Let's Talk Real Estate Investing with Sharon Vornholt

This is a brand new year, and today I want to talk about setting yourself up for success.

New year, new you....what exactly does that mean? It means that you have a chance to start this year with a clean slate. Whatever happened last year is in the past. We all get to start fresh.

If you make some changes, you can definitely be a better version of you 12 months from now, and I guarantee that your real estate business will be better as a result of making these changes.

One of the things I'm going to talk about the importance of knowing your "why", and how that will keep you pushing ahead on those days when you feel like throwing in the towel (hey we've all had those times).

I will also talk a bit about what I think is the best way to set AND achieve your goals, and I have 14 tips tips for you to help you become your best version of yourself.

I have been investing in real estate for about 2 decades now, but it was 10 years before I ever wholesaled a house. I was busy rehabbing and buying rentals. Truthfully, I just never thought about it.

Wholesaling houses is a concept a lot of new investors have trouble wrapping their brain around. Even seasoned investors don't always wholesale houses. I hope this article today will help simply the process for you. Wholesaling is one of the many strategies that you can use to buy and sell property. It is by far the quickest way to make some fast cash using little or none of your own money, and you don't need good credit. Listen in to find out more details.

If you could use some help talking to sellers when you get them on the phone be sure to head over to the Louisville Gals Real Estate Blog and pick up a copy of my Property Information Form. It's completely free, and it's a great way to make sure you get all the information you need about the property.

The topic of today's show is all about Gen Z and how they are changing the way we do business.

This is the first generation in history to be born into a world where everything is digital. They have never known another way of doing things. Because of this, business is changing rapidly. As investors, we have to change if we intend to be in business 5, 10, or 20 (or more) years from now.

Simply put, Gen Z will not do business with anyone that cannot meet their needs.

Exactly Who is Gen Z and why Should We Care?

According to Forbes (2015), the generation after Millennials, Gen Z, which they define as people being born between the mid 1990's and early 2000's, make up a whopping 25% of the population. This makes them a larger group of people than Baby Boomers or Millennials.

These are the folks that will define how we do business going forward. One thing is for sure; to survive we will have to be sure our businesses serve this digital segment of the population.

As entrepreneurs, we often feel like we are alone. In reality, many investors are actually solopreneurs. That's the way so many of us start out.

Building a successful business isn't something you do alone. You need a team. No matter what stage of business you're in, having an accountability partner is a no cost way to start to build your team.

Even if you have someone that does some of the day-to-day tasks in your business, we all need someone to bounce ideas off of; "a big picture thinker" (like us) in our life.

In this show. I have some tips on not only how to find an accountability partner, but how to find the right accountability partner. I'm also going to tell you how to set some boundaries so that this relationship works for everyone.

Today's show is on direct mail marketing. When you decide you need more leads for your business, you will need to increase your marketing.

Here's the question; if you are doing direct mail marketing, will increasing the amount of your direct mail pieces automatically be the right thing to do? And, will it make you more money quickly?

Well, maybe... and maybe not.

I can tell you this for sure, you will have some costs that you may not have thought about.
