Welcome everybody to Cashflow 2 Freedom!   Today is an incredibly special episode, and this is just part 1. It represents decades of work, time, effort, successes and failures. As you all know, it takes teams of people and years of discipline and hard work to achieve life goals. It’s a journey of ups and downs and one of the most difficult parts about the journey is having the knowledge to be able to execute successfully. The same applies to self storage investing.   This is one of the reasons I decided to put together the guide of all guides - The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage.   As I said, this guide has taken years of experience for myself and my team to be able to put together for you guys, and I couldn’t be more excited to provide this to you all.   This guide walks you through from start to finish - how to identify a potential storage facility, how to analyze markets, the keys to underwriting, acquiring a facility, changing day where you take over the facility. I even provide real examples with real numbers from deals we’ve done to show you exactly how we’ve gone from owning one storage facility, to now owning and operating over 1 Million square feet of storage valued at over $150 Million.   If you’ve been following me or listening to our podcasts for any length of time, you know that I can’t stand “fluff”. The only thing I want to provide is value. I want to provide actionable steps that you can utilize in your investing to help you build and live the life you’ve always dreamed of. This guide is no different and is probably one of the most (if not the most) valuable pieces of work I’ve ever created.   Today’s podcast is a break down, or a sneak peak if you will, of what you can expect to find in this guide. Take notes and get ready to pick up your own copy of The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage.   Pick up your copy of the The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage here https://selfstorageincome.com/   Thanks everybody for listening and for all of the amazing feedback and support. --AJ   **   After you buy the book on Amazon - Make sure you grab your FREE Bonus Investment Calculator by filling out the form on the link below: https://selfstorageincome.com/book-bonus/   **

Welcome back to the Cashflow 2 Freedom Podcast! Our guest for this episode has a unique and totally awesome background who has a wealth of entrepreneurial knowledge and experience. It’s an absolute pleasure to introduce you to Dr. Eric Cole. My introduction here would do little justice, so here it is right from the source - a snippet from his website secure-anchor.com: “World Renowned Cybersecurity Expert with more than 30 years of network security experience, Dr. Eric Cole is a distinguished cybersecurity expert and keynote speaker who helps organizations curtail the risk of cyber threats. Many of the foundational principles of this course and training in cybersecurity were developed by Dr. Cole. He has worked with a variety of clients ranging from Fortune 50 companies, to top international banks, to the CIA, for which he was a professional hacker. While he started his career on the offense, he is now fully dedicated to understanding the adversary so he can provide cost effective solutions that actually work. As a pioneer in the area of cybersecurity he has been inducted into the Infosec hall of Fame, awarded the Cyber Wingman Award from the US Air Force, received multiple accommodations from the CIA and was part of the commission on cybersecurity for President Obama. He has been the featured speaker at many security events and also has been interviewed by several chief media outlets such as CNN, CBS News, FOX New and 60 Minutes.” To say Dr. Cole has an impressive resume would be an understatement. As such, he brings an amazing amount of value to us on this podcast that I’m super excited to share with you guys. Throughout this episode we talk a lot about Dr. Cole’s entrepreneurial journey and the fundamentals of entrepreneurship that apply to all companies, both large and small. We talk about failing your way to success, how exactly he builds his companies and his teams to run them, and what he likes to target in markets specifically to become an industry leader in that given market. This such an awesome episode. Enjoy, take notes, and be sure to connect with Dr. Cole on his website at https://www.secure-anchor.com/ You can also keep up and connect with him on social media by simply searching his name Dr. Eric Cole.

What is going on everybody!? Welcome back to another episode of the Cashflow 2 Freedom podcast. Today, Roc and I have a special episode for you guys that I’m really excited to roll out. We all want to do great things, but how do we start? How do we get going and how do we get going on the right path to our goal of financial freedom? Whether you’re starting a business, investing, or working a career, it’s not always a clear cut path from where you’re at to where you want to be. One of the huge topics of discussion today is perspective and being able to recognize current opportunities. We give several examples of how perspective and knowing when there’s opportunity or not, can either make or break what it is that you want to execute on. Whether we like to admit it or not, understanding timing of opportunity is critical to our success or our failure. We also touch base on being able to select the correct wealth vehicles to then be able to attain our visions of success. The path and the vehicle we choose, needs to align with the goal or vision that we’ve set for ourselves. This can be more tricky than it seems a lot of times and something we dissect in the episode as well. It takes time, work, discipline and execution to get where we want to be. For most of you listening, that means being in control of your life and your finances, it means having financial freedom. It's an amazing process and one we’re excited to share with you. Thanks for listening everybody, AJ
