Successful entrepreneurs must deal with challenges in order to expand their business and life. What were their mistakes, and how can you learn from them? How can you grow your business without sacrificing time with loved ones? On this episode, Andy Green of Green Group Real Estate shares the mistakes he’s learned from throughout his business journey. Treat your company like a business and have a plan. -Andy Green 3 Things We Learned From This Episode Don’t underestimate the importance of good leadership (08:18-09:07) If you are a visionary, it’s likely that at some point you’ve expected more from your team than is actually possible. Make sure you’re articulating exactly what you expect them. It’s easy to get caught up in what you think should happen, but unless you communicate that, you’re not going to see the results you want. Focus on building relationships (11:35- 12:32) No matter how much the real estate industry seems to be changing, one constant factor is the necessity to build relationships. Be sure to stay top of mind for clients past and present. You can do this by sending them video content. Unlike emails, which are usually impersonal, sending videos helps people get to know, like and trust you— and ultimately build profitable relationships with you as a result. Safeguard yourself from burnout (21:51- 23:27) Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you need to do all the work in your business. Wherever you can, trade your money for time. Leveraging in this way will protect you from burnout. While it’s important to put work into your business, putting in that work should never be a barrier to your personal freedoms. There are a lot of challenges that business owners have to face, and it’s inevitable that you’ll run into a problem somewhere along your journey to business freedom. However, learning from others’ mistakes can help you navigate those problems more easily. Focus on being a good leader and treating your company like the business it is. However, remember to prioritize the things that matter to you. Success requires a balance. Guest Bio- Andy Green is the CEO of Green Group Real Estate, under Keller Williams Portland Premiere.

Questions about your Portland Real Estate career? Send me a private email Today I'd like to introduce myself and share a few things about my business. I grew up surrounded by the real estate business. My family was involved in building and developing large scale communities, and I always knew that I wanted to do something with real estate. Just after college, I got into new home sales. I did that for about six and a half years, but at the end, I was selling too many homes. I simply outgrew the business in that market, so I moved into the resale market for a couple years. Finally, three years ago, I decided to go all in with real estate and opened Green Group Real Estate. Our first year, we did seven million dollars in production. Last year, we were up to $24 million in production. So far for 2015, we are a little over $26 million in production. We are on pace to sell about 60 million dollars in real estate for 2015.If you look at how long it usually takes real estate agents to reach that level of production, you can see that the Green Group is experiencing rapid growth. People often ask me, "How did you do it?" It's simple: I followed systems and models from Keller Williams. Keller Williams is the number one training organization in the United States. I also surround myself with leaders who are doing more than I am. They are great people with big visions. I aspire to be like them, so I take whatever methods they are using and make those methods work for me. That's where the systems and models come in!My goal with this video blog is to provide you with all the information on how I've built my business. I'm passionate about giving back and helping real estate agents achieve their goals, so please, don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions!
