Hi! I'm Shawn Johnson, a helicopter pilot turned entrepreneur, who is addicted to real estate investing and business ownership. Having spent the last decade + investing in real estate, owning/operating, and selling several businesses, (and flying helicopters) One of my favorite things is to share my successes, failures, and experiences in the business and real estate industry, and LOVE supporting others who are thinking about getting into the business. Plus, I'm also obsessed with helicopters...I know right, that seems random but throughout my investing and business career, a part of it I was a professional helicopter pilot. So expect to see some helicopters in my content. I specifically focus my investing in markets of less than 250,000 people. Why? It's much easier to be a big fish in a small pond!
