You have probably heard this from various experienced real estate entrepreneurs at some point in your career. Many would agree with this thesis as it’s easy to fall into the trap of the “shiny object syndrome” when you are not committed to a particular niche.

The Final Four:
1. What do you like to do for your continued education to further your investing?
Kay Kay: “I listen to a podcast every day. Whenever I’m at the gym, I’m listening to a podcast. Sometimes even two a day. The second thing I do is 30 minutes of reading every day. And I write a journal every day.I try to be at least 1% better than yesterday. Before I go to bed, I ask myself ‘what did I do to improve myself today?’”
2. Who has been the biggest inspiration for your success?
Kay Kay: “To be honest, Rod Khleif has inspired me a lot. The very first boot camp he did, I went to.”
3. What advice would you give to the listeners to help them grow their businesses?
Kay Kay: “I would suggest, rather than advise, that anything you do, just invest in yourself before you invest in any real estate or any business. Just learn what you’re going to do before you just jump in.”
