E208: Changing Your Career for Financial Freedom - Vikram Raya Apr 08, 2021

Show notes

Switching to an entirely different career is an inherently risky and daunting move. Find out more about changing your career for financial freedom with this week’s guest, Vikram Raya. Find out more about our investing opportunities here 👉 www.vonfinch.com/invest 👈

Vikram Raya has one of the most astonishing track records among our guests to date. He is an accomplished cardiologist, biohacking expert, and coach to elite doctors within his specialty. More than that, he is also an entrepreneur and real estate investor that has raised over $350 million in assets. With the demand of both of these careers, how can one accomplish so much in one lifetime?

Having grown up in a lower-middle-class home, Vikram learned from a very young age that having no money caused pain. From then on, he strived to achieve abundance so that money will never be an issue for his own family. He went to medical school, became a cardiologist, and went into practice. However, that path did not get him to where he really wanted to be, and so he went into real estate investing and started building more wealth from there. On this week’s episode, we have the honor of hearing his journey first-hand.

If you are in a completely different career and aren’t sure if making the switch is worth it, Vikram’s story will serve as an inspiration for you to take the plunge. Let us help you get to where you want to be and listen to this episode where we talk about achieving financial freedom, surrounding yourself with the right people, and striving for growth time and time again throughout your career.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Double down on your passions and interests.

2. The growth process never stops--if you’re not growing, you’re dying.

3. Surround yourself with the right people.

4. Never stop chasing what you want to achieve in life.

EP205: The Art of Building Rapport in Negotiation - Chris Voss Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

How do you build rapport during a negotiation even when there is no common ground? Let’s learn more about this with Chris Voss. Join our private investor network at 👉 www.vonfinch.com/invest 👈

We’re back with more golden advice from master negotiator Chris Voss! As a renowned businessman, author, academic, and former FBI hostage negotiator, Chris has formed some of the best strategies when it comes to negotiating—be it with other entrepreneurs or hostage-takers. And on this episode, he shares some amazing tips on how you can negotiate deals as if someone’s life depended on it.

Negotiating a deal is one of the hardest skills to master, but it is an inevitable part of an entrepreneur’s life. Listen as Chris Voss and I talk about how to spot the decision-makers in the room, how to utilize dynamic silence, and how to build better rapport with people even with no common ground. He also tells us

why

common ground is not inherently useful in negotiation, and how expressing

understanding

is a much more effective way to build a relationship.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. The more people use singular pronouns, the less important they are, and vice versa.

2. Use dynamic silence to make people feel heard—let them fill the silence and watch the deal seal itself.

3. To save time, ask the other party how they want to proceed and give them the opportunity to offer you something good.

4. Finding common ground makes people feel great, but it is not entirely useful in negotiation.

5. Don’t deny negativity; understand it. People feel better when they are understood.
