He started over again and this time he was driven to find better ways to grow healthy, strong companies among other innovative strategies. Mike is now running his THIRD million dollar venture.  Fear is a great motivator to get you up at 4:00 in the morning and work until 4:00 the next morning.  Listen in as Mike talks about his beginnings and why it’s so important not to let your ego get in your way. The guys also delve into:  Building systems Achieving repeatability for success Recognizing opportunities for growth  Plus, we dig deep into Mike’s three books and he tells us how they relate to business, and find out how The Pumpkin Plan influenced and strengthened Mark’s marriage!  Money is an amplifier of habits; good or bad. Unless you know what you're doing, money just allows you to do the wrong things faster and better.  All of this and so much more on today's exciting episode of,  The Best Passive Income Model podcast! TIP OF THE WEEK Mark: Learn more about Mike at MikeMichalowicz.com.

All Good Things Come To An End

Uh-oh, this isn’t Mark…today we’re mixing things up a bit. Every task I’ve helped Mark with he’s always told me to make it my own—he has always given me creative room to breathe. So while Mark was busy with other things this week, I thought I’d sneak on here and share with you some of my favorite highlights from Land Geek students. Why should you care about my favorite student stories? If you haven’t guessed yet, it’s me, Danielle Dyball…if you don’t know who I am well I’m always working hard behind the scenes here on the Land Geek team. My official title is Chief Geek Administrator, and while I help with everything from support to planning Bootcamps, one of my favorite things about working with Mark is the community. Getting to know the students is always encouraging…whether it’s helping you troubleshoot technical issues or listening as you share your story with us, I absolutely love the Land Geek Community. And we know how much you all love hearing from The Land Geek students too, so I’ve handpicked some of my favorite stories from star pupils. Chris Clark kicks off this episode. Chris is now a Land Geek coach—hear how he got started with land investing using Mark’s system and why he prefers land over house flips any day. Next is John & Becky Burnett, our first couple team. While John always sees the big picture, Becky has the ability to narrow down that vision to accomplish all those little tasks required to reach the ultimate goal. Becky is John’s perfect partner in marriage, married for 32 years, and in business—and while they may not remember how they found Mark they do know his methods are solid as they’ve created a successful business together.   Sometimes it gets a bit confusing when we’re on-boarding new coaching students because not only do we have Chris Clark as a coach, but Chris Pritchard has also recently joined the coaching team. Chris Pritchard found The Land Geek while looking for his next side hustle…listen in as Chris shares with us how land investing has been his greatest side hustle. Last but not least…when talking about Land Geek students we just can’t get away without talking about Scott Todd. Scott has definitely reached celebrity status in the community and I’ve even been told a few times that some of our lady Land Geeks out there have a major crush on Scott. In this episode, Mark & Scott talk about building your list. And if you just can’t get enough of Mark and Scott be sure to check out their new podcast,  The Art of Passive Income! If you subscribe, rate, and review The Art of Passive Income and send a screenshot to support@thelandgeek.com you’ll not only have a chance to win an Investor’s Toolkit, but we’re going to send you some free goodies right away.  If you haven’t registered yet for the Vegas Bootcamp go do so now, Bootcamp is two weeks away and we are down to our last two seats.
