38: Chad Goldwasser: The dos and don’ts when creating your business

What does it take to be a Real Estate Rockstar? Join us as Chad shares his realtor mindset and a glance at his journey to becoming a Real Estate Rockstar.

Chad Goldwasser has seen it all. He has climbed to the top of “success mountain”, and also nearly drowned in the “river of legality”, but there is no man stronger, and the lessons that he shares are priceless. After separating from Keller-Williams and starting his own company with the goal to become a national brand, Chad nearly lost it all. His controller embezzled nearly $500K dollars, and he became a minority owner in his own company. Chad saw an opportunity to learn from the very real lessons of his life, and continue to sprint toward his ultimate goal. In this exclusive interview Chad shares advice on starting your own business, trusting your intuition, watching your money, and the importance of learning through the stumbles of life.
