Meet Matt Love

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Matt Love. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Matt, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?

naivety. I refused to let what others thought of me dictate what I did for myself… but only after a certain age. for years I did what I was ‘supposed’ to do, go to college, get a degree, get a good job… blah blah blah. I think at some point we have to lift our head up and ask.. ‘if I keep going in this direction, and I get what I THINK I want, what does it look like?’. I realized that the path of architecture was NOT what I wanted to do with my life only after I graduated with a bachelors and masters. The profession let me down. so I could sulk and live a life of excuses, or pivot. I chose to pivot. I read the book “The Fountainhead’ by Ayn Rand, and the thesis is man’s ego and ability to follow what they think is right is the sole driver of human progress. I knew it was up to me to reach true fulfillment. SO I pivoted. I had NO idea where I was going to end up, the only thing I did know was, where I was, was not good enough. So, I believe we need to be directionally accurate in our endevors, even when we have NO IDEA where we’ll end up. the destination will change, it will look differently the further you follow the correct direction. it starts with how I talk to myself. that’s it. its all inside, and the more I let outside influence choose my direction the less true i’ll be to myself.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I help people get out of their own way and invest in themselves. After learning how to pivot in my own career I realized that what I do with my money will drastically help or hurt my ability to take action. I was doing what was popular, funding retirement accounts, saving in a bank, and trying to pay cash for cars. it was all wrong. everyone else was getting paid except me. when I fixed my first problem, which everyoneshould learn how to fix first, my income, I realized I could have mch more impact in this world… instead of ‘waiting’ to age 65 to retire… I could create cash flow in my life to cover my expenses and not have to work for money, but work for purpose instead… which ironically, can create massive income in its own right! We do weekly webinars that are free where we teach people how to control their money so they have liquidity and use long before retirement age… all while taking care of a family. I help people design cash flow, so i’m still an architect, just use a different medium.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

I think being naive is crucial. I dont need to know the rules of success, I just need to get in the right room and ask better questions. surrounding myself with others who I want to be like will never get old. I want to walk in curious and ready to absorb info like a sponge. the more education on certain topics I think paralyze us because we dont know how to take action.
Curiosity is unbelievable when used correctly. I dont mean sit in a class room and ask questions, I mean getting around people who have done what you want to do and asking them HOW they got there, WHY are they doing it, What satiscaction do they get out of their journey. everyone walking around has the same favorite topic; themselves. Be curious and you’ll be amazed what successful people are willing to share if you just ask.
stubborn; I think in order to be successful you have to be stubborn. the hard path is the one worth choosing, it builds character and gives you experience. and experience is what you get when you dont get what you want. struggle makes stronger better people. you have to be stubborn in your beliefs because you will hear NO 10X more times then you’ll hear yes. Keep goin.

Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?

The Fountainhead – by ayn rand. its about an architect who stuck to his belief on how buildings should look and be experienced. he didnt follow mainstream of the tiems, he didnt look back and duplicate success from older periods, instead he faced relentless criticism in a pursuit of his own desire. its a wonderful book which outlines the different types of people we see in society, professional and political, where true inspiration comes from and exposes the fals narrative of altruistic motives for self righteousness. As a trained architect the story line resonated with me, as an entrepreneur at heart the principles spoke to me directly. I immediately took action in my life to follow my dreams. I never looked back or did another drawing again. I want to give other people that same liberty… freedom of depending on anyone else, freedome of expecting antyhing from anyone else… that is true freedom and its attainable in the greatest country in the world, the good ole USA.
