Now, let's dive into today's episode...

You wonder how the heck can you stop working your day job? This is a great episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast to listen to, because guest Kathleen Peddicord could be considered the foremost authority on ways to get to that goal!

Kathleen is the founder and publisher of Live and Invest Overseas, and boy… has she ever traveled. This impressive woman has lived abroad for decades. But did she ever plan the life she lives now? Not by a long shot. In fact, she says it was accidental.

While Kathleen always thought it would be neat to live in another country and had a love for castles and such, she didn’t know how she would get there. As a writer she had a very romantic idea of what that life might be like. Then something happened that allowed her to ride on the coattails of one of her bosses and mentors. She took a job that allowed her to travel and then got the opportunity to open and run a publishing business in Ireland.

From there, Kathleen was on her way to living her dream, living and working abroad in different countries. That’s something pretty cool for a small town girl from Baltimore with big dreams of becoming a writer, a dream she had since 6th grade. Kathleen started in Baltimore in publishing, starting as a proofreader, then editor and finally becoming a writer. That opened a lot of doors for her.

So how did Kathleen make the leap from writer to world-traveling entrepreneur? After 23 years working for one publishing company, he decided to retire. She didn’t need to work; she had saved money; her husband worked and brought in an income. That was when she was 45. Kathleen would be a full-time stay-at-home mom. At that time she was in Paris.

Kathleen says if you’re going to do nothing, Paris is a perfect place to do it, because she was able to take 6-hour walks with her young son and on her own. She was happy, but one day at 2 o’clock while she was sitting in a park she saw a friend who asked her what the heck she was doing. That’s the AHA! moment that made her realize she needed to start a business. She walked home and talked to her husband. They decided that to make her new business a reality that they would have to move out of Paris. They chose Panama. To get the backstory on that part, you’re going to have to listen to this episode of Cash Flow Diary. The short story is that Panama is an excellent place for North Americans to start a business!

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

What does Cash Flow Diary podcast guest Josh Cantwell, real estate investing business superstar, and Superman have in common? They were both hail from Ohio. That’s right… Superman was born of the minds of a couple of very creative individuals in Ohio; Josh’s entrepreneurial mindset was formed by watching his entrepreneurial father in Ohio… a place Josh continues to call home even today.

Though CEO of Strategic Real Estate Coach, Freeland Ventures and Yellow Jacket Properties, Josh is the Josh wasn’t always the phenomenal real estate entrepreneur he is today. In fact, he started out playing ball in his teens. But instead of a chasing a dream life in sports, Josh went another direction. He attended college and then became a financial advisor. The one thing he saw in each and every one of the top-earning clients he worked with is that they all owned real estate. A light went off, and he decided at a very young age to buy real estate and become a landlord. This ended up being one of his best decisions ever; it put him on the path to true success and an impressive income.

Josh says that while he didn’t know everything about doing real estate deals, but he was willing to learn and willing to fail. He adds that he made plenty of mistakes and had failure events; he says that learning means we’re going to get scars.

Talking about scars, that’s something Josh knows about… not just in his learning experience. He is a cancer survivor and has the physical scars to show for it. Josh says that during that time, he had three very young kids and a real estate business that was coming unwound because he had not leveraged the talents of other people to help him run things.

Josh says that cancer changed the way he looked at his life, his business, how he handles tasks and so much more, so he looks at it as somewhat of a gift. In short, he learned that the here and now are more important than any business to-do list filled with items that may never get done. The fact is that there will always be a to-do list.

This is a bit of a different type of interview and you need to listen. When you do, really think about what Josh shares, especially about managing fears around, well, anything. In fact, listen to what he says about enjoying the pain! Learn more. LISTEN NOW.

CFD 314 - Arthur Greeno Tells Us Not to Be Chicken When It Comes to Pursuing Our Dreams Oct 03, 2016

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

Anyone who knows me also knows I love a certain dining establishment’s menu items… in particular all their delicious chicken dishes. It’s Chick-fil-A! That’s why I’m so excited to chat with Arthur Greeno, owner of not one but two really successful Chick-fil-A restaurants in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Arthur is also a two-time author and two-time Guinness World Record holder. In short, Arthur has been busy for the last 27 years building an admirable life, hitting high marks for his success goals.

Before the chicken hit the plate of Arthur’s life and put him on the road to massive success, he says he was lost. He wasn’t sure what he would do in life. He didn’t come from a family that embraced much. In fact, alcoholism was an issue. Young Arthur looked at the people his parents hung out with and how they all lived. He decided early on that struggling to make ends meet wasn’t something he wanted to do. He looked at everyone his family and he surrounded themselves with and make a conscious choice to surround himself with more productive people who had goals and success. That way he could learn from them and follow in their footsteps.

This started for Arthur in high school. The funny thing is that’s how he started learning how to change how he himself operated. He cleaned up his language and “colorful metaphors.” To be accepted by those with better social skills and greater opportunities in life Arthur knew he couldn’t continue acting like he had learned to be.

On top of this, at the age of 17 Arthur was diagnosed with scoliosis and had to wear a back brace. However, that didn’t stop him from moving forward, working four jobs or finding his passion for Chick-fil-A. That started when he took a job at a new Chick-fil-A restaurant in his town where he would work for four years. The company culture grabbed him; he decided he wanted to own a Chick-fil-A, so he started talking to other owners and learning how to give top-of-the-line customer care.

Arthur learned all the systems and sales know-how it takes to run a successful business. He thought it would be easy, but he learned quickly that building and keeping systems going well was far more of a challenge. He says he went to the best owners and learn their systems. Arthur says that he has always been blown away by the generosity of these owners. They openly shared everything that had gone wrong for them and how they fixed it.

Today Arthur speaks across the country on topics in leadership, inspiration and drive. Because Chick-fil-A’s focus on customer service, Arthur trains his team to do just that. He tells them to serve the customers first and then serve them chicken.

In this interview you’ll learn how a young worker in the company became an extremely successful Chick-fil-A franchise owner and so much more. You’ll learn that Arthur overcame far more than a back brace and kept going anyway. Learn more. LISTEN NOW.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

Originally from South Africa, Valhalla Wealth Financial’s president MC Laubscher didn’t start out as the asset-management and wealth strategist he is today. What you’ll learn if you read his book is that he started out as a rugby player. He didn’t come from entrepreneurial roots; he also wasn’t a natural sales guy. But he knew that if he wanted to enter the world of entrepreneurs and real estate, which is something he found a great passion for, he would have to build his sales skills.

The good news is that MC realized he could develop those skills, so he started studying leaders in sales and entrepreneurship. He also realized he could build a team that would help him, especially in the sales side. With that came a realization that we are all selling something every day of our lives. You’ll have to listen to this episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast to understand this fully. That said, it’s something I’m in total agreement about with this guest, which you already know if you have been keeping up with me for any period of time!

That’s not the only thing that MC and I agree on, especially when it comes to sales and the illusion of security that we have as a worker in a daily J – O – B. Once you understand just how precarious your position is you might be more open to getting out there to become an entrepreneur yourself.

MC says that one thing you need to learn is how to get beyond the NO. In sales people are going to say NO to you a lot… before they say YES. Getting to the YES is a whole lot of fun though, so don’t cheat yourself out of the experience. Put your fears aside, pick the phone up and make those calls you’ve been putting off.

Wise words! Again, I couldn’t agree more, which makes this one of those interviews that I really, really enjoyed doing. You’re going to want to listen to this one, because we cover way more than sales. We discuss things you should be doing to move yourself forward in working toward your goals, like how and who you might want to study thoroughly. You’ll also hear about why you need to be a true lifetime learner who can put what we’ve already learned aside to bring new knowledge into our brains. After all, we’re living in the information age and everything is always changing and evolving. Learn more. LISTEN NOW.

CFD 311 - Chuck Dixon Draws Entrepreneurship Out for Us in Exciting, Graphic New Ways! Sep 22, 2016

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

If you don’t know who Chuck Dixon is, that’s okay. You probably know a few of the superheroes he’s helped bring to life. Chuck has written for DC Comics and Marvel, and now works for some of the most well-known and beloved animated television shows on the planet. When asked how he got into this field, Chuck says he never had any other talents than writing for comics, so he stuck with that path and it paid off big time.

Interestingly, he watched other writers and artists who wanted to do their own work but who took day jobs as writers and artists… and had zero energy left at the end of the day to do their own work. So Chuck took a job as a janitor, so he had plenty of creative energy at the end of his work day. He could focus on his own artistic endeavors any time he wanted. Plus, he didn’t have a college degree so he was at the lower end of the job food chain.

He said his role model was Black Beard… yes, the pirate, because he burned his own boats to cut off any other path than forward. Whenever friends and family would ask Chuck what he was doing, he’d simply tell him he was Black Beard. There was no other option.

So what brought him to the realization that writing comic books was his thing? Chuck says he was into comic books as a child, because he was always reading them. He was a sickly kid, so it makes sense. He also says he always thought in comic-book form. He sees the images in his mind. So he started trying his hand at comics. Over time he got better and better with the character development and story lines.

Chuck says the story lines are actually based on the classics all the way back to antiquity. In his opinion the development is based on male wish fulfillment and their “I’ll fix it” mentality. That goes for the stories around the female characters, too. It is and always has been a problem-solution sort of thing. However, female readers want more than characters go 20 pages beating up on each other; they want more story and more of an inner view to the characters’ thinking and motivations.

In this incredibly different type of Cash Flow Diary podcast interview, you’ll learn a lot about how we as entrepreneurs can create the lives we want… just like the superheroes this guests speaks for. There’s a whole lot of psychology included in this one. Give this episode your attention in a whole new way. Chuck has some amazing insights into the iconic characters we find in comic books and on movie screens across the globe. Plus, Chuck writes for graphic novels and other pieces for all sorts of companies, including the Navy! Learn more. LISTEN NOW.

Now, let's dive into today's episode...

In the last episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast the focus was on learning to fail forward and fail frequently because it happens to be necessary to your success as an entrepreneur. In this episode the focus is on another necessary skill you must develop to be a successful entrepreneur and investor. It’s marketing! With the New Year fast approaching, marketing is a subject you need to put your mind to and get ready to follow through with your marketing plan in a big way. It’s a sure bet that if you don’t pay much attention to your marketing strategies… or if you don’t have any strategies in place… you could be doing a whole lot better in your business. This is especially true in Real Estate Investing. Marketing is far more than the definitions you find in any dictionary online or off. What marketing really means is getting out into the world to let people know you exist and that you can solve their problems! In Real Estate, investors often think because they have a deal or two that’s all they need. Not so! You have to build, maintain and grow your database of sellers, buyers and other investors. You have to get out there and actually talk to people. You have to share with others your vision in a few short sentences. You need to develop a clearly stated elevator pitch and use it with the right targets. You have to use the online tools that are available to you right now to help you spread your message. Many are free! You have to attend networking meetings and talk to more people in everyday life. If you fall short in your marketing and promotions efforts, you’re not alone. It is one of the top failings that entrepreneurs and business owners share in common. Marketing is a process and it’s something you must learn to do well in your business. It is something you will always have to do. You’ll come to understand that perfection probably won’t ever be achieved. Imperfect action .is better than perfect inaction! Learn some of the things you can do to promote what you do better and market your business now and into the future.
