"Don't lose sight of where you're going and how you got there. But also be humble enough to listen to people who are a lot smarter than you."

"In whatever life lesson or whatever coaching that you're doing, that's really what it should be about. How do you pay it forward? How do you make whatever success you have and allow somebody else to bask in that and create their own strength?”

Ready for your next big thing? Well, that takes intentionality and shifting from a fear-based mindset to a mindset of opportunities. That also means being willing to step out of your comfort zone so you can create your life of freedom by design. Otherwise, you will find yourself stuck in the same place you were 10 years ago.

In today’s conversation, Ben Kall, former Division 1 athlete and coach turned real estate agent and investor shares his journey from sports to real estate. Ben is an example of what it’s like to chase the next big thing – not the next shiny object.

Ben went into real estate as just a holdover job until he was able to find something in sports again. But what he thought was a short-term stint turned out to be something he is now super passionate about. Now back in his hometown for about seven years , Ben’s real estate team is consistently one of the top five teams within their RE/MAX franchise. Ben was also able to build his own real estate portfolio of over $20 million in assets consisting of storage, multifamily, and triple net lease.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

[22:05] Ways to protect yourself from recession

[25:26] Getting out of your comfort zone and freeing yourself from all the judgment

[31:24] Surrounding yourself with people who have the same mindset

Notable quotes from the Episode:

"Our entire life that we're building is by design for freedom. And it's not about money and greed, and just acquiring stuff to be super wealthy. It's about designing a life that we'd really want to live."

"True cash flow, wealth creation, and tax strategies – all of the big things to create freedom are all done through commercial real estate.”

“Surround yourself with people that are comfortable talking about these things as opposed to being judged in your community about just being an investor or being a landlord and just being greedy and wanting to take advantage and make more money.”

Everyone wants to quit at some point in their life. We're all quitters, in the sense that if we can’t take something anymore, then we’re going to do the next thing. The question is – when and how do you quit?

In today’s discussion, Pat Hiban and Tim Rhode, GoBundance co-founders and co-authors of the book, The Quitter’s Manifesto, talk about how and when to quit your job. They share their own experiences of quitting and what it has been like being on the other side.

Quitting is a scary thing for sure! Just the thought of it makes you over complicate stuff. What if it doesn’t work out? What if there aren’t that many opportunities available? All these questions start to inundate your mind. But what if it does work? It’s all a matter of mindset.

Notable quotes from the Episode:

“We're all quitters. If you look at it, we're all the type of people who say, if I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore, then I'm going to do the next thing."

"It's so important that you come at this from your own perspective and just have your own way of going in."

"I want to challenge you to get out of your head… not over complicating and just being happy.”

"The truth is that quitting is scary… you should be scared shitless and it is a fear that needs to be overcome. That's going to actually help you succeed on the other end of quitting."

“Emotions are here to tell us something. They're here to give us clues.”

“The mind forgets but the body always remembers.”

“It's really easy to scale a business. Just stop looking at the fear. Continue to push into it and educate yourself with people that are higher up where you are and duplicate what they do. Take a couple of alterations – bam! You're a successful business.”

"We live in a culture that doesn't reward you for knowing who you are."

Leaving your W2 so you can transition into something that gives you lifestyle freedom definitely takes a mountain of courage. But once you commit to that intention, set and measure your goals, and develop a daily routine that sets you up for success, then your opportunities are boundless.

In this conversation, real estate investor Chad Kirkpatrick shares how he was able to 10X his net worth from when he started investing in 2011, to now being the sole owner of over $8 million in real estate and other investments.

“When you get an opportunity, take it–no matter how crazy.”

“It's very easy to get comfortable and be the smartest person in the room... but when you have 2, 3, or 4 times more than you, it changes your thinking and your dynamic.”

Regardless of what your past looks like – whether you’ve had some addiction issues,  been incarcerated, had a failed marriage, or whatever situation you were in due to a bad decision you’ve made–there’s nothing you can do to change your past. But you can always focus on the present and work towards a better, brighter future. You either create excuses or create opportunities ; it’s your choice!

In today’s conversation, Michael Santos, the founder of Prison Professors, talks about how a drug kingpin serving a 45-year sentence, managed to change the course of his life and to craft his own success story. Even while in prison, Michael created opportunities that would allow him to contribute to the lives of other people. It was also in prison that he learned about the Socratic way of thinking, an approach that helped make his transformation possible.

[30:21] How he got through difficult times in prison

[36:53] A sense of gratitude instead of regret

[43:20] Adjusting to the world outside of prison

[50:40] His journey through writing

[58:19] How he got started with real estate

[61:42] Why he created Prison Professors

Notable quotes from the Episode:

"None of us can change the past... but we can always work to influence the future."

"When you have that mindset of knowing what you want, you can start making decisions accordingly.”

“We either create opportunities or create excuses – it's our choice.”

“Everybody has the power within to make a better life."

“The right decision at the wrong time is the wrong decision.”

Defiance – that’s one word that would probably best describe a great entrepreneur. For real estate investor and property manager, Carlos Rovira, a rare quality is being able to do things out of the ordinary as you’re operating in a mediocre world. You’re going against the grain and you’re taking risks that nobody else is doing.

After working at tech company Yahoo! for nine years, Carlos made a leap into the real estate investing space. A natural problem-solver, he assumed management of his entire Kansas portfolio when he encountered an issue with his property manager. He then ended up building his own property management business and creating systems around it – not something any investor would have done if they didn’t have the entrepreneurial chops.

In today’s conversation, Carlos shares his insights into these three entrepreneurial must-haves –  defiance, problem-solving, and strong relationships!

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

[01:42] Carlos’ career background

[05:47] Transitioning from the tech world to real estate investing

[10:28] How he accidentally became a property manager

[20:13] Carlos’ family background and entrepreneurial roots

[26:37] An overview of his company structure

[30:04] What it’s like working with your spouse

[35:05] The value from joining GoBundance

[37:47] The defiance quality that entrepreneurs have

Notable quotes from the Episode:

“I realized that the only way to build actual wealth is to work for myself.”

"The real power of real estate is seen or realized in the long term and the longer you hold."

"Entrepreneurs tend to go against the grain a lot... you have to, because if you don't, then you stay the same. And then when you stay the same, there's no innovation."

“Property management is just all problem-solving. It's all you're doing all day long – solving problems."

How are you feeling about all the noise in the world today? All the voices saying to be scared when you see opportunity?

Today, I’m going to talk about the three reasons why now is the best time to join GoBundance. It’s so valuable to invest in yourself because it’s actually where your greatest ROI comes from. If you’re still understandably hesitant because of everything that’s going on in our world, approaching things with an opportunity-focused mindset will go a long way.

We are at a time right now when we need to be part of a community more than ever. When you get into a room with people who are thinking the same way as you or are in situations similar to you, you're not only tapping into their genius and their wisdom, but the wisdom of the networks they've created. And this isn’t something you will get from any regular network. You need a network that will empower you and move you in the direction you want to go, not just financially, but in all aspects of your life.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

[02:30] The need to be surrounded by smart people

[06:42] The opportunity mindset vs. the scarcity mindset

[07:46] What happens when you’re around people who are opportunity-focused

[09:11] Investing in yourself creates the greatest, holistic ROI

Notable quotes from the Episode:

“When you are a business owner or an entrepreneur and investor… you're in a very unique position compared to the rest of society. It's hard to relate to your regular network.”

"You've got to surround yourself with smart people. That can be content, that could be newsletters that you read or smart people.”

"Our regular networks are in a scarcity mindset."

"Investment in ourselves returns the greatest holistic ROI."

"When you get into a room with people who are thinking the same way as you… you're tapping into not only their genius and their wisdom, but the wisdom of the networks they've created."
