Over the past couple of years, most of my trading has been focused on swing trading Bitcoin... And I've done really well sticking to what I do best - waiting for the big moves, and playing the opposite side of the mass majority of people. However, I recently did something kind of weird... I traded an altcoin. Why? Well, I've kept my eye on Altcoins recently after Mike Hearn left Bitcoin in cry-baby fashion. Unfortunately, some people got scared off by Mike's Bitcoin obituary, but I could see exactly what happened.

I get dozens of emails every day asking for advice - How do I build a business? How do I make money and travel? How can I learn to trade? How do I invest in real estate? These are all great questions, but sometimes I can tell the person's focus is on the wrong place - getting the money. Some people think that if they can get more money, they'll be happier... Maybe you've caught yourself saying something like, "I'd be happy if I could just win that damn lottery." That was the thought process of millions of Americans that flocked to buy lottery tickets and drive the jackpot to a record high of $1.5 billion. People were spending insane amounts of money hoping and praying they'd beat the 1 in 292 million odds. But the truth is very few people could handle a windfall of millions of dollars... After all, 70% of lottery winners go broke within 7 years.

I first met Dave in 2010 when he came to speak at one of my bootcamps.

He also has an impressive story how he went from doing free talks to charging over $10,000 per speech.

After I left Corporate America in my early 20's to pursue entrepreneurship, I accumulated about $95,000 of debt. My credit card debt was depressing. At one point it got so bad that I would hide my credit card bills in my bottom desk drawer so I didn't have to think about it... But there was always that subconscious nagging feeling that something wasn't right. I was ignoring the reality of my finances. Instead of facing reality and changing my situation, all I wanted to do was hide from it. Then one day I made a decision... I decided that I was going to take charge of my financial future, which meant getting out of debt, creating multiple income streams, and building wealth. Within the span of about 18 months, I built a seven-figure business, started to destroy my debt, and got out from under the depression of hiding from reality. In this episode, I'm going to show you how you CAN take charge of your financial future. But only if you are willing to do what it takes.

When it comes to real estate investing, there are many different ways to earn income and build wealth, but I would like to cover what I believe are the three best real estate investing strategies; wholesaling, fix and flip, and owner financing. I've done many deals over the years, and these 3 strategies are the most common. Unfortunately, late night infomercial gurus make people believe that they have some proprietary magic formula to do profitable deals, but here's the reality about real estate: There are only a handful of ways to structure a deal. Anyone can learn how in a few hours. The real profit in real estate is made by hustling and creating solutions for motivated sellers. That's it. No magic sauce. Just good old hard work and problem-solving.
