But I will guarantee you, guarantee you, if you come to me in a year and you show me the 3 deals, I'll find 3 times what you're gonna pay for coaching. You will leave money on the table. Happens every year with people. Business credit. I don't know why this kept coming up in the last 2 or 3 weeks. Maybe because it's the new year. You guys all should be looking at, if you didn't yet, building business credit. And that's, that's using 7 Figures for business credit only, because you can use them personally too, or Fund and Grow. Doesn't matter who you go to, but start to build on your ID number, your federal ID number business credit. And it takes time, and it's a 2 to 5 year process. So go ahead and make sure you start that, um, for your own sake. So 2 or 3 years down the road, you have access to capital that's not hitting your Social Security number or your credit report. That's cool. That's what you all want to have ultimately. And there's no end to it. You keep building it. But if you didn't get started, get started. I'll take a breath here in a second after housekeeping. You can ask questions if you have any questions on that. Um, I came up in the office visit yesterday, but it— Steve and I must have heard this, I don't know, a dozen times in the last month. And that is, we don't want to call you guys because we think you're too busy. We don't want to Slack you. We think you're too busy. We don't want to ask you for help because you think it— Split us. We'll figure out a way to get it done. That's, that's the best. You can't stop asking us for help. Over the years, the casualties have come from people doing that, right, Steve? That— I mean, right across the board. Yeah. And Nick, you know, our— the company, when people disappear, oh, I didn't want to bug you, or I thought I had it, I didn't want to act like I didn't have— no, you don't have it. Uh, after 33 years, you guys are throwing deals at me that, that I sometimes go, that's cool, it's different. It's always changing in real estate. You don't have to have a habit. Take advantage of the coaching while you're in contract to have coaching, right?
So think of this. I just wanted to add to that. Think of this, that in, in 2 years or in 3 years, are you going to look back at all the deals you did on your own? Oh no, I didn't need any help for this. This was all mine. Or are you going to look at your total number of deals? Uh, no one cares if you get Help. It, it's a sign of strength, actually. It's not weakness. It's the opposite of what you think.
Yeah, I had a call with a gentleman, and, um, Rick's talked to this guy. He's in New Hampshire, and I'm 99.9% sure he's going to join us. He's a class act, Steve. Um, Rick, and I said, Steve, look, you can go do deals, but I will guarantee you, guarantee you, if you come to me in a year and you show me the 3 deals, I'll find 3 times what you're gonna pay for coaching. You will leave money on the table. Happens every year with people that come to the event. The famous couple that comes to every event, and they they they are vulnerable enough to give me their deal to show me what they completed, and I find twenty-five grand in it. So you'll do deals, but do them with us, and you'll you'll take full advantage of your you'll optimize your coaching.
