I met this guy through an one of my lead generating activities regarding a $900K condo in Birmingham, Michigan (high networth, high property tax area). He wasn't really interested after showing the property.
A month later I decided why not pick his brain for some advice.
I sent him a text message offering lunch on me for exchange of his time, he agreed. I chose the place, we set a time.
First thing he suggested and really emphasised was learning to read Financial Statements.
2nd thing was "The Grind". His process consisted going to gatherings of CEO's, executives and other major decision makers in his industry, networking, putting manufacturing contracts in place etc. - working a minimum of 65 hours a week sometimes 80-100 hours. This eventually lead to contracts that netted him millions of dollars.
3rd piece was truly believing in yourself, being able to already see yourself where you want to be.
4th, purchasing SFH's that need work in nice areas and flipping or renting. (He owned 57 homes & apartments at one point).
To boil it down, his main strategy for wealth was buying low and selling high. He also bought troubled businesses, increased sales and resold them.
This individual has now become apart of my network allowing me to leverage his extensive list of connections.
All I invested was $57 including tip!
