Today’s Young Wealth Show sees Jason Hartman talking to the author of Life Purpose Boot Camp, Eric Maisel about how we need to change our perception of meaning and anxiety in the creative world. Maisel’s atheist beliefs lead to a spirited exchanging of views, making today’s podcast informative and passionate. 

Key Takeaways

02.50 – Eric Maisel’s movement is not about searching for meaning, but about creating meaning.

09.00 – It’s important to assess if your life as it is has meaning, but it’s more difficult to throw everything away because of that.

12.05 – Part of the anxiety problem is that 99% of performing artists get no feedback whatsoever. 

14.00 – The key to reaching this more creative level really lies in the morning creativity practice.

22.08 – Religion still has a very strong societal hold on people and it can be this sense of community which makes it hardest to leave.

26.10 – Maisel claims we have two choices with the future of religion: perpetuate lies or be honest and see which side produces higher morality.

28.13 – For more information, head to www.EricMaisel.com, and if you’re interested in learning more about natural psychology, you can download a free copy of Maisel’s book Natural Psychology at www.NaturalPsychology.net 

Justin Gilchrist guest appears on the Young Wealth show today. He is an expert in buying online businesses and is also the co-founder of Centurica - a company that helps customers with website assessment and due diligence. He shares some important insider tips to Jason and his listeners about what you need to look for when purchasing an online business for the very first time. 

Key Takeaways:

5:22 – For the most part, Justin wouldn't classify it as a business unless it's at least 1 year old. 

8:00 – Justin looks carefully into how an online business generates traffic and where those searches come from directly. Good traffic should be spread out through organic, paid ads, and social media searches. 

12:44 – Justin suggests different types of website businesses to his clients depending on the person and their technical background. 

16:30 – Businesses sometimes do sketchy things with their revenue reporting and it's Justin's job to make sure you don't fall into a bad business purchase because of it. 

20:00 – What Justin advises is to get all the necessary information together before you speak to his company. Does this website look too good to be true? Is it logical? Is the website consistent? 

23:00 – Justin sometimes has to look for very, very technical problems that his clients might not know about. You have to check everything and to have the experience to know when something doesn't look right. 

24:20 – Use leverage when it comes to buying a website. Most times you can change the terms of a deal to pay for a website slowly and overtime. This will prevent you from going out of pocket right away.

Zac Bissonnette is an author of several different books and is recently coming out with a new one called, “Good Advice From Bad People.” Today he sits down with Jason to give you a little insight about what you can learn from the book as well as talk about some of the problems with expensive colleges. Join Jason today and learn a couple of things about Lance Armstrong, Donald Trump, and more.

Key Takeaways:

3:00 – When we know nothing about a person/celebrity, make them our role model, and when they fall, we look back and wonder why they were considered a hero in the first place.

5:10 – Dick Fuld said, “When you know what you're talking about, others will follow you because they're safe to follow you.” A few years later Fuld lead the largest bankruptcy in US history.

6:12 – There's very little accountability in Wall Street.

On today’s Young Wealth Show, Jason Hartman talks with author, Grant Cardone, about philosophies to live by, getting where you want to be and the importance of who you know. One of Cardone’s latest books, The 10X Rule, poses some interesting points about the fundamental ways in which we go about our daily lives.

Key Takeaways

02.30 – You can totally change your life by living by the mantra: Commit first, figure the rest out later.

06.00 – Constructing a business plan for a totally new business can simply be a waste of time because there’s no way you could plan for everything that could come up.

07.50 – When it comes to setting targets, you need to push yourself. Setting ‘realistic goals’ often ends up in a loss of excitement for your work. The 10X Rule is about thinking beyond and re-inspiring people.

09.50 – Don’t be put off by ‘ridiculous’. One target can be just as ridiculous as another: why write a business plan for $1 million when you can write one for $10 million?

12.00 – Grant Cardone’s upcoming book deals with issues about the middle class, including whether it even exists.

15.30 – With both sides crushing the middle class, the only option is to get rich, and you can do it.

16.00 – Never underestimate the power of saying ‘yes’ to things, and where that can take you.

17.30 – Our culture of not taking risks – even of just not talking to strangers – is the riskiest situation we could put ourselves in. What we lose from not taking risks is extensive.

18.00 – If it’s true that your income is the average of the 5 people you spend most time with, you can only expand yourself if you meet new people.

19.45 – The people you know right now won’t change your life. Meet new people, they’ll change your life tomorrow.

21.00 – Make a list of who you need to meet who can change your life.

23.50 – If you’re already kidding yourself about having just a couple of areas of your life being great, stop and make everything great. Make everything 10X.

24.50 – To get what you want, every day you have to do things you don’t want to do. You’ll set yourself apart as being one of the few who does what is necessary to get the job done.

26.30 – Information can be found about Grant Cardone’s work at www.tiredofmissingsales.com, www.cardoneuniversity.com, on his YouTube channel, through typing his name into Google, or through following him on Twitter @GrantCardone.
