What’s going on everybody!? Welcome back to the Cashflow 2 Freedom podcast! If you’ve taken a look out your window, checked your social media feed, or turned on the television recently you’re probably aware of everything going on here in the United States. We have Corona Virus, we have riots, we have protests, we have social media, we have politics… we have A LOT of noise. Unfortunately a lot of us like to seek out this noise as a distraction from our everyday lives. This noise can and often does negatively redirect our lives and our goals. If we allow it, our thoughts and emotions can be hijacked by these external factors. Not only that, this can also lead to us continually wanting to escape our own reality instead of living it. This is where today’s episode comes in. Today we wanted to talk through these external forces, these factors, and the effects they can have on us. We talk about the importance of self auditing our everyday lives to ensure we’re maximizing our time and resources and staying on track to achieve the goals we’ve set. We talk about the heard mentality and the awful side effects it can have in business and investing, fake perceptions versus reality, and simply facing truths. This an in depth episode that a lot of us really need to hear, especially today when we have such huge distractions screaming for our attention every second of every day. Listen in, take a deep breath, and stay the course. Thanks for listening everybody, we’ll see you next time, AJ

Welcome everybody to Cashflow 2 Freedom!   Today is an incredibly special episode, and this is just part 1. It represents decades of work, time, effort, successes and failures. As you all know, it takes teams of people and years of discipline and hard work to achieve life goals. It’s a journey of ups and downs and one of the most difficult parts about the journey is having the knowledge to be able to execute successfully. The same applies to self storage investing.   This is one of the reasons I decided to put together the guide of all guides - The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage.   As I said, this guide has taken years of experience for myself and my team to be able to put together for you guys, and I couldn’t be more excited to provide this to you all.   This guide walks you through from start to finish - how to identify a potential storage facility, how to analyze markets, the keys to underwriting, acquiring a facility, changing day where you take over the facility. I even provide real examples with real numbers from deals we’ve done to show you exactly how we’ve gone from owning one storage facility, to now owning and operating over 1 Million square feet of storage valued at over $150 Million.   If you’ve been following me or listening to our podcasts for any length of time, you know that I can’t stand “fluff”. The only thing I want to provide is value. I want to provide actionable steps that you can utilize in your investing to help you build and live the life you’ve always dreamed of. This guide is no different and is probably one of the most (if not the most) valuable pieces of work I’ve ever created.   Today’s podcast is a break down, or a sneak peak if you will, of what you can expect to find in this guide. Take notes and get ready to pick up your own copy of The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage.   Pick up your copy of the The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage here https://selfstorageincome.com/   Thanks everybody for listening and for all of the amazing feedback and support. --AJ   **   After you buy the book on Amazon - Make sure you grab your FREE Bonus Investment Calculator by filling out the form on the link below: https://selfstorageincome.com/book-bonus/   **

Welcome everybody to another incredible episode here on the Cashflow 2 Freedom Podcast! As you’re aware, we absolutely love real estate here at Cashflow 2 Freedom. Today however is different - today we have one the best episodes of this podcast we’ve ever had that is centered around real estate. The reason I say this is because our guest today shares with us how he got started in real estate at 19 years old, using none of his own money, with limited initial experience, who has now built a business at 22 years old that can bring in well over $100,000 in a single month.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to get this episode out to you guys. This is one of those episodes that you need to listen to over and over and extract every ounce of value that it brings to the table for you.

Welcome back to the Cashflow 2 Freedom Podcast! Our guest for this episode has a unique and totally awesome background who has a wealth of entrepreneurial knowledge and experience. It’s an absolute pleasure to introduce you to Dr. Eric Cole. My introduction here would do little justice, so here it is right from the source - a snippet from his website secure-anchor.com: “World Renowned Cybersecurity Expert with more than 30 years of network security experience, Dr. Eric Cole is a distinguished cybersecurity expert and keynote speaker who helps organizations curtail the risk of cyber threats. Many of the foundational principles of this course and training in cybersecurity were developed by Dr. Cole. He has worked with a variety of clients ranging from Fortune 50 companies, to top international banks, to the CIA, for which he was a professional hacker. While he started his career on the offense, he is now fully dedicated to understanding the adversary so he can provide cost effective solutions that actually work. As a pioneer in the area of cybersecurity he has been inducted into the Infosec hall of Fame, awarded the Cyber Wingman Award from the US Air Force, received multiple accommodations from the CIA and was part of the commission on cybersecurity for President Obama. He has been the featured speaker at many security events and also has been interviewed by several chief media outlets such as CNN, CBS News, FOX New and 60 Minutes.” To say Dr. Cole has an impressive resume would be an understatement. As such, he brings an amazing amount of value to us on this podcast that I’m super excited to share with you guys. Throughout this episode we talk a lot about Dr. Cole’s entrepreneurial journey and the fundamentals of entrepreneurship that apply to all companies, both large and small. We talk about failing your way to success, how exactly he builds his companies and his teams to run them, and what he likes to target in markets specifically to become an industry leader in that given market. This such an awesome episode. Enjoy, take notes, and be sure to connect with Dr. Cole on his website at https://www.secure-anchor.com/ You can also keep up and connect with him on social media by simply searching his name Dr. Eric Cole.

What is going on everybody!? Welcome back to another episode of the Cashflow 2 Freedom podcast. Today, Roc and I have a special episode for you guys that I’m really excited to roll out. We all want to do great things, but how do we start? How do we get going and how do we get going on the right path to our goal of financial freedom? Whether you’re starting a business, investing, or working a career, it’s not always a clear cut path from where you’re at to where you want to be. One of the huge topics of discussion today is perspective and being able to recognize current opportunities. We give several examples of how perspective and knowing when there’s opportunity or not, can either make or break what it is that you want to execute on. Whether we like to admit it or not, understanding timing of opportunity is critical to our success or our failure. We also touch base on being able to select the correct wealth vehicles to then be able to attain our visions of success. The path and the vehicle we choose, needs to align with the goal or vision that we’ve set for ourselves. This can be more tricky than it seems a lot of times and something we dissect in the episode as well. It takes time, work, discipline and execution to get where we want to be. For most of you listening, that means being in control of your life and your finances, it means having financial freedom. It's an amazing process and one we’re excited to share with you. Thanks for listening everybody, AJ

Welcome back to the Cashflow 2 Freedom everybody! On today’s episode I have the pleasure of sitting down with real estate investor Brian Trippe. We focus in heavily on the concept and critical importance of building your network. Your network is everything - deal flow, financing, investors all come from your network. This solidifies the common theme we’ve talked about several times on the Cashflow 2 Freedom podcast, and that is that success cannot and does not happen on an island. You absolutely have to build and maintain these relationships. Everything is built on people, and we have to be able to attract the right people for your network with common core values? So how do you do this? What’s the key? It’s a great question and one that we answer in several ways in today’s podcast. These fundamentals will either make or break you, no matter what direction you choose for your life or your goals. We’ll cover these fundamentals in depth and how you can set yourself and your endeavors up for success. We also talk about the technical aspects of real estate. Brian shares what he believes will happen in the real estate market and in markets across the world in the near future with the elections coming up. Brian also shares how he is preparing for those potential events. Brain also shares his advice for those who are just starting or looking to start investing in real estate. Where should you look? What should you look for? Who should you talk to? Brian covers all of these topics and more.

Boardwalk Wealth is a private equity firm that specializes in connecting passive investors with multifamily and other commercial real estate assets. Matthew has built extensive experience surrounding all aspects of identifying and acquiring large commercial real estate assets.

This includes everything from what preferred return they offer investors, to the structure of the limited partners and general partners. He also shares with us what Boardwalk Wealth has planned for the future and what so many real estate syndicators get wrong. One of the great topics of discussion today was about relationships with those you choose to work with. It should go without saying, but you should know exactly who you’re going to be working with and who you’ll be associated with in any investment. Whether it's a stock or a real estate asset, knowing your team and those who control the deal, is critical.

Welcome back everybody to Cashflow 2 Freedom! Our awesome guest today is real estate investor Sean Pan.  Sean, who as working as an electrical engineer, decided that financial freedom sounded a lot better than being an employee. He began searching for a solution that would get him on the path to financial freedom and ultimately decided that real estate was the wealth vehicle he was going to drive. It was scalable, one could manage the risks, and there were deals to be had. After studying, going to real estate meet ups, and networking, Sean decided it was time to jump in. Using his salary from his job, he began purchasing by and hold rental properties in Florida. Living in southern California though, investing out of state was a challenge in and of itself. Sean walks us through how he found deals across the United States in Florida, how he set up a team to be able to get these deals and manage the properties afterwards, and more. We also talk about the very real importance of diversifying your investments throughout different real estate asset classes and strategies to help limit your exposure to risk. If you’re looking to get into real estate investing, this is a must listen episode. Sean shares tons of great information that can help you get on the path to achieving your financial freedom.

Hey everybody! AJ Osborne here, and welcome back to the Cashflow 2 Freedom podcast. Today we’re going to talk about control - control of your business, control of your future, control of your life. We see it all the time (especially right now with the events that COVID-19 has brought with it), business unfortunately failing. Not because they weren’t profitable, but because they didn’t have the foundations built that would allow them to thrive in any environment. It goes without saying, if you want to build a business, it is absolutely critical to build it right, and to build it right from the very beginning. The current events taking place are a the perfect case study as to why this is so important. Companies like Airbnb, We Work, and the like have taken a massive hit these past few months as the world has all but stopped turning. And not only have these companies taken a massive hit, so have the companies and individuals who utilize their services and that invested in them. But how, how can a multi-billion dollar company lose more than half its value in such a short time? How are so many other once profitable businesses failing? Because they didn’t or they don’t own the systems that allow their businesses to operate, scale, and truly succeed in any market condition. Today we’re going to talk about how you can take control of your business and your future. We talk about the importance of building a brand and truly owning the systems your business or your investments require to function. Thanks for listening guys! We’ll see you next time! AJ

Welcome everybody to Cashflow 2 Freedom! As you might know, we’ve talked quite a bit about real estate investing and the amazing benefits that it can provide to help us grow wealth and financial freedom. We’ve talked about everything from multifamily properties, to single family, to commercial, to one of my personal favorites - self storage. There’s something though that we haven’t talked a whole lot about - funding. Knowing how to fund or raise money for your real estate investments is a critical skill no matter what stage you’re at in your investment career. Our guest today is an expert in this arena and is going to share with us how he went from managing money on Wall Street, to now having $200 million of assets under management and $39 Million of capital under management. Josh shares key points with us about raising capital, working with private lenders, how he gets to know these private lenders, and so much more. You can keep in touch with Josh and all the great work he’s doing at his website: freelandventures.com Thanks for listening guys! AJ

Welcome back everybody to this episode of our Cashflow 2 Freedom 15 Minute Friday. There’s no two ways about, the times we’re living in right now are crazy, uncertain, and have a lot of us on the edge of our seats waiting to hear what’s next. There are also a lot of us using this time to think about the goals and opportunities we’ve always wanted to create for ourselves - one of those goals being the accumulation of wealth. Maybe it’s investing or maybe it’s starting your own business, but you know that creating wealth and financial freedom is your ultimate goal. But what’s the process? How do we get from point A to point B? Wealth a lot of times seems like this magic occurrence, like the wealthy in the world just woke up one day and knew exactly what to do, where to go, what to say, what product or service to create and so on. As we all truly know though, wealth is no magical occurrence, it just has to be created. How? You just have to know the game and play the game. That’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today. We go over the importance of aligning your goals and expectations with your chosen wealth vehicles, the exact process to go from idea, to testing your idea, to scaling your business, when and when not to use debt, and more. Thanks for tuning in everybody. See you next time, AJ PS. we've just created a new cheatsheet on the four steps to achieving financial freedom.  You can download it FREE by clicking this link: https://cashflow2freedom.com/cheatsheet/

What is going on everyone, welcome to Cashflow 2 Freedom! As always, we’re super excited to bring this episode to you all. We have a special guest on the show today who has been in real estate for over twenty years and now invests heavily in manufactured home communities. It’s my pleasure to welcome Kevin Bupp, CEO of Sunrise Capital Investors. Kevin got his start in real estate at the early age of nineteen by finding and working with a mentor. As you hear from most any successful individual, the importance of finding a mentor is critical. We go over exactly how Kevin built a relationship with his mentor that helped propel him to the successes he experiences today. Kevin is a wealth of knowledge across many different real estate asset classes. From owning over one hundred single family homes, to several hundred apartment doors, to commercial property and parking lots, to now owning several manufactured home communities, he’s done more than most. But it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, 2008 did a number on Kevin and it took him years to find his real estate groove again. Kevin shares the lesson learned from the financial crisis of 2008 and how that has shaped his investing today. Being that 90% of Kevin’s portfolio is manufactured home communities, we touch on this industry, why he’s chosen to invest in it, what kind of communities he looks for, and what his strategies are to buy and immediately force value. This is just the tip of the iceberg. As always, get your notes ready and learn how Kevin has built his real estate empire. Be sure to check out Kevin’s website where he has tons of awesome resources and content. And keep up to date with Kevin’s company Sunrise Capital Investors. Until next time gang! AJ

What’s going on everybody!? AJ here with another episode of Cashflow 2 Freedom and do I have an episode for you guys today. I’m joined by the one and only Ali Boone. She shares in today’s episode how she went from the textbook approach of college and career, but was redirected to real estate investing. Ali went to college and became an aerospace engineer, but knew immediately, day one, that a cubicle and the career lifestyle wasn’t going to cut it. She began looking at options and over the next five years she was able to pivot to real estate investing, specifically in turn key products. Ali goes over exactly what turn keys are, how she’s invested in them successfully, and how you can too. If investing in real estate is something you’re interested in, don’t miss this episode because it’s packed full of invaluable advice that can help you make the leap. Thanks a ton everybody, AJ

What’s going on everybody!? Welcome to Cashflow 2 Freedom. As always, I’m excited as ever to bring you another incredible episode. This time, we have the pleasure of spending some time with Damion Lupo. Damion’s personal finance and investing journey started when he was in college. His college didn’t last long however, as he was kicked out for refusing to shut down a bookstore that he had started that was putting the campus bookstore out of business. Damion obviously didn’t stop there. A huge topic of discussion throughout this podcast is taking action… massive action. Damion shares how he went from investing in one house, to investing in one hundred and fifty houses in three and a half years. The Great Recession of 2008 however hit Damion hard and forced him to look at himself and his strategies moving forward. Damion shares how success was a horrible teacher, the importance of training, studying, and building a team around yourself for what it is that you want to succeed at. A common theme here at Cashflow 2 Freedom is that you cannot build success on an island, we have to have a team and resources outside of ourselves to deploy that allow us to reach our true potentials. Going further into this episode we talk finance. We talk about retirement and how we can all diversify our investing strategies to be able to weather the ups and downs of the market. We talk about how critical financial literacy is in our journeys to financial freedom. This episode is packed full of value and actionable steps that we can all take to continue moving the needle for ourselves towards financial freedom. Get that note book out, whatever it takes, but be sure to soak up all that Damion and this episode has to offer. Thanks for listening everybody, AJ

I want to talk about an email I received from an unhappy C2F listener who didn’t like that we talked so much about macroeconomics and the effects. Before I dive into the email and go over why macroeconomics are so important, I share why we here at Cashflow 2 Freedom are so passionate about creating cashflowing assets that allow us to live financially free. I’ve shared my backstory before here on the podcast, but I know we have a lot of new listeners jumping on all the time. If you know anything about me, having financial freedom and these cashflowing assets literally saved my life and my family’s lives. That said, thank you for tuning in and being a part of Cashflow 2 Freedom. It makes me truly proud that you all are on the same path. Now… on to business. In this episode I go over the importance of macroeconomics and the truly massive impact that they can and do have on our economy and everything attached to it. Macroeconomics in short is how the government interacts with and affects the economy via monetary policy and other factors. It’s important for us to know and understand factors like macroeconomics if we truly want to be financially free, and I’ll explain exactly why in this podcast. Thanks for tuning in guys, AJ

The opportunities that come our way during downturns can be immeasurable. The current downturn we’re experiencing due to the Coronavirus is that time for opportunity.   Opportunity, however, doesn’t always present itself in the ways that we think it would. Being willing to identify these opportunities and also take action towards them can be the deciding factor between triumph and failure.   Be sure to listen in and get ready to hit the reset button. These are great times with great opportunities and we’re looking forward to the future return of our calculated choices of today.   Thanks for listening in everybody! AJ   Be sure to go to selfstorageincome.com to get your free copy of my Self Storage Playbook. This step by step playbook walks you through from start to finish - how to identify a self-storage market, how to perform due diligence, how to contact a current owner, and ultimately how to land a storage facility deal.   You can also find the Self Storage Income Podcast on:   iTunes (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1482663918)   Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/4cq4CfjFYknagGeca24g7f)   Stitcher (https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/self-storage-income)  

What’s going on everybody!? Welcome back to another episode of Cashflow 2 Freedom. The saga continues with the very real threat we’re facing right now both physically and economically in the U.S. and around the world. Governments are shutting businesses down and it’s obviously having a massive impact on those businesses and the economy. We’re going to cover these issues in this podcast. We’re going to talk about the real risks that we see in our businesses and the economy. We also get into numbers, what we’re currently experiencing in our online businesses and elsewhere. We want to give you everything we have, no sugar coating on anything. We’re going to share what concerns us about this downturn and what the future may look like for all of us. That said though, don’t fall victim to all the doom and gloom. AJ built his current empire from the ashes of the financial crisis of 2008 (and by “ashes”, yes, we mean opportunity). There is still massive opportunity to take advantage of, which is what we’re going to top this episode off with. We cover personal finance opportunities that you can leverage now to set yourself up for success when the market rises. We also talk about the very real business opportunity there is and the strategies that you can implement in your own businesses to keep you thriving during and after market downturns. Downturns will always be a part of our lives, we simply have to plan for them and be prepared for them when they happen. We want to be clear - we’re not talking about timing markets, we’re simply talking about hoping for the best, but planning for the worst. No matter what, we just have to keep moving forward. We cannot become stagnant. We just have to continue to keep moving and adapting and overcoming. Thanks for listening everybody, we’ll see you next time! P.S. - Be sure to subscribe and keep up to date with us as we continue to share what we’re seeing and experiencing first hand in our businesses, and what we’re planning for through this downturn.   ** For updates on the Covid-19 Virus, you can check out the Center for Disease Control (CDC) website to learn how to ptortect yourself and your loved ones and what to do if you get sick.  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html    

As of today the Dow is down over 3,000 points and has become one of the worst drops in market history. The cause? No, not the coronavirus, but the way in which we the people are reacting to it. We need to understand, we alone can make or break a market. The mass hysteria that we’ve seen across the U.S. is having a massive trickle down effect on the state of the market both here in the U.S. and globally. This is the discussion we’re having today on Cashflow 2 Freedom. What are we seeing in the market, what are we paying attention to? But more importantly what are we seeing and doing in our own businesses to not only limit our exposure to this downturn, but what we’re doing to take advantage of situations such as these to keep our businesses moving forward. It’s absolutely critical to keep and maintain a long term view so that you, your investments, and ultimately your future can come out on the other side still breathing, or even thriving. AJ shares what he learned in the 2008 recession that has prepared him to survive downturns like the one we’re seeing today. Roc also shares strategies he’s deploying for his online businesses to ensure their profitable - such as cutting expenses and optimizing where it really matters. We also talk about the difference between this downturn and the 2008 financial crisis. These two situations are drastically different and we’ll explain why. Thanks for tuning in everybody, keep sending me your emails and contacting me with your questions.

In today’s Cashflow 2 Freedom Fifteen Minute Friday we’re going to talk about stocks. We dive into what stocks you should be looking at and a few to stay away from - especially in this huge downturn we’re currently experiencing. AJ and Roc share some of their own personal stocks that they’re keeping an eye on. How do they decide which stocks to look at and to pursue, and which ones do they stay away from? Don’t worry, they jump into exactly what they look for and how they decide which stocks to go for and which one’s they’re staying away from. Get ready to take notes and position yourself to thrive no matter what the market is doing. Thanks everybody, AJ

Well everybody, as you know, there’s a lot going on in the financial world. The coronavirus has had a tremendous effect on both the global and U.S. markets. The future is very uncertain. But tell me this - when has the future ever been certain? It’s not, right!? This is where diversification comes into play. In this episode I share my beliefs on diversification and what it truly means in my book. I also thought this would be a great time to share my thoughts and strategies on how you can secure your financial freedom no matter if the market is up or down, no matter the uncertainty. Enter - my four steps to help you secure your financial freedom. These are concepts and strategies that I’ve deployed in downturns in the past and that I’m currently deploying today in my own investing and financial freedom model. Listen in and be sure to hedge yourself and your hard earned investments against the uncertain future. Thanks as always for listening everybody, see you next time. AJ

“I don’t want my business to grow.” No One What’s going on everybody!? AJ here with Cashflow2 Freedom. I’m really excited to get into today’s topic with you guys and to also have my trusty co-host Roc Pilon back in the house to help me cover this topic. So many of us get into business with the idea that we’re going to start this business, launch this product, and so forth, and grow our company to replace our current income, or to grow it into an empire well beyond our current income. But how do you get from A to Z? And at what point do you formulate a plan to help you scale from $1 million in sales to $100 million? And how do we break through those barriers we reach in our journey to scale? How do you make the leap from $1 million in sales to even $5 million in sales? A lot of us start out with an idea of how we think this whole process will play out, and very few of us get it right the first time. It takes years of learning, usually via the school of hard knocks to finally figure it out. It takes systems, processes, and a well executed plan - all of which must be laid in the very foundations of your business from day one. Roc and I cover all of this in today’s episode and help you figure out how to break through those barriers, how to scale, how to make your business more secure, reliable, profitable, and more importantly, how to get you working on the business and not in the business to help you get further down the path of financial freedom. We’ll see you next time, AJ PS - be sure to check out the book ‘Rocket Fuel’ https://www.amazon.com/Rocket-Fuel-Essential-Combination-Business/dp/B012HJOBRY/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=EOS+rocket+fuel&qid=1581973197&sr=8-1  

What’s going on my fellow Freedom Fighters!? I hope you’re all doing amazing and you’re out crushing things and making it happen. Man, where do I even begin… This was such an amazing, value packed episode I don’t even know where to start. First things first though, let me introduce you to Antoine Martel. A 24 year old real estate investor who before graduating high school, decided that real estate was going to be his wealth vehicle. Living in LA however, Antoine soon found out that the LA area for a beginning real estate investor was far too competitive. He spent two years learning in LA and finally made the choice that investing in LA just wasn’t going to work. Which was when he set his eyes on investment opportunities out of state. After speaking with other successful investors and learning about where and how they were investing, Antoine found out that his investment capital could go much further in markets across the country. Deciding this was the path to go, Antoine began collecting data on cities all across the U.S. and narrowed his aim on a select few cities to begin prospecting. From there, Antoine goes on to talk about how he found his very first deal, how he built out a team to manage properties out of state, how he scaled his investments into a flipping/turnkey investment business, and how and why he made the leap to investing in apartment buildings. This could not be a more perfect example of someone starting from ground zero and building out a real estate empire - an empire that allowed him the freedom and ability to recently retire his parents. This is what Cashflow 2 Freedom is all about and couldn’t be more excited to share Antoine’s story with you guys. Be sure to keep up with Antoine and all the incredible work he’s doing: Antoine's Instagram: @martelantoine  Antoine’s Book: A Millennial’s Guide to Investing in Cash Flowing Rental Properties  Until next time, AJ

A Cashflow 2 Freedom 15 Minute Friday!? Yep, you read that right - it’s about time we tackled a Fifteen Minute Friday for you guys to give you an update on everything we have going on. First and foremost - we’ve been super busy tackling opportunities. Again, we’re not just here to preach to everyone about how awesome we think we are, or how what we talk about works in theory, we’re out doing and living this every single day. That said, let’s get to it. Today I go over our storage facility expansions, current opportunities we’re looking at, and more. I talk about my brokerage firm and some exciting news I had to share with you. Not to mention the incredible amount of opportunity we have lined up for this coming year. It’s a super packed 15 Minute Friday but also made time to cover some fundamentals of investing and entrepreneurship and the incredible freedom that you can gain from it. See you next time everybody! AJ

What’s up everybody!? I know it’s been a little bit since my last episode, but please bear with me. I’ve been traveling a lot this past month to speaking engagements and conferences, which is great, but I’m excited to spend some time with you and get another episode out to you all. Today I want to talk about value. Not just the concept of value, but what value is in the marketplace and the economy - not only that, but how you can capitalize on it. Value is constructed from two sides - returns and risk. Applying this concept to business or investing - think of the returns as controllable factors and risk as uncontrollable factors. Controllable factors are things like management, offerings, services, revenue stream diversity, advertising/marketing, branding, and so forth. You can make management more efficient, effective. You can formulate and bring to market new products and services. You can change your advertising or marketing strategy to increase sales or brand awareness. Uncontrollable factors would be things like supply and demand, the state of the market, capital pricing, etc. No matter how hard you try, generally, you cannot control or affect these aspects. However, I use my own software company as an example in this episode and share how we used controllable factors to help offset uncontrollable factors such as these. Being that we generally cannot control the risks, we need to look at business models that allow us to increase returns while also limiting or lowering the risk (this is exactly why I got into self storage investing). Whatever your endeavor, you need to ensure that your controllable factors far outweigh your uncontrollable factors. Thanks so much for listening everyone, I really appreciate all of you. See you soon. AJ

He'll share with you useful trends like, 'Surban' developments and 'build to rent.' For those of you who have thought about investing in real estate, specifically multifamily assets… this episode is for you and an absolute must listen.  I had the pleasure of spending some time with Neal Bawa who like a lot of investors, started investing in single family homes.  After numerous single family home deals, Neal decided to make the leap from single family investing to multifamily investing.  In this episode Neal shares how he finds deals, what he looks for and how to spot opportunity even when everyone is telling you you’re crazy, how to create opportunity instead of waiting for it, how to increase occupancy and value, what makes a good market, and so much more.  One of the biggest takeaways from this episode however, is how Neal has used a repeatable business model to create and sustain cashflows over and over again completely independent of market fluctuations.  If you or anyone you know is even thinking about real estate investing or investing specifically in multifamily property, you have to listen to this. Be sure to take notes and even go back and listen to this episode a second or third time to truly draw all the great value Neal provided.  Keep up with Neal or get in touch with him on his website at:  multifamilyu.com   I hope you guys are all doing amazing, thanks a ton as always for your support.

Well everybody, it’s brand new year and a brand-new decade. What does that mean? Pretty much the same thing it means every New Year – people set goals and take up new resolutions. But what’s the biggest issue people have with New Year’s resolutions? Yep, you got it – the issue is people not following through with them and therefor not achieving them.  This is what I want to talk about in today’s episode of Cashflow 2 Freed – how to identify, plan, and organize your goals in a way that empowers you to not only achieve your goals, but to live your life by them.  Goals should be looked at as a lifestyle choice that are long lasting, that you do simply because you love to do them, or you love the result that it creates. But that’s a huge thought right!? How in the world can you possibly set such huge goals and actually achieve them?  It all comes down to planning and execution and that’s exactly what I’m going to share with you guys today. I want to share a process with you that will help you that will again, help you to identify, plan, and organize your goals, but it will also help you a huge way to figure out the exact steps you need to take and the execution of those steps.  This episode is full of value on how to get from A-Z but some great take-aways here are: To gain knowledge, both about yourself and what it is you truly want to do.  The importance of surrounding yourself with people who believe your vision, are invested in it, and who also have long term visions. Being willing to change and adapt your approach, your path, your ideas, and everything in between that are necessary for you to accomplish your big over-all vision.  Get at me on social media and let me know what your big goals are for this New Year and what your big goals are for your life!   Until next time, AJ   How to look at your goals as lifestyle choices that are long lasting, that you do because you love to do them.  This same idea applies to start-ups.  Identify a need in the market, don’t just follow your passion.  Balance between humility and understanding with drive and confidence.  Gain knowledge to gain humility  Economic success is a function of how much you give, not how much you get.  Your goals need to be about building infrastructure to deliver value.  Two sides or kinds of people to creating and executing a plan, they have to work with one another:  smart goals (small measurable) Dream big (huge strong) Don’t change your overall vision – be willing to change your path to reach that overall vision is key First step to understanding your big overall goal and how to get there by breaking it down to small, actionable and measurable steps.  The importance of surrounding yourself with people who also have a long term vison with you and your goals How to get from A-Z and stay on track You need to have tons of reflection time when figuring out your big vision/goal. Know what YOU want. 

Hey everybody! I know, I know… it’s been a while since we’ve done a Cashflow 2 Freedom Fifteen Minute Friday. With the New Year, there were a few things I wanted to cover and share with you.  I’m not really about New Year’s resolutions, but I do take time to reflect on the prior year and plan for the big changes I need to make to continue learning and growing.  So what am I focused on this year?  It’s simple – tactics, strategies, and changes that are going to propel me and my overall goals into the future.  I don’t remember where I saw it or who said it but a quote I came across has stuck with me for years and it went something like this: “Successful companies are not the biggest, not the smartest, they are the companies willing to change.” This doesn’t mean you should, or that you have to change your overall goal for your life. It simply recognizes the fact that everything in the world is constantly moving, constantly changing, and that we have to be able to change and adapt if we truly want to grow and accomplish our true potential.  So what big thing am I doing specifically to continue to change and grow this year?  I’m starting another company that will drive me and my investment goals forward that’s going to move the needle in a serious way. I talk about this company, what it is, and what my plans are for it.  I also dive into a few other topics such as:  A brief market overview of this crazy bull market we’ve experienced over the past decade, how monetary policy controls the market, how to stop inflation, and the importance of diversification across asset classes.  I talk about my own sources of wealth, my revenue streams and how I’ve chosen to diversify them, and I also share the one and only place where I use debt and what my exact debt ratio is.  If you haven’t already, subscribe and leave a review.    See you next time everybody, -AJ

From being paralyzed by a rare disease to living every minute of life. AJ's story of a near-death experience is not to be missed. Sometimes, freedom is just a state of mind.  Over two years ago out of the blue, my legs stopped working. Within days the rest of my body stopped working. I was hooked up to tubes to survive. I couldn't move, eat, talk or breathe.  This is my story. It's not pretty, fun, exciting, or motivating. I just wanted to tell it like it really was. Horrifying. I did my best. I worked every day to survive. I didn't give up (even tho at times I wanted to die).  I was trapped in my head. Unable to communicate. Unable to tell others the unbelievable pain I was in. It's heavy but I didn't want to church it up. I wanted to give it to you how it really was.
