“Cash Flow Is King” | I help busy professionals upgrade their lifestyle & achieve financial independence through commercial real estate investing

In 2018, I got into real estate and thought I could create passive income all on my own. 

Boy was I wrong...

I learned that to generate passive income, you have to work with a team. So I joined one. 

I'm Brian, Director of Investor Relations at a Houston-based real estate private equity firm with over $500mm of AUM. 

We’re a rockstar team that's been trusted with over $100mm of capital from investors just like you.

I help busy, high-income professionals put their money to work in smart, risk-adjusted real estate investments.

My mission is to help others build passive income with real estate to help them leave a legacy they can be proud of.

I'm driven by one of my favorite quotes, "cash flow is king, but relationships are gold."

We first seek to understand each investor's unique story & goals… then we find cash-flowing investment opportunities that align with their goals. 

Each month, we invite new members to join our private Investor's Club exclusively for high-income, accredited professionals.

If you're interested in joining, follow the link in my "Featured" section. Once you apply, we'll schedule a quick consultation call to see if you're a good fit for our firm. 

If you're a busy, high-income W2 professional, successful business owner, or someone looking to 1031 exchange your portfolio into a passive position, let's talk! 

Happy Investing,
Brian

I Coach CEOs to Build Winning Companies Where People 💜 to Work (SME:s) | +$30M Client Profit Generated | Top Ranked Management & Leadership Creator Globally (#1 in Sweden) | Serial Entrepreneur

💡 Are you enthusiastic about waking up in the morning to be the master strategist of your company, or are you dreading another day spent fighting fires and not getting anything significant done?

👋 Hey! I'm Susanne, a CEO Coach, entrepreneur, #1 international bestselling author, and the founder of BeASmarterLeader and SEE Management.

𝐌𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: To guide CEOs like you in reaching the top of your game.
I specialize in turning your big business dreams into reality, making your company richer, your team happier, and your business more robust.
And if you're up for it, we'll boost your bottom line by $499k in 99 days.


𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐆𝐨𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞: Back in 2001, life was amazing. I co-owned a big Swedish dot.com company and started our Netherlands office. I invested my heart, time, and money into it. But then, everything fell apart when the company went bankrupt. I lost everything, and it was devastating—going from a dream job to no job at all.


𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠: We made these 4 epic failures!
⛔ We didn't delegate effectively
⛔ We weren't ready for massive growth
⛔ We didn't have streamlined processes in place
⛔ We, the C-Suite, stopped listening to our people


𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝: Combining 20+ years in management consulting, over a decade in leadership, and hard-earned lessons from my dot.com collapse led me to develop a foolproof system to help CEOs like you:
✅ Boost your profits
✅ Keep your best people
✅ 'Buy back' +8 hours a week
✅ Build a scalable business model for growth


Great leaders aren't born; they're made.
True transformation can be challenging, so I've designed my system to help you save time, reach your potential, and become a top-notch CEO. 


𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫: Strategies to:
⭐ 'Buy back' your time so you can lead, not be 'all-over the place'
⭐ Create a CEO role that you'll absolutely LOVE having
⭐ Create space for innovation & big-picture planning
⭐ Create trust, structure, and sustainable growth
⭐ Build a winning, scalable company culture



𝐌𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬: CEOs of SME companies on the U.S. East Coast, Canada, and Europe.
But why is this Swedish lady targeting the U.S. and Canada?
The mindset around the importance and value of a coach differs in the US and Canada from the rest of the world. I also love to speak English.
