This would be a long post; but, if 1 individual benefits from this, I am happy. I always tell my clients/students to focus on what they are best at. Meaning If they are good at real estate investing, they should focus 100% of their time in real estate investing. Or if they are good Physicians, they should focus 100% on doing that. Once you start diverting from what you are best at, you start losing money. If in your free time you start mowing your yard, you have lost oppurtunity to make even more money from what you are best at. It might seem you are saving money, but in reality you are losing money. Some individuals here are doing 2 jobs to make ends meet. Try focusing on your skill that produces the most monetary value to you and double down on it, instead of doing odd jobs. Companies are cutting costs to keep up with inflation. They are dropping quality. All you need to do is provide better quality of service and you will make it. Happy Saturday Winners! ps: Thank you AutoZone

Well done

My goodness. Everyone wrote them off a couple of years back. Including me. But they bounced back unbelievably.

Prior to Bravura, I had 6-7 different companies which all had success in their own way, but none were largely successful and in many cases ended in complete failure. After each failure I would learn how to come back bigger and better, however, never did I think that I could reach the heights that my partner jace cunnane and I have reached. So, after a year of being in business I wanted to take some time to reflect on some things I’ve learned along the way. Networking is the key to success in any industry, and I’ve found that the utilization of old and new connections is a large part of our success at Bravura. Fostering new and unique relationships, especially with those who are like-minded, helps lay down the stepping stones towards success. Resource management is also vital for any business, whether that be how you allocate your funds, utilize your assets, or manage manpower, all are so important towards longevity. Allocating funds properly is much easier in the beginning, however at scale you run into issues like overspending which I had never imagined to ever be an issue. Manpower management and being able to properly manage your employees is another skill that does not come overnight. Being able to properly manage your relationships whilst maintaining success can prove to be a difficult task, but this task’s success is vital for the growth of the overall business. Finding people to outsource to and training people to do your job is part of the beauty of starting your own business. Being a good leader and teacher is important in this regard, lack of this gives your business a lower ceiling thus holding you back from your business’s full potential. Finally, after being in the social media space for almost a decade, I’ve come to realize the sheer power of media. Your life can be changed overnight by just one post. That being said, I am so thankful to be given the opportunity and the ability to master social media. I cannot wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for our journey towards success here at Bravura.
