Ben Oosterveld is an entrepreneur, speaker, and real estate professional. He is the Founder of Twenty New Clients, where he powerfully coaches, trains, and mentors real estate agents across Canada. As a high-performing real estate agent himself, he trains his clients in unique, high impact marketing strategies that are geared to “blow the client’s minds!” In his first two years as a real estate agent, he earned $1,000,000 in commissions and is committed to supporting his clients in going from workers to business owners with his philosophy of “Business From Within,” focused on the man or woman behind the strategy.

This conversation with Ben Oosterveld is a high energy, playful, deep, and raw one. We talk about how he lived on the streets, went to rehab, had issues people-pleasing, putting people on pedestals all the way to him creating a successful real estate investment company of 61 properties, shutting it down, and reinventing his entire life from scratch. You are bound to walk away from this one motivated, inspired, and moved to the core.

Ben Oosterveld deeply cares about what people think but is not controlled by that anymore… He was a people pleaser for years living daily with a high level of internal pressure to perform while judging himself constantly in his mind.

But today, Ben is now truly comfortable in his own skin and is no longer worried to offend and risk a relationship by saying the things people desperately need to hear.

He deeply cares for the human soul and has dedicated his life to being himself unapologetically. To this day Ben challenges everything he thinks, feels and believes by asking,

“Is this truly mine or something I was told to believe?”

The result is a real and raw and deeply inspiring human being who understands what he wants, who he is and what’s important.

Ben has 5 kids that now call him daddy and enjoying a real marriage that truly satisfies his soul. He became a Realtor and within his first two calendar ye, rs he made $1,000,000 in commissions and truly dominated his local market.

He became a Real Estate Agent with the one purpose: mentoring Real Estate Agents to have a life that they actually love, to deepen their closest relationships, eliminate self sabotage, stop being the worker and become the business owner.

The result for the Real Estate Agents he mentors is a truly fulfilling life with high net worth businesses that serves them and blows the minds of their clients.

Cory Chadwick is the founder of The Personal Greatness Project, empowering teenagers and young adults to thrive in a quickly changing world, and realize their potential as their greatest authentic selves.

Having survived a brain virus in his teens, Cory was forced to make a choice – a choice we all have to make – about who he wanted to be and what kind of life he wanted to live. Cory could have let his illness define and limit him, but instead he chose to take a stand against mediocrity. He was determined to discover what he was capable of so he can live up to his potential.

He believes there’s something great inside each one of us just waiting to come out, and we’re capable of amazing things when it does. That belief led to Cory selling his successful restaurant and bar business so he could commit to impacting lives and making a difference. He’s a proud husband and father, a passionate speaker, and mentor to teens and twenty somethings to upgrade their personal operating systems in order to function optimally in the world.

Today my guest is The Cornerman, Dr. Jeff Spencer. After meeting Jeff for the first time I was blown away to hear about his experiences, insights, and observations on goal achievement and the champion’s mindset. I truly value his wisdom and have implemented what I’ve learned from our conversations, his newsletters and this interview. It has created an immense amount of clarity, focus, and action for me in my business.

If you don’t already know him, Jeff is someone who wants you to win big. He has over several decades in the high-performance world as an Olympian and cornerman to champions and has evolved a repeatable blueprint for anyone to get what they want. His goal is to share with you his step-by-step proprietary process that has created Olympic gold-medalists, world champions and has helped celebrities, business, and political leaders to accomplish their goals consistently and predictably.

In this episode, we dive into the impact of self-care on your day, distinguishing the champion’s nature vs human nature, the value of doing the most difficult task first, distinguishing between goal setting and goal achievement, the importance of seeing the path forward and much, much more.

I am so excited for you to absorb Jeff’s wisdom. Enjoy!
