A deal sourcer questions whether hunting for deals is actually fun when most turn out badly. He compares the grind to bodybuilding until failure, where you keep going until you can't anymore. A pipeline of contacts keeps feeding him deals despite the burnout.
You want to build a— if you want people to send you deals, because going out and finding deals, Kathy, is it fun to go out and find deals? But is it fun to find deals when everything you look at turns to shit? It starts getting like boring. It's all fun for me still. And people, bodybuilders do this a lot. They work out, they get so strong that they can't, like, they can't put 10,000 pounds on both sides of the bar. The bar will break in half. So now they work out until they fail. And that's where I'm at. Like, I, I, I do deal sourcing until I have fatigue, can't live to do another deal, right? And the reason why is because I've set up myself with a pipeline of people to feed me deals too.
