Terry Royce got his start in real estate in 2008. He has closed over 500 deals and just last year he closed 100 deals alone with his team. It took some time to get there. He was the typical entrepreneur that worked 60-80 hours a week and just was too stubborn to learn from his mistakes. It finally took his business partner to put on the breaks and hire team members out so that they could stop wearing all the hats. That’s when it clicked for Terry and he was determined to take it one step further and be able to freely travel while making an income!

Alex had a one-on-one coaching session with one of his ASCEND mastermind members who is having challenges with a new hire (and he has a gut feeling that it’s not going to work out). Sometimes you need to listen to that gut feeling but it’s also just as important to make sure you set your team up for success. Alex shares some of his takeaways from that call in this week’s Q&A podcast episode.

Rob Nickell is the Founder of Rocket Station, an outsourcing firm that helps you find the right VA for your business and structure. So many companies hire VAs or staff without even a job description! This is just setting a capable employee up for failure. You have to spend time creating SOPs so that everyone involved knows how to do their job and stay accountable.

Sometimes, you can find and create creative ways to experience those bucket-list items for free if you think a little bit out of the box and add value to others.

Alex and Steve Cavanaugh talk about how you can work less while making more. Steve believes you can Live Life on Vacation #LLOV. The concept is counter-cultural and counter-intuitive. We are taught every day that we have to hustle at all hours of the night in order to be successful, but there is another way! Join Alex and Steve on this mastermind call and listen to them answer questions from the live audience at the very end! You’ll also discover how Steve was able to use real estate to get himself a FREE TESLA!

Alex is days away from closing a big deal but it’s taken four years to get this far. The lead was even marked ‘dead’ at one point but was revived through an automatic text campaign. The seller went MIA for weeks and when he finally resurfaced, he had a very strange objection for not going forward. Alex decided to try a different approach and use tactical empathy to really understand what’s going on with this seller and because of this, they were able to move forward with the deal.

David Dodge has 15 years experience in real estate but only found out about wholesaling five years ago! He wished he’d known about this niche sooner.

David breaks down this method and explains step-by-step how he was able to achieve this rapid growth.

Alex and his wife recently got back from a six-day event with Tony Robbins (Date with Destiny). It was life-changing, but despite this, there were some people complaining! Alex shares his thoughts on this and an interesting lesson he learned from it.
