Lots of times, people say outside forces are hindering them from being successful.  I call FOUL!  Why?  Because while yes, some external factors exist that attempt to hold us back...we are usually our own hindrance.  And it begins with our thinking.  

This is an in-your-face, no holds barred episode.  I'm talking about the negative thinking that you're creating as your own reality that's holding you back.  

If you want to achieve success, then you must first believe that it’s possible. If you doubt your ability to succeed, you will never take the actions necessary to make it happen.

Changing your thinking patterns may take some practice, but it’s well worth the effort. Your success depends on it.

More about and from Lane:

Aloha, my name is Lane!

After 12 years as a Licensed Professional (PE) Civil/Industrial Engineer, I fired the boss and began to focus 100% of my time on my investing and helping others in my Passive Investor Accelerator & Mastermind. 

I began investing in 2009 in rainy Seattle; being a ramen-eating cheapo, I was able to buy a property early, right after college. After discovering the difference between ‘Cashflow Investing’ and ‘appreciation investing (gambling/speculating)’… I moved my portfolio into 11 single-family rentals in Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Pennsylvania. Today, I am investing in syndications that invest in Class C & B Multi-Family Apartment, RV Parks, mobile homes, and assisted living facilities because of this Nation’s demand for affordable housing – not rich people's Class-A assets. My mission is to help regular people into good deals that were once only accessible to the rich. The passive income from investing in stabilized rental properties made it possible for me to move back home to Hawaii, where the cost of paradise is 10%+ cost of living and -30% less pay for comparable jobs on the US mainland. There I was able to live a lifestyle where I was able to bike to work. It did not take me long, however, to finally quit the day job and ditch the e-bike for a Mercedes.

Annoyed by the bogus real estate education programs out there (that take money from people who don’t have it in the first place), I set out to make this free website to help other hard-working professionals, the shrinking middle-class dispel the Wall-Street dogma of traditional wealth-building and offer an alternative to “garbage” investments in the 401K/mutual funds that only make the insiders rich. We help the hard-working middle-class build real asset portfolios by providing free investing education, podcasts, and networking plus access to investment opportunities not offered to the general public.

Yes, the website is a little all over the place but join me on my journey to help build the Simple Passive Cashflow system.

Brandon Leibowitz of SEO Optimizers brought key elements to the show today surrounding SEO, the dark web, how long it should take, and other valuable insights.   The main vital takeaway here is that when it comes to SEO timeframes - It really depends on the business, it depends on the competitors, and it depends on what you're trying to rank for. If you have a highly competitive keyword, you may be looking at 6 months before you start seeing any real results. But if you have a less competitive keyword, you might start seeing results within a couple of months.   Take a listen and be sure to grab your notebook, journal, coffee, tea, or beverage of choice and take great notes.

In this extremely insightful interview, I am speaking with Phil Johnson of Master of Business Leadership Inc., headquartered in Ontario, Canada.  

Phil brought to light the methodology around emotional intelligence and why we need it in the world today, specifically in the business building arena.   

It was truly an honor to speak with Phil, and I'm excited to share this interview with all of you!

Here's a note from and more about Phil:

For the past 21 years, I have been an executive coach assisting executives and organizations to bet on themselves by developing their emotional intelligence. MBL program alumni are in the US, Canada, UK, Europe, Japan, Germany, Bosnia, Africa, Australia, the Middle East, and Saudi Arabia. 📈 Career Revenue $1.5 Billion." 

A UC Berkeley study over 40 years found emotional intelligence is 400% more powerful than intellectual intelligence in predicting success.

Let's pull apart some key struggles that keep us from really dialing into this trifecta that's absolutely necessary for our lives.  So I want to give you five common terms we use, but I want to put language to it that will help you identify if this is you.  Because the bottom line is this...I can tell you all day that you can get over FEAR OF SUCCESS OR FAILURE; you can get over NOT KNOWING YOUR WHY, you can get over NOT HAVING A CLEAR VISION FOR YOUR LIFE SO AND SO FORTH.  Do you understand what I'm saying?  I can tell you all of these, but if you don't see it active in your life...then you continue down the wrong path with no help in sight.

More about Terry Tucker:

I have reinvented myself frequently over my professional career. After I graduated from college at The Citadel (where I played NCAA Division I basketball), I was employed in the Marketing Department at the corporate headquarters of Wendy’s International in Dublin, Ohio. From there, I worked in hospital administration for Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. After getting married and moving to California, I became the Customer Service Manager for an academic publishing company in Santa Barbara. When our daughter was born and we moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, I became a police officer with the Cincinnati Police Department, where I was a SWAT Hostage Negotiator. In 2004, I obtained my Masters's degree from Boston University. Following a family relocation to Texas, I started a school security consulting business and coached high school girls basketball. Each time I took on a new job, I had to develop new skills and faced different challenges. There was always a significant learning curve with every new position.

In addition to my faith, I use my 4 Truths to guide the decisions I make in my life. These 4 Truths are:

If you are besieged with anything in your life, know there are people available, able, and willing to help you. I understand what it is like to fight for your life. I hope the quotes, stories, videos, recommendations, and podcast recordings on these pages will encourage and motivate you to fight on against whatever is hindering you. However, if you are overwhelmed by what is going on in your life, please have the courage to contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at: 800-273-8255 (USA Only).
