Episode Synopsis

Dave Homyak shares how an unfair job evaluation pushed him to leave his engineering career and dive into real estate. He talks about facing his fears, overcoming anxiety, and how he replaced his income in less than a year by investing in rental properties. Dave explains the importance of taking calculated risks, surrounding yourself with the right people, and challenging yourself to do what seems impossible. From climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to starting a virtual assistant placement business, Dave's story is about pushing beyond comfort zones to find success and freedom.Chapters00:00:00 Welcome to the Eternal Optimist00:00:43 Meeting Dave Homyak: From Engineer to Entrepreneur00:01:26 Dave’s Adventure Mindset: From Spartan Races to Kilimanjaro00:02:12 Overcoming Anxiety and Tackling Life's Biggest Challenges00:07:03 The Day Dave's Real Estate Journey Took Off00:09:24 Conquering Anxiety in a World of Change00:10:50 The Big Leap: Transitioning to Full-Time Real Estate00:11:10 Real Estate 101: Breaking Down Cash on Cash Return00:13:26 Navigating the Real Estate Market: Lessons Learned00:17:57 Shifting Strategy: From Cash Flow to Property Appreciation00:18:17 Entitling Land and Partnering for Long-Term Success00:19:57 The Power of a Strong Network and Support System00:21:49 New Ventures, Growth, and Personal Development00:23:01 Unexpected Success: Building a Virtual Assistant Empire00:31:35 Lightning Round: Books, Music, and Dave’s Take on OptimismLinks and ResourcesDave Homyak Dave on LinkedInThe Rockstar VAsBook RecommendationsDie With Zero by Bill PerkinsDo the Impossible by Jason DreesThanks so much for joining us this week.
