Throughout the podcast, Rene emphasized the importance of storytelling in effective communication. He discussed how there are no new fundamentals, and how Aristotle's teachings on rhetoric and storytelling are still relevant today. He cited the example of the movie Rocky, which tells the story of an underdog boxer who overcomes incredible odds to become a champion. The reason that the Rocky story resonates with so many people, Rene explained, is because it has both failures and triumphs. It's a powerful example of how a great story can inspire and motivate people to achieve their own goals.
But how do you develop and share your own stories effectively? Rene had a few key pieces of advice. First, he emphasized the importance of being mindful of your journey. We all have incredible stories to share, but we need to pay attention to them and be intentional about sharing them. This involves being aware of your own experiences and reflecting on the lessons you've learned along the way.
Second, Rene discussed the importance of practicing breathwork when you're feeling nervous or anxious. By focusing on your breath and taking deep, calming breaths, you can reduce your anxiety and be more present in the moment. This can be incredibly helpful when you're preparing to give a speech or presentation, as it can help you stay focused and calm.
Third, Rene talked about the importance of overcoming procrastination and building habits. He emphasized the power of celebrating small successes and achievements along the way, and of setting achievable goals that can help you build momentum and stay motivated. By developing positive habits and focusing on small wins, you can make progress toward your goals and achieve success over time.
Finally, Rene discussed the importance of embracing fear and difficulty. He explained that these are always required for success and that the key is to learn to lean into them and use them as fuel for growth and achievement.

Andrew Peluso is a seasoned marketer with a diverse background, having held positions in industries ranging from cutlery sales to door-to-door pest control services. In this interview, Andrew shares his personal preferences, favorite apps and books that help him stay organized and on track. One of his go-to tools is the app "Productivity," which assists him in maintaining his daily productivity.
Andrew is a firm believer in investing in personal growth, wisdom, and the expansion of his company. One of the key takeaways from today's interview is the significance of "niche down." According to Andrew, "If you feel you've niched down enough, you've got to keep digging." This means that finding a specific area of expertise and becoming a specialist in that field is essential for establishing a name and building wealth. It's important to avoid going broad and shallow, and instead, focus on going deep within a specific niche. By doing so, one can uncover hidden opportunities and increase their income. As an example, look at difference in earnings between a general surgeon and a cardiothoracic surgeon. The latter earns on average $505,000 per year, while the former earns around $420,000 per year.

Vamsi Polimetla, is a seasoned runner, reader, and coach, joining us to discuss his incredible story. Born in India, Vamsi taught himself how to code and was quick to embrace the Java programming language when it first emerged. Vamsi moved from India to Singapore and then to the US, since it was far cheaper to obtain a car in the US. That’s right, Vamsi moved because he wanted to own a car, and that wasn’t feasible in Singapore. In the US, he was able to pursue his love for running and reading, two activities that helped him stay motivated and focused on his goals. Despite not being the “brightest student”, he was always eager to learn and read everything he could about coding. This dedication to growth and learning would eventually lead him to a successful career in the corporate world, where he worked for Blue Cross Blue Shield and even became an advisor to the CEO and CIO.
However, once Vamsi reached this point in his life, Vamsi realized that this wasn't the path for him and left to start his passion project, "Make More Leaders." In this coaching program, he teaches others how to be the best leader they can be and how to cut down on their work hours while enjoying life to the fullest.

Ben's story began in 2020 when he was laid off due to the pandemic. Instead of feeling defeated, he decided to take advantage of the stimulus provided by the government and start his own marketing business. It was not an easy journey, but he was determined to make it work. He put in long hours and worked tirelessly to grow his business.
Years later, his hard work has paid off, and he has achieved a yearly salary of a sales executive. But it wasn't just about the money for Ben, it was about creating a brand and a company that would pay him back in dividends for the work he did today. He had a long-term vision and was willing to put in the time and effort to achieve it.
Ben's story is a testament to the power of networking, growth, and working toward a better future. It's a reminder that if you have a dream, no matter how difficult it may seem, you can make it a reality. It's about starting with a goal in mind and taking the steps to make it happen.
So, if you're thinking of starting your own business, remember Ben's story. Remember that it's not just about the short-term rewards, it's about creating something that will pay off in the long-term. With hard work, determination, and a long-term vision, you can make your business a success.

How do you master time? How do you take time and master it? You start to prioritize. I’ve been reading a lot on essentialism & focusing on one thing at a time and I’ve come to realize that the key to owning your time is cutting out nearly everything. The key is to focus on just a few things that you do well. The key is to stop attempting to multi-task and do everything at once. The key is to say no more, say yes less and to get really really good at a few things. A jack of all trades is a master of none and a master of none is paid like an amateur of all.
So, today, make a commitment to own your time and prioritize. To cut out what’s non-essential and to implement what matters. Commit to becoming AMAZING at one or two things, not mediocre at 100 things. Commit to working hard and remaining committed to the work that you do. Commit to focusing and staying on the path, when the going gets tough, for a MINIMUM of 3 years before quitting.
That little paragraph right there, that’s the key to success.
Own your time, own your life.

Why is supply chain broken, why is inflation rising, what does supply chain management mean, and why does supply chain management matter? So many things are happening, and figuring out what happens where, and why what’s happening where it’s happening is happening is just so confusing! Exactly like that last sentence.
That’s precisely why we brought on expert supply management CEO Enrique Alvarez today. Enrique runs Vector Global Logistics a supply chain and logistics company that provides strategy consulting. Strategy consulting for what exactly? Getting products to companies and places in time, that’s what! It sounds simple at first, but when you’re managing a thousand moving parts, hundreds of people, backed up delivery stations, a lack of shipping crates and far too few truck drivers, things get complicated really quickly.

Ashley Kehr is one of the Co-Hosts of The Real Estate Rookie Podcast and today, she shares how she got her start in real estate.
Ashley didn’t start in real estate, no, she started with a job. Then, she decided that wasn’t for her, so she took on being a mother full-time. During that period, she was given the opportunity to manage 100 units for an individual she knew… with little to no knowledge on what that would look like, Ashley began managing properties. Now, for anyone who owns a few or many properties, you’ll understand what a difficult task this is. It’s not simple, it takes a lot of dedication, time, and most importantly, attention to detail. Something Ashley proved to be quite good at, and so, she managed properties for a time, before starting her own journey, in becoming an incredibly successful real estate investor.

How This Hacker Learned To Hack
If you've ever wondered about the hackers of our day, this is an episode you must listen to. Chris Roberts has done a little bit of everything! In a black hat white hat hacker kind of world, I'm not sure where Chris stands. While he never steals or takes information for his own benefit, his findings often are not welcomed with open arms. However, you'll see very quickly, that Chris only has the best interests of others in mind, as he endeavors to make the world a safer place. Where folks ask more questions.
From rustling thousands of cattle to proving the planes flying high in the sky were unsafe, Chris has made a huge impact on the world. He's hacked the Mars space rover, to do nothing more than play a little music. This hacker can do it all, and he's been featured in many a new article, shedding a positive, and negative light on his work.
This interview has been one of my absolute favorites. Discussing the impact of uploading your consciousness to the internet, the moral dilemmas of this, and so much more, truly opened my eyes, to a world I know little about.
If you're interested in hacking or hearing one of the best life stories out there, you're going to want to take some time to listen to this interview!

In today’s episode, we dive into individual success, what it means for you, and only you. Instead of chasing after someone else’s idea of success, chase after yours!

Expectations, we discuss those too, and how it’s important that your expectations for yourself, set the highest standard for YOU, possible. Because if you don’t expect the most, and the best from and of yourself, you’re bound to find disappointment around the corner.
The key takeaway in today’s interview is everyone has their own dreams, and you shouldn’t take on the dreams and goals of others. Instead, chase your goals, because you’re living your life, not someone else’s. So live the life you want!

Often, something new comes into our lives, and the old ways we had of doing things, no longer work. Why? Perhaps, you go to college and have a class in the evening or morning when you normally work out, so it gets placed on the back burner. Maybe you get married, or have a child, and have to devote time in the morning or evening to your wife or child, these are events that traditionally derail us from our routines. That’s okay, but what’s not okay, is that individuals never take the time to ask themselves, over and over, with each new life event, how will I fit fitness into my life now?
In the show Chad offers you the chance to get five workouts with him FOR FREE at Beat Your Excuses! Why? Because Chad wants you to succeed, he wants you to live a healthy and abundant life, so don’t pass up on this chance. Just click this link to get 5 exercises FREE with Chad Austin.

What Is The Difference Between a 401(K) and ROTH IRA?
A 401(k) offers you tax benefits, either tax-deferred or taxed on that original side. Essentially, you can push off the taxes, or, if you use a ROTH IRA, you won’t be taxed in 20 or 30 years when you retire. A 401(k) only allows a maximum employee contribution of $19,000 a year and a ROTH IRA only allows a maximum of $6,000 a year. Here is what’s important. If your employer offers an employer match, meaning for every dollar, up to 5% (this varies and your employer may not offer a match) of your income, they match. So if you make $10,000, and invest $500, your employer will also put $500 into your 401(k) for example. THAT’S FREE MONEY! Don’t waste it. If your employer offers a match, make use of that.
That's what we cover, and SO MUCH MORE! As we bring on Larry Sprung.

Today we bring on David Richards, a man who has done a little bit of everything. He was a real go-getter, graduating from high school at 16, then promptly proceeding to join the marines. he’s seen the world, spent time in Japan and once he returned to the civilian world, after 15 years of service, he wondered, what’s next. A brilliant question, that at one point or another, you’ve likely found yourself asking. Well, as anybody who was an avid fan of Stephen King might do, he tried to write. He tried and tried for 3 years, but nothing worked. Nothing worked, until he read Think and Grow Rich, a guest favorite on the show, and one, simple question blew him away.
What is your purpose? What is it that you’re trying to do, why haven’t you done it yet?
Key Points
- Growing is dying because you have to leave behind your old self and build a new self to truly grow. Sometimes, you need to leave behind friends, habits, or cars so that you can achieve something else.
- Stick with it, it took decades for David to actually publish his first book, even though he’d always wanted to share his writing
- There is strength in vulnerability, so be willing to be open, David is a brilliant example of this!

In our interview with Dom Brightmon, we uncover the team coach, who hosts a podcast in the top 2% of all podcasts. He grew up as someone who listened to others, he heard them and then helped them to reach solutions that worked. Dom came to realize that he wanted to build a life of his choosing, when he was passed over for a promotion at a library he was working for at the time. So, he got into entrepreneurship, wrote a book, and sold 100 copies. He sought to get better, not bitter.
Key Points:
- Create your own piece of immortality. Make things that will last after you're gone, such as a book, website, podcast, or game. That’s what immortality is, leaving behind things that will impact the lives of others, long after you’re gone
- Listen more than you speak, you have 2 ears and one mouth for a reason. Do twice as much listening as you do speaking. If you can listen to others, you’ll be able to help them in a far more impactful way. At the end of the day, if you want to help others, you need to help others to find their own solution. Since your solution won’t be the same solution as someone else comes up with.
- Always be seeking to be better. Don’t just let life happen to you, make your life happen.
- Be discerning with who you bring into your life. Don’t bring in people who won’t elevate you or challenge you, bring in people who will push you to be the best that you can possibly be. A mantra of many of the guests we bring onto our show, choose your group wisely.
- POP, find your pocket of peace and place of productivity. Take some time each day to learn something new and do something relaxing. Maybe it’s going to your coffee shop to do some writing, or reaching out to other businesses to ask a question while on a walk. Take that time for yourself to relax and be productive in a way that you ENJOY!

Today, we interview Jake Mullins. The previous chief operating officer of Cricket Wireless, a man who knows what it takes to build a business.
Jake is the CEO of a real estate company, a consulting company, co-host of the Beer and Business Podcast, and the author of Adapted Leadership.
In today’s episode, we learn about how you can grow a successful business. Why it’s important to fail and what a Chief Operating Officer’s keys to success are. We learn about motivation, why passion isn’t necessary, and why growth is so important.
Two keys of today’s lesson:
- Following your passion is wrong, don’t follow your passion… find out what you’re good at, find your talent and BRING your passion.
- Finding your purpose is simple. One sentence “purpose is helping people.” If you spend your life serving and doing things for others, you will be happy.
Your life changes as you learn this one thing. Your purpose is to help others. How can you give more? If you struggle with the mindset, like so many others, of how can I get more, you’re gearing up for failure. When you answer the question of how to give more, everything will change for you. Give what you have.

How does Working Out Help you?
- It helps build habits
- Creates discipline
- Requires dedication
- The principles behind it are the same principles behind the building of a business and developing yourself
If you ca build one good habit, you can build a million other habits, working out is one of the best ones, and on top of that, here are 3 things that make working out a valuable piece to add to your life:
o First off, working out will give you more energy, more energy means that you can not only enjoy your life more, but you can also do many things well. With more energy, you can enjoy playing games with your kids, pushing through those last few work hours in a better mood and you can be more awake and alert, for your safety and for those around you to get to enjoy being with you when you’re at your best
o Secondly, working out will increase your confidence. And with more confidence, you will be more successful in life. A confident person, is someone others look up to, someone that others can rely on and grow through. You’ll be more successful at work and whatever it is that you work on.
o Finally, working out will help you to live a longer life. It will make you stronger, healthier, and happier. You’ll be able to enjoy life for longer, instead of becoming bedridden and unable to walk, eliminating some of life's many joys.
Your focus is what you choose to focus on, and today, we will talk about what you need to focus on.
Today, we discuss stoicism, with a professor, Craig, who shares how Stoicism can change your life, for the better.
Money Won’t Satisfy You!
Use your money to build and make money, your money is your soldier, make money and make sacrifices today to pay for everything else in the future.
Money doesn’t change much, but it does allow you to make other decisions, make new choices and do new things.
More money, without a purpose, doesn’t do much of anything at all.
How should you use your money? To help others and to enjoy life with family and friends. Money should be used to advance the lives of others.
Should you ask for help?
The answer, quite simply, is YES!
People get stuck in their ways and refuse to see how to get out of it. They become stubborn and stuck, and as immature as it is, it affects nearly every person.
However, if you want to be healthy, wealthy, and successful, you will need help. Pride holds you back. Help propels you forward. Don’t think you can do everything, because you can’t, and even if you could, you wouldn’t be the best at what it is that you do. Build an incredible team and that’s how you will be able to build something truly incredible.
Today we interview Ash, a marketing expert who dives deep into giving, marketing, and how bringing value to the lives of others can transform your life!
13 Challenges Facing Every Entrepreneur
- You have to get out of your comfort zone, it’s not easy, you have to do the things that scare you
- You think it’s the path to quick money, but it’s not
- You cannot procrastinate, you need to be disciplined and hard-working. Now, this trait can be built, but it’s hard, really hard.
- You need to be well versed in business, all areas, this doesn’t mean you can’t hire them out, but you need to understand them. You’re the CEO of your company.
- You MUST become a problem solver, you need to figure out how to solve problems. You’ll need to learn to be a quick thinker, you’ll need to learn to think on your toes.
- You MUST be an action taker. Lots of people get trapped in the analysis paralysis, as an entrepreneur, you need to overcome all of that.
- You won’t get along with everyone. You can’t, you’ll have your differences and need to make peace with that.
- People want you to fail, because they’re afraid of your success, it makes them feel small and they compare themselves to you.
- There’s always competition
- No one will care about your business as much as you
- People will let you down
- Your money spent on advertising will fail, just like my book, epic fail
- You cannot give up
To achieve anything, you need to do the hard things, embrace those difficult things, they will include the following
o Sacrificing your time to build a business or to advance your career
o Sacrificing money today for money tomorrow, investing, purchasing real estate, buying stock, whatever it takes
o Going out every night
It’s not for everyone, but the rewards are great, they include the following
o Financial freedom, and income to take care of you and your family and your future family
o Extra time, to do whatever it is that you love
o Enough money to do the things that you love, go on adventures, treat family and friends, give more
Now, we dive into the hard questions... They are as follows:
If you had six months to live, what would you do?
On my death bed will I regret what I did, the life I lived, what I sought out?
Am I doing everything I can to live a full and rich life?
I love these questions for many reasons, they motivate and drive me and make me ponder whether or not I’m doing what I should be doing with my life.
I love these questions because they force me to pause and think and revaluate what I’m doing and how I’m spending my time.
I want to live a full and rich life, like you. I know you want that, because you listen to this backwater podcast from a guy who wants to build a better life. Because you, too want to build a better life.

Today, we discuss how you can be unsuccessful in your life. If you just follow my simple steps, you can have all of the success in the world!
I heard something the other day that I wanted to share, it was that successful people will work all day, and at the end of the day say they haven’t done enough. Unsuccessful people will do their normal routine and sit around all evening and say they’re overworked and have no time to do anything
Which party is right?
-
The unsuccessful person stays up late, playing video games or watching TV. They wake up as late as possible, pressing snooze as often as able. They roll out of bed, and head to work, or school. They go through the motions and get back at 5 or 6. They have dinner and they have the rest of their night ahead of them, they turn on the TV, they play video games or they go out drinking with friends. Their lawn needs to be mowed, they have unfinished projects that they’ve been too busy to do for months and they have ideas that they just don’t have time to work on. They stay up as late as possible, doing nothing, filling their time with any mindless, moderately entertaining task they can. They go to bed late, then repeat. On weekends, they don’t have time either, they hang out with friends, leaving homework unfinished and chores and projects for a later date. They watch shows all day, play videos until their head hurts, and only do chores when they MUST, their lawn has grown so tall that you couldn’t see a human laying down in it, or their homework is to do that next morning. They waste their day and at night say, I deserve a break. But they didn’t do anything. But, they don’t have much time.
-
The successful person gets up early, an hour or two or three before work. They get up when their alarm goes off, they might meditate, read, or do housework, perhaps they work on side projects they’ve just started. They have breakfast and coffee and head to work, they arrive on time, work, and get home at 6. They have dinner and at 7, they mow their lawn, they work on their projects, they read, they clean, then they plan their next day. Around 10 or 11, they turn on the TV and relax. On weekends, they get up early, but they do sleep in an hour, they start their day with chores or homework, fixing this and that, working on their side projects and they keep at it until the evening. They go out with friends, they relax and watch TV and they do so at 5 or 6 PM. They deserve it, they don’t have much time.

Which person are you? Where do you think each person will end up? I have a hunch…

Today, we get to talk about the purpose of arguing and how to build your relationships through disagreements.
Arguing with others, should not be something that you do, unless you are arguing for some reason or purpose
How often have you found yourself in a situation where you have a disagreement and in order to address it, you find yourself debating and fighting to win, this is all too common. You lose your cool and you start to get nasty, you might raise your voice and get angry because you’re in it to win it and you lose sight of why you argue

In today's episode, we talk about how to become valuable so that you can add value.
I spent the majority of my younger years, wishing for wealth, hoping that I would be rich off of some lucky break I made, back before Gamestop and AMC were big, I dreamed of finding that one stock that would bring me 200X my investment!
I always thought - THERE IS NO VALUE I CAN GIVE THAT’S WORTH ANYTHING, well, now, I know THERE IS, YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT, DUMMY!
Don’t seek to find that one, get rich quick scheme, no, seek to find areas where you can add value, you always have something to give, you just haven’t found it yet, but I promise, it is out there, you just need to find it

Today, we are going to talk about building strong relationships and the adverse of that, breaking off weak ones that hurt you instead of building you up, a difficult topic, but an important one if you’re trying to improve your life, and the life of those around you. Because if you hang out with people who bring you down, you are absolutely bound to bring them into the lives of those you care about and it will bring them down to. Your relationships, don’t just affect you, but those around you as well, so be cautious and seek people who will lift you up, so that you yourself can lift others up as well.
For those in your life who help you to grow, seek to nurture those relationships. The people who have the same passions and drives, are the people you want to be around. Even people who don’t share your same passions, if they build you up, and they’re of good character, you should seek those people out. If someone is interested in building a business and your not, but you’re a good person, who seeks to help others, develop others and grow

As the Author Chris Voss, a previous FBI agent states in his book never split the difference, people respond very well when you repeat the last few words of what they just said. So if they’re talking about how much they love their Etsy shop and they say, “I love the bracelets I make for my store” you might say, the bracelets you make for your store? You do so in an inquisitive manner, ask a question, about them.

A stock is a share of a company. If a company was worth $100 and they issued 100 shares, each share would be worth $1, if you bought 51 shares, you would own 51% of the company.
Buying as tock gives you a part of a company
A dividend is them paying you if they do well, think someone giving you interest.
Stocks go up over time as the company value goes up, think that $100 company value goes to $200.
Basic of options:
Options are trading the right to buy or sell 100 shares of a stock at a certain price on a certain date.
You have an $8 stock, you think it will go to $10 in 6 months. You pay to have the right, so you pay $20 for the right. If the stock goes to $10, you get 100 shares, but you only pay $8.
Options are expensive because there is a premium on them, you have to pay for that right
You don’t have to take the shares, you can sell that contract to buy 100 shares to someone else.

I was reading a book called Who switched off my brain. It’s about dealing with stress, negative emotions, and toxic thoughts. And I came across something fascinating, it talks about, how your thoughts and what you think of, can determine your mood or make it even worse.
So, here’s an example: If you’re feeling down, you always think of the worst possible things. Let’s say you’re lonely, you conjure up every memory that you have of when you’ve been left out, all the times you’ve been wronged or weren’t invited over. You dig yourself deeper and deeper into that plot.
And, it just gets you more set in your ways.
When you’re thinking of something, how do you get out of that funk? Or, how do you ensure you stay in a positive, healthy mindset?

Who Switched Off My Brain
Giving, I’ve talked about it before and I’m talking about it again, because, nobody gives. That’s why, although, its one of the greatest things you can do, so today, I’m bringing that point to you all over again.
Why give, well, it makes the lives of others better, that’s for sure, but it’s also got a whole bunch of health benefits, so let’s go over those first.
Giving makes you feel happy, meaning, it’s good for your health. Giving reduces stress and decreases blood pressure. And it’s contagious, if you give, others give, it makes everyone happier, giving creates a chain reaction, a chain reaction of good.

I know I’ve found myself in situations where I wasn’t sure how to build a habit. I wanted to stop sleeping in, start going to the gym consistently, eat right and be consistent with my work on Thought Hustle, but it wasn’t easy. Then, I read Atomic habits, a book that takes you through, how to build habits, day by day.
Imagine if you could improve by just 1% every week, at the end of the year, you would be an entirely new person, so often, we try to start a new habit, we go full throttle, and then burn out within a few days or weeks. Why? Because we bit off more than we could chew, so what’s the solution?
Start small, so small, it seems ridiculous.

if you want to live a brilliant life, ensure you do the following:
1. If you want to live a beautiful life, take the time to appreciate yourself, appreciate the things you do, how far you come and the milestones you reach
2. Be proud of who you are, until you get to that point, it’s going to be a constant battle of you trying to prove yourself to others
3. Reward yourself
4. Take ownership and be proud of what you do and achieve!
5. Always act in a manner that you would be proud to claim, whether its in work or relationships, make sure you would be proud of how you act.
6. Take some time to appreciate how far you have come and what you’ve done
7. Pride in yourself gives you greater confidence and helps to push you through those rough patches
How do you find motivation and drive to continue? Today, we will answer those questions, the question of how to build an amazing life!
If you find yourself lacking motivation, odds are, you aren’t doing what excites you and you’re dreaming too small.
Thankfully, there’s a quick fix for that, dream big, create huge goals, and take steps towards those goals each day. Have you ever taken the time to imagine your dream life, maybe you travel the country, the world or live in a beautiful mansion on the beach? I bet your big goals excite you… you want something bigger and better in your life, but you don’t know how to get there. That’s because you’ve never taken the time to allow yourself to get really excited that it’s actually possible to create your dream life.
Our personal standards determine our expectations in life
They determine the quality of your results and the overall quality of your life. If you have high aspirations and big goals, but low sets of standards, these mediocre standards will prevent you from achieving your aspirations and goals.
- So, you must change.
How do you raise your standards so your life can get better?
1. In order to figure out what standards you have in your life, you need to be clear on what it is you want, and then you need to build your standards around that
2. Once you identify your current standards, you can start to work towards the standards that you want in your life. How do you need to act, what standards must you set, to live a life of freedom joy and abundance?
rds, then define what you want and then figure out what standards you need to implement to be at the level you want to get to, there’s one final step… you must make a plan to execute those standards each and every day.
Here are the seven complaints and excuses that are destroying your life!
- I don’t have the time – If there’s something you really want, you have the time to do it. This excuse, what you’re saying is, I don’t want to make the time. Unless you have totally eliminated social media and Netflix and you’re working 16 hours a day, non-stop, this isn’t true. MAKE THE TIME
- When I’m older I’ll do that – Your belief that things will change or you’ll be more prepared when you’re older is misguided. Whatever it is that you want, start working towards it today. Your future self will thank you
- I don’t have the discipline – Maybe you don’t but that’s because you keep telling yourself that and because you aren’t working on becoming more disciplined
- I’m not feeling it today – Well, if you aren’t feeling it today, what on earth makes you think you’ll feel it tomorrow? Don’t wanna work out today? It’s gonna be the same thing tomorrow, just get up and do it!
- People will make fun of me – Nobody cares, NOBODY! Just do it, go to the gym, nobody is going to call you out for not being in peak physical shape. As someone who goes to the gym, whenever I see someone who’s out of shape, my only thought is “good for them” because you’re doing what 90% of people are too scared to do. This goes for everything, across the board.
- I don’t know how to do it – The weakest of the weak excuses. I didn’t know how to fix a hole in the wall, how to fix a sink, hot water radiators, a gas valve, none of it. But I bought a house and FIGURED IT OUT. So go learn, Youtube and Google are right there and they can teach you how to do ANYTHING!
- I just don’t know if I would like it, well, maybe you wouldn’t but you should listen to my last episode on finding your passion. You have to try something before you can make that judgment.
I know, another podcast on how to find your passion. How to make sure you never work a day in your life blah blah blah.
I used to HATE the saying, find what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. And, to be honest, I still don’t love that saying. Because it doesn’t get you anywhere. I know that I want to do what I love forever, of course, I do! Who doesn’t know that? Everyone knows that’s a fact. It doesn’t get you any closer to finding your passion, so what does?
Around this time I realized that if I wanted to find my passion, I had to find my strengths, so, I laid out my strengths. I like people and talking to people, I enjoyed helping others, I enjoyed creating and envisioning projects and great things. I enjoyed finances and money. And with this knowledge, I set out.
First, I tried investing, not for me.
Then I tried to act as a car seller, then as an advertiser, a web designer, a recruiter, then a financial advisor. Each of these didn’t work for me, so after a month or so, I moved on.
Because by now, I knew how to find your passion, you had to try new things, new things that might scare you.
This is how you find your passion. Then, I decided to build a business, and Thought Hustle was born. And I love building this company. I found my passion, but I don’t plan to make money from this business for a while, as I am taking it slow, so while I nursed that passion, I continued to search for something that could bring me an income, as well as joy through the work.
Eventually, I landed on real estate, something that I love, and I bought a house, fixed it up, rented it out to a family for the first unit, and a friend to live with me. And I plan to grow that passion, buying more homes, while building and growing my business. These passions brought my strengths into play. Helping others, giving, managing finances, rent, and all the things I wanted to engage in on a daily basis.
That’s how you find your passion, you try new things.
4 Ways To Achieve Your Goals Your Way
- Don’t get caught up in one methodology of starting your day or ending it. Try new things, try new routines and ways of achieving your goals. If you have the goal of working out every day or 5 times a week, you might try getting up early. Maybe that doesn’t work for you. Be flexible and don’t kill yourself attempting to do something in a manner that isn’t suited to you!
- Don’t try one thing for a week and then give up. Habits take time to build up, so if you try something new, be sure you’re ready to stick to it. Stay faithful and try it for a minimum of 3 weeks before moving on. Don’t be wishy-washy.
- Actually set goals for yourself. If your goal is to start a business and you are trying to do everything that a bodybuilder is doing to get there, then you’re looking in the wrong direction. Sure, the bodybuilder might also be building a business, but in most cases, if you imitate a body builder its because you want some semblance of the physique that they hold.
- Fourth and finally, stay flexible. Some days your routine might not work out, some days, you’re going to fail. Even when you’ve been on a routine for months or years, days will come where you aren’t able to reach that goal and because you see that one person doing it consistently, you beat yourself up. Don’t do that, accept that you need to be better and work towards achieving what it is that you want in your life!
There’s a book called Happy money by Elizabeth Dun and Michael Norton, it’s all about how money, a tool, can be used to bring you greater happiness.
So, what can money do to bring you more joy and others?
It’s been found, that the more people invest in others, the happier they are. The major prediction of happiness, it wasn’t the amount someone brought in, but the amount they gave out! Happiness could be seen trending in these studies, based on how much people gave to others. These studies did take into account, the difference in income. Giving money away, brought more joy, than making more money.
Money should be used to benefit yourself and others. The scrooges of the world don’t get to enjoy lives of freedom joy and abundance, because they chain themselves to a sack of money. Freedom and joy come from giving, not getting.

How do you stay disciplined?
You need a why and a what in your life, why do you want to do something and what do you want to do?
There are always days where you don’t want to do something that’s hard or challenging. Maybe it’s going to the gym, writing a blog post or applying to a job. However, in order to create a life filled with success, you need to discipline yourself.
Here’s a simple question I’ve used for years to motivate myself:
“Am I Destined For Greatness Or Mediocrity?”
That simple question enables me to do the things I don’t want to do, whether it’s working out, writing a blog post, researching a property, or taking a freezing cold question.
My discipline comes from a place deep inside. A place that is certain that I am destined for greatness, NOT mediocrity. Learn more about how to stay disciplined and how to do what you don’t want to do in today’s podcast!
Over the past month, I’ve gotten the first floor of my unit live-in ready!
Currently working on getting some heat upstairs, I need to do that by April first or I will be freezing cold!
I’ve been working on my book, which should still be coming out April 1st, I created a book cover design, I am sending out the free e-book the week before April 1st to anyone on my mailing list, check out my website to sign-up today!
**Today, we will be tackling the importance of investing. Particularly, the importance of investing early.
Many young adults, don’t understand the value and importance of investing while they’re young. They assume they can just wait until they’re older to start investing. They wonder, why should I start investing in the stock market when I’m twenty or thirty? Young people put off investing because they think that it won’t affect them if they choose to wait.
The power of investing while you’re young lies in the fact that your money grows the longer you leave it invested. Statistically, the S&P 500 returns 10% each year, meaning your money, invested in the S&P 500 index, will DOUBLE every 7.2 years.**
So go learn so that you can earn. How can any 20-year old become a millionaire? Start investing!

How many times do you lose focus each day? Your phone buzzes, you get distracted by a bird flying by your window or you suddenly remember, you need to go shopping while in the middle of work.
It’s annoying when we can’t accomplish what we want to because we get distracted by every little thing that’s going on around us.
Here are the five practical steps that might help you be more successful and get more prominent in your niche. So, let's dig a little deeper.
- PLAN AS YOU GO TO BED
Before you go to bed, plan out what your next day is going to look like. How often do you wake up, and then, you’re rushing all over the place, trying to prepare for work or your day?
The simple fix to this is to plan your day before you go to bed. Or, you can plan your day, first thing in the morning. Whatever suits you best!
2. DO THE DIFFICULT THINGS FIRST
The more complicated the tasks, the more time we spend thinking about that task, dreading that task and avoiding it. We avoid those difficult things as long as we can, much like a student puts off writing a paper until the night it’s due. , this is perhaps one of the best ways to lose focus.
So, how do you deal with it? You do the difficult things first, as uncomfortable as that is, it makes each day far easier to deal with and face.
3.ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS
Before you turn off your notifications, whether it’s at work or at home, answer all your texts and emails. Limit your time that you give yourself, generally speaking, 15 minutes is enough time to get back to any folks who have contacted you.
4. REGENERATE AND KEEP UP YOUR ENERGY
For every hour you work, you should be taking a 5-15 minute break. According to a post by Social Triggers, for every hour worked, a 5-15 minute break is ideal.
5. CONSTANTLY REMIND YOURSELF OF YOUR ULTIMATE GOALS
Finally, remember why you’re trying to remain focused. If you’re trying to remain focused so that you can be more productive, then keep that in mind. Oftentimes, people stop trying to be focused because they lose sight of the benefits of being focused.
It’s so that you can complete things in an efficient manner,, so that you can earn more of the most valuable resource of all…
Time.
Stay focused and concentrate and you will be able to achieve more, do more, and succeed in all areas of your life.
How To Find Great Business Ideas?
Today we cover the story of a little-known Thai entrepreneur, his name is Itthipat Peeradechapan, nicknamed Tob because I can’t repeat that name over and over again. His story highlights how you can start a business starting from nothing. His story shows, that you can make money selling something as simple as seaweed to become a multi-millionaire!
Tob had an estimated worth of $600 million according to Forbes in 2018, at that time, he was the 50th richest person in Thailand.
In 2004, Itthipat founded Tao Kae Noi (Little Tycoon) Food and Marketing Co., Ltd. The brand sold fried seaweed snacks, which became highly popular among teenagers and office workers. In December 2015, the company had its initial public offer (IPO) on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, raising 1.8 billion baht.
How You Can Start A Business
There are five questions that I learned from Dane Maxwell, pulled from his podcast and book ‘Start from Zero” These five questions can start any business you might want. They are as follows and meant to be asked of someone else:
- Over the last month, year, or a decade, what has been your most persistent and prevalent problem?
- How do you currently go about solving this problem?
- What happens if you don’t solve the problem?
- What would your dream solution be? Or if you could wave a magic wand, how would you or what would you do to solve the problem?
- Would you be willing to pay for the solution? If so, how much?
Use these questions as a springboard, to build a business that others have already stated they would pay for, what are people willing to do in order to build a fantastic business?
Financial basics:
Here are the key points from today’s show!
- Track your daily expenses, to start, at end of week track spending, and do it again at end of month. Once you get familiar with spending patterns once monthly is fine. Be patient with yourself, Most of Buffet’s wealth came after age 59. It pays off.
- Hold yourself accountable for your spending, build a budget. If you have trouble saving, use cash when you spend.
- How should you budget? Based largely on you, have goals et for the next 3 months, year, and 5 years. Learn your income and expenses. Pay yourself first.
- Figure out the type of budget you want – Zero-based or 50-30-20
- Utilize tools, use Excel, Mint or You Need a Budget, or pen and paper, whatever you feel comfortable with.
- Start investing, if you haven’t already, this is critical, you need to invest, the sooner you start, the more beneficial it will be down the line.
Can you remember the last time that you didn’t do something, not because you didn’t want to, but because you were afraid?
When was the last time that happened? Yesterday, a week ago, a month ago? It could be related to anything, from asking for a raise to applying for a new job, everyday, we let fear hold us back.
It rules our lives, when, we should be ruling it.
Failure though, failure is inevitable, and you cannot allow it to stop you from trying new things. You don’t fail when you don’t succeed, you fail when you give up.
"As I said, I wish I could say it was easy. It wasn't, but it wasn't hard either. But without a strong reason or purpose, anything in life is hard."― Robert T. Kiyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad
The best and simplest way to overcome your fears is to lean into them. If you want to defeat fear, whenever it rears its ugly head, lean into it, don’t run away. In the beginning, this will be difficult, but the more you do it, the more you’ll realize how your fears are misplaced.
There will be obstacles and struggles, when you lean into fear, you are often doing one of the bravest things you could do, it won’t be easy. Because it’s challenging, many people give up, they let fear and failure, coupled together, destroy their dreams and ambitions. Don’t be that person, when an obstacle comes up, you figure it out.
If you had a baby and they were learning to walk, but they kept falling over after taking a few steps, would you give up on that baby? Would you say “Give up little one, you clearly can’t walk?” Or would you encourage that baby?
So often, we find that our first few steps are wobbly, and we GIVE UP!
Why would you let a couple of failures cause you to give up? Of course, you’re going to be wobbly, like a baby learning to walk, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Pick yourself back up, those obstacles, that’s you wobbling, but you get stronger as you keep pushing forward.
How do you become a successful person?
You lean into failure, you keep pushing forward, you don’t give up and you fail over and over again until your failures have made you the strongest person in the room. Then, you will be kicking down doors, instead of being blocked by them.
In today's episode here on Thought Hustle, we go over my first home purchase, the numbers can be found below!
1. The total closing costs came out to $10,911 for the inspection, Appraisal, Radon Test, Insurance, attorney fees, and closing costs. I saved about 50% of my income for months to pay for this!
2. The mortgage on the home is $1081 and I plan to rent it for $1250. My yearly income will be about $2000, which I will set aside for any repairs and maintenance the property requires.
3. Cash On Cash return in nearly 19%, the COC is how much income you will receive, divided by the closing costs. Once I move out and rent both units, for $1250, my Cash on cash return will be over 150%, which means that the amount I put down, will be paid back within a year. Under an FHA loan, you must live in the home for a year.
4. In total, for the spackling, repainting, and minor repairs, it will cost me about $2,000

In today’s podcast episode, we take a deep dive into the habits of great leaders. We examine what makes a great leader and how you can become the best leader possible.
To be a great leader, you must lead by example. Elon Musk is reported to have slept on his factory floor, that’s an example of leading by example.
A good leader shows their passion and positivity for their tasks. A great leader builds up their team and emphasizes their strengths. A phenomenal leader leads by example supports their team and gives their all to ensure the success of those who are following them.
The characteristics of a great leader are as follows:
One of the best books I’ve read on leadership was Steven Covey’s book Principle-Centered leadership, in it, Covey outlines 7 characteristics of a great leader
- Never stop learning, sharpen the saw
- Be service-oriented, seek to give to others, life is a mission and responsibility, always give and be your best, improve the lives of others, and in turn, your life will get better
- Radiate positive energy, be the person others get energy from. Be optimistic and forward-thinking
- Believe in others, recognize strengths and weaknesses, build off of strengths. See the potential that is obvious and not obvious, bring it out.
- Balanced life – great leaders balance things. They practice self-control, they balance pride and humility, they balance reactions and understand that things balance out, failures and successes balance each other out.
- Build synergy, develop a team. Operate as a team.
- Leaders are always seeking to grow in all areas. Not just the mind, they balance their physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being. Seeking to grow all four areas for a brilliantly balanced life.
Always seek to balance your life, build up others and create an atmosphere of comradery.
Challenges for you to become a great leader:
- Evaluate your financial well-being, where are you now and where do you want to be? What do you need to do in order to bring balance to this area of your life?
- Evaluate your mental state, are you sharpening your saw? What areas do you need to work on?
- Evaluate your spiritual life, what areas are you lacking in? How can you improve your spiritual health?
- Evaluate your physical health, are you satisfied with your health? How could you improve your health so that you have more energy, positivity, and enjoyment in your life?
Layout your goals for your financial, mental, spiritual, and physical health, then create an action plan for how you can get to where you want to be!
Do it now, don’t wait, act, today, now! A great leader doesn’t wait for an opportunity, they create an opportunity. Start taking those small steps today, so that you can take huge leaps tomorrow.

If you want to change, aim for the root, not the leaves
“For every thousand hacking at the leaves, there is only one striking at the root” – Henry David Thoreau
Today we are going to be going over the topic of striking at the root of your problems.
So often, we find ourselves facing the same obstacles, each and every day. In today's episode, we will highlight the ways you can overcome any obstacles you might be facing. By striking at the root of the problem, instead of repeatedly hacking at the leaves.
Today we cover the importance of gratitude, including the following:
- Giving thanks is a game-changer, it changes your outlook, mood, and health.
- More gratitude has been strongly associated with greater happiness.
- In several studies, it was found that those who wrote about gratitude were more optimistic, felt better about their lives, and even exercised more.
- It was even found that managers who said two simple words, “thank you” to people who work for them, had employees who were motivated to work harder for them.
- Quite the mouthful, I know, and In one of my earlier podcasts, during my lazy days, I did share the importance of gratitude in my own life.
- Today, I would implore you to take the step towards acting more grateful in your life. Not only will it make your life overall better, but it will also change your perspective on the world.
CONSISTENCY – Stay consistent by writing down your goals, getting really clear on what it is you want. It’s easy to get sidetracked when you are trying to stick to one thing. You need to FOCUS though, you’ve probably heard the acronym FOCUS – Follow one course until success. Stick to it and know what it is you are working towards.
DISCIPLINE – Discipline is about setting yourself up for success by making the tasks you want to complete as easy as possible. It’s partly about will power and partly about making smart decisions. In order to remain disciplined you want to do the following:
1. Make your choices in advance, reduce decision fatigue
2. Remove temptation, make it easy to be disciplined
3. Make it who you are

There's an old story that talks about Henry Ford and how he was once challenged. And people were asking him if he knew everything, did he know enough? And they started asking him all of these questions as if that would qualify whether or not he was capable of running this massive car company. And so what he did is he started calling people into his office.
He called him his CFO, his CMO, he called in all the people who knew the answers to their questions. And he said I don't need to know the answer to your questions. I'm hiring the people who do and they make me the smartest man because they can answer any question that comes up.
Today, we cover how you can be like Mr. Ford.

Well, I’ve been through that.
In today’s episodes, we cover insomnia, depression, frustration, and boredom with life. Avoiding life’s problems, skipping classes, and wasting the day and night away playing video games. All at the ripe old age of 19. Been earlier than later in my case.

In this episode, we cover Daniel’s 18th year of life as we continue on into the story of the life of an 18-year-old kid.
The purpose of this story is to enable those of you who are younger and feel as if you aren’t built for success. Those who feel as if their circumstances are holding them back. This is for you, to learn from, so you can see that I started where you did.
I didn’t have everything given to me, I had to make huge investments into myself and my future to build the life I wanted.
At 18, I still hadn’t accomplished or achieved anything, I was lost, struggling, depressed, and frustrated with life.
Your life and path are determined by what choices you make, what will you choose?
During the next short segment of our story, we continue to see the dull life of Daniel Goerner, not much is going on. Work, life, friends, school, the usual life, being thrown aways. If someone told us at birth that we were dying, perhaps we would start seizing each day and each opportunity.
Nobody told me that though, so the journey continues as life goes downhill, it doesn't get better, it remains mediocre.
Life is rough, life is boring, life is challenging. Why does it feel like my life has no meaning? Where am I going in life?
These are all questions I started to ask myself as challenges came up, hard times struck, and struggles started to pop up.
