Description

In this episode, Derek Marlin explores the nitty gritty details business owners and real estate investors need to understand in order to finish projects successfully. 

Two books that Derek discusses in this episode, and highly recommends, are: 

• Traction: Get A Grip On Your Business, by Gino Wickman. This book explores what the author calls the Entrepreneurial Operating System. 
• Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork, by Dan Sullivan. This book is about building a team of people around you that will help you accomplish your goals. 

In this episode, Derek will get into: 

• Using the “blue tape walk” as a way to check your expectations against a contractor's reality. 
• Why you shouldn’t rush into listing a property. 
• The ideal timeline for listing a property. 
• The importance of seasonality.
• Working with an experienced real estate agent to help select the right buyer. 
• The age-old debate of using a general contractor vs. doing the work yourself.
• Delegating responsibilities to your business partners.
• Building the best reputation for yourself and your company.
