Today’s episode is huge. Nathan Brooks is like a celebrity for me. He’s the CEO of his own company Bridge Turnkey Investments, and he’s basically automated his excellent leadership into a successful investment strategy. He started out as a musician and wanted to be a rock star, but how he got into real estate investing is really inspiring.
You’re going to hear how he transformed his company by focusing on the excellence of his team. Nathan calls it a “renaissance”, and in reality that’s exactly what it is. He overhauled his entire business model, all the way down to the specific tasks of his each of his employees. He learned what it truly means to manage and lead a team. Nathan breaks down all of the individual processes he put in place in order for his turnkey investment strategy to be as successful as it is.
Nathan has a trick for focusing on just one thing. I know that seems impossible when you have 45 to 50 things to do every day, but this meditative technique for being present in the moment is truly valuable. If you’re able to check in with yourself every day and be present in the specific moments that means the most, then you are truly a success story. Focus on just one thing and you can really develop the real estate investment strategy you envision for yourself.
