Three Things You’ll Learn:
Use your time wisely
One of the biggest mistakes we make as real estate entrepreneurs is believing our time is all our own. When you get your time back by hiring others, make sure you’re using your extra hours to generate more money. Otherwise, you’re just spending money on getting someone else to make the same amount you were before.
Fail forward
Failure is crucial for success. Ensure you’re not only allowing failure, but encouraging it amongst your team members. Use the challenges to find solutions and prevent it from happening again by letting people know where you’ve gone wrong in the past.
Beat technology by being human
Technology is meant to make our lives easier. However, we also need to remember that with communication, it’s always good to have a human touch. Rather than sending out mass communication that doesn’t give you results, commit to making quarterly phone calls to your database.
You can’t consider yourself a business owner if you’re unable to step away from your company for a prolonged period. Remember, if your goal was to have more freedom, you need to build something that allows you to attain it. With that said, don’t waste your free time. Work with your business in mind, but build a business with your life in mind.
