Offense vs. Defense - #259

Are you playing offense or defense in your private lending business? In this episode, we break down the difference between growth-focused activities (offense) and transactional tasks (defense)—and why finding the right balance is critical for long-term success.

📌 What You’ll Learn: ✔️ How to structure your day for maximum growth ✔️ Why focusing only on transactions can stall your business ✔️ The importance of consistent marketing and investor relations ✔️ Strategies for maintaining momentum year-round

The biggest trap for lenders? Getting caught up in daily transactions and neglecting business growth. We share our personal strategies for balancing deal flow while continuously building systems, marketing efforts, and long-term success.

🔥 Challenge for You: Carve out at least 2 hours a day for growth activities—whether it's improving your website, refining your investor pitch, or strengthening marketing campaigns. Small, consistent actions lead to massive results.
