Behind every successful investor is a trail of failures, dumpster fires, bad deals, unmitigated disasters and maybe even some frivolous lawsuits. The truth you won't hear from most investors: there's no way around the necessity of failure in this business.

What sets the best apart is their ability to fail faster, learn, and bounce back. That sometimes means losing a ton of money, getting burned by a contractor, and still having the grit to do another deal.

What can we learn from these catastrophes and setbacks? Can a good real estate investing coach help make life easier? In this episode, I'm joined by author, entrepreneur, digital marketing wizard and my good friend, Bob McIntosh. He talks about his journey - from the struggles and pivots to the biggest lessons he's learned along the way. Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode
