I have been on this entrepreneurship journey for 17 years and what a ride it has been! As a former teacher, every day was fairly predictable (although sometimes the kids can throw you for a pretty big loop). As a business owner, you need to love every day. It’s unpredictable, it’s challenging, it can be difficult at times and exciting other times. I love the fact that I’m building something for myself, my family, my investors, my employees, my residents, and the community. Most of all - I love the journey. Embrace the journey during the good times, and the bad! Welcome to Pillars of Wealth Creation, where we talk about building financial freedom with a special focus on business and Real Estate.

If you own the real estate, you own a business. You need to actively participate in order for it to be successful. The risk of the business is on you and whether you have the expertise to pick the right asset, in the right location, and operate it properly. When looking at the profit to be made, consider your time and what you're worth. You can make more money if you have full control, but your time needs to be considered. Passive real estate is investing. Way less time, but it comes with no control after you make the initial investment. It really comes down to your goals. Are you looking to invest in real estate to gain passive income or are you wanting to buy a real estate business and be in charge of operations?

Over the past few months, the elections have swept over social media and conversations. It’s so easy to get caught up in the frenzy and worry about what will happen if your candidate loses. One thing that I’ve learned is even when the candidate that I want loses, and even when policies are passed that I don’t like, it really doesn’t make a big difference in my life. Don’t let the distractions of the world hold you back from creating the life you want on your terms.
