So we've got to get the word 51 00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:41,800 out. Yes, let's get it. 52 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,900 Some life-changing snakes death. Yeah. 53 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,600 So tell me a little bit about what your job title is. 54 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,400 Exactly. A how you view what you do for a 55 00:02:49,408 --> 00:02:50,900 living? Okay, awesome. 56 00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:53,400 So hi everyone. I'm Joseph Griffin. 57 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,400 I'm known as the tax deed wolf. No, I don't do taxes. 58 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,300 All right, A lot of people like, oh can you do my taxes? 59 00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:01,000 They're my inbox. And I'm like, look, we don't do 60 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,500 tax. We specialize in fact, need 61 00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:06,100 investing. So what tax deed investing is, 62 00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:09,600 is in the u.s. whenever you own a property, right? 63 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,700 Whenever you want to property, you have to pay your property 64 00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:13,300 taxes. A lot of people don't know this 65 00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:15,500 for some reason, right? But if you don't pay your 66 00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:18,500 property taxes, the county is going to Take your property and 67 00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:20,600 they're going to give it to someone else that will pay 68 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,300 property taxes right now, depending on what type of state 69 00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:25,200 you live in? We have tax lien, State's tax, 70 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,400 deed States and tax redemption date States. 71 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,500 So a lot of people are familiar with Redemption periods but with 72 00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:33,200 a tax deduction, There's No Redemption period. 73 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,100 When you win the property. It's yours immediately though. 74 00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:39,700 It's, it's yeah, it's a, it's a game changer and going on for a 75 00:03:39,708 --> 00:03:42,700 long time. If you have a mortgage a bank 76 00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:44,200 owns your property technically, right? 77 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,400 So that will go to foreclosure auction. 78 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,300 It's completely different. So a lot of people are like, oh 79 00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:52,000 wait, what about mortgages? And hey, what about this? 80 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000 What do I need to have? Do I need a license to? 81 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,100 I did a good credit score. You literally only need cash 82 00:03:57,900 --> 00:04:02,000 life-changing stuff lifetime, okay, so the reason why most 83 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,600 people probably don't know about the taxes part, and I learned 84 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,400 this from your podcast, is that it's wrapped up in your mortgage 85 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,800 payment, your taxes, like the bank takes that over because 86 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,000 they're not going to let you not. 87 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,500 Pay your yeah, they're not gonna let you pay your taxes because 88 00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:16,899 they know they could lose the property if you don't do your 89 00:04:16,899 --> 00:04:18,700 part. So, the banks like I need to let 90 00:04:18,700 --> 00:04:20,899 that happen. Let me take it over, correct. 91 00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:23,500 You're gonna flee from Iraq? Yeah, they're gonna foreclose. 92 00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:27,600 So your taxes and your insurance is known as Escrow in your 93 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,500 mortgage, so you're paying paying your taxes if you're 94 00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:32,500 paying your mortgage? Yeah, people don't know that, 95 00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:36,000 you're paying more taxes and insurance and interest than 96 00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:39,300 principal that's true in the very beginning. 97 00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:42,500 What I'm really interested in is how do you help people? 98 00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:45,200 So what's your business model that you're involved in right 99 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,000 now? Like kind of what's how are you 100 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,700 making Money. Good question. 101 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,400 So we're making hap were, how are you making money, right? 102 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,900 This is Mick. We making money. 103 00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:58,800 So if we do tax lien investing, right? 104 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,700 So at any point in time, I may have two to three tax deed 105 00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:06,100 properties that I'm actively flipping right now. 106 00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:08,600 Other than that, we are doing short term rentals. 107 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,300 We have some airbnb's properties that we own and Arbitrage, 108 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,600 right? So then on top of that, we get 109 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,900 done, we do multifamily investing as well. 110 00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:19,700 So we Purchase when I said multifamily I'm not even 111 00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:21,600 talking. Yeah I have a I have one duplex 112 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,200 but we're talking 10 plus units. Typically. 113 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,800 So for example what closing on a 17 Unit in Daytona Beach 114 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,900 currently? Right. 115 00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:30,700 We're supposed to close on that one this week. 116 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,600 So we make money from Real Estate, right, monthly cash 117 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,300 flows. Now how we help others as when I 118 00:05:37,308 --> 00:05:40,000 started doing this, people start asking me questions, right? 119 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,900 How'd you get a property for 1,900 dollars? 120 00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:43,600 How did you get a? Probably fifty thousand dollars 121 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,400 and I'm like, oh, you know, tax deduction and as I was getting 122 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,800 more and more questions, My social media is kind of blowing 123 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,700 up then. I was like, you know what, 124 00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:52,700 somebody was like, you should just make a course. 125 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,600 And I never thought people would want to know this stuff and then 126 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,200 in the numbers, just kept coming in. 127 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,900 Like hey, can I just pay you when you show me and I was just 128 00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:04,900 feeling 101, mentorships and get to know, we have this Academy 129 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,900 and you know, people, you know, they sign up, we have the online 130 00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:11,200 curriculum for teaching not only tax lien investing, but, you 131 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,700 know, there's so much more to being a real estate. 132 00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:15,800 Investor proper business structure asset protection, how 133 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,000 to understand loans, right? It using opium taxes, like 134 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,600 literally there's so much more to just buying property, so we 135 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,600 kind of showed him all that. Well, you said two things that I 136 00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:30,300 think people need explained for my listeners out there. 137 00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:33,500 Could you explain what Arbitrage is and then are you involved in 138 00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:36,200 syndication deals or these are just deals that you're putting 139 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,000 together or you pulling people together to buy real estate 140 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,700 investor Investments, the police do to push. 141 00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:45,400 First question, Arbitrage are but that the technical 142 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,400 definition of Arbitrage, Is taking something that's from 143 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,800 someone and selling it to another someone? 144 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,400 Now, this can be different markets. 145 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,100 Like, literally understanding that in this market, something's 146 00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:59,800 priced very low. So I take it and sell it in 147 00:06:59,808 --> 00:07:02,000 another Market. This can be another country, 148 00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:05,100 this can be another, you know, just another person, whatever. 149 00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:09,500 So, with Airbnb Arbitrage. What we do is we rent a property 150 00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:12,600 from a landlord because we understand the landlord's asking 151 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,800 for a little bit of money compared to what we can make off 152 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,300 that property. So while we're Grunting under 153 00:07:18,300 --> 00:07:20,600 contract with that landlord under corporate least. 154 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,200 We're putting that property on short-term rental platforms such 155 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,700 as Airbnb. VRBO booking.com, and we're 156 00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:30,100 making two to three times more than what the landlord is, is 157 00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:32,900 charging for rent. Then that is crazy. 158 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,600 So, and of course, you've got systems in place to figure out 159 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,400 how to increase the value of that property putting in things 160 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,900 that make people want to spend a little bit more or just 161 00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:46,200 marketing, it better than the actual people that own the 162 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,000 property or marketing. So it's a really good budget 163 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,200 strategy and then they also are getting the money that they need 164 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,600 for the property. You're just managing making 165 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,800 sure, I'm sure there's some, like legal issues with that. 166 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,100 People have to work out and, and all that. 167 00:07:59,100 --> 00:08:02,100 But yeah, that's a really cool way to turn a profit on 168 00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:04,900 something that you can see, might be undervalued. 169 00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:07,300 And then, for the syndication part, or are you about this 170 00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:10,200 indications or just, just you investing into a single property 171 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,600 by yourself? So, yes, the indications, the 172 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,900 same way that that Savannah does it, we find that do. 173 00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:18,800 And that's for know, eventually.

I was in North Carolinas 202 00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:46,900 Georgia. I was like a freshman in high 203 00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:48,300 school. Happy, right? 204 00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:52,200 So when I finally ended up in Atlanta, Georgia living with an 205 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,900 aunt, I will. It was almost like the Fresh 206 00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:56,000 Prince. Like I was the cousin that moved 207 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,200 in with the kind of below family. 208 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,100 They had both been prior Air Force. 209 00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:03,700 It kind of like structure me, you know, taught me things and I 210 00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:06,000 was just like, you know what, I'm gonna go to the Army because 211 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,500 the Army's got to pay for college and I was playing 212 00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:10,900 basketball when a smaller country and I didn't want to 213 00:10:10,908 --> 00:10:13,500 chance a full ride. So I was just like, you know, 214 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:16,900 IMA join the Army. So I joined the army army sent 215 00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:20,100 me to School. And then, I literally took every 216 00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:24,200 step to get to RN. I went to I was an EMT first 217 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,600 then Army sent me to LPN school and then after LPN school out, I 218 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,300 finally went, you know, bridge bridge from LPN to RN and got my 219 00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:35,000 BSN. And then, you know, after two 220 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,400 deployments, you know, doing it whatever. 221 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,800 Uncle Sam wanted me. They called you back gate. 222 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,700 I went to Afghanistan in 2013-14. 223 00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:46,800 All we have thank you for your service by the way, appreciate 224 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,500 you. Then we did a private. 225 00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:51,100 I did a private tour working with the Army, not really for 226 00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:54,500 them 2015, right? After you can make good money 227 00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:56,800 doing that. Definitely, we were yeah, it was 228 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,200 over. I was in Kuwait. 229 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,800 You know, we were taking trips by Egypt, like, doing all sorts 230 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,700 of fun stuff. There was definitely some good 231 00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:07,900 in that, but after doing this so long, we were talking about 232 00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:12,000 this, earlier, Sandra, like at some point working in me, in the 233 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,400 hospital, working in the ICU listening to, you know, people 234 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,300 like hey do this eight and this And when covid came we saw, hey 235 00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:21,200 do this this day, and then the next day. 236 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,400 Hey, do this instead, and then the next day? 237 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,300 Hey, this mask instead, you know, and if it's tiresome and 238 00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:30,100 after after a while, I was just like, you know, what, I look 239 00:11:30,100 --> 00:11:33,700 smarter than this, like, I'm literally running this ICU. 240 00:11:33,700 --> 00:11:36,900 And people are telling me what to do that are not here. 241 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,800 Running is. I see you that probably can't 242 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,600 even keep these patients alive. And I was like, that's just not 243 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,000 how I want to, you know, how I want to help by being totally do 244 00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:50,300 and so, you know, but that time and Own business and taking 245 00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:53,700 over. So how did you know that you 246 00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:54,900 wanted to get into this business? 247 00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:57,100 Because one of the things I find is that our nursing skills, 248 00:11:57,100 --> 00:12:01,400 translate into so many things, because we've got to assess and 249 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,900 we've got a monitor. And we've got to then change the 250 00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:05,200 plan. And we've got a delegate. 251 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,600 We've got all these skills that we learned in our nursing 252 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,100 career. It translates so nicely into so 253 00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:14,300 many areas. So how did you know, you wanted 254 00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:17,400 to get an attack seed investing because it's kind of random I 255 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,000 mean, most people aren't like, thinking I'm going to learn how 256 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,800 to take over people's taxes and by their properties. 257 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,400 That's not where most people are. 258 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,400 How did you figure that? This was what sung to your soul, 259 00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:29,600 right? So you, you made a very good 260 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,000 point. How you? 261 00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:34,100 The real thing is, how you do. Anything is how you do 262 00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:36,700 everything, right? So you can go, come on, push 263 00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:39,400 yourself. If you were an awesome Soldier, 264 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,300 whatever you really whatever field you jump into, you're 265 00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:44,200 gonna do good at. If that's just the type of 266 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,200 person you are. You Excel you exceeded anything 267 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,600 you do so It really happened was I didn't have or what. 268 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,500 I thought was, I didn't have enough money to be an actual 269 00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:55,900 real estate investment that, that's what I thought. 270 00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:58,700 And so, you know, I was travel nursing and I had some, I had a 271 00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:00,700 little bit of money saved up. It was like, eight thousand 272 00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:03,100 dollars at the time. And I was like, well, what how 273 00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:06,200 can I become an investor for 8 with eight thousand dollars? 274 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,700 And the first thing I did was leveraged my VA loan, right? 275 00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:13,100 Got a house, no, no money down. Got a house, okay. 276 00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:16,500 All right, then if we had hatched seed investing, and they 277 00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:18,500 weren't any Doctors for this stuff. 278 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,300 It was a lot of trial and error. A lot of phone calls going to 279 00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:25,100 the county and, you know, really figuring this stuff out and I do 280 00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:26,100 Vin. My first property. 281 00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:29,200 I got briefed for three thousand dollars and then my second one I 282 00:13:29,208 --> 00:13:33,100 got from 19:00 and I was like, wow now granted these were just 283 00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:35,900 empty lots but you know still it was man. 284 00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:39,500 This is awesome because the first one I sold for 10,000 I 285 00:13:39,500 --> 00:13:44,100 made Seven Grand and I was like and then got another one for for 286 00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:48,300 3,000 that we sold for 18,000. I was just like You know what 287 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,800 that is? Is it? 288 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,900 And here, I was just flipping, Lots selling them to builders, 289 00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:54,700 right? Getting them for really cheap 290 00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:57,000 selling them to build his. I did that for about a year or 291 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,600 two and during that process just connections and learning and 292 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,100 growing. And then now, here we are doing 293 00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:05,300 it all. You know, you really need to 294 00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:08,600 have three acquisition strategies, not just one so tax 295 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,200 deed, investing is a good entry point, right? 296 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,800 But then you do you start doing the bird method, right? 297 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,100 Then you start syndicating multifamily deals. 298 00:14:16,300 --> 00:14:19,500 You're doing a single Family home games for whatever it might 299 00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:21,400 be, they're just so many strategy, dr. 300 00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:24,600 Pol say, yeah. So it's just like being 301 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,500 Diversified in the stock market, right? 302 00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:30,000 You don't just buy one stock. Well maybe you do, but if you 303 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,100 get really lucky and by Amazon and like you're fine but if you 304 00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:36,400 don't end up buying that they say be diverse and I think 305 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,100 that's kind of what you're describing is that seeing 306 00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:41,200 diversity and in your real estate, investing kind of 307 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,400 protects you against say, some things might not go as well in 308 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,800 this area for this period of time, but that's okay because 309 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,400 I've got this I think that's generating income instead of L 310 00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:52,600 the algorithm right success loves speed. 311 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,600 So first, if you sitting there watching the stock and everyone 312 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,700 else is buying it, but you're sitting back second-guessing 313 00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:00,800 yourself, you're late right, success loves speed, same with 314 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,400 real estate, and it's the same with nursing when a patient 315 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,600 comes in especially if your ER nurse patient comes in, you have 316 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,100 to assess. You have to, you know, you have 317 00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:10,100 to triage staying with real estate. 318 00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:13,000 When something comes in from across your front desk, you have 319 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,300 to determine which Roger going to go, which lender you're going 320 00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:19,000 to call, you know, Which going to be your exit strategy. 321 00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:22,000 Like how you do anything is literally, how you doing? 322 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,900 Everything's the same system. The same algorithm. 323 00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:28,100 I just took it from Healthcare and, and put it into real estate 324 00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:31,300 and you're killing the game, and that's so awesome. 325 00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:34,400 Your Instagram account is blowing up and how many, I 326 00:15:34,408 --> 00:15:37,400 believe you've taught was it four hundred at least 400 327 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,800 students. So you've had to go through your 328 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,900 Academy that you've taught. It's we're probably at 450 to 329 00:15:42,900 --> 00:15:45,400 500 right off. Okay, a pickle. 330 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,200 Yeah, when I think that I read on your thing, I said 400. 331 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,300 So you giving up more from the time that you wrote that. 332 00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:52,900 That's crazy. It's incredible. 333 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,200 Yeah it's not amazing tool. You know I love it I just 334 00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,500 because it's the testimonies for me you know somebody that can do 335 00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:04,400 anything suddenly has business credit and and concern that 336 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,500 business credit in the cash to go get their first property or 337 00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:11,900 by the first to pledge. It's just it's a good feeling. 338 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,700 It's definitely the feel ya. So Joseph tell me about You 339 00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:20,100 know, one of the things that I like to highlight on the podcast 340 00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:22,900 is that not every deal. You walked into was a great 341 00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:24,800 deal, not everything that you did. 342 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,100 You were just like I do is win, win, win win win. 343 00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:29,400 I mean this is a DJ Cali, right?

Right. 347 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,800 We learned that it's not so much about motivation, it's about the 348 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,300 discipline. Like what you said when you show 349 00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:48,400 up and you're an excellent person, Just going to continue 350 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,000 that discipline into everything you'd go into, right? 351 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,100 The think a lot of the world is so fixated on like, oh well, you 352 00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:58,600 just had to hand it to you.

Joseph Joseph is special that 390 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,600 you're just like, I special. This is, this is what I had to 391 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,700 overcome but I just keep coming, I don't stop. 392 00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:02,700 So could you tell me a situation like that? 393 00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:07,600 You got what? Like we said, it's success was 394 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,600 just a big ol, you're looping, your little bit in your your, 395 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,300 you know, you fall down. You get back up recently. 396 00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:17,800 Well, one of the biggest things that that was hard for me was to 397 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,000 get in that shift, were always taught that like credited bat, 398 00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:23,400 right?

So then when I finally started 402 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,500 it was a big mindset shift for me to understand that. 403 00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:38,500 And which that's are good, which ones are bad. 404 00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:43,900 So, in the beginning, I was asset rich and I was Cash, poor 405 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,900 because I was using my own cash to buy everything. 406 00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:50,900 So, you know, yeah, I might have had thirty thousand dollars and 407 00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:55,700 then once I spit 25,000, I was at 5K, trying to make sure I can 408 00:19:55,700 --> 00:20:04,300 make it through till the, yeah, he just bought his fifth 409 00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:07,600 Property, not Ending that I was, I bought it with my own money, 410 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,300 right?

So then you're going because 465 00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:53,300 you're going two miles an hour, but guess what? 466 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,600 Finally, eventually you see the light? 467 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,700 Like the rain starts slowing down and then you're out the 468 00:22:58,700 --> 00:23:02,300 spoon, but if you look back, everyone that stopped and pulled 469 00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:05,400 over are still there and they're still warm, right? 470 00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:07,500 So the worst thing that you can do is stop. 471 00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:09,700 This is something that, you know, we kept going by. 472 00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:10,400 Hey, look.

I told my wife write this down, 478 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,500 right? This moment down because this 479 00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:26,700 is, this is going to be the lowest of our are low. 480 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,600 And, and we literally put it on our calendar, okay? 481 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,800 We're like, hey look, this is, this will never happen again and 482 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,800 we learn from them. And it was just amazing. 483 00:23:38,300 --> 00:23:40,900 Yeah, but you just got to keep going. 484 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,500 It sounds like again, we all had these moments where you kind of 485 00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:48,400 get tested your resolve for what you want gets tested. 486 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,900 And it always happens. I remember when I first went 487 00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:53,200 part-time, I don't know if I should have sat on the podcast 488 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,500 yet, but when I first went part-time at my job, I felt such 489 00:23:56,500 --> 00:23:58,800 strong conviction that I needed to be home more. 490 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,400 And so I said, you know what, I'm going part-time, that's it. 491 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,000 And I didn't even know how much I was going to make is a nurse 492 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,700 practitioner. Are working part-time at the 493 00:24:06,708 --> 00:24:08,600 hospital. And so I was like, I don't think 494 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,600 are I can make $10 an hour. I can make 15, I'm just I cannot 495 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,600 do this anymore. Like this is draining my life 496 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,500 source so I went and again it cut my paycheck, almost 70 497 00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:20,900 percent so it was like a huge drop. 498 00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:23,900 I was like, wait, how does 50% cut you 75? 499 00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:25,800 I don't understand the math on that, but let's just keep going. 500 00:24:26,100 --> 00:24:32,200 And then my husband lost his job and I remember being like, Oh my 501 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,200 gosh, like my husband lost his job. 502 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,700 So I went part-time. I'm in March covid, hit my 503 00:24:37,700 --> 00:24:41,200 husband got laid off, March it was all like Marx was just like 504 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:46,000 covid husband's losing his job. I'm part-time and so we were 505 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,100 like my going back and I was like, no, I'm not going back. 506 00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:53,400 I refuse to go back, right? I'm not going back to that store 507 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,600 and it ended up working itself. Out, my husband, just got a 508 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,000 lateral transfer someplace else and it ended up all being okay. 509 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,900 Now again, he applies to like 150 jobs. 510 00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:05,500 I'm pretty sure when he was like he was just hungry. 511 00:25:05,500 --> 00:25:08,800 Hustle and right. So but I just say that to say 512 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,400 like in each moment you do remember that testing of like, 513 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,300 okay, we're about to be an entrepreneur about to leave my 514 00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:17,200 nursing job.

Kind of not normal, but get 538 00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:30,300 help, no one knew. No one would even know, like I 539 00:26:30,308 --> 00:26:34,300 was literally running that running this like got to sound 540 00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:38,500 cocky or anything but Not some nurses show up for a paycheck. 541 00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:41,600 Some nurses are literally watching YouTube videos, reading 542 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,000 books, still years after graduation. 543 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,500 I was that nerds constantly studying medication. 544 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,100 I wasn't just giving meds. I know the structural like why 545 00:26:51,100 --> 00:26:54,200 this med works, why? I was going to give you vasil 546 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,000 person over, you know, over something else to get your blood 547 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,500 pressure up. Like literally it was just, it 548 00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:03,600 took effort in the beginning but it was life changing. 549 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,300 The doctor said, well then, as gods. 550 00:27:05,500 --> 00:27:08,100 The point like Hey where's Joey that's what they call me in the 551 00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:11,000 hospital, where's Joey? We want to talk to Joey you know 552 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,300 you please watch this patient blah blah, blah. 553 00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:15,900 So it, wow. You can do it. 554 00:27:15,900 --> 00:27:19,200 I remember I listen to you on. I think it was your podcast or 555 00:27:19,208 --> 00:27:20,800 something else. What I was looking you up and I 556 00:27:20,808 --> 00:27:23,700 saw that like you said you looked up certain medications 557 00:27:23,700 --> 00:27:26,600 and you were like this is going to affect their kidneys and this 558 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,900 isn't good. So like you would tell the 559 00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:31,300 doctor or the other their arses like we can't give this because 560 00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:34,600 of whatever whatever if you were like I made an intentional 561 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,700 effort. I know why I was giving 562 00:27:36,700 --> 00:27:38,900 something and what it would do but I was impressed. 563 00:27:38,900 --> 00:27:40,700 Just hearing you say that I was like dang because that takes 564 00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:43,900 extra work. Like yes, nurses are trained to 565 00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:46,700 fill in the orders of the doctors and what we should be 566 00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:49,600 focusing on is the fact that where that last line of 567 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,100 protection for those patients. And so if you have a good nurse 568 00:27:53,100 --> 00:27:56,300 at your bedside, you can make the difference in someone's 569 00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:58,800 life, because doctors, don't know everything. 570 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,500 There's sometimes residents, they're tired, they're 571 00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:03,600 overworked, they're doing the best they can. 572 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,800 And if they have a nurse at the bedside, Side. 573 00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:09,600 That is protecting, just not only the patient but also them. 574 00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:13,100 Then they are way more careful when you're raised a red flag in 575 00:28:13,100 --> 00:28:14,300 your life. We wait. 576 00:28:14,300 --> 00:28:16,400 You sure, you want to give this and they're like, nope, I'm not 577 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,800 sure I want to do this. Why don't you think? 578 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,100 I could just sit the bike because you spent the time I 579 00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:25,400 knew it was a game changer when the person who was orienting me, 580 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,700 a doctor was asking a question and then he was like, he was 581 00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:29,900 like Joey. Do you know? 582 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,300 And the question was were talking about the difference 583 00:28:32,300 --> 00:28:36,300 between like basil president and levophed or something like Yeah, 584 00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:38,800 I understand all blood pressure medications. 585 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,200 Don't work the same. Right? 586 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,300 So, you know, I broke down to him. 587 00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:44,000 I was like, what?

But if you're chasing something 717 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,600 else, which is what I really am trying to bring light to, in 718 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,300 this podcast, then that might not be the best place to invest, 719 00:35:22,300 --> 00:35:25,200 thirty thousand dollars. It might be in one of these 720 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,600 things that you're describing here of how to grow your 721 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,800 Instagram account, if that's what you want to do or how to 722 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,300 grow your personal business or how to create a course or 723 00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:35,600 whatever. Like Baby. 724 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,700 Don't go get the NBA, maybe go spin the Tyler and he had to go 725 00:35:38,700 --> 00:35:42,600 do this so that you can create that flexibility because an MBA 726 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,800 necessarily won't fulfill that for you and get you on the path, 727 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,700 if that's what you're wanting in your life. 728 00:35:48,700 --> 00:35:53,300 So, super great advice and again, yes, 100% agree with you. 729 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:58,100 Well said, hey, there's those that said it's scary. 730 00:35:58,100 --> 00:36:01,100 A lot of people will you know they won't think like that and 731 00:36:01,100 --> 00:36:05,500 they won't do it but I was I was going to school for NP and I Opt 732 00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:08,900 out after realizing that I think I was sitting at the nurses, the 733 00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:12,400 nursing station and that very weakened after, you know, 734 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,000 selling a property after getting my course and everything going 735 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,300 so that we can, I have made like 20,000 dollars in a weekend and 736 00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:22,900 I was just like, hey what am I doing? 737 00:36:22,900 --> 00:36:25,100 I was talking to all the nurse practitioners and they were just 738 00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:27,500 so stressed out there. Like I'm always here, I have to 739 00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:29,800 do all this work. It's here then I have to go 740 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,000 never going to be a doctor. Yeah, bake this and this and 741 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,300 that. And and then I found out that I 742 00:36:35,308 --> 00:36:40,400 was making water, more money, literally one of the travel 743 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,400 assignments. I think I made more money than 744 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,800 one expectations. And she was, like, I should have 745 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,000 just stayed a nurse. She was, like I said, just a 746 00:36:47,008 --> 00:36:49,800 data already and when travel nursing. 747 00:36:50,100 --> 00:36:52,700 And so that's, that's when it really hit me. 748 00:36:52,700 --> 00:36:55,500 I will text, you know, I love this knowledge but, you know, 749 00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:58,700 the time Freedom, like you said the time, freedom to just 750 00:36:58,700 --> 00:37:01,500 actually be a real estate investor anywhere. 751 00:37:02,700 --> 00:37:06,900 And and that's, that's horrible. Yes, I agree. 752 00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:09,000 I agree. That's way more powerful than 753 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,200 the stuff that they feed you in school that they tell you is 754 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,000 important. I'm just sorry, I'm going to 755 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,400 stay at. I'm going to be the person to 756 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,300 say it because I think a lot of people are afraid. 757 00:37:17,300 --> 00:37:19,400 They're afraid to say things and I'm like, you know what? 758 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,300 Like if that's what you want, good for you, go for that. 759 00:37:22,300 --> 00:37:26,200 But I am just trying to inspire nurses because what I'm hearing 760 00:37:26,300 --> 00:37:30,100 is that they are burned out and tired and you're seeing it, I 761 00:37:30,107 --> 00:37:33,600 mean nurse practitioners have all this extra Ability yet. 762 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,000 We don't, we're not respected on our colleagues staff team and 763 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,400 where they look at us as, you know, again like this nurse role 764 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,400 where it's like you're at mid-level providers. 765 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,500 Like what's mid-level like am I in purgatory? 766 00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:47,100 Am I a fool level? Like how do I level up? 767 00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:49,900 It's just all these things that it's just, the system is 768 00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:54,400 designed not to support you. And so, I want to showcase nurse 769 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,300 practitioners and nurses that have been able to go. 770 00:37:57,700 --> 00:37:59,300 I'm breaking free from the system. 771 00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:02,300 I'm work the system to help me get to the spot. 772 00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:05,900 It's in my life but I don't want to retire at 65 like I want to 773 00:38:05,908 --> 00:38:09,800 be retired at 29 years old like you were able to just step away 774 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,500 29 and leave nursing. I just think that's incredible. 775 00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:15,700 And again you're not not working, that's not what I'm 776 00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:18,200 advocating for here is that people just sit on, you know and 777 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,100 if that's you get to do gray and Vale and sip Mai Tais and like 778 00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:25,000 chill like great that's good for you but like again you are 779 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,200 working. It's just life on your terms and 780 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,800 I think that that is the most beautiful thing that you can do 781 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,900 with your working career is to be able to Have that time and 782 00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:36,900 that flexibility. And so last question of the 783 00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:39,400 podcast and I like to ask everyone, if you could go back 784 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,400 to Joseph, he's just he's working through his LPN. 785 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,700 Heshes working through his RN. He's about to go. 786 00:38:45,700 --> 00:38:48,100 I get that. Be a sin if you could tell him 787 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,600 one thing to go. Hey brother. 788 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,300 This is a piece of advice. I want you to hold onto and 789 00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:58,100 write it to the wheels fall off. And this is the piece of advice 790 00:38:58,100 --> 00:39:00,900 and when you hear it's garbage, don't listen to it. 791 00:39:01,300 --> 00:39:03,800 What would you tell yourself? Oh wow. 792 00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:08,900 It would be a straightforward year worth more York like 793 00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:12,100 literally you're worth more than the hourly pay check and you're 794 00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:16,900 worth more than I remember times where I was, I literally was 795 00:39:16,900 --> 00:39:19,700 gonna go get like a certification to to get an extra 796 00:39:19,700 --> 00:39:24,800 freaking, $1 an hour, are you kidding me and we've all had 797 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,800 these tunnels thought about it one dollar an hour. 798 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,700 Like MIT, I'm gonna go get my stroke certification and turns a 799 00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:32,900 spoonful. I can get an extra Or I'm going 800 00:39:32,900 --> 00:39:35,700 to teach EMT so I can work on the weekend and make an extra 801 00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:39,000 300 bucks, you know? So I would literally tell myself 802 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,100 like listen, you're worthy. And once you acting, it was Rich 803 00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:46,000 Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki was explaining how, you know, 804 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,800 this dad was was doing one thing, but then this dad was 805 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,100 constantly hustling to get this raise every 6 months or a year 806 00:39:53,300 --> 00:39:55,600 and every time he was still disappointed, right? 807 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,400 The Christmas bonus. The $50 $100 bonus. 808 00:39:58,700 --> 00:40:01,600 That I got at the hospital. I think I gave one of my 809 00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:04,500 employees like Like almost a thousand dollars as a as a 810 00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:10,100 Christmas bonus and to me, it was like, man, that's that's 811 00:40:10,100 --> 00:40:11,900 better. That's what he meant by stop. 812 00:40:11,900 --> 00:40:14,700 I'd rather get 1,000 bucks then then 50. 813 00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:17,300 But I know you're worth more in words so much. 814 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:19,600 That's what you tell them to hold on to. 815 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,400 But what about to toss? Oh to tallest. 816 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,600 Whoo. I would I would have probably 817 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,500 tell him that it's hard, his whole circle, everyone that he 818 00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:30,500 was hanging around with out. Just go hang around some 819 00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:33,100 millionaires. That's what that's Really did 820 00:40:33,100 --> 00:40:34,600 it. If I was surrounded by 821 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,900 millionaires, a lot sooner I probably would have been a 822 00:40:37,908 --> 00:40:43,400 millionaire a lot sooner. He knows that that is that's 823 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,100 probably the best response I've ever had to that to that 824 00:40:47,100 --> 00:40:50,800 question. No, I'm serious because yeah, I 825 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,100 mean like you said like you said earlier but still you are around 826 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,500 affects who you are, who you are. 827 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,600 And again when you're around people that are in that same 828 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:06,100 system, now that the system of I get to get you guys stroke 829 00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:09,400 certification girl, get you that dollar if you're around somebody 830 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,800 that's like nah a dollar.
