He called it "hard earned luck." Here's how he used ambition, the right mentor, and one overlooked strategy to build real freedom.

<p>What if the most profitable move in your business isn't going after your most obvious customer — but finding the overlooked pocket just slightly off to the side?</p><p>That's the strategy Paul Poteet has built his entire business on. As founder of Surge Investment Group, Paul has developed over 400 multifamily units by ignoring the crowded, competitive markets everyone else chases and going where there's real demand, less competition, and room to win. His industry is real estate. But his thinking is pure entrepreneurship.</p><p>In this conversation, Paul and Lindsay unpack the "ancillary market" strategy — and why it works whether you're building a property portfolio, a service business, or an online brand. Instead of fighting for the most obvious customers, what happens when you come at the problem from a slightly different angle? You stop selling — and start attracting.</p><p>Paul also gets honest about what entrepreneurship actually feels like from the inside: the seasons where you question everything, the seasons where you know it's your calling, and why the people who make it aren't the ones with the best ideas — they're the ones who keep going.</p><p>Plus, Lindsay and Paul dig into one of the most underrated assets any entrepreneur can have: a mentor. Not a coach. A mentor. Paul shares how he found his through ambition, curiosity, and a willingness to show up before he had anything figured out — and what that relationship actually looked like.</p><p>What you'll take away from this episode:</p><p>— The ancillary market strategy and how to apply it to your business</p><p>— Why coming at your customer from a slight angle beats going direct</p><p>— How to attract a mentor (and why searching for one usually backfires)</p><p>— What "hard earned luck" actually means — and how to create more of it</p><p>— The mindset that separates entrepreneurs who endure from ones who quit</p><p>Connect with Paul:</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ppoteet/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/ppoteet/</a></p><p>Website: <strong><a href="surgeig.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">surgeig.com</a></strong></p><p>Have a burning question?

Experiencing The Membership Trap? 4 Ways to Build Community Without Losing Your Freedom

<p><strong>Is your business missing a community element, or are you just afraid of becoming a professional babysitter?</strong></p><p>For the freedom-seeking entrepreneur, the "Membership Model" is a double-edged sword. On one hand, you know it’s the golden ticket to recurring revenue and a stabilized bottom line. On the other, the thought of being tethered to a Slack channel or a weekly Zoom call for the next five years feels less like "entrepreneurial liberty" and more like a self-imposed prison sentence.</p><p>If you’ve been holding back because you don’t want to trade your time for a monthly subscription fee, this episode is your permission slip to do things differently.</p><p><strong>In today’s episode, we’re breaking down 4 creative community models that prioritize your exit strategy over your ego.</strong> We explore how to build a high-value ecosystem that thrives on its own, so you can remain the visionary—not the 24/7 moderator. We’ll discuss:</p><ul><li><strong>The "Architect" vs. The "Host":</strong> How to design a peer-to-peer environment where the value is in the network, not your personal presence.</li><li><strong>Time-Bound Success:</strong> Why "undetermined length" is the enemy of scale and how to fix it.</li><li><strong>The Scalability Shift:</strong> Moving from a "personal brand" community to an "asset-based" community.</li><li><strong>The Exit Strategy (Solution #4):</strong> We dive deep into the specific model designed for the entrepreneur who wants to <strong>build, scale, and sell.</strong> If you don’t want to be the face of your company forever, this is the blueprint you’ve been waiting for.</li></ul><br/><p>Stop letting the fear of "time commitment" keep you from the most powerful growth lever in the modern economy. It’s time to build a community that serves your life, not a job that consumes it.</p><p>Join the free Facebook Community!
