Hey there! Just wanted to take a moment to say hi 👋 and introduce myself, and I'm really excited to be part of this community. I'm new to the topic/interests of the community, but super eager to learn, and grow

Phone rang today (TBH first thought was to let it go to voicemail), scrambled to get headphones on, hit record, and picked up the call. Deal is at CAT3 step. Past few months, agent was filling my inbox so I explained we don't buy retail. Earlier this week, he brought a motivated seller whose father is in the hospital. Immediately sensed he was rushed because taking Friday off, using improved phone skills, was able to slow things down and bring him to a somewhat personal level. Then, he asked where I’m at with an offer, and my mind went blank. Spent the next couple of minutes on fluff, talking about how I’ll run numbers and talk it over with the group, lack of dominance, and sandwich-making. Once hung up and released the fear state of mind, it hit me - Low_Quick_Cash. I’ve emailed dozens of CLOQCs but never spoke to one on a call. Hungry Joe Cheetah watching tail to know whether to zig or zag next time…

You saw the cheetah clip. It didn’t miss the gazelle and throw a tantrum, start journaling about its worth, or cry to its therapist about “the one that got away.” Nope. It failed forward — fast. Logged the mistake. Adjusted. Got back in the game. So here’s your move: What’s one decision that wrecked you… and what did you learn from it that made you sharper? Not here to vent. Here to evolve. Drop your story below and show us how you turned your faceplant into forward motion.

Let's make some money.

🔥 Just read Marco’s latest “Big Beautiful Bill” breakdown and let me tell you — this one hit different. #GameChanger 💥 As someone who’s closed multimillion-dollar deals with no cash, no credit, and no partners (just structure 😏), I can confirm: THIS IS THE MOVE. Marco laid out real sauce for those of us who don’t wait on banks or the government to “get it right.” We move when the market panics — and we close with calm confidence. 🧘🏾‍♀️💼 Here’s what I pulled from the article — and why it matters for real asset buyers like me 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 1️⃣ Big legislation = Big leverage These bills create chaos — and that chaos births structure-based power. Use it. 2️⃣ You don’t need cash or credit Marco’s right. I’ve built a portfolio without either. You just need control + comps. 3️⃣ Motivated sellers are gold Find the seller with pressure and the asset with potential — game over. 🏁 4️⃣ Creative finance is elite Forget traditional. Equity carry, seller notes, JV splits — that’s my real toolkit. 5️⃣ Speed closes deals While others overthink, I close in 23 days. EMSA locked. Structure clean. 6️⃣ Structure pays you Day 1 I build in my salary. No shame in it — if I’m the dealmaker, I get paid. 7️⃣ The wealthy zig when others zag When the media cries, I structure and buy. This is the moment. 8️⃣ Repetition = wealth These waves keep coming. If you missed one, another’s on the way. Get ready. 9️⃣ Authority = proof of work Marco didn’t just teach it. He lived it. That’s what I respect. 🔟 It’s not a disaster — it’s a cheat code You either see the advantage or you get swallowed by the fear. I choose faith + facts. 🕊️ If you haven’t read that post, don’t sleep. 📚 👉🏾 https://marcokozlowski.substack.com/p/big-beautiful-bill-repercussions?inf_contact_key=46203cc8c3b9d22895fbc22a8ca54403b7af0999dac2af6212784c39e05d2aef Much love to Coach Marco for this one. You reminded me why we stay in position. Let the noise be noise. I’m here for structure, stewardship, and stacking legacy. 🙏🏾
