Does fear get in the way of how you do business? It did for Bethany Finch… and it caused her to lose a $64M real estate deal.
In this episode of The Real Estate Mindset podcast, Eric and Ben chat with Bethany Finch about the benefits of giving back to your community when you’re a business owner. With a lot of the aspects of the real estate business being relationship-based, ensuring you’re giving out your resources for a cause will help you out in the long run.
In Bethany’s case, she gives back by providing financial literacy resources to those who need them and the opportunity for tenants to purchase her properties for a lesser amount, in exchange for sweat equity.
We also discuss how Bethany overcame fear in business, what her morning routine is like, what success means to her, and how she believes that the bigger the price tag of a mistake is, the better the lesson learned from it is.
