One of my personal definitions of money is - the measurement of value created. When I think of money this way it inspires me to create my own worth instead of looking for someone to give me anything. Using this perspective I'm more inspired to get into action and make things happen. It gives me energy knowing that I'm creating as a contributor to the "machine". On the other hand when I'm looking for people to give me anything it drains my energy, it doesn't empower me. When it come come to creating value my guest today Dan Lok is a master. I read his book F U Money a couple of years ago and it shifted my thinking in terms of what it means to make money in the New Economy.

I attended a marketing event called Monetization Mastery almost a year and a half ago down in Miami... I always tell people if you want to change your belief system around money and what's really possible then go to an internet marketing event. When you're surrounded by people who are on the internet making thousands of dollars (and some even tens of thousands) per day it has a way of shifting the way you think about business. I've also discovered one of the truths about building a businesses online... if you want to make some money then you do it alone. But if you want to build wealth then you build teams. One of the people that spoke at Monetization Mastery was my guest today, Ben Williams. Ben provided a blueprint on how to outsource tasks and scale pretty much any online business. This process is the X factor between those who make a living and those who are living the life. In this episode Ben talks about the steps that he took to leave Corporate America while building his business part-time and how he approaches creating extremely profitable businesses online. In this conversation you'll learn... The exact steps that he took to transition out of his $30K/year job The thought process that he uses before building a business online Why it's critical to systemize tasks in business How he approaches which outsourcers to use How he stays focused on the execution of 1 idea at a time The simplest way to build a profitable online businesses His biggest challenge as an online entrepreneur The one thing that he does on a daily basis to insure his success Live Big, Dream Big Dreamchasershow.com

A few weeks back I attended a networking event here in Atlanta while there I had the pleasure of meeting my guest on today's episode, Austin Distel. At the age of 24 Austin is a digital entrepreneur who has already created and sold an offline business and launched his own digital agency. As if that's not enough he's also one of the founders of a rapidly growing community of entrepreneurs called The Entrepreneur Alliance. The Entrepreneur Alliance is an online training hub and community for digital entrepreneurs. Outside of the phenomenal training and transparency of the community one of the distinctions that separates "EA" from other online communities is that they also host live offline events and meet-ups all over the world. In this conversation Austin talks about his risky decision to drop his major of Dentistry while in college to pursue a degree in marketing. He also talks about how he created his digital agency from nothing and what lead to him helping to create The Entrepreneurial Alliance. One of the things that Austin and I share in common is that we we're both heavily influenced by Tim Ferris's book The 4-Hour Work Week, you'll be able to hear Tim Ferris's influence in the way that Austin approaches creating an online business.

One of the things that I love about entrepreneurship is it's the closest thing that you can get to being a professional athlete. You'll get direct feedback on whether you can really play or if you stink... but no matter what the market says about you, there's always room to improve and get better. Here's the cold truth... The job market is shrinking, with technology replacing human labor and capital funding becoming more and more scarce since the 2008 meltdown business owners and CEO's are more focused on costs and the bottom line more than ever. The highest cost savings can usually be found in the elimination of a salary. I say all of this to say, If you're not currently running your own business then it's something that you should seriously consider looking into if you want to keep up with your current standard of living. My guest today has been coaching and mentoring in the arena of business for over 10 years. Meet Kerwin Rae. Kerwin is an entrepreneur, investor, business coach/trainer who has spoken all over the world. Over 100,000 people have attended his workshops and seminars. He has worked with the likes of Jordan Belfort, Harry Dent and Oren Klaff just to name a few and is considered to be one of Australia's leading authorities on business strategy.

Have you ever met someone who said that they couldn't use a little more confidence? Nah, me either. Confidence is one of those qualities that most people would like to have a little more of. On today's episode I'll be talking about the secrets to developing bullet proof confidence with Social Confidence coach and author Myke Macapinlac. Myke is the creator of socialconfidencemastery.com. I think this is something this is a subject that everybody should study at some point, especially if you wanna be an entrepreneur. As an entrepreneur you gotta be skilled in selling ideas. In order to sell ideas you have to have an understanding of different personality types and being able to frame the meaning of your conversations. Favorite quotes from Myke: If you're good with YOU than you'll be good with other people The only advantage that I have over other people is that I've had way more suffering than most, that's why I'm able to keep going when they want to give up In this conversation you'll learn: Why learning can be a bad thingWhy people struggle with confidence and how to fix itProven ways to improve your appearance and become more attractiveHow to get comfortable taking risks in social situationsUnderstanding the foundation of all great relationshipsWhy you can't communicate with everyone the same wayHow to deal with aggressive personalitiesHow to sell to connect with different personality typesWhy the relationship that you have with yourself determines your success sociallyHow self sabotaging beliefs can effect your ability to build wealthThe #1 reason most people are unsuccessful Show Links Myke's Blog - Social Confidence Mastery Myke on Myke's Book - Social Confidence For Shy Guys Myke's Podcast

One of the things that I've always made an effort to be is someone that can lose everything and then turn around and get it all back. I say that because I believe that a truly wealthy man isn't wealthy because of his money or the value of his possessions. He's wealthy because of who he is. My guest today Tony Dada is one of those people. At his lowest point Tony found himself homeless with nothing to his name. It was also during this time that Tony began what he calls "His Great Experiment". With nothing left to lose he also lost his sense of fear. With time he slowly began to see the great opportunity that he had in front of him...the opportunity to focus on developing himself into a better person and creating the life that he' d always dreamed of. Tony created a new definition of success for himself, one that was no longer based on society's typical definition of success. He instead focused his attention on creating a legacy by making a difference and choosing to empower the people of his community. Since that time Tony has used his time and talents to transform many of London's economically disadvantaged. Today Tony is a social entrepreneur and an award-winning author who has developed a proven strategy for living an empowered life based on his 7 foundational principals that he calls "The GPS System", which stands for Growing Personal Success. Tony is one of the most sought after empowerment coaches in the United Kingdom and in 2012 he received an award for Outstanding Contribution from the former Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. If you've been trying to figure out how to identify your natural talents, get in alignment with your purpose and create powerful results without resistance then you definitely want to listen to this conversation.

I recently became interested in the study of Etymology, which in case you're not familiar is the study of the origins of words. When you truly understand the essence of a word, where it comes from and its true meaning you’re able to better apply the concept of the word to your studies and your life. Conversely one idea and concept that is probably more misunderstood than any other is the concept of money. Interestingly enough most of us dedicate most of our lives to making money for ourselves and our families but we never truly understand what it is or how its really created. As a result we wind up becoming slaves to it and it winds up controlling most of our actions and time. The established "system" teaches us that money is something that comes from trading our time to an employer in exchange for it. And very often even when we become entrepreneurs we still employ that same mentality, which keeps us trapped working inside of a business. Instead of building a real asset that creates income independent of our own time and energy. My guest today Dame DC Cordova is on a mission to educate the world about financial literacy and transform the way the world sees money. She does this through her 2 education companies; Excellerated Business Schools for Entrepreneurs and Money and You. More than 100,000 graduates have been trained through her programs worldwide. In fact many of the top wealth and business leaders in the world have attended her programs. Including names such as Jack Canfield, Tony Robbins and T Harv Eker just to name a few. DC was also business partners with Robert Kiyoskai in the early stages or each of their careers, in fact many of the concepts that he teaches today come from what he learned in DC’s program’s. If you are someone who has struggled to master the concept of money, what it really is, how to create it and most importantly how to keep it, then this is a conversation that you'll want to listen to.

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of my all time favorite actors. A while back he played a character named "Cobb" in the movie Inception. If you've never seen it check it out, it was a pretty heavy movie. It's one of those movies that makes you think about what you're thinking about. In the movie Cobb was stealing corporate secrets and planting ideas by entering a "target's" dream. Being able to steal secrets was good but the real power was being able to plant an idea that would cause his "target" to take a set of desired actions. Pretty cool, right? Well believe or not my guest today, Rob Scott has a process that works kinda similar. Rob is Master Coach who specializes in removing self limiting beliefs which he replaces with beliefs of empowerment and confidence. A process which he calls Identity Shifting. In fact he's so good at what he does that he's consulted for companies such as Mind Valley, Evercoach and The Foundation, just to name a few. He's also one of Eben Pagen's personal mindset coaches. In the past you may have tried to create a new life for yourself, lose weight, find a new relationship or maybe even make more money. Your intentions may have been good but for whatever reason you fell off the wagon. The reason that you fell off is because we all have an internal picture of ourselves (i.e.- our self image) that acts kinda like an internal thermostat, regulating everything that we do and believe about ourselves which determines who we're becoming. This self image determines how much money we make, our physical condition and even how well we perform in our relationships. Any changes that we try to make without first changing our core identity is usually short lived because we're using willpower to make the change, which is only a short term source of power. Habits will win in a battle with willpower 80% of the time. Rob has developed a process for tapping directly into the subconscious and creating lasting changes and personal improvement. In this conversation you're going to learn...

I believe the true essence of entrepreneurship is having the ability to recognize an opportunity. An opportunity to take a product or situation of lower value. Enhance it. And then turn around and offer it back to the world at a higher value. This process of alchemy can be applied to anything; real estate, cars, clothing, services and what you'll learn in conversation today is that it can even be done with your story. My guest today is Anthony Trucks, Anthony became an entrepreneur against his will at the age of 3 years old, when he was placed into foster care by his mother. The statistics say that he should've wound up dead or in prison. Instead he went on to go to college, play in the NFL, launch a successful business and is currently an international speaker, author and consultant for entrepreneurs. Through all of the adversity he's experienced he's still been able to create a great deal of success and in the process he's created a proven system for achieving success that he teaches all over the world through his brand, Trust Your Hustle. If you're dealing with any kind of adversity (and even if you're not don't worry because you will...lol) you're going to enjoy this amazing conversation.

Your words and your imagination are the tools that you will use to either create your wildest dreams or the nightmare of your poverty. Once you become conscious of the fact that the questions that you are asking yourself NOW are literally creating your reality you will find that what you want to experience while here on this planet is 100% up to you. My guest for today's episode is Mark Hoverson. Mark has created has created a business empire and his dream lifestyle by simply asking himself questions and taking action on the answers that were given to him. I first came across Mark on youtube maybe 5 or 6 years ago and since that time I've learned a lot from him about entrepreneurship, sales psychology and business leadership. Mark comes from the humble beginnings of once living in a trailer home, qualifying for welfare and being in as much as $40,000 in credit card debt before he made a decision to turn it all around by following his passion. He's since made ten's of millions of dollars through his multiple online businesses over the last 8 years. There were a bunch of different topics we could’ve tackled in this interview but instead of trying to force too much Q&A structure around the conversation I decided to just talk and see what came up and as I guessed would happen he wound up dropping a ton value. Some things you'll learn in this interview; If you’re a fan of psychology and persuasion then get ready to listen to one of the best direct response marketers in the world. Mark charges private clients as much as $100K for a private consult. He also doesn’t do a lot of interviews so shout out to his partner Tyler and the whole team over at Hoverson Leadership for helping us put this one together.

I'm a big-big-big fan of sales. Why? In a world of rapid change and instability its the one skill that once mastered will give you the best chance to maintain some degree of control over your financial future. And when it comes to selling online there are few people that can show you how to do it better than Eric Louviere. Eric has been creating businesses online since 2004 and has generated well over $15 million dollars in revenue over the last 12 years. He's created many 6 figure earners and has also helped a number of his students reach 7 figures. Eric's philosophy is that business is more of a mindset game than it is a tactical know how game. One of the things that I like about Eric is that he really does care about helping people, you'll be able to sense this for yourself when you listen to the interview.

Why would any sane person want to jump into a sled and get pushed down the side of a mountain going over 80 mph? Well my guest today made an Olympic career out of doing just that. When Ruben Gonzalez was growing up he had the goal in mind of becoming an Olympian. When he was 21 he decided to make that goal a reality so he took it upon himself to learn the sport of luge. Even though all of his critics told him that he was a too old to start as a beginner and compete on a professional level he still went for it. 4 years (and a few broken bones) later he was competing in his first Olympic games competition. He then went on to compete in 3 more Olympic games and at the age of 47 he was competing in the Vancouver Olympics against guys half his age. Ruben has made a habit of continuously recreating himself throughout his life. While selling copiers in Downtown Houston Ruben decided to quit his job to become a professional speaker, with absolutely no professional speaking experience. He's now one of the most popular professional speakers in the U.S. In this interview Ruben shared a lot of insight around his thought process and how he's been able to create excellence in different areas of his life. During the interview we talked about; What competing in the Olympics taught him about overcoming fear The key to developing relationships with powerful people His daily success routine The secret power of writing out your goals everyday How he launched his speaking business The mindset shift that he learned from an early mentor that he uses to eliminate stress and increase his odds of success The one secret that he learned from reading tons of biographies Click Here To Check Out My Interview With Ruben Gonzalez

No question about it, having an online business is the best kind of business you can have. Think about it...there's no real estate to maintain. No equipment to buy. No rush hour traffic jams to deal with. And best of all you can keep it open 24/7 and allow it to make money for you while you sleep. My guest today, Justin Gilchrist, has purchased and sold so many online businesses that he's widely considered to be the foremost authority on online business acquisition. Purchasing an online business can be a great way to invest and generate cash flow. However, the downside is that purchasing the wrong online business can also be a great way to lose a ton of cash if you're not skilled in performing thorough due diligence. As with any business you want to get the best possible return while also taking the least amount of risk. Justin is the founder and former owner of the online due diligence authority, Centurica, which assists clients from all over the world with the due dilligence process when buying an online business. He is also the author of the ebook Digitally Wed and the founder of 2 additional online companies, FlipFilter and Work Ware. Justin dropped a ton of good insights in this conversation not just about online business acquisition but also about business and success in general.

Great show today ladies and gentleman, this interview right here is right up there as one of my favorites. I like this one so much because it's not so much about money, success or business. It's really just 2 guys talking about life. My guest today is Chris Winters. Chris is a 7 figure digital nomad. After listening to Chris's story what you'll find is that it's not really so much a story about him as it is a story about all of us. No matter how much success you've experienced or how low you've might been, you'll hear yourself somewhere in this story. Chris Winters lived a largely unsuccessful life and even dealt with alcohol addiction up until he was about 42 years old. It was at that point that he entered a contest that completely transformed his life. If you look at the pictures below you can see what I mean when I say that he completely transformed his life. He says that the picture to the right is the same guy but just a lower version of himself. At his lowest point his wife left him taking along with her their 3 children. He found himself 3 months behind on his mortgage and in over $40,000 of credit card debt. As Chris tells the story, “I was sitting home alone, unemployed and in debt, and trying to figure out what I was going to do with my life and I came across…somehow…a contest. It was a contest from Bill Phillips, who is better known for ESA and the Transformation Contest.” Bill Phillips is a bestselling author and billionaire. One of his bestselling books is Transformation. To make a long story short, Chris actually winded up winning the contest along with a $50,000 cash prize. Winning the contest gave Chris a platform as he started speaking around the world at Bill Phillip's Transformation events. This opportunity gave Chris access to some very financially successful people that opened his eyes up to new possibilities. He said that up until that point his life was headed nowhere. Meeting Bill Phillips wasn't enough to change his life overnight. But it was enough to bump his life just a few degrees in a new direction. Seeing that it was possible to create success for himself he then took on the next challenge which was creating financial success (he still didn't have that piece of the puzzle figured out yet). One day Chris came across an email from internet marketer Mike Koenig. He got sucked into the launch of one of Mike's products which to him was an opportunity that just made perfect sense. The cost of Mike Koenig's program was $2000. At the time Chris didn't have the money. On the last day of the launch Mike made a payment plan available. It turned out that Chris had just enough on one of his credit cards to make the first payment so he bought it. This is where the story begins, click the link to listen in... Live Big, Dream Big

The key acquiring great wealth is to increase the number of 000's that you work with. Most of us know or have at least heard of someone who's made a lot of money in flipping real estate, but have you ever heard of someone who flips businesses? Well my guest today, Ace Chapman, has flipped over 50 businesses and he's made a nice piece of change doing it. I came across Ace on another podcast a few months ago. The concepts that he talked about made a lot of sense to me. Curious to learn more, I headed over to Amazon and picked up his ebook, The Ace Formula. After reading The Ace Formula I knew I wanted to bring him on the show to talk about the process of flipping businesses. Ace's core philosophy is that it doesn't make sense to start a new business from scratch. Sounds logical since it's common knowledge that most businesses fail but I had never heard anyone layout the concept in as much detail before I came across Ace. If you've never checked out his podcast or watched his channel on youtube you gotta check out some of his stuff, he provides lots of great knowledge and value for free. In this interview my intention was to avoid as many "fluff" questions as possible to give you valuable insight into how he developed his expertise and how he approaches the process of buying and flipping a business. Which by the way in many cases he uses no money of his own.

Ever talk to someone who seems like they're connected to their source on a deeper level than most people? A few days ago I had a great conversation with one of those kind of people, internet rockstar Aaron Rashkin. I've learned a ton from Aaron over the years and I've watched a lot of his content. As a matter of fact I've consumed so much of his content that it was kinda like I already knew him before the interview (Has that ever happened to you? Weird, right?). For those of your who might not be familiar with Aaron, he's been a full time entrepreneur for almost 20 years. He's been a top sales producer in multiple home based businesses. And over the last few years his skills have allowed him to earn more than $1 million online. As a business consultant Aaron has helped dozens of people reach their first 6-figure incomes and has even helped a few reach the 7 figure mark. One of the things that I can appreciate about Aaron is one of those guys that pushes in all of his chips and puts it all on the line. Once he sets his sights the only option is success (he provided some interesting insights about this characteristic during the interview). Whether you're already running a successful business or you're still trying to figure your life out you're going to get a lot of value from this conversation and Aaron's insights. Some things that we talked about; How he was able to create a 7 figure income online How he overcame the fear of success The mindset required to develop a high tolerance for risk How he decides where to place his focus in his business and more Live Big, Dream Big Will Lane
