Hi everyone, I'm stoked to share my chat with Brian Leubben. Brian has an inspiring story and heaps of useful advice on mindset, taking action, and implementing rapid execution in your business. Let’s dive in and break it down for you!

What We Talked About

Brian Leubben joined me to share his journey from a corporate sales job to becoming a successful entrepreneur, podcaster, and community builder. We covered a range of topics like mindset, taking ownership, balancing work and fun, reframing problems, the importance of quick action, and his approach to business and real estate.

Mindset and Ownership

Brian stressed the significance of owning your actions and mindset. He sees life as a game where your choices determine how you play. By taking control of your mindset, you open up a world of possibilities and growth.

Balancing Work and Fun

Brian admitted he used to overwork, leaving no time for fun, which led to stress and unhappiness. He now understands the importance of scheduling fun and viewing problems as challenges that help you learn and grow. This shift in perspective can truly change the way you handle tough situations in life.

Reframing Problems

One useful bit from Brian was the idea of seeing problems as puzzles. Instead of getting bogged down by difficulties, view them as opportunities to gain experience and tools for the future. This advice came from his coach and insights by Dan Martone, and it’s a game-changer for anyone facing challenges.

Quick Action is Key

Brian's core advice was about minimizing the time between having an idea and acting on it. Whether it's in business or life, hopping on opportunities quickly can make a huge difference because waiting often means you’ll miss out on potential success.

Interest in Business Over Real Estate

Despite having a background in real estate, Brian found he wasn't passionate about it. He shared an “aha” moment where he realized his true interest lies in running and scaling businesses, which he finds more engaging and complex, like solving a Rubik’s cube.

Passive to Passionate Income

Brian achieved financial freedom by generating passive income, but he felt driven to shift towards “passionate income” - pursuing work that excites and fulfills him. His book, "From Passive to Passionate," talks about quitting jobs, growing wealth, and turning passions into profits.

Building a Community

Brian spoke about founding Action Academy, a community-centered podcast and business that provides valuable insights into commercial real estate and small businesses. The community's support has been crucial for members, helping them achieve financial freedom and success.

Networking and Podcast Growth

Building a strong network is vital according to Brian. He highlighted the importance of attending meetups and conferences to form valuable connections. He also discussed how his podcast started with interviews and grew to hit 1.3 million downloads, thanks to consistent, engaging content.

Navigating Business Ventures

Brian navigates business by focusing on growth and scaling. He plans to acquire small businesses with specific financial metrics and aims to have a portfolio of varied, stable businesses. His current ventures include a kitchen hood cleaning business and a roofing company.

Unique Investment Philosophy

He draws on advice from mentors, likening investment to managing orchards: focus on one business until it’s self-sustaining before moving to the next. This method ensures that each venture is solid before expanding, a strategy that has served Brian well in his entrepreneurship journey.

Final Takeaways

Brian’s journey from corporate sales to successful entrepreneur shows the power of mindset, quick action, and pursuing your passions. Through his experiences and insights, he offers valuable advice for anyone looking to take control of their life and career.
