Key Takeaways: THANK YOU for allowing us to reach the 400 episodes milestone! Alex greatly appreciates you! Alex wants to give you a sneak peek behind a recent ASCEND (members-only) mastermind call. The news just perpetuates more fear and can be very negative. Regardless of some of the tough things that are happening right now, this is going to pass. Mindset is critical in a time like this. Before you make big decisions, ask yourself if it's fear-based or if this is strategic. Are you operating out of FAITH or FEAR? Don't feel prepared? That's what Alex and Steve are here for. Now is the time to step up as a leader. Exercise is so important! Don't stop just because the gyms are closed. Cut out all non-essential spending right now. Make sure you have some cash reserves on hand (both personally and in your business). Survey the landscape and be strategic! Follow-up is gold right now. Keep doing it. Alex is sending a customized two-page mail piece. Communicate with EVERYONE! Over-communicate if need be. Stay connected. Think through if you need to redefine your "buy box". Some courts are closed right now, so it's going to affect your deeds. Transaction coordinator side: babysit your deals to the closing table. Remember, be a professional. Go above & beyond for people. Look at money outflow right now and ask yourself if this expense is producing the results you want? Alex does a quick rapid-fire session on what you should be doing right now. Should you decrease the size of your team? Don't have enough cash on hand? Consider liquidating assets. As of this moment, President Trump is suspending foreclosures and evictions to the end of April. Reach out to your tenants and keep the lines of communication open. Don't try to time the market. Use this opportunity to improve yourself, and tighten up your business processes / systems / KPIs, etc. If you are able to automate your rents, do it right now. If you are considering buying a short-term rental, make sure you have multiple exit strategies.
