Ep. 151 ~ Founder of the Largest Digital Nomad Movement ~ Marcus Meurer
Monday Jan 30, 2017
Monday Jan 30, 2017
“For 2 1/2 years now, I don’t need an alarm and every day starts waking up with the sunrise no matter what country I am in.” Marcus Meurer Today listeners we are welcoming Marcus Meurer to the show. Marcus runs the Life Hackz Podcast, but not only does that, he and his girlfriend/business partner (Feli) run the DNX Movement, DNX Global, and DNX Camp. Between all of these businesses, Marcus and Feli are putting together conferences, retreats, and experiences for digital nomads and those that want to become digital nomads. Marcus and I go back a couple years when we met in Barcelona. Both being location independent entrepreneurs with businesses that bring entrepreneurs together, we hit it off. Marcus took his game to a whole new level, beyond what any digital nomad movement has before. I am personally amazed at everything he has done and continues to do. While recording this podcast there is something that struck me about Marcus. The word is 'genuine'. Because I know Marcus personally I can say that this word fits him very well. I can tell you also, that this has a lot to do with the success that he has created. The way he communicates is genuine and you will notice that on the podcast. He is speaking to teach and help. I think this is an incredibly important trait when creating and building your tribe. You will eventually arrive at a point where your mission becomes to teach those in your tribe so they can empower themselves and continue to grow the tribe, or create their own tribe. It is powerful and necessary to create strength and unity amongst a group. “The Golden Rule is not to go into Social Media before starting your Most Important Tasks for the day.” Marcus Meurer Marcus’ Morning Routine 1. Wake with the sun 2. Make the bed 3. Coconut oil in your mouth for 20 min to remove toxins 4. 7 Min App Stretching Routine 5. Guided Meditation 6. 5 Minute Gratitude Journal 7.

“I’m going to give you an honest answer…because I don’t recommend you do this with your business. We got addicted to the sales.” Freddy Lansky Today listeners we are welcoming and Alumni of The Entrepreneur House and co-founder of iChess to the show Freddy Lansky. Today Freddy and I talk about a variety of subjects from YouTube to living in Mexico City. But the highlights for me on this show were two things. First, Freddy’s business created $750k in revenue in 2016, doubling from 2015 and he talks about his email marketing strategy that has created the majority of this. The second was how his business was a disaster behind the scenes while Freddy, his partner, and their team were hustling away to make sure not so long ago they could keep this business afloat. Today they are doing much better but Freddy talks about a low point in their business where they were questioning everything they were doing and if it was wise to continue forward with iChess. “If you stop running the sales, our revenue will go from $70, $80k a month to $20k.” Freddy Lansky What was really refreshing in this podcast is that Freddy was an open book and open to share his highs and lows and the reality of being an entrepreneur. Freddy shared his numbers and what was happening behind the scenes with his business and I am really glad we got him on the show. If you take the time to listen to the podcast, I think any entrepreneur would really appreciate this episode and the take-a-ways we can learn from Freddy. And with that, let me welcome Freddy Lansky to the show! “In December 2016 we had a major milestone crossed, we hit 6-figures in monthly revenue for the first time ever and did nearly $50k profit for the month! We finished this year with 63% revenue growth and a mind-boggling 335% profit growth over 2015!” Freddy Lansky 3:00: Living in Mexico City and the Reality of Living in Mexico as a Foreigner Today 15:52: Business Disaster and Building Through It 18:22, 27:20: Using Email Marketing to Double iChess's Revenue 36:05: YouTube Today 1:06:10 Outtakes Honorable Mentions: Kunaki - Prints on demand for physical products http://kunaki.com/ Deadline Funnel https://deadlinefunnel.com/ DC - dynamitecircle.com http://www.tropicalmba.com/dc/ Minaal Backpack https://www.minaal.com/ Contact Info: freddy@ichess.net https://www.ichess.net/ https://www.ichess.es/ https://www.youtube.com/user/OnlineChessLessons Twitter: @onlinechessless

“In Brazil, we have a saying, ‘You have to kill a lion every day!’ This is a country that everything is against you, every little thing is against you.” Marcelle Bottini Today listeners we are joined by a Brazilian entrepreneur that I am very excited to have on the show. Marcelle Bottini is the founder of FalaBrasil a Brazilian cultural and language school. Marcelle started off bootstrapping her business as a teacher and has built FalaBrasil into a full brick and mortar and online school. She has nine people on her team and created a place for foreigners to come to Rio de Janeiro, get high-quality Portuguese classes and become immersed in the culture. Here is what is very impressive about Marcelle. Brazil isn’t a place where the entrepreneurial mentality is common and on top of that, the political infrastructure in Brazil makes it even more difficult to have a business. Marcelle created a successful business doing what she loves in a place that is very difficult to do it. After spending five months in Brazil and learning about the country. If you asked me which countries in the world would be easiest to create a business, Brazil would be one of the last on the list. Not only that, when I met her, she informed me that she uses mediation to make all her business decisions. This school that has had hundreds of students, and hired many employees over the years was all created first while Marcelle was meditating! I imagine this has the most impact on creating a successful business in an environment that does not cater to entrepreneurs. 3:00 Where Marcelle gets the idea to start a business as a Portuguese teacher 15:37 How Marcelle used meditation to build her business Honorable Mentions: NLP - Neuro-linguistic Programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming Carioca https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carioca Social Starters http://www.socialstarters.org/ United Nations http://www.un.org/en/index.html Contact Info: http://www.falabrasilschool.com/

Ep. 146 ~ Balancing Emotions in Business ~ John Castagnini
Wednesday Jan 25, 2017
Wednesday Jan 25, 2017
“Everyone of us owe it to ourselves to hone the skill in so that we can perform in the zone on a continuous basis!” John Castagnini Today podcast listeners we have the founder of ThankGodI, John Castagnini on the show. ThankGodI is a movement that John started to help people understand the value of appreciation in all circumstances. When you visit ThankGodI.com you will see quotes from people that say things like “Thank God I have Cancer.”, “Thank God I was abused.”, “Thank God I was raped., and “Thank God I was a heroin addict.” Quotes like these can be very shocking to people and one might say to themselves, “How can someone thank God they were raped?” John wants all people to become aware of the empowerment of being appreciative of all events that happen in our lives and he has many stories from people who can be a testament to this. “Is it failing or is it changing?” John Castagnini I first ran into John when he was speaking at a conference in northern California. His speech was incredible and very inspirational. Needless to say, he had the crowd on the edge of their seats and is why I wanted to get him on the show. I believe the inspiration that he wants to give to the world has created a movement to truly help others while building a business at the same time. He is a perfect example of how this is possible. and without further adieu here is today's show with John Castagnini. When we tap into our uniqueness, our purpose, our vision…we activate the prefrontal cortex…so we literally access our creativity and genius that way. Now taking that genius and channeling it into a business is its own art.” John Castagnini Honorable Mentions: John Castagnini https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Castagnini Dr. Wayne Dyer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Dyer Discover the Gift -Film John did with the Dalaii Lama http://discoverthegift.com/ Thank God I am Blind Story https://www.thankgodi.com/stories/item/159-thank-god-im-blind Human Echolocation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echolocation Thank God I Have Cancer Story https://www.thankgodi.com/stories/item/159-thank-god-im-blind Teleology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleology Contact Info: john.castagnini@thankgodi.com http://thankgodi.com

Manny has been in the Real Estate game since 2004 and experienced an incredible amount of success from 2004-2007. He and I first met when we were both selling real estate investing education in Phoenix, AZ back in 2007. He was a mentor of mine and became a good friend during this time. If you remember, Phoenix was one of the cities that had a massive recession in the 2008/2009 housing crisis/global recession. Both him and I lived through this and it gave us both a massive blow to our businesses. I was knocked completely off my feet and went broke….Manny was a bit more experienced and managed pretty well, but also suffered a huge blow to his business, income, and lifestyle. At this time Manny partnered up with his current partner Marty Boardman and started to build a new fix and flip business which is now called Fix and Flip Hub. Now they have a thriving successful real estate business that operates in both Arizona and Wisconsin. Manny personally has raised over $2 million dollars in private capital to fund his real estate ventures. Manny and Marty have a passion for mentoring and teaching others about investing in real estate. Fix and Flip Hub feature videos from the homes they repair on their social media channels to teach and promote. They also offer seminars and an online training to teach others how to fix and flip. (Before the 2008 Global Recession)…”you could buy a home and literally make the most minor improvements, and then sit on it 2-3 months and profit $20,000, $30,000, $40,000 per deal.” Manny Romero “In order to create wealth, you have to go through this process.

Scott is a serial non-profit entrepreneur. Scott’s main project these days is MotoMission. But this man’s story is way too interesting to just talk about one of his businesses.

In 2009 Scott, his wife and his two young daughters moved to Peru to do charity work. While he was there, the entrepreneur in him, couldn’t stop thinking of ways to build businesses that gave 100% of their money to charity. Fast forward to today, Scott has built multiple businesses in Peru that give all of their money to different charities that Scott and his family work with personally. Today, we are going to chat about what it took for Scott to leave his home, his successful career, and family behind to fulfill a bigger dream of being a serial non-profit entrepreneur in a country he had never been to before.

Ep. 135 ~ Addicted to the Entrepreneurial Struggle with Tim Conley
Saturday Jan 14, 2017
Saturday Jan 14, 2017
“I’ve watched a lot of entrepreneurs create chaos in their own company, just so they can feel like they have something to do.” Tim Conley In this episode, we have a master entrepreneur and executive coach Tim Conley on our show. Tim turns entrepreneurs into CEO’s of their company teaching his clients how to scale their business from 6 to 7 figures without sacrificing their freedom or sanity. In the late 1990’s Tim started marketing consulting for companies to integrate offline and online campaigns. After 2 decades of experience, Tim has worked with over 400 founders, and started, sold and invested in multiple businesses. He knows what it is like to create a 7-figure business and the pressures of running a business at that level. Here is what I like about Tim, he is a no BS guy. His advice is clear and direct and he will tell you what your businesses needs and how to accomplish it in the least amount of time. In 2015, Tim came as an advisor to The Entrepreneur House in Chiang Mai. It was incredible watching this man when helping the attendees with feedback on their business. It was watching a master at work. “When we take on the mantle of entrepreneurship, we are saying to the world, “I’m ready to lead.” Tim Conley Creating Efficient Systems: 1. Must have sizable margins -Must have significantly more revenue than it costs you to provide the service or product. “A company that has great margins can survive all kinds of inefficiency.” Tim Conley 2. Marketing and Sales -Separate the two. Are you sales oriented or marketing oriented? -Usually, a company will be more marketing oriented or more sales oriented. -A sales-oriented company will plateau and they will eventually need to go do marketing or bring in someone that is good at marketing. “Entrepreneurship is that….you take and idea and turn it into reality. How much more art is there than that?” Tim Conley “No one is going to feel sorry for the guy that makes 7-figures….but surrounding ourselves with others that understand what we are going through, it helps us be better people.” Tim Conley Contact Info: Website: http://tim411.com http://leaderswithin.io/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/TimConley The Forge Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheForgeGroup/
