Zac Juergensen shares his fascinating story through the marine corps, mounds of debt, and finally into a state of being “unplugged” in today’s episode of The Prosperity Perspective Podcast. Zac’s journey has brought him a desire to share his knowledge, and his genuine personality leads him to give expert, raw advice.  “I like to feel people’s questions,” Zac replies to host Liam Leonard about his motivation for the podcast. 

Join them for their conversation today and learn how this guest went from rough beginnings to amassing a net worth of over $1 million, and learn why you don’t have to wait to enjoy life until your retirement--but you don’t have to be poor because of it, either. 

3 Key Takeaways

• Why you don’t have to be a perpetual worker bee but also not a homeless person.
• The sweet spot that allows most people to push past their financial filters securely.
• How you may need to do your research into letting go of the past.

About Zachary Juergensen

DIY Wealth is on every podcasting platform, but in a nutshell I couple deeper philosophical thought and humor with gaining reasonable financial freedom in order to better identify for individuals what a life truly well lived is within the constructs of a capitalistic structure.

I've essentially went from being in debt in my early 20's with poor money management and financial behavior patterns to amassing a net worth of $1MM by 31. I have enough passive income to essentially "retire", or as I prefer to label it unplugging. Everything has been self education regarding building wealth and now I'm helping people by answering their questions. My mouth has zero filter and I'll joke about anything along the way to paint a humorous picture. Using your words and storytelling is a craft I love. I did go to school for business management at W.P. Carey. I hold positions in the markets, cryptos and hold a real estate portfolio among other things. I officially unplugged as of SEPT 8th 2021. I hope to grow, share my message, and truly change lives as my future journeys unfold all while dishing out healthy heaps of laughter. I am absolutely committed to making people laugh, sharing my knowledge base, answering questions, and merging it with a better line of thinking in order for individuals to plug into a more enhanced way of living.

We meet another amazing post-corporate, self-operated businessman who could not resist the call of entrepreneurism on today’s episode of The Prosperity Perspective Podcast. Host Liam Leonard talks allocation preparation and the core elements of what EVERY entrepreneur should know before they decide to launch, along with our guest Mike Lander, who has had his fair share of trials and errors. But like so many other intelligent businesspeople, Mike wanted to lead a life where he wasn’t married to the office/climbing the ladder, and he wanted to use his personal skills to help others in a successful niche. 

Tune in today to get scoops of wisdom that Mike freely gives to any entrepreneur looking to try something new, whether that’s taking the business to the next level or starting from scratch. The call of entrepreneurship will become clearer to you in this episode as Mike explains that “If I look back...would l have stayed? I don’t think I would. But If I had seen the entrepreneurial journey and what it takes, I’d have been tempted.” 

3 Key Takeaways

• The two ways of being an entrepreneur.
• Why you MUST have 12 months of survival savings.
• The necessity of doing 5 different things every year with your company to ensure financial security against risks.

This guest on the Prosperity Perspective Podcast is incredible; Beate Chelette is a growth architect, german immigrant, single mom, and female leadership advocate. But what makes her story so unique is her ability to press through the very essence of rock bottom, transitioning from being $135,000 in debt to cracking the code and getting back on top of her business life, owning and selling several booming companies in different industries, one of which was sold to Bill Gates for $1 million.

But Beate wants to talk to host Liam Leonard about the “messy middle”--that is, the story in between starting a business and the success story that most entrepreneurs share at the end. You may be surprised to find the failures that Beate met along the way, motivating her to teach industry leaders to adapt to changing times and build a framework that works for the next generation of male and female employees. 

3 Key Takeaways 

• Why you need to unlearn what your middle class family members have imbued in your understanding of business to move up.
• How Beate went from absolute bankruptcy to break even in 3 months.
• Why you need to take action to go to the next level BEFORE you start making the extra money that comes with that.

About Beate Chelette

Beate Chelette is the Growth Architect and founder of The Women’s Code and designs processes, best practices and systems for leaders who want to grow, build and scale their business, and achieve measurable results and profits they can count on.

Beate is “One of 100 Top Global Thought Leaders in 2021” by PeopleHum and “One of 50 Must-Follow Women Entrepreneurs by HuffPost. She is the author of the #1 International Award Winning Amazon Bestseller “Happy Woman Happy World – How to Go from Overwhelmed to Awesome”–a book that corporate trainer and best-selling author Brian Tracy calls “a handbook for every woman who wants health, success and a fulfilling career.”

A first-generation immigrant who found herself $135,000 in debt as a single parent, Beate bootstrapped her passion for photography into a highly-successful global business and eventually sold it to Bill Gates in a multimillion-dollar deal.
