He is on the show today to tell us more about his journey, what fuels his passion, and how he overcame adversity through the years. Quotables “Pick one first and run with it, so before you diversify yourself into 4 or 5 income streams, make sure you’re good at one, that way you could pay the bills with that.” “Businesses are either going up or going down. There’s not a plateau. There’s no steady state, that doesn’t exist.” “Just go and take action. Go implement everything you’ve dreamed of – if you want to be a real estate investor, go buy something.
