Today’s Cash Flow Diary podcast guest Joshua March is the founder and CEO of Conversocial, a leading provider of cloud-based social customer service solutions. He founded this cool company in 2009 based on his vision that online communication and customer service are undergoing a fundamental shift, requiring businesses to invest in new processes and technologies to manage the rapidly shifting social landscape. A leading proponent of social media, Joshua previously founded leading social application company iPlatform, one of the world’s first Facebook-Preferred Developers, which was acquired in 2012. But as you might guess, this wasn’t always the path Joshua was on. Growing up in England, Joshua actually wanted to be a Barrister, which is a lawyer in America. He attended classes, but as he moved forward he started looking at different opportunities and decided to become an entrepreneur instead. Eventually he stopped attending lectures and did the bare minimum in university to attain his degree, which he wouldn

kickstart that the giant book retailer needed. And what about Hoover’s? Not the vacuum cleaner, but the company that all good salespeople used back in the day. That’s also something that today’s guest was behind. So who is this amazing guest? None other than Gary Hoover, author, speaker, business leader extraordinaire, lifetime learner, book lover with a massive library of more than 50,000 books, educator of entrepreneurs and people of all ages, and master of retail operations!! Whew… that was a mouthful, and that doesn’t even touch everything Gary has done in his life nor continues to do. Gary’s path was a bit unexpected for his family and peers, because he started out in a General Motors manufacturing town. Or maybe that’s what put him on his path to success, because he always wondered how the heck the decision-makers made their decisions. He asked his teachers, his family and other people in town, and no one seemed to know. Then he spotted Fortune magazine on a newsstand and his fate was sealed. In 7th g

Sue operates in real estate investing by creating cool small short-term rental spaces for vacationing guests from across the globe. Though she had lots of different jobs and roles in her life, Sue found her passion when Air BnB came onto the scene. She recognized the massive opportunity and jumped on it. Not only does Sue talk about her path to being a super-duper super host on Air BnB, she talks about the history of Air BnB and how the company grew. As a short-term rental host myself, I find what Sue says fascinating. If you’ve ever thought about renting out your extra room or creating spaces to rent to short-term guests, this is the podcast episode for you. Sue says she and her husband were doing real estate for several years, which was going well. But then the bubble-bursting year of 2008 happened and they ended up usin

Cash Flow Diary podcast guest Attorney Mat Sorensen is the guy that I was fortunate to meet and work with a few years ago. He is also the person who first introduced me to the idea of using SDIRAs, which happens to be the “most investable section of cash” available to you as a real estate entrepreneur in the world. Mat would know; he’s an author who wrote the book on SDIRA rules. He’s also a speaker, trainer, radio show host and all-around great guy! So, what does “SDIRA” mean? Simply it means “Self-Directed IRA” and as such it means the monies in that type of account can be used to invest in properties… like YOUR properties. And it’s not all that tough to rollover or transfer monies from a traditional IRA into one that is self-directed. You can’t do it, but there are companies that specialize in that sort of thing. You need a custodian for the self-directed account. Guess what Mat helps people do? Mat is one of people who can help people open SDIRAs, because that’s one of the things his firm advises clients

You wonder how the heck can you stop working your day job? This is a great episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast to listen to, because guest Kathleen Peddicord could be considered the foremost authority on ways to get to that goal!  Kathleen is the founder and publisher of Live and Invest Overseas, and boy… has she ever traveled. This impressive woman has lived abroad for decades. But did she ever plan the life she lives now? Not by a long shot. In fact, she says it was accidental. While Kathleen always thought it would be neat to live in another country and had a love for castles and such, she didn’t know how she would get there. As a writer she had a very romantic idea of what that life might be like. Then something happened that allowed her to ride on the coattails of one of her bosses and mentors. She took a job that allowed her to travel and then got the opportunity to open and run a publishing business in Ireland.  From there, Kathleen was on her way to living her dream, living and working abroad in di

What does Cash Flow Diary podcast guest Josh Cantwell, real estate investing business superstar, and Superman have in common? They were both hail from Ohio. That’s right… Superman was born of the minds of a couple of very creative individuals in Ohio; Josh’s entrepreneurial mindset was formed by watching his entrepreneurial father in Ohio… a place Josh continues to call home even today.  Though CEO of Strategic Real Estate Coach, Freeland Ventures and Yellow Jacket Properties, Josh is the Josh wasn’t always the phenomenal real estate entrepreneur he is today. In fact, he started out playing ball in his teens. But instead of a chasing a dream life in sports, Josh went another direction. He attended college and then became a financial advisor. The one thing he saw in each and every one of the top-earning clients he worked with is that they all owned real estate. A light went off, and he decided at a very young age to buy real estate and become a landlord. This ended up being one of his best decisions ever; it p

Anyone who knows me also knows I love a certain dining establishment’s menu items… in particular all their delicious chicken dishes. It’s Chick-fil-A! That’s why I’m so excited to chat with Arthur Greeno, owner of not one but two really successful Chick-fil-A restaurants in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Arthur is also a two-time author and two-time Guinness World Record holder. In short, Arthur has been busy for the last 27 years building an admirable life, hitting high marks for his success goals.  Before the chicken hit the plate of Arthur’s life and put him on the road to massive success, he says he was lost. He wasn’t sure what he would do in life. He didn’t come from a family that embraced much. In fact, alcoholism was an issue. Young Arthur looked at the people his parents hung out with and how they all lived. He decided early on that struggling to make ends meet wasn’t something he wanted to do. He looked at everyone his family and he surrounded themselves with and make a conscious choice to surround himself with

  Originally from South Africa, Valhalla Wealth Financial’s president MC Laubscher didn’t start out as the asset-management and wealth strategist he is today. What you’ll learn if you read his book is that he started out as a rugby player. He didn’t come from entrepreneurial roots; he also wasn’t a natural sales guy. But he knew that if he wanted to enter the world of entrepreneurs and real estate, which is something he found a great passion for, he would have to build his sales skills.  The good news is that MC realized he could develop those skills, so he started studying leaders in sales and entrepreneurship. He also realized he could build a team that would help him, especially in the sales side. With that came a realization that we are all selling something every day of our lives. You’ll have to listen to this episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast to understand this fully. That said, it’s something I’m in total agreement about with this guest, which you already know if you have been keeping up with me f

If you don’t know who Chuck Dixon is, that’s okay. You probably know a few of the superheroes he’s helped bring to life. Chuck has written for DC Comics and Marvel, and now works for some of the most well-known and beloved animated television shows on the planet. When asked how he got into this field, Chuck says he never had any other talents than writing for comics, so he stuck with that path and it paid off big time.  Interestingly, he watched other writers and artists who wanted to do their own work but who took day jobs as writers and artists… and had zero energy left at the end of the day to do their own work. So Chuck took a job as a janitor, so he had plenty of creative energy at the end of his work day. He could focus on his own artistic endeavors any time he wanted. Plus, he didn’t have a college degree so he was at the lower end of the job food chain. He said his role model was Black Beard… yes, the pirate, because he burned his own boats to cut off any other path than forward. Whenever friends and

Some may look at time as life's most grim enemy - Once it's gone you can never gain it back. By prioritizing, real estate entrepreneuers can spawn a friendship with time.

In the last episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast the focus was on learning to fail forward and fail frequently because it happens to be necessary to your success as an entrepreneur. In this episode the focus is on another necessary skill you must develop to be a successful entrepreneur and investor. It’s marketing! With the New Year fast approaching, marketing is a subject you need to put your mind to and get ready to follow through with your marketing plan in a big way. It’s a sure bet that if you don’t pay much attention to your marketing strategies… or if you don’t have any strategies in place… you could be doing a whole lot better in your business. This is especially true in Real Estate Investing. Marketing is far more than the definitions you find in any dictionary online or off. What marketing really means is getting out into the world to let people know you exist and that you can solve their problems! In Real Estate, investors often think because they have a deal or two that’s all they need. Not so!

In today’s Cash Flow Diary podcast episode, you learn about another necessary skill for entrepreneurs, business owners and Real Estate Investors. It’s flexibility! Why is being flexible so important? Because sometimes your best laid plans will go awry. That means you’re going to have to be flexible to adjust and take the necessary steps to turn things around. Think of it as a form of mental yoga. It’s okay if things don’t go as you intend. It’s how you respond and what you do when things go off track that matters. J. Massey learned this early on from one of his mentors. He always said, “Blessed be the flexible because they’ll never be bent out of shape.” He’s right. The more mentally flexible you are the better. You’ll realize that no matter what happens you will be okay. You’ll live and even thrive if you are flexible. You can’t avoid issues in business. J. talks about some of the surprises he has experienced in building his Real Estate Investing business. He shares how he had to grow in his flexibility in t

So, is there a way out of the 9-to-5? Um, yes. That’s what you’ll learn in this episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast from guest Gary Beasley, who took his own experience in real estate to create his own entrepreneurial thing. You’re sure to get answers to your burning questions about jumping into the real estate investing pool.  As you might have guessed, Gary wasn’t always the real estate entrepreneur he is today who started www.Roofstock.com, which is something that allows a whole lot more people to participate in real estate investing than ever before. In Gary’s words, he’s proud to have been a part of building a very disruptive company and makes money for the investors and the employees! But he says another thing that gets him excited about Roofstock is the psychic rewards he receives from knowing he is a part of this brainchild. Gary loves what he’s doing! Coming from a small town in Indiana, he grew up in a traditional, hard-working family where he learned the value of working toward goals. Gary said

From about the end of February to April 15 each and every year, Americans move through a special season. It doesn’t come with a colorful, icing-laden cookie shaped like a tree or reindeer, and it doesn’t come with decorations. What is it? Tax season, and it has the power to get millions of Americans stressed to the gills and very frustrated. Some taxpayers procrastinate to the bitter end, standing in long lines at the post office on April 15 just to make sure their tax filing is postmarked with that date. These people make the news year after year, too. They rarely look happy as field reporters hold mics to their faces and ask why they waited so long. Maybe it’s a thrill to wait till the last minute, or maybe it’s because these people aren’t happy with how much they have to pay. Perhaps they don’t know that there are ways to keep from paying way more in taxes than they have to. And every bit of it is legal. That’s right. There’s a fat rule book written by the good people at the IRS that tells us all how we ca

If there is one thing that you should be learning from listening to the Cash Flow Diary podcast, it's that failing is a part of success. You cannot avoid failure events. It's how you handle them that matters. In this episode you get a little insight into some of the small failure events that occurred at our recent Black Friday live-streamed Cashflow 101 board game event. Things didn't go as smoothly as we intended, but it's okay. The game happened, we had a great time, people as far away as Barcelona were watching us and learning how to run games better, and we received excellent questions from viewers and players in the room. We learned from all the little things that didn't go well or as well as they could have. Awesome! We didn't just pack it in, take our ball and go home. We managed the technical issues and moved forward anyway. Apply this insight to what you're doing as a Real Estate Investor. If you talk to 10 people and still don't have a YES from a seller, buyer
