17 - Women in Business
Running a real estate investing business is not that different from any other kind of business. All businesses have ups, downs, and selling cycles. On this episode, Rachel Jones of Method Fitness YYC Calgary joins us to talk about her experience becoming a woman in business. As a new business owner, she talks about learning the process organically by surrounding herself with mentors and strong work culture.
Rachel started her journey during the pandemic. Taking on the responsibility during a difficult time provided many struggles, but her optimism in “looking at the bigger picture” helped her develop resilience and a successful business model. Natalie and Rachel discuss the importance of perseverance and having a contingency plan.
“It doesn’t really matter what the product is that you’re selling- it’s the way you approach your business practice. We have very similar business values.”
In both Rachel and Natalie’s fields – selling cycles dictate the busy times of the year. The influx of covid has increased the cycles substantially, forcing both women to adjust their business models to meet their client demands. For both, strong customer service has been crucial for growing their business. You must put your business first. It only takes one bad experience to have a big effect.
Just starting out in real estate? Surround yourself with mentors and people you trust. it will take a lot of time and effort and you’re always “on.” You must love what you do and be ready to grind it out. Sometimes you must put your emotions aside and put your business hat on. When you own your business – it doesn’t stop. And you truly learn to love the chaos! Would either of these women change a thing? NEVER!
