In this monologue, Guillaume Black argues that merely purchasing courses provides knowledge but does not translate into income or results. He emphasizes that community is the key driver of momentum, accountability, and sustained action. Knowledge becomes valuable only when it is innovative and offers a first‑mover advantage; otherwise it is a commodity. Black explains that when challenges arise, having peers who are pursuing the same goals and achieving success keeps individuals on track. He describes accountability as regular check‑ins on metrics such as weekly viewings and offers made. He notes that many investors quit in isolation, mistaking lack of progress for failure, when they simply haven’t done enough. Citing his own experience of over 3,250 offers accepted in the past year, he illustrates the power of a thriving community. Finally, he warns that you become the average of the five investors you spend the most time with, so selecting the right community members is crucial.

If you keep buying courses, but nothing changes, the problem isn't the information. Courses give you knowledge, community gives you momentum. Unless the knowledge is crest of the wave, innovative, that gives you an edge, that gives you a first mover advantage, knowledge is a commodity and community keeps you on track. So when it gets hard, and it will, you need people around you who are going to be doing the same thing and winning at your activity. Accountability means someone's asking you, how many viewings have you done this week? How many offers have you done this week? And keeping you on your toes. And most investors you'll find quit in isolation. They think it's not working when actually they've just not done enough yet. AdProps filter or members I've had more than 3,250 offers accepted in the last 12 months alone. And that's the power of community moving together. You become the average of the 5 investors you spend the most time with, so choose wisely.
