Amplified Impact Podcast with Anthony Vicino

Today, I want to dive into a topic that I've covered before, but it's one that keeps popping up, so I figured it's worth revisiting. It's that one question I get asked so often…the ever-elusive morning routine.I'm always curious about what successful people do in the mornings. Is it a variation of the famed "miracle morning" by Hal Elrod, or do they have a completely different approach? Do they even follow a morning routine? We've all heard the saying that winning the morning means winning the day, and when I embarked on my own journey of personal growth and success, everyone emphasized the importance of starting with a structured morning routine. I fell into the trap of believing that I needed a meticulously planned morning checklist to set myself up for success, mentally and physically.But here's the thing…it became a double-edged sword. Some days, life just happens. Sometimes, despite our best intentions, we miss our wake-up time or fail to check all the boxes on our morning routine checklist. And when that happened to me, I felt like the entire day was ruined. I believed that if I didn't win the morning, I'd lose the day. It became a source of frustration and stress.I had to eventually pivot away from that fragile system I’d made for myself and learn how to tweak things around to make way for something better.And so, if you find yourself in a morning routine that does more harm than good, then maybe it’s time to change things up.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, I'm gonna spill the beans on three kickass frameworks that I stole from Nike and used to build not one…but TWO eight-figure businesses. These babies are game-changers, and trust me…you won't hear about them everywhere else. First up, we've got the initiative. Picture this: in chess, it's not just about having a bigger….badder army.It's all about who's calling the shots, who's dictating the action. That's right, my friends, it's the initiative that counts.Next on our list is a framework straight out of Nike's playbook: "More MacGyver, less Batman." You know what that means? It's time to channel your inner MacGyver and get resourceful. Living off the land doesn't mean you need more dough. Nah, it's about using what you've got in clever, unconventional ways.Last but not least, let's talk systems and keeping it simple. The real winners know that simplicity is the key to success. Sometimes, all you need is a good ol' notebook with a kickass to-do list. It might not look fancy, but what matters is that it gets the job done.There you have it...three frameworks that have been my secret weapons in building two eight-figure companies. And I know they can work wonders for you too, whether you're hustling in business or rocking it in your personal life.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

In this episode, I delve into five habits that I believe are worth mastering. These habits may be different from the ones you usually hear about…but I find them to be unique and valuable. I've become increasingly convinced that habits are incredibly powerful and play a crucial role in our lives. As civilization progresses…our ability to complete tasks without conscious effort is what drives us forward.Think about our hunter-gatherer ancestors who had to constantly think about where their next meal would come from. Nowadays, we have systems in place, like restaurants and grocery stores, that allow us to access food without much thought. This frees up our cognitive bandwidth to explore other areas of life. The same principle applies on a personal level. The more tasks we can habitualize, the more mental energy we have to pursue self-actualization.These five power-packed habits that I’ll be sharing? They're your keys to personal growth and success. Nail 'em, and you'll supercharge your interactions, skyrocket your productivity, and handle life's curveballs like a champ.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, I dive into the concept of "less is more" and share my personal journey as a writer. Inspired by a quote from Rick Rubin, I discuss the idea that to achieve excellence and do less but better, we often have to put in more effort initially. There was a pivotal moment in my life when I realized I needed to provide for my future wife and decided to pursue writing as a career. Remembering my father's belief in my writing abilities…I committed to writing 3,000 words every day for a year, aiming to reach a million words and improve my skills. Through this process, I discovered that good writing is rewriting and great writing is concise writing, as exemplified by the significant word reduction during the editing phase. I emphasize the importance of quantity in the early stages of any creative endeavor…as it eventually leads to quality. As we progress, we can shift our focus to doing less but better, honing our craft and delivering high-quality output. The ultimate goal is to reach a point where we can combine both quantity and quality, achieving mastery in our chosen pursuit. For me, doing less but better extends beyond work and encompasses prioritizing activities that align with my goals and bring fulfillment. I encourage you to reflect on your own journeys and find the balance that ultimately works for you.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Get ready for a wild ride as I spill the beans on my investing, coaching, and online course journey. So here's the deal…I made a rookie mistake early on. I focused too much on innovation before mastering the basics. Sound familiar?Let me break it down with a guitar story. I ignored my instructor's grip advice, thinking I knew better. Big mistake. It led to wrist pain and zero progress. Lesson learned…trust the system being taught, especially when you're a beginner.Truth is replication beats innovation at the start…Picasso and Bob Dylan didn't become legends overnight. They spent years replicating masters before finding their unique style. Same goes for any system in business, fitness, or whatever field you're in.Forget the idea that you need to be unique all the time…most of us overestimate our uniqueness and underestimate established systems. Any system, when followed precisely, can yield great results. Master the fundamentals first, then adapt later. Approach learning with a beginner's mindset. So, leave your ego and past experiences behind. Embrace established systems, replicate them, and watch the magic happen.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

So, you've been listening for a while and you're all pumped up about starting your own business. But here's the thing…you're kinda freaking out because you're not sure if your ideas are any good. Will they actually work? Will they be a waste of time? Trust me, I've been there too.Here's the deal: a lot of people get stuck in this phase of overthinking. Here's the secret sauce: any idea can be great if you execute it well. But you gotta pick one and go all-in. Entrepreneurship is tough, and the odds of success are low. But guess what? Failure is part of the game. My first few businesses? Total disasters. But those failures taught me valuable lessons that eventually led to success.The only way to know if your idea rocks is by getting out there and finding customers. If people are willing to pay for what you're offering, then you're onto something.So ditch the perfect business plan and fancy branding. The customer is what matters.

From racing rally cars in Austin, Texas with an entrepreneur mastermind to embarking on a couples retreat in Ireland with my life partner Jamie…it's been a rollercoaster of experiences and deep introspection. As I sip on Pedialite to recover from a recent stomach virus…I reflect on the recurring theme that has emerged from all these encounters: the importance of goal setting and future casting.Often, we begin moving without direction, only to find ourselves far from where we truly want to be. So, I want to introduce this mind-blowing concept called "in one year." Picture yourself a year from today. What's changed? What's the same? It's like peeking into the crystal ball of your future self.But here's the secret sauce: every decision you make today shapes that future self. It's all about the books you read, the habits you rock, the squad you roll with, and the investments you make. They all add up….like building blocks to your ultimate self. So be intentional.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, we're diving into the thrilling world of content creation.Legendary creators like Tim Ferriss and Joe Rogan have built their businesses through storytelling and providing value. These guys have built their empires through captivating storytelling and delivering immense value to their listeners. I have so much respect for these content creators because they understand that each and every one of us has a unique perspective and an extraordinary tale to tell. But let's face it…being a content creator isn't easy. From shouting into the void to overcoming disappointments, I've been there too. Pouring your heart and soul into your content, only to be met with silence, can be downright disheartening. Believe me, I've been there, and I'm still in the trenches. But you know what? I firmly believe that each and every one of you listening to this podcast has the potential to thrive as a content creator.But here's the key: you can't win unless you start, and you can't lose unless you quit. Success takes time, so keep creating and stay focused. LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, I want to share a major revelation that hit me like a ton of bricks. I had always believed in a particular concept that I thought was rock solid and foundational to my brand. But recently…I was writing an article for the Hyperfocused Entrepreneur Newsletter and something magical happened. As I was penning my thoughts, I realized that I had been wrong all along.Now, this wasn't just any old realization. It was the kind that rocked my world, the kind that forced me to take a long, hard look at my beliefs and values. And let me tell you…it was both exhilarating and terrifying. But I was determined to share my newfound insight with all of you.And here's the kicker, folks. The ability to change your mind is a superpower. Being open to new ideas and perspectives…even if they go against everything you've ever believed, is what sets us apart from the rest of the pack. And let me tell you, I got a firsthand look at this superpower in action when I learned about Steve Jobs.Steve was a maniac when it came to finding the right answer. He didn't care where the idea came from, as long as it was the right one. Steve didn't dig his heels in and refuse to budge. Nope, he did a complete 180 and changed his mind. That, my friends, is a superpower.So, are you ready to learn what I changed my mind about? LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Recently, I made a poll asking: Would you rather have a million dollars today or the skills of a billionaire in five years? It's a loaded question, and to me, the answer is obvious…you have to go for the skills. Let me tell you why.Money is never the solution to all our problems. It can depreciate, be stolen, and even become devalued over time. On the other hand, having the skills, knowledge, resources, and ability to make money will never leave you wanting. However, I was surprised to find that 30% of my audience chose the million dollars. Many argued that it could improve the quality of their lives, help them acquire skills and invest for retirement. While these things may be true, in my experience, things that are given without having been earned tend to leave us easily.Think about the lottery. Reports suggest that 70% of people who win the lottery will go bankrupt within only a few short years. That's a massive majority of people. My question is…what makes you think you are the exception? If we don't yet have the skills or the ability to make a million dollars, chances are….we won't know how to use it properly if it's just handed to us.Now, I'm not saying that everyone who chooses the million dollars will lose it. There's a chance that some of my listeners are the 30% who can make it work. But the point is, you have to be honest with yourself and know where you stand. Ultimately, my message is clear: choose the skills, and you'll never want for money in your life.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, I've got something truly remarkable to share with you. I recently stumbled upon a book that has completely blown my mind. It's called "Make Something Wonderful" and it's filled with the wisdom and insights of none other than Steve Jobs himself!Steve Jobs was a master at his craft, and he believed that one of the best ways to express appreciation to humanity was by creating something wonderful. And let me tell you, after reading this book, I couldn't agree more.As an entrepreneur and content creator, I strive to create meaningful content that positively impacts the lives of others. And that's exactly what Steve Jobs did with his creations. He put all of his care and love into making something wonderful, and in doing so, he left a legacy that continues to inspire us today.So if you're looking for a dose of inspiration, if you're looking to take your creations to the next level, then you need to get your hands on this book. It's a love note to humanity, a reminder that we all have the power to make something wonderful, and that by doing so, we can change the world. Let's make it happen!LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

I'm about to share with you something that I've noticed recently in the people around me…the successful people. And let me tell you, these people are crushing it in their relationships, their business, their finances, and their health. So, what's their secret? Well, I've been observing them closely, and I've noticed that they all have one thing in common: they have a laser-focused, goal-oriented mindset. That's right, folks, they know exactly what they want, and they're going after it with everything they've got. And let me tell you, it's working.Now, I know what you're thinking. "But Anthony, aren't successful people supposed to focus on the process, not the results?" Yes, that's true, my friend. But here's the thing - these successful people still have an outcome in mind. They know where they want to go, and they're working towards it every single day. They're not just aimlessly wandering through life, hoping to stumble upon success. They're actively pursuing it with everything they've got.And here's the kicker, folks - you can do it too. But first, you need to define what winning looks like for you…because the only way to win the game of life is to know what winning looks like in the first place. And with the right mindset and the drive to succeed, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.The world is yours for the taking, so what are you waiting for?LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

I recently tweeted about video games and the responses I got were intense.So in my tweet, I mentioned porn, junk food, and video games, and I said that there's no such thing as cheap dopamine…you don't realize the true cost you're paying. And while most people can agree the other two aren't great, there are a lot of folks out there who are convinced that video games are harmless. But let me tell you, I've played my fair share of video games in my life. I grew up with the Internet and I was playing video games before they were cool. I'm talking original StarCraft and Diablo.But here's the thing…for me, video games became an addiction. I would spend 15 hours a day playing and it was ruining my life. So I had to cut video games out of my life completely to get away from that addiction. Now, I know not everyone has the same experience as me, and that's totally fine. Some people can play video games for 30 minutes a day and be totally productive in other areas of their lives. But even if you're only playing a little bit, there are hidden costs that you're paying for that cheap dopamine hit.Even if you think you're being totally productive and functional in other areas of your life, these costs are still impacting you more than you realize. And remember, I'm not saying you should never play video games again. I just want to start a conversation about the true costs of our recreational activities.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

I'm gonna drop some serious knowledge on you about this cool psychological principle called the Zygarnic Effect. So here's the deal: the Zygarnic Effect kicks in when you get interrupted in the middle of a task and can't finish it. It creates an open cognitive loop in your brain that's like having a gazillion tabs open on your computer browser.It sucks up your mental bandwidth, making it hard to remember stuff, retain information, and focus on what you need to do. Sound familiar?But here's the kicker: we can totally use this to our advantage with a little thing called intention. Most of us fall victim to it when we get interrupted by our boss, phone, or email and end up scrolling through social media instead of going back to what we were doing. It's like a vicious cycle, man.But I've got a trick for you….when I started writing sci-fi and fantasy novels, I used this strategy where I'd stop writing in the middle of a sentence, just like Hemingway did. It's crazy, I know, but it works like magic. Your brain can't let go of that sentence and keeps circling back to it, churning out ideas and solutions.And when you come back to it the next day…you've got momentum and ideas flowing like crazy.If you want to be a productivity ninja and crush your to-do list, you need to harness the power of the Zygarnic Effect. Use intention to your advantage, close those cognitive loops, and watch your brainpower soar. Trust me, you'll thank me later.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, I'm stoked to share with you the three-part framework that helped us raise a whopping $25 million at Invictus Capital. And let me tell you…this simple process has worked wonders for all my other businesses too.Now, this three-step process is all about getting inside your consumers' heads and selling them on your product or service before they even open their wallets. I've run all sorts of businesses in my time, from a window washing company to a manufacturing company that produced rock climbing holds. And while the price range for these businesses varied wildly, there was always one thing that remained the same: we had to sell our customers on the benefits of our products before they were willing to part with their hard-earned cash.But it wasn't until I started Invictus Capital, our real estate private equity company, that I really had to fine-tune this process. We were bringing in passive investors for large apartment complex deals, which meant we had to raise massive amounts of capital…think $10, $15 million. And let me tell you, convincing someone to invest $80,000 or more is no easy feat, even if they're wealthy. So, we spent a lot of time figuring out how to sell them on the vehicle, ourselves as the pilot, and the deal itself...the destination, if you will.So, buckle up and get ready to learn how to sell the sizzle, not just the steak, and take your business to the next level.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, I'm super pumped to talk about a sneaky trait that I've noticed in so many successful people that the rest of us seem to be lacking. Crazy, right? Most of us go through life looking for confirmation of our beliefs and ideas, trying to prove that we're right all the time. Think about it, we tune into the same news channels, we friend people on social media who share our views, and we block the ones that don't. We're living in echo chambers.But the ones that win…they're not afraid to change their minds when new facts come to light. They're not afraid to say, "Hey, I was wrong about that, let me look at it from a different perspective."And let me tell you, I've struggled with this myself for a long time, but ever since I got on the personal development train, this has been something that I've had to work on constantly. And it's not just about being successful in your career, this trait permeates all aspects of your life. So, are you willing to look for reasons why you're wrong? Are you willing to challenge your beliefs and opinions?LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, I'm talking about something that's been on my mind a lot lately: falling into the dopamine trap. It's something we've all done, whether we realize it or not. You know those cheap dopamine hits like junk food, porn, Netflix, video games, smoking, drinking? Yeah, those. They make you feel good for a little while, but then they wear off and you're left feeling like a sad sack.But here's the thing: those cheap dopamine hits aren't really cheap. They end up costing you more than you think…and the worst part is that the bill doesn't come due until years down the road when it's too late to do anything about it.The problem is that it's hard to think about the future. Future you is a problem for, well, future you. But the actions you take now are going to determine who you are down the road. Now, I know it's easier said than done. It's so much easier to give in to that instant gratification, to eat that pizza or watch that Netflix show. But the truth is…easy choices lead to a hard life. Hard choices lead to an easy life. It's a simple concept, but it's so true.So you gotta ask yourself: do you wanna be the person who's always chasing the next cheap dopamine hit, or do you wanna be the person who's taking care of themselves and their future?LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

A long time ago, I found myself in a pretty bad spot. Life was not going my way, and I was deep in debt with a recent breakup. But I refused to let my circumstances dictate my future. I knew I had to take control of my life and start making some changes.One of the concepts that helped me turn things around was the four spheres of influence. And today, we're going to dive deep into one of those spheres, exercise. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Exercise? Yawn." But trust me, this is not your typical "go to the gym and lift some weights" kind of episode. We're going to break down the three levers that can change your life: endurance, VO2 max, strength, and stability.We're talking about getting in the best shape of your life, living a long and healthy life, and feeling incredible every single day.

I'm going to talk about some seriously bad advice I came across on the internet. The advice came from a guy I follow on social media who has hundreds of thousands of followers. While I usually like his content, this piece of advice was a real bummer.Basically, the advice said that if you have to force yourself to create something, you should go create something else. At first glance, this might sound like good advice…after all, if you're struggling to create something, maybe it's just not for you, right?Wrong. Creating anything…whether it's a book, a painting, a video, or anything else…is always difficult. And if you go into it with the expectation that it should feel easy, you're setting yourself up for failure.The truth is, the best creators, artists, and designers know that creating is always going to be difficult. They don't expect it to be easy, and they don't give up when it gets hard…I used to be like this too. But the truth is, if you want to create something great, you have to be willing to put in the work. It's not going to be easy, but that's okay.If you're struggling to create something…keep pushing through, even when it's hard. Remember that creating is always going to be a challenge, but that's what makes it so rewarding when you finally succeed.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

In this episode, I'll be sharing three habits that I battle against in my own life and how you can overcome them too.First up, falling into the comparison trap. This is the number one habit I would remove from your life if I could. We all fall into this trap….comparing ourselves to others and feeling discontent with where we are. The gap between where you are and where you want to be is always infinite, so you'll never close it. But the truth is, if you focus on where you came from and where you are now, you'll realize that you're doing pretty well.The second habit is negative self-talk. We all have that voice inside our heads that tells us we're not good enough, smart enough, or talented enough. But guess what? That voice is lying to you! It's time to interrupt that pattern…you are capable of achieving great things, so start believing it.Last but not least, the third one is procrastination which leads to a lot of stress and anxiety.

Hey folks, it's time for an exciting story about my buddy Renee Rodriguez, the public speaking extraordinaire who decided to do the unthinkable: delete his Instagram account and start over from scratch.I know, I know, you're probably thinking "What?! Is he crazy?" But hear me out. Renee had a bunch of followers on his old account, but the majority of them were fake accounts and spammy bot responses. He had apparently bought followers in the past (bad move, guys!), and it was starting to hurt his credibility.So, Renee said "adios" to his old account and started fresh. And guess what? In just six months, he gained over 100,000 subscribers on his new account…that's TEN TIMES more than before!The moral of the story is simple, folks. Sometimes you gotta take a step back to take two steps forward. Scaling the mountain of success can be tough, and sometimes you need to go down before you can go up again. It's not easy…but it's necessary if you want to achieve greater success in the long run. LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, I want to talk about one of my favorite frameworks that I learned from Nicholas Naseem Tilleb, which is called Via Negativa. It’s a framework that helps you figure out what you need to stop doing to achieve your goals. Instead of asking what positive actions you need to take...you ask yourself what an absolutely horrible life would look like. This helps you identify the negative aspects of your life that you need to get rid of. It could be anything from a bad relationship to unhealthy habits...like eating too many calories. And here's the kicker: progress in life is often less about doing new things and more about removing things that are holding you back. So, if you want to achieve your goals, start by identifying the top three things that you need to remove from your life. Take some time, sit down, and try this framework out. You won't regret it.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

So, today, I wanted to take a moment to apologize for the tech problems we've been having. You all know we're committed to putting out an episode every day, but man…it's been a struggle! I wanted to give you a peek behind the curtain and explain what's been going on behind the scenes.I've got some big goals for this podcast, and getting it out there every day is just one of them. But let me tell you, coordinating a team to make that happen is no joke. And unfortunately, we had some serious miscommunications with one of our editors, which led to some major hiccups in our systems and processes. Turns out the damage was worse than we thought - we ended up repeating some old episodes by accident!I go into all the details on the episode, but the bottom line is this: we're working super hard to fix things and get back on track. We're totally committed to bringing you the best possible content, and we're not gonna let these technical difficulties get in the way. So stay tuned, and thanks for sticking with us!LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today I'm gonna talk about something that really grinds my gears…the difference between giving constructive criticism and being a total jerk. So…let me tell you about this comment I received that was totally unnecessarily abrasive. It made me realize that there's a way to give feedback without being rude. You know what I mean?It's important to be cool to each other and enter into constructive discourse, instead of being mean and tearing people down. Cancel culture and woke culture? They aren’t conducive to intelligent discourse. In fact…they silence people from engaging in conversation.So, my message to all of you listeners out there is this - be self-aware and understand how you're perceived by others, so you can make the most out of your interactions with people. Let's all try to bring out the best in each other, shall we?LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

I recently received a question from a guy on YouTube asking which is better: earning a million dollars a year from a business that doesn't add value to the world, or earning a hundred thousand dollars a year from a cool job. This question only has one answer for me, but it's going to be different for everyone. For me...it's to make a ton of money doing something boring because money allows me to buy back my time, and that's the only value that money has. So, the more money I make…the more time I can buy back. The misnomer here is that people assume that working a job that you're not passionate about means that you'll hate what you do. I find a lot of passion in the process, even if I'm not passionate about the product I'm selling. Whether you're on a mission to earn a million dollars or find your dream job, it’s good to understand the “why” of what you’re doing.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

In this episode, I will be spilling the tea on the unsexy truth about doing the work that no one else will tell you. Sure, everyone talks about success, entrepreneurship, investing, and greatness, but let's be real...the daily grind that gets you there is often mind-numbingly boring. But hey, I'm not just saying this...I learned it the hard way! When I left my manufacturing company, Escape Climbing, to start my real estate private equity firm, Invictus Capital, I had no personal brand or digital presence. It felt like starting over from scratch! But guess what? Building a personal brand through content creation isn't just for short-term monetization....it's all about the long game. I want to have a track record that people can look to when I start a new venture so I don't have to start from square one every time. It's a brilliant strategy, folks, and I truly believe it can help others achieve success. So buckle up and get ready to hear the real talk on doing the daily work that pays off big time.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, I had the privilege of chatting with one of my most badass students, Wyatt. He's in his mid-twenties and has already built a successful real estate business with over $15 million in assets. But he's ready to expand his personal brand and start building out some sales funnels. And that's where we got on the topic of social media. The thing is, so many people have access to infinite free distribution that these social media platforms enable us to have…but so few people are actually taking advantage of it. And that's because many of us struggle with imposter syndrome…feeling like we don't have any value to add or what gives us the right to share our story. But the truth is, regardless of where you are on your journey, you're likely to always feel like an imposter. Even with hundreds of thousands of subscribers on YouTube and successful businesses, I wake up every day and muddle through it. But the thing is, your self-esteem is a reputation that you have with yourself. So it's better to go and live in alignment with the person you're trying to become and own your strengths, weaknesses, and shortcomings.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today I want to share with you my recent experience at the Best Ever Conference in Salt Lake City. Now, I know some of you might be thinking, "Oh, another real estate conference, big deal." But I have to tell you, this one was different. It provided a perspective that I had forgotten these types of events can give you. As someone who operates a real estate company in a very insular way, attending this conference allowed me to gain valuable insights into what's happening macroeconomically in other markets.And it's not just about real estate or investing. I truly believe that attending conferences and networking events can provide value in any industry, especially for those just starting out or looking to expose themselves to different viewpoints. The Best Ever Conference reminded me of the importance of keeping my finger on the pulse of the industry, even when things are going well.So, if you have the opportunity to attend a conference or networking event in your industry, I highly recommend it. You never know what valuable insights and perspectives you might gain.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Let's talk about magic. I've been reading this absolutely bizarre book, and I just can't wait to tell you all about it. It's a book on magic, but not the kind of magic you're thinking of - we're talking about sleight of hand magic, baby! And let me tell you, it's blowing my mind.It's fascinating how skilled magicians can make objects disappear and manipulate their audience. But it's not just the technical side that's captivating - it's the showmanship, the way they captivate their audience with their words and mannerisms. I'm also delving into the world of stand-up comedy and improv, because let's face it, who doesn't love a good laugh?But I'll be honest with you, I'm a little scared to try my hand at stand-up comedy, but that fear is telling me that I need to go for it. Because if we let fear dictate our lives, we'll never grow or push ourselves out of our comfort zones. And trust me, the payoff is always worth it.Life's too short to play it safe.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, I'm excited to share with you a conversation I had with one of my coaching clients who's been struggling with cold DMs, emails, and calls. He was having a tough time getting people to respond, let alone convert into paying customers. But fear not, because in a previous newsletter, I laid out a playbook that shows how to go from a low-paying job to a million-dollar business in just three to five years. One of the key strategies is to develop a high-value skill and find prospects to deliver that value to..and one way to do that is through cold outreach. Now, we all know that cold outreach can work, but it's not easy. Most people underestimate the number of people they need to reach out to before they start seeing results. When I started my window washing business, I had to knock on hundreds of doors to get just two yeses. But those two yeses turned into referrals…and that's how we grew the business. So, the key is to get your foot in the door and deliver excellent value, which can lead to more referrals down the road. Take the time to build relationships and understand your prospects' needs before pitching your solution. And always remember, it's a numbers game, so keep at it and don't give up!LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, we're gonna dive into the most powerful and the worst word in the world. And let me tell you, these words can make or break your journey towards greatness. But before we get into all that, we need to understand how our brain learns and encodes information. It's pretty fascinating stuff, actually. We've got billions and trillions of neurons in our brain that light up every time we have a thought or react to stimuli. These little guys create neuronal pathways that help us learn and remember things. And the more we have a particular thought…the more efficient and effective these pathways become. Think about it like this: the first time you meet someone named David, your brain creates a new pathway to remember his name. And the more you meet him or other people with the same name, the easier it becomes to recall that pathway. It's like going to a friend's house in a new neighborhood. The first time it might be a bit tricky…but the more you visit, the more efficient and automatic the route becomes. And that's why repetition is key when it comes to learning new things. The words we use when we speak to ourselves and others matter a lot, and understanding the neurobiology behind it can help us use these words to our advantage.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

There are a ton of misconceptions about what wealthy people do with their money. I recently heard someone say that they don't obsessively check their accounts every day…but that's not true. I do it, and so do many other wealthy people. Checking your finances daily might not seem healthy, but it's important. In fact, it helped me transform my relationship with money over a decade ago. See, I used to be in a really bad place financially. I was accumulating more and more debt, and I was so anxious about checking my checking account that I just stopped doing it altogether. But then I started using a financial daily planner… and that changed the game for me. Every single day, I do an audit of my finances. It's a really quick process, and it's the first thing I do in the morning. I sit down with my laptop and my journal, and I go through everything. And let me tell you, it's been a game-changer. So if you're struggling with your finances, I encourage you to give it a try. The more you measure your finances, the more in tune you'll be, and the faster you'll turn your finances around. Trust me, it's worth it.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

In this episode, I'm going to share with you an important daily reminder that's been on my mind lately. It's something I struggle with every day in my pursuit of doing more and more. It's so easy to fill our to-do list with meaningless tasks that make us feel good when we check them off…but don't really move us towards our goals. But being busy isn't the same as being effective…I learned that I need to pursue less but better, to be intentional about identifying key projects or levers that will pay the biggest dividends. Today, I want you to look at your to-do list and ask yourself…what is the most important thing. Is it getting the time and attention it deserves? Are you allocating enough time and resources to it? It's easy to get lost in the busy work and forget what really matters. So take a moment to identify the most important thing on your list and make sure it gets the attention it deserves. Remember, success isn't about how much you get done, it's about what you get done.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Let's talk about how to build a successful business and invest in real estate. I used to think tactics were the key to success…but boy was I wrong. Turns out, the right mindset is essential to executing any strategy, whether it's building a business, investing in real estate, or personal development. Without the right mindset, those tactics and strategies won't get you far. Don't believe me? I got started in real estate with a low credit score of 600 and an FHA loan. The loan product I got was designed for people like me, with low credit scores, and first-time homebuyers. With an FHA loan, I only had to bring around $7,500 to closing, which is not a big hurdle for most people to hit with a year or two of dedicated effort. So don't let excuses hold you back. Focus on your mindset and the rest will fall into place.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today, I'm going to talk about the importance of learning the language of business.During my recent trip to Antarctica… I couldn't help but think about language and communication, especially as I traveled to a Spanish-speaking country. This got me thinking about the language of business and how crucial it is to understand it. The language of business is finance, money, and numbers, and without knowing it, you'll struggle to play the game of business. Many people believe they can hire a translator or delegate this aspect of their business, but this can leave them vulnerable to deceit, confusion, and other risks. So, it's essential to learn the language of business and become fluent in finance. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a manager, or an employee, understanding finance and money is critical to success.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today I want to share a simple truth with you all. I find this to be one of the most simple truths, yet so profound and helpful when navigating through the world. Bad decisions compound faster than good decisions.If you’ve spent any time researching investing, you’re more than likely familiar with the concept of compounding interest. This idea, this concept… applies to more than just investing. It applies to the decisions you make in life. And just as a bad debt has higher interest rates… bad decisions do as well.

In today's episode, I want to confess something: I used to have a bit of a reading problem. I would read hundreds of books a year, just to feel productive and gather knowledge… But over time, I realized that it's not a lack of information that holds us back in life, it's a lack of execution. We can easily fall into the trap of feeling productive when we're just gathering information, instead of taking action. I want to share with you the importance of maintaining a healthy ratio between doing and learning, and why it's crucial if you want to make progress towards your goals.

I wanted to share something that really hit home for me the other day. I tweeted that the person you'll be next year depends on the books you read, the actions you take, the habits you execute, the network you cultivate, and the investments you make. Most importantly…it's about consistently showing up and doing the work. We have the power to grow and become more than what we currently are. If you're not where you want to be in life…remember that you are living in a world of your own making.

Today I wanted to talk about something that's been on my mind lately. As content creators or entrepreneurs, we all face the reality of dealing with haters. They might not say it outright, but they can still hold us back with their subtle, passive-aggressive comments. But here's the thing, if we let the haters get to us, they win… We can't let them stop us from pursuing our dreams and reaching our full potential. It's natural to feel hurt and discouraged when faced with negativity, but we have to remember that our purpose in life is greater than the hate we feel. As Brad Pitt said in Bullet Train…”hurt people hurt people", and I truly believe that. How are you dealing with haters right now?LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

I want to take you behind the scenes today. I want to take you through our process when making a YouTube video. Now, this might not be of interest to some of you, but it could be fascinating to others… I know for myself as a creator, I love getting a sneak peek under the hood of how others run their content creation machine. As you know, my personal YouTube channel has grown over 125,000 subscribers in just about 6 months. And the key to this growth has come from this process that we have now honed. So, here’s that process. LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Let’s talk about beliefs. I believe there are two types of beliefs. You have your limiting beliefs… the ones holding you back, telling yourself that you can’t do something. For me, I’ve always told myself that I’m not a people person. We tell ourselves these things, and unfortunately we make it our reality. Now, the other type of belief is an empowering belief. Quite the opposite of a limiting belief. These move us forward towards our greatness. So your beliefs either hold you back or push you forward. Now let’s talk money. I see a lot of common limiting beliefs that people have when it comes to money, or them making money. Here are the top 3 biggest lies you are telling yourself when it comes to money.

Today I want to talk about the 3 things you can do with money… yes only 3. Of all things that you can do with money, they all fall into one of three categories. You can spend it, you can save it, or you can invest it. There's a really trite little phrase that you might have heard people say before, which is that the poor spend, the middle class saves, and the wealthy invest. In my experience, this is generally true. But I think it's important to understand why it's mostly true. Then we talk about how we can ascend through these classifications, and move from a spender to a saver to an investor.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Today I want to talk about learning. I believe that learning is one of the highest ROI skills that you can develop. Learning is a skill, and many people don’t realize it. Like any skill, you need to practice and keep it sharp. I feel that our modern school system’s feed us information to memorize, but they fail at actually teaching us how to learn. Now, an important part of learning is self awareness, because everyone learns in different ways. It took me a long time to figure out how I learn, but once I did, it was a superpower in the sense that now I can acquire pretty much any skill… because I understand what I need to do to unlock my learning potential.Do you?LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!
