Quotes:
(4:24) I don’t think it was really about the money. I think I wanted to be respected. I think I wanted to just have a purpose.

(7:01) People that have a little bit of a colorful upbringing or a little bit of a colorful past—I’m finding now that they oftentimes make the best entrepreneurs.

(18:07) Try to flip first, even though wholesaling is still a really great place to start. But me personally, I started flipping right away.

(22:18) If somebody didn’t have access to any capital or any credit, try to find a strong relationship with somebody that does have access to either some capital or some credits and just present an idea to them about it.

(24:30) Even if you only had a 10% stake in a deal, you’re documenting your progress.

(25:20) The first one is always tough.

(32:41) It’s just about developing the skills and having a really good system in place to be able to manage some of the projects.

(33:48) As long as you just start small and start simple, then you can work your way out over a period of time and you don’t have to use any of your own resources or your own credit. But it certainly takes a little bit of work to learn.

(41:31) I was around people that were leveling up all the time. I was around people that were spending a ridiculous amount of money on their education. And I just started following the same pattern.

(43:17) No matter what happens, everything that we want is on the other side of something that is uncomfortable.
