornerstone of his real estate empire, and how his organization has grown to include highly successful student coaches How the global pandemic became the impetus that caused Ron to take his coaching virtual through online events and training How the switch to virtual has opened up new opportunities and helped to further increase Ron’s mentoring reach Why marketing to your audience through multiple channels, both online and through traditional media, is crucial Why YouTube is a fantastic free marketing medium, and why it is the ideal channel to share your testimonials Why Ron’s number one piece of advice is to find someone who is successfully doing the thing you want to do and then learn everything you can from them Learning the Business Owner Skills Needed to Grow a Thriving Business Building and growing a business truly is a trial by fire. Learning the necessary business owner skills comes slowly over time, and mistakes will be made. But drawing lessons from those mistakes can be transformative. Master real estate investor and mentor Ron LeGrand joins Onward Nation to share how he developed the business owner skills needed to grow and scale his organization into the thriving empire it is today, and he shares some of the key lessons he learned along the way over the course of his decades-long career in real estate, mentoring and publishing. Developing Key Business Owner Skills Ron knew early on that the path he was on wasn’t going to provide the life he wanted for his family, and so at age 35 he borrowed $450 from friends and used the money to attend his first real estate seminar. As Ron explained in his interview, he learned “just enough to go out and make a mess”. But the early successes were enough to show Ron that he was on the right track, and so he continued to iterate on and refine his business model. One of the business owner skills that became the backbone of his success was learning to delegate responsibility, from putting the right people into the right roles in his company to hiring his most successful students to become coaches. Today, Ron isn’t just a successful entrepreneur and real estate investor, he also runs a thriving publishing business and has a team of mentors ready to teach others the real estate investing strategies Ron learned through trial and error. Being Ready to Pivot to the Market The onset of the global pandemic and its unforeseen challenges have impacted many businesses in dramatic ways, but knowing how to successfully pivot has proven to be one of Ron’s most effective business owner skills. He and his team quickly shifted their mentoring business to a virtual environment and adapted to the realities of social distancing, and in doing so they actually increased Ron’s reach and the profitability of the business. As Ron explained in the interview, being ready to pivot and adjust his strategies to the market has always been a crucial part of his success. By staying nimble and thinking creatively, Ron has been able to adapt to every challenge he has encountered and helped his business not just survive these obstacles but thrive through them.

Is a reverse mortgage right for you? If you’re retired or headed towards retirement and thinking about buying a property, a reverse mortgage could be the answer you’re looking for. A reverse mortgage is essentially a mortgage loan that allows the borrower to access the property’s unencumbered value. Unlike typical mortgage loans, reverse mortgage loans typically do not require monthly mortgage payments and are usually offered to older homeowners. We get asked about reverse mortgages all the time, which is why we invited Ron Heath onto this episode of the podcast. Ron is an expert in reverse mortgages with over 13 years of experience in the reverse mortgage field. In this episode, he shares his thoughts on reverse mortgages and how they can help you in retirement. In this episode find out: Why Ron is passionate about reverse mortgages The difference between traditional mortgages and reverse mortgages How to access the equity in your home with a reverse mortgage How home equity differs from reverse mortgages Reasons why a reverse mortgage is beneficial for people in retirement A step-by-step walkthrough of how a reverse mortgage works How to transition from one house to a new house How a reverse mortgage works in terms of inheritance and how it impacts heirs How a reverse mortgage can be used for anyone considering this route with investments in the stock market Common misconceptions around reverse mortgages How to learn more about reverse mortgages and get the ball rolling Why counseling sessions are important during the reverse mortgage process Tweetable Quotes: “There's no payment obligation associated with a reverse mortgage.” “Counsellors have been mandated not to offer an opinion. Their whole role is to educate.” “A reverse mortgage line of credit can never be frozen. It can never be reduced; it can never be canceled, unless the borrower is not meeting their obligations.” Important Links & Mentions Ron Heath’s website: https://mutualraleigh.com/ (https://mutualraleigh.com/) Ron’s phone number: 919-412-0686 Ron’s email address: rheath@mutualmortgage.com Resources: If you are in or nearing retirement and you want to gain clarity on what questions you should be asking, learn what the biggest retirement myths are, and identify what you can do to achieve peace of mind for your retirement, get started today by requesting our complimentary video course, Four Steps to Secure Your Retirement!

We talk with Ron "Ronnie" Sarmiento, an entrepreneur and one of Jon's mentors about how he got to where he is today, and why he believes we all have "unlimited second chances." We also discuss:- Ron's two philosophies that align with Go Be More- Why looking for permission from others can help but isn't always the right place to start- The most important quality for determining whether or not someone is coachable (hint: it's not ability)- The difference between the "American Dream" that his parents were pursuing and the reality that they found when they got here- His experience growing up in the west side of Orange, CA, which was the "meth capital of Southern California" when he was a kid, and the effect moving to the east side of Orange had on him- How achieving success from the wrong decisions is ultimately not sustainable, and the idea that if you can become successful in an illegal industry, you can be successful in a legal one as well- His decision to walk away from the illegal activities he was involved in, his success as a real estate agent, and then how it all crashed down when he was convicted for his crimes by the FBI- How the conditions placed on him in order to go out on bond--and his years as an entrepreneur in "illegal industry"--created the conditions for his future success as a legal entrepreneur- The key to overcoming major obstacles, namely finding that passion and meaning and something to focus your energy on- The two options we have as humans--solve problems or make problems--and Ron's mission to solve more problems- Why Ron is trying to remove words that signify "separation" from his vocabulary- The connection between Voltron and Black Lives Matter - Thinking about our actions as if they will go seven generations forward- The inconsequentiality of many aspects of modern life and the responsibility we have to think about the next generationRecorded June 10, 2020.References:Big Purple Dot - HomepageBreaking the Silence with Norris Frederick - Go Be More PodcastAmusing Ourselves to Death - AmazonGuest:Ron Sarmiento - @IamRonRonnieHosts:Bryan Green, Go Be More BlogJon Rankin, @chasejonrankin, Go Be MoreLinks:Go Be More websiteGo Be More YouTube ChannelFeedbackFind us on your favorite player:Simplecast

What you'll learn about in this episode: In this second part of a Q&A session between Ron and his students, he answers more questions regarding the deals his students are currently working on Ron explains why he recommends a student contact the HOA of a property to ask if they will allow her to sell a lease option prior to signing an agreement with the seller Why the state the property is located in typically determines what rules you are required to abide by, rather than where you set up your LLC Why you shouldn't be having conversations with sellers about future tenant-buyers or your plans for the property once you purchase it Why, when you are setting up a land trust, you cannot be both the beneficiary and the trustee, and why you can set it up so that your LLC is the trustee and you are the beneficiary How to handle the breach of the due-on-sale clause in subject-to deals, and why the due-on-sale clause being called due isn't generally something to worry about Why double-insuring a property under two different policies doesn't actually help keep the deed transfer discreet Why guaranteeing debt is the biggest mistake you can possibly make in real estate investing Why Ron's views on subject-to deals have changed in recent years, and why it's important to understand individual state requirements on LLCs Why you should never go to a bank for refinancing, and why lease purchasing your own home when considering downsizing is a good idea Additional resources: Website: www.TheMentorPodcast.com/Commercial Get Ron's $599 Wholesaling course for FREE when you join his Gold Club for ONLY $59 a month!

Documentary filmmaker Ron Davis, whose work includes Harry and Snowman and the 2019 release Life in the Doghouse, seeks to tell inspirational true stories that are largely unscripted. Ron’s own journey to becoming a filmmaker might be worth a documentary of its own. Ron grew up riding and competing in the hunter/jumper divisions near his home in northern New Jersey, but left the sport behind to pursue a career in publishing in New York City. He spent 10 years working his way up the ranks, ultimately managing global sales and licensing for both Simon and Schuster and Sterling Publishing, a subsidiary of Barnes and Noble. After seeing a video celebrating a friend’s life, Ron was inspired to create a similar piece as a gift for an equestrian he knew. A filmmaker friend, a producer for the sitcom How I Met Your Mother, saw the piece and recognized that Ron had an innate talent for filmmaking. With his friend’s encouragement, Ron decided to pursue filmmaking in his spare time. In 2009, using his background in sales to help fundraise for the project, Ron co-produced and co-directed his first full-length film, Pageant. The piece debuted on television on The Sundance Channel and played at theaters in New York City.   In 2010, Ron relocated to Wellington, Florida, to pursue filmmaking full time. He founded Docutainment Films, which has produced four full-length documentaries and has several upcoming pieces in pre-production. The FilmRise/Netflix film Harry and Snowman tells the true story of Harry deLeyer and Snowman, a slaughter-bound horse of unknown breeding that deLeyer purchased at the New Holland Auction in Pennsylvania for just $80. Together, the pair wrote their own rags-to-riches story, winning prestigious show jumping competitions. The film premiered at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in 2015 before opening to general release in September of 2016. It was a New York Times “Critic’s Pick” and won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at both the Nantucket and Prescott Film Festivals in 2015. Harry and Snowman ultimately became one of 2016’s top-grossing theatrical documentaries.   In 2018, Ron completed Life in the Doghouse, another FilmRise/Netflix production that chronicles the work of equestrians Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta, who together have rescued over 11,000 abused, abandoned and starving dogs. Danny & Ron’s Rescue finds safe homes for the rescues through their network of horse people and attending horse shows. The film premiered on Netflix in June 2019 and was lauded by the likes of Ellen DeGeneres, who urged her fans and followers to see the film and support Danny & Ron’s Rescue. Ron will donate all the net proceeds from his film to dog charities across the country. He is committed to producing only stories he cares about deeply and looks to craft character-driven pieces which inspire and warm the heart.   Topics of Discussion: [:25] About today’s guest.
