Episode 17: Developing the Right Mindset for Success, with David Osborn
David Osborn is a self-made multi-millionaire, serial entrepreneur, and author of New York Times bestseller Wealth Can’t Wait and Miracle Morning Millionaires. He has become a passionate educator, sharing with candor his journey to financial freedom and the well-cultivated methodologies that helped him get there. Shortly after entering Corporate America, David quit his job and sold all his belongings, embarking on a two-year hitchhike around the world. He returned home jobless and penniless, but with a hunger for success. He channeled his motivation into the world of real estate, yielding phenomenal results. Today, David has built one of the top real estate brokerages in the world with more than 5,000 agents and annual sales volume exceeding $12 billion per year. He has also founded over 50 companies with at least 25 that are ongoing profitable concerns. David’s continued success allows him freedom to pour time into his priorities: being the best father and husband to his wonderful family, giving back to others, and teaching people how to achieve success so they, too, can live a life of abundance.
