EP171: These 4 Words Will Take You To Your Promise Land in 2018: CLARITY, FOCUS, EXECUTION, & CONSISTENCY

Every year, Alex takes time to reflect on the good and the bad of the business and sets his new intentions for the new year. For this year's theme, he has four words to help him: Clarity, Focus, Execution, and Consistency. When setting goals for 2018, make sure there's a strong meaning and 'why' behind them. If things get tough and you don't have the motivation to complete the tasks, your why is going to be what brings you back and pushing through the discomfort. Key Takeaways: Every year Alex takes time to reflect on his business. What worked and what didn't work. The word for 2017 was 'consistency' and followed through on this theme. This year's theme comes in four words: Clarity, Focus, Execution, and Consistency. There are two main things Alex wants to focus on this year — growing his wholesaling business and serving you through this podcast. With any business it can be boiled down to 3 things: lead generation, lead conversion, increasing your margins. This year, Alex will have 4x the output he did in 2017. After reading Traction, Alex is now implementing an EOS coach for the team. When you look at your goals for 2018, ask yourself, "What's going to be different?" Alex wants to become a better leader this year and empower his team. He wants them to become better leaders and better versions of themselves. When you empower your team, don't take that autonomy away. Allow them to make mistakes. Consistency is still so critical in everything that you do. That's why it still remains in Alex's theme for this year! Make sure you have a strong 'why' behind your goals. This will help keep you motivated! Push yourself when you don't feel like working on a task. You will feel better after you complete it! Mentioned in This Episode: Get to know more of the nation's elite Real Estate Investors Here.

EP170: Tracy Royce on Transitioning to Real Estate Full-Time, Building a Rock Star Team, & Other Valuable Advice You Must Hear

Tracy Royce is the Owner of Royce of Real Estate and she is currently based out of Arizona. For a long time, Tracy worked behind the scenes in real estate before branching out and doing her own business. On today's show, Tracy shares advice on how to safely quit your day job and transition yourself into real estate full-time without living paycheck to paycheck. We go into business for ourselves to build a lifestyle we want, so be smart and find creative ways to get things done with the time you have. Key Takeaways: Who is Tracy and how did she get started in real estate? If you want to level up in this business, don't be afraid to reach out to other investors. We're nice! It's about developing a give and take relationship. You can't be the one just taking and taking. When should someone go full-time in this business and leave their job? Think about your future before you quit. If two to three deals don't go through, will you still be okay financially? Instead of quitting your job, get creative with your time. Don't put yourself in a position where you need the money so badly that you are willing to make bad decisions. Don't get too comfortable with the automation. Knock on some doors and get yourself physically out there. TV shows might make this appear sexy, but at the end of the day it's still a business and you do sometimes have to grind through to get what you want. How does Tracy structure her team and business? Tracy loves hiring virtual assistants. Tracy has processes and standard operating procedures (SOPs) in place to help set her employees up for success. Before Alex knew better, he hired fast and fired slow. This approach obviously ended up to be very costly for him. What were some of the mistakes Tracy made along the way when it came to hiring and building a team? Sometimes people are really great on paper, but end up being a mess when they get their feet running. It's so easy to grind and hustle on the business, but remember why you opened one in the first place… to have freedom! You only get one life, so set yourself up so that you enjoy the journey and what you do. What's the one piece of advice Tracy would give to her 20-year-old self?

EP169: Gold Gems from a High-Level Mastermind

Alex recently attended the Collective Genius Mastermind and he was blown away by the brain power in that room. Alex heard a talk from Darren Hardy, who shared excellent advice and tips on how to be a more mindful and productive business owner. On today's show, Alex shares some of his key takeaways that he's learned from the event. Key Takeaways: Alex recently went to the Collective Genius Mastermind in San Diego. Insane FOCUS on a few things is paramount to your level of success. How much money do you really lose by not being focused? Whenever you have a distraction, it takes you 23 minutes for you to regain focus back on your task. Come up with a list of things you need to stop doing. What is Warren Buffett's key to success? Saying NO! What are Darren Hardy's vital strengths as a person? As an entrepreneur that wears so many hats, write down all of your priorities. Narrow that list down to 2-3 top priorities, and then, scrap everything else. Try the Pomodoro technique and carve out 90-minute intervals where you focus on one thing for those 90 minutes. You need to get clear on your vision, mission, and purpose. If you aren't sure, then you gotta take a few steps back and get this piece correct. It's the foundation of your business. Alex is excited to be implementing EOS this new year to improve his business. The Flip Empire Inner Circle Want to close more deals and generate more revenue? Have questions you want to ask me?

Tim Bratz invested in his first house in 2009 and now currently holds over 500 rental units in his own portfolio. He was a solopreneur up until a few years ago, but now with a team backing him, he is able to buy, renovate, and sell over 100 properties per year. On the show, Tim shares an important lesson on why he thought that paying $30,000 for a basketball event was absolutely ridiculous, at first, but by asking the right questions and changing his perspective, he ended up making over $700,000 in business by attending that event. Key Takeaways: Who is Tim and what does his business look like today? Instead of making statements, try to ask better questions instead. Tim shares a story about how he changed his mindset and ended up paying $30,000 for a basketball game. He was able to raise $700,000 for a deal because of it. Stop looking at everything as an expense. Instead, look at how you can invest your money wisely.

Tim discusses what steps he took that ended up tripling his income. Tim shares how he structures his partnerships and splits the profit with his partners. Paying the investor is more important than the deal itself. Don't burn those bridges. Tim works in Ohio, Georgia, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania. They're usually townhouses or apartment buildings. Don't get tripped up on the details. Build up your experience, build up your resume, and then adjust accordingly. It's not hard to do private money if you have these three factors: A solid deal, a great return, and a good reputation. How can someone break into a private money market? You don't have to hustle your face off and grind to create passive income. Tim shares a few action steps you can take right now to get started with private money. Tim paid for a $30,000 mastermind group. It was a tough expense to swallow, but the investment has paid back immensely. What's one piece of advice Tim would give to his 25-year-old self?

EP165: Awesome Takeaways from the Holiday Mastermind — Part 2

Welcome back! Alex continues the second part of the show by talking about the takeaways he's learned from the holiday mastermind. If you missed the first part, be sure to listen to episode 163 before listening to this one! One of the biggest things Alex learned was from Mark Evans, who said that he's always looking for ways to pay more for things, not less. What does he mean by that? The essence is to stop trying to get everything so cheap. You gotta stop trying to pay your staff and the people you work with less than their worth. It's only going to lead to bad business. Key Takeaways: If you missed last week's episode, be sure to listen to Episode 163 to catch up! Alex does a very quick recap. #8 - How do you keep your team accountable? At the end of the day, the true accountability is in hiring an A player who knows how to keep themselves accountable. Give them a job description and some KPIs and then let them do what they do best. The moment you realize you don't have the right person on your team, let them go. Don't hold on. It's tough, but it needs to be done. #9 - Stop paying attention to social media! Not everything you see on social media is real. How can you better use that time to improve yourself instead of focusing on the lives of others? #10 - How can you make your team members more successful? Mark Evans is constantly looking for ways to pay more for things, not less, because he wants to help make his team more successful. Disclaimer: Don't spend money away carelessly with no thought. That's not what Mark and Alex mean by spending more! #11 - Get comfortable with feeling uncomfortable. When you feel uncomfortable/pain, it usually means you're growing as a person. By the way, Alex is hiring! If you're local in the South Florida area, email Alex! Happy New Year! Just remember, you gotta put in the time and work hard.

EP164: Adrian Nez on How to Balance Your Life and Grow Your Business — Part 2

Adrian Nez is a real estate investor and works with Trevor Mauch at Investor Carrot. He is an expert at online lead generation and conversion optimization. Last week's master class episode focused on the balance of living life and running a business, but this week Alex and Adrian will be getting into how to market more effectively to your ideal clients. The standard marketing tactics just don't work anymore, you gotta get smarter and stand out from your competition! Key Takeaways: Be sure to listen to Episode 162! Alex does a quick recap on what you might have missed. Some people focus too much on the platforms instead of the marketing 101s. Do you have a traffic problem or a conversion problem? That's what you need to figure out first. As people and marketers, we tend to blame the tools but never ourselves. Who is your ideal customer? What's their true problem? Don't overlook the customer. Sellers are suspicious of us. What we're offering sounds too good to be true, so it's important to take a step back and understand the psychology of a motivated seller. There are news pieces that run all the time about the dangers of Craigslist and cold call scammers. People are more educated now. The markets tactics that worked 10 years ago, just don't work anymore because everyone is doing it. Put your customer in the forefront and you'll have an easier time figuring out where and how to market to them. How do you discover who your ideal customer is? Adrian shares some of his ad retargeting tips. The Flip Empire Inner Circle Want to close more deals and generate more revenue? Have questions you want to ask me?

EP162: Adrian Nez on How to Balance Your Life and Grow Your Business — Part 1

Adrian Nez is a real estate investor and works with Trevor Mauch at Investor Carrot. He is an expert at online lead generation and conversion optimization. On today's episode, Alex decided to split Adrian's interview into two parts. This first part dives into Adrian's personal journey. He reveals that he stopped trusting in God when he became successful and that was a big, big mistake. The second episode dives into Adrian's expertise, inbound marketing, and how he uses it to grow his business. Key Takeaways: Adrian shares his story on this week's episode and really get personal with some of the mistakes he's made. This is why Alex has broken the interview up into two parts. Part 1 will dive into Adrian's journey and how to structure balance in your life and part 2 will be diving into how you can grow your business through inbound marketing. Who is Adrian and how did he get into real estate? Adrian's inbound marketing career started at Investor Carrot, which is Trevor Mauch's company (Trevor has been a guest on the show). Anytime you serve, you're sowing seeds for your future. When you have faith in God, He will always deliver. It wasn't easy for Adrian to pack up and move to West Virginia, but he knew he had a calling and God was sending him a message. He believes sometimes people ignore those messages because they're afraid of the unknown. You need to have faith He will take care of you. With that being said, Adrian was working very hard and he began to lose focus on what really mattered. The relationship with his wife ended up suffering for it. Unless you keep a solid relationship with God, everything else begins to crumble and that was Adrian's downfall. He stopped trusting in God. Adrian trusted Him when he didn't know where to go, but then when success came his way, he lost his way. It's important to surround yourself with the right people who share your same values and understand what it's like running a business. It's also important to be transparent about the struggles you're going through. It helps others not feel 'so alone.' Sometimes people don't share these personal struggles because they feel as though they need to think positive, but Adrian admits that's just not the reality for people going through hard times. You gotta talk about it and get support. Adrian highly recommends watching the ESPN documentary about Ric Flair. His passion ended up being his disease. Any business owner can relate to Ric's story. Find a mentor that's 2-3 years ahead of you. They can still teach you what they're great at because it's so fresh for them. Don't let your ambition and vision be turned into a curse 20 or 30 years down the line. The Flip Empire Inner Circle Want to close more deals and generate more revenue?
