What was I thinking not hiring a coach sooner?

For regular listeners, you know I’m a big fan of self development, learning, reading, and one of my favourite hacks is having coaches.

I have Crossfit coaches, a Realtor coach, two Stock Hacking coaches, a new real estate investing coach and a pretty new golf coach.

My golf coach’s name is Chris and he’s a lot better than I at golf.  He’s an associate golf pro at a pretty nice public golf course in Oakville, Ontario. He’s a tall, thin, 150 pound scratch golfer and drives the ball 300 yards.  Scratch golf means he’s in the top 1.6% of golfers who report their scores.

Warm sunny day for golf!! Great times with great friends. Made some great shots, hit a couple trees on the same hole 🤣. . Game is improving thanks largely to getting coaching. Can’t wait to keep grinding 🏌️

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto) on Nov 7, 2020 at 6:55pm PST

As with anything in life, business, health, investing, I view it all as an experiment. 

When the pandemic hit, the first thing we were allowed to do was golf so I took up the sport.  2020 is the first year I’ve played more than twice in a season so I think that qualifies me as a beginner.

This past Friday I had just my fourth golf lesson with Chris and finally made some massive improvements, the most improvement I’ve made all season.

Right after my lesson, we played nine holes and I proceeded to have my best 9 holes of the season highlighted by landing my ball 12 feet from the hole on a 193 par 3 with my 5 iron. That’s about 30 yards farther than I normally hit my 5 iron and I made the putt for my first birdie of the season. 

The next day, I was golfing with Cherry and ten other friends and I had one of my better rounds of the season include 3 pars and a birdie on the front 9.

What is the point of all this?

After the round was over I couldn’t help but kick myself how if I could do it all again, I would have invested more heavily into coaching near the beginning of the season as much of the practice I did this season was kinda wasted.

This was yet another experiment that proved to me the value of coaching. 

Practice and youtube and reading articles online as much as I did… those tens of hours did not compare to the 4 hours of coaching I’ve received. 

Going forward I will be taking weekly lessons as it is one of my Stock Hacking goals to afford me a nice golf membership.

In my experience, I pay tens of thousands each year for coaching and the investment has returned. 

My question to the listener is where can you fast track your success by hiring a coach? I’ve wasted a lot of time in all areas by not having a coach.

Please don’t make the same mistakes I did.

This week’s guest, 26-year-old Joe Costanza was smart and worked with Coach Tammy Ditomaso from my IWIN Real Estate team to begin his real estate journey. 

If you’re interested in learning for free the same strategy implemented by young Joe who’s increased his net worth by over $300,000 in just 20 months then go to www.iwinrealestate.ca and enter your contact information to be notified of our next free training class on the #1 investment strategy in real estate.

On to this week’s show!

Age 26, Making $300,000 in 20 Months On Cash Flowing Duplexes and 70 Hour Weeks With Joe Costanza

I first met Joe Costanza 20 months ago when he was a starry-eyed 24-year-old who had been hustling since a teenager, working several jobs, living at home to save up down payments for real estate. 

An architect by trade and having tried several side hustles less than successfully, Joe settled on real estate without much support from his parents.

Fast forward to today, Joe owns three properties, two he’s already duplexed and the third to be duplexed house with a joint venture partner. 

This is Joe’s story.  For those who like numbers, we’re pretty heavy with the numbers in this episode so have your pens ready.

I give you Joe Costanza.

Hello, my fellow wealth hackers!!

The secret to happiness is practicing gratitude and I’m grateful I can still go to my Radix Crossfit gym in Oakville. 

I’m thankful several politicians including my local MPP’s who stood up to Doug Ford to not send us back to Stage 2, thus our gyms and indoor restaurants are staying open.

Before anyone gets mad, I get enough hate for doing this podcast for FREE. I’m no anti masker, this is hardly political, but I’ll happily stand up for small businesses since they’re not the source problem. It’s private gatherings and “sources unknown”. 

The sources are unknown because people are gathering in private, getting sick then lying to health officials about it. It’s not rocket science. 

Knowing the greatest source of transmission is private gatherings, why are restaurants and gyms the ones to be shut down and go bankrupt when in my area, they have not been the problem? And from my experience, they’ve invested thousands of dollars and hired additional staff for cleaning, disinfecting and screening.

In my city, the mayor stated how cases are declining below the provincial average and we have ample capacity at our hospitals so why another shut down to put the nail in the coffin of more small businesses.  I really don’t get it. 

Anyways, I’ve always believed talk is cheap and I put my money where my mouth is.

I’m making a $250 donation to MPP Jane McKenna who is not my MPP and I’ve let my MPP know about it.  I let my MPP know that I support leaders who support local small businesses who will stand up to Doug Ford. I’ve said it a couple of times, this pandemic is making people crazy, so that’s enough ranting from me.

The other crazy thing is how not crazy my real estate and stock hacker friends have been. For those who say money doesn’t buy happiness… well apparently it buys sanity. 

Shout out to Shane Layte who DM’d me.  He’s our real estate client and his stock hacking returns this year were 96% but he gave back some to land at 86% currently.  Or his returns are $5,000 less than what he’s earned this year at his 40+ hour job. 

In case I forgot to shout out Ron Esteban, I had lunch with Ron last week, we had him on the podcast just a few months ago but he’ll be coming back asap after he dropped a bomb on me. 

Ron has the highest percentage returns of any stock hacker alumni I’ve seen at 149% but do keep in mind, he’s account was funded by his real estate investments.  You need both real estate and stock hacking to be like Ron Esteban.

Happy Halloween everyone!!

Fingers crossed my costume arrives. I ordered it from Amazon and paid for express shipping. It’s now 9-10 days late. Hopefully, I’ll have pictures to post next week in the badass costume. 

From reading what my friend the infectious disease doctor is saying, we will be walking the neighbourhood with the kids in costume to enjoy the decorated homes. Cherry and I will buy our own candy to give to the kids and hide them around the house Easter egg hunt style. 

I’ll have to figure something that’s healthier as we only let Robin and Bruce eat very little candy so they actually don’t like stuff that’s too sweet as they’re not used to it. So whatever we buy, I have to want to eat it…. Oh boy, I need to get back into the gym more and have my work cut out for me.

In the real estate world, I will be speaking at the Investor Forum hosted by Canadian Real Estate Wealth magazine.

It is my honour to be one of their guest speakers and to share with everyday Canadians the best opportunities in real estate and hopefully, they will indulge me to share about stock hacking… this is the organization that awarded my team Real Estate Agent of the Year to Investors in back to back years 2016 and 2017. 

I will be on an expert panel sharing the when and where and what the best strategies are for 2021 for above market cash flow and returns. 

There is a link in the show notes to join the already 500 Canadians registered for the online conference.

Hello, my fellow wealth hackers!

How is everyone this week?

A quick update from these parts, unfortunately with the rising daily cases of COVID in Ontario and the ever increasing restrictions, we at the Hamilton Basket Brigade will not be able to throw our birthday style party for the kids and the families we are supporting. 

I’ve regretfully had to inform both Superman and Wonder Woman their attendance will not be necessary.

The most impoverished families as identified by both the Hamilton public and catholic school boards however still do need our support hence we are delivering to them gift cards of $100 each per family member. 

It’s not much but it’s what we can do and you better believe Cherry and I will continue to focus on growing our wealth hacking: business, investing, and stock hacking so we may grow the funding of our charity. 

We don’t just volunteer and raise money, for 2020, Cherry and I are the #1 donors and we’ll be looking to take over the #1 donor spot in history very shortly.

🥊🥋Badass: tough, uncompromising, and cuteness!! . One day, teachers, Cherry and I won’t be around to protect my daughter hence she will be taught the tools to protect herself. . In the martial arts worlds, the saying is self defence is proactive first aid. It can be used to prevent injury to self, friends and family. . I’m thinking of adding badassery to my definition of wealth hacker 🤣

A post shared by Erwin Szeto (@erwinszeto) on Oct 6, 2020 at 3:17pm PDT

Shout out to Scott Dillingham and Matt Green for being amazing donors and for making us work for #1.

Practice makes perfect, right? Well no, according to my daughter, she taught us the other night, practice makes progress.

Practice makes perfect describes a finish line but all your wealth hackers know, there is no finish line.  We strive to be 1% better each day or be better than the person we were yesterday, the week or month or year before. 

If you don’t believe me, did you know Tiger Woods did a complete overhaul of his golf swing? After just a few months and winning one in every four tournaments including winning the Masters by 12 strokes, Tiger wasn’t happy and worked with his coach to create a new golf swing. 

That would be the first of a couple times the greatest golfer and one of the greatest athletes of all time would decide his historical dominance of the sport was not enough. He could always improve.

It truly is fascinating to study the super successful. For example, I am asked quite regularly on the benefits of coaching.  To continue with the Tiger Woods example, his first two coaches as a professional golfer are widely consider the #1 and #2 coaches in the sport. 

Don’t worry folks, I’m not offering coaching. I take my work too personally and prefer more control or sometimes lack of control when it comes to my own golf game 😛

How To Cash Flow $400 Per Month With $10,000 to Invest With Joel Arndt

Anyways, this week’s guest is a returning interviewee, Joel Arndt.

When he was on last year, he out of the blue challenged me in my ability to make an investor successful so I had him ask me his questions on the podcast. 

Some time has since passed and I thought it a good time to check in with Joel on his progress.

Full disclosure, Joel now works with Cherry and me in our businesses and like all employees of ours, we teach them to be Wealth Hackers.  We don’t offer pensions but we’ll do our darndest to mentor them to be financially free.

Here is the conversation that came from a simple question when I asked Joel what he would do if he had $150,000 cash to invest.

If you’re interested in real estate investing go to www.infinitywealth.ca or if it’s stock hacking, go to www.stockhackeracademy.ca

Hello my fellow Wealth Hackers!!

Who turned off the heat? It sure feels like summer is over and we’re sort of getting ready to send our kids back to school. 

For us, the start of school was pushed back one week and we’re in no hurry to send our kids back to school thanks to our live-in nanny who has been a lifesaver through the pandemic.

Speaking of back to school, we are back to our publicly available iWIN Networking Meetings to be live streamed via Zoom.

The cost to attend is nominal, the presentations will be world class as always and our guest speaker is exactly the speaker we need for these special times. 

He is a Police Constable, a victim of systemic racism, and at last check he holds 21 investment properties.

He is none other than Constable Jules Mackenzie. 

If you enjoy stories of inspiration like I do then you don’t want to miss it. Saturday morning, Sept 19th.

Here’s the link: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/iwin-monthly-meeting-19-sept-2020-tickets-115917948705

These are special times however with back to school that usually coincides with back to business after a quiet August but these are special times, the August real estate market was on fire!!

Average prices in Hamilton were up 21.2% year over year for August and day on market were down from 29.6 days to 21.9 days per the Realtors Association of Hamilton-Burlington. 

If you like to know what’s going on with your real estate then you don’t want to miss our first publicly available meeting in 2020. 

Did you pick up new hobbies during the pandemic?

Because of government regulations, I defaulted to golf as I was dying to socialize with real people outside of my house.

Now here is how I use golf or any hobby as an experiment on learning and wealth hacking. The experiment is to see how quickly I can improve as a beginner. 

This year is the first year I’ve golfed more than twice in a summer, I believe that qualifies me as a beginner.  Last year I shot a 136 at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club.

Here are some best practices I’ve picked up in other areas of my work/investing I’ve applied to golf:

• I hired a coach. A golf professional who’s coaching both Cherry and I. Like investing, golf is more fun when done with those you enjoy spending time with
• Practice, I practice at least twice per week via play or the driving range or a lesson
• You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. My golf buddies include a couple very successful entrepreneurs, investors, and I’m usually the worst golfer in the group so I usually benefit from the tips from the better golfers
• Tiger Woods: I read his biography and now I’m reading his book on how to golf. I enjoy reading books on ultra successful people and looking for insights into how they were raised plus how they raise their own kids.
• Equipment: I bought my clubs on Boxing Day Sale because I’m frugal and they’re widely considered to be good quality.  As with many things, I have more disposable income compared to my talent and skill.
• Putting mat: I bought a nine foot putting mat to play with in the living room with Cherry and the kids. My putting has improved immensely
• There is no replacement for experience. As I learn how to play the game, I get better.

This past Friday, I played the same course again but only nine holes instead of 18 as it’s under renovation.  Last year I shot 136 over 18 holes, a couple weeks ago I shot 59 over nine holes and this past Friday I played well shooting 52. 

Proof yet again that investing in oneself pays off. 

From my experience, I’ve practiced similar applications to Crossfit and Brazillian Jiu Jitsu and of course my real estate investing and stock hacking, I have coaches, I read, I invest in education, and I spend a lot of time around both real estate and stock investors hence we offer meetups for both subjects. 

Investing in oneself pays off and this week’s guests have invested well into six figures into their education which has kinda worked out into 160 real estate rental units in not a very long time.

They also love this little side hustle that only takes them 15-30 minutes per day that paid for their next vacation around the world. 

That side hustle is what we call Stock Hacking.

If that’s something that interests you, learning how everyday Canadians like Leslie and Jamie from small town Ontario make money from their phones, I’m hosting another free demonstration, a more comprehensive demonstration than the one I showed my kid cousin over Thanksgiving dinner that resulted in him cash flowing $1,000 per week then the link is in the show notes.
