Millionaire Mindcast

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have an amazing guest Scott Omelianuk who shares insights and wisdom about content consumption habits, amazing business stories that impacted the community during this crisis, and tips on how to adapt and thrive in this current landscape! Scott Omelianuk is an entrepreneur, entrepreneurship and marketing lecturer, media and brand builder, consumer connector, brand Lead of the premiere voice of America's entrepreneurs, owners and business builders via Inc.com, Inc. Magazine (Editor-in-Chief), the Inc 5000, the Inc., and more. His responsibilities include developing new lines of business to serve the entrepreneurial community and overseeing the events and content that makeup the Inc. ecosystem. He achieves remarkable honors as named to the Ad Age A-list, received Ad Age’s Media Vanguard award for implementing the first user generated content in national media, and for pioneering QR codes, digital video, AR, content marketing, and building a juggernaut lead generation business. Also, brokered corporate partnerships, now worth billions. Just like what most of the businesses do during this world crisis, Scott’s team also did remote work. They’ve struggled at first as doing events is a big part of their business. But they embraced the situation and figured out how to produce products remotely, and makeup revenue. This challenging year left Scott optimistic. Despite all the conflict, he is still quite positive about human nature in general. He suggests that businesses should be innovating to not be left behind and never be obsolete. Therefore, business owners should change their business over time, and adapt to the new trend just like what the Inc. company did that primarily supports entrepreneurship. Relative to this, make time to tease apart your revenue to make sure you’re always planning for the future so that you don’t end up in the swamp. Listening to, and intuitive understanding of your customers, clients, consumers, and the community is key. Also, engaging with them empathetically is an important thing. For Scott, it’s not just about making money, it’s about carving time out to have a relationship with your time, carving time out for yourself. Most importantly, make sure you don’t sacrifice your family for your business to avoid regrets in the end!   Some Questions I Ask: Give us a recap of what did you guys see that shocked you in 2020, and how it impacted Inc in general or everybody in your ecosystem, and how did you guys pivot in the storm?

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a wonderful guest, Andrew Cushman who shares knowledge and tips on how to mitigate your fear, the benefit of having a partner and a mentor and how to find it, the benefits of being in an amazing tribe or group, what are the most valuable skill sets to build wealth, tips for the beginners in real estate investing,  and how to effectively find deals! Andrew Cushman is a chemical engineer, an entrepreneur, real estate investor, top multi-family syndicator, and manager and owner of Vantage Point Acquisitions, a real estate private equity firm focused on acquiring, repositioning, and operating B and C class multifamily communities throughout the Southeast. He provides passive real estate investment opportunities for investors and an educational community for Multifamily operators to help active investors scale their portfolios. He was in college when he realized that he wanted to be in business but don’t know what it is. He finished a degree in engineering and got a well-paid job. Until one day he really found his calling. He read an article about flipping houses that influenced him to take courses on flipping. Luckily, he found a mentor that boosted his confidence. Although he was scared of quitting his well-paid cozy job, with courage and confidence, he did it and pursued flipping full-time. He bought his first property and got his first apartment deal.  Andrew believes that in order to equip and grow yourself, you should not limit and control your limiting beliefs. Go and find people of all types that you can learn from because you can learn from anybody and hire them, but also grab the opportunity to educate yourself for free. It’s just a matter of finding like minded people in order to find your core values, and grow with them. In addition, he admits that understanding your numbers, and having a great team have really helped him get to his position right now.
