Let's talk real estate. Real estate is one of those topics that you should at least know the basics of no matter what your career path is. 

In today's interview, I dive into real estate investing principles with Jeff Schechter, aka “Shecky.” 

Jeff has had the entrepreneurial bug his entire life. He started his first business right out of college, and over the years been involved in numerous businesses ventures. His love for real estate investing began in the 1980’s when he rehabbed 5 of his own residences before the term “house-hacking” even existed.

Since those early days of torn up kitchens and bathrooms, he’s bought and sold many properties and is an active investor to this day.  In addition to investing, he operates a private consulting practice.  He thrives on helping people realize their full potential…not just in business and investing, but in all aspects of life.

Let's talk drop shipping. 

After graduating from college in 2006, Anton Kraly spent $25,000 to buy a delivery route to sell cookies in Merrick, N.Y., a Long Island community. But when Tim Ferriss’s book The Four Hour Workweek came out in 2007, Kraly rethought his business model, looking for an easier way to make a living. Investing $29 a month in an eCommerce hosting package, he put up an online store and started selling his cookies online at a site, called NYcookieshop.com, that he later sold. The new business quickly became more profitable than his delivery route. He and a business partner ran it while traveling in Thailand and Vietnam.

Are you beginning with the end in mind with your business?

Nothing good lasts forever, but often, we think our business will. This talk with Jessica Fialkovich was so insightful on the topic of building a business you can sell. Successfully exiting your business can be a headache, but Jessica simplifies the action steps to make that transition and sale.
