#43: The Common Traits of Successful Entrepreneurs, Investing in Yourself and Your Business, and Branding in Real Estate with Justin Breen

This week’s show with Justin Breen is a different one than what usually goes up on the feed… in this episode, Justin and I discuss the most common traits of successful entrepreneurs, how and why networking with more successful people in your industry is so important, and how to develop skills outside of real estate (that will actually grow you real estate business)! While we don’t get into the nitty-gritty of multifamily, what we discuss will help you grow your business just as much.

Justin Breen is CEO of the PR firm BrEpic Communications and author of the No. 1 International Best-Selling Book, Epic Business. Justin is hard-wired to seek out and create viral, thought-provoking stories that the media craves. And he finds the best stories when he networks with visionary entrepreneurs and executives who understand the value of investing in themselves and their businesses. Justin believes strongly in the power of introductions and creates important relationships through those introductions. He is an extremely active member of Entrepreneurs' Organization, Strategic Coach, and Abundance 360, and he has an incredible global network of visionaries and exceptional businesses.
