Many aspiring real estate investors are often held back by fear and uncertainty, worrying about the potential risks and failures associated with the industry.

"A good deal will always find the money. But you should be doing both at the same time. We say you should dig your well before you're thirsty. You should find the lenders before you need the money for the deal." - Austin Rutherford
"Most people think that I'm asking somebody to invest in me when I try to raise private money. It's the complete opposite. I'm giving somebody an opportunity of a lifetime to invest with me." - Austin Rutherford
“The biggest thing that you have to understand is real estate is not an if-game. It's a when-game. Real estate has been proven time and time and time and time and time again. So if you take the right actions, it's ‘when does real estate work’, not ‘if real estate works’. So anybody who's sitting on the sideline with the fear, think when, not if, and start taking action." - Austin Rutherford

QUOTES:

“But I really think that, especially with Miami being just a, just a gigantic city. And one of the big ones throughout the entire nation on here, there has to be someone to step in and say, we're going to do this different. We're going to do this, with integrity. We're going to do this with deep passion for the city that we live in. We're going to do this without agendas.” - Sebastian Rusk
“That's how you inflict change is that you're, you know, from a civic perspective, you've been able to cultivate, a community of people that believe in what you're doing and understand your message and see eye to eye with that. And then in turn, when it turns political, you've already got that base. They're a true base.” - Sebastian Rusk
"Change is a word that can trigger a lot of people. It's more about giving the power back to the people." - Marvin Tapia
"We need a commissioner that's going to walk in through the front door with his head held up high, and not one that's going to walk out the back door in handcuffs." - Marvin Tapia
This is not going to be a win for me. I don't see it as a personal thing. I see it as a district-wide, city-wide win. So if I win, we all win." - Marvin Tapia

In a recent episode of the podcast "Beyond The Story," host Sebastian Rusk interviewed Mark Beelek, an expert in business success and financial protection. Beelek shared valuable insights and strategies that can help individuals and businesses thrive in today's competitive landscape.

One of the key takeaways from the episode is the importance of falling in love with what you do.

Building a strong network and getting referrals is another crucial aspect of Beelek's strategies. He believes in starting with cold calling and gradually turning a cold market into a warm one. By introducing yourself and offering to share what you do, you can establish relationships and build a network of potential clients. Over time, this network can lead to referrals and long-term business pa

Quotes:

(00:05:21) Be nice to people anyway.

(00:10:53) I feel like comedy is the one thing that kind of breaks that facade down, even among strangers. So it's kind of like the ultimate love language, right? It's like the ultimate I don't know.

(00:16:12) I make sure that I include in every single one of my talks giving people permission to do whatever the fuck it is they decide that they want to do.

(00:18:31) If we weren't traumatized, we wouldn't have anything to talk about.

(00:26:02) You need people like that sometimes to be said to be like, no, you're tripping. Stop it.

(00:28:55) But there is a point in time between 18 and 22 that you have to absolutely draw a line of the sand and cut them off in a very, very healthy and productive way, because you're. Going to fucking ruin them.

(00:35:22) I want to meet somebody in real life.

(00:39:46) I love your passion for the art, and that's why I try to fuck with people that are sharing that same vision. And we kind of unintentionally keep each other accountable to stay in the craft by being in that community.

(00:14:34) The ability to connect is different as well, too. And just to be able to look around and be like, mine is a lot of fun.

(00:04:07) But I looked around, and none of them had it. So I went, fucking got it. You're not bringing it back to us.

(00:10:19) Man, this struggle makes me stronger.

(00:15:26) The more I chase life and have a good life and being that example, the more money shows up.

(00:20:49) A three-foot wave will kill you. You know what I mean? Those guys out there are just like ducks. They're experts. And then you go out there as an amateur and you like, fucking almost die. You're like, dude, these guys? Wow. There's a lot more to this.

(00:26:05) The biggest mistake I ever made, because this is what I did. I did 25 grand for a year. And after a year, it's like, thanks, Sebastian. Now I have to find somebody else to take your spot. It's a transactional relationship sitting down with Frank. And he goes, I started this recurring monthly thing back in 2009. I quit in 2010 because that's what Frank does. He likes to try stuff and stops. That's just how he rolls, right? It's good for him. It works for him. But he goes, man, I wish I'd have stayed consistent this whole time, because I did the math. I'd be making 9 million a month. I'm like, that's significant.

(00:31:09) The most expensive thing I've ever done is keep my fucking word. It's cost me tens of millions legitimately tens of millions of dollars keeping my word.

(00:35:06) If it doesn't check all those four boxes, we won't do it.

(00:40:43) I knew you were going to say that.

(00:45:51) Man, how many times in your life, listeners, have you told people what you were called to do? Whether you believe in God or not, that's your problem. But tell people what you were called to do, and then some agent of average in your life shoots down your dreams because they're not capable of it. What she was saying was, there's no way I could do that, so how can you do it?

(00:52:37) That guy is special. And that guy, I don't know why the fuck he's working here, but you need to link up with him, because there's something about that dude.

(00:57:57) When you step the fuck into what God's calling you to do, that's when you'll become what you've wanted to be your whole life.

Why Your Brand Needs Public Relations: Christine Haas - Christine Haas Media

The use of Public Relations can provide invaluable benefits to businesses in the digital age. From controlling the narrative and building trust and credibility with their target audience, to responding to and managing unexpected events, PR is essential for businesses to reach wider audiences and establish positive reputations. However, it is important to avoid Pay to Play PR, as this practice does not provide genuine or authentic results. Instead, companies should focus on utilizing PR and Media Placement to ensure their message is communicated correctly. PR Crisis Management is a specialized field that is essential for businesses to anticipate potential crises, develop strategies to mitigate their effects, and respond quickly to any issues that arise.

Quotes:

(00:03:53) And so I tell my clients, it's what you do with your placement that matters. So maybe you get on GMA, maybe you get on CBS, Austin, whatever it is, you have got to put it in front of where your people or your potential clients are.

(00:05:51) It really bothers me because I see people trying to brand themselves and put that out there, and they understand the power. But a lot of people, I can't even tell you how many high-level executives don't realize that they're being paid to play placement. They don't understand it. It's not real news.

(00:11:50) Ultimately, what we try to do is help people understand their right pitch for the media and then go from there.

(00:14:17) But again, we use it now to help people get their brand out there and their message out there, but protect them as much as possible, too.

Quotes:

(00:27:18) It's the same thing with Walk no longer. And I was going to say, when I started going to Winwood and when it was starting to come to life, Art Walk was dope. Like, you could literally go from gallery to gallery with a glass of wine or a cocktail and meet the artist and get to life.

(00:15:31) Pan Am is what helped shape Miami or set the tone for Miami being an international city, because they were the first airline to charter international flights.

(00:07:04) Don't just do anything for the money. Find a value or take a job that is going to give you a skill.

(00:20:25) She made it very pedestrian friendly. She put it a lot of like everything was really intentional because she wanted it to feel like a suburb right next to the city so people can work in Brickell and then live and have that life.

(00:03:38) Follow your heart, follow your intuition, and just do what you want to do.

(00:37:51) Might meet a wifey. Never know.

(00:23:20) It's not a great example of a park, really. Like, Brickell has no parks. And they deal with poop problems all the time because dogs are sitting on the sidewalks. Because there's no parks.

(00:33:53) Like, I know that I'll pull through, and I'll know I'll get out there, but it also showed me a different quality of life and the way that we were all biking around. We all had access to easy, clean, great public transportation, and how I felt in that space. I realized, like, wow, this is so much better, because I grew up in Kendall, and like I mentioned, also my parents worked at the DMV.

On the Beyond the Story podcast, Carolina and host Sebastian Rusk discussed her journey as a tour guide, her content creation on Instagram, and her upcoming tour of the city.

Carolina started her tour guide career four years ago, learning about Miami’s history and gaining insight into the city’s culture. During this time, she also started Miami Mondays, a two-minute video series about a different landmark or historic event related to Miami, which she launched in May 2020. With the pandemic, Carolina received $800 a week in unemployment benefits, which allowed her to focus on creating content and pursuing her passions.

Carolina and Sebastian discussed the importance of historic preservation, the gentrification of Winwood, and Carolina’s hobbies and experiences living in Denmark. Carolina was inspired by her time in Denmark to take risks and trust herself, and she realized that if she could do a six-month study exchange, she could do anything.

Sebastian Rusk and Arica Angelo, two experts in the field of relationships, recently had a captivating conversation about how to shift your mindset and remove barriers to finding love.

Sebastian Rusk is a dating coach who has been in the business for over 15 years. He was one of the original dating coaches before the rise of social media, and he had to explain his job to people before they even knew what a dating coach was. He has a program called Emotional Warrior which focuses on getting to the root of the problem and setting people free to receive love.

Arica Angelo is an advice columnist who has been helping people find love for over 20 years. She started her journey when she moved to LA to pursue a career in modeling and television. She was initially skeptical of the idea of giving people dating advice, thinking it was too easy. But when she realized that many of her friends were dating people who weren't good for them, she decided to use her gift of connecting with people to help others.

Through their conversation, Sebastian and Arica emphasized the power of love to revolutionize and the importance of giving others permission to do the same. They discussed how to cultivate a relationship with one's heart and how to go from glory to glory to uplevel and experience more freedom. Arica reminded listeners to remember that they are already loved, even if it doesn't feel like it or the world doesn't reflect it.

Sebastian and Arica also discussed the importance of believing in yourself and removing barriers to finding love. Sebastian used the story of Michelangelo creating the statue of David to illustrate the idea that we must chip away at the barriers that keep

But this [the AI] does a better job, quite frankly, than 9 times out of 10, really, with freelance writers that you're gonna hire.

[00:11:03] Something like this takes away all of that time commitment so you are able to spend more time on promoting that content or repurposing it into other formats or whatever and building links right. I think as as more and more companies have the ability to just spin up all this content, I think links become more important as well.

[00:05:28] People that have just achieved a 15 or £20 weight loss have way more influence than someone who's just kind of, you know, talking about your kids and talking about the dog and the weather and, you know, a little bit of fitness and health.

[00:12:11] “Volume is important because you don't know what's going to hit. Once you find something that hits and that will be defined as whatever your objective is, generates followers, gets clicks.”

[00:01:59] “I want to understand something from a different perspective, and I feel like that helps me grow as a person. So, I don't say I guess you could say it's arguing, sure. But like it's not arguing because I want to be right. It's arguing because I want to grow.”

[00:02:31] “You have to take a side when you're a litigator. But in order to really develop your case and like to cross-examine someone properly or close, using a closing argument, you have to understand and anticipate what the other side is going to bring to the table.”

[00:08:00] “So the guys that I was dealing with from the floor, they don't like to be. They don't like to be in the room with a woman who's powerful. And I did not want to conform.”

[00:08:26] “I think one of the major things that happened to me is that I was able to embrace the masculine energy that drives me to be really successful in life, but also harness that feminine side of myself and not lose it and not yield that to any of the people that I was working with. I just kind of use it as my superpower.”

[00:11:11] “I kind of got the entrepreneurial bug in me and made me realize how miserable I was on Wall Street. And so finally we hit a point in that business where I didn't really need my job anymore.”

“Jon: [00:02:48] I really got started because I struggled to build relationships that scale. And I think the best products come from your own need because of your passion for it and you understand the problem.” [00:02:57]

“Jon: [00:04:16] The biggest gift that gave me was the journey with the constituency around the GoldMine, where I really felt that I had a role in growing them, that people still stop me today who are part of that constituency [00:04:33]”

“Jon: [[00:06:09] relationships are critical to your life success, whether you're talking about individuals or businesses. And I looked around at CRM systems and saw they weren't about relationships. They're about command-and control reporting. [00:06:21]”

“Jon: [00:08:46] business is really about the basics and most people fail because they don't follow up and follow through. If you don't do what you say you're going to do, you lose trust. And if you lose trust, you're done in today's world [00:08:58].”

“Jon: [00:10:26] in today's world, your network and your brand or your net worth relationships are critical to your life success, not just individuals, but teams [00:10:35].”

Some of you may be wondering, what is “Mills Knows Bills,” and how did it come about? In the fall of 2014, Mills sat in her dorm room stunned that she only had $1.50 in her bank account. She said to herself, “that’s it?!?” – no credit card to fall back on, no savings account…nothing. Where did all her money go? How is she going to eat? How can she manage her finances better? These were all questions that flooded her mind; But where should she start? She began keeping track of all expenses and income on a spreadsheet, changed her major to finance, and obtained various positions in the finance industry.

Throughout the past five years, She improved upon this spreadsheet, paid off $25,000 in debt in two years, and have become a budget planning expert.

How To REALLY Care About Your Employees - - Chief Heart Officer at VaynerMedia Claude Silver

Fri, 05 Nov 2021 05:00:00 -0400

ABOUT CLAUDE:

I'm an emotional optimist, coach, manager, and mentor. As the first ever Chief Heart Officer it is my great honor to lead at VaynerMedia. I work for 1200 Humans, and I am in touch with the heartbeat of every single person in the company. My role is to infuse the Agency with Empathy. It's my purpose.

Culture is a texture. It’s a vibe. A feel. And culture is alive. It’s definitely not one or two-dimensional—I think culture is very three-dimensional. Culture is, in a nutshell, the heartbeat for me. It is something that absolutely lights up an entire system — if it is in place, and if it is thriving.

I constantly ask myself, how do I hold space for people? How do I make it not about my agenda? I’ve had an enormously fortunate career. And now this is about my life’s work. It’s bringing together every single personal and professional growth workshop I have attended, every corporate team-building session I have led, every trust fall I have caught. I don’t necessarily have all the answers; I’m helping our employees find their answers.

The CHO was created to scale Gary Vaynerchuk and to make sure that VaynerX and VaynerMedia’s 1200+ employees have a place they can find a home. My hope is that in our 15-30 minute meetings, they will feel a lot clearer and that they leave with a newfound path to a solution. Which in turn creates success for them and VaynerMedia.

How To Use LinkedIn To Grow Your Business - Joshua B. Lee

Thu, 04 Nov 2021 10:13:44 -0400

Here's a little more about Josh...

Human connection and engagement are key, as every company is run by another human being.

We have forgotten how to connect and engage in this digital age of automation. Most of you know if you see an ad, are in a digital funnel or email sequence and they do not work on you unless that is the exact product or service you are already searching for....so why do so many people think it will continue to work on your ideal client???

Companies do not want more "TRAFFIC" they want engaged buyers.

Over the last decade, I have managed over $500 million in ad spending and controlled over 35 trillion online impressions. Which has brought me to one conclusion.

"There is a huge disconnect between traffic and real conversions."

"I help X to achieve Y so they can do Z" ~ A strong Headline, first step in results-driven LinkedIn Influencer Marketing

Our goals at StandOut Authority are simple:
✔ To guide you to align marketing and sales for maximum effectiveness
✔ To equip you with the mindset needed to engage and connect online
✔ To provide you the skill set needed to win in the digital economy
✔ To provide the right toolset to navigate the digital sales ecosystem

I've been blessed to have had clients that include Joe Polish, Dan Sullivan, and Lance Tyson along with corporate training clients like Oracle and Gartner, and many others.

As the author of Balance is Bullsh*t, I offer clarity, mindfulness, innovation, and humor to my readers, clients, and social media audiences. I believe that work-life balance is a myth. We do not have two separate lives just as we do not have two different personalities.

As a father of two, having an integrated life based on vision, relationships, health, and business, has allowed me to achieve my dreams.

Brianna Ruelas -- American Idol Contestant & Reality TV Coach

Tue, 15 Jun 2021 09:45:59 -0400

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Brianna grew up living and breathing music and theatre from the age of 9. She went on to attend Pepperdine University, graduated with a BA in Theatre Arts, and shortly after, signed a deal with a top Talent Agency in Los Angeles to be a voiceover actor.

After a few years of voice-over work, Brianna realized her true calling was music, and at the time, reality television was taking off. She auditioned three times before getting an opportunity to be a part of Season 4 of American Idol. Out 100,000 hopefuls that lined up cattle call style that season, Brianna was 1 of 100.

Unfortunately, things didn't go so well in the audition stage in Hollywood, so when it was time to go, naturally, Brianna was devastated by the rejection.

Shortly after her American Idol experience, Brianna and her husband Victor started a family and music became a second thought for Brianna as she tried to acclimate to motherhood. After ten years of Los Angeles living, Brianna and Victor took a leap and moved to Brianna’s hometown of Richardson, Texas.

Redefining Normal - Justin & Alexis Black

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 15:34:34 -0400

Grab your copy of "Redefining Normal" here: https://www.re-definingnormal.com/

Alexis Black was six when her mother died and thirteen when her father went to prison for child endangerment. After subsequently surviving a long and abusive relationship, the college junior promised her foster parents that she would avoid romantic entanglements for at least a year. But when she met incoming freshman Justin on the first day of their scholarship program, they both felt the world melt away, leaving just the two of them in the room.

Justin Black lived in abandoned houses in the poorest section of Detroit before his parents surrendered him to CPS at the age of nine. He stayed in the child welfare system until he was graduated from high school. Determined to be the first in his family to pursue higher education, Black attended Western Michigan University, where he met beautiful third-year Alexis. At first, their past traumas--and their age difference--conspired to complicate their attraction. But the joy each took in the other eventually conquered those obstacles, and these two survivors journeyed hand-in-hand toward healing.

In their stark and often shocking story, Alexis and Justin reveal how two people brutalized in childhood managed to defy the odds, get healthy, and build a new life together. Guided by hope and a sense of purpose, as well as a desire to help others who have similarly suffered, they learned to reject the abusive patterns of their past, thereby breaking the cycle of generational violence and neglect.

Written in alternating accounts, Justin and Alexis offer a thoughtful exchange of ideas and personal experiences illustrating how anybody, no matter their background, can heal and find joy.

Redefining Normal: How Two Foster Kids Beat The Odds and Discovering Healing, Happiness, and Love is a page-turner of a memoir that will restore readers’ faith in dreaming big. Honest and vulnerable, this story is raw, wrenching, and necessary. Once you’ve read Redefining Normal, you will never perceive the plight of foster youth as an abstract statistic again. Justin and Alexis take you into the rooms where things happened, and their searing accounts will stay with you.

*This story contains factual depictions of domestic violence, trauma, sexual assault, and other difficult issues faced on the road to healing.

Shay Rowbottom helps people with Creating LinkedIn Content that generates growth, sales, and authority for your organization.

Shay joined LinkedIn in 2018 on the verge of suicide and battling a deep dose of depression.
