Summary
Chris Bello is a Houston-based real estate agent and investor and the host of the Entrepreneur Motivation Podcast.
His journey from employee to entrepreneur is a familiar one to many who have been, or currently are, in his shoes. The Texas native followed his friends and family into the oil and gas industry right out of college for no other reason than that's what everybody else in his circle did.
Right away, Chris realized that he was on the wrong path. He recalls asking himself, "What could there be for me outside of the cubicle?" He began reading books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad and The 4-Hour Workweek. Bit by bit, an inspiring new vision for the future was taking shape in his mind.
"I didn't put all the pieces together," Chris recalls of that time, "but the questions started being asked in my mind."
Chris finally quit his job in 2018 to dive into the world of entrepreneurship and self-development, and hasn't looked back since.
Listen in as Chris shares the practical steps he took to create freedom in his life, including how he set up systems and processes appropriate to his work and lifestyle, the value of the phrase "fail fast, fail often", why you don't have to have the "perfect" plan to start right now, and what it means to embrace your zone of genius while encouraging your team to embrace theirs.
