Bending Rules - joined by "solopreneur" Reynolds Maxwell, a successful commercial real estate investor, shares journey from Corp America into solo entrepreneurship vs joining a smaller co or start-up

Intro: Entrepreneurship is not a "one size fits all" type of endeavor. I have always been fascinated why some people want to build companies and others are more comfortable operating alone. What characteristics make you more inclined one way or another? From Reynolds we learn that teamwork and a reliable network of partners is still vital whether you are a company builder or solopreneur. In either case, one can achieve balance and financial freedom. 1:29 -- Reynold's early career and drive to transition to entrepreneurship 8:02 -- Setting goals to achieve financial independence 11:39 -- From Corporate America to Real Estate, seeding the transition 20:52 -- Identifying a niche market - location, prop type, etc. 31:08 -- Solo Entrepreneur vs Team Dynamics; identifying what best suits you 44:23 -- Navigating set backs and failures in Real Estate Development 52:58 -- Developing a trustworthy financial model 100:02 -- Art of acquisition in business 105:14 -- Final thoughts and recommendations Onward!
