Real Money Talks

Today I have Ezanne with me.  We met 10 years ago in South Africa.  Now she lives in Canada.  She has had an enormous journey of learning and sharing.  She is here to talk about the business side and how her background can help you. 

Ezanne Swanepoel has been primarily working in Africa for the last twenty years.  She was born and grew up in Africa and also engaged in Europe and some Asia countries over the last twenty years.   Ezanne is one of the leading money and empowerment experts helping people strip the blockages and filters that prevent them from unlocking their path to prosperity, fulfillment, and contribution. 

Ezanne shares her different experiences and perspectives from growing up in Africa and living in the United States and Canada.  She teaches people how to make and keep money while making an impact.

Show Notes:

• [02:18] African children are traditionally named after places, spirits, ancestors, events, or anything occurring during the time of their birth.  They believe a name can influence both the life of a child and family, so choosing a name is done with great care and consideration.  
• [03:20] Ezanne means the good, righteous mother.    
• [04:35] She has known that her calling since birth is to help people and businesses to unlock their path to prosperity, fulfillment, and contribution by serving the greater good.  
• [06:08] There are significant differences in other cultures around money.  In Africa, it is all about collaboration.     
• [06:57]  Africa is a “we culture,” so when you earn money it is for sharing and uplifting of everyone.  
• [07:50] People in America have a significantly different relationship with money in general than Africans.  
• [09:12] Looking at the U.S. and Africa as a whole, they have more enterprise thinking than Canada.  
• [11:01] When people view things as scarce, they don’t see a possibility to even angle in that avenue.  
• [11:16] People err on caution when speaking about money. In general, very few people are willing to speak about their financial situation or understanding money.  
• [13:15] Creating financial wealth is complex.    
• [15:28] It is important to identify the right people to speak to and then collaborate with in order to sustain wealth creation.  
• [15:43] Once you learn how to make money and keep it, then you need the right team to support you in sustaining that approach.
• [16:17] We have to start by shifting the mindset from the why not to the why yes.  This seems easier said than done because people have a lot of programming from their past. 
• [17:02] The first step in eradicating fear is gaining more control of your situation.  You can’t feel in control if you don’t even understand your situation.  
• [17:40] You need to start creating more cash in order to get you to that place where you need to go.  Ezanne does research on the wealthiest people in the world. 
• [19:01] As you become more and more successful, life will definitely give you some curveballs.  
• [20:17] The first step in collaboration is to be clear on the parties that are involved and why they are involved.   
• [22:08] In America and Canada there are more decided relationships with a particular intent. 
• [23:32] Ezanne wants to serve from a North American perspective.  
• [24:12] She wants to help people on a large scale shift from their financial struggles during COVID.  
• [24:29] We owe it to ourselves to wake up and step into our authentic selves and to serve with the unique gifts that we came to earth with.

On today’s episode, we have a very new way to make money and be in business with a special international guest.  Breanna Sponcey was a winner in our Virtual Meetup and Marketplace and is joining me on the show today to share about her business successes.  

Breanna Sponcey grew up in Fallon, Nebraska.  She started cleaning houses at the age of nine and had her own landscaping business in high school.  She was never comfortable working for someone else, so after high school, she moved to Reno and started her own make-up business.  She did the make-up for models, photoshoots, and weddings and that led to doing theater make-up where she was head of the department on Broadway.  She had an awesome opportunity to move to Costa Rica.  Before moving she joined a network marketing business to have something to fall back on.  After a year of building that business, they were able to buy a bar that they turned into a successful nightclub and then later added their own delivery and advertising business.    

Breanna’s goal was to create three successful businesses by the age of thirty.  She shares her business experience and how she reached this goal months before her thirtieth birthday.  Breanna shares her experience creating her brick and mortar and direct sales businesses.  She also shares the key steps and techniques that have led to her entrepreneurial success.  

Show Notes:

• [01:29] Breanna started working around the age of nine cleaning houses.  
• [02:32] She joined a network marketing business before moving to Costa Rica to have something to fall back on since she had no idea what their plans were when they arrived.   
• [02:46] After a year of building that business, they were able to buy a bar that they turned into a successful nightclub.  
• [02:57] Her goal was to own three successful businesses before she was thirty and she was able to hit that goal one month prior to her thirtieth birthday.   
• [03:24]  She is always looking for the next best thing and never wants to miss an opportunity because of a lack of knowledge or skills.  
• [03:56] Yes moments are when you have no idea what you are doing, but you very quickly go figure it out. 
• [04:26] Breanna won third place in the Virtual Meetup and Marketplace event. 
• [05:03]  Breanna started watching all Loral’s videos on Facebook and knew that she needed to join the event.  Aside from all the knowledge and the money she made, the network she created was the best part.  
• [06:03] Her goal was to add team members to her MLM team and her entry item was a raffle ticket for a VIP experience at the nightclub. 
• [06:46] Each month in her direct sales business, she has different offers including drawings for bigger products.
• [07:42] There are many different ways to make money.  
• [07:55] Breanna shares about finding and building their nightclub. 
• [09:07] They were looking for businesses they could buy.  It was tough at first and after many red flags, they finally found a bar to buy.   
• [10:12] They outgrew their first space and started building a new space.  
• [10:57] They purchased their space with money they had saved prior to moving and money they earned with the multi-level marketing business so they didn’t need to take a loan.  
• [11:27] Their nightclub was completely shut down on March 16th and they don’t have plans to reopen until November based on Costa Rica’s rules for nightclubs.  
• [13:18] The pandemic has opened a few doors that no one would have considered if not forced to pivot in this way in these times.  
• [14:24] The biggest lesson for Breanna is to always have a support system.    
• [14:34] It is all about doing the work, making the mistakes, taking risks to find out what works, and surrounding yourself with people that are where you want to be.  
• [16:16] She chose her MLM because she had been using the products since she was eighteen years old, so it was a natural choice.  
• [16:44] After working really hard for one year it became a passive income stream for them. 
• [18:01] Her strong team has been a crucial part of her success in her direct sales business.  She provides resources and support to anyone that wants to join their team and create a business.
• [18:21] It is the same with any business, we have to make changes constantly.
• [18:40] You have to follow the trends that are working, drop the ones that are not, and find the next ones.
• [19:08] Breanna’s number one tip is to get involved with a team that is already led in the way you want to be a leader.

In the marketplace awareness series, we are talking about what is going on in the economy and how to make money.  We have conversations about making money, keeping money, and investing money.  Today I have an extraordinary gentleman on the podcast.  Jim Blasko is with me today and we are talking about digital currency and the market.

Jim Blasko is the co-founder, station developer, and program director for Bitcoin Talk Radio.  They bring all the bitcoin content to one location for easy access.  They include podcasts, price updates, latest news updates, and music. Jim is also the CEO of Aspire and CTO for Talent Joe.  Aspire is a revolutionary smart contract platform designed to allow users to easily create their own digital assets under a faster and more secure environment. Talent Joe is an online social platform that brings talent together with celebrities, stars, industry professionals, and fans into one central location to form a powerful community. Jim currently resides in Las Vegas.  

In this episode, we talk about bitcoin and digital currency including the fast-approaching future of digital currency.  Jim shares his experiences, some good and some bad, with bitcoin.  We talk about the first steps for getting started, ways to protect yourself from scams, and Jim’s successes and upcoming projects.  

Show Notes:

• [01:43] Jim has a radio station called Bitcoin Talk Radio. Bitcoin Talk Radio is 24/7 streaming, it has been around since 2014, and it’s the first bitcoin fully licensed radio station.  
• [03:01] You have to do your research and really look into all these different platforms, programs, and cryptocurrencies.  
• [03:57] The stock market took a big hit with COVID-19, but bitcoin has recovered to where it was prior to the pandemic.  It took a price dip at first, but it has come back faster than most things have.  
• [04:58] Bitcoin is more of a way of life and there are going to be ups and downs in this way of life.   Bitcoin has a great long-term future. 
• [06:23]  J.P. Morgan decided they are now going to work with bitcoin. Those who didn’t like it are starting to warm up.  
• [08:31] The first key is to have a wallet.  
• [09:55] If you don’t hold your keys, you’re not holding your money. Not your keys, not your bitcoin. 
• [10:32] Coin Base is a centralized place similar to a bank.  It is very convenient, but the problem is that you are not holding your own money.  
• [11:41] These exchanges sometimes get hacked. 
• [13:23] Jim recommends two devices.  One to hold you main stash of bitcoins and one that holds what you want to carry around with you.  
• [13:47] There are going to be scams in anything that is popular.  You have to be very careful.  
• [14:34] Do your research.  Look into these projects including who is behind the projects, research the names, and do online background checks.  Look for the guys who have made other projects that were successful. 
• [15:54] There used to be a lot more exchanges in the United States.  There is less now, because of the regulations.   
• [16:24] Bittrex is an exchange that has been around for quite a while and it is U.S. regulated.  They have a lot of alternative cryptocurrencies instead of just having the main ones.  
• [18:31] A token is something that runs on somebody else’s platform. 
• [18:44] Aspire is a platform that Jim has been working on for three years. Aspire is a platform that lies over the top of a blockchain that they built. They have another software over the top of that which allows people to create their own coin.  
• [20:14] Jim doesn’t recommend or trust cryptocurrencies that back gold. Jim prefers to own his gold physically and have his cryptocurrency.  
• [21:07] Bitcoin is not backed by gold.  It is backed by the people that use it.  
• [21:22] Hal Finney, an amazing computer scientist, created blockchain technology.  He built it before bitcoin was a thing.   
• [22:08] Blockchain technology is a viewable history of all transactions that ever happened on the network. 
• [23:52] You can’t pass diseases with digital money.  You can’t get sick from cryptocurrency.  
• [24:35] Most likely we are going to see a stable coin that has a set price.  At some point, they are going to force everyone to convert from paper money to digital money.    
• [25:22] In 15-20 years or less paper money will be gone.    
• [27:07] Bitcoin is borderless.  It doesn’t have any boundaries when traveling to other countries. You can carry your bitcoin with you anywhere in the world.   
• [28:29] Talent Joe will allow people to create their own cryptocurrencies or tokens.  
• [30:44] Big things are coming from Talent Joe in the next 6-8 months. 
• [31:02] Talent Joe is the killer app for Aspire.  Aspire is a great technology and Talent Joe is going to put it to use.

• [34:12] Jim shares about reopenings and changes coming in Las Vegas during these times.

• [04:30] March 17th was the biggest stock market crash since 1929.  
• [06:10]  Loral helps people overcome doubt by helping them actually make money.  
• [07:08] It is not about your mindset.  It is that you don’t ask for money.  If you don’t ask you won’t receive it.  
• [08:12] What are you going to start doing now and stop doing? The more successful people need to stop a lot of noise.  
• [08:49] You have a perfect time to reset your overhead, your team, your travel, and offerings.  
• [10:01] Loral is helping people collaborate, create new divisions, and create new partnerships. 
• [11:56] This might be that perfect time for those advanced investors to lock in on a business that needs them and they can step into and use their expertise to grow the business.

• [22:50] Get other peoples’ ideas, thoughts, and opinions.  Gather that information from a financially literate perspective and you make your own decision.  
• [23:04] Many wealthy people have and rely on their teams.  You need a team to walk through this with.  
• [25:16] Chad believes there will be a surge of women entrepreneurs over the next two years. 
• [27:54] If you have a gift and a talent and you are sitting on your rear doing nothing, you are the most selfish human on this planet because you are not suiting up and helping other people.  
• [28:47] Get beyond your selfishness and ask yourself, “What do I need to be doing to help my community come back alive?” Be a creator in your community instead of a taker. 
• [31:36] Loral’s is a Harry Potter, Florida-Georgia Line, and Zach Brown fan.

The world will witness the greatest transfer of wealth possibly EVER SEEN during the next 10-12 months, and you need to be ready to take advantage. It doesn’t matter where you are in the world there are so many ways you can enter into the market.  

In this follow-up episode, I am answering all your questions about buying businesses and moving forward in the next few months.  I talk about the benefits of buying now.  I also talk about what to access before buying and thinking creatively when restarting to expand and grow. I talk about many different types of businesses including hair salons, daycares, auto detailers, art galleries, and more.   

Right now you need some creativity in the current market to restart, expand, and grow.  I share many different types of ideas for restarting your current business or a new business.  Creativity is the key! 

Show Notes:

• [00:54] It would be beneficial to buy in now with hair salons because you would be buying in at a low rate and you could be a part of bringing it back up.  
• [03:05] Loral shares about a VIP experience that they created to bring in cash flow for a hair salon.  
• [04:31] Managing and holding on to the credit card and contracting the cash on a twelve-month contract is a great way to manage and contract cash flow. This can be done with many types of business including daycares and auto detailers.  
• [05:24] Hemp farms can be a great investment if you have a buyer.  
• [07:10]  If you get motivated you can really get creative about creating a revenue stream.  
• [07:54] You do need to be geo targeted or at least understand the pattern of the traffic. Is it seasonal? 
• [09:34] She likes to see a variety of kinds of income which can recession-proof you.  
• [10:59] My goal is to get your mind churning and give you an initial script to go and look around your community and start walking in or getting online and talking to the owner.  
• [11:44] One creative way to get people involved in your business is to take them on a virtual tour or have an online event especially if you are an art gallery or similar business.    
• [13:38] The biggest missing piece is lower-end ticket items that are missing to just get people interested.  
• [13:58] You do want to look at your competition.  Loral suggests and walks clients through using SWAT charts.    
• [14:39] If you come in and take over a business do you want to clean house or maintain the same employees?
• [15:32] Will there be an ownership change or can you just add a new division and just take over that? You would need an LLC with the new division.  
• [18:22] If you are in the Millionaire Training group that is where you are going to get your most prized content, bonuses, and offers.  
• [19:29] Get your head up and think, talk, and make money the way the wealthy do.  
• [19:35] Your homework is to go look around your community and see what is available to buy and bring any questions back to the Millionaire Training group.  
• [20:07] Is there a target industry that may hold a sweet spot for consumers?

We want to keep you focused on what is important and not go back to old bad behaviors of ignoring money.  Today we are going to talk a lot about what you do when you make money.  Most people need money rules and to decide where you want to put your money.  

This episode is called “The Most Indiscriminate Crash.”  The reason it is indiscriminate is that it is not age-sensitive. The world will witness the greatest transfer of wealth possibly EVER SEEN during the next 10-12 months, and you need to be ready to take advantage. It doesn’t matter where you are in the world there are so many ways you can enter into the market.  

I talk about how to decide what type of business you want to buy, questions you need to ask to evaluate a business, and how to approach the current owner. Real estate has for sale signs and the MLS, but that is not true with businesses.  You have to approach the current owner and I talk about how to do this and exactly what to say.  

Show Notes:

• [00:50] What have you been doing that is new around your money plans?
• [02:05] Making money is not a one-time event.  It needs to become a daily behavior. 
• [03:33] March 17th was the largest crash since 1929 that we have ever seen in the stock market.  
• [04:15] The decisions now are how much more money can you make and where do you want to put it.  
• [05:23] May is going to be one of the riskiest months to make these money decisions.  
• [07:24] We are going to talk about the break-even points of a business opening.  
• [09:05] Who do you want to be in all this? Who do you want to be on the other side of this?
• [11:08] Everything is on sale and it is going to get more and more on sale.    
• [11:32] Loral shares a list of questions that are critical to ask if you are deciding whether to buy a company or not. 
• [13:38] Think about the types of businesses that are going to have the cash flow you want.  
• [15:45] Her #1 negotiating conversation is “Yes is going to be the answer so now let’s talk about how it’s going to work.”  
• [17:02] Without the real estate, I wouldn’t become a tenant.  I want to be a tenant in my own place.  
• [17:32] Not knowing how to do it is never the consideration.  You will hire people to do it that actually know what they are doing and you will find the money if the deal is right. 
• [19:34] Does the current owner want to sell the business?
• [21:12] You want to be thinking about how does the money flow. 
• [22:06] Real estate has for sale signs and the MLS, but that is not true with businesses.  
• [24:03] The lawyers you need to be using are business lawyers that have actually owned and operated entrepreneurial businesses. 
• [24:29] Loral shares more evaluation questions when looking to buy a business.  
• [27:12] It is really important to look at the business database. 
• [28:19] You can get a lot of new runway with an endorsed database.
• [30:56] A big question is how many customers does the business serve on a regular basis and what has the decline been because of COVID.

There will be an upcoming shift in the real estate market you can take advantage of. In this episode, we talk about real estate, self-directed IRAs, and the current market. I have my wonderful friend Ron Legrand with me for this episode. Ron is a dear friend, mentor, and has taught me a ton about this business. Not only is he the best I know in real estate, but he has a consistent and constant following. Even though he is humble and doesn’t brag about it he has made more millionaires and has helped countless families thrive in real estate. 

We talk about real estate and how you can sell or buy using terms to create residual monthly income. Even though we are living in uncertain times people still need a place to live. We also talk about self-direct and Roth IRA’s and how they can benefit you financially. You don’t want to miss it! 

Show Notes:

• [02:35] Ron has bought and sold over 3,000 houses. 
• [03:01] Ron’s specialty is buying and selling in terms. In other words, we get the seller to sell it with terms so we can offer it to our buyers with terms and those are the folks that can not qualify at a bank. 
• [04:20] There are three kinds of terms. You lease it with an option to buy from the seller, or the seller deeds it to you and you start making their payments or buy it with owner financing.  
• [05:02] Most of the ones Ron buys are on a wrap-around mortgage because the seller has a debt. He buys it with owner financing. 
• [05:46] Some people will sell you a house with nothing down if you use the right script.  
• [06:28] Ron is able to help buyers with a lower deposit and less than perfect credit.
• [07:07] He is able to create a residual monthly income that keeps on coming in for years. 
• [07:40] Ron gets all these advantages for owning real estate. He wants growth, tax reduction, and wealth all in one deal. 
• [08:39] He uses free apps and websites to help him find the homes he wants to buy including Facebook Marketplace and Facebook Ads. He also uses door hangers and flyers to get the word out about properties he is selling. 
• [10:20] How would you use self-directed IRAs? 
• [10:36] Self-directed IRAs can buy real estate just like we do. They are better suited for the cash, rehab, or wholesale deals that do not come with debt. 
• [11:53] A Roth is the only IRA one needs because it is tax-free. Doing business tax-free is always better. 
• [14:41] There are self-directed IRA companies that only focus on these specific IRA’s. 
• [15:45] You can’t deal with anyone in your linear descent including your spouse’s group or you are self-dealing. Self-dealing can wipe out your IRA and cause penalties. 
• [16:12] In these current times, Ron has found that business is better than it was. Buyers have a different mindset, they are way easier to deal with and they are abundant with money to put up. 
• [17:38] Why are current times so different than 2008, 2009, and 2010?
• [18:28] Many of Ron’s colleagues are finding the real estate market easier right now. 
• [18:50] Ron has a free 3-day summit coming up on May 5th-7th.
• [20:08] During the summit they actually do deals while you watch. 
• [20:56] Loral is speaking at the summit about how to buy businesses. 
• [21:08] Ron’s free summit is a 3-day event. The event runs from 11 AM EST - 6:30 PM EST on days 1 and 2. The event wraps up at 5:00 PM EST on day 3. 
• [22:34] Ron has been doing live events for a long time and will continue doing them once we get passed all this.

Dr. Dung Trinh is here again to talk about something that is on everybody's mind, the coronavirus or COVID-19 outbreak. Some of you may remember Dr. Trinh from previous shows where he talked about clinical studies on cannabis and his medical missionary non-profit and his work around the world and in Vietnam. Dr. Trinh is a physician in Orange County. He immigrated to the US as a child and has never stopped learning or giving back. 

I’m happy to have him here today to answer questions about coronavirus or COVID -19 in this highly fluid situation. He shares what it actually is and what the main symptoms usually are. We also talk about theories about the spread, and he shares statistics from previous flu outbreaks which might be useful in trying to gauge the scale of this pandemic. We also talk about the stock market a bit. Everything is changing rapidly and all of the information we share is for educational purposes.

Show Notes:

• [01:33] Dr. Trinh is a physician in Orange County. He also has a nonprofit called TongueOut. He takes doctors, students, and volunteers around the world to do medical missionary type work. 
• [01:52] Last year, they were in Vietnam twice and Haiti, Peru, and Oaxaca Mexico.
• [02:11] He was supposed to be in Vietnam this month, but the coronavirus threw a wrench in his plans. 
• [03:16] SARs and MERs were both a coronavirus. So is the common cold. COVID-19 usually lives in wild animals like bats and rats. It must have mutated to live in human hosts. 
• [05:03] There is an 85% correlation between coronavirus DNA in humans and bats. The mutations are probably in that 15% difference that allows it to infect humans.
• [05:34] The theory is that it came from a wild animal market in Wuhan. That's why people believe that it came from that market and mutated from bats.
• [06:24] There is also a biological weapon theory from a research facility in Wuhan. These are all just theories, but there is a level 4 lab in Wuhan.
• [07:34] Symptoms are similar to the flu. They include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. The incubation period is from 2 days to 14 days.
• [08:42] You don't know you have coronavirus until you start having symptoms. This is why it's so hard to contain.
• [09:22] This is really hard to contain because of the 14-day incubation period.
• [09:53] Viral pneumonia can be caused by the coronavirus.
• [10:12] The flu virus has infected at least 30 something million Americans this year. Over a hundred thousand of those needed hospitalization. From that group there was up to 15 to 18 thousand deaths. People don't realize that the regular flu has killed that many people already.
• [12:11] There isn't a lot of sore throat with the coronavirus, but it's not black and white.
• [12:57] The death rate for the flu is one in 1,000. The death rate for coronavirus is much higher.
• [14:03] Older patients and patients with chronic health conditions are at the most risk.
• [15:17] It's spread by droplets from infected people and their hands. 
• [16:52] The scary part is that it's more contagious and spreading at a faster rate than the flu.
• [17:30] 80% affected only have a mild case and can be treated at home.
• [18:04] The big deal is that 20% will need hospitalization and 5% will need to be in ICU. Hospital bed shortages are an issue. 
• [20:41] The stock market is driven by fear. Dr. Trinh isn't optimistic for the short term if this breaks out in major cities.
