110. From Sales to Starting His Own Business: It’s Time to Live on Reality's Terms
Joe Rockey is a successful entrepreneur who has built a number of businesses from scratch, including a real estate business that has flourished for over 11 years. In this episode of The Prosperity Perspective podcast, Joe will be sharing some of the biggest challenges he faced when starting his company and how he overcame them.Hear how Joe learned to navigate his two most prominent hurdles: financial juggling and time management. Joe shares with host Liam Leonard his framework for investing in house flipping when his outcome was real estate rentals and his insight into why it doesn’t matter what you’re selling as long as you know how to properly sell. Understand the importance of knowing yourself and who you bring into your life, learn to generate passive income with minimal funds, and gain the right skill sets along the way, starting with today.3 Key TakeawaysIf you know how to sell properly, it won’t matter what you’re selling. Joe breaks down how he connects with people successfully every time. Get rid of the fear of failure mindset. If you try to sell something new and completely fail at it, you can move to something else. It’s more important to know that you gave it a shot. Your surroundings have a direct effect on the way you respond to crises. Be intentional with the people and atmosphere you surround yourself with. ResourcesFor real estate questions: 412homes@gmail.comFather and Joe PodcastLocal Football Flavor on YouTubeAbout Joe Rockey Joe went to Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and double majored in accounting and finance. The majors were chosen because they give intrinsic skills that are needed by all businesses–everyone needs to know where their money is and how to get more of it. Finance covered the part of how a company gets more money. However, the best way is through sales. Knowing that sales are the key to every business, Joe worked a variety of commission-only sales positions throughout his time at Duquesne.Following graduation, Joe worked for three years as a personal financial advisor. In the first year, he was the office’s “rookie of the year.” In the second year, he was the “underclassman of the year,” and by year three, Joe left to create his first real estate business in 2011.Since then, his businesses have created revenue from properties in a vast array of methods. Some of the more common ways his company creates revenue are by performing land lording services, selling investment grade properties to other investors, and renovating for sale properties.Outside of his professional world, Joe is a married man with a newly-born son. In 2017, along with Father Boniface Hicks, they created the podcast Father and Joe. The goal of their podcast is to bring individuals closer to God. Joe is also an avid axe thrower–in 2019, he finished 192nd in the International Axe Throwing Federation Championship in Toronto.

97. How to Compound Your Returns for Life-Changing Wealth

97. How to Compound Your Returns for Life-Changing Wealth
In 2008, Simon Ree lost a "life changing sum of money" in the global financial crisis. While devastating to his financial security, this experience was later utilized to develop a better way of navigating financial markets. Today on The Prosperity Perspective, Simon joins host Liam Leonard to share some of his findings–particularly, the myths that Wall Street tells us. The first myth: a 10% return per annum is a fantastic return. Simon argues that this is not the case, and that depending on where you are in your wealth journey, 10% per year is not likely to be life-changing. Another key tenet of Simon's teachings is the importance of compounding. By compounding on a monthly basis, you can create life-changing returns well within a ten year period. Understand that if you are thinking about engaging in trading, it is best to start small. As a trader, it’s important to reduce the emotional impact that losses can have on your mindset and trading decisions. Simon shows how to begin with a sum of money that if lost, wouldn't affect your ability to pay the rent or put food on the table. Hear his breakdown on these topics and more as Simon shares his passion for helping others with his knowledge, and discover how his unique system for trading options that he teaches through his online course, The Tao of Trading, can help you. 3 Key TakeawaysAlways start trading with a sum small enough where if lost, it wouldn’t take away the ability to pay for the roof over your head. This will remove unwanted emotional attachment to trading.  You should expect to lose on some trades as a business expense. If you win more than you lose and your winners are bigger than your losers, you will come out ahead in the end.It is just as important to assess your trading performance at the right time than it is to make the assessment. Working with probability will take time; assessing your performance after one trade is pointless.ResourcesTrading in the Zone by Mark Douglas et alVisit taooftrading.com/prosperity to access the first chapter of his book and training courses at a heavy discount!About Simon ReeSimon has three decades of experience as an active trader, investor, and financial markets professional.

After his exit, Bill’s wife told him to get a job to keep the “fire under his ass” and it was the best prompting she could have given.
