Listen Later

Author, Family Man, Creator of ‘Wake Up’ and Star of Undercover Billionaire, Matt Smith and his right hand woman and wife Jenny Smith join the show today to discuss their success on Discovery Channel's season 2 of The Undercover Billionaire and what it is really like to work alongside the world famous Grant Cardone. They reveal what it's like working as a couple, life lessons to teach you children and why you need to learn in order to grow.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • If you are a couple and working together in business you have to make sure you define your roles. Let each other succeed in what you both do well in. Find that balance and make sure you over communicate everything so that neither one is out of the loop.
  • For anyone starting out on their property business journey, the best advice is to just get out there and do it. You spend so much money a year on realtor fees, get your own license if you live in the US and then invest, invest, invest!
  • The hardest part of starting a business journey is just doing it. Take a leap of faith and you will figure everything out along the way. An entrepreneur jumps out of a plane and builds a parachute on the way down. You can then learn from any mistakes you make and get stronger and better along the way.
  • A great life lesson to teach your children is making sure they tell themselves that today is going to be a great day no matter one. Secondly, teach them to always see things through. Don’t quit when you face difficult challenges, make sure you see it through until the end.
  • The main reason that people are not as successful as they could be is that they spend too much of their energy thinking about what they can’t do and they don’t attempt things. Just go for it and you truly will figure things out along the way.
  • Everybody has a little entrepreneur in them but the large majority of the population is too intimidated to take that plunge. The small percent of people that take their chance to just go for it and are willing to learn. Nothing will ever be perfect, no matter what you do so just be willing to learn and you will continue to grow.
