From All-Consuming Job to Independent Business: The Empire Property Turnaround 

Here’s a powerful clip from my interview with Ed Waggoner, Owner and Founder of Empire Property Management:

“And that's when my journey to turn Empire Property Management from an all-consuming  job, basically,  into a real business. 

“A real business that is an entity all of its own, has its own inertia, its own momentum, its own, you know, grows without you, runs without you, and scales without you.”

From Personality-Driven to Business-Driven: The Shift at Empire Property Management

Here’s a powerful clip from my interview with Ed Waggoner, Owner and Founder of Empire Property Management:

Starting from scratch in Property management is a challenge.

Property Management is a tough business to scale, especially when all the tenants and the owners are really hiring Ed Waggoner, not Empire Property Management. 

They weren't hiring a business, so to speak, because they were hiring a personality. 

And it took a while for the owners, especially, to detach from Ed Waggoner and to really understand that they were hiring a company, not just Ed Waggoner. 

So that was one of the most difficult things.

From Hands-On to Hands-Off: Empire Property Management’s Path to Independence

Here’s another clip from my interview with Ed Waggoner, Owner and Founder of Empire Property Management:

“Again, I was in BNI.  I joined a lot of local trade groups and things like that. I did public speaking. I taught classes, things like that.

 Anything to get my name out there.  

Well, that's great, except it's not growing without you.  

As soon as you stop doing those classes, as soon as you quit the trade shows.

And quit showing up for all these networking events and everything else ...

... your business stalls.”

Why Your Business Depending On You To GROW Is Crazy

Here’s a powerful clip from my interview with Ed Waggoner, Owner and Founder of Empire Property Management:

And so even in a kind of business-like property management, there's always some attrition on the back end, no matter what. 

So, you can't just build your business up to a certain level and then just say, “Well, I'm comfortable with that,” because people's situations with their properties change and they sell.

Sometimes you have a run in with an owner. They’re people just like the rest of us. And some of them are crazy, just like the rest of us. 

And you have to let them go. 

And so now you're stuck because you lost the customer. 

Now you need to replace the customer. 

Even if you just want to grow your business to a certain point, you still have to have customers coming in.

And so, you have to learn to build your business to where it grows without you!

Let Your Business Grow Beyond You

Here’s a powerful truth from my interview with Ed Waggoner, Owner and Founder of Empire Property Management:

First things first, your company has to grow without you. 

If you’re involved in every sale, then there's going to come a point, no matter what, where your business is going to stop. 

Because they're just going to run out of you. 

You can't do everything in your company and expect it to grow. 

First things first, you've got to build a system to get customers. You have to get customers in the door, without your involvement. 

So basically, you build a machine. 

That's your job. 

You own the company.

You're going to have to build a machine, and then you're going to have to let the machine do the work.

🎁 That’s why I compiled the Free Independent Business Case Study Kit to help you break this cycle.

Inside, you’ll discover how to:

✅ Build a business that grows, runs, and scales without you

✅ Escape the endless grind of 60-90 hour weeks ⏳
