Men Of Abundance

Men, I'm always suggesting you create a Side Hustle for you and your family. There are so many reasons to do so. We've talked about that. So today, Nick Loper and myself are going to share with you a few great ideas for a Side Hustle that just might fit you and your passion. Call it a Side Hustle, Side Gig or simply an additional income stream, when you find a way to simply add an additional $500 a month to your household income, you can change your zip code. With just $500 more each month you could take that vacation you've been wanting to take. You can even pay off a few credit cards or at least make a dent in a few. Our Feature GuestNick is an author, entrepreneur, and a lifelong student in the game of business. He's currently the Chief Side Hustler at http://www.sidehustlenation.com/ (SideHustleNation.com), a growing community and resource for aspiring and part-time entrepreneurs. Nick is also the host of the http://www.sidehustlenation.com/side-hustle-show/ (Side Hustle Show podcast). The podcast is

When most think of online business, many think of Network Marketing, MLM or even Affiliate programs, right? Well today Shane and I are talking about turning what you already know into an income stream. We also talk about the False Security so many are lead to believe, being an indentured servant and just how important is money in living a life of abundance? I know you're going to love this conversation and and want to share it with everyone. Our Feature Guest - Shane SamsShane and Jocelyn Sams are a real couple making their entire living selling digital products online via membership websites. Their passive income business generates hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in profit while only requiring them to work 10-15 hours per week! In the spring of 2012, Shane had a horrible experience at work that made him realize he and Jocelyn had given total control of their time and life to others in exchange for a small but steady paycheck. An emergency involving their son, unsupportive management at wo

I Love the Outcome and Most of the Process. You don't have to pretend, it's OK. I know you don't love all it takes to live a life of abundance. Some of the process is a blast. Parts of the process is just moderately pleasurable. And there are parts of the process sucks. Ultimately, you do what you do for the outcome. Rather you're goal is to gain muscle, lose weight, get faster, play the saxophone, start and grow a business, raise your kids or have an amazing relationship with your wife, there are parts and moments of the process that are not as pleasurable as the desired outcome. So what do you do? You keep doing what you told yourself you were going to do. You do not give up on yourself, your family and your dreams. Focus on the outcome. Damn right it's not easy. If it were, there would be know need for the billion dollar coaching and mentoring industry. But here's a secret for you, coaches have coaches too. Yes, even the best of the best. Any time you want to take any part of your life to the nex

Did you realize there are an estimated 45.8 million people held in slavery today. And children represent an estimated 26% of all forced labor victims. India has the largest estimated number of people in slavery, between 10.7 and 12.7 million. As Men of Abundance, we have an obligation to at least bring awareness to this crime on humanity. Our feature guest today, John Rafferty has taken the mission on himself. Today we have that conversation. We also talk about his Premium College Admissions coaching business. John Rafferty studied Philosophy at Boston College, under a full scholarship awarded through the Navy ROTC program. John's interest in advocating on behalf of victims of human trafficking was sparked when Mr. Rafferty served as a Naval Officer in the Middle East. While there, he volunteered with non-profit organizations that sought justice for immigrant workers. His exposure to human trafficking influenced his decision to go to law school. Following his Naval service, Mr. Rafferty was awarded a ful

You want to achieve the highest level in you're chosen field, right? Or you want to improve your health by getting stronger, faster or losing weight. And you know people, or know of people of people, who are where you want to be in life. And, I know you want to reach that level as soon as posible. I want that for you. What I don't want you to do is get caught up in comparing yourself with others and where they are at on their journey. When you compare, you despair. Meaning, when you compare yourself to others who are on a similar journey you will burn out and quit long before you succeed. You have to realize, those ahead of you on your journey have been perfecting their skills much longer. They may have even had more resources and time to help them along the way. Chances are, you're just starting out on your journey. You can not expect massive success in such a short amount of time. Study those who are where you want to be. Notice what it took for them to achieve the lifestyle they enjoy. Notice the skil

Men, unless you've heard of this one before, you're really going to have to listen with an open mind. Dawson Church and I talk about Tapping, EFT, Meditation to cure PTSD, relieve pain and even live a life of abundance. This is a topic I know very little about. But I like what I've heard so far. Keep in mind, it was not too long ago that Doctor Ingaz Semmelweis was ridiculed for believing that simply washing hands between patients could save lives. Ok, 1846 is a long time ago. But the thought is still kind of crazy, right? https://menofabundance.com/085/ (https://menofabundance.com/085/) Dawson Church, PhD, is an award-winning author whose best-selling book, The Genie in Your Genes, has been hailed by reviewers as a breakthrough in our understanding of the link between emotions and genetics. He founded the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare to study and implement promising evidence-based psychological and medical techniques. His groundbreaking research has been published in prestigious scienti

It's easy for me to tell you to do what you say you're going to do. I get it, I don't know your situation. I do know of your situation from personal experience and hundreds of conversations with other men. You know the feeling you get when you complete a task you've been needing to do for day, weeks or even years in some cases. That feeling of dopamine is amazing. Wouldn't you rather feel that more often than the feeling of a pending task hanging over you? By doing what you say you're going to do everyone around you is happier because you're happier. When you fulfill obligations to your wife, kids, boss and even yourself, you feel accomplished and fulfilled. Action steps: Set a date and time to the task, and stick to it. Start with small parts first. I call these little wins. And they add up. Get some accountability outside your family. Your wife holds you accountable often. But it's nagging to you. So tell someone you know and trust to hold you accountable. Get your family involved. Some tasks can be learnin

On a scale of 1 - 10, 1 being divorce and 10 being a dream, how would you rate your relationship with your wife? More importantly, how do you feel your wife would rate your marriage? The answer will certainly surprise you so be prepared. Phil Potts and I talk about his kick in the gut moment when he found out where his wife rated their marriage. As usual, listen with an open mind so you can grow with us today. https://menofabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/habits-of-heroic-husbands.jpg ()Phil Potts is a Nationally Certified Marriage Coach, the director of Renegade Gentlemen Men’s Ministry, and the author of Habits of Heroic Husbands. A decade ago, he found himself at a Chickfil-A marriage retreat, ranking his marriage on a 1-10 scale. The surprise came when he compared his number with his wife’s. They were miles apart, and the news hit him like a bombshell. That was when Phil decided that he would begin fighting for his relationship with his wife, and that he would&nb

Aloha Men of Abundance. So which is it? Is life happening for you or to you? Share your comments below. Life does happen. And yes, at times, life does not happen the way we would prefer. Family members die, Jobs are lost, businesses fail, some have tragic events in their life. Any or all of these events may have happened to you. In fact, many of them happened to me. Several times. You've heard the saying "What matters is what happens after those events that will make you or break you."Well, it's true. It's not easy to recover from any of these tragic events. But what makes it much easier is a support system. Every single Abundant Leader I've ever talked to, like all of my Men of Abundance guests, have been many through tragic events. All of them are still dealing with the baggage that comes with the diversities of life. And all of them are doing so with the assistance of a support system of some type. I want you to know, our https://menofabundance.com/members/ (Men of Abundance Community) and Men of Abundance

Always be prepared to make a change in your business or your job. Just when you think you have control of your life, your job, your business, your income and your way of life, something is going to come along and knock you off your feet. I want you to be prepared for that mentally, physically and financially. David Bain and I talk a bit about his experience and we give you a few ideas about how to be prepared. https://menofabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/digital-marketing-readio-david-bain.png ()David Bain is the founder and host of Digital Marketing Radio, the weekly podcast and video show that prises actionable advice from today's top marketers.

https://menofabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Aloha-Friday-Donky-balls.jpg ()Did you see those Donkey Balls in the show art? LOL That's a chocolate store on the Big Island of Hawaii, Kona side. My family fell in love with that island. It may be because we've lived on Oahu for so long, it was nice to see the open space of Hawaii. By the way, the "Big Island" of Hawaii is actually called Hawaii. The other main islands are Kauai, Oahu (most populated), Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau and Kahoolawe. And the ninth island is Las Vegas. This first five minute aloha Friday is, in part, me reaching out to one of you listeners and to share with you my thoughts about the huge responsibility of a mentor/coach as well as the mentee or the person being coached. When someone reaches out to me for advice, assistance or coaching in any part of their life, I take that very seriously. If I feel I will not be of any assistance or even make matters worse, I will refer you to someone who I know can help. The goal is to get yo

When it comes to addition, most think of illicit drugs, alcohol, or even pain medications. It's rare our society would look at a fast food addition as a real addiction. I certainly never considered it. Until I heard David McClain's story. But David and I don't just talk about fast food addition, weight loss and healthy eating. We talk about having the courage to tell your story to help others. We even talk about the behind the scenes of the reality show, chopped. He's got a personal inside scoop on the show. Dave has spent most of his adult life battling a fast food addiction that nearly cost him his life. After a doctor told him he would be lucky to reach his 30th birthday, Dave decided something had to change, so on New Year's Day, 2013, Dave gave up fast food, and a few months later began the workout program that would change his life forever; Insanity. Since that time Dave lost over 150 pounds and has taken on a new life mission of helping others overcome the mental blocks that hold them back.To date, Dav

In order to be a man of abundance you will want to be a protector, provider, and presider over yourself, your family, your business and your community. This is the conversation today. Ryan Michler is the founder and creator of the Order of Man Podcast and the Iron Council. We have a very candid conversation about what it means to be a man, as well as a man of abundance. https://menofabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Order-of-Man-image-.jpg ()Ryan Michler is a husband, father, Iraqi Combat Veteran, and the Founder of Order of Man. Ryan grew up without a permanent father figure and has seen first-hand how a lack of strong, ambitious, self-sufficient men has impacted society today. Ryan believes many of the world’s most complicated problems could be solved if men everywhere learned how to be better husbands, fathers, businessmen, and community leaders. It has now become his life’s mission to help men across the planet step more fully into their roles as protectors, providers, and presiders over themselves

Why learn more about a subject you have already mastered? That does sound like a total waste of time and rather counter productive. Right? Well, that's Kenny Cannon's take on the subject of reading business and sales books. I can not argue with that logic at all. In fact, I've often said, I prefer you read one business book and master those skills in that one book rather than reading 100 books in a year. I would like to hear your thoughts.

[EXPLICIT LANGUAGE ALERT] There are literally thousands of ways to earn extra income, a full time income or even build an empire for yourself and your family.

Men of Abundance, this is by far the hardest conversation I've had to this point. I know many of you have children. Where would you be in your mind if this happened to your three year old child?

Living a life of true abundance requires you to look inward and realize what you already have in your life. Then be grateful for all you have been given before you start creating more for yourself and others. Our feature guest today, Bobby Albert, comes from very humble beginnings and working hard. Today, Bobby and I are going show you how to take our life to abundance, regardless of where you are right now.
