EP16: Inspired by father to not only survive but to thrive! Umang Naik on real estate & business

Umang Naik talks about his experience moving into the US and not knowing how to speak English and fighting through the temptations of comfort and stability with a corporate job. Umang states that, “I’m not here just to survive… I’m here to THRIVE” and with that entrepreneurial spirit, thrive he did! Revealing intimate stories about his dad inspiring him as a young boy all the way to adulthood, Umang grew up the son of a farmer back in India. He noticed at a very young age that his father would come up with an idea and quickly implement! His father would purchase farmland to expand their families farming business, while Umang witnessed his fathers growth, success, and drive to succeed throughout his life. “People don’t care about the smart people, they care about the people they can trust” is a significant belief that helps Umang to navigate through business and life decisions. With his goals to reach $100m for his consulting firm in 5 years, Umang accomplished to 40m and decided his goals needed to be shifted and redirected on his growing family (a bold decision to make!). Refocusing and reading up on real estate investing became his new path and not only did he set a new path to invest in real estate, he set the path ablaze! Accumulating over a dozen properties in 1.5 years and managing them all himself, Umang became a massively successful real estate investor overnight. Inspiring others and sharing his story is only the beginning. Umang is currently to buying more real estate and also growing his IT business! Umang is a man on a mission with a truly inspiring and genuine story about making it in America. With courage, passion and the drive to succeed he hasn’t allowed anything to stand in the way of his goals! Took a lot of travel. SAP consulting. Stick to 4-5m revenue 4-5 clients. Consulting is risky. Didn’t want to rely on IT only got into RE. Originally wanted to get into the hotel business. Don’t care about the money you bring in, they want your time. Found a partner, read and watched for weeks before jumping in.
