Taking The Leap From Fired To Founder, with Matt Goodwin

Real estate attorney Matt Goodwin was fired after working at a law firm for six months. Within three hours of getting fired, he decided to start his own law firm. Now he runs a business focused on real estate transactions throughout the state of Florida, with multiple locations in the state. In this episode, he shares how his mindset and his entrepreneur motivation has led him to business success.

Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:

Why Matt had to seek out his own mentors.
How Matt has gone 10x multiple times.
Matt’s mentality of acting like he owned the place even when he was an employee.
How Matt balances his work life and his family life.
Why Matt wasn’t open to all business when he started out as an entrepreneur.

Show Notes:

There’s a certain amount you can learn by just reading, and cold calling people.

If you don’t like to be told what to do or how to do it, don’t be an employee—you’ll probably get fired over and over again!

When entrepreneurs start off, they need one client to give them the margin of time and cash flow they need to pay their bills.

You can get more referrals by narrowing your focus.

Hard times growing up can make a person who they are as an adult.

Entrepreneurs often learn early that they don’t have an employee mindset.

Successful entrepreneurs kill off all alternatives except doing what they have their mindset on.

If you do everything yourself, you’ll learn a lot along the way.

Success with even just one client can give you the confidence and experience you need to market yourself everywhere.

Developing thick skin can help you have greater confidence.
