Description: Want to know how to start a business? One that will help you reach financial freedom, find purpose, and give you more opportunity to spend time with your family? Those are the reasons why almost all of us get into real estate investing, and while having a couple of rentals may not sound like a business to you, running your portfolio like a business will have immeasurable effects on your life. But first, you’ll need to know how the pros build businesses. Gary Harper, esteemed business coach, went from a rental property investor shooing away copper thieves to Fortune 500 executive and now teaches other entrepreneurs how to do the same. He knows what it takes to build a successful business, why so many entrepreneurs fail, and how to delegate and eliminate tasks to build a business you enjoy running. Sounds like a dream, right? In this special edition of Seeing Greene, David and Rob will take listener questions on starting a business, building a rental property portfolio, real estate partnerships, and what parents should do when entering the high-stress world of entrepreneurship. You’ll also hear why being fixated on profit could be a BIG mistake. All that and more are coming up in this episode!
