7FF 299: What to Do When House Flipping Gets Hard (And Life Gets in the Way)

December 2, 2019

About This Episode

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

For me, spending time with loved ones, eating great food, relaxing and enjoying the company of friends and family is what it’s all about…

…and I’m thankful my real estate investing business has given me the freedom to be present for these experiences.

But that wasn’t always the case.

When I first started flipping houses, I had to give up a lot of my free time.

I was working more, not less.

There were a lot of ups and downs.

The other day, I was chatting with Shannon Amos, a member of the 7 Figure Runway group.

She’s a couple years into her house flipping journey…

…and she’s going through many of the same ups and downs I went through.

She’s had some huge successes…

…and some setbacks and challenges.

I asked her to jump on the podcast with me and tell her story.

We’re digging into a lot of things in this episode…

…but the one thing that stuck out to me the most from our conversation is her perseverance and her never-give-up attitude in the face of challenges in her business and in her personal life.

If you’re feeling burned out…

If you’re feeling stuck…

If you’re feeling like life is getting in the way of your real estate investing business…

…then get ready to be inspired!
