The real estate investor’s journey requires uncomfortable sacrifices, especially in the beginning. We have to sacrifice time, money and our own comfort to create a business worth having.
The most successful people who came from nothing have faced the tough choice between their immediate financial needs, and the money required to keep the business going for the foreseeable future.
For my guest today, that choice was between paying for electricity or paying his assistant.
He chose to keep his business running while dealing with discomfort in his own lifestyle. In one year, that sacrifice paid off, taking him from a struggling new investor to a budding commercial empire.
What are some of the biggest things aspiring entrepreneurs don’t take into account at the start of the journey? How does Tyler build relationships and generate business?
In this episode, I’m joined by commercial investor, Tyler Cauble. He shares the hurdles he overcame to become a successful entrepreneur at 28.
Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
How to navigate the uncertainty of today’s
market
Real estate is
always going to have cycles and what determines our outcome is our
mindset, not the external circumstances. Instead of panicking and
pulling back, learn from history, and create a strategy to take
advantage of down cycles. You can either have an abundance
mentality, or fall apart and miss out on opportunity.
Why age shouldn’t hold us back in commercial
investing
Commercial
real estate runs on relationships and generally who has been around
the longest. In order to break through and start getting deals,
boost your credibility by sharing what you do and building
relationships through social media. Even if you don’t have the
relationships and a long track record, young investors can still
leverage their social media experience to win.
The key mentality that sets successful entrepreneurs
apart
Discomfort and
sacrifice are a huge part of starting a business. Many people don’t
succeed because they choose instant gratification over the
long-term positive outcome. If we’re willing to sacrifice our
comfort right now, and focus on what benefits the business, we
nurture the mindset that leads to high returns.
