How To Manage Multiple Successful Businesses And Do Rewarding Work

In today’s episode of The Art of Passive Income, Mark and Scott talk to Nicholas Coriano, founder of Homeskape.com. Nicholas is a definite go-getter in the business world. His ambition started as a child and at the age of 15 he was obsessed with magic and spent hours practicing which led to real gigs. He would charge $125 for a half hour magic show while his friends worked hard to make that in a week—and that was his first a-ha moment; if you practice hard at something and get good at it, it will bring you a lot of money. Nicholas’ second a-ha moment came a few years later when he bought a domain for practically nothing and sold it at a 3000% return.

Nicholas is a true genius when it comes to business. His goal is to create businesses that help the world. Nicholas offers up some great advice:

• Build a virtual team so you can go bigger with the things you enjoy doing.
• Stay up on motivated people in the industry. It helps break down walls when it comes to building businesses.
• 3 things you need: belief, desire, and a plan
• 3 things you don’t need: fear, doubt, and indecision
• Save money! Have a reserve.

There is a lot of great advice in this episode, including different variables to think about when purchasing land. And Scott finds one of Nicholas’ businesses online that leave both him and Mark speechless! Plus, hear why Nicholas throws the conventional wisdom, focus-focus-focus, right out of the window. You don’t want to miss this!

It’s time to take massive action with whatever it is. Test an idea, if it works slowly build it up. Figure out a way to outsource and automate it and then go into the next thing.

So when life throws things at you, either Do It right there, Delegate It to someone else, Defer It in time, or Drop It altogether from your mind so you can move on.

In today’s episode of The Art of Passive Income, Mark and Scott talk with Paul Kirch from BOSS Academy Radio — Business-Ownership-Success-Strategies.

Paul’s expertise is in sales, sales strategy, entrepreneurial motivation, business success stories and coaching. He started out working for other people but always knew he wanted something more. So after 21 years he took a leap of faith in 2009 and started his own company. He now helps other entrepreneurs come up with effectively usable concepts that allow them to sell more effectively without being sellsy.

It’s hard to leave the comfort of working for a company when you’re bringing in a steady paycheck. Paul says don’t leave it until you are sure!

Once you have taken that leap then what?

• Start by systemizing your business as much as you can.
• Build a model which has the opportunity to grow into something in which you have resources so you’re able to spread yourself out a little more.

[bctt tweet=”Remove yourself from the business—Create systems, processes and automate so you’re not tied to it.” username=”TheLandGeek”]

So take that leap but always be thinking in terms of, How do I get myself removed as the only person in this company.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Mark: Check out Process.st and listen to their Business Systems Explored podcast.

Scott: Check out TheSimplePostcard.com and send postcards right from you phone for only $2.00.

Paul: Find clarity on what you want to accomplish everyday. Come up with one to three things that you have to do to make that day a success and whiteboard out WHY you need it done, WHAT it is, WHEN it needs to happen, and WHAT is the impact. It’s not about doing but about accomplishing.

In today’s episode of The Art of Passive Income, Mark talks with Land Geek coaches Chris Clark and Michael Warren.

Michael teamed up with Chris who crossed paths in the real estate world. They formed a partnership, Stratus Land, and are crushing it!

Chris bought an Airstream travel trailer and committed to living in it full time while travelling the country to check out land and work remotely.

Utilizing online tools and technology is just as productive as sitting next to each other in an office.

To work remotely you will need to:

• Spend time to get all systems in place so you can automate as much as possible.
• Map out a deal flow diagram. Identify a process for each individual step.
• Get enough support. Focus more on system than process.

Chris and Michael are also working on a Due Diligence coaching course. It will be an incredible resource to help others approach research and due diligence—taking their business to the next level.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Mark: Check out Canva.com. And secondly, watch Impractical Jokers. This program has been around for four seasons now. It’s about four friends who make each other do pranks. I think it’s good training to help teach you to get out of your comfort zone of traditional social convention. By getting out of your comfort zone, you’ll be surprised by how far you can move the needle.

Scott: I recommend Word Swag. It’s one of those apps that allows you to put in a picture and put some text in there and customize everything. I even used it to get my point across to my daughter. However, there’s a similar free app called Adobe Post.
