We’re going to teach you how to have productive accountability meetings with your team, and why doing so is important.

Elizabeth Faircloth and Andresa Guidelli are the hosts of The Real Estate InvestHER Show. They have 27 years of combined experience and a portfolio of over $130 million. When they wanted to find a group of supportive women to build community with, they found that such a thing didn’t really exist… yet – so, like any good entrepreneurs, they created it themselves. We talk about making mistakes, future opportunities, and striking a balance that feels good to you.Resources:therealestateinvesther.comInstagram: @therealestateinvestherLearn about InvestHER CONhappynest.comConnect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpVija Williams: @viavijaSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanEmpire Building is a production of Crate Media

Today, we’re going to talk about the one habit that’s guaranteed to make you rich. We’re just going to come out and say it: tracking your net worth. Most of us focus on how much money we’re making, but that’s not what really matters when you’re building an empire. We’re going to share exactly what net worth is (just in case you don’t know), how to track it, and why it has such a huge impact on your finances.Connect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpVija Williams: @viavijaSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanEmpire Building is a production of Crate Media

Finding the right talent will determine if your business succeeds or fails. Every Empire Builder needs to recruit talent to grow their business – some even rely on it as a business model. Many people treat recruitment as an event, but it’s actually better thought of as a process. It should be adopted as a part of your business process. We’re going to share our 3 ‘P’s recruiting framework: Problem, Push, and Plan.Connect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpVija Williams: @viavijaSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanEmpire Building is a production of Crate Media
