The Greatness Machine

TGM Classic | David Osborn | Fuel for Success: Like Father, Like Entrepreneur


Listen Later

If asked, most entrepreneurs would describe themselves as mavericks, rebels, or even ‘unemployable.’ They possess a unique combination of drive, ambition, and intelligence that makes working for someone else difficult if not impossible.


This burning desire to go their own way means that entrepreneurs tend to take an unusual approach to education. Such is the case with today's guest.


In today's episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius chats with David Osborn, a self-proclaimed 'chaotic entrepreneur' and principal owner of the 6th largest real estate company in the US, with 4,500+ agents responsible for over 19,000 transaction sides and $10 billion in sales in 2017. Born in the US but raised in Europe, David was selected as a National Merit Scholar, he attended the University of Texas and graduated with an economics degree.


You'll discover a little about David's unusual background and his belief that entrepreneurs often have an aggressive father in their background to inspire them.


You'll find out why he started working in real estate with his mother almost as an afterthought, with no plans to stay in the career.


You'll learn what it truly means to 'pivot' as an entrepreneur and how he's used it to achieve great success.


You'll also discover the power of investing in passive income vehicles as a way to ensure success and weather crises.


Join Darius and David as they map out the unusual path of an entrepreneur, and discuss why money should be more of a means to a goal rather than a goal in and of itself.


Topics include:

  • How growing up in Europe gave David an appreciation for the US, and how he ended up working in real estate almost by accident
  • What it means to ‘pivot’ as an entrepreneur
  • The importance of investing in passive income vehicles.
  • And other topics…
