Listen Later

“Incremental growth is key to success.”

In this episode, Nick speaks with Jason Yarusi, a successful real estate investor and entrepreneur. They discuss Jason’s journey from working in bars to managing multiple businesses, including a property management company and coaching. The conversation delves into the importance of prioritizing family, managing time effectively, and creating a productive morning routine. Jason shares insights on how to navigate the challenges of a busy life while maintaining a focus on personal growth and self-mastery.

What to listen for:

  • We wanted to set a nature where we could spend time with family
  • You have to create the importance level of the things on your list
  • Incremental growth is essential for success in any endeavor
  • Don’t panic; instead, focus on finding solutions
  • Managing panic involves empowering your team to act
  • Stay balanced and avoid getting lost in emotional ups and downs
  • Break down challenges into manageable tasks to reduce stress
  • Goals require actionable steps to become a reality
  • “If everyone in the world took all their problems and put them into one big pile and then took that big pile and split it into even paths and everybody took their problems out from there, the majority of the world would be begging for their problems back.”

    • Our struggles often seem overwhelming until we compare them to what others are dealing with.
  • Recognizing that others might gladly trade places with us helps foster gratitude
  • People naturally adjust to their own challenges, making them more manageable over time
  • What feels impossible to you may be someone else’s dream scenario
  • Instead of wishing them away, embrace your problems as opportunities for growth
  • “Usually there’s three things, maybe four things that you need to do each day that are gonna bring you into a better spot, personally, financially, physically, emotionally.”

    • Prioritize the few tasks that truly impact your life and progress
  • Daily, intentional actions compound into significant results over time
  • Just because you’re doing a lot doesn’t mean you’re being productive
  • Growth isn’t just about work—nurture your body, mind, finances, and relationships
  • Consistency beats intensity when it comes to building the life you want

    Nick McGowan (00:01.902)All right, three, two, hello and welcome to the Mindset and Self Mastery Show. I’m your host, Nick McGowan. Today on the show we have Jason Yarusi. Jason, how you doing today?

    Jason Yarusi (00:12.27)Hey, I’m doing great. Good to be here.

    Nick McGowan (00:14.094)Yeah, I’m glad you’re here, man. I’m excited for us to get in everything we’re gonna get into. We were just talking a little bit about where our stomping grounds are in a sense and how sort of different it was in certain ways. man, why don’t you kick us off? Tell us what you do for a living and what’s one thing most people don’t know about you that’s maybe little odd or bizarre.

    Jason Yarusi (00:32.536)So I am down here just south of Nashville, Tennessee in a town called Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I invest in apartment buildings. I’ve brought a commercial real estate for over a decade now. I own about 3,300 units across the Southeast in seven different states. And so that’s our primary business. We have a property management business and two HVAC and plumbing businesses and a coaching business. So that pretty much wraps up from there. What’s odd, you know,

    I met my wife in 2003, it took us over a decade to actually become a couple, but we worked in a bar together for over a decade before we actually became a couple. So that seems it. And she ends up being from Hawaii and I was from New Jersey, meeting in New York City and now we’re in Tennessee. So as random, we were the only New Jersey, Hawaii couple here in the state of Tennessee I’ve found.

    Nick McGowan (01:24.173)That would be a little out of like, so where are you two from? Jersey, Hawaii, how the hell did you get to Tennessee?

    Jason Yarusi (01:29.742)Pretty much every every conversation who asked that yes, yeah 100 %

    Nick McGowan (01:34.143)And so I’ve never been to Hawaii. My partner lived in Hawaii for a little while. Her family lived in Hawaii for a while. And every time I hear about it, there are just different parts of like the different almost environments that there are on the different islands and how everything’s vastly different. And I’m like, but I’ve never been to any of them. So how is it that that your wife went from Hawaii to New York to Tennessee?

    and how did you all get to Tennessee and why not Hawaii?

    Jason Yarusi (02:06.69)Yeah, mean, so theater, right? So she moved to New York City for school through theater, right? And so theater, she did theater there and she moved to LA for a little bit. And as many happen in the arts, you you find your way into working into something else. And so she started working in bars, right? So she was working in a bar in New York City and I ended up, I was traveling around, I moved into New York City, just doing odd jobs. And I ended up coming to the bar she was working at, right? And so that’s how I ended up there.

    Nick McGowan (02:10.038)Okay.

    Jason Yarusi (02:36.268)And then at a certain point, she moved back to Hawaii and I was still working in New York City and her and I started connecting and we ended up meeting out in California and becoming a couple before moving back to New York City and then moved out to New Jersey to work and run the family construction business before moving into real estate. And one day we said, you know what, we should think about moving some places. And then on the cusp of that,

    hurricane, or what’s called COVID came around, right? And in COVID, we had three little kids, they were in and out of school. It was just chaos. just like, it was just, nothing made sense. So we were like, well, this is a great time to decide to move. And we were thinking, not Hawaii, we were thinking Phoenix, Denver, or Nashville, right? And Phoenix, was just all desert. We’d like the kids outside, just for some reason, we ruled that out.

    Nick McGowan (03:20.653)Hmm.

    Jason Yarusi (03:27.47)Denver, we were out there a lot for all kinds of, know, speaking things for real estate. We just, for some reason, had had enough with Denver and lo and behold, we had a bunch of property down this way and we had a couple of friends who were in select cities around Nashville and we had just actually brought an apartment building in the city of Murfreesboro. So we said, let’s move down there. And I had been there, but Pee-wee, my wife, moved down here, basically sight unseen. With the premise, I was like, listen, let’s just go there. And if we like it, great. We ended up.

    we did, right? But if we didn’t like it, no harm, no foul, we’ll move somewhere else. But moving back to Hawaii, she hadn’t been there almost in like 20 years now. Her whole family’s still there, but she hadn’t lived there. But it’s whole different world, right? It’s great to be there. We take the family out there. We’ll go once a year until we stay somewhere around 10 or 12 days. And then her family can come and visit out here. But it’s not the place we chose to live today, not to say that I ever said I would live in Tennessee. So tomorrow could be a whole different story.

    Nick McGowan (04:24.556)Sure. Yeah, I’m sure it’s also a lot different. Just living on the islands, like the amount that things cost getting things to you. There was somebody I talked to recently where they were getting some new stuff for their podcasts, like getting them set up and we’re working through that stuff. She’s like, well, it takes like an extra two, three weeks to be able to get ...
