As I walk this journey, I’m realizing that life mirrors my thoughts and feelings about myself. I missed the 5am High Performers group because I told myself, “I’m not getting up at 2am PST.” But here’s the thing—I’ve worked that shift for someone else before. So, what’s really holding me back? I’ve decided not to be hard on myself. Instead, I’ll keep moving forward. Fast forward to Tuesday night: what I could have been doing with the High Performers at 5am, I’m doing now. It’s hunting time! I posted, I called, I took action. Why just comment on a post when I can make a call? That’s how I met George. He works for a wholesaler’s company and has a 7-unit under contract. Local banks won’t touch it—vacant property, no financials. As he told me about the property, I asked more about him and the buyer, the story behind the deal. Whether or not this deal closes, the lesson is clear: show up prepared, ready to serve. That’s the real win—just keep showing up with an attitude of service. The rest will follow.

At the end of the "about" page there is a sentence: "Join MBM to graduate from broker to lender." I know the definition difference between the two; however, I'm trying sort out the statement according to the upgrade (Academy vs. Mastery) offer. I should probably book a call with the "man with the plan". Looking for feedback. Thank you.

Let me be very candid about something I didn't appreciate until AFTER I had published my book, "Financing the Unbankable Deal". Because this book is written specifically to speak to our ideal client avatar, the CRE investor, it hit me after I finished it that it could be a great training tool for commercial mortgage brokers. Why? Because I worked very hard to write the subject matter in a very consumable manner. One that the CRE investor could easily digest and finish reading in 2-3 weekends. The feedback (5 stars⭐) from my investor-readers confirms we accomplished this goal. The most frequent compliment from readers is how easy a read it was, while still providing a lot of substance. I use the analogy of serving prime rib🥩 so tender that it melts in your mouth. 🔥Back to my revelation: What if I taught other CMBs to communicate bridge lending to their prospects precisely like I communicate those concepts in my book? That is the secret sauce🥣 of the conference calls and the videos. The book's testimonials validate this approach to discussing the BLISS method with investors. If you internalize this one thing, you will reap 100X the value of the book. FYI, don't be fooled, I don't need to sell books. If anyone reading this wants a free PDF of my book. Ask and you shall receive. Just type "send FTUD" in the comments. However, if it makes you money, then I would appreciate an honest review on Amazon, which only counts if it's a verified purchase.

Last week, I had a great 1-on-1 onboarding with a new member. They had a 9-5 that they must work to pay the bills. I encouraged them to make a big change which may help some of you. Eric Thomas, the great motivational speaker, gave a speech https://a.co/d/dbiHHWQ in this 7min video that's the inspiration for his book called You Owe You: Ignite Your Power, Your Purpose, and Your Why. Watch it only if you want to change your life. 🎯Mindset shift: Your 9am-5pm effort is for someone else. Their goals, profits, and dreams. Others say 5-9pm should be for you. But I say don't give yourself your leftovers. Commit your best to yourself first, meaning get up early, and work 5am-9am FOR YOU. Give you your best energy, freshest ideas, and the first fruits of your labor. You owe you. I am writing this at 7:15am and candidly I don't have a 9-5 job. I have a 24/7 passion to serve that thankfully provides for all my financial needs. but there was a time when it couldn't. Because of Eric Thomas, I changed my start time to 3am and it changed my life. Working a full six hours before most people get their morning coffee supercharged my confidence and my results. You owe you your best. Give it. No, demand it, and watch the transformation happen. "be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind" Rom 12:2 ⏲️Implementation plan: Start by going to bed at 9pm. Ben Franklin said it best "Early to bed, early to rise. Makes one healthy, wealthy, and wise." Get up(no snooze) one hour early every month until you hit your start goal. Let your excitement for achieving your dream be your alarm clock. 🔥Warning: starting your day working for your future will change how you view your day job and it will not be long for this Earth. You may even find new energy to work at 5pm-9m for you as well. You will not want to work 2mins on someone else's business when yours requires your love and attention.
