"There's no lack of supply of info, there's a lack of supply of execution." - Michael Chow

Success in any business requires the right combination of knowledge and the execution of that knowledge, and that is certainly true in the real estate investing space.

In this episode of the Savvy REI Show, Jose and Khadija sit down with Michael Chow for a wide-ranging discussion about how he manages his real estate investing and flipping business, and how mindset plays a key role in his success. Coming from a large extended family of contractors, craftsmen, and renovators, Michael's journey began at the age of eight when he watched his uncle tear down his house and build a new one in its place.

• You'll learn why Michael keeps his business small and lean working with his wife, as well as how he navigates working with contractors.
• You'll discover how he navigates market fluctuations and why he believes that learning to run your numbers correctly is vital to protecting your investments.
• You'll learn why having a business coach has been critical to Michael's success, and why it remains a key resource for his business.
• You'll also learn why simply having goals is not enough - you need to have a powerful enough "why" behind your goals for them to be most effective.

If you ask a child what they want to be when they grow up, you'll usually get the same answers: Firefighter, police officer, doctor, etc. However, when today's guest was asked that same question at 16, his response was a little loftier: "I want to be a millionaire."
