Are you ready to make 2024 your best year yet? As the year comes to a close, it's time to reflect on your goals and progress. But don't let missed opportunities hold you back. Instead, take action and set yourself up for success with these three strategies: 1. Establish specific, time-bound, measurable goals that align with your core values and mission. Without clear goals, you're setting yourself up for failure. But with a solid plan in place, you'll be unstoppable. 2. Establish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to track your progress towards your goals. Don't just aim for the stars; set measurable targets to help you get there. This is what separates the successful from the mediocre. 3. Track your KPIs weekly with the help of a senior team member for accountability. Don't let yourself fall off track. With a weekly KPI spreadsheet and a trusted colleague to keep you accountable, you'll stay on course and achieve your goals. These are the same steps we've implemented at Asym Capital and Raisingcapital.com, and they've helped us achieve our goals year after year. So why not give them a try? With a clear vision and transparency into your progress, you'll be unstoppable in 2024. Subscribe to iTunes now, and let's make it happen! Interested in investing with Asym Capital?

In times of change and economic shifts, I’m dialing up one person to make sense of it all… Harry Dent. Harry is a market mover and best-selling author with unparalleled expertise in the history (and future) of the economy. That’s why, today, I interview Harry on what’s been happening in the economy to bring about these unprecedented and uncertain times to make sense of what’s to come. Back in ‘08-2009, central banks were in panic mode and started printing money to avoid recessions… A move Harry STRONGLY disagrees with, and for good reason… Though no one really loves recessions, they’re as essential as booms for a thriving economy. But, those wielding monetary power have been trying their best to delay the inevitable burst of the economic bubble… Which Harry now predicts will hit late 2024… And it’s likely we’re headed for a great depression rather than a small recession. BUT, like businesses, the free market economy thrives on both failure and success… The economy is trying to deflate and we should let it or face an even bigger bust. The bubble is about to burst, so err on the side of caution and take action to protect your wealth. Tune in today to discover how the economy self-corrects and where the markets are headed so you can prepare for the best (and the worst) times ahead!

Have you ever partnered with someone who seemed like the perfect fit, only to later regret it? Unfortunately, this is all too common in the real estate industry since assets are often illiquid. To avoid this, only partner with someone if it's essential for a business-critical initiative. Think of it like hiring an employee - you wouldn't do it unless you really needed them. Partnerships can be far more complicated than hiring an employee. Due to illiquid assets, partnerships can be tricky, especially in the real estate space. Tune in on this episode as I share how partnerships can be the fastest way to 10x your business... ...so navigating this topic appropriately is likely critical to your success as an entrepreneur.

When the markets take a nosedive (or seem to be headed there), I reach out to one person… Adam Gower. With over 30 years of experience, Adam has transacted over $1.5 Billion in assets, raised over half a Billion dollars of equity, and always has the pulse of the market. That’s why, today, I discuss with Adam what’s shifting in the economy that is affecting us as sponsors and investors to rethink how we are raising capital. The multifamily real estate sector is in distress as we approach the next year… And educating investors is no longer just about raising capital—it’s about survival. Interest rates and insurance rates are rising while rent growth slows down—a perfect storm for financial distress. Unfortunately, sponsors who are unprepared for the downturn enter panic mode… And as competition battles for the highest IRR, there’s a lot of overpromising and under delivering. Match this with the fact that investors probably don’t know the technical jargon of an economic downturn and you’re left with a recipe for disaster (and downsloping funds). The key to making it through tough financial times is communication. Long before a downturn hits (or as soon as you’re aware of it), talk to your investors and keep them in the loop. Don’t stay quiet when a deal isn’t panning out and only contact investors for a capital call. Focus on transparent communication and protecting your investors’ capital… That’s what secures your clients for future deals and keeps your credibility intact. So, tune in today to learn how to navigate an economic downturn and make your capital calls count!
