Ep 361: Using Real Estate to Pursue Your Passions with Meng Chen

Let's explore the world of real estate as a stepping stone to pursuing passions and entrepreneurship with Meng Chen, Founder of PortfolioBay. He discusses the financial challenges of starting a business in this episode and how real estate can serve as a pre-entrepreneurial runway.

Meng shares his perspective on real estate, emphasizing that it offers more than just financial gains. For him, it provides the freedom to explore passions and create a successful business. He also believes that having financial security allows ample time for pivoting and achieving success in one's endeavors.

Tune in to discover how real estate can be a strategic foundation for aspiring entrepreneurs, providing both financial stability and the space to pursue meaningful goals.

Episode Highlights:

01:23 - I would say I will keep working on it. There might be pivot in terms of solution, in terms of what the product is, but I'll keep working on it until it becomes a successful company. And that's just the value of real estate. It brings in to me like my own personal life. It's not just about investing in real estate and make some money. It's about having the flexibility, like financially to pursue things that you are more passionate about. And eventually, if you stay long enough and you have the passion to go really hard on it, you're going to be successful. So, that's my belief.
