Real Estate Investors: Narrow Your Focus for Greater Success with Pili Yarusi

Let's Talk Real Estate Investing with Sharon Vornholt

I’m sure you’ve heard that entrepreneurs often have “shiny object syndrome”. What that means is we tend to jump from one thing to another often without actually finishing anything.

My guest today is Pili Yarusi of Yarusi Holdings. Pili is a wife and a busy mom of three, so she is as time-crunched as anyone can be. However, Pili has really mastered the art of focus and time management. She is going to tell you how she gets so much done each day by following a basic structure for her day, how she implements strict time blocking as a way to stay on track, and the non-negotiable “one thing” time she puts in her calendar. It’s safe to say that Pili accomplishes more in the 5 hours she spends at her office each day than most people do in 8 hours.

If you find yourself thinking you need more hours in the day, I want to challenge you to listen in and learn some strategies that will help you to get more done in less time.
