[Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ## Listen to Episode 23: When people get into real estate, they are often looking out for get-rich-quick schemes and living a life of luxury. What they often don’t realize is that once they get there, they might be left feeling a deep emptiness inside of them. That is what our guest today, Rod Khleif, found out once he had riched the first pinnacle of his career. Today, he’ll share with us the importance of writing down your goals, the things that you want to learn, the things that you want to do, and who you want to help.  Rod Khleif was first inspired by his mom, who acquired real estate properties with the money she got through babysitting, to become a real estate agent investor. He is a passionate real estate investor who has personally owned and managed over 2000 properties. As one of the country’s top real estate, business, and peak performance luminaries, Rod has also built over 23 businesses in his 40-year business career. He acquired over 50 million dollars in properties and lost it all when the market crashed in 2008 and then got back on top. He is the host of the lifetime CashFlow Podcast and Rod Khleif’s Multifamily Bootcamp, where he shares the blueprint for multifamily real estate investing! In this episode, we’ll dive deep into failing our way to success, and the mindset and success strategies to get back on top following a fall. We’ll also talk door knocking, designing your life, and giving back to others. Tune in and find out how to push through your limiting beliefs, get out of the comfort zone and why everything starts from a place of gratitude. *“As human beings, we will overestimate what we can accomplish in a year and massively underestimate what we can do in a decade* - Rod Khleif **Podcast summary:** 03:02 - Rod’s humble story, coming as an immigrant from Holland to live in Denver and being inspired by his mom to become a real estate agent and investor. 05:36 - How he lost over 50 million during the 2008 market crash and the mindset to get back on his feet. 07:52 - The mindset required to 10X your earnings and the key exercise for designing your life and holding yourself accountable.  18:05 - ‘Don’t do it just because your neighbor has it, figure out what you want and why you really want it.’ 22:54 - What Tony Robbins calls ‘the science of achievement versus the art of fulfillment’, Rod’s foundation, the basket brigade and the power of giving back. 27:24 - Overcoming limiting belief systems and using pain as leverage to fuel yourself.  29:45 - Rod’s first income hack: Knocking doors on houses that are on foreclosure. 36:31 - Rod’s biggest income hacker mistake (or seminar as Rod call them): Sticking too long in single-family. 37:43 - What to do if you’re just starting out? Try to add value and help others succeed. **Connect with Rod** [Rod’s Bootcamp](https://www.rodsbootcamp.com/)  [Official Site of Rod Khleif](https://rodkhleif.com/) [Multifamily Property Toolbook](https://rodkhleif.com/get-the-same-checklist-we-use-to-close-our-multifamily-deals/) [Multifamily Real Estate Investing - Rod Khleif](https://www.facebook.com/groups/multifamilyrealestateinvesting/) [Lifetime Cashflow Podcast](https://rodkhleif.com/lifetime-cashflow-podcast/) Want to learn more?
