Angela shares her experience in the real estate industry, including owning a successful Remax office and selling over $2 billion in real estate. She also talks about her transition from real estate to starting an insurance company and eventually pivoting back to real estate investing. Angela provides insights into the current real estate market and emphasizes the importance of understanding different investment strategies, such as tax lien investing. Additionally, she discusses the benefits of becoming a bestselling author and offers advice for individuals looking to grow their businesses or make a career change. In this conversation, Wes and Angela discuss various ways to gain knowledge and mentorship without spending money. They also talk about the value of charging for your unique perspective and approach, even if information is available for free. Angela shares her plans to reach a broader audience through speaking engagements and podcasts, and offers tips for speaking for organizations with limited budgets. They also discuss the importance of educating people about alternative investment opportunities, such as real estate and tax lien investing. Angela emphasizes the need for simplicity and action when it comes to managing money. Takeaways Real estate is always a good investment, but it's crucial to do thorough research and understand the market before jumping in. When transitioning to a new career or starting a new business, it's important to take time to heal and find your identity. Identify your strengths and weaknesses and focus on what you're good at. Don't be afraid to hire others to handle tasks that are not your strengths. Tax lien investing can be a lucrative investment strategy, but it requires knowledge of the process and understanding the rules in different states. Invest in your own education by seeking out mentors, absorbing educational content, and investing time in learning and growing your skills. Consider bartering or trading services with mentors or experts in your field if you can't afford to hire them. Having a book can provide credibility and open doors for speaking engagements and other opportunities. Prioritize self-education over excessive consumption of non-educational content like TV shows and movies. There are various ways to gain knowledge and mentorship without spending money, such as bartering and accessing free online resources. Charging for your unique perspective and approach is justified, even if information is available for free. Speaking engagements and podcasts can be effective ways to reach a broader audience and establish credibility. When speaking for organizations with limited budgets, consider alternative forms of compensation, such as books or access to a database. Educating people about alternative investment opportunities, such as real estate and tax lien investing, can help them achieve higher returns. Simplicity and action are key when it comes to managing money.
