Stefan started investing at 22. He had no cash, no credit, and most importantly, no credibility of any kind when he started.

A deal can be anything from a traditional business to patented gadgets. However, Money People Deal will focus on real estate as the deal, that is the most valuable part of the business,  “A good deal can be like a magnet quickly attracting the peop

How do we know when a boy becomes a man in this modern society? Without the rites of passage from our ancestors and the struggles of past generations, many of our young children get stuck in the victim mentality and never fully develop into grown men. Age is just a number and it doesn’t reflect your true experience or manhood in this world. Nevertheless, when a boy decides to take ownership of his actions and stops putting the blame on others, this is when he becomes a man... In this chapter of Hard Times Create Strong Men, titled Attack Of The Man-boys, Stefan digs under the hood of one of the biggest missing ingredients in today’s families: ownership. Through the destruction of the family over the last seventy years, mankind has spawned a zombie swarm of man-boys who are unable to look after themselves, let alone raise a family. Learn why to be a self-made man is not about money, but about the unconquerable soul of man. Go to stefanaarnio.com/hardtimesbundle to get a limited time offer of the Hard Times Cre

What does it take to make that million dollars of ambition a reality?  At the age of fifteen, Aarnio had a youthful dream to be had a rockstar while watching his parents work on traditional jobs. They told him to enter college and to have a degree in economics or become a schoolteacher, but that did not appeal to him.  “Imagine the challenge for a young person today, with the lure of the entrepreneurial lifestyle, and reading stories of highly successful millennials in the tech sector and other industries. […] It makes more sense to young people to pursue fame and fortune through music, acting, sports, or entrepreneurship than it does to “go to school and get a good job. Children are smart. “ Learn how Stefan Aarnio went from selling luxury hotel rooms over the telephone in the middle of the night, with a major in English and a minor in music, to know every rule of the game, and winning it.

In order to know to win any game, you must first know all the rules. If you don’t know the rules, it is practically impossible to win the game. In this first chapter of Money, People, Deal, Stefan shares the four fastest ways to profit in the real estate industry. In this chapter, you will discover why speed has won all battles throughout history: from the Roman Empire to Lawrence of Arabia’s tactics in the pre-Second-World-War. Speed and distance are the most powerful strategies on the business battlefield nowadays. The four fastest ways to profit, according to Aarnio are: Flipping real estate and joint ventures as limitless resources and the two fastest because of the abundance of real estate, local marketing/branding for other people and public speaking. “At any crossroads in life, there are always two paths: the common road and the road less traveled.

Starting out as an underdog in the music industry with zero connections, Garrain Jones used MySpace to message producers. A chance meeting with Ludacris led to a recording contract, and opportunities to produce for stars like Chris Brown and 2 Chainz. The business deals Garrain made excluded him from the financial rewards of much of his work. Before long he was $200K in debt with nowhere to turn. Burnt out and discouraged, he quit the music industry and became homeless and attempted suicide as his life spiraled out of control. After committing to a massive overhaul of his lifestyle, Garrain spent four years building himself back up, defying the odds of failure that were against him. Now a successful millionaire, he speaks and writes on how to undergo transformational life changes, and is an inspiration to those who feel like they have no options left. He was featured on Impact Theory hosted by Quest Nutrition co-founder Tom Bilyeu, a show that explores the mindsets of the world’s highest achievers to learn t

Good men are not nice men. A good man is the one who gets the job done, and sometimes this may require the use of strength and power. This is why a “nice man” can never be a leader, because it is a form of weakness. Men and women are always on the lookout for strong men to lead them. Women can do it, but they become masculine in the process. To lead the tribe is a masculine trait. In this chapter of Hard Times Create Strong Men, Stefan discusses the difference between what being a “good man” and a “nice man” is. The systems of power in our society may have changed over time and the need for strong men has decreased. However, the fact that physical power is no longer needed, does not mean that we don’t need our strong men in modern-day society.

Khang Le was born in Vietnam and came to America at the age of 9. He dropped out of High School at 17 and met his wife at the age of 18. He moved in with her to live in a little shack behind a Mobil home park for 5 years. He sacrifices his teens and 20's to work on his future instead of partying and having fun. He worked at a job making $8.50/hrs and was fortunate enough to buy over a small hair extension kiosk in the mall at the age of 20. Now, he's working 2 jobs, from the age of 20-27. He bought his first house at the age of 23 and got into real estate at the age of 27, without knowing anything about the real estate industry. Without any construction background, NO connections, NO Experience, NO Real Estate Vocab, NOTHING, he started out as a fix and flipper. It took him 6 months of hard work before he did his very first deal, making himself 50K NET in the process. After about 3 years of flipping, he had gotten to the point where he was pretty much tabbed out to buy any more. He was working 15-16 hours a d

What does it mean to be a man? A man’s purpose is his work and any man that shies away from work or doesn’t take his work seriously is… unmanly. Making the leap from good to great comes down to having a mission and being driven enough to make it happen. Achieving your labor of love may not be possible under your current circumstances, but with enough hard work and perseverance, anything is possible... “It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.” Marcus Aurelius, Meditations There is no shame in taking a day job, especially if that work takes closer to your passion. Find something that you can never take a break from, and you will have found your path to power. Give away your TV and avoid the traps of comfort and poverty! Only when your desire to thrive is as strong as your desire to breathe, will you become successful.

Leonard Kim is a marketer who wins a lot of awards despite being a self-described expert at failing. But failing can’t be the only thing he is good at since book publishers like McGraw-Hill Business, companies like Cisco Systems, Keck Medicine of USC and Salesforce, universities like USC, UCI, Cal Poly Pomona and ArtCenter College of Design, large media publications like Forbes, CMO, Fast Company, Fortune, Adweek, Entrepreneur, and hundreds of others, and more than 500,000 followers think otherwise. Leonard’s story began in 2010. He stopped paying his electricity bill for six months, had to shower in the dark, then was served an eviction notice. He thought he would spend the rest of his days living under a bridge until he called his mother who then called his grandmother, about how Leonard was about to be homeless. Surprisingly his grandmother took him back in (even though she originally disowned him when he was 16). According to his TEDx Talk, Why You Should Let Your Fears Guide You (recognized as a top TED

What is wrong with masculinity in modern-day society? A generation of snowflakes raised by television and a lack of purpose in a world devoid of hardships has driven our culture meaningless and vicious. The lack of mentors and father figures has brought up men that are addicted to pornography and video games, and that lack the virtues of the great American heroes that led us through two World Wars and the Great Depression. The warrior spirit has succumbed to hedonism and become distracted away from the pursuit of his dreams. Thankfully, there is still a chance to do something about 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! Tune in each week to listen t

After 16 years of education and graduating with an engineering degree in hand, I quickly realized I wanted more than 40 years in Corporate America. After getting into day trading and watching the volatility in the market take out many traders, I found myself growing a passion for real estate investing. Specifically investing in flips and rentals, but the focus has grown to investing in disinvested communities and providing quality housing options for the surrounding communities. As of April 2017, my company has embarked on its first revitalization project which is a $3.8M, 14 townhome development on a block of property I have owned since 2013 near downtown Houston.
