7FF 287: 4 Laws of Leadership: Interview with Jocko Willink

October 29, 2019

About This Episode

A lot of house flippers and wholesalers do all the work themselves.

They answer the phone calls, they meet with the sellers, they make the repairs, they find buyers, they handle escrow and utilities and so on.

And that’s okay… some investors like it that way.

But if you’re a solopreneur, your business will never grow beyond you.

For most flippers and wholesalers, that means they’ll never do more than a couple deals per year.

Maybe it’s enough to live on… maybe it isn’t.

But either way, it’s a recipe for burnout.

And it’s why so many real estate investors go back to their “day jobs” after a year or two.

If your plan is to build a successful, stable, reliable business that brings in the income you need and frees up your time so you can spend it living life on your own terms with the ones you love…

…then you need to listen to today’s podcast episode.

Why?  Because to scale your business beyond what you can do on your own, you’re going to need to hire and build a team.

And when that happens, LEADERSHIP becomes your most important skill set.

Unfortunately, a lot of investors go into leadership with major blind spots.

Most of us don’t have MBA’s.  We didn’t go to Harvard.  Leadership may not be something we’re used to or comfortable with.

That’s why I asked Jocko Willink to speak at Flip Hacking LIVE a couple weeks ago.

Jocko is a leadership expert, author, and decorated retired Navy SEAL officer.

During his time in combat and as a SEAL Trainer, he developed and refined 4 “laws” of leadership that helped him and his team achieve their objectives safely, consistently, and effectively in the face of deadly resistance.

Today, he’s joining me on the podcast to break down these 4 laws and dig into how we as real estate investors can apply his leadership approach in our own businesses.

Jocko brought down the house at Flip Hacking LIVE…

And if you want to build a business that will last…

…then what you’re going to learn today is mission-critical.
