Some people work with me, some people work with Rick, some people do masterminds, some people don't. Like, they're just different experiences. Remember we talked about exposure and experience? That's all this is about. That's it. Other than numerically. Mathematically. Okay. On that note, I'll share. Okay, let me share this then. So, has everybody read the book? The real Sandy Charles book? You just finished it, but has everybody read it? So you know most of my story. Thanks. There you have it. So, I mean, I don't have six hours, but the bottom line was I had no zero money. Everyone in that apartment literally we had to get an office close to the. It's like a walk to it, right? Nick and I were in the office, then we started building again. So that was in like 2010, '11. So why do I share that? When I was approached by 8 guys saying, hey, we're going to put this group together and we're going to crack the mold of high-end terms, like talk $2, $3, $4, $5, $10 million houses term. No one knew if we could do it. We just put this group together. I got asked to be in it. So it was $25,000. I said, I don't have it. So I called around, called around, called around. I ended up maybe, I don't know, it was the 5th call. A buddy of mine I went to Bentley College with for 1 year, lives in Boston. He said, I'll do that. What I proposed to everybody, you know, he took it, was this. I wasn't bankable. I couldn't go to the funding sources we have now. I said, you put up the $25,000. I will give you a piece of my deal, 33% of every deal I do until you're 100% returned. So you get your $25,000 back once you make $25,000. Not too many people can say no to that. What did that take? Me believing I could do it. That's all it was. Everybody, everyone that's ever gone through our QLS program believed they could do it, they would do it. Because the proof of concept's crazy now. We've done it too long. So it's just belief. All this stuff comes down to belief.
