Ep. 167 George Otel

Key Takeaways:

1️⃣   Financing Fuels Every Stage of Business
Whether you’re starting, surviving, growing, or buying, the right financing strategy can turn challenges into opportunities. From SBA loans to creative deal structures, founders have more options than they realize.

2️⃣ Own Instead of Rent
Commercial real estate is about control, stability, and long-term wealth. George shows how founders can often buy their space with SBA programs for less than monthly rent.

3️⃣ Do Your Best and Delegate the Rest
Entrepreneurship thrives on focus. George stresses the importance of delegating tasks, building strong networks, and measuring success by whether you are doing your best, not whether every deal closes.
