WiscoREIA Wausau: Living on Purpose: Finding Your “Why” in Business and Life (18 May 2026)

Mon, 18 May 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Living on Purpose: Finding Your “Why” in Business and Life

Why do you do what you do?

In the fast-paced world of real estate and business, it’s easy to get caught up in deals, numbers, and day-to-day demands—without ever stepping back to ask the bigger question: What’s driving it all?

Join us for a powerful and reflective session on Planning and Living on Purpose, where we’ll explore how to identify your personal “why” and align it with your goals, decisions, and actions. When your purpose is clear, everything else—your business, your growth, and your direction—becomes more intentional and meaningful.

In this short but impactful discussion, you’ll gain clarity on what truly motivates you, how to stay focused on what matters most, and how to build a life and business that feels aligned—not just successful.

If you’re ready to move beyond just doing deals and start building with purpose, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

WiscoREIA Wausau: Boutique Assisted Living: The Quiet Cash Flow Business Hiding in Plain Sight (20 Jul 2026)

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Boutique Assisted Living: The Quiet Cash Flow Business Hiding in Plain Sight

Click here to pre-register!

Join us as Brandon pulls the curtain back on one of the most overlooked and fast growing niches in real estate, boutique assisted living.

He is going to show what this business really looks like, how these homes work, how he finds and buys them, how he finances them, how he sets them up, and how they cash flow like a rental, but with a much bigger long term need behind them.

He is also going to talk about the "silver tsunami" that is happening right now as millions of seniors age into needing care and why small boutique assisted living homes are filling a massive gap that big box facilities are failing at. He will share why this is a real business, how normal people can get involved, and why this asset class is growing into a multi billion dollar space with huge demand over the next several years.

Register now and make sure not to miss this one!
