EP 111 - The 5 Regrets of the Dying
What did you think of todays show??EP 111 - The 5 Regrets of the DyingOn today’s Friday Focus episode, our host, Dan Austin will be discussing the top 5 regrets of the dying. You’re probably asking yourself, “what does this have to do with real estate investing?”. The correlation might not be so apparent, but these five regrets are the main reasons we invest in real estate.Most of our lives are spent chasing money or careers and less time is spent doing what is actually important to us. The point of investing in real estate is to build wealth for you, your family, and your community, so you can live a full life. Hearing what people have to say on their deathbed is an important piece to understanding why you’re in this business and what you want out of it. Our “why” is the driving force for mostly everything we do, and almost all of us share a few common ones. It’s safe to say, if we deduce it down, as real estate investors, all we want is to create wealth and passive income so we can do the things we love with the people we love.So, tune in to hear the top 5 regrets of the dying and how you can upgrade your life to live more holistically to not only gain more wealth, but enjoy it while you’re here.Topics discussed in this episode:Living authenticallyWorking lessCourage to be vulnerableMore connection with friendsAllowing more happinessIf you’re an established investor with money to invest, but not the time, check out the Instant Investor PRO Program! www.collectingkeyspodcast.com/storeDownload the FREE 5-Step Guide To Generating Off Market Leads here: https://www.collectingkeyspodcast.com/freeIf you are interested in learning from Dan and Mike to receive coaching and learn how they built their business, head to instantinvestorprogram.com and see if you are a good fit for the mastermind group!Collecting Keys Podcast Resources:collectingkeyspodcast.cominstagram.com/collectingkeyspodcastInstantinvestorprogram.cominstagram.com/mike_investsinstagram.com/investormandanThis episode was produced by Podcast Boutique http://podcastboutique.com
