Opening

We\\u2019ve been talking about life and business over the past few weeks and today we have Ron Carucci online to visit with us about start-ups. We discuss several of the misconceptions in the minds of new entrepreneurs, and the mistakes that flow out of those misconceptions. More importantly we discuss how to address them. Ron and his partners work with medium size and larger businesses typically but he was willing to give us 30 minutes of his valuable insight. That\\u2019s coming up shortly. In case you missed it, I want you to pay attention to Zillow. They are a giant among us. You can pick on the Zestimate all you want and I\\u2019ll agree with you that it is not to be trusted. But Zillow is huge and has a ton of cash to work with. That\\u2019s why when they announced recently they are getting into the direct buying space, I sat up and took notice. They have the clout and the national presence to clobber everyone else, I\\u2019m looking at you OfferPad, Knock, OpenDoor, and even Mark Spain with your Guaranteed Offer program. Should these people fold up and quit? Absolutely not. Let\\u2019s all get better at what we do. We are all out there looking for deals and here is the MAIN reason all of these are not going to put us out of business: You ready for this? No, wait. I\\u2019ll tell you after my talk with Ron.

Notes from the Interview (You\\u2019re welcome!) 3 things holding back most Entrepreneurs
  1. Identity - \\u201cWhat is your strategy?\\u201d often yields stock answers like mission, vision, values statements. Usually borrowed, plagiarized or counterfeit. Why you? What are the differentiators?
  2. Organizational Continuity - Processes. Intentional design and deplloyment of assets
    1. 70% of what we do is just necessary to stay competitive and keep the lights on.
    2. Enabling work is what moves us forward. Often these get diluted.
  3. Leadership
Tips for listeners: Don\\u2019t let HGTV seduce you. It\\u2019s not for everyone. If you\\u2019re going to \\u201cjust do it\\u201d, \\u201cjust do it\\u201d wisely. Be thoughtful. Give it a year to work. Ask yourself, \\u201cAm I willing to do what it takes to succeed?\\u201d Scaling is not Growth. Growth is topline increase at the same rate of cost. Scaling is repeatable efficiency. Resources: www.navalent.com/transformation www.liminalspace.org Reinventing You, Dory Clark Rising to Power, Ron Carucci

  • Ebony, Detroit, MI \\u201cHi Roger can transactional funding be used to purchase properties at tax or bank foreclosure auctions? I know transactional funding is used for back to back closings that must take place the same day. I think it would be best to at least ask the homeowner to agree to a thirty day time frame to allow time to find an end buyer. I know the law states that the homeowner who\'s being foreclosed on has a six month redemption period to stay in their home without paying a mortgage, they can reclaim their property and they cant be evicted unless they refuse to allow an inspection or if they damage the property. \\xa0So with that being said can transactional funding still be used as long as the end buyer is ok with purchasing a foreclosure that has a six month redemption period? Or should I check with the companies or local court houses that hold the auctions to find out if transactional funding is allowed for tax and bank foreclosures?
  • Milton, Villages of Ocala, FL \\u201cI need a reputable lender for a rental property. Can you help?\\u201d
  • Jim, West Palm Beach, FL, didn\\u2019t email but from a strategy call. \\u201cI have about 20k to put into a deal and just can\\u2019t find a deal that small that isn\\u2019t in a terrible area.\\u201d
