Mike Koenigs is an unemployable serial entrepreneur with a high-school education whose obsession with taking apart gadgets to figure out their inner workings started as soon as he could crawl. He quickly learned he has the attention span of a bag of gnats on amphetamines. His curiosity in tech, psychology, entertainment, storytelling, entrepreneurship, marketing, and spirit has taken him to Uganda where he witnessed a woman dying of AIDS in a mud hut to the great pyramid in Egypt where he chanted in the king’s sarcophagus with Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer. He has played the didgeridoo in an IMAX movie, produced a feature film, started and sold five businesses from scratch, survived stage 3A colorectal cancer, and created a video game that shipped with six million boxes of General Mills cereal.  He believes entrepreneurship is an international language of peace, opportunity, freedom, and abundance.  Mike lives in San Diego, California on the beautiful beach of La Jolla Shores with his wife of 20 years, 18-year-old son, who is on his way to CU Boulder, and Lola, their sweet fuzzy kitty.  @MikeKoenigs Everywhere

Michael Koenigs - Tips on Surviving and Thriving from a Serial Entrepreneur

Many of us reach a point in our lives where we aren’t happy, even despite making money. We may have financial power, but no time for ourselves and our families. How can we create more opportunities for ourselves that don’t make us slaves to our work? What are the three levels of income generation? What are the steps we can take to get paid for “being”? In this episode, Michael Koenigs talks about financial freedom and the how to reach the highest level of income generation.   Knowing isn't enough. Doing isn't enough. At some point, you get paid for being. -Michael Koenigs  Things We Learned From This Episode The chaos around us impacts our business  (10:30-13:00) The biggest enemy of productivity and growth is the noise around us. We have to eliminate the chaos in our heads in order to get things done. Chaos can come in many forms, including stress, comparing ourselves with others, family issues, etc. We have to understand that creating order in our lives comes first. Without it, we’ll always run at half capacity.   Opportunities come when we’re ready for them (13:21-15:28) We can’t create opportunities for ourselves when we don’t have the necessary skills, or when we aren’t in the right place. When we work for people who don’t appreciate us or fail to spend enough time on our personal growth, there’s no room for greater opportunities. One of the best ways to attract success is to think about the conditions under which we’re most likely to thrive and be appreciated.   The more we ask, the more we receive  (28:00-30:20)How much we ask sometimes limits our capacity for receiving more. Many of us fear of upping our rates, not being aware of how much value we bring to the table. There are many clients out there who find value in what we offer. If we don’t at least try to negotiate our rates, we’ll never receive more.   There are three levels on which we get paid. Anyone who gets paid by the hour is a “doer”. The next level is getting paid by “expertise”. Expertise has a ceiling as well, as there’s only so much value it can bring. The highest level is getting paid by “being”. A good example of this level are athletes who manage to make an income even after retiring— people who use their influence and brand to generate income just because of who they are as a person. In the online environment, influencers are a good example of being paid by "being".   Guest Bio Michael Koenigs’ passion and obsession as Chief Disruptasaurus of You Everywhere Now is helping business owners get attention, get found, seen, heard, watched &amp; read on any device, anytime, anywhere &amp; on demand so that they can start and grow profitable businesses, become bestselling authors, highly-paid coaches, consultants and advisors, in-demand speakers and information marketers.
