Episode Highlights:
[04:23] Discovering Land Investing
Mike details how he first discovered land investing through podcast research years prior. When he and Ligia unexpectedly lost their jobs, it gave them the flexibility to fully commit to their new venture. They decided to try land investing for 12 months, treating it as a full-time job. With help from a coaching program, they were able to achieve early success through dedicated action-taking.
[09:07] Pushing Through Mental Struggles
Ligia shares the mental struggles of transitioning from a steady paycheck to being fully self-employed. Criticism from friends and family added to the self-doubt. She learned to push through fears of failure by focusing on small wins and drawing encouragement from their like-minded community.
[12:55] Coaching as an Investment, Not Expense
Coaching should be viewed as an investment rather than an expense. While coaching programs may have an upfront cost, the return on investment can be significant. By investing in a coaching program early on, Mike and Ligia were able to avoid costly mistakes and the success they achieved outweighed the initial coaching costs.
[13:50] The Importance of Taking Action
Mike and Ligia emphasize that taking consistent action is key to any entrepreneurial endeavor. While research and planning have value, ultimately progress happens through real-world testing and iteration. They advise starting a side business first when possible but also not being afraid to fully commit, as they did, when the timing feels right.
