The Blueprint for Growing & Scaling Multiple Businesses

Ricardo Rosales is a real estate entrepreneur with years of experience in flipping and owning rental properties. Today, he is the CEO of Top Of The Line VA and Prospector Web, which are businesses he built out of the challenges he faced during different market cycles. He is on the show today to tell us more about his journey, what fuels his passion, and how he overcame adversity through the years. Quotables “Pick one first and run with it, so before you diversify yourself into 4 or 5 income streams, make sure you’re good at one, that way you could pay the bills with that.” “Businesses are either going up or going down. There’s not a plateau. There’s no steady state, that doesn’t exist.” “Just go and take action. Go implement everything you’ve dreamed of – if you want to be a real estate investor, go buy something. A piece of land, buy a mobile home, buy a trailer, buy a house, buy something, but go do it and don’t just stay in the planning stages.” Links Website: Ricardo Rosales https://www.ricardorosales.com/ Website: RCN Capital https://www.rcncapital.com/podcast Website: REI INK https://rei-ink.com/
