One of my personal definitions of money is - the measurement of value created. When I think of money this way it inspires me to create my own worth instead of looking for someone to give me anything. Using this perspective I'm more inspired to get into action and make things happen. It gives me energy knowing that I'm creating as a contributor to the "machine". On the other hand when I'm looking for people to give me anything it drains my energy, it doesn't empower me.

When it come come to creating value my guest today Dan Lok is a master. I read his book F U Money a couple of years ago and it shifted my thinking in terms of what it means to make money in the New Economy.

I attended a marketing event called Monetization Mastery almost a year and a half ago down in Miami...

I always tell people if you want to change your belief system around money and what's really possible then go to an internet marketing event. When you're surrounded by people who are on the internet making thousands of dollars (and some even tens of thousands) per day it has a way of shifting the way you think about business.

I've also discovered one of the truths about building a businesses online... if you want to make some money then you do it alone. But if you want to build wealth then you build teams.

One of the people that spoke at Monetization Mastery was my guest today, Ben Williams. Ben provided a blueprint on how to outsource tasks and scale pretty much any online business. This process is the X factor between those who make a living and those who are living the life.

In this episode Ben talks about the steps that he took to leave Corporate America while building his business part-time and how he approaches creating extremely profitable businesses online.

In this conversation you'll learn...

The exact steps that he took to transition out of his $30K/year job

The thought process that he uses before building a business online

Why it's critical to systemize tasks in business

How he approaches which outsourcers to use

A few weeks back I attended a networking event here in Atlanta while there I had the pleasure of meeting my guest on today's episode, Austin Distel.

At the age of 24 Austin is a digital entrepreneur who has already created and sold an offline business and launched his own digital agency. As if that's not enough he's also one of the founders of a rapidly growing community of entrepreneurs called The Entrepreneur Alliance.

The Entrepreneur Alliance is an online training hub and community for digital entrepreneurs. Outside of the phenomenal training and transparency of the community one of the distinctions that separates "EA" from other online communities is that they also host live offline events and meet-ups all over the world.

In this conversation Austin talks about his risky decision to drop his major of Dentistry while in college to pursue a degree in marketing. He also talks about how he created his digital agency from nothing and what lead to him helping to create The Entrepreneurial Alliance.

One of the things that Austin and I share in common is that we we're both heavily influenced by Tim  Ferris's book The 4-Hour Work Week, you'll be able to hear Tim Ferris's influence in the way that Austin approaches creating an online business.

In this conversation you'll learn;

• How to start your own digital agency and earn the trust of new clients quickly
• The trap that many location independent freelancers fall into that keeps them broke
• The mindset needed for maintaining focus and avoiding "Shiny Object Syndrome"
• How to use gut instinct to make business decisions
• A unique approach to learning and keeping yourself inspired
• The daily tasks required to run an online business
• How to develop business relationships and build a network of high level entrepreneurs
• And much more

One of the things that I love about entrepreneurship is it's the closest thing that you can get to being a professional athlete.

You'll get direct feedback on whether you can really play or if you stink... but no matter what the market says about you, there's always room to improve and get better.

Here's the cold truth...

The job market is shrinking, with technology replacing human labor and capital funding becoming more and more scarce since the 2008 meltdown business owners and CEO's are more focused on costs and the bottom line more than ever.

The highest cost savings can usually be found in the elimination of a salary.

I say all of this to say, If you're not currently running your own business then it's something that you should seriously consider looking into if you want to keep up with your current standard of living.

My guest today has been coaching and mentoring in the arena of business for over 10 years. Meet Kerwin Rae. Kerwin is an entrepreneur, investor, business coach/trainer who has spoken all over the world. Over 100,000 people have attended his workshops and seminars.

He has worked with the likes of Jordan Belfort, Harry Dent and Oren Klaff just to name a few and is considered to be one of Australia's leading authorities on business strategy.

In this conversation you'll learn...

• His unique perspective on money
• The one key characteristic that separates him from most entrepreneurs
• How he stays in a high vibration even in failure
• How he's overcome his biggest fears and his best technique for overcoming any fear

Have you ever met someone who said that they couldn't use a little more confidence? Nah, me either.

Confidence is one of those qualities that most people would like to have a little more of. On today's episode I'll be talking about the secrets to developing bullet proof confidence with Social Confidence coach and author Myke Macapinlac. Myke is the creator of socialconfidencemastery.com.

I think this is something this is a subject that everybody should study at some point, especially if you wanna be an entrepreneur. As an entrepreneur you gotta be skilled in selling ideas. In order to sell ideas you have to have an understanding of different personality types and being able to frame the meaning of your conversations. 

Favorite quotes from Myke:

If you're good with YOU than you'll be good with other people

The only advantage that I have over other people is that I've had way more suffering than most, that's why I'm able to keep going when they want to give up

In this conversation you'll learn:

• Why learning can be a bad thing
• Why people struggle with confidence and how to fix it
• Proven ways to improve your appearance and become more attractive
• How to get comfortable taking risks in social situations
• Understanding the foundation of all great relationships

One of the things that I've always made an effort to be is someone that can lose everything and then turn around and get it all back. I say that because I believe that a truly wealthy man isn't wealthy because of his money or the value of his possessions. He's wealthy because of who he is.

My guest today Tony Dada is one of those people. At his lowest point Tony found himself homeless with nothing to his name. It was also during this time that Tony began what he calls "His Great Experiment".

With nothing left to lose he also lost his sense of fear. With time he slowly began to see the great opportunity that he had in front of him...the opportunity to focus on developing himself into a better person and creating the life that he' d always dreamed of.

Tony created a new definition of success for himself, one that was no longer based on society's typical definition of success. He instead focused his attention on creating a legacy by making a difference and choosing to empower the people of his community.

Since that time Tony has used his time and talents to transform many of London's economically disadvantaged.

Today Tony is a social entrepreneur and an award-winning author who has developed a proven strategy for living an empowered life based on his 7 foundational principals that he calls "The GPS System", which stands for Growing Personal Success.

Tony is one of the most sought after empowerment coaches in the United Kingdom and in 2012 he received an award for Outstanding Contribution from the former Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.

If you've been trying to figure out how to identify your natural talents, get in alignment with your purpose and create powerful results without resistance then you definitely want to listen to this conversation.

During this interview we discussed...

• Why our existence is more spiritual than physical
• How to accelerate mental maturity
• The importance of mentorship
• Relationships
• The ONE idea that you must understand before you’re able to create money
• Why being a nice person can often be a bad thing
• The lessons that he learned from losing everything
