I've been in enough rooms to know the type.
14 minutes of a 15-minute conversation is them.
- Deals they've done.
- Strategies they've moved past because it was "too easy to make money" *cough* wholesaling *cough*
It’s talk dressed up as networking but really just an audition nobody asked for.
And somehow those are the people being called the Big Dogs.
But two months ago, I met a woman at a conference who started crying mid-conversation.
She spoke about her son.
How he's a good person, on the right path, and becoming someone she's proud of.
How glad she is to stay up late, stressed, because she’s building something great that she’ll pass down to him.
And all that started with one question: *"So why do you invest?"*
Same industry but completely different people.
One type invests for the scoreboard, the other invests for people.
Business isn't just business.
It's who you build with and why you build at all.
Money's not the point.
People are.
