They also share ways to start and then replicate a successful entrepreneurial business model.

Barrie Gaubert, Real Estate Investor from the Land Down Under proves one sure thing. No matter where we stand on this earth, we're gonna need a place to live, work, play and lay! In this Cash Flow Diary podcast episode, we explore the similarities and differences in investing in the U.S. vs. investing in Australia. If you've ever wondered how international investing works, this is a must-hear episode. Barrie is an expert investor with a big banking background. He knows what's what in Aussie lending. You'll learn about the restrictions for non-resident investors and how you can still play in that pool without getting penalized. You'll also learn that just like here in the States, non-bank lending is a benefit to investors. You'll get a little insight into how that works and why it's important to understand as an investor. You even learn about the benefits of having a VISA… not the credit card! You'll walk away with a whole lot of useful information about international re

“You can’t handle the truth!” Okay, yes, you can. In fact, you need to hear the truth, especially as an entrepreneur and investor. I just wanted to share that famous line from the movie A Few Good Men. Talking about good men, I recently had the honor of speaking with Scott Fussell, the host of a great podcast, “Command Your Business.” Give it a listen. You will learn a lot. Scott works with veterans who want to learn more about becoming entrepreneurs. This is becoming more and more important as our troops continue drawing down in Iraq and other regions. These soldiers will leave military life and enter the workforce here in the States. What will they do, especially if there aren’t good jobs? The transition from military life to the American workforce can be rough as these brave men and women go from a very regimented lifestyle to one where they get to make all the decisions for themselves. However, Six Sigma Black belt Scott Fussell says many of these veterans have the exact skills needed to be successful ent

Mark Waldman says what we fear and worry about are just fantasies. But so are our positive thoughts! He tells us how to get beyond our anxieties and even shares a few cool exercises we can do to diminish them in any setting. Who is Mark Waldman? You may have seen him in Oprah magazine and many other nationally recognized publications, or maybe you’ve seen one of his 12 books wherever books are sold. In fact, you may have heard about him from Oprah, because she picked his book, How God Changes Your Brain, which must be pretty exciting! A member of Loyola Marymount University’s faculty, Mark is one of the world’s leading experts on communication, spirituality and the brain. In this very special episode of Cash Flow Diary, Mark shares just a little of what he knows about the brain to help us understand why we act the way we act and why we make the choices that we do.

What would Dr. Jeffrey Fannin know about thoughts and how they can hold us back? He is an absolute brain expert. A brain trainer in cognitive enhancement studies, Dr. Fannin is highly accredited to talk about our brains. His research goes beyond recovery after brain injury and disorders of the brain. He teaches others how to think differently to achieve what they SAY they want. Achievement and success start in the brain... with an idea. But what then? Action steps. (You had to know that was coming.) Your mindset matters. Why do we do what we do? That is the question that pushed Dr. Fannin to pursue his path in brain studies. While he began as a airline pilot who was laid off and then took a more traditional path to earn his PhD in psychology, he went on to ask the larger questions. He wasn't satisfied with just helping his clients change their lives by changing their patterns of thought. He wanted to do more... and help more people. Now he does brain mapping and can explain the science behind grey matter

Chatting with Jim Bunch was an eye-opening experience for me. I learned a few things and you will, too. Listen in to hear us discuss the four levels of wealth. What are they? Repair and Recovery, Foundation, Resources and Mastery. Jim has a lot to say about these levels and how we can turn our lives around to reach the success and wealth we desire. He calls it living life by design! We talk about cash flow creation, too. Jim says that there is a path we must follow that leads to wealth. I won’t give it away here, but can say that managing the areas of our lives leads to cash flow creation, which in turn leads to financial freedom! Oh, and it takes action on our part. The difference between those who succeed and those who just wish their lives could change is that the successful take action. Like Jim says, they DO something. If opportunities are laid at your feet and you do nothing, it’s guaranteed that nothing will change. Jim will be up on stage with me as one of John Assaraf’s guest speakers at the upcoming

There truly are ways to get money to come knocking at your front door. (Or maybe just call you a few times a month.) It's called "referrals." It doesn't happen immediately for new investors, but it will happen over time if you take the right action steps. In J.'s patented Carefrontation™ approach, he tells audience members at the recent Phoenix investors event, "If you are having trouble Raising Private Capital, there is a reason. You aren't doing something RIGHT NOW that you should be." What makes J. THE go-to person in getting deals done is not some magic dust. What got him to this point is exactly what you need to be doing RIGHT NOW and every day as an investor. You have to make decisions, which means to cut off other paths and options, and take action day after day after day. You have to make calls to lots of people, especially in the beginning. You will call sellers and buyers. You will talk to investors. That's how it works. That's how J. gets to other p

It's HOT in Phoenix, but we're not just talking about the temperature outside. There are lots of real estate deals in Phoenix and people interested in investing. J. Massey spoke to a full house in Phoenix over the past weekend, and talked to them about taking action and doing the follow-up required in doing deals. Listen in as J. delivers his message of DO IT NOW. DON'T WAIT. He's talking about following through and implementing what you learn immediately. He talks about Raising Private Capital, too, and hints about the LIVE WEBINAR you need to attend June 5th at 5 p.m., PST! You guessed it. That'll be on www.cashflowdiary.TV. J. also talks about how to simplify investing and how you need to take action without fear of bad things happening. Listen as you hear J. coach members of the audience to make actual calls during the event. Talk about an eye-opener, you can hear a pin drop as the audience becomes aware of what they need to do to make change happen. What they learn is what you ne

Ever wonder where the U.S. dollar might be headed and what might happen next? Who will save the day? The answers may surprise you as you listen to the Sovereign Man himself, Simon Black. But first, he tells us about farming as a unique asset class and why he invests in productive agricultural real estate. Right now, he’s involved in a $35M project in Chile!

You will definitely want to take notes or listen to this episode more than once!

It takes a lot of drive and passion to be a noted contender in SEVEN Ironman competitions, but that’s what defines Australia’s Phil Richards, one of the most energetic serial entrepreneurs I’ve ever met. His drive and determination as an entrepreneur started early in life. Phil launched his first successful company at the age of 25. This would be one of nine successful ventures. Among them are names you might recognize: Vision Specialists Optometrists, Healthy Tasty & Fast, Smart Payroll, PetBox, Dreamfunda and MOBIT. Phil says he truly enjoys starting new businesses, but tells us that he couldn’t do it without good teams. (Sound familiar?) Listen as Phil talks about team building, cash flow creation through putting automated systems in place and about how having faith in the future are all necessary ingredients to reach success in any business. Phil also talks about the importance of embracing the newest marketing technologies and how it can boost cash flow. He also shares points from his Entrepreneurs C

Former military man Douglas Burdett is from a military family. Generations of leaders came before him in his lineage. But he found he wasn’t passionate about that path. When he got out of the Army, Douglas attended a great business school and explored his passions to find the one that hit him hardest. He found it. Advertising! Leveraging his background in the military, he created an ad to send to top ad agencies on the east coast. It read, “Ready, Aim, Hire!” It worked. Douglas worked at two of the best-known agencies in New York. Eventually he would start his own agency, and he had to keep up with all the changes. He embraced new Internet strategies, including marketing-focused blogs. He chose niches he understands well. For example, publishing content for defense contractors, which unintentionally became a teaching tool for others who want to create blogs with specialized content that attracts targeted customers and clients. Douglas found a way to serve others, which is the secret to success as an entrepren

What does a former successful New York reporter and TV anchor who took a four-week break from her career to clear her head know about helping you find your path? A truckload of great information! Joleene Moody was that TV news personality, and while her career was going great guns she wasn't ever really satisfied with her choice of profession. She knew she was meant for something different, but didn't take action to find that path till a traumatic event forced her to take time off and think about her life. What a difference four weeks can make! The result is that she "got clear" and decided to become a speaker who could teach others how to find their paths.
