Summary

Want to know how to start a business? One that will help you reach financial freedom, find purpose, and give you more opportunity to spend time with your family? Those are the reasons why almost all of us get into real estate investing, and while having a couple of rentals may not sound like a business to you, running your portfolio like a business will have immeasurable effects on your life. But first, you’ll need to know how the pros build businesses. Gary Harper, esteemed business coach, went from a rental property investor shooing away copper thieves to Fortune 500 executive and now teaches other entrepreneurs how to do the same. He knows what it takes to build a successful business, why so many entrepreneurs fail, and how to delegate and eliminate tasks to build a business you enjoy running. Sounds like a dream, right? In this special edition of Seeing Greene, David and Rob will take listener questions on starting a business, building a rental property portfolio, real estate partnerships, and what parents should do when entering the high-stress world of entrepreneurship. You’ll also hear why being fixated on profit could be a BIG mistake. All that and more are coming up in this episode! In This Episode We Cover: Going from employee to entrepreneur and what to focus on when building a business Scaling a busy business and how to start outsourcing and automating tasks you don’t want to do The “coaches” you can’t trust and signs that a mentor ACTUALLY has experience Real estate partnerships and one of the biggest mistakes you can make when buying a property together The work-life balance lie and what you should be focusing on instead How parents can balance raising kids and building a real estate portfolio And So Much More!
