It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and really wrote an article about life, success, purpose, and how to gain those in your life (how I’ve done it in my own life). Now, this is a conversation technically away from real estate investing…
… but at the same time totally intertwined.
When I first got started in the business world just out of college business and the rental units I owed was just about money. I really had no purpose other than making a living why I was building my businesses. I hadn’t been taught to look for “purpose” or how you can use your business to “influence” others in a positive way on a massive scale. Not a bad thing… its just business was business and my purpose was to make the next deal so I could pay the bills.
But, when I look back now… the biggest difference in the way I run my companies is that my focus has taken a complete 180.
Here’s What I Mean – Purpose and Influence Is The Key
Now I’ve gotten to realize over the last few years… and really heavily over the last year that life purpose and business are completely intertwined. And, when you start to make any sizable amount of money… you quickly realize money itself has little to do with that purpose of why I run my businesses or why I’m living on this earth (okay, I’m going to start to get deep here).
You may have found out the same thing in your life.
But, one thing I wish I would have done much earlier than I did is this…
… discovered that Purpose and Influence are the key.
Here’s what I mean…
Why Purpose And Influence Are So Important And HOW I Found Them Rather Easily In My Life
Like I said, this journey started a few years ago in injecting meaningful purpose into my business that had nothing to do with money and everything to do with legacy and helping a lot of people. But it wasn’t until last year when I had a buddy of mine named Ryan fly out here to Oregon to spend a week with me that things clicked for me… since then… with those 2 simple mindshifts and insights life and business has been crazy amazing.
Here’s some of whats happened the last 12 months:
- My wife and I had our first baby… a beautiful little girl (lol, had nothing to do with Ryan by the way. That was all us 🙂
- I started a new company that truly is 100% my passion working with people I love to work with (big breakthrough)
- I traveled about 12 times in the last 12 months including Hawaii for 2 weeks vaca w/ the family, skydiving in Orlando for charity, Cabo with friends and clients, Costa Rica for 2 weeks with friends and an insanely great business experience, a 10 day roadtrip vacation, had VIP backcourt treatment at an Orlando Magic game,with my wife and newborn baby, … a bunch of awesome and exciting things
- I followed my passion (and purpose) finally and started a Young Entrepreneurs group here in town
- Just now (next week) moving into an 8,000 sq. ft. office space downtown in my city where I’m building a high energy entrepreneurial co-work environment where I already have 3 companies who are moving in with me because of the vision we’ve set for the place
- … and a bunch more exciting things to come.
Now, here’s the thing.. I don’t say any of this to brag.
In fact, the exact opposite.
I say this because all of those things were things I had wanted to do for years… BUT HADN’T been able to for some reason.
What Changes Did I Make That My Buddy Ryan Helped Me Do?
Well, the changes were pretty simple really (in hindsight). They were staring me in the face all along. Even though I had been “successful” according to most peoples standards… I wasn’t having all that much fun in my business before 12 months ago and I wasn’t all that fulfilled at what I was doing (although I am very proud of what my companies have done and still do for our customers and partners).
You see, Ryan is a really deep mind / body dude that I’ve known for a couple years. He has consulted with a lot of really successful people and he takes a different path than I had ever been through before.
Rather than the “self-help” and “personal growth” stuff we’re all used to seeing…
… it was a meld of several things that involved both the mind and the body (most people forget about the body aspect of it… that has a huge role in helping you release that purpose and gain influence in your life)…
… and the way he explains how the mind works (really deep stuff, I’m warning ya) really unlocked things for me (parts of it also confused the heck outta me too to tell ya the ruth, but it blew my mind).
Basically…
Ryan helped me master my mind, gain deep insight on my purpose (which is key), discover what type of personality I am on a deep level (because each type of personality… fire… water… earth (he describes them in his ebook) all naturally have different strengths and limitations that unless you identify them specifically… you’ll never find your true purpose and never really know how to get there.
Then, once you’ve identified
- How to master your own thoughts and body
- What type of personality you naturally are (he helps you identify it and use it to your advantage)
- What your purpose for being is (which melds with your business of course)
… then a huge part of the equation most people miss is now how to take all of that newfound insight and knowledge about yourself and how you work… and use that to influence (in a cool way) those around you and your own actions to help you and them get to that purpose in life. Thats the biggie.
That was my missing link. The true deep influence on your surroundings to help you reach your purpose and passion in life (and help others do the same)
So, How Can You Go Through The Same Process That Changed My Life?
Ryan had never sold or written this process down before. It was all stuck in his brain and his personal journal… and he only taught it to his high end consulting clients.
So, while he was out here in Oregon he actually started to put it down on paper and when he got back to Orlando he started to record audios and some insanely insightful diagrams that really help break down some of the really heavy and deep concepts (trust me, I’ve done my share of “personal growth”… and the stuff Ryan talks about and guided me through I’ve never seen before. This isn’t me just saying this… its fact).
He finished it up a couple months back and I told him if he did… I promised that I’d be one of the first to pass the same info on to other people so they could see similar benefits in their own lives.
He calls it Alpha Influence… and has broken it down into several modules (its a deep program so there’s a lot to it, but its broken down into easy to digest and apply chunks unlike most stuff).
Alpha Influence Has My FULL Endorsement (I don’t say that lightly)
Here’s the deal… I get skeptical just like the rest of ya about stuff. There’s a lot of crap out there. But, I can honestly say… I know Ryan… I have personally gone through and experienced what his concepts and support can do (the last year has been amazing) that other “trainings” and programs havne’t been able to do for me…
… and he’s stayed with me at my own house here in Oregon for a week hiking waterfalls, going camping, drinking wine and smoking cigars… so this isn’t some “lets make a quick buck” affiliate promotion that I just came by.
So, now that thats out of the way…
… if you’re:
- Struggling to find out why you haven’t made the progress in business or life you’ve wanted
- Struggling to find your true purpose
- Struggling to really make your true purpose happen
- Struggling to master and understand your own mind and how it works so you can use it to do awesome things
- On a quest to better yourself and always improve your mindset and well being
- At the mercy of someone elses influence in your life rather than guiding your own path
… then Ryans stuff might be for you (it’s not right for everyone, I’ll tell you that. It’s pretty deep and advanced stuff)
And, just so you know… it’s not expensive. It was priced at $97 for the reports he wrote (the graphics and diagrams in the reports are insane… lol, you’ll see when you get inside of it) but I got him to set up a fancy $50 off coupon code for our group bringing it down under $50.

My Final Thoughts
I’m going to 100% transparent and upfront. Thats the way I like to be treated so thats how I like to treat our subscribers and friends.
Yes, the intention of this entire post is to sell you on getting what Ryan has put down on paper into Alpha Influence. I’m not hiding that one bit.
The reason I feel so good and strongly about that is I know and can attest to what the stuff inside those pages has done for me in the past 12 months. No joke.
And, I would feel like I’m doing a massive dis-service to you as an REIbrain subscriber to not tell you about something that has worked for me so damn well. I would hope you would do the same for me.
And, the fact it only costs $47 for those two reports (the word “report” doesn’t do them justice, trust me) shows my intention… I do make a small tidy referral fee… but I’m definitely not getting rich off of it even if 100 of our readers were to pick it up. Actually, the amount of time its taken me to write this blog post isn’t even worth it for me money wise to justify that as the main motivator.
So, at the very least… head over and listen to what Ryan has to say.
If you resonate with him, his message, and his delivery like I do… awesome. You’ll see how it can affect your life.
If you don’t, awesome. Find something in your life that you do resonate with and can apply that will help you live that true purpose in life and gain that influence (in a cool way, this isn’t evil influence stuff) on your surroundings and others to help ou get there.
Head on over and grab it (not sure when the coupon code is going to be taken down):
