Making Bank

(3:04) John Soforic

If you're debating whether to share your financial info with your kids, just do it. I mean, why hide it? Being open teaches them important stuff about money, builds trust, and gets them ready for the real world. Plus, it breaks those dumb taboos. So, spill the beans—they'll thank you later.

(9:07) Re Perez

Authenticity is becoming a big deal. Whether we realize it or not, we're drawn to companies that are genuine. We want the real deal, not just flashy marketing. So, when it comes to choosing where to spend our money, authenticity matters more than ever.

(15:47) Jamie Mustard

Instead of crossing your fingers and hoping for the best, you can deliberately create something iconic in people's minds in no time flat. It's all about taking control and making things happen, rather than leaving it to chance or waiting for years.

(22:08) Jerry Fetta

The elite top 1% and even Fortune 500 companies put their top-tier capital into whole life insurance. It's like the ultimate safety net, the gold standard for safeguarding their wealth. They're not messing around with this stuff—it's the cream of the crop when it comes to financial security.

(27:46) Jeff Dudan

Balancing excellence with efficiency is a tough gig. That's the game. Living on the edge, pushing boundaries—that's where the real action is. If you're not living on the edge, you're just sitting around.

(32:50) Forbes Riley

We don't mentor our kids, we don't spend enough on education for our kids. Yes, they make up 10% of the population, but they're 100% our future. Prioritize your kids' education and mentorship. They might be a small percentage of the population, but they're our future.

(38:33) David Meltzer

Happiness is highly underrated. but we should remember that how we feel sets the tone for everything. Don't get sidetracked by other stuff. Embrace happiness and find joy in the everyday grind. Keep pushing toward your potential, and don't ever give up.

Welcome back to Making Bank. In today’s episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Dima Ghawi, David Garofalo, Jordan Mederich, Gino Wickman, Jeremy Slate, Jason Treu, Brian Burke, and in this episode, you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success.

(2:45) Dima Ghawi Anytime you feel challenged and it is starting to really stress you out, instead of thinking about the situation you’re in, think about the lesson you need to learn from the experience.

(8:35) David Garofalo Investors will be looking at Gold and Silver increasingly to preserve their Capital because the opportunity cost of owning these precious metals simply doesn't exist anymore.

(16:00) Jordan Mederich There's a lot of macro problems and there's a lot of micro problems and sometimes we tend to add up the micro to feel macro. We feel like we've got all these problems then we get overwhelmed.

(21:35) Gino Wickman There is nothing wrong if you own 100% of your own business without any partnership. Many times there is this undertone of you're selfish or something when not at all. If it works it works. Just decide what you are.

(26:15) Jeremy Slate Nothing in life comes easy. You have to work smarter, not harder. Initially, you may be in a phase of your business where some adversity happens. You just need to work better. If anything comes easy, it’s not worth it.

(32:30) Jason Treu Leaders are really good at pivoting quickly. They are always ready to step willingly into that role where they take responsibility so that they can ensure the smooth functioning of any work that has to be done.

(37:28) Brian Burke It’s important to be passionate about what you do. When you're passionate about something and you hit a wall, you'll be able to push through it because you know that you want to win. If you didn't care about it as much, you are likely to give up faster.

Welcome back, everyone! Today, we've got an incredible guest lined up, Alden Mills, and he is going to blow your mind. Ever wondered how to turn a failing business into a $95 million success story in just three years? Well, get ready to be inspired because our guest is an unstoppable force in the world of entrepreneurship. Join us as he shares invaluable insights on mindset, building winning teams, shaping culture, and mastering the art of leadership. You won't want to miss this.

(8:40) Seal Entrepreneurs

Alden Mills was interested in bringing a product into the market, a product that would help people’s lives. While he was in the seal team, he would always improve some of the products that they were using. There was a high entrepreneurial mindset before he even went into seal team.

(14:35) Thoughts, Focus & Beliefs

Thoughts, Focus & Beliefs they inter-operate together to help you decide about taking action and taking on more decisions. When you’re starting a business for the first time three things are going to be new. Starting, failing and tiring. All entrepreneurs will have to face this.

(19:55) Mindset Map

Think of focus like a funnel that directs energy into taking an action. Thoughts come in three forms. Past, present and future. Whatever thought you decide to focus on is the one that will decide where you get your energy from.

(22:33) Passion And Purpose

You have to be passionate about whatever it is you're doing and you have to find purpose. If you're just passionate about something without purpose, then it’s more like a hobby. If you're super purposeful about something but you have no passion about it, you're going to get burned out.

(27:28) $95 Million In 3 Years

“We looked at the infomercial not as a business in itself but as an opportunity to do what I would call, Transactional Brand building. We're going to sell you a great product, you're going to be surprised at how good the quality is and then we're going to get sales through Word of Mouth and then retailers will want the product.”

(32:55) Envisioning

If you can't articulate what your vision is and get people to believe in it, then you’re never going to see it. The old adage saying, seeing is believing is incorrect. it needs to be believing so you can then see it because there's going to be something way Far Over Your Horizon and you got to believe in it before you can hope of ever grasping it.

(36:04) 3 Levels Of Leadership

The first level of leadership is you. it's leading you. Leading yourself directly impacts level two, which is leading teams. Teams are nothing more but the reflection of the leader. Then the third level of leadership is leading the culture of the organization you created. This is your legacy.

Welcome back to Making Bank. In today’s episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Erik Van Horn, Cody Sperber, Phil Jones, Michael Bernoff, Aaron Stokes, Phillip Stutts and Nir Eyal, and in this episode, you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success.

(3:09) Erik Van Horn

Franchising gives you the Playbook but also the secret to it is getting in with

the In Crowd the franchisees that are killing it and learning from them that's really how you shortcut the speed to profitability the speed to having you know significant net worth.

(8:56) Cody Sperber

“Being empowered through my real estate income to be able to give back to him I retired my dad right around the time I was becoming a millionaire I was able to retire my parents.”

(16:45) Phil Jones

Your role in your business is to be able to help guide your customers to get the best access out of the tools that you provide for them, letting them come out as a hero. People will enjoy spending money with you way more than before.

(24:20) Michael Bernoff

Perceiving something as "looking down" on it signifies seeing it as having less control. Visualize bothersome individuals, and if you look up at them, it highlights perceived power dynamics. This awareness empowers you to reassess and manage reactions effectively.

(30:16) Aaron Stokes

You fail not because you didn't know how to do business but it could be because you hired the wrong guy and everybody needs to beware every time you hire somebody not only can they make you money but they can cost you money.

(35:19) Phillip Stutts

Many times entrepreneurs are the worst at school and the best at business right but many people don’t realize that they can only do good with things they really care about. Find out what that is and then learn to make a living out of it.

(40:12) Nir Eyal

You have to do what it is you said you are going to do because most pernicious distractions are the ones that do not even feel like distractions. You may think opening an email is productive but if it’s not something you planned to do with your time, it is still a distraction.

Welcome back to Making Bank. In today’s episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Pat Flynn, Jack Davis, Nicholas Kusmich, Henry Kaminski, Ben Malol, Yanik Silver and Warren Philip, and in this episode, you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success.

(3:00) Pat Flynn

There will be millions of challenges and you may face so many failures. However, you can start it off by just getting over your own insecurities and overcoming the limiting beliefs and then tell yourself that this is something you could really do.

(9:03) Jack Davis

The number one thing you should learn is that things are going to change once you get into your company but that doesn't mean it's not worth it to really plan out what the next six months looks like. Always plan ahead no matter what.

(12:29) Nicholas Kusmich

Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. It's not an easy Journey. It's not filled with Lamborghinis and multi-million dollar houses. Don’t get swayed by how it’s presented. It's a difficult journey and not everyone is cut out for it.

(17:07) Henry Kaminski

You really have to delegate your weaknesses out. You cannot try to be everything to everyone or everything inside of your business. When you delegate out the stuff that you're just not good at you will get to where you need to be faster.

(21:23) Ben Malol

Doing what others tell you to do is sometimes very helpful, however you need to also be mindful of why you do it. Instead of just doing things that other people tell you, you also need to ask yourself why. Most people don't even ask that much.

(27:37) Yanik Silver

Learn to dive deep into what you are really great at. Know what you were meant to do. Ask yourself these big questions and then from that you will be able to figure out your mission in this world.

(33:45) Warren Phillip

Your business should thrive on providing solutions for individuals seeking assistance, and this should align deeply with your purpose. Recognize within yourself the sense of destiny because this will drive you forward.
