  • The Power of Lifebook, How to Maximize the 12 Key Categories of Your Life, and 4 Key Questions for Transformation [PODCAST 49]

    What would you be like at your very best? What would happen for you if you had complete certainty around your beliefs, vision, purpose, and strategy in the 12 key areas of your life?

    Lifebook is a transformational life development system (founded by Jon and Missy Butcher).

    Imagine being able to get crystal clear on what you REALLY want in 12 key areas of your life: Love Relationship, Parenting, Family, Social, Intellectual, Health, Career, Financial, Spiritual, Emotional, and more…

    Imagine being able to know the contribution and impact you're making in the world (is real)… or defining the connection and love you want in your relationships… or the significance, meaning, and purpose you're having in your career and financial life… or having complete certainty about what your love life and what that looks like for you…

    And then imagine having a blueprint to follow that helps you get rid of the limiting beliefs… replace those with more powerful beliefs, followed by your purpose and your reasons why, combined with a compelling vision of what you really want… and then being able to back that up with strategy.

    My experience was facilitated by Sandra Garest who is a great example of being an amazing "guide from the side" as she led us through the series of exercises… and incredible discussions. Considering I've attended over 100 personal development events since 1992, this was one of the most powerful and profound personal development programs I had ever experienced.

    Never before had I taken a deep dive into the 12 -key categories this way and I walked out with my personalized blueprint, vision, and purpose.

    I'd highly recommend this to you if you're looking for greater confidence, clarity, and direction in building your bigger future.

    Today's episode is just a glimpse into how this process has impacted me. I hope it will do the same for you. Grab a pen and paper and enjoy the journey…

    Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn in this show:

    • [0:31] Dan's introduction to Lifebook;
    • [6:34] How the LifeBook benefits you;
    • [8:37] The 4 key focuses for personal transformation;
    • [10:23] Case Study Revealed: Dan's "vision" for his marriage (an example);

    • And much more….

    You can get started by taking your own LifeBook assessment today. It takes you through 12 key categories that make up your life; Health and Fitness, your Intellectual Life, your Emotional Life, your Character, your Spiritual Life, your Love Relationships, Parenting, Social Life, Financial, Career, Quality of Life, and Life Vision. The goal is to assess each of those key categories in light of these 4 questions:

    What is your premise in this area? (your beliefs, good and bad)

    What is your vision for this area?

    What is your purpose in this area?

    What is your strategy for accomplishing your purpose?

    The LifeBook process is a deep dive into the most important things about you and the life. It enables you to not only ask the important questions, but also to make course correction(s), develop healthier beliefs, and create a plan to maximize your life in each category.

    And special thanks to Joe Polish for hosting this in Tempe and also Sandra Garest for being an incredible facilitator and guide!

  • The Future is Now: A.I., Robotics, the Abundance Mindset, Peter Diamandis, Abundance 360 and more [PODCAST 48]

    How will your life and business be impacted by A.I., Virtual Reality, Robotics, 3D Printing, Drone Technology, BlockChain, and Crowdsourcing?

    Today's episode is about today, tomorrow, and the future… and the Future is closer than you think! And what this means for you is that if you are positioned properly and prepared to implement these tools, you'll be poised ahead of your competition (and not be left behind).

    And I want to share a few ideas on how you can take advantage and be ready for these emerging technologies and opportunities…

    Having spent 4 days at "Abundance 360," (hosted by futurist, Genius Network Member, and co-founder of XPrize and Singularity University, Peter Diamandis) it was inspirational and certainly opened up my eyes to all kinds of opportunities for the future… It was a cross between Star Trek, Back to the Future, and I-Robot (the movie)....

    Here are some of the highlights you can use and apply today:

    Mindset: We talk a lot about the importance of mindset on the Growth to Freedom show, and in particular how to develop an "abundance mindset." If you're going to make the most of the powerful changes in technology, you've got to be able to foster and feed an abundant mindset.

    Exponential technology: Embracing the changes that are coming to the tech space can enable you to be on the cutting edge of the changes that impact your industry and your life. You've got to learn to think beyond what's possible today to see what might be possible in the very near future so that you can position your business for its greatest success.

    The crowd: Many companies are already tapping into the resources of the crowd, other people who have ideas, skills, and expertise that helps them move their business and ideas forward. How are you going to act when it comes to accessing the wisdom and insights of the crowd?

    Experimentation: What are you willing to fail at in order to develop and grow? Larry Page of Google is well known for saying that he counts the number of experiments and failures they've iterated as part of the success of Google, and you can see the benefits of doing so. What role does experimentation need to play in your product development, marketing efforts, and advances in your field of expertise.

    The wave is not coming. The future is now!

    Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn in this show:

    • [0:32] Abundance 360, Peter Diamandis, and your Future
    • [1:54] The future is closer than you think.
    • [3:17] How to tap into opportunities with 3D printing.
    • [4:19] Leadership: Extending the conversation about advancing technologies.
    • [8:24] What can happen as your mindset leans toward abundance.
    • [9:45] The cost of NOT having an abundance mindset.
    • [10:00] What are you willing to fail at for the sake of growth?
    • [13:09] What is the correlation between mindset and technology?
    • [15:57] How experimentation fits into your life and business growth.
    • [19:10] How to stimulate your thinking to get your ideas moving toward reality.

  • Wealth without Wall Street, The Big Short, and Creating Financial Freedom with Little Known Real Estate Strategies with Robert San Luis [PODCAST 46]

    What if traditional investment strategy's were really setup to make the big investors money, yet give you and I as the little guy just enough to stay in the game, but rarely win?

    Think it's possible?

    Instead of playing into speculation, volatility, and uncertainty, there is a better way to create cash flow and passive income sources so that you can set things up to enjoy retirement and get the piece of freedom you deserve.

    Today's guest is Robert San Luis. He is an advisor, coach, and best-selling author of "Wealth Without Wall Street: Seven Keys To An Early Retirement." Robert has spent most of his life trying to learn a better way to invest that provides true time freedom to average people.

    He's been an active investment advisor (and gave that side of his business up due to the unethical and unfair way the industry works), a real estate broker and investor, and now he teaches people what's really going on in the investment world, and how you can create passive streams of income - while creating cash flow at the same time.

    It's unique and different, and even Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has taken advantage of this little known strategy.

    The sad but true reality is that the stock market and the typical investment strategies are stacked against the average person. The big corporations and financial institutions have leveraged their influence to create systems that give them a massive advantage in terms of inside information AND technologies that allow them to make trades before you even get the chance.

    Robert San Luis has studied the investment industry at length and has discovered proven methods of getting your money OUT of the speculative, risky realm of Wall Street, and into investments that cash flow monthly and provide you the recession proof security you want and deserve.

    Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn in this show:

    • [0:31] What to expect in this great episode with Dan's guest Robert San Luis.
    • [2:15] Why "What's your number?" is the absolutely wrong question.
    • [4:52] How the stock market and investments are rigged so that YOU are not the winner.
    • [6:10] How to examine your strategy for retirement.
    • [8:10] Who is Robert San Luis? Why did he get into this specializes sort of knowledge?
    • [10:50] What Robert was known for in High School.
    • [13:30] How can the average person compete against the Wall Street Machine?
    • [18:18] What can listeners do to move themselves forward wisely in the investment realm?
    • [20:06] How Robert became interested in helping people with financial issues.
    • [23:55] What would it be like to find low-risk cash flow opportunities that were recession proof.
    • [29:21] Getting started investing in commercial mobile home parks and properties.
    • [32:15] The lowest point Robert's business career and what he learned from it.
    • [34:10] Who Robert turns to for advice in life and business.
    • [34:15] The importance of psychology surrounding money.

  • How to make your message an Amazon Bestseller, the Entrepreneurial Lifestyle, and Balancing Business and Family, with my kids Kira and Kyler, and Ric and Liz Thompson [PODCAST 43]

    Do you believe that you have a story to tell or a message to deliver to the world? Even more importantly, do you believe that you can get that message out as a bestselling book?

    It's possible. Not only is it possible, today I'm going to introduce you to two people who can show you the exact way you can make it happen.

    My 4 guests on this episode are people I dearly love and care about - My two children, Kira and Kyler, and Rick and Liz Thompson, co-founders of Done For You Solutions and Next Best Sellers. That may sound like an unusual combination of people to have on one show, but if you take the time to listen it will make perfect sense to you because this edition of Growth to Freedom is not only about getting a bestselling Amazon book published, it's also about balancing your business and entrepreneurial drive with the need for your family to be healthy and strong.

    Ric and Liz are experienced entrepreneurs and run a company that enables people just like you to get their story into book form and onto the Amazon bestseller charts. They've done it with over 100 books so far, and can do it with yours. Ric and Liz are also dedicated to their family and are very skilled at living out the entrepreneurial life and lifestyle with their family in tow. They are the first to admit that there are struggles and challenges when it comes to mixing entrepreneurism and family life, but they've been able to do it so far with great success and are eager to share that not only should that be the case for every entrepreneur, but that it CAN happen as well.

    In this conversation I chat with my kids about what it's like to live in my home, which as you can imagine, is very much impacted by the world of business and entrepreneurism, and I ask Ric and Liz to pipe in with their insights regarding the struggles involved in doing both business and family as well. My kids are able to share their dreams for the future and Liz and Ric are able to share their great advice about communication, understanding, patience, and hard work that go into making the home/business balance a reality that actually works.

    And mixed in with all of that is Ric and Liz' advice about how you can get the ideas and experience that is inside of you, out, and onto the pages of a book, and get it to the top of the Amazon bestseller list. That may sound like a pipe dream, or like something you're not skilled enough to do, but I think by the end of this conversation, you'll be a believer in what Ric and Liz can do for you, just like I am.

    Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn in this show:

    • [0:33] Dan's introduction to today's show and guests: Kyler and Kira, his children - AND Ric and Liz Thompson, founders of Done For You Solutions!
    • [3:13] Who are Ric and Liz Thompson?
    • [4:15] Liz speaks to the fact that everyone has a story inside them.
    • [5:44] The advice Ric and Liz give to parents who are creating a business.
    • [8:31] Rick and Liz share their lowest points as entrepreneurs.
    • [11:01] Kyler and Kira share the "Kuschell Values" - C.H.A.M.P.I.O.N.
    • [13:00] Advice Ric and Liz would give to their 20 year old selves.
    • [14:35] Dealing with fear as an entrepreneur.
    • [19:20] The questions Dan's family asks each other often.
    • [21:02] Kyler's plan for becoming a billionaire.
    • [21:44] Kyler and Kira's definitions of selling and marketing.
    • [22:20] Strategies and tips for getting started with publishing your work.
    • [24:55] What makes a person buy a book?
    • [26:43] The application of the old AIDA model to book sales.
    • [29:24] What if you're not a "good writer?" Can you still publish a bestseller?
    • [32:16] How to connect with Ric and Liz.
    • [33:08] The details of their workshop and the different options of how you can achieve bestseller status.
    • [34:00] If you can move past your fears, you can do it.
    • [36:07] How family, entrepreneurship, etc. are all the same thing.

  • How you can have 10X the effectiveness, success, fulfillment, and enjoyment in your business and personal life. [PODCAST 42]

    Where are you today compared to where you were 5 years ago?

    What would you say if I could GUARANTEE you 10X the results over the next 5 years?

    In today's episode of Growth to Freedom I'm on a solo rant of sorts. Why am I ranting? Because I'm lovingly, with all the passion I can muster, trying to communicate some very important concepts that could literally TRANSFORM your life. Honestly, these things are that important. If you could just grasp them, embrace them, and apply them to your life, you'd see some unbelievable changes over the next months and years of your life

    I want you to get this. I want you to see the transformative effects of the things I'm talking about today. And here's the amazing thing about them…

    Getting 10X growth is not as hard as you've been led to believe.

    People seem to think that in order to truly grow you've got to get some kind of expensive, specialized education or go to some high dollar seminar taught by a guru. But I'm here to tell you that it's not the case. In fact, on this episode I'm going to tell you exactly, step by step, how you can integrate a few, very small habits into your life that will make a compounding difference in you as a person, and your business and relationships as a result.

    There are 5 basic skills you need - and I'm going to tell you what they are in this episode.

    But I'm going to go in depth on a few of them to show you in practical terms what I mean. Here they are:

    One question to help you assess and recalibrate your direction and focus. My 10X10X10 morning ritual for you to adapt and use. Beyond those two things, I'm also giving you two hands-on tools that you can use to get yourself going. I originally created these tools for myself, so that I could begin implementing these things in my own life, but now I see that was just a step in the process that allows me to provide them for you.

    In the resources section of this page you can find my Monday Focus Maximizer and my Friday Focus Maximizer. Listen to the episode to hear what they are then download them and start using them.

    This is a very serious episode because it's about making the future better than the past, it's about seeing changes happen in yourself for the sake of your family, your business, and seriously - for the sake of the world around you.

    If you want 10X results in your life this episode gives you the place to begin.

    Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn on this episode:

    • [0:33] Dan's introduction to today's special show: 10X growth.
    • [1:35] 5 skills you need to achieve mastery in business or personal life.
    • [2:27] The outcome of not being able to recruit others into what you want.
    • [3:39] The one key thing to making 10X improvement possible.
    • [6:10] Using one important question to help you assess and improve.
    • [10:54] Dan's habits and rituals to become a peak performer.
    • [14:14] The ritual of starting your day: Dan's pattern for you to use.
    • [17:54] What is keeping you from doing that ritual?
    • [21:12] Two tools you can use to maximize your questions.
    • [23:00] The best definition of "selling" Dan has ever heard.
    • [24:38] Why there's no correlation between being good and getting paid. [28:06] What is in the way of you and your better future?
    • [29:51] Get Dan's special gift package: 602-246-3389 or visit the website - www.GrowthToFreedom.com/Mastery
    • [31:04] Where are you today compared to 5 years ago, and how would applying these principles make your answer different over the next 5 years?

  • Recalibrating Your Money Mindset, Thinking Like Millionaires Think, and Why You SHOULD Become Wealthy, With T. Harv Eker [PODCAST 41]

    Have you ever noticed that some people seem to struggle with money – day to day, stressed over bills, paycheck to paycheck…while others seem to have the money game figured out?

    What is it that separates the two people?

    Is it that they were smarter, had a better upbringing or born under a lucky star?

    The answers just might shock you.

    Whatever your dreams, todays guest is uniquely qualified to show you how to win the money game.

    T Harv Eker is uniquely qualified to show you how to win the money game. Harv went from zero to millionaire in less than 3 years, lost his fortune, and then realized that his own money mindset was flawed. He did the work of understanding and reprogramming his own thinking surrounding money to enable him to regain his fortune, build on it, and keep it.

    Harv made his discoveries about his own faulty beliefs about money through his own struggles. He realized that his "inner-money thermostat" was set for a specific amount of financial success, and that everyone else had a financial set point too.

    His most profound discovery was that this money blueprint could be changed. During his years of struggle, Harv made himself a promise: should he ever get rich, he would help others do the same. He's kept that promise, helping over 1.5 million people move closer to the goal of financial freedom.

    Everyone has a specific way, a specific blueprint to the way that they think about money. That means you do too.

    If you don't know what yours is, you need to watch and listen to this episode.

    And if you do, I guarantee you that Harv will share something in our conversation that will make you rethink your mindset and make adjustments so that you can reach even higher levels of success.

    On this episode Harv and I talk about his story, why it's necessary to undo false beliefs surrounding money, the two kinds of habits that impact people every day, the fundamental differences between rich people and poor people (and it's not the money), and why your real job is to play a much bigger game, no matter what you do for a living.

    This is a loaded episode and I'm glad you're here.

    Here's a glimpse of what you'll discover on this show:

    • [0:31] Dan's welcome and introduction to this episode with guest T. Harv Eker!
    • [2:37] The things that motivated T. Harv to strive toward being a millionaire.
    • [4:04] 14 jobs and 12 businesses, and lots of failure before he renovated the way he thought about money.
    • [6:39] What is a millionaire mind?
    • [8:22] How to reset your money mindset in short order.
    • [13:42] Why people are either exactly LIKE their parents or exactly OPPOSITE their parents when it comes to money.
    • [17:26] The absolute necessity of undoing the false beliefs we have surrounding money.
    • [20:38] Two kinds of habits and how they impact you every day.
    • [22:20] What does it mean that attitude determines success more than anything?
    • [24:40] Who would you be at your very best?
    • [25:21] Rich people play the money game to win.
    • [28:13] Why your job is to play much bigger, no matter what you're doing.
    • [31:30] The good reasons to become rich.
    • [34:09] Harv's final words of advice.
    • [35:18] Are you playing the big game or the small game? Are you on mission?
    • [37:10] Your action blueprint.

Freedom only happens when you are driven by purpose. As one of my friends Joe Polish says: "… if you want a breakthrough, you've got to break something…"
