Investing in Yourself: Continuous personal development is crucial. Engaging with people who are already successful in your desired field can provide valuable insights and opportunities.



Mindset Shift on Capital Raising: Instead of asking for money, frame it as offering an opportunity. This approach can help build trust and credibility with potential investors.



Education and Transparency: Educating potential investors about the real estate market and investment strategies can empower them to make informed decisions, leading to stronger partnerships.



Importance of Preparedness: Luck often favours those who are prepared. Being emotionally and strategically ready to seize opportunities can significantly impact success.




Tangible Investments: Real estate offers a sense of security and tangibility for investors. Owning a piece of property allows individuals to feel more connected to their investments, reinforcing the value of real estate as a solid investment strategy.



"I am never, ever, ever asking for money. I'm offering an opportunity."

"The definition of luck is where opportunity is paired up with preparedness."

"Application is the key to salvation. It's not knowledge."

"You can go the long road, which is 25, 30 years of success, or you can build some education platforms."

"Investing in me basically means facing the fear and doing it anyway."
