BiggerPockets Business Podcast

28: Marketing Funnels, Automation, and an Actual 4-Hour Work Week with Ryan Dossey


Listen Later

Whoa! Today's episode is a masterclass in building a business that runs without your day-to-day involvement.

You might have heard of Ryan Dossey the real estate investor, but today he takes us behind the scenes of Call Porter, his live call answering business, employing 27 people in St. Louis, Mo.

You won't find Ryan in the office, though. He lives 1,800 miles away. And because he's put an executive team in place, he can focus on his "superpowers": content marketing and big-picture strategy.

You'll love hearing Ryan's tips on how to keep remote employees accountable, why "core values" aren't B.S., and how to screen potential mentors/coaches to make sure they know what they're doing.

This is a seriously inspiring episode, and you'll walk away ready to automate and delegate those tasks you've been meaning to get off your plate.
