In this episode, Casanova and Ken talk about how your mindset can help you make your dreams a reality.
Ken prides himself on being the same passionate guy, no matter where he is. Whether it is the church, or his family and friends, or GSD, he exudes the same passion about life. He loves helping business professionals build confidence, gain clarity, and create community.
Ken had an eventful childhood, and he moved around a lot. Things changed dramatically in August of 1993 when he gave his life to Christ, and that was his ‘aha’ moment. This is where he began to develop passion.
While he is not in full-time vocational ministry, he still does as much pastoring, life mentorship and help people win and figure out what life is all about, as he did before. Cas adds that it just shows that this didn't just start overnight, and it's always been who he is.
Ken’s journey towards entrepreneurship started after his position was let go by a company that he worked for, three days before Christmas. He started with a brand-new church, and grew that youth ministry from about half a dozen kids to about 250 to 350 on a weekly basis.
It became one of the largest youth ministries in the country, and that's where he really started to discover it. After that, he needed a break because he had two little baby girls at the time and went to work for a friend at a mortgage company. There, Ken made $146,000 in his first year.
Following that, he started his own mortgage company, which has done close to $300 million in real estate transactions. It was just a progression; there’s no overnight success. Ken believes that if you surround yourself with world-class people in your field, you will succeed and grow exponentially regardless of what you do and learn from them.
Having just literally unbelievable connections and moments with people to people like Grant Cardone, Ken felt like the businessman on the inside of him, just getting born and revitalized again.
He believes that you can grow your business, leaps and bounds into whatever profession you're in if you get around the right people, who have been down the road and who have that 10,000-foot view of what's going on in your life.
Ken adds that being successful and being significant are two vastly different things. For him, he wants to add value and help the people around him win. If he has an intern on his team, and he helped them win, he will go to bed with a higher level of fulfillment than somebody who just added another comma in their bank account that day.
Cas recalls hearing about a Warren Buffet quote on success at a sales meeting. The number of people that show up to someone’s funeral are the people whose lives they had impacted when they were alive.
Ken believes that for some people, status does not move the needle. They are more concerned about how they can help somebody on their team win and be successful and experience more personally, professionally, and financially.
For people who lack the financial resources to get coaching from masterminds, or go to boot camps, they can use free resources like YouTube, podcasts, and some of the best-selling books.
Ken narrates how he discovered Grant Cardone through an Instagram ad, which led to him attending a free webinar, to a $997 mentorship, like a 12-week mentorship, to flying out to attend 10X Boot Camp.
At that time, Ken was working on a $3 million commercial, that would earn him a $78,720 commission. Unfortunately, following a bank appraisal, the property was valued at $2.625 million, which was $375,000 short.
Ken flew to Miami to 10X Bootcamp, and during a private Q&A session, Grant advised him to close the deal, because if they overpay for the building right now, somebody will overpay for it when they sell it.
They ended up closing the deal, and last six weeks of the year, he closed over 2 million more dollars. His business took off from there, and it has not stopped, all because he took a risk.
Cas adds that it is the anxiety of what might happen that stops us from taking that leap. If you can even conceive it in the beginning, it’s achievable. Ken describes the importance of three types of relationships every one of us needs; your community, your circle, and your corner.
He continues that when you get those three spheres of relationships right in your life, it'll take you places you never thought you could go. Ken adds that you should find somebody that is unbelievably gifted, at what you’re doing and learn from them. That is the one thing that he wishes that he had implemented sooner to accelerate his journey.
Talking about what motivated him to join the eXp Realty, Ken shared that it was not because he was excited about doing real estate, it’s because he wanted to help his team get better every day. eXp Realty is like a nationwide community.
Speaking of the GDS Boot Camp, Ken said that such opportunities allow you to be able to not just rub shoulders with industry leaders, but also build relationships because this can be a game-changer in your life. If you take the risk and invest in yourself.
For people looking to take action, Ken said that you have everything within you. God designed you with everything within you, to live out the purpose that he has for you. You shine and you be you and make a positive difference in the world.
