Episode Highlights:
How Adam’s Son Ended Up with Him Buying a Multimillion-Dollar Property
His favorite project started when his son told him he can’t play his favorite Dungeons and Dragons game anymore because their local game store was closing down. Adam eventually acquired the struggling game store and using his S.M.A.R.T. Blueprint method, the store has now gone from earning $5,000 to $15,000 a month.
Then he learned Elon Musk was building the new Tesla factory or office just outside Bastrop, Texas. So he looked for struggling commercial properties and put an offer on a property. So now, he ended up buying a giant brown building on the corner of the two biggest roads as you drive through Bastrop.
The Apprenticeship Model
If you are an expert, you would have an apprentice and the apprentice because the only way to learn is to do everything.
The S.M.A.R.T. Blueprint Method
They have a free PDF guide called the S.M.A.R.T. Blueprint that tells you all the tools they use. They give you access to every tool they have, how they use them, and why they use them. They also have a paid version of it, which is essentially a three-month program where they guide them through the S.M.A.R.T. Blueprint.
S.M.A.R.T. Blueprint is literally designed for their own companies and they're running seven different brands at the moment.
SMART stands for:
