QLS Live 2025: Learn Creative Financing & Build Your Real Estate Community

How do you get started in real estate? And if you're in real estate, please stay with me, 'cause I want you to understand there's ways to parlay whatever you're doing, parlay onto it the creative world. But how do you get started properly with all the noise going on in the industry? When I say noise, I've been screaming about this for years, but it's gotten a lot worse. We know how to do deals. It's how I started and why I started the company, to get deals done. And I now work with the High 6 and a special club called the President's Club to do what? Just do deals, okay? There's other team members and other family members that love building the company. Again, if I haven't said it 15 times already, I like doing deals. Unlike us, a lot of people are marketing to you guys pretty heavy to sell you stuff, and then nothing comes behind it for support. Nothing comes behind it to do deals, right? So let's just do this. How do you get started, or how do you reset? Because I'm clear on one thing, the last 5 years, probably you'd agree with me, went by like that, right? It's a blur. So would you be okay if in 2030— I know that sounds crazy, but so did 2025 during COVID right? It seemed like it was far away. 2030 is going to come like this, just like the last 5 years went by. And are you going to be okay if you're in the same spot? I would guess not. So let's be honest. Let's do a gut check here on this Motivational Monday, right? Where are you right now? Let's kind of take an inventory. Where are you with your finances? Where are you with your schedule? Does your schedule match what you're trying to accomplish? I can usually look at my community members and say, all right, I get what this is, what you're trying to do. Let me see your schedule. Let me see what you did for the last like 3 weeks. Well, that doesn't sync up with what you're trying to accomplish. So is it just a pipe dream or are we trying to do this? And then let's, I guess, take a gut check. Are you enjoying what you're doing? You know, I've lost some good friends. I've lost my older brother back, oh gosh, 15 years ago now. Life is too short. So are you actually enjoying what you're doing? I was Googling some stats and it said that the number one stress, number one in most surveys, is the person's J-O-B. That blew me away. Finance is like second. So, so both of these issues I can nail today for you, but gosh, don't— if you don't like what you're doing— if you love what you're doing, God love you. Come at our community with the mindset of, hey, these 3 payday deals are worth like $45 grand to $350 grand. Maybe I'll do 1, 2, or 3 a year. Or if you don't love, love, love, love, love what you're doing in your lifestyle and your schedule, then when would now be a really good time to get after this and let us show you a path? Because we've been doing it since 2014. Just last week, actually, 2 new people, one in the President's Club actually, gave their notice for W-2. That is pretty cool, guys. All right, next, after you take an inventory, where is it then that you want to be in 5 years, in 2030, right? Where is it? Let's get really clear. And if you keep rowing in the same direction, you're gonna get there. That's all this is about, a little gut check. Understand this when I say we know how to do deals. It's been 12 years in business and it's coming up on our 10th year QLS Live event. We understand the metrics now. We know how many people you have to chat with, or your VAs, your virtual assistants, and then how many of those have to come to you, and then how many of those you have to convert. And then we know how much in your particular area your 3 paydays will be. So this is very, very predictable. If and when you're serious, we talk the truth about the truth. I think you probably know that now if you're following us. If you're new to us, just understand that one of our many values in the company is clear, blunt, and to the point. And so we're gonna always tell you exactly like it is. We care, period. Those others that just market to you, they have one goal: market and sell units. Our goal: bring you into the community, let you see the big picture, let you create a lifestyle. An experience. It's not a program. An experience what it is that we're doing. I'm assuming you want results. You watch these Motivational Mondays. I'm assuming you want results. So with that assumption, why haven't you personally committed to— it doesn't have to be us, but committed to a community or a coach yet? It could be trust. It could be you're unclear where you want to go. And if you're unclear, that's a disaster. The other side is really cool. If you're clear, or when you're clear, Exponential growth can happen. You might not have the money or you think you don't have the money because I was dead broke coming out of 2008 crash and I just had my mind set on getting into this mastermind for $25,000 and I didn't have 2 cents. My credit was trashed. I had creditors chasing me. I had it all going on but I got resourceful. I pulled in a partner. Some of you have decent credit. You can pull in other funding sources. We have them. In fact, go to smartrealestatecoach.com/funding. They fund our experiences. That's what they do. It took us 4 years to get approved by them. So put the money thing aside. You could find money. If I said to you right now, hey, if you're in my audience and you get a $100 bill, come up here, you hand it to me, I'll give you $200, you would go find— and I gave you an hour to do it, you'd go find it, right? I've told this story before. Why would you go find it? Because I just told you it's a guarantee. So although I can't guarantee your results with us because I don't know you, I guarantee we have the metrics. And if you're coachable and will follow it, yes, you'll have a great result just like everybody else, right? Now, Another reason you might not have jumped into a community or us yet would be you don't think that the results can happen for you personally. I will tell you guys for the last, again, 12 years that the social proof and the proof within the Wicked Smart community is rampant. All you gotta do is take action. And again, we're not unfortunately great marketers, but we know how to do deals. So I hope you found us at the right time in your life where you can start making some changes. Now I will just tell you from a timing standpoint, if you look at what's going on right now in the economy and politically and real estate and interest rates, you look at all that stuff going on, it's sort of a perfect storm. I'll call it that for lack of a better way to explain it. In my 34 years, 34 years this fall at our 10th year annual QLS Live event coincidentally, at that point in my career, I look back and go, I honestly don't know when all the variables Not one, not two, not three, but a whole bunch came together at the same time. And it's been such a cool time, and the horizon is really cool for creative real estate. This is one of the times where you guys— and the reason I want to do this particular video this week— where you guys will look back and go, that was really cool that I got started then. Because you got some wind behind your sails, right? A little harder when things are shitty, but if you're set up by then, you know how to pivot, you know how to do that. And if you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that you could succeed What would possibly stop you, right? I, I don't think anything could. Now I want to put our money where our mouth is. You are hopefully seeing this in time for this promo because I know it's going to live for a long time. Today, this week, this month, when you buy a QLS ticket at the early bird special of $199, you're talking dirt cheap, guys. We feed you at our QLS live event in October, and I can tell you the food's just under that per, per head. It's amazing. I don't know anyone that does that. You'll have an amazing experience there and you'll be fed very well, breakfast and lunch. So anyone who buys that ticket now will also get a free, F-R-E-E, full robust QLS home study course that's $1,500 on our website right now. Okay, so there's a window here. Again, I hope you're seeing this in time. If you go to qslive.com— QLSlive.com. And you purchase your early bird ticket for $199, you get the course for free. I hope I just eliminated all barriers for you if you're sitting on the sidelines. If you're already in the business and you're all the other niches or whatever, this is even better for you because your, your learning curve will be so short. Off to the races you go. Go to qlslive.com, guys, and I'd love to see you there. It's in Boston in the financial district, so it's easy to fly and it's a T-stop or 2 Uh, from the airport, and it's at a gorgeous facility right in the, in the heart of the financial district. All right, opportunity is interesting. So I want to say this in, in light of the special we're running because we've never done that. Opportunity is interesting. It finds a path, right? So if you wait till everything is perfect, opportunity is going to find another path, just like water. I've had water leaks in my, in my homes over the years, right, from outdoor porches or whatever, and where the water comes in is never where the leak is. Water finds the easiest path, right? Well, opportunity does that too. So if you're passing it because your finances are not perfect, or because your schedule's not perfect, or because your spouse is not sure yet and the kids are busy, all these things, we all have them. We all have them. Opportunity will find another path. That's it. 2LSLive.com is going to bring you into our event for 2 days. You're going to hang out with us. You're going to have some top-notch speakers. We have one of the speakers going to be there, by the way. Who's had millions, millions of views on his TEDx talk. I don't care if you're brand new, you can benefit from this. If you've got an established business, you can benefit from a reset. If you're a landlord, I'm going to show you how you can teeter and wealth stack and stop being— stop being a landlord, get the same benefit or more, get the same profit or more, but not having the headaches. If you're a wholesaler, flipper, a realtor, I invite you to open your mind to something that could capture you deals you're presently throwing away. So you're doing wholesaling, flipping, or you're a realtor, you are throwing business away. I promise you that. Guaranteed. That I can use with this one. You come and I'll show you how to convert the stuff you're throwing away. And if you're a W-2 and you love it, like I said earlier, how about a supplemental income? Or how about you love your income, you keep it, because we have a couple doctors and an attorney in our group. In our community, but you plow deals through your self-directed IRA. Just an idea. And lastly, the way I open, if you're in a W-2 and you hate it, please, please, please do yourself and your family a favor. Come to the QLS Live event. You'll consider it the best 2 days you ever spent. And although it's ridiculously cheap, if you come up to me day 2, Tuesday, October 7th, 2025, and say, hey Chris, this wasn't as good as I thought. You know what you said on that video? Nah, it wasn't for me. I'll refund you every penny that you took to get there, whether it's gas or plane or whatever it is, all right? qslive.com. We'll see you in Boston October 6th and 7th. I hope this gut check, whether I ever meet you again, helps you make a move somewhere in the creative real estate space. Make it a great week. We'll see you next week on the next Motivational Monday. Thank you.
