They also discuss their top three marketing platforms of all time. TIP OF THE WEEKTeria: My tip of the week was going to be dud. My problem was getting spammy emails or just being on the list that I never subscribed to, so I was trying to find a good unsubscribe software that could go through and help me without having to unsubscribe individually with each one, and I found one. It worked well, for maybe 3 or 4 I was trying to unsubscribe, and after that, the fees started adding up for each time I want to unsubscribe. That was my dilemma, that was going to be my tip because the first was like, this is great, I don't have to worry about all of these emails and click, click, click; I can just unsubscribe with one button. But I don't want to pay a ton of money for it.Erik: It's been a while since I've gone through that process, but last time I did, I believe I used a service called unroll.me. That allowed me to go through and unsubscribe from a bunch of stuff, I don't remember having to pay for it, I don't know if that has changed. But maybe it can help!Mark: Mine is, hey.com. They have a thing called a screener, if you have a subscription that you don't want you can screen them out and you'll never see them again. In fact, you can subscribe to a million things and you can see what it is, and then you can just scream them out. Super easy, super simple. It's $99 a year. I think it's well worth it.Want To Listen More?Did you enjoy this episode?

Basically, you can divide into teams, departments or companies, and get regular updates from your teams especially with your virtual teams, and have connections.Patrick: My tip of the week is how to use transformational questions instead of transactional questions when you talk to people. Most people when they go out and network, they will be asking something like, "How was your week or weekend?" or "How are you doing?", the problem with that kind of questions is that you'll get a surface answer because you can answer that on auto-pilot. You'll get an answer that is not really deep and what you need to do is bring them out of the auto-pilot people's on. So instead, you can ask them "What was the best part of your weekend or week?", ask a question that gets people to think deeper and build a bond where there's a real connection, real humanity shared.Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want, when you want, and with whomever you want?

Bill Allen is the owner and CEO of Blackjack Real Estate LLC, the CEO, and owner of 7 Figure Flipping, a real estate investor, a former Navy pilot, a husband, and a father of three boys. He operates from Nashville, Tennessee, and has amassed a large following of like-minded people who are either seasoned in the real estate industry or are new and need some guidance to reach their goals within a set time frame.As an entrepreneur at heart, Bill made his first move as a businessman, selling candies when he was only in middle school. An action that got him in trouble with the rules, but never dampened his love for owning and operating his own business. Pausing his business ventures, he went on to serve his country for 18 years as a Navy pilot, but his love for business would see him venturing into real estate after completing active duty and transferring to the Reserves. The introduction to real estate was a bitter-sweet experience for Bill who started by buying and renting a few houses, in the hopes that he could achieve financial freedom and plan early retirement. At first, his sole focus was on buying rental properties in Pensacola, Florida; however, the 20% bank loan interest rates and recurrent costs of property management forced him to rethink his strategy when he acquired his tenth house and saw that the profit wasn’t adding up to what he had in mind. Going back to the drawing board, in 2014 he sold one of the properties he’d initially purchased to rent out and made a surprising $43,000. That’s when the idea of flipping houses struck him and he decided to diversify his investment portfolio. Only a year later, in 2015, Blackjack Real Estate LLC was created; a wholesale company that finds and assigns contracts to house flippers and landlords.Today, Bill has gotten his business to the point where he works less than 5 hours a week and enjoys more time with his friends and family, while still making the income he wants and discovering new ways to expand his income and mentor those who reach out to him. Listen in as they discuss:Bill’s journey into real estate and how his experiences have shaped his current way of living.How to get your business to a point where it works for you.The processes of delegating tasks that are important but don’t generate the highest ROI.How to scale the mental hurdles of delegating to new hires.Documenting and delegating tasks in your business.The level of work it takes, in the beginning, to train someone to the point where you are comfortable with allowing them to manage aspects of your business.The importance of hiring empowered and skilled people.

It really reduces to the smallest subset. The book really does an amazing way, it has a way of looking at all of the habits.Anthony: I also have a book that almost compliments the Atomic Habits, it’s called What Got You Here Won’t Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith. A little old book but something you can read. Instead, you focus on processes, you focus on 20 habits that are more transactional and relational that will make you more effective in those processes, and if you’re into leveling up which is the Land Geek Businesses is so much about, it’s about leveling up and you have to change if you’re going to get there. It’s these habits that you’re going to constantly tweak to get you better to make you more reflective and give you the next set of exercises so you can prepare your business for greater success.Michelle: My tip is Tax Evasion is a crime, Tax Avoidance is not. What I mean by that is, as business owners we need to get into doing tax planning and not just at the end of the year when you see how much taxes you’re going to pay, scrambling to it to evade them. Tax Evasion is a crime, Tax Avoidance is not. Get to tax planning, it’s important. Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want, when you want and with whomever you want?
