Summary

Are you looking for an awesome business opportunity in the real estate space and need some motivation to find it? Have you wondered how you can use your interest in real estate to generate additional income that you can then use to buy real estate? Or are you just looking for some motivation to start and grow a business that can generate millions of dollars per year? Whatever your motivation, this episode is for you! Steve Strauss -- founder of Sign Central -- figured out how he could build a 7-figure business helping real estate developers, agents and investors market their products. And at the same time, start building his own real estate portfolio. With nothing more than determination, dedication and LOTS of hard work, Steve was able to take a part-time side-hustle working for someone else, and grow a multi-faceted business that now serves some of the largest real estate developers in the country. In this episode, Steve tells us how it took him a decade to go out on his own, but then how he went from side-hustle to big business over the course of just a few years. He tells us how building relationships has propelled his business success, and has helped him nab some of his largest clients. And how effective networking can be the difference between a stagnant business and one that starts to grow -- and keeps growing -- quickly! Steve then talks about how he was able to take his company from 2 employees to 12 employees, virtually overnight. While it may seem like a daunting task, Steve provides the single biggest key to achieving this growth with minimal headache and minimum financial risk. And make sure you listen to the end, where Steve talks about how he helped his community during Covid, but did so in a way that has brought him additional business and is likely to benefit him long into the future.
