Mistakes in business can be very costly and it can take you down.” “I don’t see it as a job, I see it as a passion, so I don’t see myself calling it work.

THE BEST OF SEASON 1

2022 was a great year. As we conclude the first season of Uncontested Investing, I want to look back on all the experiences and lessons, so we can take them into 2023 and use them to grow further. Listen now to discover what I learned in 2022 and how these lessons and experiences have prepared me for this year! Quotables “What I found after 21 years in this industry is you don’t know what you don’t know. No one knows everything and everyone knows something.” “The point is you’ve got to have a plan and you’ve got to plan your work and work your plan, and don’t let your work, work you.” “You should not be hoping or wishing, you should be planning.” “The thing about food, water, and shelter is as long as you provide a quality home at an affordable price, I think you’ll always have demand.” “When you network and meet other people, you actually get on the ladder where they’re at. You can skip all the wrongs that they had to climb.” “You have to wait, you have to have a plan, you have to work towards that end goal.” “Having a plan and delaying gratification is the number one way to be successful.” “Don’t keep doing the same thing, expecting the same result – that’s the key!” “Now is the time to formulate your plan. Now is the time to get your capital in a row, then go execute on your plan.”

Quotables “What we’re in is a marathon and not a sprint, so take a long view. I’m making investment decisions today for great grandchildren 50 years from now that I’ll never know.” “Don’t stop at the headline, read the copy. Right now, what you’re dealing with is “the market is crashing” and so forth – the market’s not crashing, it’s correcting, but if you stop at the headline, you’ll be riddled with fear.” “If you think you’re going to keep one house this year, keep two. If you think you’re going to keep one this month, keep two. If you think you’re going to keep five this quarter, keep six.” “Here’s the thing that I learned – when you talk about 10x-ing, that first 10x is the hardest.” “I’ve watched small entrepreneurs wash out day after day because they didn’t have a solid business plan that’s going to make them money.” “Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart. Work hard, it’ll get you through every short fall that you’ve got.”
