Cashflow Diary | Influenced By Robert Kiyosaki Of Rich Dad About Real Estate Investing, Cash Flow And Passive Income.

Now for something completely different… today’s episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast teaches you how to ask for the money you need for deals! Guest and funding strategist John Livesay (a.k.a., The Pitch Whisperer) has been told no more times than most people and just kept going.Rejection is a part of sales… and we are always selling. Whether it’s negotiating the movie you and your friends want to see or getting the kids to bed, we’re selling our point of view. So we should never be afraid of “selling” in our business.John can help you get through the fear and improve your confidence. In fact, he does it all the time in his business and his Successful Pitch podcast. You should start listening to it, because it’s full of good stuff.As a child John caught the sales bug, starting out as a newspaper boy. He went door to door selling the paper, giving people a reason to subscribe. He did well. Later he attended college to learn more about sales. He even sold ad space to local businesses, which taught him a lot. H

Nothing is stopping you from your dreams, but you… In this Cash Flow Diary podcast episode we’re trying something fun and a little different. If it works out, we’ll be doing more of these. This is lifted from a cool, live Periscope session I did. If you want to find me there and watch upcoming live sessions, sign up at https://www.periscope.tv/cashflowdiary.In this episode you’ll learn that there are 6 Degrees of separation from your destiny. (Yeah, clever, I know.) And I hope you heed the advice. There are reasons you aren’t moving forward that have to do with your Dreams, your Decisions, your Delays, how you handle Difficulties and Dead Ends, and finally how you can move more quickly to Deliverance.But to get through these steps, you also need work steadfastly on your goals by making sure they are focused, attainable, individual (to you and you alone), trackable and truly heartfelt.One way to get to your goals is to get in front of lots and lots of people. Not doing so will stop you from reaching your goals

If you’ve ever told yourself that you’re two young, too broke, too whatever to become a real estate entrepreneur, stop listening to yourself. None of your excuses pass muster. Truth is you don’t need to be any special age and you don’t need any special powers to do real estate investing. You just need to get out there and start telling people what you’re doing. Find problems to solve! Then solve them through real estate transactions… and good ideas.  That’s what you’ll learn in this episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast. Today’s guest isn’t even 25 yet. His name is Charles Hayden Hattemer and he became a real estate entrepreneur in his early 20s while still in college. That’s when he and a few friends were looking for a rental, coming up empty-handed. Landlords didn’t want to rent to students; rentals that existed were really hard to find. There had to be a better way. That’s when the first idea about OneRent.co sprang to life. What started out as a technological answer to solve problems in student housing g

If you get up late and feel like you’re chasing tasks and goals, but at the end of the day feel like you didn’t get anything done… you need to get up earlier

Close your eyes. Now, imagine that you’re a gold miner. You’re working, working, working to find your way to the gold. When you find it, does it make sense to suddenly go off and start digging another hole? This is what I mean… If you as a real estate investor have discovered a niche that works really, really well for you… why would you go off and do something different in another market when the secret to your success is actually to replicate what you just did? Otherwise it’s like walking away from a gold mine full of gold to see if you can find another productive mine. How does that even make sense? It doesn’t. However, this isn’t atypical among real estate investors. There are so many opportunities in real estate investing that it’s easy to find yourself wanting to jump around from market to market to try new things. But that’s not good. It’s more important to master one market and add to it before moving on to something else. (Sort of like Starbucks. They started out in business by serving a great cup of

We are always learning new things and trying new things so we can become bigger and badder in whatever we are doing in life and in our professional lives. When we have a business we need to keep trying new things with our marketing. This is a critical factor in building your presence in the world and online. At Cash Flow Diary we have been trying a few new things to spread our message and presence. One thing is Periscope. So in this unique episode I lift the audio from a recent Periscope session to cover the topic of how to become a real estate entrepreneur. If you’re new to Cash Flow Diary and are just learning about what we do here, this episode should be very helpful to you. I recap my path to becoming the businessman and investor I am today. You’ll also learn that I’m a father of a few very active children, cuz you’ll hear them from time to time in the background. I can give Periscope two thumbs up. It’s fun, it’s easy to use and I can record literally from anywhere. What’s also cool is that I can interac

Tom Nardone proves the American Dream of financial freedom is entirely possible once we open our eyes and recognize opportunities are literally everywhere. That’s how he became known as the Millionaire Mailman by getting involved in real estate investing. Tom wasn’t always the investor and author he is today who has been seen on TV talking about his life. He started simply as a “postal person” working a government job. At age 19, he started working for the Post Office as a mailman. It didn’t take him long to realize that the security entrapment of “good job” is not a lot different from a 30-year jail sentence. Tom explains it simply and truthfully. He says, “You feel trapped, and your income is limited.” Realizing his “good government job” was not going to make his dreams of being financially free come true, Tom took some real estate investing courses. He bought his first house in 1983… at the age of 23. (So when you say you’re too young to be an investor, you’re wrong.)Tom soon realized he had a major unfair

Marco Santarelli isn’t only a real estate investor, author, podcast host and helper of other real estate investors get deals done, he’s also the founder of Norada Real Estate Investments — a nationwide provider of turn-key cash-flow rental properties.  Since launching the business in 2004, the company has helped hundreds of real estate investors create wealth and cash-flow through real estate.What’s interesting is that Marco is a fellow geek. He learned to code and program for the gaming industry. (For those who don’t know me well, I was also and remain to this day a geek who appreciates programming.) Marco says this helped him do deals later in life, because just like programming real estate deals require us to take certain steps. Hang with us through our conversation about outdated computers. I promise we’ll get to the real estate investing part quickly. Marco says he wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth. On the contrary, he saw his mother work three jobs just to makes ends meet. What he noticed is

The day of the yellow letter is gone. You need to utilize online tools to reach your customers, expand your business and grow your cashflow. The great thing today is that you can expand our reach globally without leaving your desk. So why wouldn’t you?

You’re gonna want to listen to this episode a few times, because the information is that good. It gives you the how-to’s of building your business.

Australian real estate investor Reed Goossens and I have a few things in common. Sure, we may be on different continents, but we do the same thing. We both climbed up from having zero properties to having a pretty cool portfolio of properties. He loves commercial investing; I love commercial properties. Reed has a podcast, too, which is pretty cool. But we share more than that. Before real estate investing, Reed was pursuing a career in structural engineering. He earned his degree in 2007 in Brisbane, Australia, and was hired soon after to travel to London where he worked with the design team to build projects related to the London Olympics. He had some amazing experiences working in some very large projects. Reed wanted to get away from “working for the man” so to speak, and found his passion as a real estate investor. When the London job ended, he went back to Australia to work as he had before. One day he looked around his cubicle and it struck him… Is this what he’d be doing for the next 40 years of his l

We're into the second quarter. Where are you in your plan? You set goals that you want to reach by certain points in the year in life, business and finances. Are you moving the needle forward? Did you hit your first-quarter goals? Did you hit the ground running in January and now find that you're running low on steam? Are you making offers and doing deals, working consistently toward your overall goals, hitting a few, and then using the strategies and knowledge you've learned from Cash Flow Diary to keep moving forward? If not, why not? Too many times we let too many things get in our way of achieving success. That's because we let negativity, personal challenges in life, professional challenges in business and chaos to keep us from taking action. If this reflects where you're at right now, stand up and walk outside. Start opening your mouth and talking to more people. Success truly boils down to a shift in your mindset and developing the skills that will allow you to keep moving, no

In this first podcast of our special November tribute to thought leader Zig Ziglar, J. interviews Zig's proud son and CEO of Ziglar, Inc, Tom Ziglar! You will learn what bikes and trust have in common, and what the scalability of trust in business means. Though born into the Ziglar name and business, Tom had a few hurdles in his mind to wrestle to the ground before he could open himself fully to success. His story is something you need to hear. We talk about real estate as a business, too, and how it's all about relationships and personal growth. 

Have you ever heard of the phrase "dress like the person you want to become"?Listen now, as J. Massey explains why positive personal growth serves as the proper "dress code" to achieve success as an real estate entrepreneur.

Know the very first thing you have to do to achieve success in real estate investing? Change your mindset and start thinking differently. If you’ve come to a point where you are tired of the way things are, and where you want more income, more freedom, more time with your family and more time to do what you want vs. living your life in the 9-to-5 grind then it’s time for a change.  To allow change to take place you must first open your mind to all the tremendous possibilities that lie before you. You have to go through a shift in your thinking. If you tend to be negative it is critical that you dump the negativity and embrace the positive. If you have unsupportive people in your life, you really need to stop hanging out with them. If the voices in your head are telling you that you can’t do something different or new, stop listening. I did an entire series on what you need to stop doing to become successful. If you haven’t listened to those eight episodes yet, why not? If you have, well, all I can say is exce

Why should you care about currency and how it works? What is the ebb and flow of the Fed anyway? And what the heck does the 16thAmendment mean to you? That’s what Cash Flow Diary podcast ‘Real Estate Guys’ Russell Gray talks about, simplifying these lofty topics so we can understand in layman’s terms. As investors, the more we know the better we can be at what we do. That’s what the DIIP is all about. That’s why I tell you to read the news, see what you can take away from what’s going on in our world today and then apply what you learn to your Real Estate business. Politics, the economy and how our Federal Reserve works dictates a lot of factors that affect your success as a Real Estate Investor. Russ spent years learning everything he could stuff into his brain about currency and investing. His research took him into the area of macroeconomics as he learned more about the Baby Boomer market. One of the most interesting things about Russ is that the way he explains things makes it easier to understand. Anothe

Wanna know a great way to cut your learning curve when learning how to do real estate investing? It’s having a mentor. Even better, what if you had several mentors? That’s what you get inside the Cashflow Core Membership. To give you just a little glimpse of one of the ways you can move your needle forward more quickly toward your goals in real estate investing, check out this episode of my Cash Flow Diary podcast. I’ve simply lifted a recent episode of my Q & A with J web show. The show happens every Tuesday at 4 p.m., PST, on a secure channel that is only open to Cashflow Core Members. The show was created for one reason: to answer questions… all questions… regarding deal structures, how to step through different strategies in real estate investing, helping members overcome challenges they may be having and more. Those who tune in most weeks to the show tend to move more quickly toward their goals. I’ve noticed they are the same members who tend to earn the most. There’s a reason. They ask me questions.

Okay, so he may not be the first person to discover the benefits of investing in trailer parks, but Jefferson Lilly does it really, really well! Part of Park Street Partners, Jefferson now spends most of his time helping other people to invest in real estate, and he is here today to share why he does what he does in trailer parks. Jefferson describes trailer parks as a “quirky little niche.” Since there are maybe 1,500 mobile home parks that actually change hands every year nationwide, he’s right. But you know what they say… you can get rich in a niche! Maybe that’s why Jefferson’s smile is so bright it would make the Cheshire Cat envious. So who was Jefferson before he became the mobile home park investment expert, educator, and industry consultant he is who has been featured in the New York Times, Bloomberg Magazine, and on the ‘Real Money’ television show?Prior to co-founding Park Street Partners in 2013, Jefferson spent seven years investing his own capital at Lilly & Company where he acquired and con

Of course, I add a layer to that part by doing video diary entries. If you’re a Cashflow Core Member you may have watched some of them. (If not, why not?)If you t

Who is Richard Wilson? He started out as a risk management expert who was bored. He suffered from the “golden handcuff” syndrome. Now he is an understated, somewhat quiet expert on family office syndication who has a lot to say about a topic on which it’s tough to find a lot of information. Richard made this space more efficient. But, as you might imagine, it wasn’t a straight path. He figured things out along the way as he saw the holes that needed to be filled in industry. Today Richard is the CEO of The Miami Family Office, a $500M AUM single family office. (If you don’t know what this means, go to Richard’s site and educate yourself… AND listen to this episode of my Cash Flow Diary podcast.) Richard is also the founder of Wilson Holding Company, which produces over $10M annually in revenue through various operating businesses including Billionaire Family Office and The Family Club, the largest membership-based family office association, along with holdings in the training, single family office management,
