It’s late, I’m tired, and honestly, I almost didn’t hit record tonight. But that’s exactly what this episode is about—grit and showing up when it’s hard.

I share the reality of what it takes to build something meaningful: recording hours of course content, juggling real deals with investors and lenders, handling personal struggles, and still pressing forward with no true days off.

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about committing, pushing through discomfort, and showing up even when you’re running on empty. Because the truth is, most people quit right before the breakthrough.

If you’re tired, stressed, or doubting yourself—this one’s for you. You’re stronger than you think. Keep swinging.

Most people have no business getting into multifamily real estate. It’s slow, risky, and messy — and if you don’t have the stomach for years of grind, you’ll get crushed.

In this episode, I break down the brutal truths about multifamily investing: the sleepless nights, the endless “no’s,” the tenant headaches, the financial risks — and why this game isn’t for everyone.

Then I’ll share who does thrive in multifamily: the hungry, the patient, the resilient. And I’ll give you a simple litmus test — my free Small Axe Deal Analyzer — to see if you’re really cut out for this world.

What if I told you the secret to growth in real estate, business, and life is collecting as many “nos” as possible? In this episode, I break down why rejection isn’t failure—it’s information, momentum, and often just the first step toward a yes.

I share stories from my own journey as a teacher, investor, and dad—whether it’s negotiating with sellers, asking vendors for discounts, building teams, or parenting. You’ll learn how to:

• Reframe rejection as opportunity

• Build resilience and confidence through hearing “no”

• Turn obstacles into stepping stones toward your next win

• Set the challenge of chasing 10 nos today

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, afraid of rejection, or waiting for the perfect yes, this episode will help you shift your mindset and keep moving forward relentlessly.
