The Big Sky Investor Show

Today I am pleased to share an interview I did with JD Monroe. JD is a very active real estate investor with projects going in multiple states. JD shares with us his journey into real estate investing and how he navigates his military career, family, and investing. 

Dustin honored me with being on the show! He has a truck load of experience in starting, scaling, and fixing businesses. Every time I talk with him I learn something new. I am super excited for you all to hear Dustin and the great nuggets he drops in regard to being a business owner, teams, family, creativity in business, and more! P.S. go check his BusterBurg Youtube channel out!!!

Melissa is a good friend of mine who has been CRUSHING it in her real estate investing business, not just in 1 or 2 markets, but 3!! I am so excited to share this interview with all of you! She has TONS of business and life experience which made for some great multi-generational insight into "why" she and other successful business owners do what they do.

Here is a quick little bonus episode talking about the transition to more interview style in the show. Starting with Ep. 20, most of the shows going forward will be interviews with other investors and business owners. This change came out of having clarity in knowing myself better.

I can not tell you how many people came up to me this weekend telling me that I have impacted their life. How did I do it? By telling them I love them. No, not out loud. Through my eyes and my smile. Even though this was the first time many had met me, I had impacted through life through video. They knew I cared about them. You can have that same impact on people!

Whether its time or money, we want more of both, right? I am in working on bettering my systems. I am doing that by evaluating my input into my processes, seeing what the output is, then digesting the feedback in order to make my processes more efficient. The goal here is to decrease my input while increasing the output (aka more time, and more money)

I got a couple new haters recently. The logic behind their argument is comical to me, but for a moment, I allowed doubt to creep in. I was reminded however, that I don't need their permission to be successful, to add value to others, or to provide for my family! I have FAITH that what I am doing is the right thing for me to be doing. After the doubt crept in, I ran through everything I have faith in really quick so I made sure to crush that doubt. I have faith in my support system, my teams, my businesses, my family, and most importantly, myself and my God. Regardless of what you you believe in, where is your faith lacking? Do you truly believe you are doing the right thing? Do you believe you can be successful?   Don't let the haters push doubt into your mind!

My 3 year old taught me how he handles tigers...I mean obstacles in his life...he just KICKS THEM IN THE EYE! What tigers do you have in your life that you need to just go up to and kick in the eye?

Private money is a type of financing that can be used to acquire real estate or businesses. First and foremost though, it's a relationship. You have to establish the relationship before you can correctly utilize private money. Let's talk more about it!

Let's talk about Driving for Dollars (D4D for short). This is probably the most popular lead sourcing strategy used by real estate investors. It is especially effective when it is outsourced (we will discuss that as well). Let's dive in, shall we?
