It’s a whole different mental space and idea on how to handle finances.” ~Aryeh SheinbeinAryeh also explains fair value and private market valuations and how they can relate to raw land investment. TIP OF THE WEEKAryeh: My tip of the week is one word. Patience. It hits on everything: business, investment, or life. If you’re building or growing something, you think it should happen in 12 months or less. It’s not going to. Continue to build the skill. Have the patience to see it blossom. Most people don’t have the patience and bail too early, because they don’t have the patience.As for books, the book I like a lot and that I read every other year is James Cleary’s Atomic Habits. If you read the book and implement the ideas, it’s game-changing.The other book I’ve read recently is Adam Grant’s Think Again. It gives you perspective on investing, business or life as well. If you don’t take the time to rethink why you’re doing something, you can be on a sinking ship and not realize it, because you’re too focused on your idea working out. Mark: Atomic Habits is one of those books you should read every single year. WANT TO LISTEN MORE?Did you like this episode?

So, just be you! Also, my first book that I wrote which is an international best-seller, called Success Left A Clue.

But it does come with a caveat, I wrote the book as a workbook, which means there are action steps. At the end of the book, I'd always say, "Did you do the action, if not, stop and go back. Do the action before you continue reading." I would love for them to download, read it and do the action steps.

TIP OF THE WEEKJoshua: Just make sure you take your daily pill, and the pill of course is an acronym for something that you can do; just 4 things that you can do on a daily basis. I’d be happy to give you the resources for this here Mark as well too for your audience. Every day you want to do something painful. For me, just an example, it is getting into that stinking ice barrel bath that is about 40 degrees because I know that if I can tackle something hard in the morning, nothing can happen to me for the rest of the day that I can’t take on. Especially as a business owner, or as an entrepreneur, there is going to be something sometime. So painful, intentional; what is it intended that you are going to do that day that is going to help move your business forward or something that is important to move forward. Do something every single day that you are lazy at, something that you just avoid, that you hope somebody else is going to do, but you do know, at the end of the day that if you did it, it will make life easier for them and you would be happy that you got it done. Every day, make sure you do something that you love, what is it that you love to do, and make sure you have an opportunity to do that. Take the pill every single day; painful, intentional, lazy, and love. WANT TO LISTEN MORE? Did you enjoy this episode?

What I like about Scott Alexander is he's very straightforward, straight to the point —real blunt. He talks about the difference between being a rhino or being a cow, and he compares it today, he uses that as an analogy. But then, he also talks a lot about faith, and I think the biggest takeaway from everything is, without faith you can't get anything done in life. It really is through the means of faith that keeps me going. Without faith, you can't level success to where you get to without it.WANT TO LISTEN MORE?Did you like this episode?

What’s cool is they have a site of the day, like a fun fact, thought of the day, a book of the month. Joe: The book that I used as an entrepreneur, that helped me through all sorts of issues was Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. The big lesson in that is writing down your goals and reviewing those goals on a regular basis. That’s my secret that’s not a secret to success in entrepreneurship: I write down my goals, I have 5 or 6 main goals for every year that I look at and review them every day. And when you review them in the morning, you do different things based on those goals. This new book, I was surprised because I had low expectations on this book, it’s Greenlights by Mathew McConaughey. I really thought it’s not a good book, but I read it, he wrote down his goals on a regular basis and review them. Great lessons and I learned a lot about myself reading that book. The real focus on that is goal setting and goal reading.WANT TO LISTEN MORE?Did you like this episode?

He's got a podcast, and of course, get the books!Scott: I just want everybody to take from this podcast what they want. One of the things I get from this podcast and it kind of aligns with what Steve said that solidifies it, and that is, everybody does something because they have a problem, everybody is looking and calling you about their land because they have a problem. So figure out how to solve their problem and the minute you solve their problem, you will not have any issues with money or sales. You just try solving out what problem they're trying to solve. Solve it!Steve: My tip is 'Challenge Yourself'. I think the trouble is we get into the rough and I constantly challenge myself. Challenging yourself doesn't mean you get into deals that are expensive. It could be listening to the different radio stations, it could be like trying an appetizer on a restaurant that you don't know what it is, it could be like turning left when you're supposed to turn right just to see the area of your neighborhood looks like. When you try something different, it gets your mind engages and builds up a habit that triggers like "oh, we're trying new things", in which you become open with new things. Try something different with low liability, low cost, and get your head to engage in building a habit to be open.WANT TO LISTEN MORE?Did you like this episode?
