• WIIRE 142: How To Start Delegating in Your Business
    Sep 2 2024

    One of the things we’re frequently asked is how we knew when it was time to start delegating in our business and exactly what that looked like. So, in this week’s episode, we’re detailing what made us finally pull the trigger and hire out in our biz (both in our personal REI businesses and with WIIRE!) and how we did that. We’re diving into tasks we outsourced and how we trained our new hires to set everyone up for success.

    Plus, take the next steps to getting your REI business super organized (and keeping it that way) and grab our free SOP Templates download!

    We’re so grateful for each of you; thank you for tuning in!

  • WIIRE 137: Ditching Corporate America to Pursue Real Estate with Kayla Pennington
    Jul 29 2024

    Hello everyone, welcome back to another podcast episode! This week we are excited to welcome our friend, Kayla Pennington, an investor in the Louisville, Kentucky, and Nashville, Tennessee, markets. Kayla also attended one of our WIIRE retreats and joined us earlier in 2024 in CEO Bootcamp.

    Kayla started in investing journey in 2022 and now has 6 doors after ditching her golden handcuffs with a multi-six-figure job in medical sales. She decided to pursue real estate investing and entrepreneurship and is now scaling her REI business like a true CEO. It wasn’t that she didn’t love her job, but she learned that she was outgrowing it and the company was heading in a different direction than what she wanted out of her own life. She made the decision to pivot and never looked back.

    One lesson Kayla shares that we think will truly resonate with our audience is the importance of finding your tribe. Being an entrepreneur can be lonely. So find those who lift you up, drive you and keep you motivated to always stay moving forward.

    Head on over to Instagram and see what Kayla is up to next.
