Show notes

In this second part of The close 7 Level Selling, Aarnio presents to us the Anatomy of a Sale in a straight line, and he lets us know that 'a good sale is straight from open to close, offering no room to get off track'.

Learn the difference between selling and negotiating (even when they are closely related to each other) and a well-structured sale vs. A badly structured sale. Inside any good structure, there are extremely limited possibilities, and without a doubt, inside a bad structure, there are too many possibilities. Usually, the salesperson must be a natural or excellent negotiator to close with no structure at all.

As we know from part 1 of this book, there is power in every word we say. Once you become a salesperson, you'll never settle to a regular vocabulary. Aarnio will give you empowering words to incorporate into your language, appear more certain, and powerful while handling any prospect.

Are you afraid of owning who you are, unapologetically? Is there something in your past that's keeping you from stepping into your power? If this resonates with you, then you are not alone. Our today's guest is author and lifestyle entrepreneur Ashley Hannawacker, maybe the best-looking person to ever come to this show, but she is much more than a pretty face and she's here to show us why. Ashley Hann is here to help you be yourself, stop telling yourself bullshit lies and invest in your foundation.

Ashley Hann is the author of Magnetic Confidence, a lifestyle entrepreneur and a personal branding expert. She suffered some serious trauma during her early years that kept her from embracing herself and expressing her true craft. She hid behind a brand for years but struggled to reflect her personal brand out to the world. This unclear message got people thinking of Ashley as a fitness coach (even her close friends!), and it wasn't until Gary Vee stepped in to work his magic on her that she grabbed the courage to become a personal brand and make sure everybody knows what she's all about.

In this episode, we'll take a close look at being a digital nomad, living the freedom lifestyle and working with a laptop from anywhere around the world. We'll also deep dive into why by being your true self, you will become polarizing and how to design your business around your life. Tune in and learn why it's time to get super clear on your vision and your values and stop people-pleasing if you want to take charge of your life.

Self Made: Confession 3 Jan 13, 2020

Show notes

Making a million dollars of ambition a reality takes guts, determination, an exercised risk threshold, and a Self-Made spirit. If Aarnio didn't have those, real estate would've never become his muse, his lover, his focus, and his reason to be.

Just as fast as he learned the music language and thanks to determination, he suddenly became a financial preacher to anyone and everyone who would or would not listen.

Soon, he got enthusiastic to tell his father everything he was learning for this new passion, and the answer was: 'Real estate is a fad, you know music, stick to music. This is just your flavor of the week. You will never buy a property!'

Some of the self-made lessons you will learn in this Confession are:

People who didn't achieve their dreams might try to kill yours, so find people who are chasing the same dream and form a spiritual family. You can always learn new skills to bring new words and a new language to your life, and last but not least, don't forget to save a portion of your cash each month for further education, school is never finished for the professional.

What's up with all the excuses you keep making up for yourself? If you are reading this, you are part of the privileged group with access to the internet in this world, yet you still find the time to complain. If this sounds like you, it's time to step back and let our podcast guest Andy Dane show you the way. No matter where the world put you there is always something you can do about it, but remember, you are going to have to hustle to get where you want.

Andy Dane, the author of One Hundred Doors and real estate titan based out of California, has investments in Florida, Texas, Ohio, Tennessee, and Cali. Andy was born into a poor family and he has been working since the age of 12, a real hustler. Starting out as a bartender, he showed up 20 days in a row until he got a job as a waiter in a fine-dining restaurant. Within a year he was managing the place and he was also a successful sommelier. The wine lifestyle eventually burned him out and that is when he transitioned into a mindful, grounded person through the power of ancient medicine like Yoga, oils, and crystals. Today, he brings wisdom into his life and business decisions and teaches others how to unlock their own success mindset.

In this episode, we'll learn why no one stays in the flip game for long and how you can wholesale paper and earn just as much as flipping without the excruciating effort. Plus, Andy shares with us the buy and hold principle, why syndication is the name of the game and the emotional drain that comes out of coaching. If you think Yoga and mindfulness are for 'pussies', then you better think again, because it may be the thing that stops you from unlocking your power.

Money People Deal: Chapter 3 Jan 06, 2020

Show notes

Let's be honest, sometimes we get confused by words and we believe they mean the same thing. Well, guess what? This chapter gives us all the answers we have been looking for when it comes to thinking that cash and credit are the same, or that money and wealth are the same.

The biggest distinction between wealth and money lies in the units of measurement. Wealth is measured in time, and money is measured in dollars. With easy to understand examples, Stefan shows us that living paycheck to paycheck (doesn't matter how much the paycheck is), does not imply you are going to be wealthy for the rest of your life. But if you owned a large real estate portfolio instead, that can provide you more passive income than you need to live.

Can you survive forever without working again living off your paycheck? Wealth is measured in time; money is measured in dollars.

If you are about to enter the real estate business, you better be aware of some things: nothing in life comes easy, not even flipping houses. You better start looking for the perfect real estate model for you, just like our today's guest: Chris Grenzig got started in the real estate game the day he entered a house flipping course and not far from that day he realized he could make a lot of money out of a single property. Tune this episode and see how Chris went from being the Assistant Men's Soccer Coach to become the Asset Manager of an Investment Company with over 3,100 units and more than $195 million in assets acquired.

Chris Grenzig grew up in Long Island and moved to Brooklyn 2 years ago to get serious on the grind. After discovering the flipping model, Grenzig realized this was not the ideal real estate model for him. Later on, he found out about syndication and this suited his necessities in the perfect way. This guy knows there are only two ways to scale in real estate: whether you start making more deals, or you start making bigger deals. Finding the ideal real estate model may not be easy, but once you find something that was made for you, it all starts to make sense. According to Chris, all deals come from three sources: networking, marketing and negotiating. Without one of these, closing deals will be more difficult, that's why Chris goes classic on doing phone calls as his primary strategy.

In this episode, we will learn how elemental phone calls are not only to talk about business, but to build strong relationships with clients; why Chris spends literally hours a week nurturing his relationships through the phone, the importance of managing properties and the not so sweet parts of real estate. Ready to learn how to get results after putting all the effort into your body, mind, and soul? Listen to this episode as you invest in your professional and personal development and learn to Respect the Grind.
