Quotes:
[15:22] “Join a mastermind…What made me take action was joining a group and getting a coach.”
[17:21] “Cashflow—they don't know where their money's going. Like I had originally before Profit First, they just had just everything in one account. And I didn't want to do anything with it, because I wasn't really sure how much money I could scale up.”
[21:56] “I have a lot of the things that I've learned in the Air Force. It’s…directly been beneficial in my real estate career…[The] dedication, persistence, leadership. My ability to focus.”
