$10+ Million in Annual Revenue – Rod Khleif, Lifetime Cash Flow Podcast
Rod Khleif, Director of Lifetime Cash Flow Podcast, with Annual Revenue of $10M+
Rod Khleif is a multiple business owner and philanthropist who is passionate about entrepreneurship and giving back. As one of the country’s top business, real estate, and peak performance luminaries, Rod has owned over 2,000 homes and apartment buildings, building over 22 businesses in his 40 year career, several which have been worth tens of millions of dollars.
Focus on cash flow. @RodKhleif
Soaring from humble beginnings as a young, impoverished Dutch immigrant to incredible success, Rod’s experience involves both remarkable triumphs and spectacular failures, which he affectionately calls “Seminars”. He explains the mindset required to recover from losing $50 million in the crash of 2008 to the success he enjoys today. Rod can speak to the psychology of success, mindset for taking action, and any business or real estate topic in great depth, contributing firsthand knowledge and skills to the discussion.
Rod also founded the Tiny Hands Foundation, which has benefited more than 75,000 community children in need.

- Spectacular Failures: Seminars
- Due diligence checklist for multi-family unit
Best Advice I Ever Received:
From an old man in Denver that owned lots of free and clear apartments: To buy real estate and let other people pay if off. When free and clear it would equate to “buckets of money”
Best Advice I’d Give To Someone Who Wants To Build A $10m+ Business:
Create a business plan, do a SWOT analysis, learn everything you possibly could about that potential business and barriers to entry. Look for equity investors, execute on the plan and utilize the EOS system from the book Traction to run the business like a well oiled machine.

Best Advice I Ever Received:
Judgement is an emotional reaction, which clouds your thinking, diverts your focus, and steals your energy. Gaining the skill and discipline to release judgements is the single most beneficial behavior to increase your success in business and in life. = What I learned at USM
Best Advice I’d Give To Someone Who Wants To Build A $10m+ Business:
You can’t be an “A Player” and run a 10MM business. At that point you MUST be an A+ Leader, because you will no longer be doing 95% of the task type work, and you will be leading, mentoring, structuring and cultivating a culture where people step up and do their best work
