Respect The Grind with Stefan Aarnio

Money is an illusion, money does not exist. We insist on giving it enough meaning and value for it to gain power over us. The only thing holding anyone back from reaching his or her dreams is mindset.

In this chapter of Money, People, Deal, you'll be challenged to start a "no cash diet". Believe Stefan Aarnio when he says this decision is difficult, not only due to our money driven mentality, but also for all the painful situations it could potentially unleash. Understanding that money is an enslavement tool is a valuable lesson, and the first brave step Stefan encourages you to take to get closer to your own freedom.

"Understand that money is a drug; the more you have—the more you want. If you have none, money cannot control you. It's very liberating."

Remember those horrid team group assignments back in school? Were you one of those kids who bailed and waited for others to do all the work, or were you the poor kid doing everything on your own? In his early twenties, Stefan was left with worse than a school project: a dream house that got trashed along with its mortgage.

Building your network is very important in business, but you should never rush and partner with strangers. Even the sweetest deals and opportunities can end up in shitty situations with the wrong group. In this confession we'll learn about the mistakes Stefan had to fix on his own after his partners bailed out from what had once been a successful investment.

"I felt angry; I felt stupid. I was in over my head. I called my partners for help, but no one seemed to care enough or agree on a single point of action."

What does it take to become a self-made millionaire?

What are the steps you have to take today to achieve this dream?

Is it possible for you?

Many have wondered, few have succeeded...

Self Made: Confessions of a Twenty Something Self Made Millionaire follows the real life story of Stefan Aarnio (award winning real estate investor and entrepreneur) through the struggle of starting out with zero cash, zero credit and zero experience in his pursuit of financial freedom.

If the word "patriarchy" seems to have a negative connotation, you have witnessed (and maybe even been a part of) society's efforts to destroy men. Being a strong man in today's world means dealing with hate, anger and attacks from several groups, especially women. In a society where being politically correct is (apparently) more important than being an actual breadwinner, we can't help but wonder at which point in history we screwed everything up and ended up like this.

Here's a hard to swallow pill: tolerance, acceptance, the exaggerated celebration of diversity and the empowerment of women are doing a lot more harm than good. Increasing divorce rates, kids dropping out of school, suicidal children, adults with behavioral disorders, teenage pregnancies, prostitution and daddy issues... all the things that can go wrong in a household do end up wrong with the absence of a strong, father figure. The weak men and the weak ideas that are now prevalent in our societies come from the elimination of fathers, masculinity and discipline from the basic unit of society: the family.

What makes the rich man different from the poor man? The first's will to work for free. The most brilliant people in the world have started from the bottom without expecting a single cent in return for their work, and Stefan Arnio experienced this hard but fruitful path himself.

In this chapter of Money, People, Deal, you will learn about the power and value of working for free. Young people today are reluctant to see opportunity in this controversial path and yet choose to stay chained to draining and menial jobs instead. Stop chasing dollars, man up and follow your heart.

"If I lost everything tomorrow, had no skills, no money, no contacts, and no experience, I would rediscover what I am excited about and offer to work for free in the industry."

There are problems with the common saying 'fat is where you produce testosterone.'

You need a balance of good carbohydrates and vegetables as well. It's not just about getting rid of your belly, it's about becoming a stronger man.

Actions equal dollars and work needs to be done. Follow Stefan's first call, appointment and close with a long forgotten lead that was pointless and dead to the company. Thanks to Aarnio's excitement and fresh mindset, things were about to change.

Opposite minded mentors will push you to think outside of the box and the set system. People think raising money is a long and complicated process, but in reality, the money wants us more than we want it. Listen to today's episode to learn Stefan's important lessons to the art and science of sales.

"In sales, you need to psychologically reward yourself every time you make a call, not when you close. When you close, you are just picking up the money that you earned while dialing. Actions equal dollars, dollars don't equal actions."

Negativity is all around us. To notice this, all you have to do is bring up a decent idea to someone. Watch them find 10 reasons for you not to execute instead of 10 reasons why you should. Ignore these people COMPLETELY.

In this podcast with Neil Auricchio I discuss how and why you need to get into the mindset of ignoring the negativity.

Would you rather have to choose between two different ice-cream flavors, or from 63 different flavor options? Remember the world where things were just simple? In different times, men and women were so busy that they had no time to think about anything but survival-related stuff. Now, in a too friendly and explicitly not hostile environment, with enough time and creativity to give away, 63 genders have suddenly popped up out of nowhere. All of them meaningless and even unnameable to the average person.

We live in a strange world today, where every group and every minority is given a megaphone, a channel, an outlet to scream at the top of their lungs for special treatment. But the truth is, intolerant societies are strong societies. Our tolerance is our weakness. As men, it is our duty to actively choose to be men, play our roles in society and stick to them. Stop complicating things, to be a man is a simple idea.

In this podcast, we discuss why the competition is much harder on social media.

Gimmicks and cheap tricks will hurt your business and your brand. Prepare to be in this for the long haul. Focus on quality. Social media pushes us to make content all the time. Learning how to balance output with excellence is essential.

Do you know how to make content while running your business?

Throughout history, many people have searched far and wide for the formula for riches. Some people would call it the philosopher's stone or the fountain of youth. However, Napoleon Hill's formula is the one that hasn't made any mistakes. His formula for great riches is both a philosopher's stone and a fountain of youth.

Discover in this chapter of Money People Deal how wealth and riches are created inside of us in intangible realms, and how the results are manifested through physical success. From affectionate loving parents to a supportive partner, you must suggest taking a moment to compile an inventory of your life and your support system.

"Having a strong support system in the intangible realms through loving parents, a supportive spouse, and strong religious faith is the foundation of the structure that is required to reach the stars and become a top achiever."
