17 - Women in Business
Running a real estate investing business is not that different from any other kind of business. All businesses have ups, downs, and selling cycles. On this episode, Rachel Jones of Method Fitness YYC Calgary joins us to talk about her experience becoming a woman in business. As a new business owner, she talks about learning the process organically by surrounding herself with mentors and strong work culture.
Rachel started her journey during the pandemic. Taking on the responsibility\\xa0during a difficult time provided many struggles, but her optimism in \\u201clooking at the bigger picture\\u201d helped her develop resilience\\xa0and a successful business model. Natalie and Rachel discuss the importance of perseverance and having a contingency plan.
\\u201cIt doesn\\u2019t really matter what the product is that you\\u2019re selling-\\xa0 it\\u2019s the way you approach your business practice. We have very similar business values.\\u201d
In both Rachel and Natalie\\u2019s fields \\u2013 selling cycles dictate the busy times of the year. The influx of covid has increased the cycles substantially, forcing both women to adjust their business models to meet their client demands.\\xa0 For both, strong customer service has been crucial for growing their business. You must put your business first. It only\\xa0takes one bad experience to have a big effect.
Just starting out in real estate? Surround yourself with mentors and people you trust. it will take a lot of time and effort and you\\u2019re always \\u201con.\\u201d You must love what you do and be ready to grind it out. Sometimes you must put your emotions aside and put your business hat on. When you own your business \\u2013 it doesn\\u2019t stop. And you truly learn to love the chaos! Would either of these women change a thing? NEVER!\\xa0
