The Business Method: Interviewing Billionaires, Billion Dollar Founders & the World’s Most Successful People 🎧🔥

“There were people who were working at Foot Locker and the next day they were Loan Officers.” Manny Romero

Today podcast listeners, we have the founder of Fix and Flip Hub Manny Romero on the show! Manny has been in the Real Estate game since 2004 and experienced an incredible amount of success from 2004-2007. He and I first met when we were both selling real estate investing education in Phoenix, AZ back in 2007. He was a mentor of mine and became a good friend during this time. If you remember, Phoenix was one of the cities that had a massive recession in the 2008/2009 housing crisis/global recession. Both him and I lived through this and it gave us both a massive blow to our businesses. I was knocked completely off my feet and went broke….Manny was a bit more experienced and managed pretty well, but also suffered a huge blow to his business, income, and lifestyle. At this time Manny partnered up with his current partner Marty Boardman and started to build a new fix and flip business which is now called Fix and Flip Hub. Now they have a thriving successful real estate business that operates in both Arizona and Wisconsin. Manny personally has raised over $2 million dollars in private capital to fund his real estate ventures.

Manny and Marty have a passion for mentoring and teaching others about investing in real estate. Fix and Flip Hub feature videos from the homes they repair on their social media channels to teach and promote. They also offer seminars and an online training to teach others how to fix and flip.

(Before the 2008 Global Recession)…”you could buy a home and literally make the most minor improvements, and then sit on it 2-3 months and profit $20,000, $30,000, $40,000 per deal.” Manny Romero

“In order to create wealth, you have to go through this process. That process is very difficult. You have to go through the trials and tribulations.” Manny Romero

“When you're small and lean (in business), do things that can have a BIG impact” Greg Mercer

Today podcast listeners we have the founder of Jungle Scout with us Greg Mercer. A few years ago Greg was plugging away working 35 hours a week on his own FBA store while working 5 hours a week at his engineering job. He realized how capital intensive Amazon FBA was and thought there had to be a better model he could create. While doing this Greg identified his pain point, realizing it was very hard to figure out the demand for products on Amazon. Thus became Jungle Scout. Jungle Scout is currently used by over 52,000 Amazon sellers, it is a total product research solutions that help you come up with product ideas by filtering through Amazon's catalog and finding the items that meet your criteria. Basically, it provides all the information an Amazon seller needs to pick the perfect products. Research made easy.

Today we will get into how Greg built a business of this size as rapidly as he has. Jungle Scout is now just over two years old. We will talk about what he had to do to find a successful niche like this and how he scaled this rapid growth.

“Create a business that makes other people a lot of money.” Paul Levine

13:30 The Ethical Bribe

15:10 Why did Jungle Scout succeed where 99% of Software companies fail?

17:55 Law of Reciprocity

22:43 Questions to ask yourself about pricing

“Value add, value add, value add, sell!” Dave Aarons

An Epiphany On Pricing

4 questions to ask customers about pricing: (from Price Intelligently.com)

2. At what price would you find is a great deal?

3. At what price would you find this expensive, but worth considering?

4. At what price would this be definitely too much?

“I can help others with what I selfishly love the most. You put that all together and it is a match made in heaven and I love it!” Scott Englund

Today listeners, we have Scott England on the show. Scott is a serial non-profit entrepreneur. Scott’s main project these days is MotoMission. But this man’s story is way too interesting to just talk about one of his businesses. After working to build markets for a large financial company and the global crisis of 2009, Scott decided to leave it all behind and take himself and his family to Peru to focus on his passion of serving others. In 2009 Scott, his wife and his two young daughters moved to Peru to do charity work. While he was there, the entrepreneur in him, couldn’t stop thinking of ways to build businesses that gave 100% of their money to charity. Fast forward to today, Scott has built multiple businesses in Peru that give all of their money to different charities that Scott and his family work with personally. Today, we are going to chat about what it took for Scott to leave his home, his successful career, and family behind to fulfill a bigger dream of being a serial non-profit entrepreneur in a country he had never been to before. This is Scott’s story….

“I find people that want what I love to do, and we do it all together” Scott England

“A V.A. (virtual assistant) is not the first hire you should make, the first hire is a manager or a potential manager.” Neil Napier

On today’s episode, we are welcoming my good friend Neil Napier to the show. Neil hails from Finland and as been running KVSocial for over 3 years. KVSocial is a 7-figure business offers a full suite of social media marketing services for your business. On top of running KVSocial Neil is an expert in copywriting, team building, webinars, paid traffic, and outscoring. But, that is not our focus today. Today, we are going to chat about Neil’s most recent business and the things he learned from building his team. Neil’s newest business is JobRack.EU. JobRack finds job seekers that specialize in many online tasks from Eastern Europe

For business owners, especially digital entrepreneurs, there has been a rush of hiring in Eastern Europe for many different jobs and as an entrepreneur, Neil saw opportunity and decided to capitalize on it. We will go more into depth about this recent phenomenon and the importance of team building.

“We asked the employees how they think their performance should be judged on.” Neil Napier

~Three Critical Functions All Businesses Should Have for Team Building

1.KPI (Key Performance Indicators)

-Indicators that tell you if your business is doing well or not

Ex. Revenue, Advertising, Employee Performance, etc

2. Time Tracking

-See what employees are doing

-See where they are slow and need help

-Makes productivity quantifiable

3. Processes

-Ask the employees to create the process and SOP’s

“In the last four years we’ve done over a million dollars in revenue each year, my parents still tell me to go back to school and finish my Ph.D.” Neil Napier
