Business Growth Simplified.

BFS Founder Rick Sapio interviews Max Borges, an entrepreneur who in 2002 founded the Max Borges Agency - a tech-focused public relations firm. In this episode, Rick and Max discuss how Max took his agency from an "AFM" or "Anything For Money" mindset to a mindset of optimism without limitation. This optimism has led Max to countless opportunities both personal and professional that have given him more success than he had ever dreamed of. Through the years he has accumulated bits of wisdom that serve him each and every day. By studying the habits of business and strategy icons, he built his agency to more than 50 employees and $10 million a year in revenue.

Do you want a life by design, designed by you? Or, do you want a life by default? We need to design our lives with the long-term in mind and live into them. When we feel like we are not in control of our lives, we can develop anxiety or depression. By following the advice Rick and Teresa give in this episode, you will learn to take back control of your life and increase your life’s fulfillment. Take responsibility and plan out your desires and plans relevant to what you want in life.

When is the last time you took an inventory of all of your finances? You should always be aware of what percentage of your money is at risk. We see it all the time, people aren’t as financially educated as they should be. We are taught that you must take risks in order to grow your wealth, when in fact- the opposite is true. Be aware of your situation. Make decisions based on what you know, not just what you’re told. It’s also good to have someone who agrees with this money mindset hold you accountable to informed decisions. Treat your money and finances as if they are sacred!

We are seeing that there is a great divide happening in our society. This divide is NOT between right and left, or sleep and awake, but between those who consume and those who create. While absorbing information is important for growth, you also need to use what you learn to create and share with others. Ask yourself: What’s the ratio of time that you consume versus the time you create on a daily basis? Unfortunately, many of us spend our time reacting to the things that happen around us instead of using our energy to create. Start your day with creating something. You can change your life, step by step.

We all have a choice when we wake up in the morning- What kind of day am I going to have today? Choose your day now. In this episode of the BFS Podcast, Rick talks about the importance of having Faith, Gratitude, and Abundance as conscious influences on your daily mindset. Don't let outside influences, like the media, bring you down. Learn to have gratitude, not resentment. Resentment is like preparing poison for someone else, but drinking it yourself and waiting for the other person to die. Recognize the difference between the two, be more appreciative, and create the life you want.

Money is an opportunity in a relationship. When couples work together toward a common vision, they can do anything. In this episode, Teresa interviews Rick on how to manage yourself in the world of dating when it comes to money and finances. Put a tremendous amount of thought into the type of person you want to be in a relationship with. What are their values exactly? How do they spend and save money? Create a list of values that you want in a souse, and don’t compromise! If you want it bad enough, the universe will conspire to bring that person to you.

Is Joe Biden going to be sworn in as our 46th President?

Will Trump uncover massive fraud and step back into power?

Will Stefano Standoza get elected to the District 7 school board?

Wait!

Stop!

Who is Stefano Standoza?

The answer is: Who the hell cares who Stefano Standoza is?!

Over 2,000 years ago, in ancient Rome, the leaders realized that if they could keep the citizenry focused on politics, theatre, food, alcohol, news, and distractions, then they could take advantage of everyone. The leaders further realized that a distracted, preoccupied human being is a better, tax-paying slave to the system.

Has anything changed in 2,000 years?

Imagine how insane we have become as a society, that we have accepted general mass-incarceration of our time and our children’s time. Billions of people around the globe are glued to screens and getting sucked into things that have one objective behind them: To make us lazy, stupid, scared, insecure, and dependent on those “superior beings” that are in charge of us sheep.

When do you think that we will wake up as a society?

Martin Luther King once borrowed a line and said, “If I knew the world was ending tomorrow, I would still plant an apple tree today!”

What is your apple tree?

Remember that there is a massive bifurcation happening in the world right now. 95% or more of the population chooses to focus on F.R.S., which means Fear, Resentment, and Scarcity; and a much smaller percentage of the population, less than 5%, chooses to focus on F.G.A., which stands for Faith, Gratitude, and Abundance.

All the emotional rhetoric flying back and forth around the election is doing nothing for anyone, except setting us back.

So…the truth is: No matter who our next President is, the world will be better off with all of our apples, which are the fruit of our collective purpose in action.
