014: Always Be Hustling with Michael Kawula

By Austin Netzley

Check out the new podcast player HERE!

Wealth is a lot of things…

But put quite simply, it is “an abundance of what you really want.”

At least that is what Michael Kawula of SelfEmployedKing.com says. And I could not agree more.

Michael is an avid entrepreneur that has the experience in the industry to know what he is talking about. He talks about the mindset, and even says that wealth and success is “all about the mindset. If you want to have wealth, you need to expand your mindset and think differently and think healthy.”

It all starts with the way that you think about wealth and success. That is your foundation. If you do not have the right mindset, success and wealth will either never come, or it won’t last when it does. But with the right mindset, you can only succeed. Each of us will fail many times, but with the right mindset, that failure will be temporary and you will recover even stronger each time.

This is another amazing podcast packed with a ton of wisdom. Listen to what Michael shares and take action on it today.

In This Podcast, You’ll Learn:

How to avoid the “addiction of the paycheck.”
Why he would have started a business even sooner, and why you should take risks NOW.
Why dollars in your bank account are the answer in and of itself.
The importance of family in the wealth equation.
The power of the subconscious mind.
How to handle fear and start a business.
What franchising is, and how you can use it as a business for you.
And much more!

The Future Millionaire Next Door #2

By Austin Netzley

Kate Erickson is the star behind the star of EntrepreneurOnFire – the top-rated podcast interviewing inspiring entrepreneurs 7 days per week.

After growing up in San Diego and going to college in San Francisco, Kate decided to move to the exact opposite side of the country – to Portland, Maine. However, after a few years, she found herself back in southern California enjoying her family and the perfect weather.

Finding Her Passion in Work:

Kate dove into banking in the early part of her career. She was able to help her bank with their marketing efforts, and found something that she loved. Then while earning her graduate degree, she landed her first gig at a Marketing & Advertising agency.

As a Sr. Account Coordinator, she started to learn everything she could from the owner of the agency including everything that goes into success marketing, advertising and branding campaigns. And this yearning for wisdom has helped set her apart throughout her career. If you have a good resource or mentor possibility, take advantage of it!

The Leap:

Kate continued in the Marketing & Advertising field, until finally deciding to jump ship and join the team at EntrepreneurOnFire. There, she and John Lee Dumas have created a beast of a business that has revolutionized the podcasting world by offering a 7-day a week business podcast.

At EOFire, Kate is the Content & Community Manager. I have worked with Kate as part of Fire Nation Elite, and can tell you that she is the real deal. She posts regularly HERE, and is someone that I always look for to get great and honest advice. She’s built up some excellent Marketing skills and knowledge over the years, and is now applying that to the online world.

If Kate had to do it all over, she would NEVER tell herself that she “had” to take a job. She would have been much more creative during her career transitions.

Instead of spending all my time and energy searching for a company who would hopefully hire me, I would have started searching for how I could create my own opportunities.

The Best Financial Advice

By Austin Netzley

What is the best financial advice that you’ve ever received?

I had the great opportunity to ask a number of experts this exact question. The answers they provided were all quite different, yet are all so important.

Make your money work for you, not against you. Debt works against you, investing works for you. – John Lee Dumas

Compound Interest:

The wealthy understand the power of compound interest. Albert Einstein called compound interest “The most powerful force in the universe,” and “The greatest mathematical discovery of all time.” Debt uses compound interest against you (for example, if you buy a house for $150,000 and pay 7% interest and minimum payments for 30 years, you actually pay $360,000 for the house!). Alternatively, investing the right way works for you. $10,000 invested every year at a continual 10% growth rate will be $1,000,000 in fewer than 25 years! If you start at 22 years old, this is $1 Million from a mere $10,000 investment each year by the age of 47. Of course, the plan is to increase the amount you save/invest and achieve this milestone much, much earlier. Learn the power of compound interest, and utilize it.

Simplification is one of the great things. Get to a point in life where you don’t need to make too much, because most people are trapped. The other great thing is having multiple streams of passive income. Passive income is taking your income and putting that money to work for you. So while you sleep, that money is working harder than you work. – David Wood

Passive & Residual Income:

Multiple streams of income are a huge part of becoming wealthy, and will be a big focus for YoPro Wealth. With working income, you only get paid once for the work that you do. With residual and passive income, you get paid over and over again for your efforts – even while you sleep! These other income types are very similar. Passive income is derived from investments in which the individual is not actively involved (doesn’t require effort from you). Residual income is recurring payments after an initial effort. Examples of each include:

Passive income: online advertisements, affiliates, rental property, royalties from invention, dividends and interest from stocks/bonds, etc.
Residual income: books, songs, network marketing, online training courses, etc.

It is easy for young professionals to create financial freedom – all that you have to do is create passive income that exceeds your expenses. If you keep expenses low, then this is relatively easy to achieve. [Read more…]
