    Lower Costs And Increase Revenue With The BRRRR Strategy Through Vertical Integration

    Joshua Wilson is a force of nature in business. He has had the entrepreneurial spirit since he was young and has used that energy to not only create a profitable business using the BRRRR method. Josh has had a ton of success scaling this business using vertical integration strategies and finding ways to add more cash flow by adding additional ancillary businesses. Don't Forget To Reach Out To Joshua Wilson Brrrrbootcamp.com Quotes Imagine every time you buy a house you are creating a new customer for a variety of different businesses. Landscape, pest control, rehab, property management, real estate brokerage, insurance brokerage. Trying to buy all the income streams that come with a rental property. Every property we buy provides income to multiple entities. I can then be the visionary so I can focus on creating ideas. I remember being on the beach and I was taking vendor calls, property management calls and other things. I am sitting at the beach with my family but I am not present at the beach where I am working so I needed to find some balance. I want to have something in place that runs 24/7 so I don't have to be reactive 24/7.. If you don't have a good leader nobody knows where they are going and everybody has their heads in the sand. Eventually you are going to turnover. So it is important to put quality people in the right seats. There is no magic formula for hiring people. You just know there is a gut instinct you have to rely on. Grow and scale like a true entrepreneur. Buy real estate and build a foundation and then buy ancillary businesses. ConceptsDidn't graduate college. Didn't get good grades, he just always had the entrepreneur spirit. When he was a kid he was on a cruise with his grandparents. They gave him the card they give you so you can buy things on the ship. So he let his friends use his card but he would charge them $1-$2 more. At the end of the cruise he had a $700 bill on the card and his grandparents were pissed. He pulled out his wad of cash and he ended up making over $100 in profit. He hasn't looked back since then. We add our own little touch to the BRRR method which is called vertical integration. Lots of people are doing this process and they are not vertically integrating. The first thing they did was start a property management company out of necessity. I would create a company it would start thriving and than as an entrepreneur I would get bored so I would look into what is next I look at the P&L to see where we are spending the most money and then identify where we are allocating the most costs. Than you can decide which opportunities are available When we are paying a vendor over 150k a year I feel we have enough there to ramp up that entity. When you remove yourself from a business before you can pass it off. You need somebody to fill the integrator role that can implement the vision. Goal is to hit 50 million in the next 5 years. It is easier to acquire established businesses than it is to start a business. Looking back up to 3 years for comps due to market volatility. If you are buying properties based on the last 6 months you are gonna get hurt.

I had to figure something out. And so I wasn't smart with that money. I'll be honest I wasn't smart; I just enjoyed my life.” “When I had to go work that daily bank job, doing something that I didn't want to do, it was a wake-up call.

I think a lot of times people just have fixed ideas, and they don't actually consider like is what I'm doing is it necessary.”“And don't let the absence of perfection impede progress because so many people either get overwhelmed because they can't do it the way that they want to do it or they don't know how to do it to completion.

I had to do it or I would be homeless. I had to do it or I would be a crappy dad for my kids. That's how it felt to me. That is how it mentally and emotionally drained me" "We need bigger why's. I talk to people a lot of the time and they don't even have a why. They might not even have the luxury of thinking of a bigger why. We like to empower people to find their biggest why”Concepts • It is hard to go into business with your friends. Be careful when doing so because it can ruin your relationship if you do not share the same values in business.• When seeking partnerships Steve likes to work with people on individual deals and joint ventures. Not so much in established corporate partnerships anymore. • I am big on developing a culture. I want my employees to feel like a family or a community. • We are a data and marketing agency right now focusing on the real estate niche. We work with any type of investor as well as Realtors and brokers. We help people with lead generation and conversion primarily.• Data hygiene is how accurate and current the data you are acquiring is. A lot of these all-in-one solutions are buying this data in bulk, and it is only being updated quarterly or monthly. If you want the best results, you need your data to be updated more frequently than that.• As my teams grew from 10 people to 50 people to where we are now generally between 80 and one hundred people. Not only was I helping people grow their business, but I was helping my employees have a much better life. • Steve likes to treat his virtual employees just like companies that have local ones. He wants to develop his employees and help them grow so that he can have this ripple effect on the world. 45-47• Steve fell in love with Filipino culture. He loves traveling over to see his employees. His fiancé is one of his employees. There is something about that culture that syncs and is in harmony with him. • It is important for everybody on your team to have a role. Everybody doesn't have to be Michael Jordan. There are other roles out there. Dennis Rodman played the bully, and he got all the rebounds. It is important to get the right person in the right role. Make that person the best person they can be at that role. • You gotta have fun at work. You can't just try to be Mel Gibson in Braveheart rallying people for war every day to motivate people; it gets old quickly. It is important to have to make it fun and bring the energy up. It fosters a fun workplace, being open and dynamic, and promotes empathy and compassion. 53-55Time Stamps 0:00 - Introduction 0:30 - Craziest Transaction9:30 - Discussing how to structure partnerships15:00 - Have you found a business structure for partnerships that works better? 18:50 - Check your ego and follow your passion 24:15 - Discussing traveling in the Philippines26:15 - How did you structure the lease option on this deal? 30:45 - What is the elevator pitch for M-Power Solutions? 32:00 - Discussing Data hygiene of skip tracing companies34:15 - What is the difference between your company and other data companies? 38:45 - How did you discover your passion for building teams and building culture? 46:40 - Why did you decide to go the virtual route instead of doing this locally? 49:15 - Discussing the culture of winning and comparing it to sports57:05 - How did you come to the epiphany of focusing on just one thing and specializing? 1:00:15 - Discussing the passion and alignment he has with his employees. 1:04:50 - What is your vision for the next 12-18 months? 1:11:10 - What is the best way for the audience to reach you? 1:12:00 - Wrap

    Provide So Much Value it is a Disservice For People Not To Work With You With Larry White

    Larry has been crushing it in real estate for a long time and has an extremely impressive track record. Larry helped grow Carrington from 386 agents to almost 3000 agents across the country. From there he went to Xome and played a visionary role there spearheading a lot of the auction and REO platforms that they were running. He is currently with EXP realty and has a team of over 550 agents. Larry is a man who went from having his card declined at starbucks to training the top agents in the world. Larry's story is full of setbacks that are followed by massive leaps forward. Larry is a huge proponent of finding out what you want and more importantly the “Why” behind it. Larry's Why is $4.86. At the age of 27 he thought he had his life figured out. He owned five homes in phoenix, two properties in Mexico and had six figures in his bank account and he lost so much more than that. He invited his future wife out for coffee. His credit card was declined for $4.86. The pain, the disappointment, the shame. That was the point that flicked the switch for him. In this episode, Larry talks about his switch, his awesome morning routine and how to manage your time and energy in productive ways.

Let's go!”“I'm the type, if I'm wrong, I will be the first to apologize, to me like look i f*cked up. I'm sorry, let's course correct. I'm also the person to be like I would do it again all over and that's basically what I did.”“I think most people have no idea what they're working for. They're getting into Real Estate because they want freedom, they have zero freedom. They don't respect their time, and so nobody else respects their time. They're making a choice to do that because their why is not big enough.”“The universe will teach you lessons until you learn them.”“I'm tired of building everybody else's company and having nothing to show for it. ““Whenever I sit down to coach somebody #1 it is what is their goal and than it is what is your why for your goal”“My goal is to help as many people reach financial freedom as possible. There is a system for success that anybody can follow if they want to””You have to constantly be pushing your limits. If somebody tells me I can't do something I just say F*ck You, YOU can't do this!” “I want to provide so much value to people that it is a disservice for them not to work with me.” Concepts • Larry felt no need to get up in the morning but that quickly changed and he got into a much better habit. Larry has a vigorous morning routine. He started meditating at 30 minutes a day and his routine grew to 3 hours. This has him more energized and focused to take on the day. • Some advice that Larry gives is, if you are constantly trying to please everyone and go, go, go, then people won't respect your time.• My goal when I built a team with KW in Phoenix was to get a deal sold every day. We got to 322 that year which was at least a deal every business day which is pretty cool. • I had to grow by necessity because I could not help more than 60 people a year myself because I didn't have the time. • I was running a brokerage for Auction.com at 27 years old. I didn't even know how to run my life at that time. • My mentor wanted me to move to Las Vegas for an opportunity. And I was like I can't make it in Vegas for two days let alone bring my family there. •He moved his business to Las Vegas and shortly thereafter they stopped doing foreclosures in his area,which was a large part of his business. He just uprooted his life and had to start over again so he started cold calling and building relationships again. •With Larry's help Carrington went from 386 agents to almost 3000 agents across the country. •Larry parted ways with Carrington due to creative differences and moved on to Xome. • Now he spends most of his time duplicating what he has done. Building targeted relationships so that you can grow whether or not it is an up market or a down market. • Larry's Why is $4.86. At the age of 27 he thought he had his life figured out. He owned five homes in phoenix, two properties in Mexico and had six figures in his bank account and he lost so much more than that. He invited his future wife out for coffee. His credit card was declined for $4.86. The pain, the disappointment, the shame. That was the point that flicked the switch for him. •Larry and his wife attended an event and his wife called him out. She said “You can do this. Why aren't you doing this? Why are you playing so small you need to be playing bigger.” •I went to a Tony Robbins event and we walked over burning coals and fire.

    How to Use Past Failures to Propel Your Future With Raymond Sjolsek

    Raymond Sjolseth is a successful business builder and investor. He has started 45 businesses in his career and the majority of them ended up in failure. However, 5 of them led to some big exits. Raymond is a huge believer in learning through failure and being able to unlearn and relearn along the way. He utilizes two concepts that we get into detail with in this episode: The Four ones and the 5 X 4 method. In this episode he talks about real estate investing, overcoming trauma, and how to restart and begin again. Raymond is currently with EXP Realty building a team of agents and he operates out of the Chicago market. Don't Forget To Reach Out To Raymond Sjolseth: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-agent-podcast/id1578917530Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/raymond.sjolseth.79Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raymondsjolseth/?hl=enYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaXJhOp-fOFegIpdQWD75CQLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raymond-sjolsethTwitter: https://twitter.com/RaymondSjolsethQuotes "That's why I have had so many failures because I try new things and I learn from them. But, it's also given me so much contrast that has given me clarity on other businesses because I understand the mistakes I have made along the way"“Where I feel responsible is, I felt like I gave somebody enough rope to hang themselves and that's on me.”“If you can create a system that you can stick to, that you're comfortable with, and that you want to do. It's a game changer.”“Stop trying so hard and figure out a different way because it doesn't have to be challenging. There's always another option if you'll give yourself the time and the white space to think about it.” “I think one of the most important things is to know your strengths.” "I think it is that self awareness and the ability to know I have work to do on myself and that I want to be constantly improving. There is that Japanese word Kaizen that means constant improvement and that is what I live by. " “You have the ability to begin again at any time. I've really taken that to heart, it is not easy, it is not for the weak, it is frustrating and it is challenging. If you are able to control your attitude, which dictates your thoughts, feelings and emotions, then you can control your stress level” Concepts • Real Estate is comprised of people and partnerships. That's it. • The ability to begin with the end of mind is important. You need to identify what you do want to do and more importantly what you do not want to do. • The four ones: One Hour of Lead Generation Per Day, Set One Appointment, Add one Contact To Sphere of Influence Every Day, And Conduct One Appointment Per Day• Every day Raymond is going to take a 10 minute video of a part of the city or a suburb every day. • Raymond utilizes what he calls the 5 X 4 method. He has 5 activities he wants to complete every day and he allocates a 4 hour window for that. His goal has been to complete these tasks between 8-12 every morning. Adding this process has been a game changer for him. • Raymond has learned through self awareness that nothing is going to be perfect out of the gate. It is going to take time to figure it out. Imperfect action is the route to figuring it all out. • The question is can you do this consistently? If you do this consistently you can have any business you want. Most agents don't have a plan and that is why they don't get anywhere. • One of the most important things is to know your strengths. One of the best ones is the Clifton Strengths Assessment. It taught me a lot about myself. What it does is break down your top 5 strengths and gives you a good idea what to focus on. • Time block in 60-90 minutes periods. Focus on one activity for these periods of time. Everybody talks about time management but you cannot manage time everybody gets 24 hours. What you can manage is your activities. • Raymond reads the book You 2: A High Velocity Formula for Multiplying Your Personal Effectiveness in Quantum Leaps every day. It is a short book of only 35 pages. • The ability to unlearn and relearn is the most important tip that Raymond has uncovered in his time. If you have the ability to unlearn and relearn you are unstoppable.
