We’re approaching the 10th straight week of a fall in the market, and even though we haven’t hit bear market territory, we’re darn close.  Like most, you’re asking yourself “is this the buying opportunity I’ve been waiting for?”  There’s blood in the streets, and everyone says you should take advantage of dips, but buying stocks right now is a trap. There’s still a market free fall on the horizon, and you don’t want to be caught in the downturn.  In this episode, I’m going to tell you why you shouldn’t follow anyone investing in the stock market right now and why that move will only lead to catastrophe.

Market cycles are unavoidable, and some investors emerge out of the volatility wealthier, while others lose everything. What separates the two?    Financial intelligence, and being well aware of the forces, levers and complexities that feed into the market.    Without this insight, it’s impossible to know when you’re making a detrimental move that will end in a painful loss.    Can we ride the wave of chaos without crossing into dangerous territory?    In this episode, I’m joined by high performance real estate entrepreneur, Tyler Chesser.

From the day we’re born, a set of beliefs is plugged into us, and it governs a lot about our lives, like how we earn money, and whether or not we can build wealth.  We’re taught to put money in the bank, trade dollars for hours, and hopefully increase what we earn for that unit of time, but what if everything we’ve been taught is wrong? What if it’s all based on falsehoods and failed dreams?  The wealthy have figured this out. They stopped conforming to these beliefs and changed the trajectory of their lives by changing one thing about their money.  In this episode, I’m going to share exactly what the wealthy do differently and how you can emulate it.    Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  The first rule of wealthWhat’s the very first step we have to take to start putting our money to work for us?

If you buy into today’s hyped up, popular wealth-building advice, success is an NFT or quick scheme away, but all this fanfare isn’t backed up by the fundamentals. People give up on a business when it doesn’t make money right out the gate. Their timelines are too short, and worst of all, they aren’t designing the business to weather the storm.  The journey to financial freedom isn’t sexy, it’s built on consistency.

Millions of corporate workers dream of investing but never take the first step out of fear. Before Mike Simmons became the successful seven-figure investor he is today, he procrastinated for 5 years and missed out on $3 million dollars.    So many people have a ton of excuses for not taking action - no money, time or a fear of what other people would think, but procrastination isn’t a victimless crime.    How do you get started right now and find the resources you need?

Distressed properties may be hard to come by now, but they will be plentiful in the near future. When the market turns, there’ll be hundreds of properties ripe for acquisition.

Most investors are looking for a model that isn’t as energy draining as flips and wholesaling, or as risky as the stock market, but we never really think of new builds. We all see builders and think what they do is untouchable, that it’s too expensive, and it involves too many moving pieces.    But what if you could make it happen with one project, one set of contractors and one job site? In today’s episode, I’m joined by an entrepreneur who’s teaching beginners exactly how to do this, with very little up-front cost.    Through multiple market events, he’s been hardened by failure and has a lot of wisdom every investor needs to listen to.     What makes this model way less stressful?

Everything we’re seeing in the market right now - the inflation, speculation and irrational investing is the sign of our times. We’re in a super bubble, a circumstance rivaled only by the lead up to The Great Depression.    Before you think that the government is worried about the inflation hitting your dollars, you have to remember that the Fed created this situation and thrives on it. Those who keep buying into the lie that the market’s doing well are just part of the game, and when the music stops, they’ll be left holding the bag (a considerably less valuable one).    How do you avoid becoming one of these people? Can the Fed be trusted to have our best interests at heart? In this episode, I’m going to talk about this super bubble we’re currently in, and the pin that will pop it.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - anyone who believes that this market will keep going up is either reckless or downright delusional.    We’re staring down the barrel of the next Great Depression, and what’s coming won’t be pretty, but there are still many investors exposing themselves to unnecessary risk.    How do you increase your chance of success in this knife edge market?

A lot of investors stay in the lane of what they know and when the environment around them changes, they fail to act and pivot. This is the most dangerous market to operate in this way. Monetary policy, inflation and war - these are just a few of the factors putting massive pressure on the economy and our investments.    You don’t need a crystal ball to see where we’re headed financially, and if you’re not nimble and investing in stress-tested deals, you’ll learn a painful lesson the hard way.    How is a seasoned investor who lived through the Recession (and the speculative market highs that preceded it) preparing his portfolio for what’s coming?

It’s hard to imagine a wholesale deal ever making more money than a flip, but when you follow the first rule of wealth, anything is possible.  At the heart of a successful wholesale strategy is one fundamental truth - if you can solve people’s problems, your business instantly becomes more valuable. Jeremy and Shelly Beland aren’t approaching real estate the way a typical investor or agent would, they are helping distressed property owners at a time they need the most support, and the market is thanking them for it.

Everyone’s an investor these days, but when it comes to really solving a problem and truly setting themselves up for wealth, they are competing in a crowded market - swimming in red, shark-infested waters.     There is an emerging, blue ocean strategy packed with motivated seller leads that no one is pursuing - senior homeowners. As parents reach old age, people have to deal with the challenges of getting them into an assisted living community and paying for it.    For the right entrepreneur, this is a great lead source and an opportunity to help families who really need it.    What makes this niche so great for generating quality leads? Why do we have to avoid calling ourselves investors when we’re talking to senior sellers and their families?   In this episode, I’m joined by founder and CEO of Mom’s House, Phillip Vincent.

If you’ve worked hard, made smart choices and built some wealth, it’s more than likely that your kids will never have to worry about money a single day in their lives.  But here’s the problem:  Giving them everything and not instilling the right values in them WILL destroy them. It’s easy to give them the keys to the money, what’s really hard is teaching them to respect it and understand how it’s earned.  What are some of the big mistakes that turn kids into spoiled brats?

If you’re not really paying attention, the economy looks pretty great right now, but if you’re a student of history, there’s nothing to celebrate.    Signs of a looming economic storm are everywhere, and contrary to what many believe, there’s nothing different about this market from the times before the Great Depression, the dot-com bubble and The Great Recession.    Economic cycles are inevitable and inescapable, and all signs point to a huge paradigm shift. What are some of the huge red flags we should be paying attention to? How do we get on the right side of financial history?    In this episode, I’m going to take you through the history of the economy, and show you why the present day is awfully similar to the late 1920s.  Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode    A necessary lesson on debt cyclesFinancial markets aren’t just ruled by short-term cycles, there are generational cycles at play too.

Who we are is what we do every single day. The rules of success are simple: our actions are either constructive or destructive, effective or ineffective - there is no in between.    Most people don’t have a framework or structure for their habits, so they stay stuck, frustrated, and wanting to achieve their goals without knowing how.   How do we break our bad habits and start focusing on the actionable steps that take us to excellence?

From the day we take our first breaths in this world, we’re to work hard, do what we’re told, conform and give up control.     We’re conditioned to buy into a broken mentality and accept a set of rules that will never, ever make us wealthy or free. The banks, the government, the financial advisors - it’s all designed with one intention, to make us give up control of our money.    How do we break away from this system for good? How can we unlock a world of financial freedom by changing one thing?    In this episode, I’m going to share the biggest financial lies we need to wake up to and how to part ways with them.

In the world of wealth-building, having the money to invest is a big part of the equation but not the entire formula.    Once we have the capital to deploy, where we put it and who we partner with is equally important and quite truthfully, what will make or break us. If we don’t make accurate decisions and pick the right investing vehicle, our money will flee from us.    How do we determine how to deploy our capital?
