“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” - Anais Nin In this episode, Jake and Gino discuss how values-based decision making has impacted a tough choice they had to recently make in their real estate investing business.  They recently sold a multifamily property in Louisville, KY, which is a rare occurrence as they typically like to hold assets for the long term. There were some changes in the state of Kentucky that did not align with their values. George Washington said “Freedom and Property Rights and inseparable. You can’t have one without the other.” We value freedom and property rights and therefore, it was time for us to walk away. We challenge you to begin creating core values for your business, if you haven’t already. If a situation arises that is not in alignment with your values, then you can act on it and continue to live by those values.   Key Insights: 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Why values-based decision making 02:01 Non-alignment with your core values can cost you dearly 03:42 How to figure out your core values 06:18 How Jake & Gino apply values-based decision making in their Multifamily deals/transactions 11:40 The 100 Year Mindset 14:38 “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” - Anais Nin 19:15 Your happiness with your spouse is most important 21:10 You need clarity to design your life 23:20 “We see the world, not as it is, but as we are──or, as we are conditioned to see it.” - Stephen R.
