Episode Synopsis


Join me and my co-host, Steve Fierros, as we chat with Matt Christensen about the risks every investor should be aware of. Matt is a Commercial Risk Advisor at the WA Group, coaching business leaders on how to structure a risk management program. In this episode, he also tackles on a lot of different kinds of insurance, and policies. 

Why Do We Need to Take our Insurance Seriously?

Having insurance allows you to have a safety net for future possible property damages and losses. There are a lot of different kinds of insurance that are offered out there. It is important to know these and take them seriously because your insurance will save you from potential risks. Thus, if you are not aware of what kind of insurance can help you avoid paying a large amount of money and do not have anyone to advise you, that is a huge loss. You will have to pay for something you could have avoided. 

In the real estate industry, having insurance is essential, especially for small business owners. This helps and provides you protection, financial security, peace of mind, and business stability. I cannot stress enough the importance of having insurance. However, Matt shares a ton of advice and information about this in the episode that you will surely not want to miss. 

Learn by Being Part of the Process

If you want to achieve financial freedom, you must first learn and hone your skills. One of the most helpful ways to do this is by learning from other people and their experiences. Matt said, asking other people you trust to be part of their deals or processes with just the purpose of gaining knowledge is a great strategy that will help you grow. Most people want to help others learn and sometimes show off what they are capable of doing. If they do not want to help you, there are always other opportunities out there and people who might. Never hesitate to ask for help and advice. Find people who are going to challenge, guide, and support your growth.
