Joe Fairless

It was like Joe Fairless Consulting or something.

Yeah.

It was just like a personal thing that I was creating.

I didn't have any interest of people actually paying me money.

There's all sorts of different ways to test to see if your business is gonna be successful that you can do much more inexpensively than I did for the 3K.

But once I didn't have any clients, I knew I didn't have a business.

And to overlay that with- How long did you stick with it though before you left it?

Yeah, one month.

Okay.

All right, and then what?

Well, and then as I was actually already investing in real estate on the side, I had purchased my first house in 2009 and then my second one, third, fourth.

So I ended up having four houses at that point between 2009 and like 2012 or so.

And what I realized by purchasing the houses is that I was making like, you know, 200 bucks a month on average off each of them.

And I realized I was going to have to make a whole lot of or buy a whole lot of them in order to really achieve some, you know, financial wealth.

And I just wanted to scale quicker.

So I started studying apartment buying and investing.

And that's what I do now.

I raise money from investors and buy apartment communities.

Um, and I, uh, so, so the last year of my advertising gig, um, about October of 2012.

Um, so I was still having, I still had my advertising gig.
