Today, we're sitting down with Jeffrey Hayzlett, a renowned business mogul and thought leader, to explore the concept of leverage and its pivotal role in his career. Episode Highlights: Jeffrey Hayzlett provides a comprehensive definition of leverage, describing it as the strategic utilization of various resources—such as capital, power, and influence—to achieve one's objectives more effectively and efficiently. He recalls his early experiences with leveraging resources during his childhood, where he enlisted other kids to help him mow lawns, showcasing his innate talent for strategic thinking and resource management. A central theme of Hayzlett's approach to leveraging is creating mutually beneficial scenarios. He stresses the importance of ensuring that all parties involved derive value, underscoring the role of power and influence in crafting successful outcomes. The conversation takes an intriguing turn as Hayzlett shares how his appearance on "The Apprentice" served as a leverage point to boost his career. He discusses strategically featuring a Kodak product during the show, which not only increased the brand's visibility but also opened doors to numerous opportunities in television, consulting, and branding. Offering insight into his strategic mindset, Hayzlett advises listeners on starting with the end goal in mind, understanding the needs and challenges of the other party, and devising solutions that address those needs to achieve success through leverage. The episode wraps up with an exploration of how effectively applying the concept of leverage can profoundly influence one's career trajectory and personal brand, particularly in the competitive business landscape.

This high-stress environment resulted in insomnia, early graying, and frequent illness for her. However, a transformative encounter with meditation not only healed her but ignited a passion she had to share.

Teresa Young grew up witnessing firsthand the challenges men face, particularly in the realm of relationships. As the youngest of three, she observed her father's experiences, navigating a life where he often felt emasculated.

Never lose your authenticity, and build strong relationships with your clients. ✅ Give back to your local community.

On this I Own It episode we welcome Brendan Kane, innovation strategist, best-selling author of One Million Followers: How I built a massive online social following in 30 days, and who for the last decade has worked on improving online strategies for Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Disney. He's is a ninja at optimising analytics, data and paid media to help companies achieve massive social media and business growth. When Brendan set out to achieve his one million followers he was aware that the people he worked with had the advantage of fame and influence. He wanted to see if he could use that he'd learned to build an audience for someone unknown - someone building a following from scratch. He put it into practice and one month later had one million followers on Facebook. He says the experience changed his life and he wrote the book to hopefully impact yours. Now the interesting piece of this puzzle is that Brendan is very much an introvert. But he’s also incredibly scientific when it comes to figuring out how these platforms work. In a nutshell, he discovered that if you want your content to be seen by a lot of people, then you have to befriend the algorithm. And if you want to befriend the algorithm, you simply need to follow the three steps that he’s going to share with you here today in this incredibly valuable interview. While social media definitely has its faults today, it is also an incredible opportunity to share your message, your products, and your services with the world in a way that’s never been possible before. But there is a war being played out every single day for the eyeballs and attention of your audience. How do you win that war? By winning over the algorithm. If you’re ready to learn how to do exactly that, please get ready to take some notes, and help me welcome, Brendan Kane.

Kenney Conwell is an Atlanta-based financial education coach and wealth strategist. He created MyMoneyEDU to help people learn how to fix, improve, and maintain excellent credit. His services help people reduce their taxes, increase their cash flow, and build their net worth. Unlike credit “fixes,” Kenney’s educational resources teach members how to use proven wealth principles to make a long-term impact on their credit scores and financial success. From this experience, Kenney grew obsessed with learning everything he could about credit. He didn’t just want to learn about credit scores. Instead, he uncovered strategies used by “insiders” on how to get credit, leverage it, and use that credit to build wealth. He learned to protect financial assets from loss using the same blueprint one-percenters use to grow their wealth. After learning everything he could about finances and credit, Kenney created MyMoneyEDU . This site offers financial education that shows people how to restore their credit. They learn the principles necessary to maintain excellent credit permanently. Kenny also works with high-level business owners, teaching them how to stop using their own money to grow their business. Instead, they learn how to use other people’s money to expand or scale their businesses. MyMoneyEDU seeks to offer time freedom and financial freedom to first-generation millionaires. They do this by learning to leverage four resources: Leverage a cash flow system: members learn to focus on increasing personal income by starting their own business or working a side hustle. Leverage personal and business credit: although the saying is “cash is king,” the truth is that credit is queen. Use both personal and business credit to maximize your ability to generate wealth. Leverage the stock market: members learn how to invest actively or passively in stocks. MyMoneyEDU tells them to start by investing in companies they use every day (like their toothpaste company, streaming service, or favorite restaurant chains). Leverage tax planning: members learn that when tax planning is done correctly, they can avoid overpaying on taxes. This is known as tax avoidance, a strategy utilized by the wealthy to hold onto their wealth. Kenney manages his personal and business finance with the same tools and strategies provided to his members and clients. He really practices what he preaches. He’s leveraged business credit to grow and scale his company. Cash flow management and asset appreciation have helped fund strategic growth. Kenney’s vision for the future is bright. He hopes to eliminate the wealth gap in minority communities by 10% before he leaves this earth. His current target is to help a million members achieve a 700 credit score or better by 2030.

This episode of the I Own It podcast was a fun one as we dive3 into a great conversation with Oliver Graf, Co-Foundeer and President of Big Block Realty, Open escrow, Transaction Monster and well known speaker and real estate invesotr. He has an incredible story and offers an abundance of wealth. We were able to dive into the history of Big Block, what they’re doing differently, and how they are using creative strategies to disrupt the industry. As one of the top, fastest-growing brokerages in the nation, it’s exciting to see where Oliver and his team are heading! Causing Disruption One of the many reasons why Big Block has been so successful is because of the way they run their business. Standing out wasn’t an option, it was something they knew they needed to do. Their logo, branding colors, and commission structure are unlike anyone else in the business. They charge their agents a small flat fee each month, in turn allowing them to keep 100% of their commissions. Big Block combines both a brick and mortar office building, with the most cutting-edge technology available. Their creative marketing has helped them to recruit agents, allowing them to franchise the business to locations outside of California. One of the most proven ways to build wealth is by creating multiple streams of income. You don’t want to be stuck or reliant on transactions forever. Oliver is a big fan of “bolting on” services in order to provide better service for his clients. A few of the examples he suggested include: Owning your own brokerage if you are a high-volume agent or investor. Buy a moving truck and offer your services to clients who are buying or selling. Partner with a solar company to collect referral fees for all of the clients whom you refer and eventually buy. Start a title company. While it can be expensive to set up, it can pay off if you are high-volume. If you are a brokerage, create a transaction coordinator position and offer the services to the agents you work with. Start your own marketing business to not only serve your needs, but to also work with other agents and investors. You could also start a photography business, offering your services to other agents and businesses in your area If you get creative, there are many other services you can offer your clients as an agent or investor. They say, in order to grow your business, you need: more customers, you need to charge more per customer, or you need to turn your customers into repeat buyers, giving you money on more than one occasion.

For sales professionals, empathy in sales is essential because, without a relationship, there’s no trust. Don’t reserve it exclusively for deals you’re trying to close immediately. We have Jerry Acuff , CEO & Founder at DeltaPoint , as our guest this week on the I Own It podcast with host Ben Reinberg. Jerry was a reluctant salesperson. When he realized his dream of becoming a college football coach wouldn’t come true, he stumbled into sales. He says so himself that he would never hire himself. Every step of the way, Jerry has remained humble to his success. Jerry drops his vast amount of knowledge with us; do what is right by your customer—even if that means they don’t do business with you—trust is the most important thing you can have with a customer. Empathy in sales has to be there right along with trust and the art of listening well. “People buy things from people they like; people buy from people they like and trust.” Jerry’s expertise has led to numerous awards and recognitions, including the title of one of the 50 best salespeople of all time and one of the top 10 sales experts in the world, according to salesgurus.net.

Key Quotes: “Motivation is short-lived. You can go to a weekend seminar and get motivated and then come Tuesday sitting in bed with the sh** over your head. Because you can't handle life. Motivation died out. Happiness is short-lived too. Happiness is something that you get at the end of a cycle. You go buy a new car. You're happy because you accomplish a goal. ‘Hey, I'm happy!’ is momentary. So I'm not out there necessarily teaching or talking about trying to obtain happiness. I think what I'm out there trying to say is if you have a life, a desire, and a goal, what you're trying to accomplish, whatever your desired ideal scene is in life, the only you're going to get there is through discipline.” - Vick Tipnes “You do have to be resource-rich. You bring in the right resources or whatever business you're in. But at the end of the day, every day is not going to be perfect. And I agree with you that you should keep pushing forward. I think people must learn and find out what their mission and purpose is. Then every day, if you're working within that purpose or that mission, that's where you have the energy. That's where you show up. That's where your persistence is. And I see that a lot.” - Ben Reinberg “
