    Kent Clothier is the founder and CEO of Real Estate Worldwide, where he leads an amazing team of individuals that are focused on building disruptive systems that push the entrepreneur dream and the real estate industry forward.

    He is the son of an entrepreneur and thus is a serial entrepreneur by nature. Beyond that, Kent is a proud husband and father of three amazing kids. He’s dedicated his business life and ventures towards awaking the human spirit in all of us and inspiring thousands of entrepreneurs to escape the “rat race” and create the dream lives that they’ve always wanted.

    He stands for integrity, ideas, companies and products that allow entrepreneurs to not only “learn” what it takes to live a successful life on every level, but the tools and strategies to create real change in daily life. He feels as though we have a gift and it is our responsibility to share that gift with the world and ensure that people respond. He stands against the naysayers and the dream killers. He stands against ideas, dogma, and businesses that prey on the weak minded and create a “herd mentality”.

    As a result, almost all of his businesses involve products and services that ultimately change human behavior to encourage budding entrepreneurs to expand their vision, enhance their lives, and shake off the emotional baggage from their past.

    Through Real Estate Worldwide, Kent invests and builds entrepreneurial focused educational products and services that empower individuals to create real businesses, active and passive income, time freedom, and lasting change.

  • Episode 54: The Forced Equity Strategy

    When Stacy Kellams was only seventeen he clearly articulated the path he intended to take in life. After watching his grandfather get “down-sized” after twenty-nine years with no pension or severance made a lasting impression. Nearing his sixties, and depending on his pension for retirement, his grandfather was devastated.

    It was at that moment Stacy determined NEVER to have a job and NEVER give anyone that much power over his life. This fueled an already strong entrepreneurial spirit, and it was a matter of weeks before he and his best friend Levi started a “peep-hole” installation business.

    Stacy Kellams struggled with the notion of “going to college” and “getting a job” so he dropped out several times to start businesses. He ultimately realized that whether or not he “got a job,” he did need business education to succeed as an entrepreneur.

    With a degree in finance from Texas Tech University, Stacy plunged into the chaotic and lucrative environment of high finance where he became an investment adviser (RIA). “Wall Street is like craps, you win big, and you lose big,” said Stacy. And he did. Growing tired of the wild ride the stock market, Stacy shifted gears.

    With his grandfather’s words whispering in his ear, “Son, they ain’t makin’ any more land so you might should get you some,” Stacy refocused his attention back to the one investment he’d never lost money in: Real estate.

    After putting his first property under contract at just twenty-five, Stacy never lost his enthusiasm for real estate. After ten years, he decided he wanted to give back. Knowing there was no way he could repay those who’d mentored him, he positioned himself as a mentor to others.

    Launching a real estate education business was the best method by which he could lend his experience and education to the most people possible. Using the internet allows him to leverage his time, so he can spend the maximum amount of time with his wife, Hilary and their three children.

    “Nothing is more important to me than my family. Being an internet marketer and real estate educator affords me the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.”

    Being mobile helps Stacy and his wife run their health and wellness business as independent distributors of Kyani, a product they stumbled upon seeking a treatment for their daughter’s chronic inflammation due to Celiac Disease.

    “People everywhere are hurting, whether it’s physically, emotionally, academically or financially,” Stacy remarks.

    “Kyani, a liquid and bioavailable source of the most powerful anti-oxidants on the planet as well as the highest quality Omega-3 fatty acids on earth. It started as a way to deal with our daughter’s pain and lead to the entire family taking Kyani for various reasons. I’m ADD, my daughter, and youngest son are ADD, my wife suffers from anxiety. Within weeks, all of our symptoms abated, and our quality of life has been enhanced immeasurably. What started as a homeopathic remedy for pain turned into a lucrative income stream.”

    Stacy and his family spend their summers and many school breaks at their lake house in Northern Michigan. The Kellams’ strive to provide their children with experiences over possessions. “You can’t put a price on memories.”

    What you’ll learn about in this episode:

    Stacy’s background and how he got into real estate
    How Stacy got into entrepreneurship through selling front door peep holes
    Forced Appreciation Profits: looking at a property for what it can be rather than what it currently is
    The finances of the deals Stacy typically does
    Why you need to focus on the hottest areas
    Why you should work with the same designer on these projects (assuming they are good)
    Why you need a great mentor to work with
