Scaling in Real Estate

Hello and welcome to another wisdom Wednesday here at Redwood Prime Reality. Today I want to talk about daylight savings time. If you're like me, you're still smarting from losing an hour of sleep this past weekend. And I was reading u a quote from an Indian chief, unknown Indian chief from what I could tell. Said only the US government would cut off the top of a blanket, sew it on the bottom, and call it a longer blanket. Uh it is kind of wild what we do here in this country, changing our clocks, adding time. I like the extra hour of daylight, but it's really kind of subjective. You You may ask, "What on earth does that have to do with real estate?" Well, what it has to do with real estate is is calling something that it's not. And whenever you're investing in anything, especially in property, it's really easy to forget what it is and forget what it isn't. And uh to use your own skill sets, your own money, your own time to wipe over what that that asset really is and what it's really costing you. So, as you scale your business, it's it's impossible to ignore those things. Whereas early on, it's just as easy to leave your family at home and go fix a toilet in the evening thinking that it didn't cost you anything. But it cost you your most valuable asset, and that's your time. And as you scale, you can't go fix that toilet. You got to pay somebody to fix that toilet. And not only that, you have to pay somebody to answer the phone to call the person to fix the toilet. The bigger and bigger and the farther and farther you scale. So, you know, just like daylight savings time, taking the top of a blanket, adding it to the bottom, saying our day is longer. Uh that's the same thing we do with real estate and with our lives as well, if you really want to go deep that way. We forget what matters so often. And uh it's really a call every day to call it what it is. It's the same blanket whether you put it on the top or the bottom and to really value the things of life that matter to us. And that's going to be up to each individual. But uh that's your wisdom Wednesday all around this crazy thing called daylight savings time. Uh make sure your blanket is what it is and not what you think it might be. You have a great day.
