His strategy was straightforward and not at all different from the plans many of us make to leave our soul sucking day job.
You know... Budget, save, invest and retire early on the beach somewhere.
If only it were that simple.
See we can know the steps but not understand them. We can understand the steps but not implement them. We can implement them but not succeed.
There are numerous areas in which we can fall short of the ever elusive financial freedom that we desire.
But if you've known me for any stretch of time, you are aware that I've made it my mission to help all of us better succeed.

Most of our beliefs form in early childhood and often times from our parents and loved ones.
I always play with this idea: If I was born 200 years ago halfway across the world, how different would my belief system be? So who’s to say my beliefs now are true? See, it’s some trippy stuff.
This leads me to believe that our beliefs are simply things that we hold true in our own minds and that at any time, we can change those beliefs - but only if we choose to.
On today's show, I highlight the beliefs about our financial goals that may be holding many of us back - the type of beliefs that cause most of us to stagnate or burnout or not get started at all.
Your money mindset matters and today we are going to see just how deep down the rabbit hole we can go to uproot the things that aren't serving us.

Currently managing over 300 units after only being in real estate for three years, it’s clear that Colin Douthit, today's guest, knows how to invest and how to do it well.
He realized early on that he needed to be far more profitable to create the life he wanted so he took a hard look at his business and portfolio to understand what was working and what wasn't in hopes that he could do more of the former.
The end result came in the form of a brand new business. Since Colin had managed his own units efficiently in the prior months, he had the expertise and manpower to vertically integrate his business - coming out on the other end with two businesses.
Colin has a construction company that followed the same model and is constantly looking for ways to become more profitable by systematically building a network of businesses that compliment each other. In today's episode, we discuss exactly how this can translate to your endeavors.

Health, Wealth and Time Freedom wrapped up with a bow in 1 jam-packed episode...
You may believe that building wealth as an investor is all about about putting aside money for vacancy, repairs, and long term capital improvements, so the funds are there when you need them -- this is 100% true and we'll discuss this on today's podcast, but that's not all.
To have a better quality of life, that wealth should be about much more. How about wealth in time? Wealth in health?

The United States offers nearly 400 distinct and diverse markets while most media pundits characterize the “housing market” as if it were a single entity.

However, there IS an Atlanta, Georgia or a Dallas, Texas real estate market.

On today\'s episode I am interviewed by Zachary Beach to discuss Call Reluctancy
This is a huge topic that’s critically important for your real estate business!
If you’re not finding deals with sellers on the phone, you should be.
If you don’t know how to deal with the FEAR that surrounds it, it can paralyze you and your business.
I used to hate making those CALLS and would do anything to avoid them. But when I started using the phone my business jumped by 1000% almost instantly.
Without sales you’ve got no business. Using the phone is the fastest way for you to get new leads.
On this episode, you’re going to learn a simple shortcut that not only gets you to make every call, but guarantees a win each time you do.
What we\'re going to cover:
· WHY you’re afraid to pick up the phone
· WHEN it’s red flag

One of the biggest value-bombs dropped on the episode was a moment we were discussing the sacrifice to save, simple but profound - it boils down to how bad you want it. \"The more roommates you have, the cheaper rent gets\". Paula practice this until her rent was just $200, at which point she could save heavily.

As a real estate entrepreneur, I\'m sure you\'ve heard that half of all businesses fail in their first year, 80% are gone within five years and that 96% of all business fail within 10 years.
I know just how hard it is to work a full time job, invest in real estate and create/run your business on the side. In 2017, I ended a successful career as a financial professional to pursue my own journey of full-time, self-employment, so that I could do the work that I felt most called to do.
Having being groomed as an \"employee\", I realized just how much I didn\'t know about what it took to actually own and operate my own business.
My first full year fending for myself was brutal. It was riddled with self doubt, overwhelm from all that I believed, and lack of clarity of what I needed to focus on next.
As a result, that first year was the most difficult year, that I have ever experienced in my lifetime.
However, it was all so worth it! With that being said, when I look back at all the challenges that I faced, I realized that it didn\'t have to be so hard.
In this episode, Paul Thompson and I share how involvement in a healthy mastermind group as helped to turn things around for us and countless others on the journey to full-time self employment.
Masterminds have had such a profound effect on me that I knew by launching my own I could help that that same effect on others and their businesses.

Chad Doty has 12 years of experience as a multifamily investor, but he wasn’t born with real estate in his blood. Originally, Chad was a management consultant for Arthur Andersen. Watching that company meltdown prior to him making partner made him realize that letting outside circumstances control his life wasn’t for him.
So Chad then founded his own consulting company, only to realize he was simply trading time for money.

Ali Boone is a lifestyle entrepreneur, business consultant and real estate investor, and has literally defined non-conformity when it comes to her career. Ali left her corporate 9-to-5 job as an Aerospace Engineer, despite the “dream job” status that came with it, to follow her passion for being her own boss and creating true lifestyle design. She did this through real estate investing.
Her own real estate portfolio started with pre-construction investments in Nicaragua and then she moved on to investing in turnkey rental properties in various markets throughout the U.S. She managed to invest in her first five properties in 18 months using primarily creative financing. After starting out as a real estate investor just for herself and her own financial benefit, she went on to create her company Hipster Investments which facilitated over $18M in real estate investment sales in its first five years of business.

Her primary focuses revolve around passive income and passive investment options. In addition to running Hipster Investments and working as an active business consultant, she’s a pilot and teaches flying and she can often be found snowboarding, hiking, or volunteering in California prisons. Her ultimate goal is to one day challenge Tim Ferriss to a lifestyle design duel.
On today’s episode we talk with Ali about her journey on becoming an entrepreneur and real estate investor. Ali shares with us how she knew real estate was the right path for living the life of her dreams. Ali knew that she didn’t want to fix and flip homes and decided to focus on the passive income side of real estate.

On today’s show we welcome Amy Wan, an attorney who specializes in real estate fund syndication for entrepreneurs. Amy is based in Los Angeles, where she runs her company Bootstrap Legal.

On today’s show we welcome Gena Lofton, founder of Passive Income Advisors. Abandoned by her parents, homeless, and eventually growing up in foster care taught Gena that financial literacy is one of the major problems in the world today. Challenging the status quo of going to school, getting a job, investing in a 401(k) of well diversified stocks, bonds and mutual funds will not work today. The fallacy resulted in baby boomers taking out $10 billion in Reverse Mortgages in 2016 alone. Today’s economy, requires everyone to have tax efficient/inflation hedged, streams of income producing assets sufficient to cover their expenses as soon as possible. Gena recently released her book Escape the Madness: 10 Steps to Get Out of the Rat Race, to help others implement the steps she used to become financially free.
Gena has a wide variety of professional experience, ranging from Strategy and Technology for DIRECTV which helped fuel the growth of the business and sale to AT&T to growing Ernst & Young’s Management consulting business through the sale to Cap Gemini. Gena also served on the Board of Los Angeles City College Foundation. Gena has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration and a Bachelor\'s in Political Science. Today, Gena spends time overseeing her assets which consist of over 4k residential units, oil and gas investments, assisted living facilities, a resort in Belize, an online business, Natural Resource companies, and AT&T.

On today’s show we have financial advisor and real estate investor, Brent Sutherland. Brent has worked in financial services for over 11 years, both in the corporate accounting and investment world, and in the boutique financial planning arena. He has witnessed, firsthand, how the financial services industry has fashioned itself into an overly complex machine in an effort to cause confusion, encourage mistakes, and justify fees; all to better benefit its own bottom line.
Brent is the owner of a financial planning company called Ntellivest, and his objective is to help individuals turn off the noise and challenge the traditional approach to financial planning and thinking. He believes there is a strong correlation between financial noise and financial mistakes, which can further delay one’s personal financial success. In his experience as a financial advisor and personal finance enthusiast, Brent has found that most often the simplest solutions and some outside the box thinking will better help individuals on their way towards having a better grip of their own financial world.

On today’s show we’re speaking with engineer, Sunny Burns. Sunny makes grenades for the DOD for fun; yep, the Department of Defense, while also selling pacifiers online. Sunny paid for his tuition in college by selling 19 cars. Sunny is a real estate investor who got a start house-hacking a fourplex. He is currently getting paid to live for free. This is one of my favorite subjects to educate others on, so when I found out what Sunny did and how beastly of a deal he got, I knew I had to have him on the show.
Sunny is the definition of an entrepreneur and has multiple streams of passive income. At 26 years old, Sunny is on the fast track to financial freedom all while maintaining a full-time engineering job at the DOD. I am sure you will get tons of value of this show, because I know I did, and you will like the little bit about travel hacking midway through the show.
