BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast - The Science Behind Taking Risks w/ Sukhinder Singh Cassidy

Taking risks may be the greatest key to success. There’s no surprise that at one point, billionaire entrepreneurs were given the choice to either stay where they stood or leap for something greater. This is something that today’s guest, Sukhinder Singh Cassidy, understands. She’s helped lead some of the biggest companies around like J Crew, Stitch Fix, TripAdvisor, and Urban Outfitters (just to name a few). The one thing that Sukhinder has found throughout her years in silicon valley and through writing her new book, Choose Possibility, is that groundbreaking leaders don’t just take one big risk, they take several small ones. This works for real estate investors too. If you’ve just gotten into real estate investing education, the first step for you isn’t to go out and buy a house, it’s to join a meetup, contact an agent, or even join the BiggerPockets forums. These are what Sukhinder calls the “minimum viable choice”. Don’t worry about doing everything, just do something! ~~~~ Join The Official BiggerPockets Facebook Group 👇 https://www.facebook.com/groups/biggerpocketsofficial/ ~~~~ Start Your Real Estate Journey on the BiggerPockets Forums: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums ~~~~ Follow Sukhinder on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sukhindersingh ~~~~ Get Tickets to BPCon 2021: https://www.bpcon2021.com/ ~~~~ Grab a Copy of Choose Possibility: https://www.choosepossibility.com/ ~~~~ Take a Risk Quiz: https://www.choosepossibility.com/risk-quiz ~~~~ Follow Brandon and David on Instagram: @beardybrandon or https://www.instagram.com/beardybrandon/ @davidgreene24 or https://www.instagram.com/davidgreene24/ Episode 495 Show notes at: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show495 0:00 Intro 3:06 Quick Tip 4:11 Finding the Entrepreneurial Spirit 6:35 Sukhinder's First Business 9:22 Small Risks, Big Changes 17:33 Taking The First (Micro) Risk 22:45 Get Smart About the Risks You Take 31:39 Women In Real Estate 39:09 Creating a Framework to Lead 48:49 Hiring and Finding Talent 51:59 Do Great Work for Great People 53:12 Famous Four
