The Entrepreneur DNA

In this episode, I interview Craig Ballantyne, renowned business coach and author, about the importance of discipline, intentionality, and time management in achieving entrepreneurial success. Craig shares his journey of building a life of freedom by delegating low-value tasks, focusing on high-leverage activities, and surrounding himself with opportunities. He explains why living like a billionaire, through outsourcing and strategic investments in people and environments, is crucial for scaling a business. The conversation also dives into personal branding, social media strategies, and how prioritizing the right tasks can transform both your business and personal life. About Craig: Craig believes that anyone has the potential to create their ideal life and build a thriving empire. His own journey began as a broke, anxious farm boy from Ontario, Canada, stuck in a cycle of binge drinking and working as a personal trainer. Through the guidance of mentors, Craig transformed into an Empire Builder, mastering the discipline, clarity, and systems needed for success. Since then, he has founded five 7-figure businesses across different industries, authored three books (including a Wall Street Journal bestseller), and mentored thousands of entrepreneurs—from 9-figure CEOs to busy parents and high school teachers. Craig has helped over 260 entrepreneurs reach their first 7-figure milestones and has guided countless others to achieve more while working less.   ---   Connect with Craig!   Instagram - @realcraigballantyne Website - www.craigballantyne.com   ---   𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧: After investing in real estate for over 17 years and almost 3000 deals done, Justin has created a business that generates 7 figures in active income through wholesaling and fix and flipping as well as accumulating millions of dollars of rental properties including 5 apartment buildings, 50+ single family homes, and 1 storage facility   Justins longevity in real estate is due to his ability to look around the corners, adapt to changing markets, perfecting Raising private capital, and focusing on lead generation which allows him to not just wholesale and fix & flip, but also accumulate wealth through long term holds.   His success in real estate led him to start The Entrepreneur DNA podcast and The Science Of Flipping podcast and education company, where he has coached and mentored thousands of aspiring and active investors over the last decade.   He is a nationally recognized speaker and is on a mission to educate as many people as possible on becoming a successful dynamic real estate investor.   𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒔 𝑯𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝑻𝒐 𝑺𝒂𝒚 𝑨𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏:    “Justin is one of the best trainers in this space.

GO TO https://intheroom.live/ TO SCHEDULE A DEMO TODAY!   --- In this episode, I interview Bill Allen, a former Navy pilot, seasoned real estate investor, and now a tech entrepreneur. Bill shares his journey from mastering real estate investments to solving a major problem he encountered while running his own live events: how to track attendee behavior and maximize event profitability. To address this gap, Bill developed a platform called "In the Room," which leverages cutting-edge data tracking to give event hosts real-time insights into who is attending, when they leave, and how engaged they are. This technology not only enables event organizers to boost profits through targeted VIP upsells and strategic offers but also helps optimize the overall attendee experience by improving registration, check-in, and follow-up systems. The data collected allows hosts to refine their sales strategies, track the effectiveness of speakers, and personalize follow-up communications based on attendee behavior during the event. Bill emphasizes that using data intelligently can uncover hidden opportunities and solve inefficiencies in the live event space, turning otherwise missed revenue into substantial profit gains. He shares how his platform has helped turn ordinary events into cash-generating machines by providing actionable insights that were previously unavailable to hosts, offering a game-changing tool for anyone involved in running live events. ---   Connect with Bill!
