5 lessons that have shaped my journey as an Income Flipper 🌱
Hey Income Flippers!
I've been thinking a lot lately about lessons learned, little reminders, and things that are really working right now.
Sometimes life has a way of throwing curveballs, and I've had my fair share recently. So, I wanted to share a few thoughts that have been bouncing around in my head.
1) Get your legal house in order.
I've learned that staying proactive with legal stuff is crucial–especially when you're building something new.
It's easy to overlook updating operating agreements or employment contracts to match your evolving vision. Don’t wait until you’re in a bind.
Take a minute to make sure everything is aligned with your current reality. It’s a bit like making sure your foundation is solid before you build higher.
2) Assume the best, prepare for the worst.
People are generally awesome, but life has taught me to hope for the best while having a backup plan.
Think of it as wearing a seatbelt–you don’t expect to crash, but you’re ready just in case. Keep your faith in people, but protect yourself just in case.
3) Reminder: People are watching.
This one’s not so much a lesson as it is a truth: people are always watching.
Whether it’s your team, your peers, or even your family, they’re paying attention to how you show up.
Make sure you’re planting good seeds and staying true to your values. Your consistency will pay off–it’s like watering a plant every day and eventually seeing it bloom.
4) Be kind–You never know what battles others are fighting.
Here’s something that’s been on my heart: everyone’s got something going on.
You might not see it, but it’s there. Be that person who lifts people up, even when you don’t know what they’re going through. A little kindness can go a long way–you never know whose day you’re turning around.
5) Patience pays off.
Sometimes things take longer than planned, and that’s okay. Whether it’s a deal taking longer to close or a project that’s dragging on, don’t lose faith.
Just because it’s taking time doesn’t mean it’s not working. Think of it as planting a tree – the roots are growing even when you can’t see them.
Stay patient, stay consistent, and the results will come.
🔥 Things that are working:
The power of focus
​We made listings the focus this year, and it’s paying off. Giving our leaders that single mission has created real synergy among the teams.
​
It’s like having everyone paddle in the same direction – we’re moving faster and stronger because of it.
Surround yourself with the best​
I keep telling our people that if you want to be the best, you need to be around the best. It’s finally starting to stick, and the difference is noticeable.
​
The energy shifts when people realize they’re part of something bigger–something elite.
That’s it for this week, Income Flippers!
Keep showing up, stay focused, and remember – good things come to those who do the right thing, even when it’s hard.
Keep flipping, keep building, and keep pushing forward.
Until next time,
Rob
