Sometimes in life it seems like you can’t lose. You’re firing on all cylinders and one win leads to another. You take those wins and turn them into growth and you get better and better at whatever it is you’re doing. In the land business this can mean you’re buying tons of land and selling it really quickly, maybe your even taking your profits, reinvesting and doing bigger deals. This is a great feeling and if you work hard enough this is something you can definitely experience. There’s another side to this as well. Sometimes the constant winning can blind you into a false sense of security that you can’t fail. We’ve experienced this too. There’s nothing worse than killing it only to lose it all the next day. So join us today as we talk about a subject that’s been on our minds a lot lately. We’re in a market where it’s really easy to make money and get caught up in the winning cycle but if you’re not careful, when the market shifts, you might not like where you end up if you’re not prepared.

They say with time comes wisdom and recently we had an experience where that really came to mind and it got us thinking. What would we tell ourselves if we could go back and have that conversation with the younger versions of us.

These are some questions that we’re going to talk about today. What do you think? Anything special you’d say to yourself?

Sometimes decisions and actions are very black and white. They’re either right or wrong and you know that you’re actions are appropriate because there’s a clear distinction between the two. Then there’s areas that are gray. Meaning they may not be “wrong” but they may not be exactly “right” either. The question for today’s show is how much room is there, if any, for doing business in that gray area? It’s an interesting question because sometimes when people do business in between the lines it’s shady and we don’t do shady around here. However, sometimes there’s legal loopholes that allow for such actions. So what do you do? Where do you draw the line? Join us today as we have some fun and talk through this with some of our thoughts and then let us know what you think!

There’s a theme in the Real Estate education niche that you can become rich in a matter of weeks and that all your problems will vanish because you’ll be your own boss in no time at all. Has it happened? Surely it has for someone but the majority of people who build a sustainable business do so over time. You start small and you build. Along the way you get better at what you do and your investments become bigger and bigger. As coaches we think it’s imperative to set real expectations about what this business is and what can be done with it. So join us because that’s what we’re gonna talk about today!
