021: The Blueprint to Scaling a High Growth Business with Don Wenner

03/25/21 • 58 min

The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth

Today, I’m talking to Don Wenner, who is a master of scaling high growth, high profit entrepreneurial companies.

Don is the Founder & CEO of DLP Real Estate Capital, a leader in the residential real estate sectors of investment management, lending, asset management, property management, construction, home building, and brokerage.

Using the Elite Execution System, Don led the DLP Real Estate Capital family of companies to over $1 billion in assets under management and over $100 million in annual revenues in less than 10 years. He has been teaching this system to a select group of private clients who have revolutionized their businesses and shares the complete blueprint to his success in his upcoming book, Building an Elite Organization.

In this conversation, Don and I are talking about the major benefits to buying a community bank, the core values at the heart of Don’s companies, and the proven business methodology Don used to achieve 60% year-over-year growth for the past 13 years!

Key Takeaways

Why Don decided to commit the time and energy into buying a community bank.
Why Warren Buffett’s investment philosophy is actually far more antithetical to capitalism than it may seem.
The difference between getting lucky and having great processes in place - and how Don has positioned his business to experience massive growth, year after year, despite never making a list of the Top 100 fastest growing companies.
The core values at the heart of Don’s companies - and how they’ve empowered himself and his employees to do their best work on their terms.
What Don is doing to invest ethically in communities without depleting much-needed housing stock.
