“Everyone is afraid of a 4 letter word, WORK” - @hormozi
This past week I got to not only spend the weekend with 2 of my heroes @sam.ovens and @hormozi but actually have them break down my businesses to push me forward.
This is the type of stuff I truly never imagined myself doing, but earning the right to be there will undeniably change the course of what I do for the rest of my life.
Here’s 3 takeaways that I think will benefit anyone reading this no matter what you do:
1. Quit listening to the people telling you you’re supposed to magically make a bunch of passive income and then retire for the rest of your life. No one that’s telling you that got there that way and neither will you. Just shut up and work
2. Quit taking everything so seriously. Your heroes are just as normal as you are and make the same mistakes. If you let fear of failure cripple you, you’ll get left behind
3. You’re capable of more than you know. I was in a room full of people with huge followings and past success, but I earned the right to be there in the same way they did. I can’t count the amount of times I told myself I had no shot at competing at a level as high as theirs, but I never let it stop me for long. Don’t make excuses
I’m not special, but what I will say is that what sets me apart is just not stopping. If you can master that, then the outcome is inevitable. Focus on your inputs as a measurement of success, the outputs are just the result.
This is just the beginning for me, and I sure am having fun✊🏼
PS. If you didn’t know I won a business competition called the Skool Games competing against people all over the world. It was the most competitive month in its short history thanks to @mrbelmar@champagnedaavi@farhoon_asim@kaiguy_69@makingprettyspaces@ai_automations_with_jack
If you make less than $200k a year, you cannot afford to NOT take risks.
I know it’s uncomfortable. I know it’s scary. But here’s the reality:
If you’re not betting on yourself right now, you’re getting left behind.
AI isn’t killing every industry — it’s killing complacency. Real estate still needs people. Money still needs lenders. But you have to develop the skills to compete.
Your nine-to-five is not your future. It’s your funding.
Your focus needs to be here: building human capital so you become irreplaceable.
Keep the job. But develop yourself like your life depends on it. Because it does.

You’re not broke because real estate is broken.
You’re broke because you’re using your paycheck to buy debt and calling it investing.
The American dream was designed to keep you leveraged. Rental property, check. Cash flow, maybe. But then repairs hit, tenants leave, insurance rises, and suddenly you’re locked in for 30 years praying appreciation saves you.
Here’s the trap: You’re not building wealth. You’re building obligations.
That’s why Hailee and I do it differently. We build real cash flow without the headache of tenants, vacancies, or the debt spiral that comes with traditional rentals.
The money you keep is the money that matters.
Follow for how we actually structure it. 🙌🏽

I’ve never had a budget in my entire life.
Not because I was rich. Because I refused to be broke.
$7.93 an hour at a shoe store.
$10 an hour doing lawn care.
$80,000 a year as an engineer.
$100,000 a month in real estate.
Same approach the whole way through.
Your circumstances don’t dictate your outcomes. Your income-to-expense ratio does.
Spend less than you make.
That’s it. That’s the whole game.
Sure, you can tell yourself you don’t have time. You don’t have money. You don’t have resources. You’re probably right. But that victim mentality won’t free up a single hour or dollar.
It all comes down to being willing to be uncomfortable.
Most people aren’t.
That’s your choice to make. 🙌🏽
You’re trying to replace your income doing everything yourself??
I’m building deals by letting other people bring me the opportunities.
Here’s the exact playbook ⤵️
Find active real estate investors. Facebook groups, meetups, doesn’t matter. Ask what money they need and what deals they’re looking for.
Create a leads list. Document who they are and exactly what they need.
Uncover lenders that match their requirements. Scout deals that fit their buy box.
Provide the solution. Bring them lenders. Show them deals. Make yourself valuable.
Then do this: Identify your A players and repeat the entire process on every single deal they do.
For me, that was providing short-term capital and getting outsized returns.
You don’t need to be the one doing the deals. You just need to be the one solving problems.

$30K to $1M in 6 years.
Here’s how we did it:
2019: Combined net worth of $30K. No real jobs, just dreams.
2020: Got engaged. Spent most of our money building a van. Lived cheap. Saved everything.
2021: Got married. Moved into the van. Worked as raft guides. Ended the year at $50K.
Then we sold the van. Hit $75K.
Moved to Jacksonville. Got real jobs. Crossed $100K.
I started wholesaling on the side. Pushed to $120K.
Then I went all in on real estate while Hailey kept her job to support us. Year one of transactional funding: $200K.
Year two, we moved back into our truck out west to cut expenses and stay laser-focused.
Scaled hard.
2025: $1M+
Here’s what actually moved the needle:
Take calculated risks early. Your spouse is your greatest asset. The risks you take now dictate what your life looks like in a few years.
Our business grows faster than our income ever could.
