How To Play Both Defence & Offence With Your Real Estate

Worries About Coronavirus? How To Play Both Defence & Offence With Your Real Estate (FYI, defence first, and defence wins championships) I’m a firm believer with the challenging times, we are facing right now, there are three essential areas of our life we need to take care of, In order of importance (my opinion): 1) Your Health 2) Your Psychology 3) Your Finances, your personal economy & your Real Estate portfolios In this Podcast, I'll touch on all three of these critical elements, with the bulk of the time spent on bucket #3 (your personal economy). I've been through 'similar' times as what we are experiencing. I say similar because these are unprecedented times. I do not profess to know all the answers (nobody does), but I do have experience and insights to share (the grey hairs in the beard, have been earned). During challenging times, time for vigilance, lean in, ask for help, and don't fall asleep at the switch. ===== 🔗 Resources & Links Mentioned in Episode: ===== https://www.raisingcapitalacademy.com/c-19-success-package https://russellwestcott.com/ ===== ☕️ Support The Channel: ===== This Podcast Runs On Coffee...

How To Navigate Through Turbulent Times

May you live in live in interesting times... this quote is often attributed to both a blessing and a curse, and is an accurate reflection of our current reality. We have an opportunity right now to take a deeper look within ourselves. Perhaps we all need a giant reset button. I recently had the opportunity to lead and share a powerful and timely conversation with one of the most gifted thought leaders I know, Philip McKernan. Take the time to listen to this, we covered some very important topics and we went into the ‘deep end of the pool’ We covered some deep topics as: managing fear, worry, anxiety, connection, holding space for others, handling difficult situations, and more… Philip McKernan– “Inspirational Speaker, Writer & Filmmaker.” He works with entrepreneurs and business leaders all over the world. When people are seeking clarity about their future or want to move through roadblocks, seen and unseen, they call Philip. ===== 🔗 Resources & Links Mentioned in Episode: ===== https://philipmckernan.com/ https://www.raisingcapitalacademy.com/c-19-success-package https://russellwestcott.com/ ===== ☕️ Support The Channel: ===== This Podcast Runs On Coffee...

Failure Is NOT An Option

The Buck Stops With You! How To Be Accountable, And Failure is Not an Option. Very honoured to share with you, once again, one of my early mentors, Arlen Dahlin. As I’ve shared with you in a previous episode, one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made during challenging times was to go it alone, play small, and ‘pretend’ I had it all figured out. This podcast episode is another one of the conversations I’m having to; seek wisdom, talking with people that have gone through more challenging times, having conversations with them, and sharing all the insights with you. My clear intention is to provide you with real-life tools, support, guidance, and leadership during these challenging times. Enjoy these veteran insights, focus, and actions. The role-playing conversations alone that Arlen & I shared with you are priceless. ===== 🔗 Resources & Links Mentioned in Episode: ===== https://www.raisingcapitalacademy.com/c-19-success-package https://russellwestcott.com/ ===== ☕️ Support The Channel: ===== This Podcast Runs On Coffee...

This Too Shall Pass

There is a famous quote in the success bible, Think & Grow Rich, by Napolean Hill "Every Adversity, Every Failure, And Every Heartache Carries With It The See Of An Equivalent Or Greater Benefit” This quote is a perfect backdrop to the recent conversation I shared with my good friend Michael Ponte on his expert investor interview series. Very honoured to share some of my almost two decades of investing experience and some first-hand stories of dealing with challenging market conditions.

When Crisis Strikes...

When Crisis Strikes... In Seneca's letters from a stoic, he asserts; "A setback has often cleared the way for greater prosperity. Many things have fallen only to rise to more exalted heights". This quote serves as a perfect backdrop for the latest Podcast episode. I have the great honour to talk with Real Estate Investors from across this great country daily. Many times the conversation of fear arises. Fear in Real Estate takes many forms. Fear of failure Fear of what others will think Fear of not knowing what to do Even fear of success And on and on. The reasons for fear are as plentiful as the Real Estate investing strategies available. Inevitably, the fear of 'losing money' enters the equation. In this episode, you will hear from someone who shares a gut-wrenching story of loss. He shares three separate stories of challenging times (including losing money on Real Estate transactions). But the fear of losing money pales in comparison to the loss my guest shares in this episode. This episode will leave you asking some big questions about being prepared for a crisis and how to deal with the challenging times in your life. My guest today is Jay Gabrani. He is a walking personification that the challenges and obstacles we face in life will become one of our most powerful catalysts to serve at a higher level. ===== 🔗 Resources & Links Mentioned in Episode: ===== https://www.preparedfathers.com/tfawebinar-registration https://www.preparedfathers.com/ https://www.raisingcapitalacademy.com/c-19-success-package https://russellwestcott.com/ ===== ☕️ Support The Channel: ===== This Podcast Runs On Coffee...

Interest-Free Loans, and $10,000 Forgiveness.

Interest-Free Loans, and $10,000 Forgiveness... Wait! What? The rules and regulations around this Federal Government program have changed, and there are many myths and misconceptions. Do you qualify? What are the terms? What if I don't have any employees? Does this apply to Real Estate investors? This program almost sounds too good to be true; what's the catch? So many questions and recent changes surrounding this program, so I decided to go to one of my most knowledgeable sources when it comes to accounting and tax, Cherry Chan. Enjoy this conversation that Cherry and I had regarding this deep and nuanced topic. You may find yourself coming back to this video often due to all the details provided. Lean into the complexity, roll-up your sleeves, apply, you never know you may qualify. ===== 🔗 Resources & Links Mentioned in Episode: ===== https://ceba-cuec.ca/ http://realestatetaxtips.ca/tips-on-how-to-prepare-for-40k-ceba-loan-application/ https://russellwestcott.com/ ===== ☕️ Support The Channel: ===== This Podcast Runs On Coffee...
