035: Grow Your Business Without Sacrificing Your Life with Alex Pardo - a podcast by Gavin Timms

Alex Pardo’s entrepreneurial life started by wholesaling baseball cards as a kid, but he got distracted by checking all of the boxes for things he “should” do. After college, he took on a corporate job, but it wasn’t long before he realized that he didn’t want to be chained to the W-2 life forever. For him, one of his biggest fears was that he’d look back in the past and regret what could have been.

As Alex so perfectly puts it, “A salary is a ticket to forego your dreams”. That’s when he started to look into real estate as a side plan to escape corporate life. Alex started scaling up his business, but then he realized that that was not the direction he wanted to go into. As you scale, you need more people to keep up with the volume, and then your overhead rises.

He was no longer the one talking to buyers and sellers. He was managing people, and he didn’t love it. Pretty soon Alex felt like God was tapping him on the shoulder to do something different. And part of that something different looked like making more money by scaling down.

Now, in addition to his smaller team, Alex found his passion in helping entrepreneurs get clarity on their vision for their business. He runs an exclusive mastermind named Ascend for entrepreneurs who are serious about building a life around their business. If spending more time with your family sounds like the kind of lifestyle you’re looking for, check out Alex’s podcast Flip Empire.

What's Inside:

• How Alex makes more money by doing fewer deals with a smaller team.
• While scaling down, Alex found that he was passionate about helping other entrepreneurs make that same pivot into living their best life. 
• Why I believe that 80% of what we do is grounded in our mindset.
