In this episode of The Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with Tim Francis, founder of Great Assistant. Tim has helped over 800 entrepreneurs and investors hire trusted, high-level domestic executive assistants—not virtual assistants overseas, but real partners who become an extension of you.

Tim's story is remarkable. From losing $350K in the 2008 crash, to developing a rare illness that left him unable to walk for months, he had to rethink everything about business and life. That journey led him to discover the right way to hire and lead executive assistants, and ultimately, to build Great Assistant.

We dive into his hiring process, why most entrepreneurs fail with assistants, and how the right assistant can free you up to focus on strategy, high-level skills, and relationships—the "surgeon in the room" work that only you can do.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed juggling all the moving pieces of your real estate business, this conversation will show you how to scale sustainably.

22:15 Practical example: prepping comps and organizing negotiation notes

25:28 Why you must live out of your calendar, not your inbox

26:49 Expense vs. revenue mindset—why an assistant is a profit center

29:53 Tim's upcoming book: arranging life to minimize regret

Quotables

"Your assistant will always be an expense on paper. But your relationship with your assistant will be the biggest profit center of your career."

"We don't want a clone of you—we want a complement. You throw the balls in the air, and they catch them and close the loops."

"A great assistant isn't about saving time, it's about helping you fulfill your potential in this lifetime."

In this episode of The Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I sit down with Joe Fulvio of CAMA Plan, a leading firm in self-directed retirement accounts. Joe brings decades of experience in strategic marketing and distribution across multiple industries and now helps investors use self-directed IRAs and 401(k)s to unlock new opportunities.

We break down what "true self-direction" really means, how real estate behaves differently inside versus outside an IRA, and the mistakes investors need to avoid to stay compliant. Joe also shares real-world examples of unusual assets you can hold in a retirement account—from dump trucks to coffee plantations—and why due diligence is everything when you step outside traditional stocks and bonds.

If you're curious about using retirement funds to build long-term wealth, this conversation will open your eyes to strategies you can start using right now.

In this solo cast, I'm bringing you behind the scenes of our In the Trenches Bootcamp and sharing the questions I ask every attendee—and the surprising answers I keep getting. Too many investors set goals but stop short of executing, and that's what holds them back.

As you watch this episode, I challenge you to stop waiting for the "perfect time" and start treating your goals as committed plans backed by consistent action. I'll walk you through why most people freeze up, the system I teach for breaking paralysis, and the mindset shifts that separate the top 3% of doers from the 97% of dreamers.

If you've been sitting on the sidelines or if you've been "getting ready to get ready", this episode is your wake-up call to act.

Key Talking Points of the Episode

00:00 Introduction

01:54 The 3 questions I ask every attendee about jobs, goals, and deals

02:49 The surprising truth: Nobody nailed their 2024 goals

05:18 Goals vs. committed plans: Why action is the only bridge

06:52 Why "someday" is a trap and why you need predictable plans now

08:10 How our system works: Done with you, not done for you

09:08 Fear, doubt, and perfectionism: The real reasons people freeze

10:36 The danger of waiting for the "perfect moment" to start

11:28 How to shift from thinking to doing: Breaking goals into steps

12:33 Setting non-negotiable deadlines and building accountability

14:18 The ACAA framework: Action, Critique, Adjust—repeat endlessly

16:06 Why failure, setbacks, and curveballs are part of the process

16:50 3 reasons people fail: no implementation, no support, false expectations

17:52 How to get personalized coaching and accountability

18:31 Final challenge: there are thousands of excuses, but only one action that matters

19:09 Book recommendation: Undeniable by Cameron Haynes

Quotables

"Goals mean absolutely nothing. A committed plan with action is the only thing that matters."

"Action is the only bridge from where you are now to where you want to be."

"Perfectionism is a trap. Progress is what creates confidence."

In this Wicked Smart Master's Class, I sit down with Joe Jensen—a thrill-seeker turned real estate investor who scaled from 5 to 34 units in less than two years. Joe's story takes us from growing up on a rural ranch in Utah, to a decade in door-to-door sales, to building a diverse real estate portfolio that gave him the freedom to raise his kids and live life on his terms.

Joe shares how divorce reshaped his mindset, why leveraging debt safely was a game-changer, and how he used multiple creative strategies such as seller financing, subject-to deals, partnerships, and even buying dirt lots to hit his freedom number within one year.

In this episode, I sit down with real estate investor and entrepreneur Rob Chavez, CEO of Caza Group and founder of the GRID Investor Network. Rob's built a vertically integrated real estate business spanning sales, construction, private lending, investments, and property management—and he didn't do it by doing everything himself.
