Mar Lou is a father of three wonderful boys and a husband to a supportive wife. Mar Lou joined the Blackcard community 2 years ago as a Bronze Student. He was then coached by Sean Lacap and now being coached by Jason Greschuk as a Platinum Student.

Mar Lou is a whale for wholesale deals. He has the talent and perseverance to get things done accordingly. He is humble and knowledgeable, being a young father he took advantage of it to relate with the sellers, gaining their utmost trust. Now he is teaching and exposing his eldest son on what real estate really is and the knowledge and value they can gain from it.

Of course all success stories have a rather unpalatable past. Before he began this journey, Mar Lou had spent his saved up money to buy his own property and use it as a rental after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad. Being a landlord was not easy and simply not a pleasant experience for him. He was losing more-than gaining from it. That’s when he told himself he had to take a different route.

“and then I heard about Stefan Aarnio, curiosity got the best of me, I searched who he was and now I am here!”

He now has almost a dozen doors of rental properties, gaining him almost a million in equity in such a short amount of time. In addition he also built a multi six figure wholesaling business.

Mar Lou believes that not limiting the knowledge you’re willing to share with people to achieve such success in life would be an honour to look forward to.

It is better to sell one $1,000 hot dog than to sell one thousand $1 hot dogs. That’s why Stefan Aarnio chose to get into real estate. Selling one hot dog for $1,000 makes so much more profit, requires less effort, and has less customers and overhead than a high-volume business.

In this chapter of Money, People, Deal, you’ll learn all about the three business models: the horizontal, the vertical, and the diagonal. You have no idea where thinking big could take you, so there is nothing wrong with asking for more dollars for a single hot dog. Compare a $1 hot dog to a $1,000 hot dog, which cart would you rather own?

“I got into real estate because in music I was selling hundreds of $1 “hot dogs,” whereas in real estate, I could sell a few $1,000 “hot dogs” and make a much better living.”

After the mind shifting lessons he received from his jungle tour guide, Stefan Aarnio was ready to take action. He had set himself an ambitious 100 deals goal for the next year, and he would need to raise from three to five million dollars, all cash, no banks. Up to this point he had shyly asked people for money, now he had to raise millions of dollars on a cocktail napkin.

If you are going to get rich, you have to get rich by using someone else’s money. In this episode you’ll learn why becoming a capitalist is so important in the business world, and why a simple strategy repeated 100 times is much better than a single complex strategy. Raising capital is the main skill of entrepreneurs, it is not the time to be shy! 

“If you want to survive in the real world as an entrepreneur, you must learn to become a capitalist because raising capital is the #1 skill of the entrepreneur.”

What does it take to become a self-made millionaire?

What are the steps you have to take today to achieve this dream?

Is it possible for you?

Many have wondered, few have succeeded...

Self Made: Confessions of a Twenty Something Self Made Millionaire follows the real life story of Stefan Aarnio (award winning real estate investor and entrepreneur) through the struggle of starting out with zero cash, zero credit and zero experience in his pursuit of financial freedom.

You want to do your work, she wants to go to LA or whatever. She, she's saying, Hey, let's have family time. You're saying, Hey, let's have work time. And when a man puts his purpose first, his work first, that usually makes him attractive to women because women want a man on purpose.

The first chapter in the book is a man's purpose. I get guys who email me or message me cause they read hard times and they go, Oh I got problems with my woman, I can't get a girlfriend, I can't get sex or some sort of nonsense.

Guys who have problems with women, it's usually because they're off purpose. Their purpose, their work, their mission, they're totally off. Maybe they are watching too much porn or video games. They're way off in the weeds. They're not on their purpose because when men are living their purpose, like when you show up to work here and you got this empire here, you're probably sexy to women. Women probably like that. They're like, oh hey, let's go to LA or and you're like, no, I'm working. I got this thing to do. And that's, that's what the masculine and feminine are struggling with right there. You want to do your work, she wants to go shopping. She's saying, hey let's have family time. You're saying, hey, let's have work time. And when a man puts his purpose first, his work first, that usually makes him more attractive to women because women want a man on purpose.

Women don't want a man that's off purpose. That's why porno or video games isn't good for men. They are all distractions from a man's purpose.

For this chapter of Hard Times Create Strong Men, Stefan Aarnio has eight amazing rules to live your own purpose and give women what they really want. Viktor Frankl says that “life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose”.

Contrary to the new popular narratives, gender homogenization is unfavorable with men and women when it comes to two things: sex and attractions. In spite of your woman’s requests, you better stick to your purpose, and that must be your work. Women are not liars, however, they don’t say what they really want. Your woman wants to see the “killer” in you, she wants to see you lead your tribe, and usually, the alpha male leader must make life-and-death decisions. That’s what she wants to see in you. From power, war, and seduction to mastery on their men, women want to exchange their power, sexual and reproductive power in exchange for real power in the real world. 

“Women want the decision of the man to protect her so that she can relax into the feminine. She does not want to be an equal-voting-decision-making partner as our society would now suggest."

Hard times create strong men, and weak men create hard times. It is the inevitable cycle of life where great empires are built and destroyed. Unfortunately, millennials are currently living in the era of weak men that drown in ephemeral pleasure and limited desires. However, strength and greatness are determined by one’s self, and so this is the best time to seize everything you have ever wanted!

My ego was in control. It made me a millionaire but it also could not take me to the next level. It capped me where I was. After 43 days in the jungle, I had ego death, found God and completely changed my life. Your ego is not your amigo.

We're spirits with bodies and whatever religion you are in, you have a soul and you have a body and the soul runs the body. There's a source of energy that's central to the universe. Infinite intelligence, God, the source, whatever you want to call it. Christian religion in this part of the world has made America prosperous.

Between the top of the market and the bottom of the market is “no man’s land”, also known as the middle of the market. Being in the middle represents a huge threat, because this is where recessions destroy businesses and entrepreneurs. There is no loyalty in the middle market, it is a savage place to be.

In this chapter of Money, People, Deal, you will learn about the importance of avoiding belonging to the middle market. If you play in the middle you have a high risk of being wiped out by a recession. Play smart, stay focused on the top or the bottom, and make your customers either want you or need you. 

“There is loyalty at the top, as long as you are the best. There is loyalty at the bottom, as long as you are the cheapest.”

Lead generation can become very easily one of the biggest expenses for any business out there. It costs nearly seven times more dollars and effort to attract a new client than it does to sell to a pre-existing client. But the question to ask is: Why do most businesses, investors, and entrepreneurs focus mostly on trying to find new business than build on their pre-existing client base?

In this chapter of Money, People, Deal Stefan Aarnio shares with us a one-of-a-kind story of how, without planning it, he began to adopt the partners-for-life strategy that he learned from JT Foxx. Discover the Seth model and the different variations of it and take action! After this Money, People, Deal chapter you will have clarity of the people you know who could potentially invest with you.

“In life, it’s not what you know; it’s who you know that makes the differ- ence. It is always the biggest partner’s responsibility to attract the new largest partner to the group because people with money know people with money.”

We can assure you, women do not want the movie What Women Want. Plus, if a man types “what women want” into Google, he gets about 5,900,000,000 results. Yes, my dear friends, 5.9 billion results. 

Some people claim that all that women want is money, some others say that all they want is a family, children, or love. But what do women really want? As complicated as the topic seems, womens’ biggest desire is simple, but powerful. Listen to this chapter of Hard Times and discover why to make a woman happy, one must give her a real and strong man. Attraction, polarity and sexual excitement lie in the denial of what a woman wants. This may sound unfair and cruel, but this is life and biology. Ready to discover that, in many ways, we are no better than the apes? Here’s what women really want, and how they want it. 

Hard times create strong men, and weak men create hard times. It is the inevitable cycle of life where great empires are built and destroyed. Unfortunately, millennials are currently living in the era of weak men that drown in ephemeral pleasure and limited desires. However, strength and greatness are determined by one’s self, and so this is the best time to seize everything you have ever wanted!

As a marvelous student, Stefan decided to take out a mortgage to buy a cash-flowing investment in real estate and ran into a big surprise when the banker realized he was self-employed:

What does it take to become a self-made millionaire?

 What are the steps you have to take today to achieve this dream?

 Is it possible for you?

Many have wondered, few have succeeded...

Self Made: Confessions of a Twenty Something Self Made Millionaire follows the real life story of Stefan Aarnio (award winning real estate investor and entrepreneur) through the struggle of starting out with zero cash, zero credit and zero experience in his pursuit of financial freedom.

Chapter five of the Money People Deal starts with a definition everybody should have as their mantra: risk. All of the definitions involve some form of loss or suffering, but they all have an element of variability, probability, or chance. After that, Aarnio shares his own definition of risk, as an inventory of elements that are under your control compared with an inventory of elements that are out of your control. 

Stefan’s “risk” definition has two primary distinctions that the average definition does not: 

It assesses your degree of control in a situation, and assesses your emotions and how you feel about your level of control, eliminating the words “probability” and “chance” from his definition. 

“In my world, actions and options are more important than probability. No matter how bad a scenario gets, there are always actions to be performed and options that can be explored. Probability and chance come from past data, and may or may not apply to the present or the future.”

For centuries, entrepreneurs have taken resources from different sources and have assembled them to create higher value. Great entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Henry Ford and Donald Trump have all understood very clearly how to assemble Money, People and Deals together. The intellectual value that these men brought to their ventures was so great that they built their businesses by using none of their own money; this is the skill of the entrepreneur and the fastest way to wealth.

What does it mean to be a man? Specifically, to turn from a boy who lives with his mother, in the world of women, the world of the feminine of fun, of games, of play, and then transition into the masculine world with the men, responsibility, and work?

The Spartans were some of the strongest, most revered warriors of all time. Popularized in movies like 300, the men of Sparta never surrendered and they were hard and rigid, but it was this same rigidity that prevented them from growing into an empire like the Romans. Eventually, the Spartans’ rigidity led them into their demise.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one most adaptable to change.”

Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species

In this chapter of Hard Times Create Strong Men, Stefan analyses the fighting mentality of armies like the Spartans of Ancient Greece and the Germans in WWII, who eventually lost due to their inability to bend instead of breaking. In battle and in life, it’s much better to be resourceful, and flexible in your thinking than to be rigid and one dimensional. In the Art of War, the perfect warrior wins the fight without violence. 

Hard times create strong men, and weak men create hard times. It is the inevitable cycle of life where great empires are built and destroyed. Unfortunately, millennials are currently living in the era of weak men that drown in ephemeral pleasure and limited desires. However, strength and greatness are determined by one’s self, and so this is the best time to seize everything you have ever wanted!

In past episodes, we have talked about overnight success, and most importantly, that it doesn’t exist. Real success comes with effort and long hours of consistency, passion, and desire to achieve freedom and take control of your life. Our today’s guest knows perfectly what we mean: Dedric Polite is an entrepreneur and a 10-year real estate investor that started in this industry with a house hack. Stay with us in this Respect the Grind episode as Dedric tells us why the BRRRR Method is his favorite strategy to win in this game.

Years ago, young Dedric Polite purchased a triplex, lived in one unit and rented out the rest: by doing that, the other two rents paid his expenses and the property even appreciated significantly. Up until today, this property still generates a lot of cash flow to Polite. Today, he is the co-founder of Be Polite Properties, a company that owns and operates income-producing single-family, multi-family and commercial real estate. They focus on acquiring well-located properties around Boston, MA, North and South Carolina, and other metropolitan areas. 

Walk with us in this new episode as we learn from Polite how to find potential property sellers, drive around your neighborhood and look for properties that are distressed. Plus, other amazing strategies to let owners know you are interested to find their properties and the power phone calls, letters and postcards. It’s never too late to go back to the classics, right? Discover how avoiding distractions and choosing knowledge will give you more satisfaction than procrastinating your life. 

Join Stefan Aarnio in this confession, where he shares meeting new people actually related to his own new passion (real estate), how he assisted to seminars, read real-estate material and books with the illusion of meeting the right person or finding the right opportunity.

“We would meet in basements around the city like resistance fighters fighting a common foe—our own fear, weaknesses, and ignorance. We met secretly to feel like we belonged to something special, perhaps an elite club, but in truth, we met secretly to connect with like-minded individuals and avoid the ridicule of our friends and families.”

By putting in action the wealth principle of “giving” instead of “taking”, Aarnio decided to push his theory to the limit and force himself to act in the opposite direction of his poverty mind. Learn how trying the opposite is one of the quickest ways to turn failure into success.

In every war, the winner gets to write history, and cleaning up the history books is a way to strike first as a victorious empire. Nazi Germany killed millions of people in WWII, but since Germany lost the war, in history books they are demons to say the least. America committed genocide with the American Indians and yet it is romanticized by pop culture in the cowboy and western genres. Why strike back when you can strike first? 

When we look at dystopian novels that were written decades ago, it is alarming to notice the similarities they share with our modern world.

Men are wired to solve problems To men, they are a hammer, and every problem is a nail that must be whacked down. Women just want to talk about the nail and how they feel about it; men want to whack the nail. We don’t feel the need to constantly express our emotions or gossip with our fellow mates, we can watch a game of football or fix up a classic car in the garage without uttering a single word.

Video games do not serve a man’s purpose, and in that way, they are unmanly.

Join us in this new Respect The Grind Episode and discover why Rod Khleif believes success depends from 80 to 90% in your mindset, and the other 10% relates to external factors. 

Khleif was born in Holland and migrated to the US when he was only 6 years old, to live with his mother and brother. Like most migrants, they didn’t have much, but Rod’s mom was able to buy a house and that was the time when Rod’s real estate curiosity was born. After getting his broker license, Rod managed to earn more than 17 million USD, and suddenly lose it all during the 2008 market crash. From great success to spectacular failures, Rod has built over 23 businesses in his 40 business career and he is convinced that if you write your goals down, it can be a lot easier for you to commit to them.

In this second part of The close 7 Level  Selling, Aarnio presents to us the Anatomy of a Sale in a straight line, and he lets us know that ‘a good sale is straight from open to close, offering no room to get off track’.

Learn the difference between selling and negotiating (even when they are closely related to each other) and a well-structured sale vs. A badly structured sale. Inside any good structure, there are extremely limited possibilities, and without a doubt, inside a bad structure, there are too many possibilities.

Natural salespeople, all have two things in common: they 1) follow a natural framework for their sales presentation and 2) they all sound amazing. A great salesperson is a blend of mechanics and delivery which creates both a logical and emotional argument for the sale.

The Close provides a fresh new perspective on how to open the sale, present the value and close the sale using proven methods that have worked in all industries.

Are you afraid of owning who you are, unapologetically? Is there something in your past that’s keeping you from stepping into your power? If this resonates with you, then you are not alone. Our today’s guest is author and lifestyle entrepreneur Ashley Hannawacker, maybe the best-looking person to ever come to this show, but she is much more than a pretty face and she’s here to show us why. Ashley Hann is here to help you be yourself, stop telling yourself bullshit lies and invest in your foundation.

Ashley Hann is the author of Magnetic Confidence, a lifestyle entrepreneur and a personal branding expert. She suffered some serious trauma during her early years that kept her from embracing herself and expressing her true craft. She hid behind a brand for years but struggled to reflect her personal brand out to the world. This unclear message got people thinking of Ashley as a fitness coach (even her close friends!), and it wasn’t until Gary Vee stepped in to work his magic on her that she grabbed the courage to become a personal brand and make sure everybody knows what she’s all about.

In this episode, we’ll take a close look at being a digital nomad, living the freedom lifestyle and working with a laptop from anywhere around the world. We’ll also deep dive into why by being your true self, you will become polarizing and how to design your business around your life. Tune in and learn why it’s time to get super clear on your vision and your values and stop people-pleasing if you want to take charge of your life.

Making a million dollars of ambition a reality takes guts, determination, an exercised risk threshold, and a Self-Made spirit. If Aarnio didn’t have those, real estate would’ve never become his muse, his lover, his focus, and his reason to be. 

Just as fast as he learned the music language and thanks to determination, he suddenly became a financial preacher to anyone and everyone who would or would not listen. 

Soon, he got enthusiastic to tell his father everything he was learning for this new passion, and the answer was: ‘Real estate is a fad, you know music, stick to music. This is just your flavor of the week. You will never buy a property!’ 

Some of the self-made lessons you will learn in this Confession are:  

People who didn’t achieve their dreams might try to kill yours, so find people who are chasing the same dream and form a spiritual family. You can always learn new skills to bring new words and a new language to your life, and last but not least, don’t forget to save a portion of your cash each month for further education, school is never finished for the professional.

What’s up with all the excuses you keep making up for yourself? If you are reading this, you are part of the privileged group with access to the internet in this world, yet you still find the time to complain. If this sounds like you, it’s time to step back and let our podcast guest Andy Dane show you the way. No matter where the world put you there is always something you can do about it, but remember, you are going to have to hustle to get where you want.

Andy Dane, the author of One Hundred Doors and real estate titan based out of California, has investments in Florida, Texas, Ohio, Tennessee, and Cali. Andy was born into a poor family and he has been working since the age of 12, a real hustler. Starting out as a bartender, he showed up 20 days in a row until he got a job as a waiter in a fine-dining restaurant. Within a year he was managing the place and he was also a successful sommelier. The wine lifestyle eventually burned him out and that is when he transitioned into a mindful, grounded person through the power of ancient medicine like Yoga, oils, and crystals. Today, he brings wisdom into his life and business decisions and teaches others how to unlock their own success mindset.

In this episode, we’ll learn why no one stays in the flip game for long and how you can wholesale paper and earn just as much as flipping without the excruciating effort. Plus, Andy shares with us the buy and hold principle, why syndication is the name of the game and the emotional drain that comes out of coaching. If you think Yoga and mindfulness are for ‘pussies’, then you better think again, because it may be the thing that stops you from unlocking your power.

Let’s be honest, sometimes we get confused by words and we believe they mean the same thing. Well, guess what? This chapter gives us all the answers we have been looking for when it comes to thinking that cash and credit are the same, or that money and wealth are the same. 

The biggest distinction between wealth and money lies in the units of measurement. Wealth is measured in time, and money is measured in dollars. With easy to understand examples, Stefan shows us that living paycheck to paycheck (doesn’t matter how much the paycheck is), does not imply you are going to be wealthy for the rest of your life. But if you owned a large real estate portfolio instead, that can provide you more passive income than you need to live.

Can you survive forever without working again living off your paycheck? Wealth is measured in time; money is measured in dollars.

If you are about to enter the real estate business, you better be aware of some things: nothing in life comes easy, not even flipping houses. You better start looking for the perfect real estate model for you, just like our today’s guest: Chris Grenzig got started in the real estate game the day he entered a house flipping course and not far from that day he realized he could make a lot of money out of a single property. Tune this episode and see how Chris went from being the Assistant Men’s Soccer Coach to become the Asset Manager of an Investment Company with over 3,100 units and more than $195 million in assets acquired. 

Chris Grenzig grew up in Long Island and moved to Brooklyn 2 years ago to get serious on the grind. After discovering the flipping model, Grenzig realized this was not the ideal real estate model for him. Later on, he found out about syndication and this suited his necessities in the perfect way. This guy knows there are only two ways to scale in real estate: whether you start making more deals, or you start making bigger deals. Finding the ideal real estate model may not be easy, but once you find something that was made for you, it all starts to make sense. According to Chris, all deals come from three sources: networking, marketing and negotiating. Without one of these, closing deals will be more difficult, that’s why Chris goes classic on doing phone calls as his primary strategy. 

In this episode, we will learn how elemental phone calls are not only to talk about business, but to build strong relationships with clients; why Chris spends literally hours a week nurturing his relationships through the phone, the importance of managing properties and the not so sweet parts of real estate.

Listen to this episode as you invest in your professional and personal development and learn to Respect the Grind.

Why do so many smart, educated “A” students with high-priced aducations struggle to make a living while total morons can win big profits in real estate? Stefan Aarnio thinks real estate is one of the few industries where investors or owners can be absolute morons and still win. The answer to the question has to do more with the industry and less with the individual and his traits. 

In this chapter of Money, People, Deal, you will learn about the six natural profit centers of real estate. While other industries can only profit through a single center, in real estate there are six different ways in which you can make money come your way. Get inspired and ready to take action, who knows? Maybe you’ll hit the jackpot on your next deal.

When hard times come to us, we must defend what is ours truly and do not let anyone take it away from us. We are living through a time that is hard for men to stay strong. That is why today’s guest speaks and writes about a topic we are not used to seeing anywhere these days: masculine philosophy and spirituality. Jack Donovan helps other men create an environment for men only, to make their own lives better through spirituality, without feeling vulnerable. As we end this upside-down year, this guy will share with us why women are not supposed to define masculinity, and males are not supposed to define femininity. 

Jack Donovan was raised in Pennsylvania and studied fine arts in New York. Over the past years, he has written amazing books like Becoming a Barbarian, and A More Complete Beast, his most recent work. His foundational book, The Way of Men has sold more than 100,000 copies and has been translated to French, German, Portuguese, Spanish and Polish. Donovan also founded Brutal Company, an online shop that specializes in selling shirts with pagan artwork. He speaks at events, promotes and discusses masculinity and the challenges men have to face in the 21st Century. Jack created his own meaning in life, and he has taken advantage of it through the hard times we are currently living.

In this episode of Respect The Grind, we chat with Jack Donovan about the infiltration of females in organizations that used to be for men only, and the importance of men getting together and talking about masculinity. Meet this badass and discover why boys should be separated from girls during education and how to make biological differences disappear. It doesn’t matter how straightforward, politically incorrect a speech is, if it’s true and it’s changing the world, we must listen to it. If you are looking for a man to worship as a strong and powerful role model in your life, this episode is for you.

Finding motivation within ourselves is sometimes a bit difficult, however, it is just a matter of time for us to realize motivation can’t be anywhere but inside ourselves. Our today’s guest grew up watching the University of Georgia football games with his family and very soon decided how he wanted to achieve all his dreams. Walk with us as we discover how Candler Cook came up with the greatest tool kit to overcome obstacles in life, and the perfect recipe to achieve goals: intrinsic motivation, making concrete steps, holding yourself accountable and finally, hitting your end goal. 

Candler Cook grew up as a football player and he always dreamed of becoming part of his favorite football team. One of his biggest struggles as he began to get closer to that goal was not being strong enough, fast enough and heavy enough to achieve first division. The result of that: Eat up to 15K calories every day just to gain weight and achieve the goal of this life. Cook is the living proof that finding something that excites that much, is enough to keep working towards until the end. Believe Cook when he tells you, efforts will slowly show up and the view will clear up eventually. 

In this episode, we will learn how Cook went from being an underdog to being a bulldog, and writing a book about it; the correct way to look at goals to achieve them, and why ‘not having time’ is the most stupid and lamest excuse you can say to not get things done. We know for a fact that no one can be really motivated about everything, still, every human on this planet has at least two or three things that you are really, really excited about.
