Quotes:

“Most real estate investors, most real estate agents, and investors tend to focus on what I call hamster wheel marketing”.

“Your volume of deals and leads is going to come from outbound. It's going to come from sending out the mail, sending out the cold calls to activate demand for people that aren't actively looking on Google. But your highest quality, most motivated ones are going to come from a Google search”.

“I think if you're doing something with enough energy and it gives you enough energy, you're probably going to be pretty damn good at that thing. And if you do it enough, you'll probably get noticed by people and somehow make a career out of it. 

“Chase energy, not money. Hopefully, money follows but I would much rather be high energy and doing things I love and be broke versus really low energy, miserable, and have a bunch of money. So that's me”.
