Listen Later

Everything you have today is a direct result of everything you were working on 5 years ago.  If there’s something you want in this life, you have to say it out loud, write it down, and then work your ass off.  Today’s guest is the epitome of what happens when you live your life in this order. 

Dan Costantino is a Real Estate Investor, Family man, and currently has over 700 doors in Real Estate under his management.  He operates various Real Estate Funds, Syndication Funds, and is a hard money lender. Dan hails from the beautiful state of Pennsylvania where he’s begun the process of investing across state lines and in this episode, he’s going to share how it’s easier than most know. 

Today, Tom and Dan have a candid discussion about corporate America’s work ethic compared to the everyday entrepreneur.  They discuss the differences between being a Visionary and an Integrator and how to leverage these key positions to create powerful opportunities in any organization. Dan shares a story about putting too much on one utility employee that caused him immense pressure ultimately affecting his attitude at work. Dan shares the revelation he had at this pivotal moment and how it changed the culture of his business.  Tom and Dan discuss the benefits of flips, and how to turn active real estate into passive income to create bandwidth. Tom and Dan discuss why creating specialists in your company and assigning duties that position puts everyone in a position to win.  Dan shares why he’s passionate about disseminating information to the masses and why theory is an ineffective mission in creating a powerfully community focused life.

Favorite Quote:

“It’s tough in a small business, because when you’re a small business, you have this mindset that you need to have more people that do many different things. I am finding that the specializing requires you to hire more people but specializing has really been eye opening to me. It’s really worked a little bit better, and you can train them, and they can become better in their component.”
