I was speaking at a mastermind event with some top-tier entrepreneurs and noticed a common limiting belief: thinking your product is "expensive." This mindset can sabotage your sales. Here's the deal: if you believe it's expensive, it'll show in your pitch. Conviction sells, so if you lack confidence, revisit and enhance your product until it’s a no-brainer deal. Remember, it's not just about price...it's about value. LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!! ...

Greetings from sunny Cancun. I’ve been here speaking at Hunter Thompson’s mastermind, and it’s been amazing. During the workshop, we discussed a common entrepreneurial mistake: the gap between expectations and reality in sales processes. One attendee was struggling with DM-based lead generation because his VA wasn’t sticking to the script. This caused a big drop in performance. Remember, daily coaching and real-time feedback are crucial. End-of-week reviews just don’t cut it. LEAVE A REVIEW if y...

So, last week at Invictus HQ, I had a sit-down with our leasing agent about our apartment leasing process. Turns out, we were missing out on potential tenants. Only 30-40% of those we show apartments to end up applying. Simple fix, right? Just following up could double our conversion rate. It's all about those follow-ups in business.

Got a friend trying to sell a struggling lodge with $2M debt on a $4M property. With high interest rates, buyers are strapped. How to bridge the gap? Creative financing. 1. Buyer gets $2M loan at 6.5%, seller finances the rest at 4%. Good for buyer, less so for seller. 2. Buyer gets $2M loan, puts $1M down, seller finances $1M at 4%. Better balance for both. 3. Buyer gets $2M loan, puts $400K down, seller finances $1.6M at 4%. Decent deal for both. 4. Contract for deed. Buyer runs the lodge, pay...

These days, entrepreneurs and financial gurus are ditching flashy cars and watches for minimalism and frugality. It's cooler to drive a Toyota and make wise money decisions.

Your success as a founder depends on recruiting talent, aligning them with your vision, and motivating them to achieve your goals. Initially, you might do everything yourself. As you grow, hiring is essential but scary. Don't wait until burnout forces hasty hires. Instead, hire early for opportunities, not just problems. ...

Successful entrepreneurs excel at fast execution. I learned this firsthand at an Austin event when my friend Mikey Terravella's talk on real estate operations highlighted a mistake we were making. Listing all 32 units of a newly renovated building at once gave a bad impression. I quickly adjusted our strategy, creating a sense of scarcity. The key takeaway? Act quickly on new ideas and keep learning. LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!! Let’s Connect On Social Media! youtube.com/antho...
