Key Takeaways:
Matt describes himself in one word as "Driven". I feel very blessed that I was introduced to real estate in an early age. If you want to buy a house a year, you can, and it might not be the first year. It might be the second or third or fourth, but you don't go out to have drinks. If I'm going to take time out of my day to go sit down with someone, I'm hoping that they're truly going to go take that advice and implement it. "If you want money, ask for advice. If you want advice, ask for money". I've been in the real estate business for 12 years. I started when I was 17. I found mentors. I sat down every day for an hour with anyone I could, learn real estate. The thing that I struggle with is I spent a lot of time networking. I'm always working deals. I want to give my time to people, I really do. It's super frustrating for me, when I want to go help someone and I don't find out they're serious. I think it's implementing a structure that I can put in place to still give people what I want to give them. I'm pretty big recently on just scheduling everything. Like I schedule time with the boys, it's on my calendar, two or three times a week, there's a two hour window. It's that's big money in front of your eyes, but you got to do the right thing. I don't need to own a hundred percent of anything. I just want to have the value that I bring, get taken care of.Episode Timeline:
