    10. Why “Smart Money” is Hoarding Cash and Preparing for 2025 w/M.C. Laubscher

    How does “smart money” always seem to be ahead of the curve? The world’s most prominent investors, like Warren Buffett, are slowly selling off their assets and moving their positions into cash. Do they know something that we don’t? What are they preparing for in 2025? And is this next economic cycle going to help or hurt average investors? Instead of speculating, M.C. Laubscher, alternative wealth strategist and founder of Cashflow Ninja, will teach you how to think like the wealthy. M.C. has noticed more of the “smart money” moving their assets into cash—but why? As with any market cycle, you can make money in the peaks and the valleys, so does now signal a great time to get out of your investments? Not necessarily. I’m talking to M.C. about what drives these economic cycles so you can use the same strategies as the ultra-rich to build your wealth in ANY market conditions. M.C. shares what to pay attention to in this cycle, what to do with your cash when waiting on the sidelines, and why the wealthy aren’t scared but are “preparing” for what’s about to come.    Insights from today’s episode:  Why “smart money” is selling off their assets (slowly) and moving into cash Understanding economic cycles and how to make money at the top and the bottom Economic “wild cards” that investors MUST be aware of, especially in 2025  Artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and whether or not we’re at the peak  How freezing during market volatility will cost you in the long run Can anyone actually time the market?    Cashflow Ninja: https://cashflowninja.com/  Get Wealthy for Sure: https://producerswealth.mykajabi.com/get-wealthy-for-sure  ShadowStats: https://www.shadowstats.com/  Truflation: https://truflation.com/

Today, I’m talking to them about real estate, self-storage, partnerships, and their many ventures across the last thirty-five years. What has led to their enormous success? They’ve failed. They’ve been broke. But despite all types of challenges and hardships, they’ve stayed true to the “fundamentals” of business. By eliminating ego and greed, prioritizing the customer’s needs, and reinvesting their profits back into their portfolio, Mike and Bo have built a nine-figure empire that most aspiring entrepreneurs only dream of attaining.

    In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the massive red wave from last night’s election and what it means for investors, business owners, and anyone paying attention to the economy. We’ve got one party in control of the House, Senate, and White House, and this shift is going to impact everything from inflation and interest rates to government spending and market growth. I’ll explain why the Democrats’ campaign didn’t resonate with voters, what policies we might see from the new administration, and where the biggest opportunities and risks lie in this changing landscape. Whether you’re in real estate, investing, or just want to understand how to adapt to the new environment, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. Tune in and let’s talk strategy.

    Real estate investors and entrepreneurs: if you pay attention to what today’s guest explains, your wealth, revenue, and successful decision-making will explode. This is something I’ve personally found evidence of while running multiple businesses, and even though it seems simple, it can have profound effects on everything you do. If you get this right, your business will reach new heights, and you’ll have a crystal clear vision of what to do next. Today, I’m talking to Sharad Mehta, the founder of real estate technology company REsimpli. You might be surprised to find out that Sharad built this tech company with zero experience in coding and NO tech background.

Simple: data-driven decision-making. It’s the secret sauce behind Sharad’s astounding success, and today, he’s sharing how it’ll take your business to a whole new level. If you have the right data and know which direction you want to go, you can make the best, evidence-based decisions that’ll take the guesswork out of entrepreneurship and leave you with a lot more money.  Insights from today’s episode:  How real estate tech and data can make you a FAR more successful investor  The data-driven decisions that ANY entrepreneur can make to succeed far faster (and more often!) How Sharad build a real estate tech company from scratch with zero coding experience  Why being “passive” in your real estate business will cost you severely  How to figure out which marketing channels have the highest ROI (so you can double down!)

  7. 5. The Twitter “War” on Investors and Why Most Americans Shouldn’t Invest

    5. The Twitter “War” on Investors and Why Most Americans Shouldn’t Invest

    For years, I thought every American should be investing. After all, it’s the American dream to work hard, build wealth, own property, and lead your family to financial prosperity. But I’ve changed my tune after recent events, probably for good. I no longer think most Americans can handle the pressure of owning businesses, real estate, or an extensive investment portfolio. So, my question to you is, can you handle what it takes to build something great? Over the last few weeks, I’ve seen a “war” on Twitter break out against general partners and real estate operators, with passive investors attacking them for providing sub-optimal returns. Did these general partners do anything wrong, or were they merely acting to defend the asset that provides their investor’s returns? This made me think, “Am I next?” In this episode, I’m taking time to break down my investing philosophy and explain why my mind has changed about everyday Americans investing. Make no mistake: You CAN build substantial wealth investing in real estate, especially in 2024. But if you’re not ready to take your fair share of bumps, bruises, and scrapes along the way, you might as well just get out now. Insights from today’s episode:  The latest Twitter “war” against investors and why everyone is up in arms  Who should (and definitely should NOT) be investing in 2024  The opportunities that you can take advantage of NOW that most Americans ignore Why the middle class is struggling in today’s economy, and why most won’t build wealth  Millennials’ profound misunderstanding of how markets and investing work  What to do now if you want to get ahead of the masses and the danger you must be prepared to face

    4. 80-Hour Workweeks to Ultimate Passive Income and Time Freedom

    After another 80-hour workweek and realizing his kids’ lives were passing him by, Spencer Hilligoss knew he needed to start making passive income. The problem? His time was chained to his tech job’s high pay and long hours. Spencer loved what he did, but the job took away more than he was comfortable with. He hadn’t seen his young son in weeks, and it was eating away at him. He made a plan that wouldn’t be easy to accomplish: build an $8,000/month passive income stream. He gave himself over a decade to achieve it. Thankfully, it took less than half the time. Now, Spencer is a full-time passive investor and real estate syndicator, helping others who want to regain their time freedom invest so their money can go further. In today’s episode, Spencer shares his story of leaving a thirteen-year career to venture out into the unknown, regaining his time and investing in truly passive income, and why you DON’T actually want to retire (you really want something else). And if you’re interested in passive investing, stick around. Spencer and AJ talk through the CRUCIAL questions you MUST ask before investing in a real estate syndication and how to tell who you’re investing with will pull through on the returns they’re promising you.    Insights from today’s episode:  How to make enough passive income that you can replace your salary and live the way you want Crucial questions to ask any syndicator BEFORE you invest a cent into their deals Why financial literacy is essential to building wealth, and why even most adults don’t have this The retirement lie you’re telling yourself and why you don’t really want to vacation forever How to start building your financial moat even if you’re a busy professional Defining your why and how to know whether greed or purpose is driving you — Invest with Spencer
