In this FamilyCast episode, I'm joined by Tim and Sandra Smith, a power couple from upstate New York balancing a demanding W-2, medical challenges, and real estate success. Tim and Sandra share their journey from doing deals the traditional way to successfully closing their first creative financing deal with the Wicked Smart® community despite all the life chaos happening behind the scenes.   We talk about the systems that helped them close the deal, how they sourced a buyer using our in-house platform, and why they're excited about doing more rent-to-own deals instead of dealing with rental headaches. Plus, we share real, boots-on-the-ground insight into building something meaningful without having to go “full time” on day one.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 02:49 Tim and Sandra's background: real estate since the late '80s, nursing, and analytics 05:34 First creative deal: expired listing from MyPlusLeads 07:40 Seller motivation: first-time landlord overwhelmed by damage & eviction 09:52 Buyer marketing process: Craigslist, Facebook & Propsperity.io 11:27 Sifting through all the leads we generate from marketing properties 13:15 Their biggest aha: wait until after the viewing to pre-qualify the buyer 16:36 Structuring a 24-month rent-to-own term with the buyer 21:25 How they sold the deal before it even closed with the seller 22:21 Why you should join the QLS Live event in October 2025 24:03 Using Propsperity.io to automate tenant management 26:22 Words of wisdom: Don't wait for perfect conditions—just start Quotables   “When you build the system once, it becomes rinse and repeat, and we're ready to do more.”   “Everyone has life going on. But the Smiths didn't let it stop them—they found a way to keep moving forward.”   “The buyer was a foster family. They needed space. And our structure gave them that opportunity when a bank wouldn't.”   Links   QLS Live https://qlslive.com   Real Estate On Your Terms and Deal Structure Overtime https://wickedsmartbooks.com/podcast   FREE Master's Class http://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast   FREE Strategy Session with Chris Pre http://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   QLS 4.0 https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qlspodcast   Investor Resources https://smartrealestatecoach.com/resources   Apprentice Program https://smartrealestatecoach.com/apprenticepodcast   In the Trenches Bootcamp https://smartrealestatecoach.com/ittbpodcast   3 Paydays Virtual Event https://smartrealestatecoach.com/3paydayspodcast   REI Blackbook https://smartrealestatecoach.com/REIBB-DD   7 Figures Funding https://smartrealestatecoach.com/7figures-pod   Propsperity.io https://propsperity.io

In this special FamilyCast episode, I sit down with David Albin, a high-performing member of our Wicked Smart® community who just closed his first creative real estate deal—while juggling a demanding W-2 job and family life.   David brings a unique background to the table: 26 years in the military, 25 years in corporate accounting, and now he's diving head-first into real estate investing using creative financing. If you've ever wondered, “Can I actually do this while working full time?” or “What happens after my first deal?”—this is your episode.   We break down the real estate deal from start to finish, including how David landed the seller, how he sifted through buyers, and how he confidently closed a $26,000 payday—without ever owning the home. Plus, we unpack the incredible support system that helped him get there.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:30 Who is David Albin? 04:30 Why David decided to join the Wicked Smart community in 2023 06:00 How David incorporates real estate into his schedule 07:15 How the goal to supplement retirement grew  08:25 The power of community and camaraderie 11:20 What makes live events like QLS and In the Trenches so impactful 14:16 David's first creative deal 16:46 Switching from owner financing to assign out 18:11 Listing the property and getting flooded with buyer inquiries 21:51 How Nick and the team helped him vet buyers using Next Step forms 26:49 REI BlackBook, tracking, and scripting for your deals 28:00 Building confidence through the support from the community 32:02 Lessons learned from the first deal 35:09 Why you need to get to the next live event: QLS Live 2024 Quotables   “This started as a side hustle to build retirement savings. But once I did the first deal, I realized—it could replace the W-2.”   “I felt like I was drowning at first. But once I got the scripts and the support, it clicked—and the deal closed fast.”   “Getting to $26K on a property I never owned… that'll change how you think about income.”   Links   QLS Live https://qlslive.com   Real Estate On Your Terms and Deal Structure Overtime https://wickedsmartbooks.com/podcast   FREE Master's Class http://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast   FREE Strategy Session with Chris Pre http://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast   QLS 4.0 https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qlspodcast   Investor Resources https://smartrealestatecoach.com/resources   Apprentice Program https://smartrealestatecoach.com/apprenticepodcast   In the Trenches Bootcamp https://smartrealestatecoach.com/ittbpodcast   3 Paydays Virtual Event https://smartrealestatecoach.com/3paydayspodcast   REI Blackbook https://smartrealestatecoach.com/REIBB-DD   7 Figures Funding https://smartrealestatecoach.com/7figures-pod

This episode is a special one, Wicked Smart listeners—episode 500! And to mark the occasion, we're flipping the script. I step into the hot seat while three of our top Wicked Smart Coaches—Russell Ham, Mike Makredes, and Rick Abbiati—take over and put me on the spot with questions that dig deep into the journey, the lessons, and the long game of building a creative real estate business.We cover everything from how I'd start over today, to managing market shifts, scaling with the right hires, and why I believe so strongly in coaching. Whether you're brand new or you've been grinding for years, you'll hear hard-earned insight and practical tips that can help you go further, faster—with fewer bumps along the way. Timeline Summary [0:00] - Introduction [1:32] - How the creative real estate landscape has shifted—and why adaptability is key [3:02] - Why market changes don't mean pivoting entirely, but shifting your approach [7:03] - The two hires I'd make on day one if I were starting over [10:32] - What kept me moving forward when everything felt like it was falling apart [15:45] - Stacking consistent habits vs. chasing shiny objects in real estate [18:13] - How I decide whether to cash out or hold long-term on a deal [23:24] - Why owner financing is still my favorite strategy for building wealth [27:57] - How coaching has impacted the business—and the personal growth of our team [34:00] - Our coaches share their transformations and biggest breakthroughs [37:39] - Looking ahead to QLS Live 2025 and what we're bringing to Boston   5 Key Takeaways: 1. Adaptability is everything: Real estate markets shift, but success comes from knowing how to fish in new ponds—not switching your whole strategy. 2. Start with support: If I had to start over, I'd hire an executive assistant and a VA from day one to stay focused on high-value activities. 3. Stack before you pivot: Master one niche before jumping into another. Consistency always beats jumping from shiny object to shiny object. 4. Coaching isn't just about deals: Coaching accelerates your growth, sharpens your skills, and gives you the confidence to lead. 5. Owner financing is a wealth builder: It may be harder to understand at first, but when structured right, it delivers six-figure paydays and long-term wins.

Wicked Smart listeners, get ready for an insightful conversation on scaling your business the smart way. In this episode, I sit down with Solomon Thimothy, an entrepreneur with nearly two decades of experience in growth marketing. As the founder of OneIMS and co-founder of ClickX, Solomon has helped businesses overcome growth plateaus and achieve measurable, sustainable success.   We discuss the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face when trying to scale, the key mindset shifts needed to break through revenue ceilings, and why AI is becoming a game-changer for businesses looking to optimize operations. Solomon shares real-world strategies for accelerating growth, leveraging data-driven marketing, and making smarter business decisions. Whether you're a solopreneur or running a multi-million-dollar company, this episode is packed with insights you can apply immediately. Episode Highlights [0:00] – Introduction [2:20] – How Solomon went from self-taught web developer to helping businesses scale through data-driven marketing. [4:26] – The turning point that forced him to pivot from website development to full-scale lead generation. [7:38] – The biggest mistake small business owners make when trying to grow. [10:19] – The revenue thresholds where businesses typically hit roadblocks and how to break through. [12:31] – Why mindset is often the biggest bottleneck in scaling a business. [14:47] – How digital marketing and AI can accelerate business growth without increasing headcount. [19:06] – The evolving role of AI in sales and marketing, and why businesses need to adapt now. [24:58] – How AI is eliminating inefficiencies and making businesses more profitable. [26:42] – The future of scaling: why companies that embrace AI will have the biggest competitive advantage.   Five Key Takeaways 1. Scaling requires more than just working harder. Many entrepreneurs believe they need to add more services or expand their offerings, but true growth comes from refining and doubling down on what works. 2. Lead generation is more important than aesthetics. Having a great-looking website or social media presence means nothing if it does not generate revenue. Businesses must focus on conversion-driven strategies. 3. AI is the next competitive advantage. Businesses that leverage AI for automation, marketing, and sales optimization will outperform those that rely on traditional methods. 4. Mindset is often the biggest obstacle. Entrepreneurs who struggle to scale usually have internal roadblocks rather than external ones. Identifying and addressing these limitations is key. 5. Cutting unnecessary expenses accelerates growth. Many businesses waste money on ineffective marketing strategies. Analyzing ROI and reallocating resources to high-impact activities is essential for sustainable success.   Links & Resources https://www.thimothy.com/ Real Estate On Your Terms and Deal Structure Overtime https://wickedsmartbooks.com/podcast FREE Master's Class http://smartrealestatecoach.com/masterspodcast FREE Strategy Session with Chris Pre http://smartrealestatecoach.com/actionpodcast QLS 4.0 https://smartrealestatecoach.com/qlspodcast Investor Resources https://smartrealestatecoach.com/resources Apprentice Program https://smartrealestatecoach.com/apprenticepodcast In the Trenches Bootcamp https://smartrealestatecoach.com/ittbpodcast 3 Paydays Virtual Event https://smartrealestatecoach.com/3paydayspodcast REI Blackbook https://smartrealestatecoach.com/REIBB-DD 7 Figures Funding https://smartrealestatecoach.com/7figures-pod

"Who do you need to become to achieve your goals on the course? Your habits, word choices, and beliefs shape your identity and your game." "Your subconscious wants to keep you safe, so when you step outside your comfort zone, like going low on the front nine, it may unconsciously pull you back to what feels familiar." "The rapid reset breath is a way to release tension and anchor yourself in the present moment, even after a blow-up hole." "As human beings, we're hardwired with fears of judgment, abandonment, and rejection. These fears show up in golf when you tighten up before a shot or worry about others watching you." "Your self-image drives your behavior and performance. To improve, you need to align your beliefs with the golfer you aspire to be." "The power to accomplish anything you desire is already between your ears. And most importantly, you deserve everything you dream of achieving." Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

It's a rewarding place to be, and anyone who wants to get into the top 5% of players needs to have a sound strategy.   At the same time, there are commonly-accepted steps that one shouldn't take to become a scratch golfer. Listen in as Michael dives deep into every one of these misconceptions, from the pitfalls of obsessing over mechanics, to routine and short swing misfires, to the silly mind games we play that do more harm than good out on the course.   And don't miss the tail-end of our conversation, where Michael gives his thoughts on the difference between a scratch player and a true scratch player.   About Michael Leonard: Michael Leonard is a professional writer who has been featured in Lifehacker, Addicted2Success, Rockstar Finance, Early to Rise, Thrive Global and more. In 2022, he launched the Wicked Smart Golf podcast and published the Wicked Smart Golf Book.

If you read my book (or listened to the audio version) I hope you remember the first chapter. Cultivate an attitude of gratitude. When you play with an attitude of gratitude, you learn to accept bad shots and appreciate good shots. You learn to…  Swing with more freedom and fewer expectations.  Enjoy the moment and not stress over a short putt you missed.  Cherish the memories that golf allows you to create with incredible people.  Too many golfers put so much pressure on themselves to hit perfect golf shots, despite working a full-time job and not practicing enough, somehow thinking that expectations will somehow make you play better. As Tony Robbins said, “Trade your expectations for appreciation and the world changes instantly.”  WICKED SMART GOLF Recommended Products Decade Golf - The #1 Course Management System (use code WICKEDSMART to save 20%) Mental Golf Type - The Best Mental Game Training (use code WICKEDSMART to save 25%)  Rypstick - The #1 Speed Trainer to Hit Bombs (use code WICKEDSMART to save 10%)  Mental Golf Coaching - Get 1:1 support to lower your handicap, master your mental game, and have more fun.  Wicked Smart Golf Academy - The Fastest Way to Play Consistent Golf  Also, don't forget to connect on social media: Follow on TikTok Follow on Instagram   Subscribe on YouTube Buy my golf book on Amazon or Audible (“Wicked Smart Golf: How to Play Better Golf and Shoot Lower Scores Without Changing Your Swing”)

Rey Ortega is an incredibly smart, well-read, and self-taught programming engineer that is driven to help others reach their goals and potential. His mentoring advice to others is “Make sure you do a deep dive and become a problem solver. Apply this in everything you want to learn. If you don't know your stuff, people will know you don't know what you are doing.” Wise words, right?   We talked quite a bit about AI and how it can be used with impact both positively and negatively.   From a technical perspective, what worries him about 2030 is that a lot of technology will take over things that people used to do. People will feel disenfranchised and left behind. Humans are important, it is bothersome low code, no code solutions, someone has to own the data and it may not be you the owner of an idea. Listeners, dive into this episode and you won't be disappointed. Reach out to Rey on Linkedin to hire his company, have him speak about AI in the Future, or have a cup of coffee with him. He is the real deal.

Lou Stagner aka the "Golf Stat Pro" is a performance coach, podcast host, and data analyst that can help you make better decisions on the course. He has more than 150,000 followers on Twitter and one of the best guys to follow to learn how stats can transform your game. I've been following him for years and was excited about this interview because tracking your stats can make a huge impact in your game. Stat tracking is something I discussed in-depth in my book and something I suggest for all my mental golf coaching students.   In this episode, you will learn: The power of expectations. Why every serious golfer needs to track stats. How driving distance can lead to a lower handicap.  How stats provide objective data about your weaknesses. The logic behind aiming at the flag vs. middle of the green. How to save shots on and around the green to lower your scoring average.  Why strokes gained is the best metric to measure your game (and what to track if you don't have a stat tracking program).  Lastly, sign up for Lou's FREE newsletter for incredible insights to learn more stats to create the right expectations and play better this year.  Make sure to follow Lou Stagner on Twitter/X or on Instagram. Also, make sure to buy Arccos Golf to start tracking your game.    WICKED SMART GOLF MENTAL GAME RESOURCES Work with Michael for Mental Golf Coaching  Download the Mental Golf Playbook (100% FREE) Unlock your potential by taking your FREE mental game assessment: Mental Golf Type Master your pre-shot routine in golf to save 3–5 shots per round: Join Pre-Shot Like a Pro Also, don't forget to connect on social media: Follow on TikTok Follow on Instagram   Subscribe on YouTube Buy my golf book on Amazon (“Wicked Smart Golf: How to Play Better Golf and Shoot Lower Scores Without Changing Your Swing”) Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to get new episodes each week so you can play better without swing changes.
