Hard Times Create Strong Men: Chapter 6 Nov 12, 2019

Show notes

After World War II, a new world order was established with America as the center of the universe. American culture invaded other countries for economic gain, and this made America a world exporter of not just goods, services, money and debt, but also culture. One of America's biggest exports during this era of newfound wealth and surplus was a new kind of citizen ready to wreak havoc on society: the teenager.

In this chapter of Hard Times Create Strong Men, Stefan explores the birth of the teenager and how it led to the deferral of adulthood, also known as the emerging adult. The continuous struggle for adults in this generation is to "find themselves" and their perfect match. And how the constant quest for happiness and fulfillment leaves many men in between things and never allowing them to reach their full potential…

Why not. instead of trying to find yourself, you define yourself, make yourself and create yourself as you go. Draw a line in the sand, claim yourself and say: this is who I want to become. This is how I shall live today. Who are you to be today?

The Close: Seven Level Selling - Part 1 (continued) Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

Let's remember something: Anyone who is pursuing entrepreneurship, business or real estate investing, your relationships are your one and only asset. We are now entering the 7 Core Levels of Agreement universe. The base of these levels is two words we often use when we talk about the weather: COLD or WARM.

The seven levels of agreement work in a sequence. That means you must follow each step to make it to the next level. From clichés, facts, and opinions, to hopes, dreams, feelings, weaknesses, and needs, these levels of agreement will give you the wide capacity and understanding to reach a true agreement or make a successful sale.

We all know opportunities come from connecting and being intimate with the people we come into contact with. A situation of this kind can present at work, at home, with our family or friends, or even with someone we just met. At the end of the day, we are all looking for the same thing: connecting with others. Learn to never be stuck in a conversation with nothing to say ever again. Become a master of connection and transition upwards with stock questions in the 7 levels of agreement.

"If you can connect with a person, and move them through the levels of agreement without creating conflict or blockage in the sequence, you will find what motivates them, what scares them, what their concerns are, and finally what they need to feel secure to work with you and your company."

Natural salespeople, all have two things in common: they 1) follow a natural framework for their sales presentation and 2) they all sound amazing. A great salesperson is a blend of mechanics and delivery which creates both a logical and emotional argument for the sale.

The Close provides a fresh new perspective on how to open the sale, present the value and close the sale using proven methods that have worked in all industries. Some of the techniques in this book have never been seen before and are so powerful that they could be used for tremendous good or evil if used by the wrong hands.

Self Made: Confession 2 Oct 28, 2019

Show notes

What should we do when we realize our dreams are dead?

Stefan's rock band sank like the Titanic and with that, he felt empty and exhausted. He didn't move, didn't shower and felt like no sleep at all. Some people would say he was depressed, but he called it burnout.

"I felt like an obsolete computer that had been tossed in the trash bin. I had been a loyal and compliant machine; I had faithfully gone down the assembly line of the entire education system from kindergarten through high school graduation and on to a post-secondary degree. I had gone to school; I had gotten a degree and I had a 'good' job just like I was told."

After the great disappointment, Stefan was the only thing he didn't aspire to be: an average guy.

You may know that average is dangerous, but extraordinary is where the fortune lies. After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad in his mother's couch, real estate became his new rock'n'roll.

Learn how Stefan Aarnio went from selling luxury hotel rooms over the telephone in the middle of the night, with a major in English and a minor in music, to know every rule of the game, and winning it. Enter: https://stefanaarnio.com/

What does it take to become a self-made millionaire?, What are the steps you have to take today to achieve this dream?, Is it possible for you?

Many have wondered, few have succeeded...

Self Made: Confessions of a Twenty-Something Self Made Millionaire follows the real-life story of Stefan Aarnio (award-winning real estate investor and entrepreneur) through the struggle of starting out with zero cash, zero credit and zero experience in his pursuit of financial freedom.
