The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth Justin Donald

Today, I’m talking with my friend, and one of the original members of The Lifestyle Investor Mastermind group, Asim Hafeez. 

Asim is also the owner and president of Empower Energy Solutions – a solar panel business that’s brought in over $200 million in revenue to date. 

While that’s definitely impressive, his success didn’t come without having to overcome some major setbacks as an entrepreneur. But as you’ll come to hear in our conversation, his stick-to-itiveness and selfless leadership allowed him to persevere. 

You’re also going to hear us talk about how he got started as a Lifestyle Investor and why seemingly small wins – like covering the cost of Netflix – meant so much in the beginning. Nowadays, Asim’s passive income covers much more than that, and allows him to live life on his terms. 




In this episode, you’ll learn:




✅ The lifetime value of one coaching call – and why Asim believes that the ROI of the Lifestyle Investor Mastermind is infinite.

✅ The story of how Asim saved a failing solar company – and why he’s helping his employees create a job optional life.  

✅ Asim’s strategies for creating passive income – and the steps anyone can take to cover their monthly expenses (even the smallest obligations), so they can start to build a life on their terms.

Today, I’m talking to Jim Dew, who is the CEO and Founder of Dew Wealth Management – a firm that builds virtual family offices, specifically for entrepreneurs.

You may be wondering, what exactly is a virtual family office? Well, entrepreneurs and investors typically have a number of professionals in their corner to help manage their wealth – attorneys, accountants, insurance agents, bankers, and more. The problem is, these specialists don’t always communicate with one another. And if there’s no coordination or united vision, it can really hurt how the wealth gets managed.

Traditional family offices fix this by assembling a dedicated team offering personalized financial services. But they're costly, usually reserved for those with over $200M.

That’s where the virtual family office comes in. By offering services virtually, operating costs are drastically cut, allowing entrepreneurs to access expert advice previously exclusive to the super-rich.

THIS is what today’s episode is all about. Jim’s going to share insights from nearly 30 years of experience building virtual family offices. You’ll learn what to look for when hiring a team and unique strategies to protect, manage, and grow your wealth!

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

 

✅ The asset protection playbook for every stage of your business, including insights into different practical tax scenarios.

✅ The criteria for evaluating top-tier tax and wealth advisors and why having “A players” on your team is non-negotiable for managing wealth.

✅ Strategies for smartly applying the Augusta Rule, the tax advantages of HSAs, and the strategic benefits of employing your children.

In today’s episode, we’re flipping the script! If you tuned in to last week’s episode, you would have heard me interviewing my friend, Cal Callahan, where we talked all about the major shift he’s made to his investing strategy, focusing less on building his net-worth, and more on cash-flow and passive income strategies that will allow him to achieve lifestyle freedom. 

This week, Cal’s interviewing me on his amazing podcast, The Great Unlearn, where we go even deeper into the world of passive income to uncover the strategies that are often overlooked by many investors too eager to make a quick buck rather than focusing on substantial, long-term rewards.




In this episode, you’ll learn:




✅ Alternative investing strategies such as leveraging debt, tapping into private equity, and exploring industrial outdoor storage spaces.

✅ The largely untapped potential in mobile home parks and industrial real estate, especially with zoning laws becoming more accommodating - making these sectors highly promising for future investments.

✅ The massive impending wealth transfer projected to exceed $100 trillion and strategies for capitalizing on this shift through savvy cash flow management and off-market deals.

You’re also going to hear how maximizing my health & fitness AND what’s in store for the expanded edition of The Lifestyle Investor book.
