Quick Juice Questions
23:24 What is your best tip for those thinking about leaving full-time employment?
Make sure you have a plan, especially if you’re the breadwinner.
24:07 What are the first steps that aspiring entrepreneurs should take?
It’s so easy nowadays, particularly because you have Google at your fingertips. You can learn so much just by watching other people. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Look at what other people are doing and learn from them.
25:29 What has inspired you the most in your journey and where are you most inspired?
Myself. Just knowing that I didn’t have the best background but I was able to accomplish so many things inspires me to do better. I’m more inspired at night because that’s when it’s most quiet and I’m by myself. I can think better at night compared to daytime. Before I start working, I start thinking about the things that I need to do and try to be thankful about the things that I currently have.
27:21 Which book has inspired you and changed your thinking the most?
What to Say When You Talk to Yourself by Shad Helmstetter.
28:06 If there’s one last bit of Executive Juice you can share for people who want to get to the top of their property game, what would it be?
I’m glad that I’ve had a lot of failures. Don’t fear them. A lot of people don’t do what they want to do because of failure. Expect that it will happen. It happens to everyone, multiple times. Learn from it. Don’t think of it as a failure, but as a lesson.
