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

Not only does Ace Chapman have a really cool name he also does something really cool for people looking for businesses that produce cashflow. He connects them with businesses up for sale that are right for their goals. He talks to us about micro-private equity funds, greed, the criteria involved in buying and selling businesses, and a whole lot more. Ace had an interest in business early on, getting his first taste for it when he sold his Kindergarten pictures at church. From there his passion for business grew. He learned to listen for problems he could solve for sellers (sound familiar?) and how to raise capital to purchase businesses. His first deal came when he was in college and learned what “LBO” meant and why it’s so important. (It’s a Leveraged Buy Out and it is a critical concept when buying businesses.) Ace hit plenty of walls, but he kept going. He knew that if he could buy this first business it would change his life. He was right! It put him on his current path, helping lots and lots of other people do the same as he has done. He didn’t focus on what he did or didn’t have; he didn’t focus on what other people were saying. He focused on solving problems he could solve in the market. He had to shift his mindset, too. This is an incredibly interesting Cash Flow Diary podcast episode, because Ace does similar things in his market as what I do in mine, but there are lots of differences, too. He even had to learn how NOT to listen to those in his life who wanted to “protect” him from making his initial decision to buy that first business. You’ll enjoy listening to Ace as he speaks from the heart about his path and passion in business and life. You will be amazed by the choices he had to make to reach his entrepreneurial goals.

Ever wondered where your audience is so you can find them and share your message with them? Cash Flow Diary Podcast guest Adam Hommey has the answers. He tells us how to communicate with those you seek to serve in your business (otherwise known as customers and clients) and where they can be found. Here’s a hint: Online! Adam helps people just like you build a better business through sharing their messages in really smart ways using the latest technologies, tactics and a good dose of social media. In fact, he has a passion for helping others, and he doesn’t stop there. He is also the creator and founder of www.HelpMyWebsiteSell.com, which is just one of his successful businesses. A serial entrepreneur, Adam didn’t exactly plan to be on the path he is today. In fact, he initially wanted to be an attorney, but something in him was screaming that there had to be something different that was a better fit. He couldn’t see himself as a lawyer, but he didn’t know what he wanted to be. He graduated with a degree in political science, but he wouldn’t end up using it. Drifting for a couple of years, he collected what he learned from his real-world experiences to use later, and he met a lot of great people. One day someone suggested that he go back to school and earn his MBA, which is exactly what he did. Two years later he graduated with an MBA in HR Management, took a day job in the field and ended up working on the side in business training and development. BINGO! He’d found a match and that’s when he realized just how much he enjoyed helping others conquer their business challenges. Adam hasn’t looked back since. Maybe that’s because he’s so busy looking … and thinking … forward! Learn more.

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

Craig Ballantyne has helped lots and lots of individuals get fit and become the people they really want to be. We aren’t just talking about getting in better physical condition or losing excess pounds either! Craig lives by what he calls “extreme example” and says that while he doesn’t expect everyone else to do exactly as he does, he hopes what he does inspires others to take action… whatever that looks like for them. Craig is often called the most disciplined man in the room, and he earned that moniker for a reason. He is highly disciplined. What turned him into this passionate powerhouse of fitness? Craig says his earliest memory of being aware of how important transformation is to us as human beings is of his own mother who was frustrated with her weight-loss program. So what is Craig’s current goal? Helping 10,000,000 people transform their lives. I’m pretty sure he’ll get there, too! Watching his journey – from starting a simple (but really, really good) fitness newsletter that he emailed out manually in 1999 to writing so many fitness articles for publications everywhere that they’d be hard to count to where he is today, providing tons of fitness and inspirational content – is awesome. Craig continues to inspire me, so I’m pretty sure you’ll get a little buzz from listening to what he has to say during this motivational Cash Flow Diary podcast episode.

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

Anyone who works with me knows I move quickly. I'm happy to say I'm not the only one. Talking to Joe Fairless showed me that he's an entrepreneur after my own heart. Of course, there are differences, and that's just fine. We all get to our goals in different ways. Joe likes Subway and I like Starbucks, so that's different. He's from Texas, having graduated in 2005 from Texas Tech, and I just have a PhD (public high school diploma). While our paths to investing in apartment buildings is completely different, we have a few things in common. That's what we discuss in this Cash Flow Diary podcast episode. Listen in as this former New York ad man talks about perspective, changing his mindset to keep reaching for bigger and bigger goals, networking with people who would become his private capital investors, and his transition to becoming the guy he is today. In short, he got into Real Estate Investing after putting his first $1,000 in savings into a low-interest CD and received a check for $18 after the bank held his money hostage for 12 months. He knew there had to be a better way, so he explored Real Estate and started investing in single-family homes. Over a period of a few years he entered into larger and larger properties, deals and goals. Listen in and learn how this not-so-average Joe went from being an underpaid ad guy to a high-earning Real Estate Investor, entrepreneur, soon-to-be author and business owner.

Want to have more energy to run your business and keep up as an entrepreneur? Dr. Carri Drzyzga, DC, ND, has a few suggestions. A chiropractor and doctor of naturopathy, Dr. Carri has a lot to say about the benefits of healing through natural pathways and how her studies brought her to being an expert in the field of functional medicine. In short, this is finding and fixing root causes of medical issues and symptomology so you can be functional again. The good news is that more and more traditional medical practitioners and alternative medicine practitioners are embracing this form of no-nonsense medicine. Dr. Carri says she doesn't believe in practicing "Band Aide" medicine or covering symptoms up with supplements and herbs. She says that to keep our topmost asset, which is our health, in its best shape to bring us the highest returns on our health we need to be aware of what is causing our symptoms in the first place. Through functional medicine, she brings patients back into balance and a whole new state of health! Further, Dr. Carri says that there are 14 fatigue factors. She wrote about 8 of them in a recent book, so be sure to look that up on her site and wherever books are sold. Of particular interest to entrepreneurs, there are reasons for your insomnia and overwhelm. Our bodies can get out of balance in many different ways, we don't prioritize exercise because we're too busy, healthy eating and getting the nutrients our bodies truly need is something we pay little attention to, and our stress and sex hormones could be out of whack. This is not the typical Cash Flow Diary podcast episode, but it does talk about assets and returns... in the form of your best health and quality of life. Don't miss this one. Listen Now.

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

Millionaire by age 38 and multi-millionaire by 39, Linda Jones started out a curious child who looked at the wealthy in her neck of the woods and wanted to know how they got there. Her people study started then and she eventually worked on Wall Street. How did she create her first few million? Through stocks, but that's not for everyone and she understands that fact. But she says anyone can become wealthy if they are willing to get up early and put in the work required. It's called action steps. Linda says there are six steps in creating wealth:

Create a wealthy mindset
Save a nest egg to invest
Find a mentor (I happen to know someone who is really good as a mentor) who has achieved the success and wealth you desire
Find the money engine
Find a way to compound your investments for higher rates of return, and
Put in place ways to protect your wealth.

This six-step process isn't something Linda learned in her studies or her job. She learned by doing. She learned by actually making investments. She also kept reading great books about mindset and focus, as well as those written by successful individuals who've been through the fire to reach their goals. Learn what these books are, what Linda says about continuing to read and learn, and how you can nurture your own wealthy mindset! Listen Now.

What if you could FIND $30K to invest in things that would bring you continual cashflow and improve your quality of life? That’s what Cash Flow Diary podcast guest Chris Miles helps people do every day! This clever cashflow detective and money expert has been asked to share his views on national TV and online, because when it comes to money he knows what he's talking about. He is a very smart cookie. Was this busy Utah father of five wasn’t always the cashflow creator he is today? No. He was once a college student with lots of ideas about what he might be when he graduated. However, he never did. One class shy of his degree, Chris walked away from his higher educational experience and become a financial planner. After four years of doing that J-O-B, however, he realized something wasn’t right. What he was telling his clients to do with their money wasn’t going to give them much in returns and certainly not enough to live a good life once they entered retirement. He felt like he was leading his clients astray and he couldn't do it any longer. He started listening to some of the wealthy people he was meeting and realized he was wrong and they were right. They were making lots of money and living well by investing in businesses and Real Estate! That’s when Chris quit his job and started focusing on creating streams of cash vs. piles of money. His life changed very quickly. Want to know how quickly and what things changed for Chris... and why he is not a fan of the 401K or other retirement accounts so many Americans are brainwashed to put their savings into? Listen Now.

This is an awesome story of a person turning an absolutely tragic situation into tremendous success. It is the true-life tale of Laptop Entrepreneur Mark Anastasi and I don't think I've ever been so quiet during an interview. Knowing who Mark is today would never tip you off to the challenges he overcame to get to where he is now. In a nutshell, Mark grew up in Athens, Greece, and left home at the age of 18 to live in the U.K. because there were no jobs in Greece. He took a job as a night-shift security guard to make ends meet, but earning minimum wage meant there wasn't going to get him there. He ended up $12K in credit card debt in two years. He then went into telesales and made exactly one sale in 14 months. He lost the job and sunk into a deep depression. Then something terrible happened. He lost his apartment and sought refuse in an abandoned building with 20 other homeless people. He couldn't go home because his family was in pretty bad shape, too. He had horrible negative self talk and even thought about suicide. Fortunately, one day he broke down and literally ran the streets of the city. Like a scene from a movie, Mark ended his running breakdown in a cemetery at the foot of a tombstone of a 22-year-old man who had accomplished a few things before passing. Instead of giving up, Mark had an epiphany. He vowed then and there to do everything he would have to do to turn his life around and make a success of himself. Once he made the decision to change his mindset everything else fell into place. Listen and learn how Mark got through the toughest time of his life and programmed his mind to create the life and cashflow he desired. It wasn't magic. It took belief and hard work. Listen Now.
