Now, let's dive into today's episode...

In this short Cash Flow diary podcast episode I talk about a few of the basics, like how I did my first deals (because I get the question all the time), how to raise capital and how to generate leads. What you’ll learn is to do things in a certain sequence, which will help get others to enroll in your process. It’s like planting your lands in preparation for a harvest. You have to plow the land, prepare the soil, seed it, do a few more things to keep cultivating and nurturing your crops… and finally get to the harvest. (In real estate transactions, the close of the deal is your harvest.)

In this episode you will learn about the importance of conducting the III interview (triple “I”) with everyone you want to work with. That’s because you want your buyers, investors and sellers to be in total alignment with your goals, mission and vision. If they don’t fit you can’t force them to fit. If you do, you’ll be sorry at some point down the road.

You’ll also learn how to generate leads wherever you go. Whether that’s at Starbucks or the mall or in line at the grocery store. Again, it’s like planting seeds. You don’t just plant in one spot. You spread them around so you get a big, healthy crop.

If you want a better look at generating leads in the real world, you need to check out our Lead Machine Video Course. If you do, you can actually begin generating leads minutes after taking the course! It happens all the time. (It gives you all my offline lead-generation strategies I used when I was starting out as an investor and strategies I use even today!)

You will want to take notes as you listen to this episode. It is taken from a recent Periscope session I did on lead generation. We are archiving these videos in our member area, so if you are a Cashflow Core Member you can go watch it and take screen shots of the graphics I drew in this one! (BTW, you’ll hear my kids in the background. They have taken the role of my official “heart monitors” because we’re trying to reach a million hearts on Periscope by the end of the month.) Learn more.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

Cash Flow Diary podcast guest Michael J. Maher is a true king of referrals. He’s learned the secrets to sales success… and it’s not chasing people down in parking lots. Before we get into that, let’s talk about Michael roots. 

It’s not like Michael was born with a silver spoon in his mouth nor did he grow up just knowing how to be great at sales. Quite the contrary. He grew up impoverished in Kansas but in a loving family. Michael’s dad was a bus driver by day and a volunteer sports coach for kids three times over by night. Michael’s mom stayed at home with him and his four siblings. 

As Michael watched his mother and father, he learned the importance of hard work and good ethics. He also learned that if someone asks you if they can help you with something you simply say YES.

Michael may have started out with zero dollars and a whole lot of drive to build his business, but he amassed millions of dollars and a fantastic reputation through doing business as a real estate professional in an ethical way that more of us should replicate. He says that there is a power behind generosity and that’s his “big secret” to success. (That and the power of saying yes.)

He also says that we have to accept compliments, which for whatever reason is hard for some of us. If someone compliments your shirt or shoes, just say thank you. It’s actually a gift back to them. 

Further, if someone asks you if there is something they can do for you (because they like whatever you did for them or just because they want to do something for you), say yes… send me referrals! 

Getting referrals is Michael’s super power. But he didn’t always know it. In fact, it wasn’t until he was being interviewed on Star Power where he was talking about what he did in real estate that what he had accomplished and his true abilities were mirrored back to him. The host called him “the most referred real estate agent,” which ended up making Michael’s phone blow up afterwards with calls and referrals. 

At that point, Michael knew he was onto something great. He began speaking and teaching others to do what he knew how to do. He taught them to grow their business through a spirit of generosity and by asking for referrals. 

If you’re sitting on the Struggle Bus right now wanting desperately to get off and have a better life, listen to this episode all the way to the end. It will inspire you! You’ll learn how to approach sales in a whole new and way more effective way. Learn more. LISTEN NOW.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

Orange County, California-based husband and wife product designer team Tom and Tracy Hazzard have spent more than 20 years living and designing together. Most recently Tom and Tracy have added to their resumes some impressive credentials (as if their credentials weren’t already mighty impressive).  

They can now add being 3D Print Product Designers, podcast hosts and authors of IP Battle Scars, Lessons and Evasive Tactics to their list of joint credits. As if that’s not enough, Tracy recently launched a cool new column called By Design for Inc. magazine! 

While this inventive couple have taken a lot of their own ideas to market they wanted to help others do the same. For clients they solve the problem of what to make, how to make it stand out and what it takes to make it competition-proof. Talk about knowing your customer! 

Collectively Tom and Tracy have designed and developed over 250+ retail products that generate more than $750 million dollars in revenue. They hold over 35 utility and design patents themselves with an 86% commercialization rate, which is double the USPTO-reported national average. 

This power pair knows what it takes to fight Goliath for patent infringement and win… and why it’s not worth it (their experiences are even featured in an entrepreneurship course at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management). 

Join us as Tracy talks about their path and tell us what it takes to get your ideas into the marketplace. In this episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast there are lots of lessons about problem-solving and developing systems that make your business work far better than it does today. 

There are some similarities between what Tracy and Tom do and what you as a real estate entrepreneur will do. They solve problems, they have to align the new idea with a particular market, they have to stay on task, they have to stay focused and they have to make go/no-go decisions. Oh, and they need to have an exit strategy in place at the get-go. 

You’ll want to grab a pen and paper for this episode, because this one has some really fresh information. If you’ve ever had a great idea for a product, you will want to pay really close attention. Learn more. Listen now.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

In this 271st episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast, I get to talk to Steve Rohr, a guy who has a lot to say about, well, speaking. If you get tongue-tied in front of other people or would love to get up on stage in front of audiences… if only you could overcome your stage fright… this is the episode for you!

Steve co-authored the book SCARED SPEECHLESS, which lays out the path to how you can get past your fear of speaking. In this insightful episode of the podcast, Steve tells us that there are reasons for the fear, like the fear of being judged. (Because we all judge all day long, right?) 

The fact is that when we’re sitting in an audience we are there to being entertained… not to judge. We are on the side of the speaker. So when you’re up in front of audiences large or small remember that the audience in on your side. No one is going to throw rotten vegetables. 

In his book, Steve gives nine ways to help us over the speaking-in-public hump. He talks about why we have fear and why fear is actually a good thing. By dissecting the primitive brain he helps us understand that the part of the brain that triggers the fight or flight response doesn’t know the difference between running from a dinosaur and getting up on stage. 

By the end of this episode you will have a new understanding of why you don’t have to be perfect during your presentations, why you want to be authentic and how to get through your time in the light. You will learn how to find your authentic voice, no matter where you are… on stage or off. Learn more. LISTEN NOW.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

Wouldn’t it be nice to have wheelbarrows of cash delivered to your door month after month? That’s what Cash Flow Diary podcast guests Jake Stenziano and Gino Barbaro do. Well, the money doesn’t really show up in wheelbarrows, but it’s kinda like that these days. Jake and Gino invest in apartment buildings across the country and now own hundreds of units. Yes, hundreds!

They even wrote a book on it. The title? Wheelbarrow Profits! 

Jake and Gino weren’t always working together. Their partnership happened over time. Gino has “amassed” six children, and they are the primary reason he jumped into real estate investing. Gino says some pretty interesting things. One is that he doesn’t mind working 60 hours a week, but he wants to decide how those hours are spent. He also says while he has a passion for real estate, his main passion is to spend time with his kids. He loves being a dad, because he gets to be a role model and show his kids there are things they can do to have the life they want. While they saw him work as the owner of a popular restaurant in New York they are now seeing him earn money while spending a whole lot more time with them. 

Jake’s story is a little different. He wasn’t a good student, but eventually went to college anyway, earning a physical education degree. Then he went on to earn his MBA. The switch happened when he got a part-time sales job and learned that he loved sales. Then he had a path that made sense to him. Jake tried different sales-type jobs and did well, but didn’t make a great employee because he couldn’t set his own rules. He became the go-make-it-happen guy, which made him a lot happier than working for other people who told him what to do. 

If you want to hear how a couple of guys from New York built an empire through buying large multifamily properties, listen to this episode. You’ll learn how to choose a good partner (if you want a partner), how to build a team and how to earn lots and lots… and lots of cashflow. 

Here’s a hint: you need to have a great operating agreement between partners or it won’t work. You have to be willing to have uncomfortable conversations with your partner or you shouldn’t take that partner. 

You’ll get to learn about scaling and outsourcing, too. This is a bit of a longer episode than others, but it is well worth your time and full attention. Learn more. LISTEN NOW.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

This episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast is a bit of a different animal. For this one I’m not alone. In fact, I invited my partner in life to join me today. Yes, it’s my lovely wife Popi. Join us as we discuss partnerships… and not just in marriage. 

In both business and in life, it takes a village to help us get through. Your life requires input from a few supportive people. (That said, stay away from negative people.) I’m fortunate to have Popi as my partner in all areas of my life.

Popi isn’t new to the concept of being a team player. She was a volleyball star in school. But that’s not all. You’ll have to listen to this episode to hear her path. Popi talks about how doing the boring stuff repeatedly is part of doing really well on the playing field. She also talks about how bonding works to make a tighter team. It boils down to trust. 

Admittedly, my wife is pretty terrific. She certainly supported me when I first got into real estate investing. She makes a great partner because she understands that everyone on a team – whether that’s family or in business – everyone plays different positions. 

If you listen closely, you’ll hear how playing on a team in sports is seriously similar to building a team in business! Not everyone will have the same role or skill sets. You need different ingredients to make your recipe for success work well. That includes partners. 

When you choose to work with a partner, you will each be responsible for different tasks. Play to your strengths. When putting deals together you need money, time, knowledge and credit, but that doesn’t mean it’s all on you to provide all these ingredients! 

Stick with this episode to the end and learn what it takes to choose the best partners and members of your team. There are several lessons in this very personal episode of Cash Flow Diary! Learn more. LISTEN NOW.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

Today’s Cash Flow Diary podcast guest Ian Balina is the CEO of PeerHustle, a mobile on-demand marketplace for today’s sharing economy and entrepreneurs everywhere. Ian does short-term real estate rentals and owns a video production company… and still keeps his day job at IBM!

So telling people you don’t have time to do much in real estate, you might want to stop saying it. Ian works every day and then every night… and he’s doing some pretty cool things. 

Ian has always kept a hustle in his step. He was raised in a strict household by educated parents who got him to read a lot. They made him go to the library during summers. So he started making it fun and read about people like Bill Gates and about technologies. Ian decided early on that he wanted to grow up to become a technology expert. So that’s what he did!

Ian was a self-learner, which meant he taught himself to build websites and all sorts of things online. This led him to starting his own web-design company and then started a design-hustle business. Eventually he and a friend created a multi-lingual dictionary online called Leximo. Ian was now a full-blown entrepreneur, approaching investors and learning the ropes as a business owner. While this idea didn’t go as far as Ian and his partner would have liked, he says it was a great experience and though the start-up stalled, Ian found his way to IBM as an IT guy. 

Ian says he has used his “hacker mentality” to create different things and keep himself busy. He says he doesn’t remember a time when he wasn’t trying to figure out how to hack different systems and learn how things work. 

What Ian and his team have created now is PeerHustle, a really interesting new mobile application that helps you find the right local freelancers for your needs and talented freelancers to find cool local gigs the social way. The cool thing you’ll learn is that Ian tested the market prior to creating the service for under $20! Learn more. LISTEN NOW.

Dear Future Top Performer,

Are you tired of working harder instead of smarter in your STR business? Here's a wake-up call: The most successful hosts aren't grinding 24/7 – they're leveraging a proven formula that transforms average properties into profit powerhouses.

Let me share something game-changing with you...

There's a simple yet powerful equation that's revolutionizing the STR industry:
L × C × F × M = GP

• Amplify their margins while others race to the bottom
