Ep. 154 ~ Taxes for Digital Nomads and International Entrepreneurs ~ Stewart Patton

“When you operate through the right legal structure, you can do so in a way where you are not paying US tax each year on the profits of the business.” Stewart Patton Today listeners it is my honor to welcome the founder of U.S. Tax, Stewart Patton to the show. Stewart is a U.S. tax attorney and expat entrepreneur currently residing in Belize. He specializes in helping U.S. citizens who live and invest outside of the U.S. understand and optimize their tax situation. Everyone knows the challenges one can have with taxes. Entrepreneurs have a much bigger job dealing with taxes than the average person, and those expat and digital nomad entrepreneurs have even another layer to figure out. Stewart, being one of us himself has figured out how to handle these challenges and he makes it as easy as possible to handle your finances while abroad. I have been studying this stuff for years but, I am surprised how many entrepreneurs don’t know about or understand how their taxes work. So today, we are going to talk to Stewart about some of the little-known advantages of being an entrepreneur abroad, how to move money where you need it, when you need it, and how we can maximize our business profit and minimize our taxes. 6:48: What are the advantages to creating a business inside the US vs outside the US? 10:51: Which is the best, Wyoming LLC, Nevada C-Corp, Delaware LLC, Texas LLC? 13:00: For Digital Nomads - What qualifies for not living in the US? 13:33: Foreign Earned Income Exclusion 21:23: Where are some good places to incorporate abroad? Panama Hong Kong Jersey Ireland Gibraltar Singapore St. Kits St. Lucia Belize 26:16: Panama Papers Half-Pat: Not an expat, just half in (The U.S.) and half out. You don’t spend enough time outside the U.S. to incorporate outside the U.S. Contact Info: Website: http://www.ustax.bz Stewart’s Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tax-savvy-expat-podcast/id1182538684

Ep. 153 ~ Entrepreneurs and Alcohol with Some Social Media on Top ~ Anna Wickham

“Peer pressure is hard, but what’s harder…is knowing you had the potential to do great things, and you were afraid of what people think.” Anna Wickham Today listeners we are privileged to have Anna Wickham on our show. Anna is a blogger, coach, and entrepreneur that helps entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs leverage online marketing to grow their business. Recently, Anna wrote an article that inspired me to reach out to her. The article was titled, ‘What I Learned When I Stopped Drinking Alcohol - 1 Year Later’. It was Anna’s journey of finding a point in her life where enough was enough with drinking and partying. She went one-year without a drop of alcohol and dives into how it was one of the most empowering and impactful years of her life. I wanted to bring her on the show for a couple reasons. First, to show entrepreneurs, and non-entrepreneurs that feel the pressure to drink, there are alternative options. And second, because I had a similar experience myself and thought it would be great to have a dialogue about this topic with a fellow entrepreneur. At the beginning of the show, we talk business and then switch to the topic of alcohol towards the end. I think any listener will get a lot of value from this podcast whether they are thinking about quitting drinking or not. The lessons Anna learned from this goal are lessons we can apply to everyday business! “There is a lot of people having this experience, wondering what to do about it.” Anna Wickham 7:21: What Are Some Things Working Today for YouTube 13:57: Anna on Facebook Live 16:19: Balancing Multiple Social Media Accounts 20:18: Anna’s Year without Alcohol 29:30: Anna’s Biggest Lesson Being Alcohol-Free 34:46: Using Work to Check Out of Life “I really wanted to change the conversation around alcohol.” Anna Wickham Anna’s Blog Post ‘What I Learned When I Stopped Drinking Alcohol - One Year Later’ Honorable Mentions: Huffington Post Marcelle Bottini Ep. 147 ~ A Female Entrepreneur Creating a Business Where Everything Thing is Against You Charm House Influence and Brown Bag Anna's Influence School Headspace Self-Compassion Meditations by Kristen Neff Gabby Bernstein Contact Info: Website: https://www.annawickham.com/ Anna’s Influence School http://influence-school.com/ Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/annawickhampage Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/aewickham Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aewickham/ http://theentrepreneurhouse.com/ep-153/

Ep. 151 ~ Founder of the Largest Digital Nomad Movement ~ Marcus Meurer

“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.

Ep. 148 ~ $750k Revenue, Email Mkting, A Biz Disaster, Mexico ~ Behind the Scenes w/ Freddy Lansky

“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

Ep. 147 ~ Creating a Business in an Environment Where Everything is Against You ~ Marcelle Bottini

“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

“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

Ep. 135 ~ Addicted to the Entrepreneurial Struggle with Tim Conley

“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/

Ep. 131 ~ I Told the VC's I Won't Take Their Offer ~ Kamil Kaminski

In this episode, we have a recent Alum of The Entrepreneur House on the show, Kamil Kaminski! Kamil is from Warsaw, Poland and runs a business providing content for entrepreneurs that don’t have much time by interviewing them and translating those interviews into blog articles. His background is in mathematics and education. He was developing an E-learning platform that would prepare students for their exams, but just before sealing the deal with venture capitalists he decided to pursue his dream of being location independent and starting a real business rather than working with a VC backed startup. He’s talents are content strategy, and creating educational blog posts. In this episode, we will address the why behind content, writing a blog and why they are both important. We will also touch on new business and product ideas and how to scale them from 0-$4,000 in one month.  P.S. We have to let you know we had some connection issues during the podcast and there are a few choppy places in the audio. Many apologies we did the best we could to patch it up nicely. Valuable Tips from Kamil: The questions you should ask yourself before you start a new business or product…. 1. Are you excited to work on this everyday for the next 4 years? 2. Would you like to have lunch with your clients every Friday? 3. Is it scaleable and can it run without you? 4. Will it launch quickly? “It’s human nature to write about yourself. What you should be doing is writing about the person who is going to be reading your blog.” Kamil Kaminski “I though f*** that….I told the VC’s I won’t take their offer.” Kamil Kaminski “I created my offer using the exact problems and objections they had.” Kamil Kaminski Honorable Mentions: Tropical MBA Podcast http://www.tropicalmba.com/ DCBKK Conference http://www.tropicalmba.com/dcbkk-in-25-photos/ Taylor Pearson https://taylorpearson.me Niel Napier https://jobrack.eu/ Clare Goodwin http://solepal.com/ Paul Levine http://theentrepreneurhouse.com/ep-123-building-an-audience-live-workshop-inside-the-entrepreneur-house-w-paul-levine/ Dan Norris http://7daystartup.com/ Dynamite Circle http://www.tropicalmba.com/dc/ Ep. 127 ~ The Power of Giving Away Your Time http://theentrepreneurhouse.com/ep-127the-power-of-giving-your-time-a-wrap-up-to-chiang-mai/ Contact Info: hi@kamin.ski contentmarketingdoneforyou.com http://www.kamin.ski/

He is an entrepreneur in the truest sense, his motto being “Let’s start a business and change the world!” Pete now "runs' (and I loosely use that word) three business from his laptop or phone anywhere in the world. Getting behind the entrepreneurial mind of this guy was incredible. You will also find out why Pete decided to come to The Entrepreneur House in early 2015. Today, we will go behind the scenes of what a 36-year old (semi) retired entrepreneur thought about staying with us in Barcelona! “Nobody (in The House) was better than the other, or looked up or down to one another.” Pete Hall “The favorite thing about The House is the concentration of Entrepreneurs.” Pete Hall “To put a price tag on it, I would say it (The Entrepreneur House) is somewhere in the $10,000 range.” Pete Hall Fields of Expertise: -Print and direct mail layout -Web page design -Copyrighting -IT Contact Pete: http://petehall.com

119 ~ Conquering Health and Business by Controlling Your Environment

Today listeners, we are privileged today to have a very special guest named Rus Hughes on our show. Rus, is a systems architect. He has been working online since 2002 and been an entrepreneur since 2012. His background is in development and systems administration. During his career, he has worked with small startups and large enterprises to develop, scale and maintain various styles of web, data and telecoms applications used by schools, hospitals banks and governments. Since 2014 he’s also been selling physical products on Amazon.com. Recently he’s entwined his love of systems and Amazon knowledge to create Amazooka.com, a SaaS to help Amazon sellers understand their customers more and sell more products. Here is what I love about Rus…. He is humble, unassuming and incredibly generous. I have seen Rus in action and can tell you point blank that he is more concerned with creating products that add value and truly helping people than he is about making money. He has a high level of integrity, works hard when he needs to and delegates as much as possible. He is a master analyzer, and can take one look at what you're doing with your business, give some quick advice that can catapult sales, and skyrocket your conversion rates. He has an incredible track record of working online including creating a 6-figure business in less than a year. Rus has one of the most incredible and exciting stories of anyone that has stayed in The Entrepreneur House that he shares that with us in this episode.

Today listeners we are chatting with one of our main advisors here at The Entrepreneur House, Tal Gur. Tal just spent the past month of his life advising 17 attendees of The Entrepreneur House on business and life.

I personally think he has done an outstanding job consulting for the attendees. We are going to chat today about what went on behind the scenes of The Entrepreneur House in Chiang Mai. How we worked hard to keep the momentum going for the attendees while enjoying their time in Thailand. We will touch on leadership, managing balance, the importance of goal setting, and why Tal gave us his time to advise for The Entrepreneur House. This I can say was not an easy job. There are literally hundreds of hours of work that goes on behind the scenes keeping a house going and keeping the attendees progressing towards their goals. Tal and I had many meetings and chats about where we could improve the experience of the house and what worked really well…. Tal’s Bio: -Served in the Israeli army. -Worked and lived in over 50 countries. -In 2005, he made a conscious decision to pursue every big dream he had setting 100 Bucketlist goals, and achieving 90 of them as of today. -He has built a home for a family in Peru that lost their home in a mudslide. -He completed a 12,000 km motorcycle journey across Australia. -Trekked to Everest Base Camp in Nepal. -Created an online business making over 6-figures passive income.

 Nathan is an Alumni of The Entrepreneur House in Thailand and the reason we wanted to bring Nathan on the show is for two reasons…. 1. See how much he has progressed with his business since he stayed at The Entrepreneur House in Thailand eight months ago and… 2. Nathan has made the commitment to write a book.   
 Now, someone just stating they are going to write a book may seem like blowing smoke in the wind for many of you, but Nathan will be the second person that has stayed at The Entrepreneur House to write a book. The first was Gregory Dehil whom we featured on a podcast a few weeks ago. Gregory started the idea for a book while staying at The Entrepreneur House in Barcelona back in early 2015. He launched that book just a few weeks ago on May 20th, 2016 and it is now on Amazon’s bestseller list. 
 Today Nathan addresses his business and his idea for a book, what it is about and when he plans on completing it.  Then when it is finished, we will have him back on the podcast to see how he did and let him promote it.  Mentions: Assemble Advisory http://assembleadvisory.com/ -Gregory Diehl and his book 'Brand Identity Breakthrough'. https://brandidentitybreakthrough.com/ -Members of the DC http://www.tropicalmba.com/dc/ Tim Conley http://timconley.co/

108 ~ Brand Identity Breakthrough ~ The New Book to be Launched May 20th ~ Gregory Diehl

Gregory Diehl is a wordsmith, a mentor, and an explainer of how things work. Educational salesmanship and helping businesses clarify their vision and value proposition is his mission. He is also a personal coach, helping people understand their own identity in addition to their brand identity. Diehl is launching a new book called 'Brand Identity Breakthrough' and a book that I highly recommend, which is not common due to the time commitment and the value that you get from most books. His vision helps others take their vision and narrative to the level they are looking for. About two chapters into the book I realized that this book was going to be really good. I also realized it was a book that I will have to listen to more than once. There was just so much to soak up from the content. I really enjoyed it when Diehl spoke of the balance between value and profit. As a seasoned entrepreneur I still have struggles with balancing these two essential categories. Diehl put a new caveat for me on this struggle stating, that if a business is providing value to the marketplace and still struggling then it is lacking on how and where to communicate that value. If a business is communicating to the marketplace and struggling, then their value is lacking. Value and profit are not an either/or, they work hand-in-hand together. “As an entrepreneur ‘value creation’ will always be your first line of defense against business failure” 'Brand Identity Breakthrough' officially launches on May 20th, 2016. You can pick up the audio version and pre-order the Kindle version today. The print and audio versions available now The Kindle version available for pre-order is $.99 before May 20th Official launch is on May 20th, 2016 Website brandidentitybreakthrough.com Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Brand-Identity-Breakthrough-Companys-Irresistible-ebook/dp/B01C37VTAW?ie=UTF8&keywords=brand%20identity%20breakthrough&qid=1463230898&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
