DOING IT SCARED AND WITHOUT THE FULL PLAN
When people look at my life today, they see the developments, the real estate portfolio, the businesses, and the success. What they don't see are the seven failed real estate exams.
They don't see the countless drives back and forth to testing centers hoping this would finally be the time I passed. They don't see me trying to figure out how I was going to come up with another $100 just to retake the test. At that point in my life, $100 felt like a mountain.
I remember finally getting my license and thinking everything was about to change. I was convinced I had found the thing that would transform my life overnight.
Then reality hit. My first year in real estate, I made roughly $5,000.
Not per month.
Not per deal.
For the entire year.
I remember sitting there thinking I could have made more money working at McDonald's.
The problem wasn't that real estate didn't work.
WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE
• Why I failed the real estate exam seven times
• What I learned from making only $5,000 my first year
• The difference between opportunity and preparation
• Why your habits determine your future more than your circumstances
• How faith helped me keep moving when nothing made sense
KEY LESSON
Your breakthrough isn't waiting on more information. Your breakthrough is waiting on the version of you that's willing to keep moving even when you don't have all the answers.
