The truth about winning?

It's probably not what you think. ↓

Winning begins with knowing your "why".

Big goals, high stakes, wealth-building, whatever it is, it’s going to have ups and downs. 

Life isn’t a straight line; it’s a series of waves. 

And when you hit the troughs, the only thing that pulls you back up is your reason for starting in the first place.

Here’s the roadmap to staying on course:

→ Step 1: 

Clarify your why – Know exactly what drives you, because it’s the only thing that carries you through the lows.

→ Step 2: 

Educate yourself – Learn what you’re doing. Study the craft, absorb the lessons others have learned the hard way.

→ Step 3: 

Surround yourself with winners – The people you spend time with set your pace. Find those who’ve walked the path you want to take.

Purpose fuels persistence. 

Without it, talent or capital won’t get you through.

 • Ups will feel amazing.

 • Downs will test you.

 • But with a strong why, you keep moving forward.

What’s your why, and is it strong enough to carry you through the next wave?

You’ll never “feel ready” to level up.

Do it before you believe you can. ↓

That space between ambition and action where a little voice whispers,
“I’m not sure I can do this.”

I’ve been there too.

Whether it was walking into my first OR solo or wiring money into my first passive deal, that voice made an appearance.

But I’ve learned something over the years…

That voice doesn’t go away by thinking.

It goes away by moving.

Here’s what’s worked for me (and for a lot of the folks):

1. Take the next right step.

Momentum beats perfection. Confidence isn’t built in your head. 
It’s built through action.

2. Do the hard thing, on purpose.

If it makes your palms sweat a little, you’re probably on the right track.

3. Borrow belief.

Stand near people who remind you what’s possible. 
Their courage is contagious.

4. Audit your self-talk.

Would you speak to a friend the way you speak to yourself? Probably not. Choose better words.

Imposter syndrome is real. 
But it’s not a reason to stop. It’s a reminder to start anyway.

Every person you admire once felt unqualified.
The difference? They took the next step anyway.

If you need a push or a plan, I’ve got a free newsletter that dives deeper into this. 

I share real stories, actual tools, and no guru fluff.
The link is in the comments. ↓

Success doesn't happen all at once.

It happens in stages. ↓

At first, for me, it was one step forward…
Then two steps forward…
Then a step back.

That pattern repeated for years.

What changed everything wasn’t a big win or a perfect plan.

It was a realization.

Early in my career, I looked around at the people training me.
They were successful by every external measure.

Good income.
Respected careers.

But they weren’t living the life I imagined for myself.

That moment flipped a switch.

Not because I had answers, but because I had hunger.

I started looking for a different path.

Years later, that search led to something simple but powerful.

The first time a check arrived from an investment I didn’t actively work for, it barely registered.

Then it showed up again, and again.

While I was working.
While I was sleeping.
While I was away.

That’s when the real lesson clicked.

Wealth compounds quietly, just like progress.

One step at a time.
Then momentum.
Then consistency.

It's rarely an overnight success or luck. 

It's all about staying in the game long enough for the stages to stack.

What are you doing to take action and stay in the game long enough for the wins to compound?

If you want to go deeper on building income that compounds, the link’s in the comments. ↓

What changes when fear finally loosens its grip?

Three properties. A completely different life. ↓

Have you ever met someone who wanted to invest… but felt frozen at the thought of starting?

I’ve seen it firsthand. 

One woman in particular was genuinely terrified of taking that first step. 

Not unmotivated. Just afraid.

Fast forward after going through the program:

- She owned three properties.

- She traveled to Cairo with a group of people she barely knew.

- And her perspective shifted entirely.

She told me something I’ll never forget:

→ It made me realize you can build wealth and actually enjoy the people and experiences along the way.

That’s the part most people miss.

Investing isn’t only about spreadsheets and returns.

It’s about confidence. Community. And the freedom to say yes to life.

➔ Three income-producing properties
➔ Travel she never imagined herself taking
➔ New friendships and connections
➔ Financial freedom that opened unexpected doors
➔ Personal growth that compounded right alongside her portfolio

Yes, everyone likes to make money.

But we’re also here to live well, see the world, and share it with people we enjoy.

What’s one small step you could take today to move past fear and start building your own version of freedom?

Studying markets feels productive but...

Investing is where progress starts. ↓

Most people think they need more information before they move.

In reality, movement is what creates clarity.

In medicine, for example, you don’t master something by studying forever.

You learn enough to start, then refine through repetition.

Wealth works the same way.

➔ Exposure comes from learning
➔ Confidence comes from doing
➔ Conviction comes from repetition

Reading, listening, and asking smart questions matter, but only up to a point.

Progress happens when theory meets reality.

Make the first investment.
Have the tax conversation.
Build the structure, even if it’s imperfect.

Then something interesting happens.

The questions get better.
The noise fades.
Your judgment sharpens.

I’ve seen this play out repeatedly in rooms where people aren’t just consuming ideas, they’re applying them.

- Sharing what worked
- Admitting what didn’t
- Helping others shortcut mistakes

That’s how momentum compounds.

Where could a small action today create clarity you’ve been waiting on?

You don’t develop instincts by watching.

One of the biggest disadvantages in investing?

It isn’t lack of intelligence or access.

It’s being out of the game.

When you’re not actively involved, you don’t notice subtle shifts.

You miss changes in sentiment.

You don’t feel when conditions start to turn.

That awareness only comes from staying engaged.

But participation without discipline is dangerous.

Here’s where people get it wrong:

➔ Too much fear, and you freeze.

You sit on the sidelines, waiting for certainty that never comes.

➔ No fear at all, and you get reckless.

You chase momentum, ignore risk, and learn expensive lessons.

The real skill is operating in the middle.

And that skill isn’t guesswork.

It’s built through education.

Education sharpens judgment and helps you recognize when caution is warranted. 

Over time, it becomes conditioning.

You stop reacting emotionally.
You start responding intentionally.

That’s how people stay in the game long enough to benefit when things change.

How do you keep your “investing conditioning” sharp?

(And if you want to go deeper on this, the link’s in the comments.)

Remember when deals felt easy?

Remember when underwriting was simple? ↓

Or when the path to building wealth felt predictable?

For many real estate investors, that environment feels long gone. 

Recent years haven’t been smooth:

→ Policy shifts
→ Rapid changes in interest rates
→ Oversupply in certain areas

Uncertainty widened the gap between buyers and sellers.

But here’s what matters:

The market is adjusting.

Well-capitalized groups have been quietly deploying capital and acquiring assets at more attractive pricing.

When disciplined money starts moving, it’s a signal worth paying attention to.

And despite all the noise, the fundamentals remain the same:

→ Make your money on the buy.
→ Prioritize cash flow.
→ Manage risk relentlessly.

The best opportunities rarely show up when confidence is high.
They appear when hesitation is widespread.

Stay prepared.
Opportunity favors readiness.

How are you positioning yourself for what’s next?

How to position yourself in any market?

Patience, not luck, is what matters. ↓

Strong markets have a way of making everyone look brilliant.

We’ve benefited from great timing before. Major employers moved nearby. Demand surged. Prices followed.

That wasn’t genius.
It was positioning.

Because of that, we built flexibility.
We were able to hold when others couldn’t.

That matters more than people realize.

Past cycles taught us that lesson the hard way, more than once. 

The goal was never to predict every move.

It was to stay conservative enough to survive mistakes, while still moving forward.

Here’s what can make the difference:

➔ Stay engaged:

You can’t benefit from cycles you’re not part of.

➔ Respect fundamentals:

Assets should make sense even when conditions change.

➔ Value patience:

Optionality is powerful when others are forced to act.

Markets will rise.
Markets will fall.

The advantage goes to those who are prepared, not those who are lucky.

How are you positioning yourself to stay flexible when conditions shift?

Most people think change starts with motivation.

Well, it doesn't ... ↓

It starts with a single sentence you tell yourself, and then forget about.

That sentence quietly decides what you do, even when you’re tired, distracted, or tempted to fall back into old habits.

Here’s what most people miss:

- Identity beats willpower every time

- Bad outcomes usually come from invisible systems

- Good systems remove daily decision-making

- Small rules can quietly run your life for years

Tomorrow, I’ll show thousands of subscribers how to build simple systems that align with who you want to become.

For many people, wealth plays a big part in that.

Hard work isn’t the problem.

Misaligned values are. Here's why. ↓

Most people assume that if they just work harder, things will eventually line up.

But effort alone doesn’t guarantee progress.

That is especially true when your values are quietly pulling you in a different direction.

Here’s what tends to get overlooked:

1. Your values already shape every major decision you make

2. The same values that helped your career can stall investing progress

3. Feeling “prudent” can sometimes be fear in disguise

4. Small shifts in priorities can unlock clarity without forcing change

Tomorrow, I’ll show thousands of subscribers how to realign values with investing goals so decisions feel clearer, calmer, and more intentional.

Most landlords make the same costly mistake…

And it quietly drains their returns. ↓

Real estate isn’t supposed to feel like a second full-time job.

The right property manager eliminates most of the friction, so you can focus on scaling instead of troubleshooting.

➔ Stronger Rents → Better Cash Flow

Many owners underestimate true market rent. A good manager doesn’t, and they’ll price your units to maximize income.

➔ Lower Repair Costs → Higher Margins

Established managers have vetted vendors and negotiated pricing, which adds up to meaningful savings over time.

➔ Higher-Quality Tenants → Fewer Headaches

Poor tenant placement is expensive. Proper screening reduces late payments, turnover, and stress you didn’t sign up for.

But there’s another upside most people overlook…

A great manager can actually improve your acquisition strategy.

➔ They understand real demand on the ground.

➔ They know actual rents, not online estimates.

➔ They often hear about opportunities before they ever hit the market.

You didn’t invest to create another job for yourself.

Delegate the day-to-day, protect your time, and let your portfolio work for you.

Are you still managing your own properties? What’s keeping you there?

Do you own your time, or are you just borrowing it?

The holidays can reveal the truth. ↓

Some people slow down, unplug, and enjoy the moment during the holiday break.

Others feel a low-grade anxiety building as the demands really don't slow down when holidays come. 

The difference usually isn’t discipline, intelligence, or even income.

It’s leverage.

Most people assume that earning more money automatically leads to more freedom.

But that assumption quietly breaks down once you look at the math and the limits of time.

Here’s what I'm discussing in tomorrow's newsletter: 

- High income still has a very real ceiling (basic math)

- More effort means more hours, not more freedom

- Time doesn’t compound the way money does

- Speed and borrowed experience matter more than perfect decisions

More importantly, I'll show you what I think is the answer to really buying back your time. 

If you'd like to stop trading hours for dollars and move toward owning time instead of renting it, join us in tomorrow's newsletter.

Still waiting for the “right time” to start?

You might know what I'm going to say next. ↓

Most people don’t fail because they choose wrong.
They fail because they never choose at all.

Early investing feels uncomfortable for one simple reason:

→ There’s no immediate feedback.

No dopamine hit.
No dramatic before-and-after.
Just quiet, boring progress.

And that’s where people freeze.

They overthink the perfect strategy.
They wait for more certainty.
They convince themselves they’ll start “soon.”

Here’s the reframe that changed everything for me:

I stopped treating investing like a financial decision
and started treating it like an identity decision.

This is what people who build wealth do.
Even when it feels small.
Even when it feels slow.

So I removed the decision entirely.

→ Money moved automatically.
→ Priorities were funded first.
→ Lifestyle came after, not before.

No constant willpower.
No monthly debates.
No starting over.

That’s how momentum actually gets built.

What’s one priority you refuse to compromise on?

If you enjoyed this post, join my free weekly newsletter & get my $299 Rich Life Tool Kit as a bonus. The link is in the description. ↓

Most people aren’t behind.

They’re just distracted. ↓

We’re surrounded by highlight reels.
Careers. Investments. Lifestyles. Timelines.

And without realizing it, we start measuring ourselves against people whose goals, risks, and tradeoffs we don’t actually want.

Teddy Roosevelt famously said comparison is the thief of joy.

But comparison isn’t the real problem.

Losing your direction is.

When you look sideways too often, you stop moving forward.

That’s why the most productive comparison is a private one.

Not you vs. them.
You vs. who you’re becoming.

Matthew McConaughey once said his hero is himself, ten years in the future.

That’s a powerful filter.

Before a decision, ask:

Does this move me closer to that version of me?

Or is it just noise disguised as progress?

When your focus shifts forward, clarity improves.
Confidence improves.
And envy fades fast.

So instead of tracking everyone else’s pace…

What’s one habit, decision, or skill your future self would thank you for starting today?

(And yes, the link is in the comments if you want more of this each week.)

A two-second assumption cost me thousands.

And it wasn’t the obvious kind. ↓

It was the type of assumption that you don’t notice until after the damage is done.

The kind we make every day about time, money, people, and risk.

Here’s what assumptions quietly do (I'll break down how to avoid these in tomorrow's newsletter): 

- They create false certainty about the future

- They distort how we judge other people’s success

- They replace verification with comfort

- They show up most often right before a mistake

Tomorrow, I’ll show thousands of subscribers how to identify hidden assumptions before they become expensive mistakes and build habits that protect capital, relationships, and time.

If you want to join us, the link is in the comments. ↓

What’s the cost of skipping this one step?

Most people find out too late. ↓

When I first started investing, I didn’t have a roadmap.

➔ No framework.
➔ No clear process.
➔ No experienced sounding board.

Everything was learned the hard way.

➔ Each mistake costs time.
➔ Each wrong turn costs money.

And I still think about this:

How much further along would I be today if I’d started with a clear plan?

Fast forward to now, and the issue isn’t access to information.

It’s overload.

Strategies, opinions, and self-proclaimed experts are everywhere.
But more input doesn’t automatically lead to better decisions.

Without a proven structure, it’s easy to stall, overanalyze, or hesitate. 

➔ That’s why having a blueprint matters.

You don't need more theory or hype. 

Perhaps a framework that filters noise and prioritizes what actually works would be more helpful. 

If you’re following someone else’s playbook, make sure they’ve been through the cycles.

The right blueprint doesn’t just save time. It compresses years.

Do you have one?

How to spot a fake expert in seconds

Most people miss this simple signal. ↓

The investing space is louder than ever.

➔ Self-proclaimed gurus with no real history
➔ Big promises backed by thin evidence
➔ Polished marketing, little real execution

So how do you tell who’s legit?

Focus on outcomes, not opinions.

Ask a few basic questions:

➔ What have they actually built?
➔ What are they actively doing today?

A while ago, I invited someone to speak about house hacking, and his track record said more than any pitch ever could:

➔ Financial independence before 30
➔ Multiple income-producing properties
➔ TEDx speaker

No hype.
No shortcuts.
Just real-world results.

If you want real expertise, stop chasing noise and start following evidence.

Who’s the last person you learned from that actually walks the walk?

I made a choice years ago that changed my life.

 I thought it was about finances, but it wasn't. ↓

At the time I made the choice, I really thought it was about building wealth. 

Looking back, it was actually about time.

I recently had a call that reminded me why this matters.

I had spoken to him years ago, and he told me his goal. It wasn't flashy, but it was important to him. 

→ He just wanted to walk his kids to school.

Years later, he realized that on an ordinary morning, he was doing exactly that. 

He was walking his child to kindergarten.
It was a moment that stopped him in his tracks.

That’s what passive cash flow actually gives you.

➔ Time with family, when it matters most

➔ Less pressure to trade every hour for a paycheck

➔ The freedom to be present for life’s small, meaningful moments

It’s easy to think wealth is about numbers on a page.

But the real return shows up quietly.

It's in the mornings, you don’t rush through.
It's in moments you don’t miss.

As you get older, you realize that’s the stuff that counts.

You are not building wealth just to be busy in a different way.
You're building it for freedom.

What moment are you building toward?
