Whether you’re a new real estate investor or you’ve been investing for a while, taking some time to evaluate your big picture in terms of being a business owner is important. As you probably know, there are pitfalls that can occur for business people no matter how long they’ve been in business. However, when you periodically evaluate, prioritize, and focus on the big picture, you’re more apt to experience the results you’re after.
With this in mind, remember that as a business owner, one of your goals is to work “on” your business, and not overextend yourself working “in” it. One thing that will help you with this is learning how and when to delegate responsibilities and tasks.
Delegation
Maybe you’re not some huge corporation that has many roles to delegate, but as a business owner, there are certain things you either don’t like doing or perhaps could delegate to free up more of your time for more strategic things. Keep in mind that you’re a visionary and not just concerned about today. As a leader, you ought to be thinking about long-term goals, as well as short-term goals. So many businesses spend a whole lot of wasteful time trying to get their business off the ground doing the wrong things. This does not have to be you.
As the owner of your business, don’t fall prey to thinking that you’re the biggest employee. Yes, you are an employee, but you’re also the owner and leader, and if you get comfortable as an employee, you might negate your role as a leader.
Focus On Your Big Picture
As a leader, spend time focusing on the big picture when it comes to your goals, strategies, priorities, teamwork, ways to increase profit, and accountability. Sure, you can learn how the various roles in your business operation. However, the key is to delegate some of the responsibility to others so you can take more time to focus on the most important tasks to increase your cash flow.
For example, you’re going to be renting homes, most likely, with a lease option. Rather than you going to the home and getting it ready to lease, hire someone to take care of that for you. Let them know what their responsibilities are, like making a list of all the work or repairs that need done and getting them taken care of. You can also hire a property manager to get tenants in there and take care of the monthly rent and a marketing expert to work on a consistent marketing strategy.
When you hire others to do what they’re good at, you free up your time to do what you’re good at. You allow yourself to go to the next level as a great CEO of your business. And, as CEO, you’re a strategic leader with a successful mindset that will only settle for success. Therefore, delegate and focus on your big picture and just watch how much more freedom and success your real estate investing business experiences.
