GRIT: The Real Estate Growth Mindset
Business
Being an entrepreneur is a rewarding experience, but it also comes with many challenges. From marketing strategies, hiring the right people for the job, to finding systems and technologies to support the business’ growth, entrepreneurs today have to be resourceful to tackle these problems.
Yet some were able to overcome these challenges before and are willing to share their experience so others can learn from it. It’s only a matter of asking the right people for advice so that you don’t have to make the same mistakes they did.
Join Brian Charlesworth and Matt DeCoursey, CEO and Founder at Full Scale and Startup Hustle Founder and Host, as they talk about Matt’s journey from starting a business with no money or experience to launching several businesses that have generated millions of dollars in revenue. Matt also shares how he uses his podcast as a platform to help other people find success.

About the guest:
Matt DeCoursey believes that he was born to become an entrepreneur. He used to paint address numbers on curbs in high school and do other entrepreneurial activities growing up. Matt had a pretty successful career until he was 30 years old when he found himself unhappy because his work needed him to travel a lot, so he decided to quit his job.
Thirteen years ago, he started a concert ticket buying and selling business online. All he had then was an extra room in his house that he could use as an office and a credit card with an $8,000 limit.
Yet, even without money or experience, Matt understood a market inefficiency when it comes to secondary ticket sales. He used this as an opportunity and built the business, which eventually generated $30 million in revenue over the next eight years. The business also enabled him to launch the businesses he has now.
Today, Matt is the CEO and Founder at Full Scale and GigaBook, Forbes Next 1000 Recipient,
and co-host of one of the biggest podcasts for entrepreneurs out there, Start-Up Hustle. He is also the top-selling author of “Million Dollar Bedroom” and “Balance Me,” as well as the co-author of “The Realist’s Guide to a Successful Music Career.”
Matt’s passion is to talk about entrepreneurship, business, and commerce and has made it his mission to help other entrepreneurs become better versions of themselves and guide them to find success.
