Hearing “no” can feel discouraging, but as empire builders, we know it’s just part of the process. In this episode, we’re diving into how to reframe rejection, embrace the “not yet,” and turn it into an opportunity. Whether you’re building a business, scaling a team, or growing your impact, learning how to handle a “not yet” with confidence is a game-changer.

We share how to shift your mindset, celebrate the “not yets,” and master the art of follow-up. With stats like 80% of sales requiring at least five follow-ups, it’s clear that persistence and relationship-building are the keys to success. From sending handwritten cards to creating thoughtful urgency, we discuss how to stand out and build trust while staying proactive and consistent.

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, February 18th, if you’re in or around Las Vegas! Join us at 3:15 PM at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center for a live Empire Building session, followed by an in-person mastermind to work on your business together.

Are you thinking about buying a business but not sure where to start? In today’s episode, we’re joined by Bekki Lowrance, an expert business owner and buyer who has successfully transitioned from real estate to buying and scaling multiple businesses.

Bekki shares the story of her journey—how she went from taking anything that came her way in real estate to becoming highly selective in her business ventures. She discusses the mindset shift that allowed her to focus on business acquisitions, and how she now buys companies that align with her family’s values and long-term goals.

If you're ready to take the leap into buying businesses or scaling your empire, this episode will give you the clarity and motivation you need to get started.
