Investing in real estate and business is SO HARD, right? Actually, its really NOT!
Join Luke, a Montana based business owner and investor, each week as he talks about investing in business and real estate from personal experience and the experience of others.
Today I am pleased to share an interview I did with JD Monroe. JD is a very active real estate investor with projects going in multiple states. JD shares with us his journey into real estate investing and how he navigates his military career, family, and investing.
Dustin honored me with being on the show! He has a truck load of experience in starting, scaling, and fixing businesses. Every time I talk with him I learn something new. I am super excited for you all to hear Dustin and the great nuggets he drops in regard to being a business owner, teams, family, creativity in business, and more!
P.S. go check his BusterBurg Youtube channel out!!!
Melissa is a good friend of mine who has been CRUSHING it in her real estate investing business, not just in 1 or 2 markets, but 3!! I am so excited to share this interview with all of you! She has TONS of business and life experience which made for some great multi-generational insight into "why" she and other successful business owners do what they do.
Here is a quick little bonus episode talking about the transition to more interview style in the show. Starting with Ep. 20, most of the shows going forward will be interviews with other investors and business owners. This change came out of having clarity in knowing myself better.
I can not tell you how many people came up to me this weekend telling me that I have impacted their life. How did I do it? By telling them I love them. No, not out loud. Through my eyes and my smile. Even though this was the first time many had met me, I had impacted through life through video. They knew I cared about them. You can have that same impact on people!
Whether its time or money, we want more of both, right? I am in working on bettering my systems. I am doing that by evaluating my input into my processes, seeing what the output is, then digesting the feedback in order to make my processes more efficient. The goal here is to decrease my input while increasing the output (aka more time, and more money)
I got a couple new haters recently. The logic behind their argument is comical to me, but for a moment, I allowed doubt to creep in. I was reminded however, that I don't need their permission to be successful, to add value to others, or to provide for my family! I have FAITH that what I am doing is the right thing for me to be doing.
After the doubt crept in, I ran through everything I have faith in really quick so I made sure to crush that doubt. I have faith in my support system, my teams, my businesses, my family, and most importantly, myself and my God.
Regardless of what you you believe in, where is your faith lacking? Do you truly believe you are doing the right thing? Do you believe you can be successful?
Don't let the haters push doubt into your mind!
My 3 year old taught me how he handles tigers...I mean obstacles in his life...he just KICKS THEM IN THE EYE!
What tigers do you have in your life that you need to just go up to and kick in the eye?
Private money is a type of financing that can be used to acquire real estate or businesses. First and foremost though, it's a relationship. You have to establish the relationship before you can correctly utilize private money. Let's talk more about it!
Let's talk about Driving for Dollars (D4D for short). This is probably the most popular lead sourcing strategy used by real estate investors. It is especially effective when it is outsourced (we will discuss that as well).
Let's dive in, shall we?
I was feeling overwhelmed by business, life, health, and relationships. Maybe you can relate? I had to take a few steps back and remember why I do what I do and what the core elements that are required to make it all happen.

I just got back from and event....no a reunion in Dallas called the Kingdom Connect. I made so many new connections and solidified others. I networked with people doing 6,7, and 8 figures in their businesses. (both real estate and non). I am only a few days out from the weekend and have already had MASSIVE clarity in my businesses. Things are about to get shaken up! I cant wait to share over the next few weeks and months as it unfolds!
The point I am trying to make is, put yourself in rooms with people at a higher level than you are at so you can elevate yourself and your business!

I have been searching for a way to verbalize what I want to accomplish in my life. I heard someone mention "multi-generational family mission", a mission or identity that a family consistently builds upon every generation.
That got me thinking, what can i build that can be passed down and include all future generations of the Anderson family? Once, I figure that out, how do I immortalize that? How do I make it a tangible, visual things?

I have learned a lot over the last couple months! One of which is how fast your pipeline of leads can dry up when you lose focus! I am excited that things are getting back on track and the leads are starting to come in again!
Believe me when I tell you that I am guilty of it! I have lone-wolfed it many times and for very extended periods. I have #hustled and #grind for a long time, and you know what? It DOESN'T work!
After hustling and grinding just about killed me...twice!...I decided to become a student again so I could relearn what it truly means to be a business owner.

I am so excited for 2019! We ave some very exciting things coming up this year. One of which is bringing on a new team member. A personal assistant to help implement systems in my businesses. I put this person in place to help alleviate some of the burden and to help ensure I don't fall into that "Hustle and Grind" mentality.

People like to over complicate business and especially real estate. I GET it! I have done that before PLENTY of times. When you really boil it down though, its pretty darn simple. Add value to people and your business will grow.

Why are some folks stuck on the idea of creative financing? Shouldn't we be looking at ALL options when working with a seller?

So I went to this event...no mastermind... er family reunion? I don't know what to call it really, but it was awesome! It was a gathering of like minded individuals, most from a community called the Kingdom Real Estate. I was able to rub shoulders with many people doing big things in real estate investing, business, and life in general. I highly suggest you look for events and people that you can surround yourself with that will elevate you and your business endeavors.
Let me know if you would like more info on the Kingdom and their events.
