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

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

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!

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

Anyone who knows about me also knows that I used Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow 101 board game to build my business. It is probably the best networking tool I've found that brings likeminded individuals together. Black Friday is the anniversary of the first time my wife Popi and I played the game for the first time. That's why every year on Black Friday we host a game. Every year the number of people who participate grows. We are truly grateful that so many people are interested in learning the game and playing the game with us. This year we're doing it a little differently. Because I am so very thankful for everything that the game has brought into my life and the lives of my loved ones, I'm hosting a huge, live game in Orange County this Black Friday that officially starts at 11 a.m., PST, and goes for about three hours.

Entrepreneurial-minded and highly energetic, Jaime Tardy always wanted to be wealthy. However, she didn't know how to get there. She was stuck in a 9-to-5 job that she did not hate and that paid her really well, yet she wasn't satisfied. She had to figure a few things out, like what the path might look like to her. She began attending networking events. Then she started having conversations with actual millionaires. She developed a plan and stuck to it. Now this Eventual Millionaire author has a lot to share with us about how to become one of the successful entrepreneurs of the world and create lots of cashflow doing it. Her story isn't like any you've heard, but there is one thing you will have heard time and time again here on the Cash Flow Diary podcast. Jaime had to change her mindset before she could change her life. Learning to exercise her genius to get her to her goals was imperative. Action steps were absolutely necessary. She calls it finding her "inner why." Then she p

Sacramento is more than just the capital of the great Golden State of California; it's the home to Capital City Wealth Builders Real Estate Club. We captured J. Massey LIVE at one of the group's killer events recently, and now you get to listen in. If you want to know how to raise private capital for your deals you'll want to tune in and take notes. J. shares lots of investor insider tips and tactics in this special Cash Flow Diary podcast episode. Even if you've heard him speak on this topic before, it's a sure bet you'll learn something new or understand what he's telling you to do even better now. That's the funny thing about information. The more times over it, the more we retain what we learn! How to raise private capital is one of the questions J. hears most often. Whether the question comes in during his live weekly Q & A with J. (every Tuesday at 4 p.m., PST, on www.cashflowdiary.TV), in email, via phone conversations or in person, J. answers by sharing his

When it comes to success, gratitude is ultimately part of the journey. Or at least is should be. That’s what Cash Flow Diary podcast guest Austin Netzley shares in this viewpoint in this intriguing interview. Austin knows what he’s talking about, because he interviewed 75 successful entrepreneurs who all say the same thing. Plus, Austin is a mighty grateful individual himself! What about? Getting out of college and landing a great job. But then he realized that something was wrong with his life’s picture. He had worked hard through school and was working harder in the job... yet he was broke. He had landed smack dab in the middle of the rat race and he knew he had to change his mindset to change his life’s path. It took him a little while to get there, because he was comfortable for his first few years. After all, he may have been deeply in debt, but he was earning six figures. A lot of people would want what he had. Who was he to lack joy in his career? But he wasn't happy. He wanted to do something dif

Each week, J. Massey answers viewers' questions in real time on his LIVE online Q & A with J show on www.cashflowdiary.TV. But this live Q & A is something a little different, because J. answers questions in front of a live audience in Phoenix during a special educational event where he was invited to teach investors about raising private capital and all sorts of topics in Real Estate Investing. This no-holds-barred Q & A opens investors' eyes across the room as J. seamlessly answers any and all of their questions. J. fields every type of investor issue the audience members and live-streamed viewers could throw at him. He rips deals apart, too. It's something you won't want to miss. You'll hear some pen-on-paper scribbling in the audio. That's J. writing out supportive points and doing the math on his big paper-and-easel set up! If you want to see what that looks like, be sure to join the next live Q & A with J... Tuesdays at 4 p.m., PST, on www.cashflowdiary.TV!

It's not what happens to you but rather how you react to what happens to you that counts! That's what we learn today from Cash Flow Diary podcast guest, Nick Ruiz, a true business Phoenix who rose from the ashes not just once but a couple of times. He went on to create a whole lot of success in his life through Real Estate and entrepreneurial efforts because he learned to focus on solving problems before finding deals. (Sound familiar?) This amazing author and dot-connector started buying and selling for profit early on. In high school he helped his pals by selling their stuff. Then he turned his attention to Real Estate Investing. He was just 19 when he bought a no-money-down training program that he saw on late-late-night TV. However, after he listened to it once, he put it away for a while, because he didn't feel he could actually take the steps he needed to take. Then he thought better of it and pulled the program out again. He knew there was something about Real Estate that would change hi

Getting to this point and the final audio book version of Cash Flow Diary: 10 Steps to Creating Wealth in ANY Economy!  was a very long process, but we got there! Why do I say "we"? It took a few people and a bit of assistance to create a great final product! I learned one thing for sure. Reading one's own words is a bit more challenging than I thought. Not to mention, I realized it was going to take a lot more time than I thought to get great sound. With all that's going on around Cash Flow Diary I had to make a choice. You know how I always tell you that even if you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD be the one to do it? This is one of those situations. I found someone who does voiceover work as a profession and he is really good. You might recognize his voice. I read the introduction and I recorded BONUS SECTIONS. That was fun for me to do, because the additional content is unscripted and gives even more benefit to my readers. I love audio books, because I can put my ear buds

Massey. he shares a few really cool "ninja secrets" in how to generate leads, where to find them in the first place, what to do when you get them and how to take the next steps.

In my book I talk about how you have a big bargaining chip with land owners when you have something to offer... like let's say when you raise sheep. For example, if the dollar decays you'll always have something to trade for room and board, because the sheep offers use value in its wool. Other livestock offer lots of use value, too. Today's Cash Flow Diary podcast guest Wardee Harmon puts a real-world spin on this notion. This author, educator and organically grown entrepreneur shares about her journey into raising livestock and how her organic garden grows. She tells us why she got into it, keeps doing it and why we might just want to do the same. Wardee also tells us what you should consider before putting food in your mouth that you purchased at the grocery store. As you listen you will understand what all of this has to do with Real Estate Investing and entrepreneurial lessons. There are plenty. Wardee show us that there are lots of clever and profitable ways to use Real Estate while solvin

Want to know how to quit working so hard for so little reward? Tired of working for detestable bosses? Listen to this episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast. Even if you’re making good money, you may not be happy in what you’re doing. There are reasons. In this episode, guest Jeff Steinmann asks you if you hate a job… why not quit? Is it fear about what waits for you on the other side of that decision? And how do you get over your fears anyway? That’s what Jeff helps us understand in this mind-blowing, change-making interview. Jeff tells you how to get to the place you really want to be… which probably isn’t listening to your boss’s boss’s boss rant and rave during workplace meetings. When it comes to this topic, Jeff was in that spot once. Though he made a great living and was working his way up the corporate ladder in his job, he knew he couldn’t continue on that path. He wasn’t happy. The moment of truth came when he witnessed one of his top bosses just two weeks away from the man’s retirement yelling and

Ideas abound. In fact, there is no shortage of ideas... ever! That's what Cash Flow Diary podcast guest and serial entrepreneur Toby Salgado talks with me about in this incredibly insightful interview. Toby took his first steps into entrepreneurship and sales at the tender age of 9 when he sold toilet bowl cleaners door to door, offering a double-your-money-back guarantee. Let's just say he's a natural! Later his experiences would lead him to open not just one but several successful businesses. There are reasons. That's what Toby teaches others and talks about in this episode. For example, taking action steps and executing on your ideas. Does that sound familiar? I found myself nodding a lot as Toby answered my questions, because his viewpoints and mine are much the same. It's pretty exciting to hear someone else say the things I always tell others! For example, Toby says your net worth is reflected by your network. Hey, it's true. But he doesn't stop there. He shares a coup

This Cash Flow Diary podcast episode continues from Monday's episode as you learn more about my Investor Identity, how to determine yours and why that's important, why the deal comes last and only after you have determined your Identity and market, why your are looking for problems and not properties, and why it's so important to your success to invest more time in giving others something than trying to sell them something. There are a number of stealth "ninja secrets" in this episode, plus you get some insider tips on how to create even more cashflow in your multi-family properties! That's not all.

Not only does Ace Chapman have a really cool name he also does something really cool for people looking for businesses that produce cashflow. He connects them with businesses up for sale that are right for their goals. He talks to us about micro-private equity funds, greed, the criteria involved in buying and selling businesses, and a whole lot more. Ace had an interest in business early on, getting his first taste for it when he sold his Kindergarten pictures at church. From there his passion for business grew. He learned to listen for problems he could solve for sellers (sound familiar?) and how to raise capital to purchase businesses. His first deal came when he was in college and learned what “LBO” meant and why it’s so important. (It’s a Leveraged Buy Out and it is a critical concept when buying businesses.) Ace hit plenty of walls, but he kept going. He knew that if he could buy this first business it would change his life. He was right! It put him on his current path, helping lots and lots of other peo

Ever wondered where your audience is so you can find them and share your message with them? Cash Flow Diary Podcast guest Adam Hommey has the answers. He tells us how to communicate with those you seek to serve in your business (otherwise known as customers and clients) and where they can be found. Here’s a hint: Online! Adam helps people just like you build a better business through sharing their messages in really smart ways using the latest technologies, tactics and a good dose of social media. In fact, he has a passion for helping others, and he doesn’t stop there. He is also the creator and founder of www.HelpMyWebsiteSell.com, which is just one of his successful businesses. A serial entrepreneur, Adam didn’t exactly plan to be on the path he is today. In fact, he initially wanted to be an attorney, but something in him was screaming that there had to be something different that was a better fit. He couldn’t see himself as a lawyer, but he didn’t know what he wanted to be. He graduated with a degree in p

Craig Ballantyne has helped lots and lots of individuals get fit and become the people they really want to be. We aren’t just talking about getting in better physical condition or losing excess pounds either! Craig lives by what he calls “extreme example” and says that while he doesn’t expect everyone else to do exactly as he does, he hopes what he does inspires others to take action… whatever that looks like for them. Craig is often called the most disciplined man in the room, and he earned that moniker for a reason. He is highly disciplined. What turned him into this passionate powerhouse of fitness? Craig says his earliest memory of being aware of how important transformation is to us as human beings is of his own mother who was frustrated with her weight-loss program. So what is Craig’s current goal? Helping 10,000,000 people transform their lives. I’m pretty sure he’ll get there, too! Watching his journey – from starting a simple (but really, really good) fitness newsletter that he emailed out manually i
