In this episode, we dive into the power of the “Who, Not How” mindset—an approach that's transformed high achievers and passive investors alike. We'll compare two real-life stories: two house flippers who bought similar properties, yet one doubled his profit over the other, and two wholesalers with almost identical deals but drastically different results. The difference? It's not in how they did it, but who did it. Join us as we unpack the principles from Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy's groundbreaking book, Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork, and explore why passive investors should rethink their approach to real estate. Shifting your focus from “How can I do this?” to “Who can help me achieve this?” may just be the key to unlocking new levels of success, freedom, and wealth. Listen in to learn why your investment's success may rest on finding the right “who” and how this shift can elevate your real estate journey beyond traditional strategies.

We debunk some major myths around funding and control that trip up many founder executive directors. The key is building relationships, people! Donors are community too. Tiffany shares straight truth about the pitfalls nonprofit newbies face, like lacking systems and support early on. We dish out some real talk around trusting others to carry the vision, finding the right "who's" for your board, and avoiding burnout. Even us visionary bosses need help sometimes!

Michelle Pascoe (CSP) is an international speaker, accredited trainer, researcher, author, podcaster and experienced businesswoman. She has an undeniable passion for customer service, mystery shopping and team motivation, and is a specialist in every aspect of service operations and processes and their impact on the customer experience.   In 1994, she founded one of Australia's most respected training companies, Optimum Operating Procedures and Services Pty Ltd (OOPS). Serving the hospitality industry for almost 30 years, OOPS is still a thriving provider of mystery shopping, service benchmarking, surveys and focus groups, competitor audits, team training and leadership development - including the highly successful Middle Management Movement program.  Michelle's key focus on passion pertain to service delivery and the expectations of the 21st century customer, through mapping their journey, and she firmly believes that a feeling of belonging created throughout the experience is a key point of difference in creating the essential human connection.   Questions • So, could you share with our listeners a little bit about how you got to where you are today? • Could you maybe just put in context for us just how it is that services in your country currently are in your part of the world? And what are some of the main service issues, maybe across different industries, if there is like maybe a two or three overarching themes that you've identified since you work with different organisations that you've found that companies tend to struggle with in terms of delivering that excellent service? • One of the things I wanted to find out from you, as it relates to that specific point, do you believe that the customer becoming rude is a behavioural issue that is maybe cultural in terms of just their mannerism? Or do you think it is a catalyst as a result of how they're being treated? • And as listeners of this podcast, if there was like a business owner, or maybe a senior person in a customer success or customer experience department that would be listening to this episode, and they themselves are considering doing such an activity (mystery shop) for 2024, what would be your advice? What are some of the benefits that you think will be derived? • Now, can you also share with our listeners, what's the one online resource, tool, website or app that you absolutely can't live without in your business? • Can you also share with our listeners, maybe one or two books that you've read? It could be a book that you read a very long time ago, but it has had a great impact on you, or even one that you've read recently. • Now, Michelle, can you also share with our listeners what's the one thing that's going on in your life right now that you're really excited about? Either something you're working on to develop yourself or your people. • Where can listeners find you online? • Now, before we wrap our episodes up, we always like to ask our guests, do you have a quote or a saying that during times of adversity or challenge, you will tend to revert to this quote if for any reason you got derailed or you went off track, the quote kind of helps to get you back on track. Do you have one of those? Highlights Michelle's Journey Me: Now, before we start getting into the core of the conversation, we always like to give our guests an opportunity to share in their own words a little bit about their own journey. So, could you share with our listeners a little bit about how you got to where you are today?   Michelle shared that she started her business back in 1994. So, it only seems like yesterday, even though it's nearly 30 years, 3 decades. And how she got into the industry was she's been an employee for a number of years in the hospitality and marketing fields and she had a horrific interview and she thought back to herself then, this is not a way to run a business.  So, after a very short period of time, she did some various courses, business courses, and she started her own business. Now the development over the years from back then, which was offering more piping services because that was one thing she was good at, she slowly moved into training. And then within a few short years, got into the hospitality industry and absolutely love it, because to her, the connection with the customer, both the internal and the external customer, just gives her so much joy and passion.  And over that time, some of those young boys and girls she trained nearly 30 years ago are now CEOs of their own businesses, and she has had the honour and privilege of seeing their own personal journey. But they have also taken her on the journey through the various companies that they have been with. So yes, it's been a wonderful 3 decades and she looks forward to more years ahead of her.   In Terms of Delivering Excellent Service, What Are Some Main Service Issues or Overarching Themes Identified Working with Different Organizations Me: So, you are in the service industry for many, many years now. And I know services pretty much standard across most countries across the world. I've interviewed persons from Australia before on this podcast, but I always like to get a perspective from people that are from different parts of the world. So, could you maybe just put in context for us just how it is that services in your country currently or in your part of the world? And what are some of the main service issues, maybe across different industries, if there is like maybe a two or three overarching themes that you've identified since you work with different organizations that you've found that companies tend to struggle with in terms of delivering that excellent service?    Michelle stated yes, you are correct in the sense that service is an expectation no matter what country we are in, in the world. However, in Australia, and she says it's very similar, she's not long back from the US herself, is that they are still struggling to have people apply for positions. Now, Australia is a very large country, they have a lot of regional areas that their city people and their overseas tourists love to come to, to travel and enjoy the outback areas, however, their expectation is that the restaurants will be open, the hotels will be open, the service will be impeccable, and it should be and the owners of those businesses really try. But it's very, very, very hard to get staff at the moment.   They are finding when they closed their borders, a lot of their overseas backpackers who work predominantly in the hospitality industry have not returned, it's very slow. And they're also finding even in their city venues, and this is across all industries, not just hospitality, that it's a longer process now for people to actually come in to businesses and wish to apply. Before 2020, they were finding that they have a number of applicants they could choose from, but now it is trying to even get people to apply and then retain them. The world has changed in that not that everybody just comes to work at home, because that's just not serviceable, particularly in the hospitality. But it's understanding that we are now working with four key generations.  And so, what are we offering them in the workplace that is going to provide not just that simple analogy of lifework balance, but actually what are we actually asking them questions, finding out what they're needing? And she thinks we're finding the businesses that are doing that and changing the rostering system to perhaps what it was always been for many, many years, is attracting the right applicants slowly, but it is getting better. So, she thinks that's probably one of the key areas.  When it comes to service is understanding what customer's needs are. There's a lot of intolerance, there's a lot of entitlement from customers, she'll put her hand up and openly say that they see that so often, the rudeness of customers and this idea that they think that provider of that service is a servant, and not just providing a service. And that's what they're doing. People are providing a service, they are serving them, but they are not a servant.  So, they do find that a lot of people that are new in the industry when it comes to customer service, whether it's retail, hospitality, real estate, that they leave pretty quickly, because they get hurt, the resilience is low, it's hard, some customers are quite rude. So, how can handle that? Certainly an area that she's finding they work on a lot with the training now is how do we handle those customers? What can we do proactively before they become that intolerable customer, so to speak? And the other is consistency, and they'll talk about that a little bit later on is that companies do clearly need to define what the vision is, what their values are, and what their expectations, because they find that when they're not, businesses that they'll be highly recommended one way, and then social media will destroy them the following way. And it may well be due to something that it could be easily fixed if they had a clear vision and expectations were set beforehand. So, they're probably the three areas that they're finding that's impacting the businesses across in Australia.   Customer Behaviour  Me: I found it interesting when you mentioned that the customer becomes rude and as a result of that you find that a lot of people are leaving from the customer experience professions because their tolerance becomes very low because of how they're treated. I don't think I've ever heard anyone put it in that perspective before but one of the things I wanted to find out from you, as it relates to that specific point, do you believe that the customer becoming rude is a behavioural issue that is maybe cultural in terms of just their mannerism? Or do you think it is a catalyst as a result of how they're being treated, their needs not being met, communication not being consistent and clear and that propels them into that state of being very intolerable and aggravated and rude to the customer service providers. What has your experience been there?   Michelle stated that that's a really good question. People's expectations have changed, we now have a world that everything is instant and we see so often that they now believe it's all about me, we see that on the roads, when people are driving the road, they won't let you in or they believe that they should be at the front of the queue, because they've got a busy day. And it's all this self-entitlement, now, this certainly is not all our customers and unfortunately, they are the minority, but they make the most noise and they impact the most on our beautiful people that are providing the service.  So, it is this feeling of self-entitlement. We've found with those couple of years of shutdown, in particular, that the people that were coming out of that they are still learning that they have to wait for service, that they have to understand things are a little bit slower. And she thinks that's what's really key is when that is shared with them, it's communicating, it's not making excuses from the company, but the company sharing with them, she's seen them in the USA, small signs that we're short on staff, sorry, for the delays, we are wanting to provide you the best customer service. Now, she knows not everybody reads signs, but just that little bit of a pre warning may assist with some customers, but those ones that are totally intolerable, we're going to handle them because that's just part of what service is, but it doesn't mean we have to accept rude behaviour.  And she thinks that's where it has to be very clearly communicated to the frontline team that management or the owner of the business won't accept that and will intervene when a customer has overstepped the comments perhaps, or their interactions with that service provider or is impacting with other customers, there's not a lot, there's only a few, but they do find, and what they're finding there more and more is that these people just believe that they're entitled to have this service right now and don't worry about anybody else, which is disappointing.   What are Some of the Benefits that Derived from Market Research (Mystery Shopping)  Me: Now, a big part of what you do, based on what we read in your bio was also mystery shopping. And I'm sure you do mystery shopping across many different industries, have you found that the mystery shopping helps to identify to organisations what their key pain points are? And as listeners of this podcast, if there was like a business owner, or maybe a senior person in a customer success or customer experience department that would be listening to this episode, and they themselves are considering doing such an activity for 2024, what would be your advice? What are some of the benefits that you think will be derived?   Because the intervention itself of mystery shopping can be a very expensive venture, why would you recommend to a CEO or someone who is in customer success or customer experience, to recommend to their organization to invest in something like this? Because I find a lot of organizations tend to, they may want to do it, they hear about it, but then they're not able to connect the dots in terms of the financial gain that they're going to get from a report like that, or data submitted from that and how does that translate into transforming the experience that it will increase the dollar value in their organization, when they look at their bottom line at the end of the year, there's more money, not less money. Michelle stated another great question, and she loves mystery shopping. When she first created their own proprietary software, which is over two decades now, she never wanted it to be defined or catch people out in it. A lot of frontline team members, as well as owners of businesses think mystery shopping is all about finding the faults in your business. She's always changed the narrative around that, that they're looking for the shining lights in your business, as well as where there are opportunities.  So, if she can just give a quick analogy of the reports that they do is both objective and subjective. Now, you have to have those both areas in mystery shopping. There is no point in just having a score, because a number means absolutely nothing unless it has got qualitative research behind it.  Now, quantitative research which gives you those stats, it's important because you've got that number then to go, “Alright, we've got 85 this month, and what can we put in place now to rise that number.” But you want to understand, how did you get that number of 85, so for the listeners, she would say first off, break up the report, what they're going to look up into four key areas, the service, image, marketing, and compliance or regulations that they may have in their particular industry, or even their own personal regulations or compliance in their own business.  And then when looking at those questions, it's both looking at them that purely objective questioning where, are they wearing their name badge? Yes or no. But then it could be, you'd have a number of questions about that actual service, did they take an audit? Did they use your name? Did they offer you an option there all those objective questions, which are fantastic for those scores, that you can measure that data every month, or how often you do it. But then it's about that qualitative information. Because, at times, we could have an experience where the register doesn't work, or there could be an issue with the actual process of delivering a particular product, but it is how it's handled by that frontline person, or that owner of that business that brings in that subjective experience. And that's what's absolutely key.  So, having those questions in there, and that ability to make a comment on those questions. And it could be, the register was not able to be used, it was broken down, so instead of the staff member just shrugging their shoulders and saying, “Oh, can't serve you it doesn't work.”  What did they do? Did they do they offer for you to take a little bit longer to walk around the store? Do they ask you to come in and having a sit down, we can serve you the coffee, and then payment can be a little bit less? What was those ways that you and your team connected with that person who's coming to your business, to ensure that they have this amazing experience, even when things aren't working the 100%.  So, yes, mystery shopping can be expensive, it doesn't always have to be but a couple of tips, is you're investing in your team, this is not about catching people out, it is about those shining lights that show to others how wonderful, what happens when the service is provided, the impact that it has, and also gives you the opportunity to get some very important and information back from your customers. It also shows you where there are friction points, those pain points where the length of time is too long. She does a lot of research in multi generations, as you may well be aware in particularly Gen Z, they're looking for that frictionless point, they don't want to be held up in queues, they want to be able to just order and the foods delivered, for example.   So, mystery shopping identifies where those friction points are, and also identify those areas that are working really well. Or perhaps there's an area that it's working, but what can we do to step it up. So, she's going to say mystery shopping as an investment.  And she's had same clients for over two decades, and the data that she has on them, particularly one client, they started off with one business, they have now gone into seven different businesses, they've reached out into other areas of business and different forms of industry. And all because they've always measured what they've done the month before with the mystery shopping. So, she can understand that some businesses may feel it's an expense, but it is truly an investment in their business, as well as in their team.    App, Website or Tool that Michelle Absolutely Can't Live Without in Her Business When asked about an online resource that she can't live without in her business, Michelle shared that  it's funny the technology you always think it's great when it's working, but when it doesn't, it can be frustrating. One of the beautiful tools that has really come out is Canva. And it's an Australian girl who started and it is now worldwide where you can create anything, it is absolutely beautiful. You can create posters, you can just create words and everything just looks wonderful. She suggest to the listeners to have a look at that Canva is really good.  The online platform she uses for all her online training is Kajabi and she found that out through coming to the US, she comes quite often throughout the years. And she loves that for an online platform, and she suppose, as an app, and what we're all getting into now many of us is this Chat GPT, how to use it wisely. But she's found it's good, you can put the information in there, ask it to give you some ideas, you don't take them all but it's certainly a way of well, “How do we make this perhaps what I said a bit more compelling in the written word.” But yes, they'd be her three Canva, Kajabi and Chat GPT.    Books that Have Had the Biggest Impact on Michelle When asked about books that has had an impact, Michelle shared that she's an avid reader. She loves reading and self-development in business she thinks is absolutely key. But most recently, when she says most recently, it was the start of last year, she was given the book, The Gap and The Gain: The High Achievers' Guide to Happiness, Confidence, and Success by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy, phenomenal book, have you read that book?  Me: I have not.  Michelle stated that she just got it here in front of her. It's got the High Achievers' Guide to Happiness, Competence and Success. And when you go through the book, the both of them speak about and many of us know that Dan Sullivan is the founder of some strategic coaches. Too often in life, we look at that gap, instead of looking at what we've gained. She always say to her clients, those wanting to build their membership and they start off at zero. And they say, “Oh, you know, we wanted to achieve 100 new members by the end of the week.” And when they get to 50, when she sees them, they go, “Oh, we only got 50.” And all they're worried about is the 50 that they didn't get, but she said, and this is what comes from the sport is, but look at the gain, you started off with zero, and now you've got 50, that's fantastic.  And honestly, it is a book that changed her whole course and her business. And she's saying that with hand on heart, it is a book that not only has changed her business, but also her life and her thoughts in too often we spend in that gap and not enough time again and how to do that. And they've written some further books both of them together.  The other was Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork, which is fantastic. And of course, there's another book, it's just come out about 10xing and how to 10x instead of 2x. So, her absolute favourite is The Gap and The Gain. So, whether it's book four, which she loves on Audible, is just as interesting and informative.   What Michelle is Really Excited About Now! When asked about something that she's excited about right now, Michelle shared that she was thinking about this question. And as she said a moment ago, she truly believes in self-development in business. She has ensured that she has spent a lot of time in the US doing multiple courses, also in Australia, in Europe and Asia, bringing that information back to her team and to her clients. So, at the moment, what they're very excited about is planning well in advance for 2024 in how they can deliver their programs even further outreach to their regional areas in Australia, and also globally. So, that's exciting for them because when they develop the business, it develops and rises their whole team, I've got her beautiful researcher, she also has another who does a lot of the researching so by developing new niches, new areas globally, it will certainly provide them more work.   Where Can We Find Michelle Online LinkedIn – www.linkedin.com/in/michellepascoe Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/MichellePascoeVIP Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/michelle.pascoe/ Website – www.michellepascoe.com   Quote or Saying that During Times of Adversity Michelle Uses When asked about a quote or saying that she tends to revert to, Michelle stated that she does and it was one that she actually created herself, many years ago after doing a course about choice theory and meeting different people from very diverse backgrounds over the years, is that “We choose the life that we truly deserve, not the life that others choose for us.” And she lives by that. And she shares that with every client that she comes in contact with because not everybody sees the potential that they have inside them. And there are so many people that impact others on their thoughts and the decisions in their life. But yes, choose the life that you truly deserve, not the one that others choose for you.   Me: Brilliant. Alright, Michelle. Well, thank you so much for coming on our podcast today and taking time out of your schedule to kind of share about customer experience and what are some of the key things that organizations can gain from really focusing on this aspect of their business. Also tapping into the key things that market research, specifically mystery shopping can do for a business regardless of the industry. And of course, to turn the perspective of how organizations may look at mystery shopping more from who are the shining persons that will be identified from the research and any opportunities for improvement….I thought that was really cool. So, thank you so much again, and we wish you all the very best.

Podcast: Shannon Waller's Team Success (LS 38 · TOP 2% what is this?)Episode: Teamwork Triad In Real Life, with Chad WillardsonPub date: 2023-11-16 In previous episodes, Shannon has talked about the Teamwork Triad—are you curious to see how it plays out in real life? In this episode, Shannon interviews entrepreneur, author, and podcast host Chad Willardson about his Unique Ability® Dream Team. Learn how to find extraordinary executive assistants who not only support you, but sit in the Teamwork Triad seats that will help you achieve 10x growth. Download Episode Transcript Show Notes: Chad Willardson is an entrepreneur, author, and podcaster from Southern California. He left Merrill Lynch in 2011 to start his own company, Pacific Capital, a wealth management firm serving entrepreneurs. Teamwork specialist Shannon Waller and Unique Ability specialist Julia Waller introduced the idea of a Unique Ability “Dream Team” to support Chad beyond his business. This team, called the Teamwork Triad, includes a Visionary, an Innovation Manager, and a Focus Manager. Chad found two extraordinary people he knew would be the right fit through LinkedIn. Maddie was hired to be Chad's Strategic EA and handles business-related tasks. Chad calls her his left brain. Oriya was hired to be Chad's Operational EA and focuses on personal tasks, marketing, travel planning, and calendar management. Because of her interests and skills in design, Chad calls her his right brain. What each member of the triad is responsible for can be summed up by “make it up” (Chad, the Visionary), “make it real” (Maddie, the Innovation Manager), and “make it recur” (Oriya, the Focus Manager). Chad's main requirement was to find and hire high-caliber individuals who align with his vision and have the mental horsepower to handle complex tasks. The team uses tools like Asana, Microsoft Teams, and Google Docs for communication and task management. Regular communication and collaboration are keys to success for a team that works mainly remotely but meets bi-weekly in person. The team meets weekly and has in-person collaboration sessions every other week to align on goals and projects. The trust and empowerment Chad gives his team leads to his own increased freedom and success as an entrepreneur. Chad used assessments like Kolbe, CliftonStrengths®, PRINT®, and Working Genius to understand each of their strengths and how to best work together. Chad asked ChatGPT to assess potential clashes given everyone's assessments, gave its response to Maddie and Oriya, and had them discuss how they would avoid territorial dangers. From the beginning, Maddie and Oriya forged their friendship and working relationship based on mutual respect for each other's separate interests and areas of Unique Ability. Because of how Chad has empowered them, Maddie and Oriya find ways to help each other without having to get Chad involved, thereby keeping his capacity free for his own Unique Ability projects. Maddie and Oriya have been attending their own workshops with Strategic Coach® to learn how to use tools such as The Weekly Planner and The Impact Filter™, which further simplify communication and delegation for all three. Maddie and Oriya have collected their tips on how entrepreneurs can most effectively work with two executive assistants: “EA Collaboration Guide.” Freed up from daily business operations, Chad is leveraged to think about bigger opportunities beyond his business, such as Free Zone collaborations with other 10x entrepreneurs.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 561 What motivates you to work on your dreams? In this episode, Codie Sanchez, founder + CEO of Contrarian Thinking, joins Josh Trent to explain why money is freedom, why you need to think for yourself, how creating a villain in your life can push you forward, what it takes to be a contrarian, what steps you can take to achieve financial freedom, and what makes successful people different from others. "If you look at the amount of people that capitalism has pulled out of poverty, as measured by countries that have actually instituted it as opposed to taken it away, the numbers don't lie. There are huge issues with it but it is the only one that we can categorically say continues to lift people out of poverty. I think what we actually need to do, we need to export more people into ownership." - Codie Sanchez Live Life Well from Sunrise to Sunset Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Superfoods brand, ORGANIFI, including their Sunrise to Sunset Bundle and their Women's Power Stack that includes HARMONY + GLOW for true hormonal balance and great health radiating through your beautiful skin.

They don't have things to lose so that becomes the tragedy of the commons which is when everybody's responsible for somebody and nobody takes care of it." - Codie Sanchez Put On an Armor "In order for us to succeed through life, we need to put on armor. And the armor in my case is often the exact opposite of what people think it is. It's a reminder of all the things that I've been able to overcome over the years. When difficult things happen to you, if you can alter them, you can really move forward in a way that nothing really hurts anymore." - Codie Sanchez Contrarian Thinking "If you were to go out to a group of 100 people and ask them: "Do you think that you think well?" The answer of most people would be "Of course, yes." And that's why we're crazy on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram because we don't actually question our ability to frame our own individual thoughts which is a huge mistake. The smartest, richest, happiest people I know question everything, including themselves. They question most themselves." - Codie Sanchez Links From Today's Show  Codie Sanchez 555 Mike Dillard | Richer Every Day: How To WIN The War on Your Money + Mind Letters to a Young Contrarian by Christopher Hitchens David Osborn Leela Quantum Infinity Bloc - 10% off with code "JOSH10" Mimetic theory Anthony Pompliano: Millionaire Explains How To Get Rich During A Recession | Codie Sanchez BREATHE | Breath & Wellness: 21 Day Guided Program Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork by Dan Sullivan + Benjamin Hardy Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Great Thinkers by The School of Life Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products BREATHE - 20% off with the code “PODCAST20” Organifi –20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' SEED Synbiotic - 30% off with the code "JOSHTRENT" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Cured Nutrition CBD - 20% off with the code "WELLNESS FORCE" PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" LiftMode - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" HVMN Ketone-IQ - 20% off with the code "JOSH" MitoZen – 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – 15% off with the link only NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - $25 off with the code "JOSH25" ION - 15% off with the code ‘JOSH1KS' Feel Free from Botanic Tonics - $40 off with the code "WELLNESS40" Essential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATERS - 33% off your first order with the code "JOSH33" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Codie Sanchez Codie Sanchez is the founder and CEO of Contrarian Thinking, a critical thinking and financial media company with over 3 million subscribers and 100 million views a month.

Do you find yourself constantly stuck in the trap of trying to do everything yourself? Could the secret lie in understanding the power of teamwork, collaboration, and delegation?    Success is not about how much you can do alone; it's about how effectively you can assemble and lead a team of talented individuals to achieve extraordinary results together. A widespread notion says success is solely attributed to individual prowess and self-sufficiency. Consequently, such an idea hinders us from recognizing the power of collaboration and collective intelligence. It causes us to disregard the usefulness of other people's ability to add value and innovative solutions to achieve incredible success.   Therefore, we must acknowledge that human capacities are innately different, and no single individual possesses all the abilities, expertise, and background necessary to complete every activity to the highest standard. Aiming to do so inevitably produces burnout, decreased effectiveness, and missed opportunities for progress. Thus, we must recognize that though we have talents and skills to accomplish a particular task, we can do better by finding someone to help us carry the burden of responsibility that's on our shoulders. We must learn to trust those who share our vision to operate and contribute to their full potential, thereby empowering their growth while nurturing their talents.   In this solo episode, Dr. Derrick Burgess will share some of the great learnings he got from the transformational book of Mr. Dan Sullivan entitled Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork. This excellent book focuses on helping people approach every situation and problem more critically to solve the problem and achieve their goals. Tune in today as we delve deep into how to harness the power of relationships for extraordinary results and how we can strengthen our talents by finding someone to bear the burden with us and allow their expertise to contribute meaningfully to our goals.   "Find someone who can help you solve your problem, trust them, and allow them to do what you need them to do without always having to micromanage them." – Dr. Derrick Burgess   Topics Covered: (00:00:00) Introduction + Episode Snippet (00:01:51) Appreciating Progress (00:02:27) Feedbacks refuel our motivations.

If you can free time where you can be creative, then possibilities are limitless." – Dr. Derrick Burgess    "Every time you invest in something, your commitment increases." – Dr. Derrick Burgess    "The more committed you are, the more likely you're going to see progress." – Dr. Derrick Burgess    "Once you can trust somebody and give them the autonomy to get it done, it might be done differently than how you want it done. – Dr. Derrick Burgess    "Lessons are repeated until they're learned." – Dr. Derrick Burgess    "If you have enough money to solve a problem, you don't have a problem." – Dr. Derrick Burgess    "Once we make it to a place, it's much easier for us to help somebody else get there than it might have been for us to get there. So, seek to be a hero for someone." – Dr. Derrick Burgess    "Before you try to find your who, you must know what your vision is, what you seek to do, and who you are seeking to be." – Dr. Derrick Burgess    "Have the courage to know that you can do and be more than you have been in your past." – Dr. Derrick Burgess    Connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess: Website: https://www.drderrickthesportsdr.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drderrickthesportsdr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeOut.SportsDr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrick-burgess-72047b246/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHGDu1zT4K_X6PnYELu8weg Email: thesportsdoctr@gmail.com   This episode of TimeOut with the SportsDr. is produced by Podcast VAs Philippines - the team that helps podcasters effectively launch and manage their podcasts, so we don't have to.

When hardworking estate and trust attorney Kimberly Lee took a risky 30-day trip to South Africa in January, it was the busiest time of the year for her practice. But this incredible adventure taught her the power of taking time off and the courage to embrace Not Yet Projects. In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Kimberly opens up about her journey, how she prepared for the trip, and how her parents played a significant role in her experience. She also shares the valuable lessons she learned and why taking time off is so important. Taking time off can be incredibly challenging when setting up “Not Yet Projects.” Kimberly candidly discusses the emotional impact of making herself less important in the context of her business and how her team reacted when she took a block of time off. Steve and Kimberly explore the need for agreed-upon definitions of “emergency” and the importance of taking meaningful trips. They also touch on her great life adventure in South Africa in honor of her father, who unexpectedly passed away in November. Kimberly's story of overcoming her mother's opposition to taking time off and developing this skill is truly inspiring. You'll hear the powerful story of a leopard in South Africa that learned to hunt on her own, serving as an analogy for the value of looking beyond what has already been done. Steve and Kimberly wrap up the episode by reflecting on poverty and gratitude, acknowledging the privilege we have in the United States and the extraordinary accomplishments we can achieve through hard work and determination. In this episode, you will hear: The importance of taking time off and embracing “Not Yet Projects” for personal growth and mental health Preparing your team and business for a planned absence by setting up protocols and addressing potential emergencies Gradually increasing the duration of time off to build confidence in the ability to disconnect and delegate responsibilities The emotional impact of making yourself less important in the business context and overcoming the fear of taking time off Why you should plan for great life adventures and make them meaningful, like Kimberly's South African trip in honor of her father Reflecting on poverty and gratitude, acknowledging the privilege we have and the accomplishments we can achieve through hard work and determination Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Successful real estate investors go through many difficulties during their first five years in the industry before reaching their peak. If you want to overcome hardships, you must never stop learning and be patient in the process. While the learning curve may be painful, everything will become straightforward once you systematically organize your strategy.  Our guest experienced this during his first five years in business. In the early years, he struggled to manage everything; he faced failures and hardships; however, as the years passed, he was able to get help from others and grow his business.  This week in First Responder Financial Freedom Podcast,  Bill shares his story of growing his business in five years by learning continuously, acquiring advice from mentors, and adapting strategies within his network and his business partner Mike. Our guest speaker today will indeed teach you a lot. Tune in to learn more.  Bill Kenny is Mike's business partner, and they have been doing business together for quite some time. They currently do wholesale, private lending, and own self-storage rentals. In addition to owning multiple properties and storage spaces, he is licensed as a real estate agent in Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.    Why you need to check today's episode: Get a better understanding of why and how wholesale is important. Discover the best strategies from our guest expert. Hear why you must not stop lead generation and learn its importance for your business. And; Find out why you should seek a mentor when starting a business. And why it is important to have an assistant to help you run your business. “Businesses are a difficult journey because there are a million ways to do it. And there are a million ways to be successful. But it does take consistency in those small activities every day to grow that business. - Bill Kenny   Topics Covered: 1:09 - “Mike's been a fireman, as everybody knows, I've been a full-time realtor, and our business has been our second full-time thing going on since we joined up in like 2014 and put our business together in 2018.“ An overview of Bill's background and how he came to work in real estate. Bill describes how he and Mike met and how they became business partners. He also shared a brief introduction about himself.   7:09: “I was listening to the Dave Ramsey show, and he talked about the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. But he talked about that as a different philosophy from what he taught, and I thought that was pretty interesting. And then within, I would say within eight months, I just started talking to a bunch of people and found a rental property, went out and bought a rental property, had no idea what I was doing.” He shares how reading Rich Dad and Poor Dad gave him the impetus to invest in Real Estate as soon as he finished reading it.   9:33 - “So what I did was I bought a course. I think it was like $500, and I don't remember anything about the course other than it said the first thing to do is go out and join your local REIA, Real Estate Investor Association.“ Getting a good foundation in real estate requires much more than reading books and listening to podcasts. It is for this reason he encourages himself to enroll in a course where he will have the opportunity to learn from and meet others with the same interest.   10:58 - “What wholesaling does is it teaches you how to evaluate deals, and it makes you understand the markets that you're in.” Bill explains what wholesale is and how it works. Also, Mike mentioned the advantages of buying wholesale. In his explanation,  buying wholesale allows you to get a house under contract and then sell it without buying it.   22:23 - “The effort that you need to put into that business and consistently do the right things. You have to do that nonstop, every day, for four to five years if you want to grow that business if you want to see any success in it. That's where you have to take that. That effort and consistency have to be there.” In Real Estate Investing, as in any other business, there are no shortcuts. Hitting your numbers requires dedication, courage, and a lot of effort. Before you hit your stride, it may take a while. But once you achieve that breakthrough, your business becomes solid.    25:44 - “The minute you stop lead generating, that's when your pipeline starts to soften up and slow up.”  According to Bill, your business will fall apart 90% of the time if you cease lead generation. Real estate investment leads should not be stopped. Bill explains why.   30:42 - “One of the things that really helped me was getting a real estate coach, somebody that's done it before, and someone that can mentor you through that process.” Bill admits that it was a roller coaster ride during his first five years in business. Fortunately, he found a coach and an assistant who helped him manage his business.   38:52 - “You know, like, hiring somebody to do QuickBooks data entry. It's just like, there are people that like that, and that is much, much better at it than you are. Yes. So it's just like, wow, instead of sitting there stressing out how to figure out how to market and put this stuff on social media and do all this thing. Guess what? There are people that, for a fair rate, will do an amazing job and do it for you.” Mike stresses the importance of having someone help you with your business. Instead of thinking that it is a waste of money, think of it as a way to alleviate stress and burden.   46:30 - “Underwriting deals as underwriting deals. Do the variables change the more zeros on the end of different people involved? Yes. But there's still a skill set to do that. And you can do it once you've once you figured it out. So underwriting a hard money deal is the same as underwriting a wholesale deal, right?”  Why is wholesale so important? Mike and Bill figure out why. Listen to them as they explain the reasons why.   53:26 - “I would say finding some account of accountability partner, a mentor, you know, someone that that's been down that road, a coach, whatever you want to call it, that stuff, like even if you got to pay for it that is valuable.” This a piece of advice Bill would give to his younger self, and it is also valid for anyone just getting started in the field. Key Takeaways: “Wholesaling is a good way to get started. If you're a new investor because you don't really have to own anything.” - Bill Kenny   “What it takes is the effort, like we were saying, the effort that you need to put into that business and consistently do the right things. You have to do that nonstop, every day for, you know, four to five years if you want to grow that business if you want to see any success in it. That's where you have to take that. That effort and consistency have to be there.” - Bill Kenny   "In real estate investing and in being a realtor, if lead generation is not at the very top, then your business is probably going to start to fall apart." - Bill Kenny   “You become a realtor, and they're like, Oh, I gotta get my business card, I gotta get my business card. They spent a whole day designing the business card. Nobody gives a shit about your business card, pick up the phone and start calling somebody. Do the things that matter.”  - Bill Kenny Resources Mentioned: Dave Ramsey Show: The Ramsey Show on Apple Podcasts Rich Dad, Poor Dad: Rich Dad Poor Dad: The #1 Best-Selling Personal Finance Book Ever Real Estate Reserve Podcast: Real Estate Reserve Podcast on Apple Podcasts Who Not How: Amazon.com: Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork: 9781401960582: Sullivan, Dan, Hardy, Dr. Benjamin: Books   Connect with Bill Kenny Facebook: Bill Kenny - Real Estate Agent | Facebook Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bill_kenny_rei/?hl=en YouTube: Bill Kenny - Real Estate Agent - YouTube LinkedIn:(2) Bill Kenny | LinkedIn Website: Top Real Estate Agents Martinsburg or Hagerstown (billkennyrei.com)   Connect with First Responder Financial Freedom: Website: https://firstresponderfinancialfreedom.com/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/First-Responder-Financial-Freedom-104285545708905 Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/516680892660393

Have you reached the realization that no matter how hard you try, you can't do everything?  Is your job asking too much?  Is it too demanding?  Are you feeling anxious and depressed because no matter how hard you try, you can't remember everything?If you answer yes to these questions, you may be suffering from trying figure out “how” to do everything rather than by finding “whos” who excel at everything!  Let's be honest, no matter how much we will try, we know we can't be good at everything.  We simply can't excel at all things in our business, home, or other endeavors.  However, we can all agree that God gave us all unique talents and gifts.  This means that the world is full of people who EXCEL in the areas that we just aren't good at.  Rather than do everything yourself, what if you wrote down the tasks you do each day that you aren't good at, cause you grief, etc., and seek to find a “Who” that gets excited about doing those things.  Rather than trying to determine how to do those things correctly, you can partner with another person who LOVES doing those things!  Many of the ideas in this episode come from an amazing book that we think you should read right now!

For Christine scaling is all about mindset, and, it revolves around setting goals and surrounding herself with people who are already successful in the industry. By learning from those who are already successful, Christine was able to scale their portfolio quickly and reach their goals.   [12:04 - 17:45] Surrounding yourself with successful people.   Successful people are busy and don't have enough time to do small talks  But being a limited partner in their deals, Christine was able to take advantage of observing how they handle their deals. And if there are chances, she would utilize the time to ask them as many questions as she can to learn. Christine shared that during the pandemic when everything went virtual, she was able to connect to people in the industry. She adds that recently  just by networking they were able to close a deal  She shared that what changed her mindset was the book “Who Not How” by Dan Sulivan. For Christine, everybody is leveraging each other and it's a team sport.    [17:06 - 19:28] Closing Segment Reach out to Christine Hsu Links Below Final Words   Resource Mentioned:    Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork   Tweetable Quotes “It's a team sport everyone's working together.

Check it out below: [00:00:40] Sam Wilson: Christine Hsu is a former R and D food scientist and researcher turned real estate investor. She started with a single family rental and then very quickly scaled to multi-family. [00:00:49] Sam Wilson: Christine. Welcome to the  [00:00:50] Christine Hsu: show. Thank you so much, Sam, for having me. I'm excited to be here.  [00:00:54] Sam Wilson: Pleasure's mine. There's three questions. I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90 seconds or last, can you tell me, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you  [00:01:01] Christine Hsu: get there? Yes. So I started my career as a food scientist, as you mentioned in the intro. [00:01:08] Christine Hsu: And then wasn't feeling the corporate world. So went into real estate and brought me a lot of freedom for myself and my family. And, Now I'm moving into multifamily looking not just a multifamily, really commercial real estate and expanding and hopefully diversifying from from there.  [00:01:23] Sam Wilson: So got it. [00:01:25] Sam Wilson: Now, what is a food scientist?  [00:01:27] Christine Hsu: So, if you go to the store on the shelves, there's a lot of manufactured foods behind all of that is the technical part of a food scientist that formulates those food products to make it scalable and can be mass produced. That's my background. [00:01:42] Christine Hsu: There's a lot of engineering, biology, chemistry behind that. And yeah, so my specialty, when in my career was actually a sensory. So I studied how people perceived how they experienced food through their five senses and measured it through statistics and research. So it was really interesting. [00:02:04] Sam Wilson: I'm sure. I'm sure it is. So you were part of the team responsible for making that awesome lime flavor on those todos lime chip. That probably has no lime in it. I'm assuming, but uh, certainly tastes like lime.  [00:02:17] Christine Hsu: Yeah. It has lime flavors that are extracted from actual limes, but they put it into a powder and they spray it onto the chips. [00:02:24] Sam Wilson: Yes. That's just wild and crazy. I love it. Very cool. But you said, Hey, I'm not loving this, let's get into real estate. what gave you the real estate bug?  [00:02:33] Christine Hsu: Yeah, so, I mean, I loved what I did. I just didn't like the corporate culture and, Just being in a corporate environment, it felt a little bit to me like stifling. [00:02:42] Christine Hsu: It was just you how to show up to work every day, eight to five, at least if not more, when you had projects that required more attention. And even on the slower days where there's less projects, you still had to show up eight to five. So, I feel like there wasn't as much flexibility and really what hit the nail on the head was when I had kids young kids, I was. [00:03:01] Christine Hsu: I would rather be at home watching my, six month old play than be here and do this stuff. So , I decided actually I asked my stuff. I was like, well, what can I do where I can still replace my income, bring home Bring home income to my family, but still have that flexibility and landed on real estate. [00:03:21] Christine Hsu: And actually a lot of arrows pointed to real estate as being an advantage, including tax benefits that also, brought a huge benefit to our family. So that's kind of how I landed  [00:03:30] Sam Wilson: there. How long did it take you to go from single family to multifamily?  [00:03:34] Christine Hsu: Yes. It took about, well, it was a little bit of both because when I became a single family investor, I did the birth strategy in parallel to that. [00:03:44] Christine Hsu: I was also investing as a limited partner alongside all the active stuff that I was doing with rehabs and leasing and all that stuff. I had set aside money to put, to work on the. Passive side as a limited partner so that, that can make me money too. So it was two, it was a parallel path. [00:04:00] Christine Hsu: I mean, I would say I was always involved in commercial and really I was had the intention of going that direction, but wanted to watch from the sidelines first to see the real, the big time experts how they run their show. And then it took about maybe a year. A year or two about a year and a half before I said, okay, I'm gonna go active into syndications in multifamily. [00:04:22] Sam Wilson: Gotcha. That's that's really cool. I love that. Tell me, if you have a background in, measuring how people perceive and taste food, right? Like that's yeah. That's a very nuanced skill. What are some parallels you see in between what you learned as a food scientist, doing what you did there to, how you approach your multifamily investments. [00:04:42] Sam Wilson: Are there any  [00:04:42] Christine Hsu: parallels? There are definitely parallels because I think both meet the basic need of human beings. You've got food and you've got shelter. And I like to focus on those, you invest in things that will change lives. I think that was something that I heard recently, a quote. And they are things that we need. [00:05:00] Christine Hsu: So I feel like recently now I'm, I'm starting to raise some capital for some larger deals. It's all about meeting a need. And I feel like there are a lot of people out there who are, making decent incomes. They don't have time to be active investors, but they do wanna invest passively and all they know is the stock market. [00:05:23] Christine Hsu: So no one's really told them that they have other opportunities beyond that in alternative assets. And. I've met a lot of investors where, it's the need that's already inside of them. I said, Hey, look, you can invest in real estate and have all the advantages of real estate. And do it passively while you focus on your career still and not have to be so hands on, you don't have to be flipping houses. [00:05:43] Christine Hsu: And changing out toilets, you can do this on the side and still get really great returns. And I've had a lot of investors. Convert to being at an LP very, very quickly and just, a couple of meetings. These are people that I know personally who ask, what are you doing now? [00:05:59] Christine Hsu: And I tell them, I invest in real estate and I actually allow others to invest with me. And they're like, oh yeah, tell me more. So I feel like there's some parallels there because there's a need that is being met. Whether it's. Food housing, or just having additional investment opportunities to bring in passive income and even bring wealth generational wealth and a legacy to their families. [00:06:23] Sam Wilson: Yeah, absolutely. What are some challenges that you have faced in scaling a commercial real estate portfolio?  [00:06:30] Christine Hsu: well I think I started in 2020 and the real estate world has seen a lot of. Very high ups and now we're kind of going on the downside. I, some of the challenges I face is just. The volatility of the market. [00:06:47] Christine Hsu: Just in the time that I started and I wouldn't say it's a challenge, you kind of just go with the flow. It's almost like you're in the Rocky rapids, like choppy rapids of the waters. You kind of just have to, clinging on and go with the waves. And so really, there's things that I feel like is a little bit. [00:07:06] Christine Hsu: Stable. Although real estate is still very stable asset, but just the ups and downs. It's been a little bit challenging for me. someone who started newer to kind of keep track of it, but it's also exciting too, because I get to see a lot happening. And really even. When the world is concerned, that's the best time is there's always opportunity in those kind of Rocky moments. [00:07:29] Christine Hsu: So I'm excited to be a part of it. And really it's all about making sure that you're taking measured risks with contingency. And building that into all of the underwriting.  [00:07:39] Sam Wilson: When you say measured risk with contingency what is, what comes to mind when you say that.  [00:07:43] Christine Hsu: so, the interest rates are going up substantially and very quickly. [00:07:48] Christine Hsu: So it's making sure that the numbers are writing in higher interest rates and having that sensitivity analyzer, really Making sure. If it goes like extremely high to like maybe 9%, 10%, what would that look like? And just being prepared for any scenario that happens. Like, I don't think that's going to happen really just based on historical data, but you know, if it does, you never know, it's like no one has that crystal ball. [00:08:14] Christine Hsu: But you have to be prepared for some, for something like that.  [00:08:17] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. Tell me about when I say the words, how to scale, like, what advice would you give to somebody. Or what advice would you give to yourself two or three years ago that you would say, Hey, this is what I would do. [00:08:29] Sam Wilson: If I wanted to grow my commercial real estate portfolio as an active investor, what would you say?  [00:08:35] Christine Hsu: Yeah. So for me, actually it's a little bit different. It's about mindset. Scaling is all about mindset. And for me, I have to sit down and be like, well, why do I want to scale? what is my goal at the end of the day? [00:08:47] Christine Hsu: So I really looked at those goals and kind of work back. And scaled, according to what that end goal is. So it could be anything like, okay, for myself and my family, I wanna cash flow $10,000 a month. Or I want to expand my portfolio to, a thousand units or 500 million dollars of real estate on assets, under management. [00:09:08] Christine Hsu: These are just goals. And I feel like once you have the final destination in sight, you can work backwards to really. Define what those milestones are. to get to that end goal. So for me, it's all scaling is all about mindset. I think it's easy to just, keep going, but really not know where you're going or I'm speaking for myself. [00:09:30] Christine Hsu: So I really had to be very clear on what that end goal  [00:09:33] Sam Wilson: was. Got it. I love that when you set that end goal. So, so now you determined your, why was there anything inside of you that said that's not possible or I that's for somebody else? Not me.  [00:09:46] Christine Hsu: Oh, of course. I mean, Limiting beliefs are just, it's natural. [00:09:50] Christine Hsu: We always have them. And I definitely did. But I feel like for me, it's like surrounding myself with people who are already there. Really helps me get there to say, I, yeah, it's daunting. I might just be starting out or new, newer in the business, but if they can do it and they're alongside kind of helping out and I'm asking them for advice, I could get there too. [00:10:14] Christine Hsu: And probably in a similar timeframe. Cause I've been surrounded by so many people, just really talented, smart people who have gotten to. Goals in just a few years and I'm like, wow, how do they do it? And so it's just not being shy and really reaching out to them being like, Hey, how can I bring you value? [00:10:33] Christine Hsu: And how can I just learn from you  [00:10:35] Sam Wilson: too? Right. And that was my next question. How did you go and surround yourself with people? Just put a flag out. That's, I want myself with really cool, smart people that are. Picking button taking names in real estate. Obviously it's not  [00:10:46] Christine Hsu: what you did. [00:10:47] Christine Hsu: What did you, yeah, no, I wish it was that easy, but these people don't have a lot of time to, you know, to talk to you if you just put out a flag. So for me as I mentioned earlier, I started off being a limited partner in their deals. Even if I didn't have a lot of one-on-one time to ask them like, small, silly questions, I just watched, I observed what they did, how they handled their business. [00:11:10] Christine Hsu: How they acquired real estate, how they work with their investors and learn from that. And of course, they have people on their team to, that are available, their investor relations team. You can ask them as many questions as you want. I feel like they're an open door because essentially they have to be so, just utilizing their resources that are available for their investors being one of their investors in learning from them was the easiest way that. [00:11:34] Christine Hsu: I was learning from them and  [00:11:35] Sam Wilson: observing. Yeah. And it's funny you and I took a similar path on, on, to, to that. I CA I came into commercial real estate, like you did first as limited partner. Yeah. And I recommended that countless times of people, like, what would, what's the first thing you'd do was like, well, if you have the capital. [00:11:50] Sam Wilson: even if it's just 50 grand in one deal, mm-hmm, do that. Get a front row seat and see how someone else already in the industry is handling their business, how they put out their deal, decks, how they communicate, how they do webinars, how often they give, quarterly updates. If they do live calls, like what is their process and get a feel. [00:12:07] Sam Wilson: And you might find things in their process that are broken. You might be like, oh, I can do that better. If I become an active sponsor or that's a really cool thing, they did. Let me see if I can duplicate that. So that's I think that's really cool. After you were a limited partner, what did you do next? [00:12:20] Christine Hsu: Then it was a lot of networking. It was joining, meetup calls thanks to zoom. And even with the pandemic, everything went virtual. So everything is pretty much available. In LinkedIn, I was very active on LinkedIn. Really. If you're connected with one person you're connected with almost everyone in this industry. [00:12:38] Christine Hsu: So really just, reaching out to people that way through those channels, seeing if they have meetup groups online, that meet and then going from there once. In a meetup group and network there, then you meet so many others and it just keeps going. It's it's endless in terms of the possibilities of the people that you meet. [00:12:56] Christine Hsu: And then they become very close friends and part potential partners, too. And so that, that was kind of how I expanded my learnings and skilled really my network in real estate.  [00:13:06] Sam Wilson: How'd you get your first deal done?  [00:13:09] Christine Hsu: First real estate deal or first,  [00:13:12] Sam Wilson: first commercial deal, first commercial real estate  [00:13:14] Christine Hsu: deal. [00:13:15] Christine Hsu: Yes. So that was actually recent. We only just closed a month or so ago and it was through networking. I had met this This operator probably over a year ago, about a year and a half ago at a conference. And just kept in touch with her. And it was. So the lead sponsors, there's a couple groups, but one of the main lead sponsors is an all female group. [00:13:40] Christine Hsu: And so obviously we bonded being females in this industry and we just kept in touch. Like every quarter we would check in to see how we're doing, and if there's anything that we can help each other with almost became like pseudo accountability partners even. And then she she and her team had an opportunity that they were. [00:13:57] Christine Hsu: Under contract for, and also raising funds. And that I said, Hey, I'd be happy to help you out and raise some money with you and join your team and also help with other activities, anything that you need help with. So that's, that was the first deal that I joined as a co GP on. And, it's been great. And even from there, other team members and connecting with them kind of just expanded my network and my knowledge too. No,  [00:14:22] Sam Wilson: that's really cool. I love that. And again, it goes back to those relationships. I think that you've been building, a year it's a good amount of time to know somebody, but it does take sometimes years, to where like, Hey, I actually. [00:14:33] Sam Wilson: We've known each other for a long time. Let's see if there's a chance for us to work together on something. So that's really fantastic. We're there. And I love the fact that this was just your first deal you got across the finish line. Cause this is very fresh for you. Yes, we'd get, we get all sorts of guests on this podcast or we get everybody from, you, Hey, I just closed my first commercial deal a month ago to, somebody else that might be like, Hey, I've got 3 billion in assets, under management. [00:14:56] Sam Wilson: I mean, they're all on here. So I love that we get to explore kind of both sides of this. journey. Tell me, was there, are there things that you would do differently on your next deal that you said, Hey, this is the lesson I learned. I'm gonna do it differently next time. [00:15:08] Sam Wilson: And then if so, why?  [00:15:09] Christine Hsu: Yeah. I mean for us, we are just growing our networks, we're growing our investor list. And I think for the next deal, like we're growing and expanding our deals as well. So this first deal was a 5 0 6 B. We've done a couple others also in parallel. And now we're moving into the world of 5 0 6 CS where we can advertise. [00:15:32] Christine Hsu: So I. Think that, I would really do anything differently per se. I think it's just a journey and a progression. But definitely in terms of learning, it's there's some things that I could do better in terms of investor relations and even the process just to improve on, the entire process and the experience for investors going forward. [00:15:49] Christine Hsu: And I feel like with every deal you learn a little bit of something  [00:15:52] new [00:15:52] Sam Wilson: Yeah. Absolutely. Is there a software, is there a platform, is there something that you are using when you're bringing investors on that you would recommend?  [00:16:01] Christine Hsu: Yes. So, For most of my deals, they've been syndication pro it's been a very user friendly platform. [00:16:09] Christine Hsu: It's, aesthetically pleasing for both sides on the sponsor side and the, on the investor side, just to see everything clearly you can see your distributions whatever documents are housed, there is just very clean. And then we're also exploring with another group invest next. So just kind of comparing the different platforms. [00:16:29] Christine Hsu: I wouldn't say I have a lot of experience with invest next cause we're just starting out. But it's nice to kind of see, compare and contrast the different tools that are out there.  [00:16:37] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. No, and that's great. I think it's one of the things that is, if you're listening to this and you don't. [00:16:43] Sam Wilson: And I'm not, we're not rec recommending one or another necessarily on this show, but if you don't have an investor platform, you gotta get one. I mean, it's something that, just, it really ups your game. They're not terribly expensive. Not com not relative compared to, the types of assets we're buying. [00:16:59] Sam Wilson: It's not an expensive investment. So that's certainly a cool thing. I'm glad really, to hear out of the gate you were launching launching with a good platform there. That's so cool. Last question for you. Is there anything else that you'd like to share with our listeners that you can think of? [00:17:12] Sam Wilson: You're like, Hey, here's something that has been meaningful to me in the last, I guess two years or so of your commercial real estate journey.  [00:17:19] Christine Hsu: Yes, absolutely. For me, Just starting out in real estate. It looks, it seems like a very daunting thing, especially if, as you see everyone skilling at a hundred miles an hour and you're kind of a newbie like that was me. [00:17:31] Christine Hsu: Right. I'm just like, how did these people do it? And really what changed my mindset and perspective was the book called who not how so. It's very popular in our space. I think a lot of people recommend that book and I do as well. It's a whole mindset shift. It's not about how to do something because we're so limited in our knowledge I've I was very limited. [00:17:52] Christine Hsu: I didn't have the experience obviously, but leveraging people who do. So I feel like in syndications, the big keyword is leverage, right? Everyone's leveraging each other. It's a team sport everyone's working together. So for me, it was leveraging people who had more experience than me to get me where I wanted to be, as opposed to just figuring out how to do it. [00:18:14] Christine Hsu: It's just, finding the who's that can get me there.  [00:18:17] Sam Wilson: I love it. Absolutely love it. Christine, thank you for taking the time to come on today. Certainly appreciate it. This was lots of fun. Learning about you, your journey thus far, getting your first deal done. Yeah. Kudos to you. Keep up to good work. [00:18:29] Sam Wilson: If our listeners wanna get in touch with you and learn more about you and what it is you're doing, what is the best way to do that?

Co-hosts Hannah Robinson and Melissa Honan talk about whether bookkeeping has a future, why small business owners should look at hiring a bookkeeper, and what being a good accountant is actually all about. [0:58] Melissa thinks that bookkeeping has a future. For years, she has heard that the space would be obsolete in the next couple of years – but that hasn't happened, bookkeeping is still going strong. In fact, it has never been better. [1:36] ‘Is bookkeeping going to be obsolete?' and ‘Is Artificial Intelligence going to take over?' are some of the biggest questions Hannah and the marketing team get asked. [1:51] People need to understand an important thing: bookkeeping is a relationship-focused industry. And that's something a computer can't do. [3:34] There are a couple of reasons why small business owners look for bookkeepers; because they either don't like bookkeeping or don't have the time to do it themselves. [5:27] Melissa often has conversations with clients to help them realize that trying to do bookkeeping by themselves would be very time consuming as it's something they probably would be learning from scratch. [6:33] For small business owners, bookkeeping is having someone in your corner, who takes care of certain things for you, no matter what. [7:41] The fact that bookkeeping is always going to evolve and have something new – and that people are always going to need it – is one of the biggest points about the future of the industry. [9:03] For Melissa, learning the technology of the niche you work in as a bookkeeper can be very valuable to your clients. [10:37] There are a couple of reasons why Melissa believes that small business owners should look at hiring a bookkeeper. Take the time a business owner would spend doing bookkeeping alone and think about how much they would earn if they spent that time focusing on activities that generate business. Plus, bookkeepers can also help business owners make more money by helping them save on taxes and other fees. [15:24] Melissa sees the lack of customer service as the major pain-point people have when it comes to their accountants. [17:27] One of the things a good bookkeeper does is to help clients understand bookkeeping and their business better. [18:47] Melissa shares her predictions on what bookkeeping is going to look like 5 years from today.     Mentioned in this episode: Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy

Welcome to the Sprint to Profit Podcast for Amazon Sellers. Today we’re going to talk about one of the key areas that you will need to focus on to take your business from a one-person show where you do everything and scale only at your own pace into a full business where you have a team helping you to grow your business in ways that you didn’t know were possible. To get time freedom in your life, you will need to hire strategically in your business, and that means, you need to hire the best talent you can at key points in the business’s life cycle. We previously talked about the FREEDOM EQUATION (MONEY + TIME + ENERGY = FREEDOM). Neither time or energy are finite resources. You need to do something, which lets you recharge both of those things. One of the best ways to get more time and energy for this equation is to hire the right people to free up that time and energy for you.

Asking others for help? Real estate professionals often struggle with doing it, but it can be the key to unlocking your potential for success. Hear insights about: Why Erin recommends you read “Who Not How” by Dan Sullivan, and what important lessons you can draw from the book Why people often become the bottleneck that holds them back from unlocking their full potential for success, and why asking others for help can transform your life Why you should ask yourself who can help you achieve more, instead of asking yourself how you will get there What steps you can take to better manage your energy, focus on positivity, and attract new opportunities Why procrastination is a key indicator that maybe asking others to help you with that aspect of your life is a good idea How asking others for help can create a positive domino effect on your time, your energy and your mindset What key questions to ask yourself to help you recognize where in your life asking others for help can benefit you Erin offers a suggestion to pay attention to your work and life over the next week and identify areas of resistance that are draining you Asking Others For Help It takes a special kind of person to strike out on their own as an entrepreneur. Doing so requires a lot of guts, tenacity, ambition, drive, and willpower. And, while those are all great qualities to have, they can also cause us to get in our own way. It's very easy to convince ourselves that we're the only ones who can do things “the right way,” and so we try to wear every hat ourselves. So what happens? We become the bottleneck to our own success. There are only so many hours in a week, and when we spread ourselves too thin across those precious hours we can find our energy drained and our motivation sapped. In this week's “solocast” episode of the Pursuing Freedom podcast, I want to talk to you about the importance of asking others for help, and I want to share with you the transformative power doing so can have on your business…and your life! Identifying Areas Where Others Can Help Do you ever feel anxiety or even dread, when you look at your calendar and see certain tasks coming up? Do you think “Ugh, I really don't want to have to do that, I'll put it off until tomorrow?” The activities that make us feel that way are different for everyone, but the end result is the same: the wind gets sucked right out of our sails. These tasks, the ones you know you want to put off or avoid, might be ideal places where asking others for help can make all the difference! Consider what would change in your life if you knew you could give someone else that task and they would execute on it. What would you do with that extra time? Would not having to face the things you don't like doing give you back some of your precious time and energy? What sort of positive domino effect would not having to do that thing have on your mindset and your life? Asking Others For Help Isn't About Weakness Really, it's about prioritizing your time. Asking others for help with the things you don't love doing can free you to focus on the fun parts, the things you feel the most energized and excited about, and the things that can really move the needle forward for your business. Hiring someone to spend an hour or two each week focusing on the things you feel anxious about has such a positive impact on your energy and your motivation! I strongly encourage you to read “Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork” by Dan Sullivan. In it, the author shares tips and strategies for asking others for help with the areas that drain your energy, so that you can spend more time focusing on the things you're really passionate about! You don't have to grind harder, and you can get more done in less time!

Barry Barrett, a Certified EOS Implementer As an EOS Implementor in his company, Business With Purpose, brings dedicated support to Leadership and Sales teams in all types of organizations, helping them structure the six key components of their business to make it operate with the best processes for their specific industry, using the EOS Model. Barry's energy is contagious no matter if he is in a session with a client, giving a keynote address, or rolling up his sleeves in a workshop. Barry is a business coach with his positive mental attitude, incredible work ethic, and determination for excellence, his results-oriented approach is matchless. Barry is driven, caring, and passionate; traits that he uses to help his clients grow their businesses in a positive way. Find Barry's other episodes https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=barry+barrett (HERE.) Key Talking Points Processes- often the most neglected of the key components of EOS. Documenting doesn't have to involve every single detail. No more than 5 pages, 1 page is ideal. Delegate and elevate to someone's genetic encoding. Also helps with scaling the business to multiple locations. 20% documented, 80% follow by all- don't expect to follow 100%, you'll end up frustrating everyone. Rigidity is the enemy of production- need flexibility.    Scripts (professional presentation)- learn it word for word then can free up brain to think and listen to others Example: Service advisor sales process- incoming call (what is the call trying to achieve? Get the right customer in, keep the wrong customer out. Use the presentation, get the key information, set a specific appointment, invite them in), reception, inspection, post-inspection presentation, reselling of value, 3-day call, 30 days follow up call  “Systemize the predictable so you can humanize the exceptional.”   Who should create the process? The people doing the process so they own it and have buy-in. They are also the most qualified since they do it every day.   Core procedures- identify core processes, document, and package Leadership team- IDS (identify discuss and solve) the procedures and train.  Best way to get started? START! What are your top 20 processes? Don't procrastinate.  What do you learn from processes? Repeating multiple steps and inefficiencies . EOS Life- do what you love, with the people you love, making huge impact, being properly compensated, and having time for other passions Link to Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork https://www.amazon.com/Who-Not-How-Accelerating-Teamwork/dp/1401960588?keywords=who+not+how&qid=1617816743&sr=8-1&linkCode=li3&tag=remarkableres-20&linkId=0b7a9bdac4ba9bedf3e058062205c1e1&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_il (HERE)   Thanks to Barry Barrett for his contribution to the aftermarket's premier podcast.

In March 2016, he launched a lead generation training program, Prospect Social, for real estate agents where he assisted real estate professionals by leveraging targeted social media advertising and using a marketing funnel to generate qualified leads. In 2019, Ravi launched Scaling with Systems, to help generate qualified leads for businesses and to provide trained virtual assistant staff to interested clients. He also helps businesses automate their marketing and other business processes to save their time.Listen in as they discuss:Rovi's journey in Scaling Systems.The process of hiring exceptional virtual assistants.How does Scaling with Systems work?The process of training virtual assistantsAnd, more!TIP OF THE WEEKMark: My tip of the week is just going to scalingwithsystems.com, and get to that next level without having to spend hours and hours, weeks months in frustration hiring, firing, and training people that may or may not work. They're already there for you, already trained. Again, we can always make more money, we can't get more time: know the value of your time! They want both of those big things in life to be solved; they want their money problem solved and their time problem solved. Scaling with Systems can help you do both.Scott: My tip is a book, I love this book and the concept, it's called Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy. Basically, the gist of this book is, there are many times as entrepreneurs we take it all to ourselves to figure out how to go-do something and when you go to the process and start doing it you keep on thinking “How am I going to do? How am I going to do it?” But what happens in large companies, when the CEO sets a vision, the CEO doesn't say “How am I going to do this?” the CEO says, “Who within our organization's going to do this”. If you're focusing on HOW in your business, you're focusing on the wrong approach. Start thinking about WHO. This book lays out a foundation and a framework to help you do just that.Ravi: I usually just tell people there's going to be a little broad, for some reason you're not going to come pay me, you're not going to come to pay somebody else. The majority of their answers are going to be found on YouTube, I spend probably 1 Hour a day learning something new on YouTube. I just want to challenge everybody here, whatever course you have or whatever you're thinking you want to do, hiring someone or firing someone just look it up on YouTube and see if the answer is there for you. A lot of times you'll see the answer you've been looking for.Isn't it time to create passive income so you can work where you want, when you want and with whomever you want?

A lot of different people will tell you a lot of different keys to success in life. The focus is very often on how to be successful. You may be encouraged to be disciplined, get an education, make your bed, and on and on. The how to success is no doubt very important. You and I need to work hard and do the things in our own lives that will make us successful. But this focus on how often leads you to taking on the world alone. Doing this leads to burnout and limits vision to what you alone can do in your days and weeks.  With today’s podcast, I have an equally important question for you. Who do you need to help you succeed?  This week I’m reviewing Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork, by Dan Sullivan. This excellent book makes the case for why the people around you are so vital to your success. It discusses how to share the load with others, so you can do your best work, and ultimately transcend anything you could’ve done alone. This is a fantastic book, I hope you’ll join me!

Episode: 135 Darren Smith Join your hosts, David Pere and Alex Felice, with their guest Darren Smith as they talk about flipping houses, building the team, private lending, and so much more. Eliminate, automate, and delegate are the three key points to one of Darren's most important focuses of work. In this episode, he'll talk us through some of the processes he takes when making sure he gets everyone going in the right direction and places the right people behind particular goals.   Most success, for Darren, isn't always all about the shiny and grand plans to achieving wealth, fame, and financial freedom. Rather, it is often about the most mundane and practical takes towards reaching targets and objectives. He believes focus and consistency, if not two of the many factors, are the most staple when trying to succeed in just about anything.   As someone who has already had the experience, Darren acknowledges two things when it comes to private lending. For him, it is an option that carries a lot of promise; at the same time, a tool that every real estate investor should be cautious and smart about.   About Darren Smith:   After serving for over five years in the Army, Darren has spent the last seventeen years buying and selling real estate around the country. His true passion is helping people with their homes no matter their situation and then helping the neighborhood by fixing up the homes he is able to buy.   His dedication to the credence that “Every Seller Must Benefit!” is the guiding force that has allowed “Sell My House to Smith” to grow into the premier home buyer in El Paso and Pueblo counties. Darren's greatest achievement has been to surround himself with an incredible team of industry and military veterans who are every bit as passionate about helping people as he is.   Outline of the episode:   [03:24] For anyone planning to invest outside their local area. [06:43] On transitioning to phone visits. [10:05] The value of real, social, physical relationships. [18:02] Find an area you hate and hire someone to do it. [21:28] How do you hire the right one.
