From selling minigolf courses’ lost balls back to them as a child to having flipped thousands of apartments to this day, Andrew Cushman has always had a knack for entrepreneurship. By a happy accident, he’s become one of the biggest real estate investors around.

Achieving this wasn’t a walk in the park, however. Andrew’s road to success was a humbling one; it took a lot of grit, guts, and discipline before he could get to glory. We’re often told to learn from our mistakes, but Andrew takes it a step further — he’s made sure to never make them again.

Listen to the full episode as Andrew shares the importance of investing in yourself, accepting help from others, and consistently learning.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

         Part 1

Notable quotes from the Episode:

“Go find somebody that is already very successful at what you want to do, and learn from them.”

“Be disciplined about the deals that you do or the business that you create.”

“In my opinion, [the] correct path in the middle, when you're looking at a deal or business or becoming an entrepreneur, is to sit down and lay out what are all of the risks.”

“You will much more regret the deal that you did that you shouldn't have than you would regret the deal that you didn't do that you should have.”

“There was a lot of failures there, but the flip side of that is [that] we've never had anything happen like that again since, because of what we learned on that deal.”

“I think the most important part is taking care of home life first.”

Hardships and failures are strangers to no one. We’ve all been knocked down at some point in our lives. As for Lance Essihos, he’s well-acquainted with adversity. He’s battled with drug addiction and alcoholism, lost his brother to suicide, and lost his father to cancer.

When life hits you that hard, the easy way out is to give up, but that’s not the path that Lance chose. He instead swore to himself that he would get his life together and make a positive impact on others. Today, he has surpassed his mission of making the world a better place and continues to empower other people through his podcast, University of Adversity. With his platform, he encourages people to better themselves and achieve long-lasting fulfillment.

Listen to the full episode as Lance shares his tips on shifting your mindset, breaking unhealthy social media habits, rising above adversity, and pursuing your passion.

“My entire life has been around getting that [scarcity mentality] out of my vocabulary because it’s like a sickness; it’s like an illness that gets in our DNA, and it holds us back from so much.”

“It’s not always these big, crazy events that are going to shift [your mindset] for you, but it’s consistently paying attention to how your thoughts and your feelings are.”

“If you’re trying to recreate somebody else, then you’re robbing [your audience] of you.”

“If you put it in [the time] and you’re committed to it and you stay true to your heart and you really get super clear on that, consistency always wins.”

“If you want to do something, just do it. Who cares how many people are doing it? You’re different. You have medicine for somebody. Somebody needs what you have.”

“Failure’s essential. It’s essential to grow. You learn every time. It’s just feedback.”

What does it take to become a successful entrepreneur? Sure, you could build as many businesses across different industries. But if you want all those to thrive, there are two things you have to keep in mind –  put your 100% on your first business, first; use strategic partners, second.

In this episode, Erik Cabral chats with startup expert and serial entrepreneur Allan Draper, who’s on his way to launching his 26th business towards the end of this month. Allan has created successful companies, including a pest control business (his first one), a proprietary software, a digital marketing agency, and the list continues.

A lawyer turned bug guy turned serial entrepreneur, Allan is out to prove that he is good at building business, no matter the industry. And he definitely did that!

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

The Power of Partnership

Allan has created 26 companies, but he didn’t do it all alone. He has 15 business partners that he considers as really the heroes of the company, with him as the guide. One of the things that made his partnerships work is that Allan allows his business partners to go deep while he goes wide. He also allows them to make mistakes, which are worth so much more than their monetary value.

Focusing on Your First Business

A very important concept that Allan emphasized in today’s conversation is the concept of putting 100% focus on your first business before moving on to the next. Those other ideas do not exist until you're a multi-millionaire from that first business.

Your first business needs its owner and that may take years and years. But once you’ve mastered your processes and systems, it now becomes easier for you to replicate those in your other businesses regardless of the industry.

Another key is to recognize that there are people much smarter, more talented, and more competent than you. At some point, you will have to hire those people, and just because you’re the owner doesn’t mean you’re the best person to run the company.

If you’re now at a stage where it’s no longer about the money, but about creating a legacy and making an impact on this earth – then starting a nonprofit is definitely the best way to do it. However, along with the joys of building a nonprofit come the pains of forming it as well. Creating a nonprofit is a daunting process, but it doesn’t need to be. All this paperwork and bureaucratic stuff should not stop you from making this world a better place.

In this episode, Erik Cabral and nonprofit consultant Christian LeFer talk about how you can superposition your life, legacy, and your future, and how Instant Nonprofit, the nonprofit success in a box service can take care of the process so you can solely focus on your mission.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

Nonprofit as a Quantum Entity

A nonprofit organization is a quantum entity where you can superposition your life, your legacy, and your future by starting a nonprofit alongside your current for-profit venture. As a result, you’re able to launch yourself into an entirely new realm and meet entirely new people that you never would have through business or networking.

The Benefits of a Nonprofit

Getting into a nonprofit is an awesome way to create a whole new meaning to the life you're waking up to every day, the legacy you're going to look back on, and the future that you look forward to every day. It’s all about having that meaning in your life in multiple dimensions.

Instant Profit’s 3 Easy Step Process

Step 1 - Data collection - Instant Profit gets all the data they need from you to kick things off.

Step 2 - Customer portal - They're going to pave the way for you on your board meetings and all of the other requirements by giving you preformatted assets and documents, training on how to run a board meeting in 30 minutes instead of the average three hours, and how to raise seed money and just structure this stuff.

Step - IRS filing - As soon as the state gets those articles back to them, they then move you to step three and file with the IRS. Here, they lose the chain of custody because they're going to send that approval letter to you. But at that point, they've already handed you everything you need to be successful with your nonprofit.

Atomic Habits by James Clear

We are now living in this crisis of chronic diseases – talk about obesity, anxiety, and depression. People have now become addicted to this quick-fix mentality. They turn to processed, unhealthy, and obesity-inducing fast foods, and healing from pain has become synonymous with a bottle of Tylenol. In this episode, Erik and Dr. Paula Ruffin talks about the power of choosing a healthier lifestyle that is only possible through intention and action.

Dr. Paula Ruffin is not just a solopreneur, but also an amazing solo mompreneur. As a single mother, she embraced motherhood just like her mother who laid the groundwork for her to live a healthy life. At an early age, the importance of nutrition and exercise has been ingrained in her. She went on to study exercise physiology, worked in the nutrition and obesity clinic, helping people with weight loss and movement, before eventually becoming a personal trainer. Currently, Dr. Paula Ruffin is a chiropractor, certified in first-line therapy, making sure that people are upping their game, both physically and mentally.

Reality check… are you living your best life?

Our guest today shares some golden insights from his book, Let’s Go Win!, which outlines the keys to unlocking your best life.

Building businesses and leading sales teams for over 16 years now, JM Ryerson is the chief leadership officer and managing vice president of Appreciation Financial. He's also the co-founder and CEO of Let’s Go Win, a company dedicated to helping people around the world live their best lives.

Today, JM walks us through his entrepreneurial journey and talks about the power of embracing vulnerability, taking accountability, and the single, most important lesson he learned from his dad!

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[05:48] 12 Keys to Living Your Best Life

[04:50] Embracing Vulnerability

Being vulnerable means being who you are. And when you stop trying to be someone you’re not, it gives your business some space to grow.

[06:09] Transcend

To transcend means to overcome your self-limiting beliefs. These are inherited beliefs often passed on to us from our parents but you have to transcend past those to fulfill who you truly are.

[08:32] Accountability

JM learned from his dad these powerful nine words and 27 letters: “Do what you say you are going to do.” It doesn't mean you're not going to screw up along the way. It doesn't mean it's going to be perfect. But if you're going to commit something, then just do it.

[11:32] Culture & Simplicity

If you have a company and you're creating your own core values, or you already have your own core values, then you have to revisit those and distill your values down to three things.

Keep it simple. Stop trying to make some mission statement that sounds so awesome on a wall, but nobody can regurgitate it. You want people to really embrace your core values, and if somebody acts outside of those core values, then it's no longer a personal conversation.
