Ahh. Money. Everyone wants some but most lack the mindset to earn more. In fact, there are retirement-age people still living from paycheck to paycheck. There are countless millennials running on empty after overspending on stuff they think will make them look good. And there are people who claim they don’t care about money -- nearly all of them as good as broke.
So let me show you the right perspective when it comes to money. The years I’ve spent as an entrepreneur and the experiences of highly successful people in my network all point to the same conclusion: Your self-worth has nothing to do with your finances. But money allows you to build dreams, learn new skills, lift people up, make smart investments, and spend on experiences that matter.
Money is important because it enables you to make a positive impact and build a meaningful legacy. That means you shouldn’t waste time on a career or business that doesn’t generate the income you want. Instead, consider two or three things that do make money for you and double down on those things. Over-deliver to the people who pay you so that your value increases over time.
We all have 24 hours in a day but highly successful people seem to spend theirs more wisely than the rest of humanity. Do you want to learn their secrets?
Join Markado and me as we discuss the tricky issues surrounding money and how you can create a positive strategy for monetizing the skills you are good at.
In this episode, you will learn . . .
Quotes:
“Don’t let money define you”
“Your self worth has nothing to do with your finances”
“Being wealthy is a state of mind, and so is being broke”

When you blend music and message together, motivation happens. That’s what I’ve learned producing inspirational mixtapes for ambitious millennials. Even better than that, motivation spurs people to take action that positively changes their lives and those of others.
Music does a lot of things. It can make people feel good or serve as a shelter from life’s sharp edges. But music, reinforced by the right stories, can make you turn inward and discover yourself as a person and as a dreamer. This is important because mastering yourself is key to becoming a world-class human being; which in turn, is a prerequisite to becoming a world-class entrepreneur. After all, you earn genuine respect only if you execute well on all fronts: health, wealth, integrity, financial freedom and leadership.
That’s a full plate but music and the right narratives can spark sustained action. And that’s the rationale behind the release of the Know Yourself Mixtape which we offer free to YEL subscribers. You can listen and groove to the mixtape while working out at the gym or taking the commute to work. Because the mixtape also includes entrepreneurial insights, you get to be educated as well as entertained.
Join Markado and me as we give a sneak peek into some of the tracks that comprise the Know Yourself Mixtape and discover how it can stoke your inner fire. Crafted by some of the best sound engineers, there’s nothing like this as of yet in the market for millennials. So tune in and grab a beat.

Born in Brazil and raised in a small American town, David Correy has a voice that captivates people, and a musical talent that syncs you into an inner rhythm. He did show promise even as a young child with ADD, but his beguiling performances took years of training, study, and self discovery.
David reached his status as an acclaimed recording artist by following his Mom’s advice: "If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough." So he dreamt big and head out on the narrow and arduous path to greatness. It wasn’t easy. And there’s a lot of pain. But the journey was more valuable than any destination. Learn more about what it took David to become a finalist on the second season of Fox's reality competition series The X Factor and now CEO of Urban Rock Records.
Join me as I talk with David about adversities, trials and triumphs.

Question:
Everyone wants to increase their income, extend their influence, upgrade their lifestyle, and build a meaningful legacy. The best way to accomplish all that is to become an excellent leader. Be a leader in whatever industry, profession, or business you engage in and you’ll improve just about every aspect of your life, including your personal happiness and your ability to uplift others.
But what does it really mean to be a leader?
And what does it take to be an excellent one?
Leadership means more than getting things done. That is why not all managers are leaders. Leadership is not about titles, positions, or hierarchies. Nor is it about seniority or the ability to tell people what to do all the time. These misconceptions cause many old-school CEOs to fail at connecting with ambitious millennials, especially at a time when business landscapes are radically shifting.
Like everything else, there are a lot of myths and falsehoods surrounding leadership and it is critical to reject the shackling mindset behind these myths. More importantly, it is critical to your success to discover and embrace the core principles of leadership.
In this podcast, I’ll walk you through common misconceptions about leadership and give you some tactical approaches you can take to become a good leader. No, there’s no magic spell that instantly turns you into a world class leader. It takes a daily commitment to take the path to leadership. It is a journey that will impact how you spend your time, set goals, plan your day, judge value, and train your skills.
Be warned, this is not a journey for the weak. But if you persist, the results will be life-changing.

Questions:
What small changes should I make to start building my leadership character?
We focus an entire episode on how to be an exceptional leader as I discuss my personal leadership transformation and the specific lessons and insights that thought me how to leverage my team's strengths and develop people and leaders. I list down the reasons that leaders fail and what you should do to take full responsibility in your life and in your business. And lastly, I break down the breakthroughs that allowed me to understand the qualities of exceptional leadership.

EPISODE SHOW NOTES
The vast majority (95%) of people base their actions on moods and feelings. If they don’t feel like working out, they don’t. If they’re not in the mood to write something for their dream book, they won’t. If they don’t feel like waking up early in the morning, they hit the snooze button.
No wonder only a few people become ultra successful, with the rest of humanity barely achieving anything. So if you want to be successful at what you do -- whether you plan on being a world class entrepreneur or practicing your craft like a master -- look at what most people do, then do the exact opposite: Never base your actions on moods or feelings. Instead, base your decisions on results, standards and principles.
That’s what separates ultra successful people from the herd. Successful people are addicted to a sense of accomplishment, and have overcome the natural tendency to avoid tough challenges and take the easy way out.
Join me as I share my experiences and thoughts after engaging extremely successful personalities and finding out exactly what makes them tick.
This podcast will help you gain clarity about your own purpose and what it takes to make those tough calls that will help you breach boundaries and cover new ground.
But you need to make the decision now. Remember, if you hit the snooze button, you’ll end up working for someone who didn’t. If you do what the elite 5% do, then you will definitely improve your sales performance, reach optimum fitness, publish a book, or upscale your business.
The world needs excellent leaders and you need to step up to make a difference. Listen and make a decision now that your future self will thank you for.

Is there ever the right time to go all in on dreams, your goals and your ideal lifestyle? Never ever validate or wait for a perfect time. Remember, if it's easy - you don't want it because it's always easier to complain than to get results, it's easier to judge than to show appreciation so always make the tougher decision.
How much did you get paid to give up on your dreams? I wanted to remind you that there's never been a better time than right now to maximize the opportunity to be the best at what you do and live a world-class lifestyle so I'm sharing one of the most-talked about tracks in the ‘Ambition Is Priceless” mixtape Part 2.

Quotes:
What if instead of judging people, they appreciate them.

Ask yourself:
What does the tiny inner voice in your soul say about your career, business, or personal life? Are you at the exact spot where the voice says you ought to be?
Many entrepreneurs focus on how their business plays out in the market, but there’s another game that influences the final score: the one that rages in the mind. Win your inner game and you’re many steps closer to clinching success.
That is how New York Times bestselling author and NeuroGym CEO John Assaraf depicts the mindset of the world’s most successful personalities, how he helps new generations of entrepreneurs develop a winning psychology, and how he recounts his own transition from a teenage gang member into a philanthropist and serial entrepreneur who have built multimillion dollar businesses and generated billions in revenues.
To go beyond his limiting environment and join the big leagues, John -- inspired by a mentor -- played the mind game. He unlearned everything he knew as a teenage crook and spent an hour everyday in the inner game, using his fears to fuel a hunger for success, purpose and meaning.
The idea that positive psychology strongly influences success and happiness is nothing new. But in recent years, more and more studies confirm the link between the brain and our potential to achieve more than we have even thought possible. Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize itself into new neural connections, enables us to consciously reprogram our instinctive behavior and develop positive, life-affirming habits.
Join me as I interview John about his early years as an aimless teenager, the pivotal milestone that led him to become one of the world’s leading behavioral experts, and the new scientific techniques you can adopt to elevate your mindset.
Ask yourself:
How would you “re-calibrate the thermostat” in your business, professional, or personal life to surpass your achievements in the past year and set a new (and better) normal?
