Did anyone watch the live reveal? I was busy but keen to hear how it went, what is was like? Any takeaways if you did see it? I did get the audiobook, so I might have some points once I listen to it.

hey guys, who're in the real estate niche? let's connect

One of the hardest and loneliest battles you’ll have to fight as you work to build the life you want is maintaining unwavering self belief that you will make it despite having *nothing* to show for it over a 2-3 year period before you see “overnight” success. You’ll feel like an imposter telling others what you’re building and who you believe you’ll become. It’s not entirely because of what they think or will say about you, but because you’ll start to question yourself. Am I really this guy? Can I actually pull this off? Am I really destined for greatness? The answer is yes but you have to believe in yourself despite having minimal successes to back it up as you work towards the big breakthrough that will inevitably come.

For so long, I thought hustle was everything. If I just worked harder, stayed up later, powered through, I’d eventually hit the success I was chasing. But here’s what no one tells you: burnout doesn’t lead to breakthroughs. I used to think taking a break meant falling behind, like I was losing ground if I wasn’t constantly in motion. But what I learned the hard way is that pushing yourself to the limit doesn’t lead to better results, it leads to exhaustion. And exhaustion? It kills creativity, productivity, and your passion. It took me years to realize that rest is where growth happens. Not just physical rest, but mental and emotional recharge. Stepping back allows you to come back stronger, with fresh ideas and renewed focus. I’ve seen people in my circle pull off incredible things, not because they worked more hours, but because they respected their energy. They knew when to push and when to pause. I used to glorify the hustle, thinking it made me more productive. Now I know better: balance is what makes you unstoppable. When you give yourself permission to rest, you create space for clarity and innovation. Your best ideas will never come when you’re running on fumes. So if you’re feeling guilty for not constantly grinding, let me tell you this: rest is not the enemy of progress. It’s the fuel that keeps you going. Remember, you’re not a machine. You’re a human being with limits and acknowledging those limits is how you go the distance. Success isn’t about who can work the hardest. It’s about who can sustain the journey. Take the break. Recharge. And watch how much more powerful you become.

The biggest breakthrough I ever had in business? Learning to say "no" more than I say "yes" At first, you think you need to say yes to every opportunity, every client, every deal that comes your way. You’re scared to let something pass by. But the second you realize that "your time is more valuable than just staying busy", everything changes. When you surround yourself with people who say "no"to things that don’t align with their goals, you’ll see they’re not working harder—they’re working smarter. Even half of the top 1% don’t have packed calendars, and still manage to pull in six-figure months without the burnout. So, are you still going to chase every shiny thing that comes your way, filling your schedule with tasks that don’t move the needle? HELL NO. I’ve seen people in my circle say no to projects worth $20,000 because they knew it wasn’t the right fit, and then turn around and land deals worth ten times that. While some people are killing themselves for scraps. Once you change your belief about "what is worth your time", your business and your life will change. The truth is, you can’t take every opportunity that looks good on paper. If it’s not aligned with your values and your long-term vision, it’s a distraction. The easiest way to level up isn’t just by doing more work. It’s by "doing the right work". By saying no to things that drain you, you create space for the opportunities that bring you closer to your goals. Let me tell you, when I started saying no to projects that didn’t fit my bigger vision, my business skyrocketed. It also keeps you sane. So remember: "saying no" isn’t about rejecting money, it’s about "accepting freedom". It’s a mindset shift that’ll keep you from being pulled in a thousand directions, and help you focus on the things that really matter.
