Welcome back to The Think Bigger Real Estate Show. I'm your host, Justin Stoddart and I'm fired up about today's episode, it's going to teach you as a real estate agent, how you can gain leverage by getting on the other side of the transaction to where you become not only a marketer of properties of servicing buyers and sellers, but you becoming an investor as well without having the typical means that you think you need to have in order to become an investor.
Justin Stoddart
So before I get into that, let me remind you that if you go to thinkbigger.realestate, you can sign up for a weekly summary, that will give you all the episodes that happened that particular week, and links to the episodes that are most relevant for you and your business. Additionally, I want to remind any of the audience that may be listening from outside of the Portland market, that if you're looking for a good lender, or licensed real estate agent, I'm not one, but I'm happy to make a referral and introduction to one. So if you have anybody moving this way, please reach out to me, I'm happy to make an intro on your behalf. So with that being said, let me let me introduce today's guest, his name is Zachary beach. He is a phenomenal individual. He's He's the co author of a book called the new rules of real estate investing, actually had one of the other co authors on previously, maybe some of you got the book at that point I did I read the whole book, I can't say that about every book that I promote on the show. But this one caught my attention all the way to the end. Because it really opened up a whole new paradigm as to how one can be an investor before they think that they could have been an investor. So you're gonna want to get your hands on that, again, the new rules of real estate investing, I'll put links in the show notes. And then at the end, we're going to talk about a webinar that you can get on. If you're like me, and you're you're very mobile. And sometimes sitting down to read a book can be challenging actually actually read this on a vacation. That's how I made time for it. But oftentimes, I've listing the book. So if you're wanting to get information, there's going to be a webinar they're going to talk about at the end. So stay tuned to hear all about that webinar that will again teach you to get on the other side of the transaction, which can be the more lucrative side of the transaction. So with all that said, Zachary beach, today's guest, he is a coach, he is a partner, and he's an investor smart real estate coach, calm. And, Zach, you want to thank you for coming on to the think bigger real estate show today.
Zachary Beach
Hey, Justin, thanks for having me on. You made me sound terrific. Maybe a little better than I am. So I very much appreciate the introduction and I'm super grateful for being on your show.
Justin Stoddart
You know, I I love the branding that you guys have your your your shirt, I want to pay special attention fact up. I'm going to remove your name here for just a second so people can see it. Wicked smart, this is your tribe, right? A tribe of people that subscribe to your way of thinking that have become investors at a scale they didn't think they were able to invest at now these these people are wicked smart. Right? And that's kind of the conference that you guys host. This is this is your tribe. Is that is that correct?
Zachary Beach
Yep. The Wicked Smart Community and we are from New England, which makes it even better. So we should just remove the our it's wicked smart. Yeah, so these are the the associates that we partner with around the country. And we lock arms with and that we help complete these types of transactions by buying and selling on terms, which we can certainly dive into. And then we lock arms to help them scale a business as well.
Justin Stoddart
I love it, man. So exciting. Let's, let's get into this. Again, the purpose of this show is not just to help people build great empires, big income, have success, but it's to help them have success and significance, income and impact building not just statues of themselves, but really building great communities. And so I want to talk a little bit about your, your a dad, and you're expecting another child. Talk to us a little bit about how that becoming a father and a good father at that has helped kind of change your perspective on on why business and investing matters?
Zachary Beach
That's a fantastic question. It's actually the first time I've been asked that. Yes. And so thank you. I think we all get caught up in, you know, the monetary value of business. I think it's once you take a step back and you realize what you actually are doing it for is where the significance comes in. That's great that we can make a whole bunch of money, but what are we actually doing that for? What do we need the money for? So actually becoming a father has, I would say, like 10 times my growth, because I gotta learn faster, I have to produce more, and I have to produce it in a shorter period of time. So being a father has, has forced me to get really good at project management, time management, and just overall getting just better at my craft. But it also brings you back down to earth too. Because after you're, you know, you've been, you know, you're out there in the world. And you're you're buying properties, you're, you know, helping people build their businesses, and you're, and you're you're really out in that business world coming back home, brings it back down the earth and makes you realize exactly why you're doing it. And it also brings you back to being present. It's really hard as being an entrepreneur to not think about business when you're home. And I would say that was that's been one of my hardest things as being a father is, is really transitioning from leaving the office and being home. And it's something that I'm constantly trying to master. But it's it's been tough. I'll tell you that.
Justin Stoddart
Yeah, yeah, I think when you're an ambitious professional as we are and as this audiences, there's that that does tend to be a challenge, right is how do we how do we turn it off? To end and and turn on great fatherhood? Right? So we're, we're not there, physically, but our mind is elsewhere? How do we how do we, both of us, right, both our body and our mind, be their present, I found that when I when I can do that, and I and similar to you, I struggle with it. It's something that I'm working on. It's a number of kind of big steps I've taken this past year to help improve that, but it's still a work in progress. But it's interesting how much more I enjoy life. When I do go on all in at home like I do go all in at work and it's there's so much more joy that's not available when your mind somewhere else.
Zachary Beach
Yeah, I was told by a mentor of mine. And he said that if you're really ambitious entrepreneur, you have to be present no matter where you are. So when you're if you're traveling for business, be there be all in there, like you just said, be all in, when you're at home be all in so that way, when you're on the road, you know, thinking about home, and when you're at at the office, or when you're you know, working, you know, thinking about home, so I may I messed that up, we're live, so we'll just keep rolling with it. So with that being said, it's just you have to be, you have to be really present when you're doing work. And you have to be really present when you're at home.
Justin Stoddart
Yeah, it's great. It's great insight. You know, interestingly enough, I had the thought also, you know, we're talking today about helping real estate agents become not just, you know, sellers and buyers agents, but also becoming investors themselves. And I can't help but think of how important...
