Ep 161 - Week 23 Recap & Key Takeaways

Hey, everybody. Flip and Danny here, founders of the Freedom Real Estate Group family of companies. And welcome to another episode of our.

Podcast, which is called Freedom through Passive Income.

That's right. And welcome to another episode. And this is one of our live, live, live episodes. And for those of you that are listening and not watching, you'll have to kind of go back and watch this maybe sometime because what you're looking at is a cardboard cutout and not actually flipping Danny. Oh, we had to do that. That was just too funny. Oh, my goodness.

You will understand this once we get to the recap of yesterday's episode.

That's right. That's right. But welcome to. This is week 23. 23. 23. Benti Trace. This is recap and key takeaways. So episode number 155. 155.

Hey, happy fun shirt Friday.

Oh, yeah. You like this one? This is a new one. People keep telling me I can't. I can't repeat my shirt, so I guess I gotta go buy more.

We literally. Our clothes budget. Our clothes monthly budget went up because he's buying fun shirts.

The demand of the. Of our fans. My fans want more shirts.

But this one, if you're watching, it's. It's yellow. He doesn't usually have. Have any yellow shirts. And it's kind of a beach with some palm trees. Yeah.

Because this is because we're moving to Florida.

Yep. I guess. Yeah. It's a color of the sun. Huh? Really?

Yep. And palm trees, because that's where we're gonna have palm trees back here.

Pretty cool. Like, shirt. Sorry, go ahead.

I mean, we had. We've had people say they don't know it's Friday until they see the Facebook post. It's fun Shoot Friday. So I have an obligation.

Yeah, that's right.

To make sure people know it's Friday.

There was a time in which you were going to stop it, right?

Yes.

And you were going to. Sorry, we're just off on a tangent. Go ahead with the recap.

155. There we go. Best way to build trust, Tell the truth. Key takeaways. Tell the truth. Be open and transparent. Be an open book. These are the best and proven means to build trust. Another takeaway is it's counterintuitive to just to be just 100% all out there and talk about your mistakes. People don't want to do it. They have no idea of the impact it has on the business and the trust it builds of people around you.

That is so, so true. Episode 156 is called Shifting the Journey versus the Finish Line. This is actually a popular episode. A lot of people listen to this one and it was a big impact on me as well.

I would put this in my top five out of the 156 we've done for sure.

For the first key takeaway is sprinting to the finish line is a surefire way to burn out before you get there. Pace yourself and enjoy the milestones along the way. And the second key takeaway was stop fixating on finishing at the cost of missing the opportunity to celebrate progress. Really powerful lessons that we personally learned every day.

Episode 157, the 20 Mile March. Some key takeaways. Two teams head out with the goal of reaching the South Pole. The team that made it there and back alive is the team that traveled every day consistently, whether in good or bad conditions. We won't talk about the other team takeaway is consistency in doing ordinary things every single day produces extraordinary results. And that's actually now I wanted to talk about that just real quickly as side conversation is our workout routine. Yeah, it's just I'm doing ordinary things every single day. And the other day I went to do a sit up and I about threw myself through the wall because I didn't realize how easy it was for me to do a sit up anymore.

And this is back flippy. Didn't used to like doing sit ups at all. Especially decline sit ups.

No, no, I don't do ups. I do downs.

I don't know what that means. Let's keep going.

I sit down. I la. I don't do sit ups or layups.

Episode 158. How has the real estate market changed in the last decade? First key takeaway was here in Montgomery County. There was a record shattering year in 2021. The number of sales at the end of 2021 was four times higher than 2011. And secondly, people are able to now live wherever they want because they can find remote work. That's probably been one of the biggest changes over the last 10 years.

Episode 159 Become an accredited investor for under $200. So a key takeaway, you can have a series 7, series 82 or a series 65 license. And that qualifies you as an accredited investor because then the SEC says you are knowledgeable enough to invest in these opportunities and understand the risk involved with them. Another takeaway is our favorite option is the series 65 because it does not require the prerequisite exam and you can take it for under $200.

Yeah. And then yesterday's episode, episode number 160, was our week 23 live update. And this is why we started off our podcast with our cardboard cutouts.

Our Founders Day was actually in May. Both you and I were gone. And so they wanted to. And I say they, our team wanted to do a Founder's Day party because they like parties. And Founders Day, we throw a party for that. And so. And so it actually just happened last Friday, and they locked off one of the rooms. They wouldn't let me in it. That's. That's hard for them to do. And they decorated the room, and in the room was this cardboard cutout. And it just cracked us up. And so we, we all took pictures with it. And our team in the Philippines, they did photoshops of them with us in front of our office here. It was hilarious. It was brilliant. And, but. And then we had to put this in here facing the wall, because it kept freaking us out every time we'd walk by.

Yes. Yeah. We had to bring it as a, you know, something to do on the podcast episode.

We had to make a guest appearance. Yes, exactly. We had to make an appearance.

And the second key takeaway from yesterday's live episode is we are in the middle of doing due diligence and brainstorming and asking a bunch of questions about the short term fund that we're going to launch. And one of the things is that as we're talking about this and putting it into creation Mode, we've had three people say, hey, I've got $500,000 I'd put into a fund like that. I'm like, Bam, we got 1.5 million already just like that.

And it's not even started.

Yep. So it's exciting whenever you have something that you know is going to benefit other people. Pretty cool.
