EPISODE 187: Have you ever been burned by a bad partnership?

You're not alone. Pretty much every entrepreneur learns the hard way that not everyone can be trusted. From employees who overestimate their role to friends who try to take advantage of your success, building relationships in the business world can be tough.

You need someone who has your best interests at heart and who you can trust completely. And that’s exactly why more and more entrepreneurs are turning to fractional business partners!

Here to explain everything you need to know about fractional business partnerships is Elizabeth Mahusay. Elizabeth is an experienced business coach and fractional business partner who helps her clients uncover what’s holding them back, overcome mental blocks, bounce off ideas, and determine their next steps. She uses a holistic approach that considers the personal lives of her clients to ensure her strategies fulfill ALL their needs.

Ready to take your business to the next level with a partnership that WORKS?

EPISODE 186: Many real estate investors think foreclosures are too messy to touch. But this week’s guest proves they’re actually some of the most profitable deals in real estate.

David Randolph has spent 15 years perfecting the art of short sales - a real estate strategy that’s not just about profit but also about helping families in foreclosure.

He breaks it all down in a way that’s easy to understand, even if you’re new to the concept. Short sales, as he explains, aren’t just about buying houses for less than they’re worth—they’re about stepping in to stop foreclosures and negotiating directly with banks to create win-win scenarios.

Beyond the basics, David shares some jaw-dropping success stories (like buying a house for $29,600 and selling it for $275,000!) and his favorite tricks for getting banks to accept lower offers. He even offers a free two-hour workshop to teach you everything you need to know.

If you’ve been curious about adding a powerful new tool to your real estate toolkit, this is the episode for you.

Click play and discover the secrets to making short sales your next big win!

Key Takeaways:

• 00:00 - Intro

• 00:58 - David's background and 15-year journey in real estate

• 07:43 - David’s unique definition of a short sale

• 10:07 - Strategies to find short sale opportunities

• 14:24 - Steps to negotiate with banks

• 21:06 - Expected timeframes for closing deals
