How to make Millions with Credit Card Transactions

 

David Carlin and his wife Patricia have gradually and quite patiently built a massive passive income stream through an industry little-known to most: digital payments. When everyone else was on the grind – either on their own business or employed at someone else's – the power couple was constantly on the joyride – traveling the world, golfing, and whatnot. People found it hard to believe you could make much money as them by just helping people and businesses get set up with credit card processing. So the couple even made a course out of their business functionalities – The Digital Payments Revolution – which sells for just a few ten dollars!

 

David joins me on the podcast today to explain how the whole system of his business works and how it yields him the returns and affords him the lifestyle he can today. Residual Payments is a proven model; a little bit of a grind until the first few wins, yet a terrific time investment. He reveals the different things that go into setting up + running the business, the mindset secrets to such incredible success, and the way forward with Residual Payments.

 

David also reminisces about his journey to entrepreneurship, pivoting from a retail bike business upon the advice of his now-wife and business partner Patricia Carlin. He also reveals the mindset secrets to lasting success, including cultivating an abundance mindset and keeping aside ego. Listen in!

Episode 51 Nicholas Bayerle

Meet Nicholas Bayerle - a man on a mission to help others achieve their dreams and unlock their full potential! From a young age, he knew the value of solving problems and bringing value to people, thanks to his father's carpet cleaning and flood restoration business. Starting his own lawn mowing company at just 12 years of age, he discovered the importance of delivering value to his customers!

Despite a passion for motocross, Nicholas faced challenges when his parents separated and he struggled with his mental and overall well-being. Feeling like his dream had been crushed, he stopped talking to his father for over three and a half years and lived only with his mother. But if you’re wondering if these challenges held him back from his success, you’re wrong. Because they didn’t. Instead, they fueled his drive to help others achieve their goals and unlock their full potential! Nicholas learned the importance of taking responsibility for one's life and investing in personal growth and came far in his financially free career as an entrepreneur and coach. Now with his mentorship program and show, he has a community of Christian business owners and provides them with free content on health, faith, family, and business. He is also the founder of Kings Brotherhood and hosts personal development events. He encourages people to seek out wise counsel, surround themselves with like-minded individuals, and take action towards their goals!

 

With financial freedom, you can pursue your dreams without needing permission from money. Nicholas’ dream is to create a community where individuals can connect, grow, and achieve their dreams without fear of financial constraints or negative beliefs holding them back. Does it strike a chord with you too?

Listen to this episode for more lessons from Nicholas!

Helen Croydon - Show Notes

We hear about marketing all. the. time. But PR? Why do people get into it so much?

Helen Croydon, our guest for this episode of Success Leaves Clues, would give you four reasons:

>> to cement their authority in their personal brand and be seen as an industry expert,

>> to spread a message they are passionate about,

>> to gain clarity on what they can talk about, and

>> to pivot into something new and raise their digital profile.

PR is what we ALL aim for but don’t seem to know enough about! That’s why, today, you’ll get to learn about it from someone who knows the ins and outs of it better than most. Helen owns and (successfully) runs a PR agency “Thought Leadership PR”, which helps secure media coverage (e.g. articles, podcasts, speaking engagements) for people, help with their LinkedIn presence, and give basic SEO advice to help them grow their brand. She also hosts a podcast, "The Media Insider," where she interviews insiders in the media (editors, producers) to learn about what their publications cover, what the regular slots/features are, and how the listener's story/expertise could fit. Helen is committed to harboring a good understanding of the media and the opportunities that it makes available for her clients.

Success clues from today’s episode:

●       Stay focused and persevere.

●       Cultivate self discipline. It takes a lot of focus, dedication, time and energy to achieve sustainable success.

●       Care for other people, genuinely. The more you give, the more you get.

Episode 49 Ryan Zofay

If you’ve been scarred by a rough past, you’re likely often thinking: Why is this happening to me?

Most of us have been there. So did my guest for today’s episode of Success Leaves Clues, Ryan Zofay. After years of lingering trauma, rash coping mechanisms, and a low, ashamed mindset, Ryan decided to break even with life and eventually shape his path positively. While he attributes this change to the influence of motivational speaker and thought leader Tony Robbins, he’s able to sum it up into one life-changing realization: that life wasn’t happening “to” him, it was happening “for” him.

In today’s episode, hear Ryan’s story of becoming a personal motivational coaching brand by learning to view life’s happenings as opportunities for growth and self-improvement. He reveals the tough relationship he’d formed with his father (who’d himself been traumatized from a divorce and the death of one of his children) as a child, and how it affected his behavior in relationships, specifically in a toxic relationship with his old partner. While the relationship had major falls, his then partner introduced him to Tony Robbins, whose words helped him understand his past behaviors and change them. Tony Robbins’ speeches led him to find his end goal of becoming a voice for those who are scared to speak up—which he does today through We Level Up. Hear all the lessons from his inspiring journey in this episode!

Brenden Kumarasamy_ Show Notes

“If you had all the money in the world, how would you spend your time?”

“If you could only accomplish three things in your life, what would you want those three things to be?”

“What's a goal or a dream that you secretly gave up on and never told anyone about?”

These are three questions my guest Brenden Kumarasamy, a communication expert and the founder of the MasterTalk communication program, would ask you to ask yourself before sealing your success path. Following Tony Robbins' words, he believes that the quality of your life is solely determined by the quality of the questions you ask yourself about life. But he adds his own spin to it. He says, ask yourself one hard question about life every single day for 30 days, and your life will never be the same. That is his 80-20 rule, also a major highlight of our conversation today!

When giving up the position of a high-rising star at IBM to pursue his YouTube channel communication coaching full-time, he was as scared as anyone else would be to leave behind a secure job to pursue entrepreneurship. But that's all in the past now. From studying accounting in college to coaching others on how to win in case competitions, Brenden's journey in business and communication has been one of learning, growth, and giving back. Frustrated by the dearth of free communication coaching resources, he was determined to found his YouTube channel Master Talk, where he's since shared his expertise in communication with his followers. Despite making good money as a Communication Coach, he continues to prioritize making content on Master Talk free for those who may not have the resources to pay for it. His desire to give back and make a meaningful impact on others is exactly what drives him to continue sharing his knowledge and skills. He sits with me today to share the secrets to his successful life and career. Tune in to know why self-awareness tops the list!

 

Success clues:

●       Your self-awareness and how you analyze yourself matter a lot in life.

●       At any point, don't stop to analyze what you're doing and where you're at.

●       Overcome fear instead of being stuck in it.

●       Learn to embrace the uncomfortable. Success, growth, learning, and stretching yourself, all of that is very uncomfortable.
