How can new investors avoid shiny object syndrome?
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.
What is up, the Science of Flipping family? I am back with one of my most special guests of all times, and I know at times I can say that a lot, but this one is near and dear to my heart because he is a student of mine. He has been a longtime Science of Flipping coaching student as well as an REILive.co member, and he has crushed it over the last year and a half to two years And he went all in on this business. He was making six figures in his other job. He said, enough of that. Let me go all in on creating my life by design. And he is one of those shining examples that I want to highlight here on the Science Flipping Podcast. My man, Anthony Cota, is in the house. That's right, brother. Good to see you. Good to see you, man.
So I want everyone who is newer in this industry, everyone who's having challenges in this industry, anyone who is trying to break in as a real estate investor, trying to figure out how to do their first deal, or maybe you've done a couple. I want everyone to pay attention to this. Because he is my student, has been for about a year and a half, two years, something like that, right? Yeah, about two years. About two years at the Science of Flipping Coaching, but also has joined the newest coaching, which is REILive.co. So check that out. It's only $200 a month at REILive.co, five days a week. So much so that he is actually one of the leaders in the group that helps other people get the deals done. But I want people to hear your story and not just the story at 30,000 foot.
We're going to dive into your first deal and your second deal and how you got them. But I also want them to understand where you came from in the sense of nine to five job, killing you, newborn, not seeing your family and how to make a change. Why don't we just kind of start there? What were you doing? What did it all look like? And then ultimately, how did you find me?
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.
A perspective that I had that the burnout didn't even come for me, it was more for my family. 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.
