People are the biggest difference between average and elite businesses. Having the right people in the right roles is crucial. 2. Using behavioral assessments like the Predictive Index can help match people to roles they are naturally suited for and motivated by. 3. Different roles require different behavioral profiles – for example, acquisition managers need to be more dominant while lead managers need to be more collaborative. 4. Self-awareness as a leader is critical to hiring complementary team members who balance out your weaknesses. 5. Having the right strategy and hiring people who can execute that strategy is key, rather than just hiring based on experience or gut feeling during interviews. Get 10% OFF on InvestorLift.

Why 100 Millionaires? Steve saw that assisting someone become a millionaire by building their business is a key measurable to helping them fulfill their dreams. People change and update their visions over time, but having the means to achieve them remains a necessity. Thus, creating millionaires means helping people live their dreams. To further this mission, Steve started the Real Estate Disruptors podcast in 2018 to inspire wholesalers and real estate agents to double their incomes by adding a second leg to their business — working together on investment properties. The podcast has grown to over 100,000 downloads per month and over 3 million YouTube views, with new guests sharing their success stories and imparting advice every week. As a sales coach, Steve has helped thousands of clients generate millions in sales over the past few years in a variety of industries. His Disruptors Selling System teaches salespeople to ethically work with customers to discover their true needs, and then craft a solution that works for the customer. One of Steve’s favorite quotes is from the great Zig Ziglar: “You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” He heard this quote when he first got into real estate, and it has stuck with him throughout his entire career. In fact, it’s one of the core values Steve lives by. Steve is also a successful businessman. On top of owning single-family rentals, he also owns apartments, co-founded a bank, and is a part-owner of several other businesses.
