Hey, it's Chris Prefontaine. Welcome to this week's Motivational Monday. I will guarantee you that aside from the skill set of performing deals, real estate on your terms, and the creative real estate space, besides the skill set that you'll learn, there are so many other things that you need to pay attention to in order to make sure you progress in this lovely world of real estate on your terms. Let me explain why I'm saying that. I left my one of 3 naturopaths last week, left his office. I'm driving home and I thought to myself, wait a minute, he gave me a report that was probably, I don't know, 15 or 20 pages long. Now, now keep in mind, this has nothing to do with my primary care physician. And you're gonna figure out in a few seconds why I'm bringing this up and not, not talking real estate with you right this second. He's one of 3. He's nothing to do with my primary. And I have an acupuncturist and 2 naturopaths that do different things. This particular one does body scans, body fat, does executive physicals, things like that outside of the realm of the insurance world, right? It's an à la carte monthly service. Call whenever you want. Why am I sharing this with you? Every 3 months I go in and see him, and the reason is there's accountability built in there, right? Number one. So when I go in, he checks the body scan, the fat, the lean mass, the muscle, all of that, and it gets monitored. So I know in 90 days I'm going to be seeing him. So I know when I make decisions on a daily basis for the next 3 months, they're going to affect that report. And I don't want that because we set goals together. This is no different than real estate. It's just another piece of what I call stacking, if you will, stacking that is necessary for you to become an entrepreneur, for you to become a CEO of your own business. These things are important. I wish it— I really, really wish it was, hey guys, Go ahead and go through our QLS home study course, and because of that, because you'll learn the 3 paydays and you have all the agreements, you'll just be an expert in real estate. You may be from a skill set-wise side of things, but reality comes in when you have your own business. And if you if you have your own business, you know exactly what I'm talking about, and this resonates. And if you haven't, reality sets in when you move from a J O B to your own business, and you go, "Well, wait a minute! No one's telling me what to do. Where's my schedule? What?" And then there's challenges. There's money challenges, there's people challenges, there's property challenges. How do you wrestle with all those? You be at the top of your game mentally and physically, in my opinion, and, and with your mindset. So that's why we have a Genius Model. The Genius Model is packed, packed with topics that we've developed that surrounded— that are surrounded by the 3 pillars in the Genius Model. Skill set, sure, that's learning how to do the deal. Mindset, and then systems, which is also easy to learn. So it's the mindset piece that really cranks people with the challenges. So now why why else am I telling you the story about the the doctors? Well, three years ago in August of twenty-one, well I'm talking to you here in September of twenty-four. Three years ago, my weight was twelve pounds heavier. My muscle was significantly less. My fat content was up to like twenty-seven percent or so, or twenty-six, whatever it was. It's under twenty. All of these things were set 3 years ago, and I'm going to equate this to real estate in a second. But for about 2 and a quarter years, they didn't budge much. They didn't budge, and I was working my can off. So I thought, well, what the heck? This is so similar to real estate where you grind it out, grind it out, grind it out. I don't know if this works in my area. I don't know if this works in my price range. I don't know if this works for me. And then boom, you get a deal that changes your life. That can happen, and it will happen if you stick around, right? That's the thing. Rick Abbiati in our community, 15 months to his first deal, then 4 deals all over $100 grand, all 3 paydays within 4 or 5 months. Chad in Colorado, no deal for 12 months, all of a sudden, boom, 3 or 4 owner financing deals, very similar to Rick, $100 grand each. Now, honestly, were there some people that quit within that 3-year period? Yep. During my August of 21 to August of 24 run for the health goals, were there people in our community hitting their 12th month and hitting their first deal? Hitting their 6th month, hitting their first deal? Yeah. Were there people that probably quit? Yep. Yep. So all this to say 2 things. One, it's a journey. It's not even a 3-year journey. Brian Tracy on my podcast said it's a 7-year journey. So that's number one. Be prepared for that. Now, you You can change your life financially and otherwise by doing it, but it's going to be a journey. Just know that. Okay? Number one. Number two, there are all these other things. I used health today because when I'm at the top of my game in that, I'm at the top of my game in my businesses, right? So there are all these other things that the Wicked Smart community helps with. Again, I wish it would just, hey, I'll show you how to do a deal and you're off and running. No, it's not that easy. So we're here to help you do that.
