GRIT: The Real Estate Growth Mindset
Business
In today’s world, there’s a lot of pressure for entrepreneurs to succeed. And when they don’t meet their own high standards and goals, they end up feeling like failures.
But what if we all start celebrating our failures instead? What if we start seeing them as learning opportunities and stepping stones to even greater success?
Failures are a necessary part of the journey. And if we can view them in a different light, it will help us grow our businesses and make them even better.
Brian Charlesworth joins Hannah Bettenhausen, COO at BCrew Enterprises LLC., as she shares her journey from an ISA to becoming the Chief Operating Officer of a Mega Team, her team’s experience in expanding to ancillary businesses, and how her failures play an important part in how successful she has become today.

About the guest:
Hannah Bettenhausen’s parents were missionaries, and she spent the first five years of her life in Zaire, Africa. Then, when the war broke out, they moved back to several places in the US and Canada until they settled in Minneapolis.
Her father always had an entrepreneurial spirit. He started a couple of non-profit organizations and then got into real estate. Hannah helped clean and painted the houses they were flipping. This experience exposed her to the real estate realm and showed her the potential for growth and opportunities.
She then ran a business development center for a Ford dealership for seven years. After that, she worked as an ISA as her department accounted for 30% of annual sales in the entire dealership.
In 2016, she shifted to real estate and applied for a license. A year and a half later, she moved into the operations manager role.
Today, Hannah Bettenhausen is the Chief Operating Officer at BCrew Enterprises LLC, a management company that owns and operates a real estate team, mortgage company, home flipping company, and construction company, along with several other businesses. She is also launching her own podcast, which is tentatively titled Unrisky Wealth.
