I know a lot of entrepreneurs and real estate investors. The ones with the most money have big businesses.

There's no doubt about it. But the ones that I know with the most free time, the most flexibility,

and the least stress have smaller, simpler businesses and portfolios. And interestingly,

I don't see these small investors worrying that they have a smaller net worth

than the big investors.

It seems that they're too busy enjoying life.

Welcome to the real estate and financial independence podcast.

I'm your host Chad Carson. You can also

call me coach. And this is a show all about helping you get out of the financial grind so you can do more

of what matters. Whether you're a brand new listener or a long time listener, it's always an honor to

have you back for another episode. The title of today's episode is why you don't need a big

real estate empire to live the life of your dreams.

So this is another in my series of Best of Coach Carson podcast.

This is actually one of my first three podcast episodes back in January 2019,

and it's since become the fourth most downloaded episode of all time.

And if you've been listening to this podcast at all,

you know a theme that has emerged even since then is the idea of a small and mighty investor,

an investor who maintains a small portfolio, whether that's one, two, three properties,

maybe 10, 20, 30 properties, but they have enough. They're not necessarily going for the most

properties. They're going for the most life. And that's what this episode is all about, is working it backwards from what kind of lifestyle

you want and figuring out what kind of properties, what kind of portfolio you need to make

that happen.
