1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Success always comes with a price. The question is... what are you willing to pay? In this episode, I share the hidden cost of building a life and business that most people only see from the outside. We often celebrate the wins, but we rarely talk about the tradeoffs—the time, energy, responsibility, missed opportunities, difficult decisions, and constant problem-solving that come with pursuing meaningful goals. I talk about balancing teaching, multifamily real estate, podcasting, waiting tables, surf instruction, family, and everything else that fills my days. Along the way, I reflect on how every &quot;yes&quot; we say is also a &quot;no&quot; to something else, why success doesn't eliminate problems—it upgrades them—and why I'd rather pay with effort than live with regret. Whether you're building a business, investing in real estate, or simply chasing a bigger vision for your life, I hope this episode reminds you that the price of success isn't something to fear. It's something to choose intentionally. Topics include: • The hidden tradeoffs behind success • Why every &quot;yes&quot; is also a &quot;no&quot; • How success changes your problems instead of eliminating them • Balancing real estate, teaching, entrepreneurship, and family • The responsibility that comes with growing a business • Why comfort and growth rarely exist at the same time • Choosing effort over regret Small Axe Podcast: Multifamily Real Estate | Buy Buildings, Build Empires http://smallaxe.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/41965195/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/203796350
