It has been a crazy 7 days and I’m back in my RV in Michigan as I recorded this. As a real estate investor, I have been busy with other things like being a mastermind, arranged an assisted living setup for my wife’s mother, premiered a new TV show with Pace and Jamil, and flew back. And with all the crazy 7 days behind me, I have some big takeaways, especially from the mastermind event.
The mastermind event I went to, despite the unforeseen flight delays, was a great basin of the biggest names in real estate. Almost everyone who’s anyone in the real estate industry was there. And in these masterminds, there are key presentations and then there’s networking. I love the presentations because I can always learn something new to implement to the way I do my coaching and real estate business or be reminded of things that I DON’T want to happen to my business.
Then, the good part and probably my most favorite part of the event comes – networking. While I believe that the presentations are great, I personally think the essence of these events is the networking opportunity. The breakout sessions, the mini dinners, and the random hallway conversations are really where the magic happens. I stress this all the time but networking is really the meat of this business. The more you build relationships with not only your clients but with other people in the industry as well, the more you have traction for deals. As they say, your network is your net worth.
So, then I fly into Phoenix after the mastermind and there I met so many YouTubers who have mind-blowing numbers. And while I didn’t get to speak to all of them, most of the ones I spoke with told me the same thing: they’ve been doing this for 5-6 years consistently before they started earning. They show up every day, year after year, and for them, it’s harder to go from 0 to 10k than it is to go from 10k to a million subscribers. It’s the same for real estate; you have to show up consistently to make anything out of it or be anyone in the business.
You have to be in it for the long haul, you have to be doing something every day and you have to be consistent. I’m talking about building a business that serves you; where you have a goal that the business fits and works around.
