πŸ”₯ Content Chapters! πŸ”₯  (04:11) – I was a "retired investor" who invested heavily in the early 2000s only to hit the 2008 downturn and lost everything. I have finally gotten over it and am going to restart on Jan 1, 2022. My question is, where would you start first and what niche would you start in?  (07:33) – I have a lead generation question ..as we go into the new year we are looking for whether we should focus on PPC and paid ad generated leads or put more invested energy into organic direct connection and referral leads? Thoughts  (12:35) – Focus is an extreme issue for me and it's affecting our entire business. I am able to help our team members stay on target with tasks but not growth and I am not able to myself. Feel like I've lost months and months of not moving our business forward. What should I consider to get my focus back?  (17:13) – I heard "Rumble" is the new YouTube. What do you guys know about that?  (18:31) – Do you guys hold annual events or team get-togethers and why do you do them?  (21:33) – What are the minimum number of dials per day that you should expect from your Acquisition Team (not your VA's but your in-house team)?  (24:00) – I have owned my company for the last 8 years but the last 2 have been very unfulfilling! There are days I don't even want to go to the office. I miss the energy and excitement I had when we started. Any thoughts on how I can get that back?  (28:37) – I promoted one of our acquisition guys to team leader and he is simply not leading. He wanted to be the team leader and communicated how excited he was and how committed he was going to be. But... the truth is the effort is not there. I can't tell if he is incapable and simply lacking the "how," or if he doesn't care and doesn't want the role. We like him and he has been with us a while. How would you communicate with him to figure it out?  (33:27) – This is a very vulnerable topic for me to cover but I will give it a shot! I truly do not have a support network. I have not been able to balance deep relationships with people and manage my business and family. Those business contacts that I do reach out to generally want me to buy their program or mastermind. But I watch what seem to be close relationships that other colleagues have with each other that seem genuine and collaborative and they voice public support for one another. How do I find and foster that?  (39:16) – The culture in our company is not very motivating. Sometimes even toxic. How do I change that?  *******************************************************************  πŸ’₯ Trained Virtual Assistants πŸ‘‰ https://REVAGlobal.com πŸ’₯ JOIN Our Facebook Group! πŸ‘‰ https://bit.ly/fcbfbgroup πŸ’₯ LIKE Us On Facebook! πŸ‘‰ https://bit.ly/fcbfbpage πŸ’₯ SUBMIT a Question For The FCB Team! πŸ‘‰ https://bit.ly/fcbfbquestion πŸ’₯ FCB Gear Is Here! πŸ‘‰ https://bit.ly/fcbmugs

New Year business goals, unaggressive sales and acquisition teams, and dealing with leadership issues
πŸ”₯ Questions from our listeners: (05:30) – It's the 1st week of the New Year and I have not begun my New Year resolutions. How do I get started so that I don't fail? (10:33) – What is your most valuable routine? Something that you do on a very consistent basis? (13:00) – I am a one-woman show and am looking to build my team in Q1 of this year. Who would be your first hire and why? Thanks and I love the show! (15:15) – I have HedgeFund buyers in my market that are making very absurdly high offers on retail properties only to get verbals then beat the seller down another 20-30%. Is there anything I can do to compete with this B.S. strategy? (19:21) –  I don't feel as a leader that anyone cares what I have to say. No matter what methods I try, consequences, performance systems to enhance skills, daily reporting to answer to, or motivational support ...it does not seem that I can affect change. What other approaches would you try? (22:03) –  Hey guys, I am stuck in a little pickle... I have done pretty well in my business and have recently been bought out for a $10m buyout, however I’m a bit miserable. I’m finally understanding what people meant when they said β€œmoney does not buy happiness”. Any thoughts on how to find something to fill the huge void I am feeling? (26:25) – How does transactional funding work? I have an interesting wholesale deal that requires me to buy and then resell. (31:47) – I’m not a morning person, yet I hear how you have to get up at crazy times in the morning at 5:30, 4:30 am and I even hear people getting up at 330 am. Is this right? (36:25) –I hear how important it is to grind. Then I hear that you shouldn't grind. Then I hear you should be working only a few hours a week to be healthy. What are your thoughts on how many hours a week you should work? (40:39) – Do you guys set weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly goals for each of your businesses? If so would you share some? (42:17) – My existing sales and acquisitions team is simply not aggressive enough and I am struggling with how to move forward. I care about them and want them to succeed but they simply don't understand the effort required to succeed at their role. It sounds easy to just say let them go. Can you give me some advice to make it feel easier? πŸ’₯ Trained Real Estate Virtual Assistants πŸ‘‰ https://REVAGlobal.com  πŸ’₯ FREE Download (100+ Tasks to Have Done-For-You By Virtual Assistants) πŸ‘‰ https://ThinkREVA.com πŸ’₯ JOIN our Facebook Group! πŸ‘‰ https://bit.ly/fcbfbgroup  πŸ’₯ LIKE us On Facebook! πŸ‘‰ https://bit.ly/fcbfbpage  πŸ’₯ SUBMIT a Question For The FCB Team! πŸ‘‰ https://AskFCB.com
