Work On Your Business, Not In It

September 13, 2018 by Kevin

When I started out as a landlord, I believed that it was much more sensible for me to be cutting the grass, fixing kitchen sinks and painting walls.  In other words, I believed that working in my business was a much better use of my time than working on my business.

The exact opposite is true.

How many deals did I miss because my head was under the kitchen sink?  How much cashflow have I missed out on because I was cutting grass?

I will never really know, but hopefully I can help you not make the same mistakes.  So check out this short video about working on your business, not in it.

As I said in the video, I got a new camera for my birthday so I am trying out some new ideas for content here at Smarterlandlording.com.  Let me know what you think or if you have any ideas for future videos with your comments.

    Great advice Kevin. Keep them coming. A lot of real estate investors are guilty of that I guess.

      Thanks Kay!

      I think you are right, especially when getting started. It can be a difficult lesson to learn.
