027: The Secret To Achieving More While Doing Less (Sharpening Your Axe)
The Flipping Ninja
Host: A.J. Hakimi
What You Need to Know [Episode Summary]:
In this episode A.J. talks about the importance of being prepared and doing the hard work up front.
The importance of sharpening your axe, and putting in the time, energy, and resources into yourself NOW — so when opportunity comes your way, you’ll be ready to STRIKE — and capitalize.
3 Value Bombs:
- When it comes to flipping, many people are shocked by how much I can sell things for. How I’ll buy something, turn around and sell it for 8x, 9x, 10x what I bought it for. Not just 50% more, or 2x more — but exponentially more. It’s not talent — let’s get that out the way. It’s about skill. Sharpening your axe. It all comes down to your marketing. Salesmanship in print.
- Sharpening your axe means preparing. Doing the work up front. Being good, getting good, spending a lot of time, energy, money, and resources on getting skilled up. Becoming a pro, becoming a master, becoming an expert, so that when you do take those swings, they count. You won’t have to take as many swings because you’re that good. You don’t have to work as hard because you’re that good.
- Missing out on opportunities or deals doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. Opportunities are like buses. If you miss one, there’s always another one coming around the corner. They’re everywhere.

“My flipping philosophy can be used universally. That’s the beauty of it. 5 Steps. 5 Secrets. That’s all I teach. If you learn these 5 steps, it doesn’t matter what you’re selling, what you’re buying, what you’re flipping, what you’re doing — none of that matters. You can use it anywhere, anytime, on any item.”
“Anytime you need to persuade or influence someone to do something — whether it’s selling an item, or having your way, or selling an idea or vision that you have — learning these skills will skyrocket your chances of closing the deal. That’s the beauty of what I teach in my flipping philosophy.”
“Once you learn the skills, you can use them anywhere, anytime. Now imagine if you had the skills, how much more opportunity would you be able to capitalize on? You wouldn’t have to take as many swings, because every swing you take will be a home run.”
“Sharpen your axe. Put in the time now. Pay the price now. Pay the price today, so you can pay any price tomorrow. Do the work today, so you could do anything you want tomorrow.”
