    Time Management Built My Business (While Working 9–5)

    Let me be real — when I was starting my business while working a full-time 9–5, time management wasn’t a “productivity hack.” It was survival. I had to counterbalance my life. I’d leave work, come home, and go straight into my business. No time for anything else in that season — because I knew what I was building. And the crazy part is… that season is what gave me more freedom later. Even now in business, it’s still the same principle: I spend time on the right tasks today so I can free up more time tomorrow. In this episode, I talk about: What time management really looks like when you’re building from zeroThe “work → home → business” season (and why it’s normal)Why priorities matter more than motivationThe tasks you must do now to buy your time back laterHow time management becomes freedom if you stay consistent If you want a follow-up with the exact framework/schedule I used, comment or message: TIME

    Why Most Renovation Budgets Are Wrong (And What It Really Costs)

    Renovation budgets don’t go over because of bad luck — they go over because the budget was wrong from day one. In this episode, I break down why most renovation/rehab budgets miss the real costs, and what renovations actually cost in real life. This is based on real-world construction experience — not online averages or “price per square foot” guesses. In this episode we cover: Why “$ per square foot” budgeting usually failsThe hidden domino costs that show up after demoWhy labor is the real budget killer (not materials)Common line items people forget (permits, subs, surprises, delays)How I build budgets today to avoid getting crushed If you’re flipping houses, buying rentals, or renovating your own home, this will save you money, time, and stress.

    Everybody online says you can buy real estate with no money… but most of the people talking about it have never actually done it. In this episode, I break down exactly how I bought real estate with $0 out of my pocket — not using fake guru tactics, not wholesaling hype, and not TikTok shortcuts.

This is a deal I personally did. 📌  In this episode, you’ll learn: • The 3 real ways to buy real estate with no money down • Why seller finance is the most realistic path for beginners • How I structured my own deal with $0 down • Why I actually got paid at closing • What sellers are really looking for (and why they say yes) • How to find sellers who want terms instead of cash • The exact line I use when making no-money-down offers • Why most people fail trying this strategy • What TikTok and fake gurus don’t tell you • How to know if a deal actually works (it’s math, not magic) If you’re starting with no money and want to get into real estate the right way, this episode will save you years of confusion. 🎧  Listen to From Zero & A Dream on all platforms Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2WT9QUhLIfyKroyya17IId Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-zero-a-dream/id1836844727 📲  Follow me on Instagram for daily real estate + mindset content: @mr.propertyO https://www.instagram.com/mr.propertyo
