Living The Red Life

Taxes! How do we make them fun and not so scary? Our Man in Red, Rudy, met Tom Wheelbrook on Richard Branson's Necker Island and struck up a like-minded rapport for making more money and paying less tax!

Tom has 40 years of quality experience in the tax business and runs a network of 65 CPA firms around the US. He’s one of the top tax minds around, and today he's sharing his sexy tax strategies on this penny-pinching episode of Living The Red Life. 

Rudy and Tom are showing us how to see the tax system as a series of incentives that can work for both you and the government if you play the game right. Going with the biggest tax firm is not necessarily the best, but paying top dollar for the right financial advice is totally worth it. 

The advice here today is free though. Everything from leasing electric cars to renting out your house tax-free is offered up to all our hungry Red Life entrepreneurs out there. Turn those small pennies into big dollars and come join us in Wonderland!

"Your best return on investment, for sure, is going to be your tax advisor. By far." ~ Tom Wheelwright

Negotiation is a skill that everyone should possess. Some would say it's an art. Rudy Mawer believes that being able to negotiate is as important as being able to communicate. It's a key part of life that will make you better in your business and personal life. 

Rudy has the skill of negotiation hardwired into his mindset, from being a child and asking for more from his parents, to buying and selling at school. And he still negotiates successfully in business every day. So he's well positioned to advise us on how we can overcome that uncomfortable feeling we get when we are asked to persuade someone about seeing things from another point of view. 

Negotiation can lead to new perspectives. It can mean that you bring in better staff to your business and that you have more harmony on the home front. Join the Man in Red as he lays it down for us: negotiation is indeed an art, and by harnessing its power, we can become better in business. Let's crush it. 

"It's going to give you this better structure in your life by simply unlocking this one skill." ~ Rudy Mawer

How can you exponentially grow your business by leveraging partnerships? Rudy is flying solo today, spilling the tea on a secret of the rich: synergies and partnerships.

From licensing to affiliation partnerships, Rudy is making it all super understandable for us. Even Rudy wishes he'd gotten a jump on this earlier in his career! 

Because as entrepreneurs we want to do it all ourselves, but it's important to know when to bring in a partner so you can cut yourself a bigger slice of a future pie. 

From understanding selling valuations for a company, to how you get there by growing your personal brand, developing affiliate relationships, and growing the right partnership to ensure long-term success, Rudy's red-hot take will help you realize that it's not about owning 100% of your business and doing it all yourself. These are words to live by. Please join us!

Are you ready for change? Not just any change, but actually creating that change in your business, your life, your marketing, your relationship, and your finances. As the Man in Red is laying it down for us, it's never too late to change. 

Most people are scared of change, there's a generational fear of doing things too differently. But if we look at successful artists, movie stars, sports stars, and entrepreneurs, they all change. Learning how to make that mindset shift, embrace change, and start Living The Red Life is what Rudy is supporting us in understanding today. 

The more we grow, the more we change our environment. There's lots to learn and lots to do. Let's unpack our limiting beliefs and learn from other successful entrepreneurs like Rudy so we can do something that is wildly different, something that is going to take us out of our comfort zone. Because in the red zone is where you need to be. Welcome to Wonderland.

What does it take to host an event with 14000 people? What mindset does it take to fill an arena? Him500 is a public figure, thinking about his audience, educating his community – and filling arenas and masterminding events as he goes and grows. 

Him500 (AKA Marcus Barney) is a business mentor who got his real estate license when he was 19 and learned the principles of leveraging credit which are some of the skills he’d one day pass on to others in his community. He also went to a live event and told his moms that one day he’d be packing out arenas. 

And now he’s filling Madison Square Gardens, combining an appreciation of in-person community with teaching those that dare to dream that your credit score is your financial superpower. 

Him500’s story of ambition and determination earns Rudy’s respect. For those of us Living The Red Life, we can take a leaf out of the book of this business mentor that’s blowing up – and making others rich alongside him. Check @Him500 out now, this guy is the real deal.

“Mindset-wise is looking at: where is my audience? What would make them come? I know they watch me, but what is the extra whipped cream on top? What is the extra sauce that I can put to where they get more for their time?” ~ Him500

What does stewardship mean to you? For Vince Del Monte, it's about taking care of his God-given talents and making the most of this one short life that he's been given. Vince knows that fear is the path to freedom and that the entrepreneurial journey that he walks is lined with challenges.  

Rudy met Vince Del Monte when he'd just moved to Florida, and they've been growing together as entrepreneurs along similar paths for a good few years now. Both were working as gym instructors, doing one-on-one coaching, and cleaning gym equipment back in the day.

Both got exposed to online marketing, selling ebooks, and earning passive income instead of having a JOB. This is a conversation between two friends who are now both Living The Red Life,  having built big coaching programs with multi-million dollar fitness campaigns. 

Neither are satisfied to rest. Both are ambitious for ‘new levels with new devils’ – challenges to be overcome, rather than problems that can't be solved. Join Rudy and Vince in a conversation that will whet your appetite for ambition and red life living. It’s time to face your fear and start Living The Red Life. 

"You always have an opportunity to decide how you reframe a challenge or a circumstance. And I think that's an empowering message, one that gives a lot of people hope." ~ Vince Del Monte
