Building the Family BusinessDavid Belman joins Brad and Steve to talk about how he became passionate about business in his younger years by observing everything over the dinner table. He shares how the family businesses came with their own set of challenges and opportunities. But, with the right commitment and approach, it can thrive. Learning about how to hire the right people is one of the most important aspects of running a business, and how owners should be willing to invest in the professional development of their employees is truly essential.Highlights08:28 As a business owner, there's a huge challenge in trying to find the right people and fit the right person for the job. 09:50 You have to invest in some training and that's really at the core that is building some system. 11:08 Sometimes you have to figure out a niche and a way to approach it. 13:02 You have to have people that are what I call farmers instead of hunters and so that's kind of what I did and I was like, “I want you to be a farmer, you're gonna plant some seeds, you're gonna water those seeds and you're gonna take care of them and over time you're gonna have a lot of sales.” 33:00 Self-improvement is within the mind, and so focusing on who you want to be, and what kind of person you want to be, not who you are now but where you want to go.

Inflation has been felt at the grocery store, at the gas pump, at the car dealership, traveling.... okay, pretty much everywhere. And yes, that means that the home building industry has been hit just as hard. How hard has it been hit? Well, returning to the program today is David Belman (Belman Homes) who outlines how the supply chain issues, when coupled with the increase in interest rates and inflation, has been a perfect storm for the home building industry. "When you put all the regulation that you have in, in our [home building] industry, right now, it's adding $94,000 to the cost of a new home due to local state and federal regulation. And you talk about these young kids and they're going to work and trying to get money so they can buy a house and they can't afford it because the government's costing so much money before you even put a shovel on the ground. So that's what I'm really passionate about is really trying to help the housing affordability issue because it'll help everybody because housing is something that everybody should have access to."

Towards the tail end of summer, I had a viral tweet that was retweeted by Rob Schneider that highlighted the rampant inflation taking place, particularly as it pertains to the impact on the building and greater construction industry.  Well, today's guest just happens to be the original author of that post from over on Facebook, and is one owner of a Belman Homes and host of The Home Building Hero Podcast, David Belman! Listen as we discuss how despite the focus having shifted away from the skyrocketing prices increasing construction costs, the very real implications of government policy are still rearing their ugly head, like how all new homes are overpriced by 25% just to cover the added costs of government regulation.  WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_FGSTngRMY Episode Sponsors: Liberty Sales Ebook- https://www.briannicholsshow.com/libertyfriendsebook My Delta 8: https://www.briannicholsshow.com/delta8 (CODE TBNS AT CHECKOUT) Thrive Markets MUDWTR: https://www.briannicholsshow.com/mud Find David Online- https://davidbelman.net/ https://belmanhomes.com/ https://belmanhomes.com/podcasts/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Meet David Belman:  David is a second generation home builder, a real estate broker realtor. He served as past president of the Metropolitan Builders Association and past president of the Wisconsin Builders Association, as well as a director at the National Association of homebuilders. David has won numerous industry awards, including the 2020 Emerging Leader Waukesha County, 2017 Waukesha Freeman Citizen of the Year and his firm has won the Top Choice Award for Best Home Builder for six years in a row. I keep hearing about Operation Finally Home, could you tell us a bit about it? Sure, I basically was at a builder Show in Las Vegas of all places. One of my suppliers offered to take me to a concert which was a benefit concert for veterans and I learned about a veteran that lost his legs in the war. His vehicle ran over an IED and his legs were crushed inside the vehicle and he had to pull his mangled legs from the wreckage. The vehicle was on fire, and the ammunition inside the vehicle was gonna blow up the whole vehicle so he used mangled legs to put the fire out which saved his whole battalion. He had just enough strength to pull himself out of the vehicle before he passed out and of course, he had to have his legs amputated. This is a guy who was going to serve his entire life in the military and that was taken away from them. So you've got a guy that's 30 or whatever that now is handicapped, has no career option at this point, dealing with depression, all sorts of things. This organization came along, found him and gave him a brand new, completely free home which totally changed his life. I just thought that was the most incredible thing. He was there at the event and I got to meet them. I was like, "man, I want to be a part of this, I want to be able to do this kind of thing." So I got involved and brought it to Wisconsin almost seven years ago. I was the first builder to commit to doing one here in Wisconsin, and I've done six homes already and I'm planning on doing my seventh one. It's been super gratifying and these are all great people. I never realized how difficult it is for veterans to return back, especially if they have injuries so this is one way to really help in a big way and make a big difference. What new things are you working on right now? I'm actually in the process of writing a book all about leadership which will come out into February. So it's leadership growth hacks for developing professionals and anyone that wants to improve their leadership skills. I've held a lot of leadership positions over the years and I've been compiling ideas and notes which I'm excited to get out there and share with people some of the tips that I've created and lessons that I've learned over the years. Obviously Young Guns is something major on the horizon as well, do you want to talk about that a little bit? Young guns is something that was an opportunity that was given, partly because of the operation Finally Home stuff. I had met Paul Neuberger who had seen some of the things I was doing, and we had a conversation because they do some charitable work. I was explaining how our charity works and then then his insurance company did some things for our cause. Later he reached out to me a couple months later and said, "Hey, I've got this really big idea and I would like you to be a part of it." The idea was to put on a really killer business development conference and he wanted me to speak. So we had some conversations, and it evolved into the Young Guns brand which we became business partners for along with Andy Wines. It went from being a conference to now, we've got an online show, we have quarterly events and some other things in the works. We have our first summit November 12th and we have 2 really great keynote speakers. The first speaker is Ryan Campbell who was the youngest gentleman to fly around the world. Unfortunately, after that completed he was flying and he actually crashed on a takeoff and he became paralyzed. He worked very hard in rehab, and he actually willed himself to be able to walk again. So that's an amazing and inspirational story that we can't wait to have him share. Then we have Brandy Holloway who has another interesting story where she created own business which in her words flamed out. She basically rose from the ashes which is her motto of being a Phoenix. We have some panels that we will be doing as well including one that's talking about businesses that are crushing it during COVID which will be talking about different models and things that people are doing that are succeeding right now, when a lot of companies are having a hard time.  Can you share with our listeners one of your most successful or favorite networking experiences that you've had?  Yeah, I think I think my best one ties in with my Operation Finally Home Story at the conference in Vegas. For the first decade of my career I was in sales, and I sold a lot of homes, but I didn't really do a lot of networking. I started to get more involved in organizations especially when I went to that builder show out of state I decided to meet people and learn as much as I can. That was one of those opportunities where it wasn't something I would normally do is kind of outside of my comfort zone. I went and did it and it's completely changed my life. They always say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but not this. This definitely came back and it was a good thing. I think that's probably my most successful networking story because it's created so many new friendships, new opportunities, and connections not only locally here, but even around the country. It's great to have those connections and those friends that you can work together on a common goal and help each other out.  How do you stay in front of and best nurture relationships in your network? I think it's a combination of using the tools that are out there like social media platforms and sharing what you're doing to let your network know what you're involved in and what you're working on. People like to do business with people they know, like, and trust so letting them know who you are, and being there for them is important. I also think it's important still to have that in person connection, and they kind of go hand in hand. Maybe there's somebody you're intrigued by because of what they're posting or their content. I encourage people to reach out to those folks and try to get to know them a little bit. Sometimes it works the other way where you meet somebody in person, connect online, learn more about them online, and grow the relationship that way. So I see it as a 2 way street.  Do you find more value in digital networking or traditional networking? I guess I'm a little old school that I still like face to face. My closest connections are people that I've actually met so I think at the end of the day I still prefer that. However, you definitely have to be able to supplement that with social media and you should be connecting on social media with everybody that you come across and work with. But there's just nothing quite like looking someone in the eye and shaking your hand and getting to know him, or having a common experience with them. That creates a bond that's stronger than anything you can do on social media.  If you could go back to your 20 year old self, what would you tell yourself to do more of, less of, or differently with regards to your professional career? When I did the Young Guns speech, I talked a little bit about this and I think this is when my career really changed. I always worked hard, I was putting a lot of hours, but didn't seem like I was going the direction I wanted to. I met a speaker at an event that I was at, and he talked about his legacy and it really got me thinking. He said, "You've got to think about your legacy." I took it to the next step and I said, "what would somebody say about me when I'm gone?" I thought about it and didn't know if I liked the answer at the time which really made me shift my thinking about a bigger picture. When I started to use that mindset, I started making decisions very differently. That's kind of how I started getting involved with Operation Finally Home and how I started giving back into the industry. Now I'm changing people's lives and building a roof over their head which is the largest investment they're gonna make in their life. It took our higher level of importance and it allowed me to see more opportunities that I didn't see before. It really changed my perspective from just saying, "do this" or "do that" to instead looking at the bigger picture and understanding that you only get one life. So do what you want to do and don't be afraid to try something or do something. Who would be the one person that you'd love to connect with? I've got to think big and it would be really cool to meet somebody like a Tony Robbins, or a Simon Sinek. I think those guys are just really deep, interesting people and I think given this day and age there's definitely a way I could do that. I look at some of the stuff we're doing with Young Guns, and maybe that'll grow and give us that opportunity to work with one of those folks. There's always a way to meet somebody and I've had some kind of cool opportunities. I actually sat in the room with Paul Ryan once and ran a meeting when he was speaker of the house. So you never know who you will connect with and what's going to happen. The only way to make it happen is to be intentional and go for it! Do you have any final word or advice off for our listeners with regards to growing and supporting your network? Always be learning is a big one. As far as growing your network, always be willing to put yourself out there and ask questions. Also be willing to give and be willing to help others first so when you do need something it becomes a lot easier to ask.  Connect with David: Email: davidbelman@sbcglobal.net  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidbelman/  Sign up for the Young Guns Fall Summit: https://hopin.to/events/youngguns

In this episode of The Real Build, I got to talk with David Belman, owner of Belman Homes in Waukesha, Wisconsin. David worked in many phases of construction before becoming a new construction salesperson, then owning his real estate, land development, & home building companies. He has a passion for building homes, giving back to the community through Operation Finally Home, and being an industry leader for housing. He served as President of the Metropolitan Builders Association & President of the Wisconsin Builders Association. David is an industry panelist for housing & real estate summits in Wisconsin. He publishes articles for Milwaukee Magazine and is a guest speaker for home building and sales at WCTC. His company, Belman Homes, was the first builder in Wisconsin to build a free home for a wounded war hero with Operation Finally Home. He founded the Motivational Minute video series providing real-life sales, motivation, and personal growth information in under a minute on LinkedIn. (#MotivationalMinute). David has a Podcast, the Home Building Hero Podcast, in which he provides housing industry news. David and I discussed a variety of different topics about the building industry. Most importantly, we talked about how the best approach in building isn't to sell your customers just on price. It's essential to sell yourself on the customer experience and quality. We discussed how valuable customer experience is during every build, and as builders, if we focus on the overall experience versus other things, we are going to over-deliver.

Young Guns inspires, motivates, and encourages professionals to become the best possible versions of themselves and realize that they are capable of more than they ever dreamed. Young Guns realizes it’s extremely difficult for our future leaders to keep up with the speed of innovation with respect to personal branding, social media, business creation, and differentiation, among many other important topics. Young Guns speakers are all literally changing the rules of the game. Who better to ignite the leaders of tomorrow than the trendsetters at this can’t miss event? Inspired by the fact that this nation is bursting with an entrepreneurial spirit and social media influencers, Paul M. Neuberger had a vision for a one-of-a-kind, career-changing event featuring some of the most disruptive agents of change inspiring the leaders of tomorrow. After sharing his vision with fellow entrepreneurs Andy Weins and David Belman, Young Guns was born. This project of passion quickly exploded into a life-changing experience that any aspiring innovator cannot afford to miss.   Andy Weins is a TedX speaker, Army veteran, and owner of Green Up Solutions. He’ll be one of the leading speakers at Young Guns, an event to help inspire local entrepreneurs, provide networking opportunities, and share their knowledge. As an entrepreneur himself, Andy wanted to find more opportunities to speak.
