And again, you know, back to the YouTube University, the challenge is, and I think we all kind of face this in the beginning, is without a coach, it's so easy to get shiny object syndrome. Like you said, everyone has the right answer. Everything that you see on YouTube is possible and tangible. But if you're kind of just trying one of everything.

you're never gonna get anywhere and like I'm guilty of it you know when I first got into coaching like not necessarily under your advisement but like I bought every comping tool I bought you know everything imaginable right and still through the first year I was like okay should I go try you know to learn tax deeds and should I try this and that and so like

Not having a coach to guide you and just tell you like, hey, dude, like, just chill out, you know, which I think we've had to have that conversation quite a few times. I think it's just a lot of time wasted.

Yeah, absolutely, man. So I think, you know, I always find the nine to five talk funny because I think anyone knows that has been any type of sales industry before, you know, it ends up being more like as soon as you open your eyes to as soon as you go to bed, you know, whatever it looks like. Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, I mean, I was in the car industry, you know, four years.

So just like we were just talking about, you know, eight hour days were not really relevant to me. It was more like 12, 16 hour days. And that kind of laid six, seven days a week. And I don't want to say it's necessarily like burnout that got me to a place where I wanted more because I don't like to say that about myself, that there's any sort of burnout there. But yeah.

You know, so from putting in those 12, 16 hour days, five, six, seven days a week, you know, missing the birthdays, missing the sports games, you know, not going to any family members wedding, like pretty much limiting everything to try to grow a life for us, quickly realized that the time part was more important than the money. So so we kind of had to reverse engineer where we wanted to be.

Right. And so we we took a step backwards and started with time first and then started looking for money. And I think that's how we came across to you. You know, we're looking for avenues and always found real estate as a vehicle that could get us that time back as well as that money on the back end. And funny enough, my wife actually caught you on a Grant Cordon episode.

Yeah, you know, it's funny because on our first call or like how I got introduced to your program, you kind of challenged me because the reality was we sat down for a while because it was kind of like a week like before we made the decision to join your program.
