In a reflective episode of “The Real Estate Experiment,” Ruben delves into how the seven laws of the universe are not only unavoidable but also deeply intertwined with the mid-term rental insurance business. For those attuned to the principles of personal development, Ruben highlights how securing a mid-term rental insurance contract is not a random occurrence but rather a result of these universal laws at play. He draws intriguing connections between the seven laws and the MTR (Mid-Term Rental) strategy: Perpetual Transmutation of Energy: Ruben underscores entropy, how bringing order back into your lifes avatar is how you're highly rewarded and after order by law is disroder and the cycle repeats no different to when a property is cleaned to be found in disorder after a guest stay or being back in disorder after the previous MTR contract. Cause and Effect: Ruben discusses how every action and decision within the MTR business has consequences. Recognizing this law prompts strategic thinking and mindful decision-making. Vibration: Ruben explores how vibrational frequencies in one's thoughts and intentions can attract or repel opportunities in the MTR niche. Positive vibrations and alignment with goals can lead to success. Polarity: The concept of duality is examined, emphasizing how contrasting aspects within the MTR business, such as challenges and opportunities, are interconnected and essential for growth including a family deciding not to move forward with your property, another deal is always on it's way. Relativity: Ruben emphasizes how relative perspectives play a role in the MTR industry, where success is measured in comparison to various factors including attracting the right avatar base don their pain points, need and availability. Rhythm: Ruben discusses how understanding the rhythms and cycles in the MTR business can help in timing decisions and actions for maximum impact. Gender: Ruben touches on the most frequently asked questions, ‘how long does it take to land a contract'…the gestation period of every deal is different, mastering the skill and trusting the process is the essence of getting deal after deal. By linking these universal laws to the MTR strategy, Ruben offers a thought-provoking perspective on how individuals can navigate the industry with a greater awareness of the forces at play. This reflective episode underscores that achieving success in the mid-term rental insurance business is not a matter of chance but a matter of aligning one's efforts with these fundamental laws of the universe.
