And if people like Amy and others can be a part of that collaboration, I would love to do that, to grow the biggest baddest ass community of doing deals in person every single day, five days a week, Doing deals creatively, doing deals, you know, as wholesales, doing deals as fix and flips, buying holds, buying more deals. So that is my intention. And I was very clear going into 2025.
I took a lot of time to sit and think and understand and refine and write down. So I ask you guys to do the same thing. What are you trying to collaborate on? Why collaborate? A lot of people get into business partnerships because they think their friend or family member has a skill set that they lack or don't possess, which could be a good thing.

A lot of people get into business partnerships because they think their friend or family member has a skill set that they lack or don't possess, which could be a good thing.
But the reality is you could just collaborate with people that have a strength where you have a weakness and you don't need a business partnership. And again, that's what REI Live is, right, is my strength is 18 years of doing deals, negotiating, underwriting, finances, raising money, having buyers. And your weakness might be a lack of that experience. So why wouldn't we collaborate?

If I can show you where to go find them, you do 50% of the work, I'll do the other 50% of the work. We share profits 50-50. That is clear, intentional collaboration. So how would you be collaborating? Maybe it's you joining REILive.co. I've talked a lot about it because I know exactly how clear I am about how far that needle is going to move.

We've done a lot of deals through the holidays, by the way. In the last two weeks, we've done 10 deals. Many of you guys are like, oh, the holidays, no one was doing anything, no one was working. We were. Because everyone else wasn't, right? And so when you get clear on the collaboration that you want to be able to do, you can actually start to move your own needle. It can be clear, right?

And maybe it's an acquisition person. Maybe it's a marketing agency. Maybe it's a buyer's group. Whatever the case may be, get clear on that. And then the last part of this episode is going to be the accountability part. You said you're going to make these changes. You still got to write them out, by the way.

It's great for you to be listening to this in your car or on an airplane or wherever you're listening to this or watching this on YouTube and to hear it, shake your head and nod. Yeah, no, that's a good idea, Justin. But then to actually not write it down and to actually not do anything about it is bullshit.

Like these are good ideas because I've done this a long time and I've gone through, you know, a lot. And by the way, I've paid a lot of money for coaches and masterminds over the last 18 years. So these aren't, new ideas about creating change, right? And collaborating and creating accountability.

But there are three things that I believe most of you aren't doing accurately or just not doing at all. And so who's going to keep you accountable? How do you keep yourself accountable? What levers and triggers need to

Would be able to hold yourself accountable. I don't know. I would tell you accountability is probably the hardest thing to hold yourself accountable for, right? Like you need to write shit down on the mirror. Sticky note or one of those markers, like a whiteboard marker and hold yourself accountable because every day if you look in the mirror and all of you look at that mirror,
