He provides insights into scaling up through hiring the right people, investing in marketing and leads, and developing processes to repeatedly close transactions.\\n\\xa0\\nTJ has been in the market since 2006.

Just, they bummed me out. I mean, you\'re motivated by two things, right? Pain or pleasure. And the pain of talking to sellers was worse than the pain of having to pay people to talk to sellers." - TJ Kosen\\n\\xa0\\n"Invest in people because yeah, just invest in people. That\'s the only way to get out of doing all the stuff yourself. It\'s going to be a headache. It\'s going to be expensive. It\'s going to be stressful. But, once you hit a certain stress level, just doing more stuff, it doesn\'t actually provide more stress. It just means you prioritize what\'s actually important." - TJ Kosen\\n\\xa0\\nConnect with TJ:\\n\\xa0\\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tjkosen/\\n\\xa0\\nApply to Invest with Taylor at\\xa0www.investwithtaylor.com\\n\\xa0\\nTrack your wealth for free with Personal Capital, go to\\xa0www.escapingwallstreet.com'
