Money is Not Evil Podcast

Real estate investing is a proven way to build wealth, but it can be an intimidating industry to enter. The truth is, though, you don’t need a ton of money or experience to get started. Mike Andes explains how to get started in real estate investing for beginners in this video. Regular UpFlip viewers know Mike better for his landscaping business, Augusta Lawn Care. Mike was investing in real estate before he started his business, especially impressive when you realize he’s only now in his mid-twenties. He currently makes an average of $40,000 every month off of his twenty-three units, and that income is completely passive. Today, Mike shares his real-world insights on how to invest in real estate. You’ll find out how much money you really need to get started and what types of real estate are the best to invest in as a beginner. He’ll also share where he finds the properties he invests in, what he looks for to know whether it’s a smart investment, and what to do with the properties after you’ve invested to turn them into passive income streams.

Aaron Amuchastegui excels at helping people buy real estate at a discount, and he’s turned that expertise into a thriving real estate business. Between his tools—like Lead Propeller, Prophawk, and Roddy’s Foreclosure Listing—and the more than 800 properties he owns across Texas, his businesses generate a quarter million dollars in revenue every month. Learn how he started and grew his real estate investing business in this interview. Aaron started his first real estate business in 2009, just after the housing crash forced the California company where he’d worked as a realtor to downsize. He drew on his real estate expertise to invest in foreclosed properties, building a hedge fund from scratch and flipping over 1,000 homes in 3 years. That success was short lived, however. Competition from large investment firms forced his business to close and led to Aaron shifting his focus to properties in Texas. The lessons he learned growing that first real estate business proved beneficial when he started investing again in 2015. In this episode, he’ll share what he did differently the second time around, as well as his advice for other new investors to avoid making the same missteps. Today, Aaron’s business goes beyond simply investing. He’s expanded into the technology side of real estate investment, starting with his purchase of Roddy’s Foreclosure Listing in 2017. We’ll learn why he decided to broaden his focus to include investor tools and how he’s achieved consistent year-over-year growth with the listing service since he acquired it.

Jim Rohn's best sayings over the years: - We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment. - Nobody on this world will become their best version of themselves until they start practicing consistent self discipline. Jim Rohn is the godfather of personal development, and for the daily discipline and motivation, watch this every day to have consistent growth in your life. - Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. - Success is something you attract by the person you become. - Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure. - Learn to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you dream. - Walk away from the 97 percent crowd. Don’t use their excuses. Take charge of your own life. - When you know what you want, and you want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it. - Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present. - We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. - If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary. - If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree. - Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. - Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom.

Josh Pather started a photo booth rental business as a side hustle in 2012. Within three years, his company was doing 850 events a year—and that was just the start of the growth spurt that landed it on Inc. 5000’s list of the fastest-growing companies in Texas in 2020. Josh talks us through the steps in his entrepreneurial journey in this episode. The idea to start a photo booth business came to Josh while he was working as an event DJ. He built his first photo booth from scratch and started renting it out for weekend events, all while working a job for a large company during the week. When his job was moved overseas, Josh took this as a sign it was time to focus on his business full-time. By 2015, Josh was facing the best problem a business owner can have: He had more business than he could handle, with as many as 10 events happening on any given Saturday. He was also getting a lot of inquiries from people wondering where they could buy photo booths. This gave Josh the idea to start Photo Booth International, giving entrepreneurs a turnkey model they could use to start photo booth businesses of their own. Josh credits his business growth to a combination of hard work and his marketing expertise. In this interview, he’ll talk through the marketing strategy he used to build a customer base early on, and how he adjusted that strategy when he expanded into selling photo booths to entrepreneurs. We’ll also learn about some of the biggest challenges he faced when starting the business and how he overcame them to achieve such impressive growth.

John D’Eri started Rising Tide Car Wash with a mission: to create an opportunity for his autistic son, Andrew, and other neurodivergent adults who are often overlooked by employers. Not only have they succeeded in this mission, but they’ve built a 3-location, 7-figure business in the process. Co-founder and COO Thomas D’Eri explains how to start a car wash with this kind of profit potential in this episode. The D’Eris didn’t have any experience with running a car wash before they started Rising Tide. That’s the main reason they bought a struggling car wash business instead of building one from scratch, and that turned out to be a smart move. We’ll learn how they brought that first location back from the brink of failure in this video. They’ll also share the mistakes they made along the way and the lessons they learned that help them grow their second and third locations from the ground up. Inclusive hiring remains at the heart of Rising Tide’s mission, and is a key cornerstone of their success. Tom has even written the book on inclusive hiring and the benefits it can bring to businesses, The Power of Potential. They also started Rising Tide U to provide resources to other employers who want to hire neurodivergent team members. We’ll hear about this program and how they set their team up for success at Rising Tide in this interview.

In this video, Mikael Sant, founder of Sant Lines, will share his advice on how to start a trucking company from scratch. Mikael has always had an entrepreneurial spirit.

He founded Sant Lines in May of 2021, and in its first three months of operation, brought in more than $150,000 in revenue. In just over a year, he’s expanded from one truck to a fleet of five, with plans to grow even further by the end of 2022.

Sisters Jen and Jocelyn have grown their candle business from a side-hustle to a $500,000 a year revenue—and it all started with about a hundred bucks! We’ll learn how they did it in this interview. Turn your hobby into a business & save $1600 while you’re at it: Jocelyn first started making candles as a hobby and a way to give unique gifts to coworkers. She brought her sister Jen on board when she started selling her handcrafted candles at farmers markets. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Jocelyn took the leap to focus on her business full-time, and then Jen followed soon after.

Andrew Gomez was still in college when he started his trucking business, AJG Transport. Now, he’s grown from 2 trucks to a fleet of 80 with over $1 million a month in gross revenue. He’s sharing his tips to start a trucking company with fast growth potential in this episode. Andrew comes from an entrepreneurial family. His brother owned his own trucking business, too, and his parents had owned their own businesses before, as well, including one in the trucking industry. Their issue was that they didn’t know how to scale the company, something Andrew set about discovering when he started AJG Transport. Even with these knowledge resources to draw on, Andrew knew starting a trucking company wouldn’t be easy. He got himself a solid start by finding a niche market delivering for Amazon and invested all his profits back into the business to drive steady growth. The company’s big breakthrough happened when Andrew started building relationships with corporate executives to land big-ticket jobs. In this interview, he’ll share his advice for how to break into the corporate world as a small business owner and the strategy that made the difference in securing these jobs for AJG Transport.

Serial entrepreneur Abdulla Kudrath is a self-made millionaire who turned his passion for emergency medicine into a $1.9 million a month revenue across his more than a dozen businesses. He shares the strategies he’s used to achieve this success in this interview. Abdulla grew up as a first-generation American in a working class neighborhood of New Jersey. Like many people, Abdulla didn’t have a clear path for his future when he graduated high school. He did well in school and went to college for computer science, but he wasn’t passionate about that career choice–and it showed. He was a self-described “slacker” who put as much energy into playing video games as he did into his studies. All of that changed when he nearly failed out of school. That served as a wake-up call for him to find his passion and what truly brought him happiness, principles that have guided his entrepreneurial ventures since. He shifted from computer science to medicine and got the opportunity to travel to the Amazon, sparking a new passion for biology that led him to become an emergency room doctor. That laid the foundation for his future successes, both within the medical field and in other areas where he’s passionate, like collecting cars. Following his heart and passions helped Abdulla achieve his full potential, but that doesn’t mean his journey was easy. In this interview, we’ll hear the struggles he went through and the challenges he overcame, along with the sacrifices he had to make to get to where he is today. He’ll also share his advice for people who want to become millionaires, and why following your heart and passion is a better way to go about it than focusing on the money.
