Nobody’s going to buy from you because you have a quota to meet. They’re not going to buy from you because you need money. And, they’re not going to buy from you because you’re a really nice person… They’re going to buy from you only because they believe they will be better off by doing so than not doing so and that’s the only reason why anyone should do business with you. Bob Burg

If you go back to CarrotCast Episode 66, it was called My Struggles and Eight Success Lessons Learned, I talk about a book that I read that really changed my life during the early years, it’s called The Go-Giver. And The Go-Giver was a parable. It’s a book that really got my mind wrapped around how to actually go out there and live life the opposite way that most people do.

And if you guys have not got the book The Go-Giver, go get it. Go to Amazon, and go get it. Or, you can wait for this call and actually listen to the author of The Go-Giver, Bob Burg. I had such an amazing chance to interview him, one of my favorite books of all time, it’s one of the simplest books ever but I’ve given away hundreds of copies of this book over the years to people because it’s such a simple concept but it’s so life-changing when you actually adopt it in your day-to-day.

We’ve adopted it fully here at Carrot as a business. We’ve always lead with giving, we’ve always lead with value. We’ve always really lead with, how do we make sure our clients and our market and your audience are the ones winning?

And when that happens, we’ll build trust, we’ll build so much value that will, in the end, win, also. So I’m really excited for you guys to listen to this episode of the CarrotCast with Go-Giver author Bob Burg.

He’s going to be talking about their latest book, which is the Go-Giver Influencer. It’s another parable, but talks about how in this cluttered market, how in this cluttered world, with all of these messages, with all of these opinions, with all of these people who disagree on this and disagree on that, how can you be an influencer in a good way?

He also gives away so many other amazing tips in this call.

Without further ado, welcome on, Bob Burg.

You know guys, that’s a two-edged sword. Everyone talks about debt with things go right, but I’ve been there with that when it doesn’t go right. It’s like right now people say oh you know what I just start off the loan and take a little piece. What for? 12% sounds pretty nice and I still get to go hang out with my daughter. I want more life. I don’t want more drama or more headaches. Ramon Gonzalez

I talk to a lot of real estate investors and agents as you can imagine and one thing that pops up from time to time is people ask the question of, “Am I an investor?” A lot of people call themselves real estate investors when, in fact, they’re not putting any money into an asset to invest in, they’re usually on the arbitrage side of things, being the middleman, which there’s nothing wrong with. Being the middle person where you’ve got one person on one side that needs something, you’ve got one person on the other side that needs something, you’re in the middle to connect the two to make a profit from it. That’s an amazing business model. But are you an investor?

One thing I want to toss out is the best real estate investors that I know, the best real estate entrepreneurs that I know, are the people who know market cycles really, really well. Can you read the market, engage what you should be doing at what point in the market to really maximize what you get out of your business, really maximize your income, your wealth, your revenue? Well, we’ve got a special guest on today, Ramon Gonzalez, one of our Carrot clients, and I’m insanely pumped to have him on this episode. We had a few audio issues at the start, the audio is a little bit muffled. You can hear amazingly well through it, so it clears up towards the end so don’t let that distract you.

Ramon is an amazing, successful investor. He’s going to walk through his journey, he’s going to walk through how he’s gone through and really modeled the market cycles. You’re going to see the clear path from the time that he started in real estate back in 2004 or five, on what he did during that phase. Then, what he did in seven and eight. He took two years off and then what he did the next cycle and then what he’s doing right now and what you guys should start to look at too.

There are way too many real estate entrepreneurs that are in this current market cycle that are doing the wrong thing. They’re either going to make you broke or you’re missing the massive opportunity that there is right now to build wealth. A lot of people are active and doing bunches of things but they’re doing the things that are not going to position them to build wealth. They’re about six, 10, 12, 14 months behind the real estate market cycles. Are you one of those people?

Also, you’re going to hear his inspiring journey. We’re going to start to talk about mission, purpose, all those kinds of things, unique ability, really, really fun conversation with Ramon.

If you’ve ever gotten any value out of the CarrotCast or out of this one specifically, take the two minutes, head over to the CarrotCast on iTunes and give us a quick rating. Let me know what you get out of this episode or what you’ve ever got out of any. I read every single one of them, it pumps me up. It’s why I continue to do this podcast, almost 100 episodes in.

The most successful people I was able to meet, showed up looking to give rather than looking to get. They weren’t asking people what they can do to help them. They would sit down with being way more successful than you and look at you in the eyes and ask what’s going on in your world and how can they help you. Geoff Woods

I don’t know about you, but I really believe things happen for a reason. I’ve had so many instances in my life where something happened after I set an insanely clear intention. For like, nothing happened and then weirdly enough it did. And I explained one of those situations when I introduced today’s guest, Geoff Woods, from The ONE Thing Company, and this book was one of those things that made a massive impact on my life.

I read The ONE Thing from Gary Keller and Jay Papasan, probably five, six years ago. Literally, since then, I have had my focusing question written down and taped to my computer.

So, I wanted to get Geoff Woods on to this call because I’ve been following their podcasts on The ONE Thing. I mean, following what they’ve been saying and I’m subscribed to it on iTunes. Where I am in my life right now, is I’m struggling day to day to really be focusing on what is the most important thing that I should be doing right now.

Because, as you’re an entrepreneur and just living life, too, you don’t have to be an entrepreneur, the biggest struggle we can all have is the one resource we have that we never get back is time.

What are you focusing on in the time that you have to make the biggest impact that you wanna make towards the things you feel are the most important?

Because a lot of us are doing lots of different things that aren’t very important. A lot of us are spending lots of time doing things that are urgent but not very important.

So, on this episode of this CarrotCast, I asked Geoff Woods from The ONE Thing Podcast and The ONE Thing Company to come on here.

We have some awesome breakthroughs on this call. Geoff goes into a section towards the end of this call where he starts asking me some questions that gets pretty personal.

Honestly, if you’re watching the video version of this, my eyes started tearing up a little bit, and it hit me pretty good because I know those are things that I need to work on better.

From this call, I’m going to be going home, doing something Geoff asked me to do on this call and taking the picture and sending it to him to show that I followed through on what we had talked about.

You’re going to be picking up lots of amazing nuggets on this podcast, some great resources, how to create power habits in your life, how to go out there and focus on the things that are important.

Also, you’re gonna be hearing some amazingly powerful stories with Geoff and myself on how you can just live and be a better person, a better entrepreneur.

How you can actually spend the time that you have right now today on the things that actually matter. Because odds are, you’re not.

So, without further ado, I’m gonna welcome on Geoff Woods from The ONE Thing Podcast, and when I talk about serendipity when I talk about things happening for a reason, we explain a short story in there, but I set the intention after listening to his podcast back in October.

I said, “Man if I could ever meet that guy and have him ask me these questions that would be amazing.” Three weeks later we had no clue, but three weeks later I walk into an office in Boise, Idaho. The very first person I see and the very first nametag I see is Geoff Woods. Now, he lives in Austin, Texas. I had no clue he was going to be there and with this happenstance, we have built a relationship.

They’re doing amazing things so also check out their podcast, The ONE Thing Podcast.

I can tell you, simplifying your life is going to put more money in your pocket, you’re going to be happier, you’re going to be more present, and your business is going to be stronger. Trevor Mauch

There is one core thing in my life that has lead to more happiness and more business success.

Something you probably already have heard. I heard it but didn’t pay attention to it. Why?

• It’s really really easy in life to stay focused.
• It’s even harder to know what to focus on.

A little bit of success can lead to more. Bigger distractions.

When your brain has to think about a large number of little things, it doesn’t allow you to open up to bigger things.

Sometimes it takes getting a reality and mortality check, to shake things up. Then, your work changes. Your life and family attitude changes. It starts to fire you up. You start to focus.

You start to declutter your thoughts, remove a large amount of time-wasting items and begin to focus on the big things.

Find out more about the “One” thing that I do every year to declutter myself and stay my path.

Happiness is simplicity. Use simplicity to your advantage.

Enjoy!
