    • Selling what the market wants, not what you think they should want
    • Working towards specific outcomes, not just busy work
    • Hiring smart people as quickly as you can afford to
    • Being the first to take a pay cut, last to get a raise to prioritize the business


    Key Takeaways:

    • Entrepreneurship is not about sacrificing your dreams for financial security, but instead - learn from Aaron’s father's experience and avoid selling out your aspirations for "brass handcuffs" that will only hold you back in the long run.
    • Successful entrepreneurs don't force-feed their products or services to the market.
    • Aaron emphasizes the importance of defining specific outcomes you want to achieve and then structuring your work to move towards those goals, rather than just going through the motions.
    • Rather than trying to do everything yourself, identify your weaknesses and bring on skilled individuals who can complement your strengths and drive the company forward.
    • As a business owner, you should be the first to make financial sacrifices and the last to reap the rewards.


    "Don't sell yourself out for brass handcuffs that are that are just going to rust and scratch you up.” — Aaron Young

They live in Birmingham, Alabama and have four children and four grandchildren.In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with David Stearns discuss:Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) as a lifestyleImportance of understanding cash flow and economic problemsGenerational wealth transfer through family bankingBehavior and responsibility in IBC implementationChallenges in the insurance industry and misconceptionsKey Takeaways:The Infinite Banking Concept is more than just a financial strategy - it's a lifestyle that provides freedom and control over one's finances. Insuring family members, starting with the primary breadwinner and then expanding to include grandchildren, allows for the compounding and transfer of wealth across multiple generations. Successful implementation of the IBC hinges on personal responsibility and behavior. Misconceptions and industry practices, such as the rise of government-backed qualified plans and the demutualization of insurance companies, have contributed to the lack of public awareness about the IBC.Seeking guidance from authorized Nelson Nash Institute practitioners is essential for those interested in properly implementing the IBC, and their experts can provide the necessary education, training, and support to ensure individuals navigate the complexities of the IBC and achieve their financial goals."IBC, the infinite concept is a lifestyle, is a plan. It's a yellow brick road that you can follow, where you can be free of banks, and third-party lenders. You don't have to rely upon qualified plans to retire” — David StearnsConnect with David Stearns: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-stearns-000559/ Website: https://infinitebanking.org/?l=0 Connect with Jason and Scott:Website: https://henderxcapital.com/masteryourmillionsX (Twitter): @MasterYourMs https://twitter.com/MasterYourMs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/realestateinvestorsofutah Instagram: @henderxcapital https://www.instagram.com/henderxcapital/ @jasonihenderson https://www.instagram.com/jason.henderson/ Email: jasonchem@gmail.com, scott@henderxcapital.com

    Nov 27 2024
    This is part two of Michael Law Armijo’s interview.About Michael Law Armijo:Michael’s challenging upbringing in poverty with a single, hardworking mother built his resilience. Despite early financial struggles, his mother’s emphasis on self-presentation left a lasting impact. Though initially uninterested in reading, a friend’s suggestion to read Heart Over Height by Nate Robinson sparked his realization about the link between hard work and financial success.

This led to a decade of mastering successful habits, which transformed his life into one of global travel, entrepreneurship, and a podcast featuring millionaire and billionaire guests.Inspired by his journey, Michael launched The IDEAL App, the leading performance-based success tool that consolidates the habits of the world’s wealthiest, helping users take action toward their ideal lives.

    • Identifying the Right Franchisee Mindset
    • Adam's Franchise Journey and Experiences
    • Wealth Accumulation Strategies

    Key Takeaways:

    • Franchising can be an attractive option for entrepreneurs who prefer a more structured business model with established systems and processes.

    About Tina Greenbaum:Tina is the founder and CEO of Mastery Under Pressure, LLC, a management coaching program for high-performing executives who need to refine and master their interpersonal and inter-departmental skills, not only to excel individually, but to empower their teams and associates. Tina is also the author of the book, Mastery Under Pressure. Additionally, she works with athletes, artists, speakers, and other high achievers who want to be skillful at performing under pressure.In this episode, your hosts, Jason and Scott, together with Tina Greenbaum discuss:Resolving inner and outer conflictsClearing negative money beliefs and developing productive thinkingUsing whole life insurance policy as a financing toolBecoming the "bank" through lending and passive incomeImportance of self-awareness and addressing blind spotsKey Takeaways:Individuals can cultivate a more productive and empowering mindset that drives positive change by addressing deep-seated beliefs and patterns around money.Utilizing financing tools like whole life insurance policies can unlock new avenues for passive income and wealth building. Becoming a lender, rather than solely a borrower, can be a powerful strategy for creating passive income streams, and exploring opportunities to provide financing, whether through debt notes or other lending arrangements, can diversify one's portfolio and capitalize on the role of the "banker."Cultivating self-awareness and a willingness to ask for help can prevent costly mistakes and ensure that individuals are making informed choices aligned with their long-term goals.Education and continuous learning are key to unlocking financial potential. "I like to ask for help. When I'm ready to make a big decision, a big financial decision, I might call, my bookkeeper, my tax person. I might even call my brother and say, okay, what am I not seeing? What am I missing here? And so other minds help to fill in the blind spots that I have.” — Tina GreenbaumConnect with Tina Greenbaum: Website: https://masteryunderpressure.com/about/ X (Twitter): https://x.com/tinagreenbaum Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tina.greenbaum Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/masteryunderpressure/ Email: tina@masteryunderpressure.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinagreenbaum/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjI4D7r8aaQ1u5xyiNv5z8g Contact No: (631) 988-1109 Connect with Jason and Scott:Website: https://henderxcapital.com/masteryourmillionsX (Twitter): @MasterYourMs https://twitter.com/MasterYourMs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/realestateinvestorsofutah Instagram: @henderxcapital https://www.instagram.com/henderxcapital/ @jasonihenderson https://www.instagram.com/jason.henderson/ Email: jasonchem@gmail.com, scott@henderxcapital.com
