How to Build a Legacy With Micah and Hamudi Mruwat

Micah and Hamudi Mruwat founded the Mruwat Enterprises Organization. Recently, they made the decision to rebrand as The Legacy Builders. They came to this decision because they realized that to be successful, you have to be beyond thinking about yourself and think about all the people around you, be they your peers or the people that come after you. In order to have financial success and create generational wealth, you have to build a legacy.

Set Goals

Many people set either personal or professional goals, but few people make both. Even fewer take the time to ensure that the two are in alignment with each other.

Respect Each Other

In any business or personal relationship, you have to respect each other. This is not just a question of good manners, it means respecting someone’s strengths and weaknesses, and letting them do what they do best in service of your goals.

Be Okay With Where You Are

As entrepreneurs, it’s easy to get caught up in the feeling of wanting more. In sales, you want to meet your quotas and blow past them. But in order to build a legacy, you have to accept that you are where you are in life, and you can’t skip any steps. You have to build on what you have, it’s impossible to build on what you don’t have. Take the time to enjoy the moment and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Align Yourself With the Right People to Push You to the Next Level

Find people who have the same mindset that you do, or that you want to have. When you have a contact list full of people who won’t let you play small, you have little choice but to think big and act big.

Take Massive Action

The way to grow your business is to take massive action, especially at a time when most people are afraid to act. The market is more chaotic than it’s been in more than a decade, and many entrepreneurs will be too timid to take the bold steps necessary to grow their business. This market will be where you create your legacy by taking advantage of opportunities that most people won’t take.

Reevaluate Your Goals Constantly

It’s not enough to set goals, you must also track your progress towards those goals. If you aren’t making progress, is it because you aren’t being effective, or because the goals are no longer worth pursuing? Micah and Hamudi reevaluate their goals every day, and that is a big reason for their success.

Watch my interview with them to learn the secrets to building not just a successful business, but a successful legacy. You’ll learn who influenced them, their biggest lessons in life, the unusual way they track their goals, and how they integrate their marriage into their business.

How to Change What’s Possible with Austin Allison

Austin Allison, the founder of Pacaso, and CEO of dotloop, is no stranger to disruption. He got his start in real estate selling to make extra money through college and law school, and then left law to found dotloop, a software company that catered to the real estate market. The company was so successful that Zillow Group bought it after 6 years, and he stayed on working for Zillow for 3 more years. He later joined a friend he met at Zillow to form Pacaso.

Pacaso, named after the artist Picasso, was another disruptive company. After he and his wife bought a second home, they realized that there was an unserved market for second homes, as most people can’t afford a second home, and those who do leave their home empty for months at a time. Pacaso solved this problem by bringing together co-owners in a property.

How do you become a disruptor? What does it mean to disrupt? Steve Jobs was a big influence on Austin Allison. Steve Jobs was a disrupter because he realized that the word “normal” is just an agreement. The world is the way it is because people made it that way, and people who have the courage to “Think Different” can change the world. You can choose to believe that the world is the way it is just because it is, or that the world is the way it is because no one has come up with a way to change the world yet.

If you come up with a vision, and stay true to that vision even as you adapt to changes, and do the hard work, you can disrupt the world.

Grant and Elena Cardone Think Big

Grant and Elena Cardone built an empire, primarily in real estate, but also in several other business ventures, including writing books and teaching personal development. When the economy collapsed in 2008, he had a revelation: Banks were too big to fail. He had been successful in real estate, and he made prudent investments, yet he was dragged down by the economy. What if he could be too big to fail?

From that moment on Grant and Elena committed themselves to being the king and queen, respectively, of an empire. Grant created the 10x movement, and grew his business until he had seven businesses making nearly $100 million in sales per year.

How did they do it?

By thinking big and acting big.

It takes many to build an empire

You don’t have to be the strong, powerful, independent person who never depends on your spouse. Find someone you trust and build an empire with them. To be a power couple, you have to trust that your partner can stand beside you in all things. Each of you has strengths and weaknesses, and the two of you can make a powerful team by complimenting each other.

If you think small, you will act small

We have outdated frameworks for what is considered successful, and what was considered normal in the 1960s is long gone, yet the frameworks remain. It’s not enough today to own a house for your family, you either think really big, or you barely scrape by, and there is rarely an in-between. The biggest mistake that Grant has made, according to him, is that for his entire life, he’s thought too small.

Get good at what you don’t like to do

The biggest payoffs for Grant have been after doing what he hated to do the most. Everybody wants to be successful at what they enjoy, but to really make it big, you have to get good at what you don’t like to do. Grant is known as one of the world’s best salesmen, but believe it or not, he never liked to do sales, but he just kept at it until he was one of the best in the world.

If you follow the principles that Grant Cardone teaches in his 10x program, you can learn to breakthrough old habits and patterns that haven’t worked for a decades and become not just modestly successful, but a huge success.

How to do personal branding with Buck Wise

Buck Wise, co-founder of the Wise Property Group, got his start in radio, working for Clear Channel (now known as iHeartRadio). He worked his way up quickly to being one of the top radio personalities before moving to CBS and later founding his own full-service digital agency.

Many of the lessons he learned from working at Clear Channel still apply today, and you can apply them to your own personal branding. You have to be captivating to an audience. Radio measures “TSL” or time spent listening, and this concept is the same on modern social media and content creation apps.

1- Get out of your own way.

Too many agents are sabotaging their own efforts by responding to imaginary criticism. Every detail gets magnified in your head, “warts and all,” and you need to learn to ignore that voice.

2- You need to create content consistently.

Consistently builds trust and trust builds conversion. Consistency also positively affects the internet algorithms that will get your content in front of more people. You won’t see the results right away, and then everything will grow quickly. As Mark Clear, author of Atomic Habits, points out, a bamboo tree groes underground first, so you can

3- Get it wrong to get it right. In other words, fail fast.

Many people will take good advice but not be able to implement it in a way that seems natural. But the only way to get it right is to practice, and that means being bad at it for a while.

4- Cut the crap.

Content creators (that’s you!) are often trying to fluff out their content and stretch it out. The proper way to get eyes on your content is to cut to the chase. Value your audience’s time and give them what they want, right away.

In order to do personal branding successfully, the rules for getting attention consistently are the whether you’re using the latest in state-of-the-art technology or sitting around a campfire. Learn how to do personal branding correctly by doing it consistently, giving yourself permission to be bad, and learning the lessons from your mistakes without punishing yourself for it. If you can grow your personal brand, you will be successful in business.

John DeMartini: From High School Dropout to Genius

John DeMartini, author of 40 books on personal development, was a success story no one expected. He literally did not know how to read well into his teenage years. He expected at the time that his career would go no further than working at a surf shop, but a chance encounter with alternative medicine pracitioner Paul C. Bragg led him to a breakthrough in his mindset. He had a vision of himself becoming a teacher one day, and he taught himself how to read and how to speak eloquently to achieve that goal.

Paul C. Bragg taught him an affirmation to say to himself every day: I am a genius when I apply my wisdom.” He used that wisdom to pass his G.E.D. exam. He used that wisdom to learn philosophy and reasoning skills. He used that wisdom to teach himself to speed read and how to absorb knowledge every day.

Having seen the success of this affirmation, when he was only an 18-year old student at Wharton, other students approached him and asked them to teach them the meditation and yoga practices that he did every day. As he taught more and more, he knew he had broken through when he heard another student whisper to another, “This guy’s a genius.”

He realized the power of that affirmation, and what’s more, he could create the life he wanted if he expanded that statement and lived his expanded affirmation every day. He wrote other affirmations and power statements, over 20 pages of them, and he keeps it on his computer and even updates it from time to time to this day.

He had a breakthrough when he realized that he wanted to go from “genius” to “mastery.” He worked on what the definition of mastery was and how to accomplish it. His “masterful life” plan went from a few sentences to 33 volumes, and every day he works to achieve that mastery, because remember that mastery is a journey, not a destination.

John DeMartini went from a “stupid” kid who couldn’t read to a “genius” in a few short years by having the breakthrough that his history is not his destiny. He was able to shape the life he wanted and live is by having a breakthrough in his mindset.

How to do hard things with Kevin and Tina Caul

Kevin and Tina Caul, founders of the Caul Group, and a happily married couple, joined me on the podcast this week to discuss their life and their story. This interview has a lot of great takeaways, but to me the specific through-line that stands out the most is that they have gone headfirst into doing things that are difficult, knowing the payoff is worth it.

Here, then, are some of the hard things that Kevin & Tina Caul have done:

Getting into selling real estate

They began their interest in real estate when they were looking for their own first home. They really connected with the real estate agent, and he suggested that Tina get her own real estate license because she had the personality to be successful in that competitive field. At first she wasn’t interested in being a salesperson, but after some convincing, she became a licensed real estate agent at 23 years old.

Moving and selling real estate in a new city

Before they moved from Michigan to North Carolina, Kevin got his real estate license and learned what he needed to know from Tina to get started, and made a one-year plan to go from Michigan to somewhere warm and sunny, which turned out to be North Carolina. The most difficult part of moving was figuring out the ins and outs of a new area, as a real estate agent needs to really have their finger on the pulse of a town and know the things that Zillow and Google can’t tell you. As the saying goes: fake it till you make it!

How to balance work and home life as a couple who works and lives together

Many married couples are not able to balance work and home life, but Kegin and Tina Caul pull it off by having boundaries and agreeing to a plan. In their case, Tina does the majority of work in their real estate business, and Kevin stays home with the kids. He literally spends most of the day napping and taking care of the house as if he’s retired! It isn’t for everyone, but it definitely works for these two.

How to handle selling real estate in a bear market

No matter how good or bad the market is, customers, deep down, are all the same. Know what questions they will ask and how to overcome objections. There is no one who is looking to buy a home that will have some new insight or question that no one else has ever had.

Watch this video to learn how to do hard things, and hear the whole story.

Jairek Robbins on How He Became the Next Big Thing in Personal Development

KPI stands for key performance indicator. Usually, this refers to the amount of money that a business is making. The most common KPIs are Revenue, Profit margin, and client retention.

KPI is usually limited to what can actually be measured. Businesses are constantly creating and reviewing data. But personal KPIs are a new concept. It isn’t exactly practical, for example, to carry around a notepad and make a note every time you tell your spouse you

love them, and then take some graph paper and make a line graph at the end of the month.

The internet of things (IoT), also called “wearable tech” can track things we never thought possible only a decade ago. Things like real-time blood sugar levels, your heart rate 24 hours a day, your REM sleep, etc.

On this episode of the Michael Valdes Global Podcast, I interview Jairek Robbins. One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is how much I learned about how he tracks personal KPIs using wearable tech. Here are three of the things he tracks, and how:

Mood Meter

Measuring your emotions has come a long way since mood rings in 1975. Today we have apps that can track your mood. When you open the app, it gives you a range of emotions and energy levels to choose from, and tracks it for you.

Levels: Blood Sugar

Diabetics would track their blood sugar by taking a sample of blood, sometimes several times a day. This would be a painful process, not to mention it’s hard to keep needles safely organized and then dispose of them when you are done. Today, it’s so easy to track your blood sugar by using a patch that you can wear on your arm that people in good health and even elite athletes opt to wear a patch to monitor their blood sugar levels and get insights to their diet and behavior.

Health Apps/Phone Pedometers

Phones today have built in sensors that can act as pedometers. It’s pretty common to hear people talking about getting their “10,000 steps in” because you can burn one pound of fat if you take 10,000 steps every day. Just because your phone tracks it doesn’t necessarily mean that you actually look at the phone and keep track. If you track the data by opening the app and making adjustments to your behavior, you will increase your personal KPIs.

If you want to learn more about how to track your health, watch this episode to see how Jairek Robbins does it. These are just a few of the insights and personal stories that Jairek shares on this episode of the podcast.

Real estate coaching expert Jay Kinder shows you how to dominate the market

Jay is the co-host of the popular podcast Face to Face with Jay Kinder and Michael Reese, and a real estate agent at eXp Global. He has sold over 4,300 homes and also now teaches the lessons he learned along the way advise to other real estate agents as part of his consulting business.

Be an expert by knowing what regular people can’t find on the internet.

Be a local expert. Know the area you are selling in, and not just properties, but the makeup of the town, the places to go, and what the people are like. There’s so much that a person who knows the area well can share that you can’t get on a listing. There’s also the experience of being an investor and understanding market cycles, as first-time buyers are often unsure about whether buying is a good investment.

Focus on adding value to people’s lives, and do it as much as you can in as many ways as you can.

Whoever it may be that you’re working with or have in your social circle or family, give as much value as you can and things will have a habit of working out in your favor.

Know how to expand your business

Understand the vehicle that you’re in and how it can get you to a place of financial freedom. By vehicle, that means the investing style, or skill, or specialty that you are involved in. The more you understand about your chosen profession, the better you will be at it.

Push yourself to learn

Jay was very lucky to have a father that was so passionate about learning that he would pay Jay, when he was young, to listen to educational audio tapes. As he matured, it became clear that a lifelong passion for learning was instrumental in his success.

If you want to succeed in real estate, it takes much more than knowing numbers and understanding property values. You have to understand the values of a community, not just its property values. You have to continue to push yourself to learn and humble yourself to know you’ll never know everything. And always add value to the people around you. If you keep these in mind, you can be successful in real estate or any other career you choose.

John Marrone | Manage Time and Set Goals to Achieve Mastery with John Marrone

3 tips for setting goals to create a bigger impact in your life and business by John Marrone.

To create an impact, you have to take the right steps that will not only help you meet your goals as a person and an entrepreneur, but also set an example that with effort, sacrifice and commitment.

Everything is possible…but, to achieve this it’s essential to know how to set goals and objectives.

Learn the 4 tips that will help you create a bigger impact on yourself and your business, just like John Marrone did.

#1 A bad decision will take you to difficult places

Life is full of circumstances that will bring out the best and worst in you, so it’s up to you to make the right decisions that will build the future you want to create. When you make the easy choice in the moment, it will often give you a harder life in the long run.

But, if you do make bad choices and mistakes, own them, and accept that your life is the result of those past mistakes. You can always improve in the future. When people label you as a failure, ignore that label and let go of the past.

#2 Where does your trust and faith come from?

It’s easy to feel desperate when you’re experiencing complicated situations in your life. But to get out of it you have to believe in yourself, in your abilities and see beyond what you’re experiencing. Only then can you focus on your goals.

Remember that your faith is that reinforcement that motivates you to take better actions to achieve your goals.

#3 Be grateful

No matter what kind of situation you’re experiencing, always be grateful, because there is always the opportunity to make your life better, and someone else always has it worse than you. Have the faith to persevere through bad times. Gratitude creates dopamine and serotonin in your brain, which will improve your physical and mental health, which will in turn make you a better leader.

Follow these 3 tips and implement it to be able to create a bigger impact.
