Description

Jerome Myers is the preeminent authority of dream realization.

As a believer that dreams can, and should be real, Jerome left corporate America when he realized that his role offered financial gain, but little significance.

He is the founder and head coach of Myers Methods and has been featured in Black Enterprise, Business Insider, and numerous podcasts. 

After building a highly profitable division of a Fortune 550 company, Jerome decided to leave the rat race to get away from what seemed to be the endless slew of layoffs. He has developed a system for exiting corporate America and creating a life of impact. 

Today, he and his company help other apex performers find their calling and live every day on purpose by harnessing the power of his model for a Centered Life, what he calls “the Red Pill”. Jerome and his firms can guide any individual from a monotonous uninspiring existence to a life of fulfillment and impact.

Here is a recap:

Jerome Myers from Greensboro, North Carolina. He is the founder of the Myers Development Group, a group focused on the area of multi-family real state investment. Multi-family real state refers to having multiple families living in a single place with the same address but with slight variations, say same building but different mailboxes for everyone. He tells us about his amazing project to help and educate people in the financial realm and how to better achieve their dreams. 

How did Jerome start?

After quitting corporate America, he decided to focus in his dream now that he had the resources and experience. He found out that in order to successfully achieve his dream, he also needed to find the right people to help him. 

Obstacles

At first, despite being an incredibly knowledgeable young man with a great credit record and career, the bank denied him the credit he needed to start because they considered that he didn’t have the experience necessary for that business. Luckily, after some time, Jerome was able to find the right people to not only help him understand more of the business but also partner with and buy the building.

Results

Not only did they buy the building, but made it all the way to the news, Jerome was considered a rising star in business and his dream was finally taking shape. Furthermore, he was able to form some more valuable connections that would help him grow his business.

What is his creative approach? 

The multifamily real estate industry is a booming business for many people. Jerome explains that the way his company goes about it is called “joint venturing”, they form partnerships and buy the properties and in doing so, everybody has an active role in the investment. In a joint venturing, everyone is a business operator rather than just an investor. Thus, they get to be involved in the process beyond just putting in their money having the operators take a fee from them.

“The more time you focus on intentionally building relationships with people who are in the place you want to be or going to the place you want to go, the faster you’ll arrive at that destination.” 

Jerome also talks about how many more great relationships he’s built and how all of them have helped him get to where we wanted to be. People who turned him down at first were now coming back with an offer and he was able to do business with them as well. The method is not simple at all: they find, fund, fix and flip deals. But Jerome decided to not only have business partners but to also educate them through a single goal: make the information that he didn’t have before be available for everyone. All this information is now available through the Myers method.
