Listen in as your host asks Mark some insightful questions about how he's built his real estate business to a massive level using internet-based techniques. But before launching into that Mark asks Mark (boy, this is going to be tricky) about a few key things that have to be in place to really scale things to another level. FIRST - Learning when it's time to bring on additional help to make your business run smoothly and to free yourself to do the really important things. Mark reveals how he knew when it was time to hire an assistant and how he went about passing along work to them in a systematic, patient way. He also talks a bit about using VA workers in your business for administrative tasks. SECOND - Learning the local market where you're working: How do you learn about the market, what role do local real estate agents play, and how do you go about working the market in an intelligent way? Those are all covered in this section of the conversation. It's worth gold if you'll just apply it.

It's a powerful, positive, can-do blog telling you the practical things you can do to advance your business today. One of his most recent articles tells you why it's important to get started in your investing while you're young. Mark's top articles to read are How to find an investor-friendly real estate agent How much money do Real Estate Agents make?

It's an incredible story about setting goals and working hard to achieve them as Mark worked hard and accomplished his goal within a year. Opportunities are abundant if you are willing to set goals, work toward them, and not give up. Develop tunnel vision to get to the things you want. Mark suggests that you decide what your focus is going to be and focus on that 100%. 20% effort in a number of efforts won't get the same results as an intense focus in one area. Get out there.
