Losing a job or facing an unexpected life shift can feel like the biggest curse—no income, no direction, and no clear path forward. But what if this so-called curse was actually the best thing that ever happened to you?

Have you ever considered that hitting rock bottom might be the push you need to rise higher than ever before?

The truth is, when everything you thought was certain is taken away, you’re forced to look beyond your comfort zone. You start seeing opportunities where before, you only saw routine.

The question is—will you embrace the change or stay stuck in fear? What if the loss of something familiar could lead you to something even greater?

In this episode, StoreIt founder Wayde Elliott joins me to share his journey from smooth sailing to sudden hardships—and how he turned it all around by striking gold in real estate self-storage. We also talk about the importance of being a life-long learner, being your own bank and why it's so important to grow and give intentionally.

Guest Bio

Dr. Wayde Elliott founded StorelT, who began working in self-storage development in 2009, after practicing dentistry for over two decades. His first project was in St. Helens, OR, and involved working directly with the highway department, railroad, and Oregon State’s land division. From this project, Elliott learned a great deal about self-storage, including all of the ins and outs of developing and maintaining storage units.

Once he saw the ROI of his initial project, Elliott knew he created something that filled a need, and he wants to help others do the same! With over $68 million worth of self-storage units developed and sold, rest assured that Elliott knows what he is talking about.

You have big dreams. You know where you want to be. But somehow, the gap between where you are now and where you want to go feels massive. Progress seems slow—sometimes painfully so.

Life throws obstacles in your way, and before you know it, doubt creeps in. Naysayers whisper that you’ll never make it. Maybe you’ve even thought about quitting.

The truth is, most people give up not because they’re incapable but because they don’t have a clear, strategic approach. They expect a straight path, but success is full of twists, turns, and setbacks. The key? Taking the right first step and staying committed even when things don’t go as planned.

So, how do you cut the difference down? What if you could shorten the time between where you are now and the life you dream of?

In this episode, I talk about the important steps to take when it comes to erasing the distance between where you are and where your goals and dreams are. I also comment on the importance of focus and eliminating distractions.

Generational wealth is something many people want. As parents, we fight to build a legacy that future generations can benefit from. We want to take care of our family long after we’re gone.

The problem is, the traditional banking system doesn’t support generational wealth. Banks want to take people’s money and multiply it for themselves, not for their customers.

What if you could create your own family banking system that does all the things banks do but it’s all working in your favor?

Infinite Banking makes this possible.

Instead of having your children borrow money from banks, what if they could borrow money directly from the family business. This doesn’t just provide for their current financial needs, but helps them build wealth in the long run. How do you build a family bank without turning your kids into entitled brats?

How did Hannah Kesler buy a million dollar penthouse using the family bank? In this episode, 2nd generation Infinite Banking coach, speaker and entrepreneur, Hannah Kesler shares how their family leverages the method, and why a family bank beats even the best traditional banks.
