And you couldn't do that by serving two masters. Right. Like I say, it's kind of funny, but I say you can't date two chicks at the same time. Like it never works out. Right. Right. Right. No one loses. And so you made the right choice. But you guys listening. I'm not telling you to quit your job either. And neither is Anthony, I don't think. I just think you need to really make a decision.

Like, are you going to put forth the effort, right? Because if you are going to hold a job and start your business and be a real estate investor, what are you sacrificing? I mean, give some examples of the things you were sacrificing doing all this. I mean, weekends, toast, morning, night. I mean.

And to some extent, I know you have, right? Yeah. And we don't have to go into everything you're doing right now, but, you know, being a lender and all this other stuff. But I think this is not for everybody. And what I'm about to say is not for everybody, but it is also for everyone. This is why the first principle of success is that decide what you want.

Because Anthony Cota could have could have effectively kept his job and done a couple deals a year. Probably not much more. Right. I mean, you were pretty time restricted, but you might have made an extra 20, 50, maybe 100 grand a year. Which would have been nice, but wouldn't have been fulfilling. Yep. Am I correct by saying that? Right?

Like, sure, normally, but I'm still working 90 hours at the dealership and I'm still missing weddings. And does that make sense? Yeah. And so the advice that I think everyone should hear, but also you need to make your own decision is you need to very quickly get to the point of... Excuse me. What do I want? And be clear on it.

And I'm not just talking about like, you know, what's my why type thing. I'm talking about like, what is the vision of what you're trying to do for the rest of your life? And if it's not congruent with the work you're currently doing, the time you're currently spending, then you need to rewire pretty quickly.

Again, I'm not telling you to quit your job, but the sooner the better if that's not congruent. For some of us men, it is the providing mentality. I need to keep my job. I need to provide. I get that. That's why I don't force people to quit their job. But

The faster you can get to like, I'm ready to live my actual life and not just what historically speaking men do, then that's what you need to decide. And I haven't even gone to the other four points of success, but this is the main one. And that's why I think ultimately, even though in the last two years, you still are not where you would like to be.

But I also don't think two years is enough runway to measure where you're at, right? I mean, the reality is this is going to be a lifelong journey in real estate for me and for you. I'm not where I want to be. I've done this for almost two decades, dude. Right. I'm still not where I want to be. Now, am I a lot further than sleeping on a couch? Of course.

But, you know, I think that's really important for people to understand is, is what you're talking about. At what point is enough enough and then go.
