Do you feel that your business takes up too much of your time every day? Are you craving the freedom that lets you focus on self-care, mental health, and relationships?

If so, stick around because this episode offers practical tips on how you can be the true King of your business — not just its operator.

In this episode of Dadpreneurs Rising, Carl interviews Jordan de Jong, a property investment advisor and founder of Australia's largest online property portfolio mapping software, Gameplans.

Jordan shares how becoming a new dad was the catalyst for him to leave his corporate job and start his own business despite not yet knowing what he wanted to do. He began by contracting for various emerging buyer's agencies and using his tech and data analytics background to help solve their problems, specifically in mapping out and systematising investment property portfolios.

The rapid growth of his business was a pat on the back for Jordan, but it also meant working 12+ hour days in the early stages, which he admits negatively impacted his relationship at home. After being encouraged to delegate tasks, Jordan now follows the “automation rate” principle to run the numbers on hiring the support he needs.

Being an entrepreneur may be extremely rewarding, but it can take a toll on your personal life. This episode will expose you to the value of the mindset shift from grinding “in” your business to strategic plays that can help you 10X “on” your business. It will encourage you to boldly pursue your passions and purpose.
