1:16

1:18

nation and share something that

1:20

you believe about becoming successful

1:23

that most people disagree with.

1:26

What's going on JLD, super excited to connect

1:28

with Fire Nation today. You know I think

1:30

a common theme and thought that a lot

1:32

of people think is that debt is wrong,

1:35

that you need to avoid debt at all

1:37

costs and especially if you've ever

1:39

gone on YouTube and you've seen Mark Cuban

1:41

has a video where he says anybody who

1:44

starts a business with a loan is a

1:46

moron is what Mark Cuban says. And

1:49

yet Under Armour's Kevin Plank

1:51

launched Under Armour with $40,000

1:54

in credit cards. Now he had a

1:56

little bit of savings but without that $40,000 in

1:58

credit cards. billion dollar

2:01

company Under Armour does not

2:03

exist. Starbucks was also launched

2:05

with a loan and

2:07

Nike's Phil Knight before Nike went public

2:09

almost went bankrupt a number of times

2:12

if it weren't for the ingenuity and

2:14

what I call the funding formula that

2:16

great entrepreneurs follow and he got those

2:19

loans over and over again to keep

2:22

Nike afloat. Even Google needed

2:24

some creative financing long

2:26

before they got venture capital financing

2:28

in order to launch and frankly

2:30

all three of my successful

2:32

businesses each launched with some debt.

2:35

So I think that's a misperception

2:37

that and certainly debt for personal

2:39

reasons doesn't ever make you money

2:41

going and maxing out that

2:43

credit card to go on vacation or

2:45

to buy clothes or furnishings that doesn't

2:48

make you money but business and debt

2:50

is completely different and I think that's

2:52

a big misconception. And that's what we'll

2:54

be talking about here today Fire Nation

2:56

is business and debt again

2:58

not going into debt with

3:00

your vacation or with a wedding

3:03

or with one of those other

3:05

life purchases are going to potentially

3:07

have a big return for you

3:09

down that line and as

3:11

I mentioned in the introduction we're talking

3:13

all about how to launch your venture

3:15

Fire Nation with zero percent funding and

3:17

profits by helping others with funding. I

3:20

mean this is gonna be a whole

3:22

conversation around this and

3:24

let's just start with the

3:26

obvious question Leo which is

3:28

the difficulty in obtaining funding

3:30

for a new business. How difficult is it?

3:33

You know it is extremely difficult to obtain

3:35

funding for a new business and really ever

3:37

since the recession of 08 and 09 it's

3:39

just unfortunately

3:42

gotten that much more difficult and one

3:44

of the other misperceptions out there is

3:46

well I think I can just go

3:48

get some venture capital right or maybe

3:50

I can just you know list something

3:52

on crowdfunding like what you did successfully

3:55

And get some funding and financing to get started

3:57

that way. and that certainly can work. but I'm.

4:00

Fortunately, the statistics show it only works

4:02

for about five percent of new businesses.

4:04

Venture capital crowdfunding make up five percent

4:06

or less of the funding do businesses

4:08

gets. And so then the next thought

4:10

as well. Hey, you know what I

4:12

banked at my local bank for a

4:14

number years? I've got my money. They're

4:16

they're gonna help me right somewhere to

4:18

go to my local bag. And last,

4:20

what I did was try to start

4:22

my first business and went to the

4:24

local bag and they're like know If

4:26

you do you have you know business

4:28

financials? do you have assets and. You

4:30

know freak their property that we can

4:32

take as collateral and for most do

4:34

entrepreneurs as just not doable and so

4:36

as be a in business loan said

4:38

the your bank make up another five

4:41

percent of So we're talking about ninety

4:43

percent a new business owners. How do

4:45

they get the financing and the funding

4:47

to be able to launch the products

4:49

and services, the change and improve our

4:51

lives and reality is it's very difficult.

4:53

It's very challenging for them to do

4:55

that and so that's where I felt

4:57

this mission this call to how can.

5:00

I figure out how to get my

5:02

own business funding and it once was

5:04

able to figure that out and I

5:06

started to help friends and family in

5:08

one thing led to another and and

5:10

it's been in or just so satisfying

5:12

to build a help entrepreneurs. Good the

5:14

products and services but if you you

5:17

don't know until you try and than

5:19

on Sunday like dang reality is Hop

5:21

is much more difficult than I thought.

5:23

Melissa Slender ball and like that words

5:25

fundable. So how can we make our

5:27

businesses wonderful? Have we make our businesses

5:29

look appealing? For other people

5:31

to actually help us fund our

5:34

own businesses job as a great

5:36

question and it breaks down in

5:38

into a few factors: One factories

5:40

they want to see that your

5:42

business in a looks legitimate. It's

5:45

much more than having that business

5:47

plan. It's is having that business

5:49

website. It's having the business in

5:51

good standing in active with you

5:54

state the Commerce department states having

5:56

everything a match up a separate

5:58

business phone number eight. Business Email

6:00

Nottage email email but an actual you know

6:02

your business A.com type email. So once you

6:04

have that little foundational pieces as part of

6:07

the puzzle but then the other part especially

6:09

for a new business is until you get

6:11

your business up to fifty one hundred million

6:13

dollars a year which takes a takes a

6:15

lot of works. Ill A goes off of

6:17

personal credit because it's kind of like you

6:19

know when you're eighteen and you go out

6:22

to to get a car loan and the

6:24

likely don't have any credit history when any

6:26

mom and dad and co sign and so

6:28

in order for your business your brand. New

6:30

Business that doesn't have financials. To

6:32

get some financing we need to

6:34

take a look at your history

6:36

of personal credits and if we

6:38

can see some good things on

6:40

your personal credits been we can

6:42

be comfortable extending some financing. It's

6:44

funding that way so personal credits

6:46

very important and if you are

6:48

starting a new business it's actually

6:50

really important to keep that day

6:52

job that w two jobs because

6:54

that proven verifiable income of w

6:56

to job is going test help

6:58

you qualify for additional financing. And funding

7:01

options so that super important. And then

7:03

the other thing you want to think

7:05

about is what lazy assets do I

7:07

have sitting around. Sometimes we do have

7:10

a car that's paid off free and

7:12

clear that we can use as collateral

7:14

to get some financing and and be

7:16

fundable says credit the start up. then

7:18

we start looking okay now I got

7:20

some initial funding. I've seen success. Proof

7:23

of concept, generating sales. Okay good now

7:25

how will the takes her your business

7:27

bank statements right The you keep a

7:29

decent balance. in there to keep that business

7:31

bank account from going have no negative don't

7:34

put it in the day good if don't

7:36

bounced checks right if you can do those

7:38

things build a strong business bank account history

7:40

that's going to help and in the next

7:42

step is down the road if you are

7:44

trying to qualify for that biggest be a

7:47

loan than that's where you have to strategically

7:49

get with your account as are i we

7:51

we may be can be quite as aggressive

7:53

all of our write offs this year we're

7:55

going need to show more profits on the

7:58

tax returns and once you understand it with

8:00

your CPA or accountant on that, then you

8:02

can qualify for even bigger loans into the

8:04

future. A lot of things I want to

8:06

go back over right here, Fire Nation. Number one,

8:09

does your business look legit?

8:11

Do you have a website?

8:13

Are you working with an

8:15

actual email address that isn't,

8:17

again, [email protected], but john at

8:20

entrepreneurs on fire.com? Do

8:22

you have a JOB that's actually bringing

8:24

in money? That's a good thing. They'll

8:26

look very highly upon that because you

8:28

have money coming in. What potential

8:31

lazy assets do you have laying around, like maybe

8:33

a paid off car, maybe some real estate, some

8:35

other things that could be collateral. And

8:37

then hey, it's great to minimize

8:39

taxes, but sometimes there are ways to

8:42

be strategic where you're not gonna

8:44

minimize everything down to the bone. You're gonna show some

8:46

actual profits. So people are like, whoa, this

8:48

company is actually generating significant revenue.

8:50

They are making a significant profit.

8:53

We can loan against that. And then SBA

8:55

loans become more possible, et cetera. Now

8:58

you've created Leo, a funding

9:00

formula that so many successful

9:02

entrepreneurs have followed, thousands in

9:04

fact, break down that

9:07

formula for us. Absolutely,

9:09

GLD. So this funding formula

9:11

was something that I was studying

9:13

and researching and really trying to

9:16

grow our funding options and marketplace. I

9:18

wondered, in history with some of the

9:20

great entrepreneurs, has there kind of been

9:22

a formula that they followed? And one

9:24

of the guys I started with actually

9:27

in my research was Sam Walton and

9:29

Walmart in his book, Made

9:31

an American Amazing book, if you

9:33

haven't read it, I definitely recommend

9:35

it. But Sam Walton established these

9:38

unique relationships. He built his business

9:40

credit. And as he was

9:42

doing that, he was able to get

9:44

financing over and over through

9:46

the years, again for a long time,

9:49

for decades, way before he went public.

9:51

And then once he went public, had

9:53

plenty of financing options. So this funding

9:55

formula is it starts with the foundation.

9:57

It starts with that personal credit, right?

10:00

building that good personal credit score. And

10:02

it's more than just making those payments

10:04

on time, it's having a mixture of

10:06

loans, lines of credit, car loans and

10:09

mortgages. So you start with that personal

10:11

credit foundation. And then the next thing

10:13

you wanna do is you

10:16

want to build relationships with lenders

10:18

and funding sources because relationships are

10:20

what matter. And so when Phil

10:22

Knight was growing Nike, that was

10:24

part of the funding formula. He

10:26

had to have these relationships and

10:28

he would literally like fly several

10:30

states away because he had gone through all

10:33

of the local banks and the banks there

10:35

in Oregon and found as many options as

10:37

he could. Then he'd go to California, he'd

10:39

go to Missouri of all places and build

10:42

these relationships with additional lenders. And once you

10:44

build that relationship and that trust and you

10:46

have good payment history and you use that

10:49

line of credit, pay it down, then they'll

10:51

extend more credit. And then the funny thing

10:53

about it, it's kinda like in the NFL

10:55

where they say it's a copycat league and

10:58

people copy plays. Well, the thing happens if

11:00

I'm a lender, I'm competing against

11:02

another lender and I see, oh,

11:04

okay, American Express gave you 25,000.

11:08

Well, I can trust you with 25,000 as well. And

11:11

then it starts to become, part

11:13

of this formula is building these

11:15

relationships and then going after you

11:18

build it with one, building that

11:20

relationship with additional lenders and then

11:22

understanding all the options on the

11:24

funding marketplace, right? Everybody

11:26

wants to know that the grads isn't greener, that if

11:29

they go to a funding company, that am I

11:31

really getting what's the best funding for me

11:33

and that I qualify for? And

11:35

so as an entrepreneur, you can try

11:37

and keep your finger on the pulse

11:39

of the funding environment, but you're probably

11:41

pretty busy running your business. And so

11:43

that's where if you can have a

11:45

funding advocate who does that hard work,

11:47

who has their fingers on the pulse,

11:49

who's always helping thousands of entrepreneurs to

11:51

get the financing they need to create

11:54

their dream business, then that's very helpful

11:56

to have a funding advocate on your

11:58

side to kind of manage that. So

12:00

Fire Nation, there's just a lot of gems

12:02

within what Leo just shared. Number one, you

12:05

brought up Phil Knight for a second time.

12:07

I mean, the book Shoe Dog, Fire Nation,

12:10

it's such an enjoyable read. I'm

12:12

literally actually going to download it from my audible

12:14

today now because I just haven't listened to it

12:17

probably in five years and just going through that

12:19

book, man, it is just so inspiring. And it's

12:21

going through a lot of things that Leo is

12:23

talking about here. So I highly, highly recommend that.

12:26

And something else that Leo shared that

12:28

I had to write down was momentum

12:30

begets momentum. And it's so true

12:32

in everything in life. You know, like when I got

12:35

Gary Vaynerchuk and Tim Ferriss to say yes to be

12:37

on my podcast, who was going to

12:39

say no at that point? I had momentum

12:41

on my side, just like when American

12:43

Express gives you alone, hey, there's

12:46

other people that would be like, oh, well, if

12:48

they're qualifying this person, they've probably done all the

12:50

hard work. Let's make that happen. Just like I

12:52

used to always think about how it'd

12:55

be like, wow, there's Home Depot right here.

12:57

Why does Lowe's always open up a shop

12:59

right next to Home Depot? It's because Lowe's

13:01

knew that Home Depot did all the hard work that like this

13:03

is a busy enough intersection. There's enough people. Now Lowe's is like,

13:06

we're just going to come in and be better. We're just going

13:08

to come in and be a better store. And

13:10

so momentum begets momentum,

13:13

Fire Nation. And then remember, understand

13:15

all your options. There are a

13:18

lot of options. You need to understand

13:20

all of them because every

13:22

situation is different. Every opportunity might

13:25

be the right one for you

13:27

or different opportunities might be the

13:29

right opportunity for you because you're

13:31

unique. You're different. You have a

13:33

unique, special situation. Now we're

13:36

going to talk about qualifying for funding at 0%.

13:39

We're going to talk about how to get

13:41

a free pre-approval to actually see what your

13:43

options are before you even take a step

13:46

Fire Nation and so much more. When

13:48

we get back from thinking our

13:50

sponsors. That's

14:00

why HubSpot created the 2024 State

14:03

14:45

for all the trends shaping marketing

14:47

this year. Leo, we're back

14:49

and before the break, I was teasing

14:51

the opportunity, the possibility of qualifying

14:54

for funding at 0%. Is

14:57

that even possible? You know what, JLD, we

15:00

are so fortunate to live in the country

15:02

that we do in the US where that

15:04

is an option because there are all these

15:06

different funding sources that to build that relationship

15:09

with you will offer a 0% interest

15:12

rate for some initial financing

15:14

and funding. And it

15:16

actually is possible. And so for your business to

15:18

qualify for some 0% credit lines to get

15:21

launched, to get off the ground, which how

15:23

great is that? You know, you've got 0%

15:25

interest for up to 15, even

15:27

in some cases up to 20 months before

15:30

you even have to worry about interest. And

15:32

in order to qualify for that, again, we

15:34

start with the foundation. That business needs to

15:36

be in compliance. And what that means is

15:38

everything needs to match up, right? If

15:41

I go look up your business on

15:43

the online listings with Google and with

15:45

some of the online listing services, does

15:47

that address match up with your business and

15:49

CD with the state website? And

15:51

does it match up with the business license?

15:54

Does it match up with the phone number

15:56

that's listed? And again, do I see an

15:58

actual website? Do I see any? email

16:00

address on the listings that goes back

16:02

to your business website. And so once

16:04

we have that foundation, we confirm the

16:06

businesses in compliance. Well, again, now we

16:09

want to start to look at the

16:11

personal credit history, right? Especially if you're

16:13

a new business, then that personal credit

16:15

is very important. And so you want

16:17

to have strong personal credit payments are

16:19

made on time. And then a big

16:21

secret, a big tip that a lot

16:24

of people don't know is

16:26

your credit cards, right? If your credit

16:28

cards are all maxed out, and then

16:30

you're going and looking for additional financing, then

16:32

it's kind of like, wow, you're one missed

16:34

paycheck from defaulting on everything that makes you

16:37

high risk, you're going to get declined. So

16:39

if you can have your credit card balances

16:41

paid down below half of the limits, then

16:43

that's going to increase your odds and success

16:46

of getting financing and funding. And sometimes we

16:48

don't have that money just sitting around to

16:50

pay those down. And we already use the

16:52

credit cards to kind of launch the business.

16:54

And that's where we'll help you out by

16:57

getting you, you know, a three, five year

16:59

loan that you can use to pay down

17:01

some of those balances, raise your credit score

17:03

by 40 or 50 points, and

17:05

then actually be able to qualify for that 0%

17:08

money. And the other factor that they'll

17:10

look at is if you can have a

17:13

mixture of credit, right? You Yes, you've

17:15

got credit card history, the student loans

17:17

don't really help or hurt. But

17:19

they also want to see some mortgage

17:21

history, some auto loan history. So if

17:23

we can see a mixture of different

17:25

financing types on your personal credit, then

17:27

that's going to be really pivotal in

17:29

qualifying for that 0% money. Fire

17:32

Nation, there's a lot of things I

17:34

really want you to understand where it

17:36

comes to your actual opportunities here when

17:38

you want to actually potentially start with

17:41

funding at 0% for an extended

17:43

period of time to give you that runway to

17:45

give you that breathing room to actually make things

17:47

happen. But as I kind of

17:49

mentioned also before the break, Leo, I'm all

17:51

about getting all the Intel before committing. So

17:54

talk to us about how somebody can get a

17:57

free pre approval to see what

18:00

what all of our options are before

18:02

we actually sign anything or take any

18:04

serious irrevocable steps. Absolutely,

18:07

JLC. And you know what? One of the

18:09

biggest concerns that we all have is, okay,

18:11

I'm getting pre-approved, I'm getting qualified for funding.

18:14

Is this going to hurt my credit, AKA,

18:16

is there going to be a hard credit

18:18

poll, a hard ding to my credit, just

18:20

to find out what my options are? And

18:22

if you go to your local bank, unfortunately

18:25

the answer is yes, there is going

18:27

to be a hard inquiry. It is

18:29

going to have a negative impact on

18:32

your credit. So what we've done is

18:34

we established a relationship with Experian, the

18:36

largest of the three credit bureaus, and

18:38

you can actually get a no impact

18:41

pre-approval from our funding company that's not

18:43

going to have any impact on your

18:45

credit. It's what's called a soft credit

18:47

poll. And that allows us to

18:50

run your information and compare it

18:52

in our automated underwriting system with

18:54

the thousands of people we've helped

18:56

and generate a pre-approval based on

18:58

your credit. If you have verifiable income

19:00

with that job that you still may have

19:03

hopefully, then we're going to look at options

19:05

with that. If you've got the sales going

19:07

through the business bank account, we'll look at

19:10

those options. And if you're one of the

19:12

few that has those business tax returns showing

19:14

some profits, then we'll definitely look at those

19:16

options as well. And so it's very simple,

19:19

it's very easy. With our relationship with Experian,

19:21

now you actually don't even need to put

19:23

your social security number on the form, which

19:25

is nice. They've got the database so accurate

19:28

now that based off of your contact information

19:30

and residential address, we can actually

19:32

get that free pre-approval. And

19:35

what we did was we

19:37

wanted to make it as

19:39

easy as possible so that

19:41

you can remember the website

19:43

URL. But we created a

19:45

website URL just for Fire

19:47

Nation. It's sevenfigures.com, that's the

19:49

digit sevenfigures.com,/fire. And at

19:52

that site there, you're able to click

19:54

on that link, get a free pre-approval,

19:56

schedule an appointment with a funding team

19:58

member and just find out. what

20:00

are all my options on the funding marketplace? And

20:02

our job is to present all of the options

20:04

and then you're in the driver's seat to decide

20:06

what's going to work best for you. So

20:09

there's a lot of things here

20:11

at Fire Nation. Number one, that

20:13

soft credit pull, the no impact

20:16

on your credit is basically a

20:18

risk-free way to just be like,

20:20

okay, where do I stand? What

20:22

are my actual options? And of

20:24

course, sevenfigures.com/fire, the number seven, sevenfigures.com/fire.

20:27

That's where you can head over to learn a lot more

20:29

about what Leo's talking about here. But before

20:31

we do let you go, I do have another question

20:33

because there's a lot of business coaches, Leo, within

20:36

Fire Nation here. So how can

20:38

the addition of funding increase

20:40

a business coach's sales?

20:43

You know what, that's such a

20:45

powerful question. And our entire business

20:47

model really is predicated on helping

20:49

business coaches and business consultants to

20:51

kind of remove that big obstacle

20:53

of, oh, you know what, I'd

20:55

really like to invest in your

20:57

business coaching, but I'm low on

20:59

funds, right? Well, guess what? When

21:02

you can provide financing and funding

21:04

options at a 0% interest rate

21:06

so that you can help more

21:08

people actually be able to

21:10

invest in coaching and consulting. We know mentoring

21:12

and coaching helps the business owner so much

21:14

to have that success. And then not only

21:17

pay for that coaching, but have additional money

21:19

and lines of credit available to implement the

21:22

growth. I might have the money to pay

21:24

for your coaching, but if I don't actually

21:26

have the additional money to implement the growth

21:29

strategies, to do that Facebook marketing campaign, to

21:31

hire that additional salesperson to buy that inventory,

21:33

then your coaching may not help quite as

21:35

much. And so that's where when you can

21:38

offer funding and financing and do it in

21:40

a way that doesn't take much of your

21:42

time, we've created a software that creates a

21:44

custom funding link for you to be able

21:46

to put on your website, email text out,

21:48

and basically just connect them right up to

21:51

our sales team. You don't have to do

21:53

any of the work, and yet you get

21:55

tracking with our software where you

21:57

know, okay, the client just received funding and we're

21:59

gonna. as a second sales team for

22:02

you to help the client understand all

22:04

the benefits of the funding and financing

22:06

and how it can work together working

22:08

with you and your coaching as an

22:10

example of how powerful it can be.

22:12

I know you had paid to a

22:14

day on your podcast recently and he's

22:16

an amazing guy and we've been fortunate

22:18

to provide funding for a lot of

22:20

his clients but also one of his

22:23

top students, Steven, we started working with

22:25

a little over a year ago and

22:27

ever since he started working with us, he went

22:29

from having six-figure challenge launches to seven-figure

22:32

challenge launches because we've been fortunate

22:34

to provide funding for hundreds of

22:36

his clients who now have the

22:38

money and the confidence to launch

22:40

that business and learn from the

22:42

coaching and the training and the

22:44

mentoring. That's how powerful it can

22:46

be. It can literally take your

22:48

business from six to seven figures

22:50

overnight. This is really powerful stuff Fire

22:52

Nation because now you are literally adding

22:54

to your team as a business coach

22:57

an entire additional team that's going to be

22:59

able to help you help your

23:02

clients get the funding that they need so

23:04

they can afford your services, so they can

23:06

invest in your services so that you can

23:08

then invest in them

23:10

and create amazing results for

23:12

them. So Leo, you shared

23:14

a ton of great value all day today.

23:16

What is the one thing you really want

23:18

to make sure Fire Nation gets from everything

23:21

that we've talked about here today? Give

23:23

us some more details again about

23:25

the sevenfigures.com/Fire and then we'll say

23:28

goodbye. Absolutely. So sevenfigures.com slash Fire,

23:30

not only can you get pre-approved for

23:32

funding and financing on the entire marketplace

23:35

including options at zero percent interest, but

23:37

we're also going to be giving away

23:39

two free gifts. We're giving away a

23:41

digital copy of my book, the business

23:43

funding formula. We're also going to be

23:46

giving you credit college. I don't know

23:48

about you, but in high school and

23:50

college, I didn't learn anything about credit

23:52

and I sure wish I had. That's

23:55

why we built the credit college platform

23:57

to give you access to all the

23:59

information. and the tricks and secrets to keep

24:01

your credit score high, save thousands of dollars on

24:03

credit for the rest of your life, and hopefully

24:05

even be able to teach your family and

24:08

your children about that. So we're giving away

24:10

those two free gifts. And again, for business

24:13

coaches and consultants who are looking to, well,

24:15

I need to look at this, how can

24:17

I get more information on joining your funding

24:19

partner program on that same link, sevenfigures.com/fire.

24:22

You can actually sign up

24:24

for free as a funding

24:27

partner and get right into

24:29

our funding portal, get your custom

24:31

funding link, and start helping your clients

24:33

secure financing so they can build their

24:36

dream business and invest in your coaching

24:38

and consulting. Fire Nation, I'm proud of

24:40

you because you're listening to this stuff

24:42

right now. And let's be honest, the

24:44

education system has failed everybody for an

24:47

incredibly long period of time. I mean,

24:49

the fact that we can graduate high

24:51

school and then even college, supposedly quote

24:53

unquote, higher education without knowing anything about

24:56

credit, about money, about finances,

24:58

about debt, it's absolute insanity.

25:01

And it is crushing people before they even

25:03

have a chance to start in

25:05

this world. And it's so sad. That's why I

25:07

love when I talk to people like Leo who

25:09

are just putting out great content, great value on

25:11

this topic, because you gotta start

25:13

with this knowledge. You have to start with

25:15

this knowledge. So I'm proud of you for

25:17

listening to this type of content, Fire Nation,

25:20

so that you have this arsenal, that you're

25:22

armed, that you're dangerous. Fire Nation, you're the

25:24
