Welcome back to the show and Merry Christmas!! I'm recording this two-part series that we're going to share with you over the next two episodes on Christmas Eve! I want to talk about a quote that I saw yesterday that just affected me in a profound way. I kept reading it, kept thinking about it and I thought it would be a great little segment here. It's a quote from Pablo Picasso that says, "The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." That's what we are going to talk about in the next two episodes, starting with the second part, the purpose of life is to give it away...give your knowledge away. Let's get started!

I'm here dropping off our Christmas cards to me and my wife's business and personal network. Truthfully, when you do what I do, everything is personal, so my business associates are my personal friends too. It got me thinking about some people that we haven't talked to for a long time but we still send out cards, trying to maintain relationships. That made me realize how important networking is to my business and honestly to my joy in life, so that's what we are going to talk about today. How networking can impact your business in a very significant way!

Yo Freedom Fighters! It's way too easy these days, with social media, to compare ourselves to other people. Problem is, we're usually comparing 'the best' of someone else to 'the worst' of ourselves.

I'm excited to share this lesson with you...let's give it a listen....

2018 Top 10 Award Winner: Felipe Boss and Jesus Toledo! This is episode #441, and my guests today are partners Felipe Boss and Jesus Toledo. Most real estate investors, myself included, are guilty of focusing on the easy route as it comes to lead generation and acquisitions. Mass approaches to marketing such as direct mail are alive and well, but not performing as well as they used to.

If you're a veteran investor that’s been willing to spend big money on lead generation, this is also good for you…as you have the resources to get this done.

2018 Top 10 Award Winner: Jason McDougall! This is episode #400, and today’s guest is my friend Jason McDougall. Many new real estate investors that are successful end up working long hours, and doing everything themselves. It’s not easy to build a business from scratch, and also have the resources to afford to have others to outsource some of your tasks to. Aside from that, many investors feel that they can do certain tasks better than anyone they’d outsource them to. Here’s a fact…that may be true. However, if you're doing everything in your business…the business owns you, not the other way around. Jason is an up and coming investor, and is well on his way to financial freedom through real estate investing. But, he’s having some growing pains to go from a one man band to a business owner. Today he shares his lessons learned, and we discuss his go-forward plans. You're going to learn a lot from our discussions…don't miss this show! Please help me welcome Jason McDougall to the show!
