In this engaging blog post, we explore the intersection of workplace dynamics, leadership, and humor. Our guest, Allison, combines her roles as a human resources officer and a stand-up comedian to provide fresh insights. Allison’s journey began with an HR internship during college, leading her to a career in human resources. She learned from setbacks and emphasizes the importance of preparing talent for professional roles. She often talks about ‘elephants in the office,’ referring to unaddressed workplace issues. Leaders often avoid these conflicts, but Allison encourages courageous conversations. Building strong relationships allows for addressing conflicts effectively. These conversations promote growth, reflection, and breakthroughs. Authenticity and empathy transform workplace dynamics.

In this insightful blog post, Erica Brown shares her experiences and the valuable lessons she learned while building a six-figure real estate portfolio. She highlights five critical mistakes to avoid: Waiting Too Long to Ask for Help, Taking on More Projects Without Proper Systems, Not Running Numbers by Experienced Investors, Operating Outside Your Strengths, and Investing in Personal Growth. Remember, success in real estate is about learning from mistakes and prioritizing people over profit. Align your strategy with your life stage, and you’ll be on the path to building a thriving portfolio.
In the experimenting stage (0 to $250k in annual revenue), focus on defining your business model, pricing, and answering key questions. Rely on your existing network and referrals. As you move into the growing stage ($250k to $750k), master your marketing message, build systems, and start assembling your team. Focus on infrastructure, such as automating sales processes and client onboarding. Finally, in the scaling stage ($750k to $1M+), multiply your impact, shift to a CEO mindset, and build a scalable company. Think about HR, finance, and company growth strategies. Remember, each stage requires different strategies. Identify where your business stands and make informed decisions accordingly.
