Justin here. Tara and I both know Lain from the advanced mastermind we’re part of with Russell Brunson. Lain is an awesome guy, and in today’s episode, he and Tara have some powerful stuff to talk about…

Tara here.   :)  It’s been a great week!  A lot has happened… and today, we have a HUGE and very exciting announcement…  Introducing… the official launch of MILLIONAIRE UNIVERSITY!

Tara here.   :)  I’ve shared plenty of my innermost secrets on this podcast… and today, it’s Justin’s turn to put himself out there!  What Justin is going through is something many entrepreneurs and business owners go through…

In this episode, we talk about my favorite business topic, which is automating and scaling your business.

If done correctly, automating and scaling your business can lead to both more money and more time. 

And who doesn't want that..?

And if you grow your business, make more money, and have more time, you're going to be able to help more people.  

I call this the triple threat of awesomeness.  

Okay, I just made that up right now, but let's go with it.

Now...incorrectly automating and scaling, your business can lead to disaster.

You know the saying the bigger they are, the harder they fall. 

Well, those guys ditched class on the day of this training.

But not you!

I have 10 automation and scaling gold bombs that I want to share with you.  

You Ready..?  

Let's dive in!

You have to be passionate about what you want to do.  But not just a little passionate… you have to be passionate ENOUGH to take it beyond what you ever imagined… and what you THINK you’re passionate about may not be what you’re actually passionate about.

Hey there! This is Tara. Justin is not a big fan of reading books. I, on the other hand, am a total book lover. But even Justin listens to good books on a regular basis… and today, we share with you a few of our favorites…

Today’s episode marks what is perhaps the biggest turning point in Jenny’s journey so far… despite “slipping” back into some old habits, she’s made some awesome things happen in the past couple weeks!

Baggage. 

We all have it. 

When I showed up to the very first business we started, I had it. 

Obviously, I had no idea I had it, but it was there. 

Justin always had so many ideas and was so excited.

When he came to me with those ideas, I was scared first, then excited, then stressed and excited.  It was fun at times and so heavy at times.  

He rocked my world. 

Why was he so different than me?

It wasn't until I realized how differently we were thinking about our business...

And how much that was affecting our business and personal life, to say the least!

After Jenny got back in touch with us following her “disappearance,” we knew something had to change… and we wanted to find out exactly why she had gone dark and what had happened.

Hey everyone!  It’s been awhile… but we’re jumping on to give you an update on what’s been going on and what’s in store for the future!

Sometimes crazy things happen. And the best thing you can do is to be there for your family when things go off the rails. Like when I almost got arrested the other day...

In this episode, guest Millionaire Mentors Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income talks with Steve Chou of My Wife Quit Quit Her Job about his new book The Family First Entrepreneur and how to balance life and business. They also discuss other business growth strategies while maintaining a family-first focus.

Erin joined us on Episode 87 for a breakthrough session, and I gave her a challenge to define her focus and the direction she wants to go. Today, we’re checking in to see where she’s at and figure out her next steps!

Happy New Year!

In Today's Episode Justin and Tara talk about their biggest Lessons and Takeaways of 2023 and things they will be implementing to help make 2024 better than ever.

They discuss the communication framework that has worked wonders for communication in their marriage and family and can be used to strengthen any relationship.

Serial entrepreneur Derrick Williams shares his business journey of starting multiple businesses and shows just how simple starting a business can be

In today's lesson we talk about the "Most Businesses Fail" Myth and how if you understand this is a myth and why it can help you with your business and financial creation goals! 

Let's help get you unstuck so you can keep moving forward! 

Want to make a million dollars? There’s one HUGE obstacle standing in your way… and if you want to succeed, you absolutely MUST defeat it.

Your email list is perhaps the most important thing you can create and build if you want to grow your business… in fact, almost nothing else matters if you aren’t building a solid email list!  Here’s how to do it…

Tara here! Last week, I found myself facing another breaking point… a moment where I just felt completely overcome by fear and didn’t know how to move forward. Turns out I’ve been battling something called impostor syndrome…

Instead of a millionaire, today we’re interviewing an up-and-coming millionaire… Justin’s brother Derrick Williams! Derrick has gone from stuck and unemployed to being financially free and able to live the life he wants to live… in a VERY short time…

The last few days have been kind of crazy. We all kind of have our own “bubble,” in a way… and I found myself outside my bubble, ha ha.  I learned a few things… 6 things, to be exact…

Last week, Jenny chose to quit school… and she committed to her parents that she would no longer need their financial support by the end of one month. That’s a HUGE step for Jenny... but how is she going to pull it off?

In this episode, Jill Stanton outlines the EXACT marketing strategy she and Josh “live by” to build their online business… and you do NOT want to miss it!

I just bought a horse! You heard that right! NOT house...HORSE! :)

I was recently talking with my sister in law Janelle, and I was asking her about her horse business. We got talking and I could smell opportunity for her and me! Now here we are a few weeks later and I'm the proud owner (co-owner) of a beautiful baby barrel race horse names Fergi!

More importantly in this episode I take you inside of my brain and what I was looking for during this call. How I was quickly able to spot the opportunties that were available. I also help you better understand ROI (Return on Investment) and how understanding this has made me a lot of money and helped me to better spot opportunties and structure deals and I teach you how you can do the same!

This isn't something I talk about a lot in too much detail but want to talk about more in future episodes. Please reach out to me and let me know if you grasped the concept and let me know of anything I can clear up in the future! As always you can reach me at justin@millionaireuniversity.com

Enjoy the episode! and please share it with a friend!

When we first started creating episodes for this podcast, it felt like a lot of work… and we started to get stressed out. But by “batching” tasks, we’re now more efficient and we have a lot more fun!

Today we tackle the million dollar question… is starting a business easy or hard? What do you think?  Your answer to this question is VERY important…

For those of you who have been following the podcast, know that we're getting ready to sell our house.

It's been pretty busy around here, so we're trying to get as many people as we can over here to help.  Tara's brother, Tyson, my brother-in-law, who I interviewed on the last podcast has been staying with us in our guest house, and he's been really helping us get things ready. And just a few days ago we said to him, Hey Tyson, we need more help. And he's like, okay, I know some people. So he's been bringing over his good friend Will who is also a recovering alcoholic/drug addict, and he's been helping us out for the last few days.

So that's been awesome. Now I've only talked to Will for a brief second one time and yesterday he came up to me right before he was leaving and just said, "Hey, I just wanna thank you for the podcast. It's really been helping me out." 

And so then I was talking to Tyson a little bit more about his situation after Will left, which is kind of similar to Tyson's, I said, "Hey, tell him if he listens to all the podcasts, that I'll mentor him if he wants."

So last night, as I was laying there in bed and knowing that I needed to record a podcast today, I had all these ideas of different things that I could talk about on the podcast today, but none of them were really pulling out my heart. And I was thinking  "What is on my mind right now?  Will is on my mind. The people who represent Will are on my mind"

Those of you who are struggling in life, but you know, there's something more. And you're just not totally sure how to get there. You just need someone telling you that you can get there and maybe helping, giving you a little bit of groundwork or things to think about. 

So that's what we're gonna do today. I am basically going to begin to mentor Will and let him know what he should do to get the success in his life that he's looking for. 

Today we'll go over the 10-step blueprint to help you gain clarity and help you reach your goals!

When it comes to making money online, Russell Brunson has done it all… and today he shares with us how to use funnels to make money online. He even walks us through one of his best-performing funnels to show us how it works!

In today’s episode, we’re headed to the gym… to relax!   :)  Yep, that’s right… when we need a break, it’s gym time! Today, we talk a bit about “mental vacations” and why they’re important to entrepreneurs…

Drew Canole is the founder of FitLife.tv … and he’s here today to share his story and how he launched a business doing what he loves and built an audience of over 2.5 million followers in less than 3 years!

A couple months ago, we decided to bring on a full-time videographer to help us shoot and edit more video content.  And this guy was talented.  Super talented.  But… let’s just say he and I didn’t “click.”

Five years ago, I decided to quit.  I decided I was done teaching people how to flip houses.  Then I met someone… a guy named Russell Brunson.  And that meeting changed everything…

Justin here.  Tara and I just wrapped up our very first 8 Minute Millionaire Mastermind meeting… and it was amazing!  Everyone was completely transformed by this event… and in today’s episode, we recap some of the big takeaways!

Entrepreneurs are brave.

They live in a future that doesn't yet exist...physically. 

Your current life, your environment, your bank statement...don't yet show what you're capable of.  

And you still move forward, knowing that in the near future, your physical world will catch up to what's in your mind.   

We call this the entrepreneurial gap.  

And it pulls at you from both sides.  

So the question is, where is your mind and how are you managing it?  

How are you handling the entrepreneurial gap?

It turns out haters are every important… and if you DON’T have any yet, you’re doing something wrong. So, how should you handle haters… and how do they “help” you?

2 years ago Brady was working a W-2 and not liking his job.

He wanted more for him and his family but wasn't sure what to do.

We got on a call.

I was quickly able to identify the one thing he needed to focus on, which he did and today he's making a high 6 figure income (on his way to 7) and living his dream life with his family in Costa Rica.

He was excited for a round 2 coaching call where he could ask some more questions about where to go next.

There were a lot of valuable nuggets in this call so we decided to take some parts of that it and turn it into a podcast so you can be a fly on the wall for this coaching session.

Enjoy!

And share this with a friend who needs some help identifying blindspots in their business.

In this episode we disclose our Top Secret Calendaring system.

Once you have clarity and a vision of what you want to do, you'll have to be organized and have a system for getting crap done!

In today's lesson we talk about the calendaring system that we've developed and have been using for the past 15 years!

In our years of working with people, we've come to find that most aren't super organized and don't have a great way to plan and get essential "to do" items done.

Execution is where the rubber meets the road and if you're not organized and have clear priorities and know where to focus each day you won't reach accomplish your goals.

The system/process we outline in today's episode is super simple, free and something everyone can do.

If you're ready to take you're executing skills to the next level this is an episode you don't want to miss.

A couple weeks ago, we had our very first 8 Minute Millionaire Mastermind meeting, and at the event, Jenny shared where’s she at in her business.   The advice she got from the group has had a huge impact on her business…

Let’s talk about working from home… is it super awesome?  Or is it kind of difficult, with all the distractions that can come up?  Is it better or worse for your family?  What about your social life?

After Jenny’s call last week, Justin made her an offer… a crazy, incredible, insane offer… and now Jenny has to decide what to do.  Will she take Justin’s offer to change her life, or will she stay in her comfort zone?

Tara here! A few years ago, I got very sick. I almost didn’t make it through. For a long time, I found myself wondering if the rest of my life was just going to be like this. But something happened within me that helped me overcome…

In this episode you get to spy in on a LIVE coaching session I did with Lenny Tim. Lenny has been a full time entrepreneur for several years and makes 6 figures a year in his businesses, but wants to get to the 7 figure mark. In this episode I coach him (and you through him) on the steps he needs to take to get through his plateau and reach 7 figures and beyond!

Today, we share what we’re up to with our online business right now… how we’re making money online, the struggles we’ve had, how we started building our online audience, and so on. It hasn’t been easy, that’s for sure…
