It's a fact that you can grow your real estate investing business faster with partners when you find people who have skills you lack. Instead of trying to master everything, why not focus on what you do well and partner with someone who can fill the gaps?   That's exactly what today's guest, Ace Hagerty, did. Rather than try to do "all the things" and become a "jack of all trades," he found partners that could make his business grow faster than trying to do it alone.   Ace is a structural engineer and a Nashville-based real estate investor. He flipped his first house nine years ago. Since then, he's flipped over 200 houses and inspected thousands of residential and light commercial structures. Ace has a portfolio of long-term and short-term rentals and is currently developing from the ground up!   [00:33 - 07:42] Opening Segment Introducing Ace to the show He started out working as a laborer to gain exposure to how structures are put together Ace's first flip was a short sale deal that he split with his broker, netting them $90,000   [07:43 - 22:09] How to Accomplish Big Goals with the Help of Others When applying for loans, banks look more favorably on a history of successful projects Making mistakes when the stakes are small can save you from making big mistakes later Stick to areas of strength and find people to supplement weaknesses Form relationships by looking at how to be of service to people The importance of nurturing relationships on a personal level and believing in synchronicity   [22:10 - 34:41] Discovering Your Superpowers: How to Find Your Mission, Identity, and True Purpose in Life Chasing money or an idea like financial freedom will not get you there Be of service to people before expecting to receive anything, as it will come back tenfold Superpowers include the ability to focus; connect with people on a human level; discover who you are, what your mission is, and what your superpowers are   [34:42 - 46:12] How to Overcome Mindset Problems and Reclaim Your Power Ask yourself what you want in life, not what others want of you Leverage pain and pleasure to rewire your brain Use pattern interruptions to break old patterns The key to success is the 6 inches of real estate between our ears The more disciplined you are, the more freedom you have Daily habits and rituals help maintain focus and alignment   [46:13 - 48:40] Closing Segment Connect with Ace with the links below Final words     Quotes:   "Everything in life is so much more fun to do with other people.

Step into a world of possibilities in this week's episode of Life After Corporate, hosted by Deb Boulanger. Joining Deb is author, podcaster, founder and CEO of Powerful Professionals, Kim Walsh Phillips, as she shares her personal journey of leaving behind the corporate grind and embracing a life of entrepreneurial success. In this insightful conversation, Kim sheds light on the challenges she encountered as a woman in corporate America, the emotional hurdles of starting her own business, and the strategic moves that propelled her to astonishing heights. Kim reminds us that when it comes to overcoming the fear of rejection and finding success in life after corporate, you must remember this: you have the power to choose your audience and focus on those who truly align with your message. Don't waste your time and energy worrying about the naysayers and doubters, because they were never your potential clients to begin with. Embrace the nervousness and transform it into empowerment, knowing that every rejection brings you one step closer to connecting with the right audience. Don't reject yourself, keep moving forward boldly, and watch as your message resonates with those who are ready and waiting to hear it. Disc Assessment:  [Dominance, Inducement, Submission, and Compliance] are behavioral self-assessment tools based on the year 1928-published DISC emotional and behavioral theory of psychologist William Moulton Marston. The tools are designed to predict job performance.   [00:01 13:10] Making Content Effective for Client Conversion   Avoid generic content and focus on answering specific questions relevant to your target audience. Use resources like answerthepublic.com and chat GPT to identify specific questions people are asking. Overcome the fear of rejection by shifting focus from those who will never be your clients. Recognize that feeling nervous or scared is normal, but don't let it stop you from sharing your message.     [13:11 -22:04] Building a Community and Turning Followers into Paying Clients   Acknowledge and embrace fear as you embark on a new journey. Develop content and overcome emotional blocks to connect with your target audience. Foster community by narrowing in on one big idea and talking about it consistently. Create a free course as a valuable offer to attract potential clients.     [22:05 - 26:31]  Challenges in Scaling Up and Building a Team   COO and assistant played crucial roles in managing and coordinating the team Hiring based on DISC personality profiles rather than skill sets or past experience Team members were selected from the community or through personal connections The business's purpose is to eliminate burnout and prioritize holistic well-being   [26:32 - 27:38] Lessons Learned on the Entrepreneurial Journey    Discovering the importance of aligning personal joy with serving others Building a business based on serving others while still prioritizing self-care Making difficult decisions that may not please everyone in your life Living a purposeful life filled with joy and fulfillment   [27:39 - 29:40] Closing Segment  Connect with Kim through the links below  Follow us on social media and leave a review Final words   Connect with Kim Hanssen Website: Kim Walsh Phillips Website: Powerful Professionals Facebook: KimWalshPhillips IG: @thekimwalshphillips LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kimwalshphillips X (Twitter): KWalshPhillips   How to Quickly Add 1,000 People to Your Email List:  How To Quickly Add 1,000 People To Your Email LIst (powerfulprofessionals.com)   Podcast: The Scale Fast Podcast   RESOURCES vidyo.ai   Other Episodes You May Enjoy Go to https://lifeaftercorporatepodcast.com/ for all episodes 131.  From Self-Sabotage to Success: Practical Strategies to Thrive 101.  Faith Over Fear with Kimberly Spencer   44.  Why You Need to Ditch Your Avatar and Other Blasphemous Marketing Ideas   Tweetable Quotes:  "Don't let the fear of rejection limit you from reaching the right audience with your message."...
