Leaving the Field for the Office: A High School Coach's Move to Real Estate Coaching

Leaving the Field for the Office: A High School Coach's Move to Real Estate Coaching

Matthew Wallace is a serial entrepreneur who has successfully managed several businesses. He recently appeared on the Freedom Chaser podcast, where he shared his inspiring journey from a former teacher and football coach earning $50,000 a year to a thriving real estate investor and businessman. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at Matt's story and the valuable lessons he shared during the podcast.

Matthew Wallace's journey to becoming a successful entrepreneur started when he got fired from his teaching job. While he was devastated at first, he soon realized that losing his job was an opportunity to explore new career paths. He had a passion for renovating and flipping houses and decided that getting his real estate license was the first step in pursuing his dreams.
Getting his real estate license proved to be an invaluable experience for Matthew. During the licensing process, he learned valuable skills such as how to run comps and sales techniques through door-knocking and cold calling. He advises new investors to get their license to learn these skills, which can help them succeed in the real estate industry.

Matthew scaled his business by focusing on listings rather than buyers, as it is easier to scale the former. He now has a team of seven agents, and he and his fiance manage it together. He explains that his better half is better suited to managing the team of agents, as her management style is different from his. He draws on his experience as a former football coach and player, which has given him a thick skin and a winning mindset that he uses when making calls to potential clients.
Matthew shares his three keys to success: attitude, effort, and habits. He emphasizes the importance of consistently showing up and putting in the work every day. He started with cold calling using Circle Prospecting to find investment properties, and still uses this method today along with lead generation websites, foreclosure lists, and tax sale lists.

When asked what advice he would give to someone who wants to become an entrepreneur, Matthew says that anyone can do it if they follow a successful model and put in the time and effort. He stresses that success leaves clues and that people have done it before, so it is possible to succeed.

Matthew recently became fully licensed as a general contractor and plans to expand his real estate investing business further in 2023. His story is a testament to the power of hard work, perseverance, and a winning mindset. By learning valuable skills, focusing on listings, and consistently putting in the work, Matthew has built a successful business and inspires others to do the same.
