How did I reach Success?
Do you want to be a Price Boss?
Yes, I want the Land Investing Secrets!
After 20 years in the corporate world I finally made it to the top. I was Chief Marketing Officer of a global media company with over $1.5 billion in revenue and offices all over the world. After five years on the job, I had already survived longer than the average CMO and more importantly, I loved my job. And then, just like that, it was over. It’s inevitable in the corporate world. Either the company’s financial situation changes, or there is a restructuring, or the company gets sold. That’s what happened to me.
And so at the end of 2015, I found myself looking for my next opportunity. I desperately did not want another corporate job. I was tired of the politics and sacrificing the customers’ experience in order to make quarterly earnings. And I was especially tired of working my butt off so someone else could get rich! I was finally ready to take the jump to entrepreneurship.
Like so many others, I read a lot and started listening to podcasts and eventually, I stumbled upon land investing. I was hesitant at first but the more I studied the business the more it made sense to me. Buy distressed properties at twenty cents on the dollar and sell them fast at eighty cents on the dollar capturing a cool sixty cents on the dollar margin. Or looked at differently, a 300% return on investment. What I like best about it was that it perfectly satisfied the 4 goals I had established for my next career:
- I had to look forward to getting up every morning. If I didn’t enjoy it, I wasn’t going to do it.
- There could be no limit on how much money I made. If I was willing to work twice as hard, I wanted to make twice as much money
- Geographic independence. We live in the Internet Age. I figure that as long as I have a laptop and smart phone, I should be able to run my business from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.
- I can never be fired or downsized.
So I took the plunge. Choose your cliche. I literally dove in head first into the deep end without a life jacket. I burned my ships at the shore.
It shouldn’t have come as a surprise to me (but of course it did), I wasn’t an instant success. It turns out there is a lot to learn in the land business. Eventually though, through grit and determination, I started buying and selling properties. Then I had a home run where I made an eye-popping 3,000% return on my investment. From that point on there was no looking back. As my deal flow grew, I quickly outgrew spreadsheets and post-it notes as the foundational system of my business. I decided to build an end-to-end system that automated and outsourced just about the entire business.
After I finished building the system and used it for a while for my own land business, I showed it to some of my other land investing friends. Their feedback was unanimous – “how can I get that?” I realized at that point that I had a product that could help both new and established land investors massively grow their businesses and achieve the big four goals I established. From these humble beginnings, LandSpeed was born.
