Are you listening or are you hearing? This is an important identifier of how you are as a leader. Listening is active. You are interested in the person, their problems, their story. Hearing is passive. You don’t connect with the speaker. Why is this important? Listening makes others feel important. It lifts them up. Makes them feel good about themselves. It makes them feel heard. #leadership #leadershiplesson #leader #inspire #leaders #motivation #listeningskills #nelsonmandela #activelistening...

Are you a risk-taker? Or are you risk-averse? That is the beginning of the defined line between an entrepreneur and an intrapreneur. An entrepreneur... ✔️ Builds a business that can sustain ✔️ Can take calculated risks ✔️ Handle extreme responsibility An intrapreneur does not like to take risks. But, they act like an entrepreneur within the organization they work for. Meaning...they aren’t selling time or skills because time is limited and skills are a commodity. Not all people can be entreprene...

Which would you choose to invest in - real estate or stocks? In my opinion, you can’t do better than investing in real estate simply because of the leverage you get from it. It’s true that you can leverage stocks, but the market is more volatile. In the end, you end up putting more of your own money into the market versus what you would put in for real estate. At the end of the day, I ask myself this - what am I comfortable with? #realestate #investment #invest #investor #investing #business #st...

How can you ensure that your investments make you money? If you don’t know what hedging is, I encourage you to read up. Hedging is simply the idea of betting on two uncorrelated resource classes. For example, maybe you invest in real estate and oil. If the real estate market drops, probably it won’t affect oil prices. Essentially, you’ll still be making money. What do you think? Is this a wise investment move? Listen to more of my response here. #realestate #investment #invest #investor #investi...
