In this episode of the podcast, I’m going to give you three ways that I am paying less taxes this year. I have made it very public over the last couple of years that I don’t like taxes very much. I don’t think taxes do a lot of good. I think taxes should be lower. I think entrepreneurs spend money wiser than government can, and that we should keep as much money in the hands of individuals and business owners as possible—and keep it out of the hands of politicians. I have done three things a little bit more intentionally this year. And I’m going to give you a couple of bonuses at the end of the three. There are three that I am personally doing that I would like to share with you, and then there are a couple of other recommendations that I will encourage you to look into as well. If you are an entrepreneur looking for the tactical strategies to help you pay less taxes and make more money, then you should come to our event in Austin, Texas, this December 7-9. It’s called The Capitalism Conference and tickets are

All physical product sellers face the challenge of getting enough eyeballs on their products and proving the viability of their business. Some enter the market and fail. Others attract people in a way that creates a community dedicated to the product as a solution to a problem they have. Quest Nutrition is a shining example of a successful brand that built a community. In this episode of the Freedom Fast Lane podcast, we share a clip from The Capitalism Conference (formerly Freedom Fast Lane Live) vault, featuring Tom Bilyeu. Tom pulls back the curtain and shares his secrets to Quest Nutrition's success. You'll hear what he and his business partners did in the early days to attract eyeballs and prove their business model, what decisions he made that helped Quest Nutrition scale, and how the brand stays viable in an ever-changing market. Tom has dedicated himself to building a successful business that has a mission to end metabolic disease. This is how empire builders think. If you want to start thinking like

If you look at someone like Bill Gates and all that he has accomplished, it's hard to fathom that he has the same number of hours in a day as everyone else. He doesn't have any more time in a day than anyone else. What he does with that time is what sets him apart, because Bill Gates is more high leverage than you or me. In today's episode of Freedom Fast Lane, guest host Matt Bodnar of The Science of Success podcast explains why there is a non-linear relationship between time and value creation, and how you can use high-leverage thinking to maximize value in the time you have. Think about the 80/20 rule and how it appears in all areas of life. In Matt's experience interviewing successful investors and entrepreneurs, the 80/20 rule is a common theme among them. There are two specific principles of high-leverage thinking. These two principles are common not only across the people Matt has interviewed, but the business titans of history - from John D. Rockefeller to Dale Carnegie. The first principle is to impr

Jesse Elder has made an incredible impact on my mindset. The first time we had a conversation, his words resonated with me so deeply that they've rung in my ears since. That conversation went something like this: He said life is the process of harvesting seeds that have been planted a long time ago. If you want to make changes in your life, the only way to do that is to start planting new seeds. I’ve thought about this idea quite a bit. I’ve since had Jesse on the podcast several times. He has become a dear friend, and that process of planting and harvesting new seeds has always stuck with me. It is so important to plant those seeds, to make incremental changes about where you’re going to go next. That is how you create your future. Today’s episode of the podcast features the live Q&A session with Jesse from The Capitalism Conference (formerly Freedom Fast Lane Live) 2015. In this session, Jesse shares this thought: “If we can approach life from a position of creativity, and we see ourselves as a creator,

Do you pursue the cutting edge, or keep your focus on what's actually moving the needle? It's a question entrepreneurs often reckon with. There's a tendency to follow what's hot, but it can easily distract from getting things done. In this episode of the podcast, Gary Vaynerchuk gives his answer: you have to do both. The only way to do both is to dial in your work process. Gary shares how he does it in this clip from The Capitalism Conference (formerly Freedom Fast Lane Live) vault. Gary ruthlessly structures his time so that he deploys both practical execution and future thinking every day. This is how empire builders think. If you want to start thinking like an empire builder, you need to surround yourself with them. The best place to do that is at this year’s Capitalism Conference, held December 7-9 in Austin, Texas. Grab your tickets today so you can get the playbook for how to build your empire.

Playing the stock market can be fun, but it’s high risk. Smart entrepreneurs understand that investing for cash flow is the right long-term play. One of the best vehicles for this is real estate investment. And with years of experience in the industry, Jason Hartman is the man who can tell you how to do it. Jason has utilized his own experiences and in-depth knowledge of the industry to build a company that helps others to fulfill the American dream of financial freedom through purchasing investment property.

Not a lot of people like to talk about it, but the fact is that many entrepreneurs don’t actually care about their businesses. They only care about the cash flow it produces. That’s why they got into it. But the idea of spending 15 hours a day working on a business they don’t care about, that they just want the cash flow from, sounds like a really terrible life. What often happens is this: an entrepreneur builds a cash flow business, ends up paying off their debt, and they’re are able to pay their bills. Sometime after that happens, they begin to complain about being handcuffed to their cash flow business. In this episode of the Freedom Fast Lane podcast, we share a clip from the 2015 Freedom Fast Lane Live Q&A session with Gary Vaynerchuk explores this idea. He shares how to get over the fear of going backward, and how to step back and use what you’ve learned in building that cash flow business to start something new that you actually care about. This is how empire builders think. If you want to start th

Jesse Itzler is a big believer in checking the box and moving on. When he gets a win, he will only celebrate for a night or two, then will think about what’s next. To build your life resume is to do as many things as you can. This means finding the next project rather than celebrating the success of the last one. This clip is from Freedom Fast Lane Live in December 2016, hosted in Austin, Texas. Ryan speaks to Jesse on his achievements and challenges in front of a live audience. When discussing Zico coconut water, Jesse talks about the emotional connection he had with the product and how he wanted to share the benefits with the world. After partnering with them to make it hot, Coca-Cola bought the company a few years later. He says that his biggest challenge in being a dad is recognizing that his kids are on their own journey. Jesse and his wife try to expose them to things which are hard, which they might fail at. There is a valuable lesson in letting your kids see things you do which are hard but rewarding.

This episode of Freedom Fast Lane was recorded live at The Amazing Seller. Ryan talks about being an entrepreneur and going all in to build something bigger than himself. When Ryan was growing up, it never occurred to him that he should wait for someone else to decide when his life should change. After reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, he committed himself to doing whatever it would take to be financially free. When he read that 10% of people make 90% of the wealth, he simply decided he would get to be in that 10%. It is easier now than it has ever been to build a seven or eight figure business. The days of selling on Amazon by finding a product and throwing it online are over, and you have to think bigger than that. Start by building your brand. Create a controlled area for your audience so you can sell to them. Be willing to suck until you don’t suck anymore. Listen to Ryan’s presentation from The Amazing Seller for the simple roadmap to building an eight-figure business. Getting to one million is a simple formul

Hey Fast Laners! We are gearing up for The Capitalism Conference which is going on here in Austin, Texas, December 7th, 8th and 9th. I have had several great conversations with both our Backroom members, and some of our Tribe members who have that $1 million in sight (or have it in their rear view mirror, who have hit a certain point). They're not quite sure how they're going to grow their business from where it is to really what they want it to be, and they want it to be as big as possible. They want to have as big an empire as possible. They want something that maybe they can build and sell some day. I wanted to put together an episode for you that went over the three areas where you need to be investing if you want to grow beyond that $1 million mark. These are the three areas that once you have a product up and selling in the world, are really going to exponentially grow the company.

I've built the eight-figure empire. Now I'm taking what I know and I'm building the nine figure empire. But I've never done that before. So I've invited a group of entrepreneurial empire builders and business thought leaders who have built eight- and nine-figure companies, who have built billion-dollar empires, to share all of their best strategies with me and some other entrepreneurial empire builders in Austin, Texas this December 7th, 8th, and 9th at The Capitalism Conference. Together we're focusing on those three areas, and you can join us.

Amazon is full of entrepreneurs looking to take their physical product brand to the next level. For business owners entering the market, it can be daunting to see so many products dominating so many niches. Is it even possible to compete anymore? Casey Gauss founded Viral Launch to help Amazon sellers find what’s possible and has helped physical product brands make huge profits. They’ve worked with 5,500 brands, and have an incredible perspective on the space which gives them their biggest advantage. Potential Amazon sellers are often intimidated by the perceived market domination of competitors. Casey talks about why the perception isn’t the same as the reality. On this episode of Freedom Fast Lane, Casey explains how he helps brands to source products understand what markets look like and how profitable they are, and how to optimize listings for maximum conversions. Having helped on over 20,000 product launches on Amazon, Casey knows how to drive sales as quickly as possible. If you’re a business making six

The key to financial freedom is predictable cash flow, not a pile of cash sitting in the bank. How do you create an investment strategy so that you can get to a stage where you don’t have to work anymore? In this episode of Freedom Fast Lane, we are joined by the cash flow savage Mauricio Rauld. Filmed at one of our Backroom events in Costa Rica, we talk about what entrepreneurs can do to get cash flow to ultimately feel satisfied. If you have a million dollars in the bank, see it as how much money you can make in a year from cash flow investments. When your cash flow is predictable, you get comfortable enough to take strategic risks to continue to grow your income. Mauricio calls himself asset agnostic. He’s into alternative assets, like mobile park home investment. You’ll never see him putting his money into Wall Street, and yet his income rivals those who do. Be prepared to take advantage of opportunities by being aware of and paying attention to what’s going on in the market. Four Peaks Capital Partners,

Want to safely keep money liquid, accessible whenever an investment opportunity arises, while earning tax-free interest with no risk of losing the money? In this episode of Freedom Fast Lane, Sam Prentice of Wealthpoint shares the mindblowing financial possibilities of using his capital warehouse strategy. This allows entrepreneurs to ‘participate in the upside without having risk in the downside’. By using a life insurance policy which pays a rate of return based on market performance, you keep money in your pocket. Sam shares how strategy allowed one of his clients to create an additional $8 million to his balance sheet, and how simple it is for you to do it too. Instead of having money sitting in a bank, move it to your capital warehouse. Earn tax-free interest on it, and wait for the right opportunity in the market cycle or in your business to deploy that capital. Key takeaways: How long-term debt can create huge ROI Keeping money liquid to avoid investment opportunity costs Turning an $800k loan into $8

Ryan Daniel Moran has been called an Amazon Expert and is well-known for his ability to maximize profits by creating raving fans, not just customers. Ryan believes that entrepreneurs and business owners are best positions to go out and make the change they want to see. He believes that entrepreneurs can execute faster and more effectively than many major brands. In this episode, Ryan shares his “12 Months to 1 Million” strategy, the two functions every business should have, and great customer management techniques. How To Create Raving Fans Ryan clarifies that just selling a product should not be the end goal for businesses who want to create a strong brand loyalty, or what he calls “raving fans.” His emphasis is that business owners have to shift their mindset from managing products to managing customers. If done correctly, he says, internet entrepreneurs can build a business with repeat customers, as well as rank new products much faster. The Two Functions of a Business The function of a business is not to
