1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,040
What would you say is your why of what you do?

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,300
Oh, the why is simple.

3
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:09,280
The why for me, at least on the investing side,

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,720
was to have the flexibility to do what I want.

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,200
And that doesn't mean not working.

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,500
That just means the flexibility to work if I want to work

7
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:19,620
or what have you.

8
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:21,800
And so that's how I really got started.

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,540
And that is really the why.

10
00:00:23,540 --> 00:00:30,540
And why do you, because you said you have five people that you

11
00:00:30,540 --> 00:00:31,540
helped, right?

12
00:00:31,540 --> 00:00:32,540
Correct.

13
00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:34,540
Yes, and why do you do it?

14
00:00:34,540 --> 00:00:35,540
Why do I help them?

15
00:00:35,540 --> 00:00:36,540
It's simple.

16
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:40,540
When I did this and I started seeing results,

17
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:44,040
and the realization that I was actually going to achieve my

18
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,040
goal, that I was actually going to get to a point where I could

19
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,040
choose to work, retire earlier, or what have you,

20
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,540
and then turn around and say, OK, I'm going to do this.

21
00:00:52,540 --> 00:00:55,540
And then turn around and helping other people do it,

22
00:00:55,540 --> 00:00:59,540
and seeing them and how happy they were and how excited they

23
00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:02,540
were, the fact that they were investing,

24
00:01:02,540 --> 00:01:05,540
they were getting returns that were greater than maybe what

25
00:01:05,540 --> 00:01:11,540
their 401Ks were doing at that time, that is huge.

26
00:01:11,540 --> 00:01:13,540
That's everything.

27
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:17,040
Like I said, these people are very happy with where they're at.

28
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,540
And they're friends of mine, so I get to talk to them all time.

29
00:01:19,540 --> 00:01:21,540
I get to hear how they're doing.

30
00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:24,540
And sometimes there is always stuff that comes up,

31
00:01:24,540 --> 00:01:27,540
like one of them had a tenant turnover issue,

32
00:01:27,540 --> 00:01:29,540
that kind of stuff, so we work through that.

33
00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:32,540
But overall, it's been very positive.

34
00:01:32,540 --> 00:01:37,540
And just, again, helping other people do something similar,

35
00:01:37,540 --> 00:01:41,540
or just reaching out to a larger audience, I think, is key.

36
00:01:41,540 --> 00:01:44,540
And let me go a little further on that, too.

37
00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:50,540
So like I said, when I started, I couldn't find good resources

38
00:01:50,540 --> 00:01:55,540
that really laid out a road for people, or at least for me.

39
00:01:55,540 --> 00:01:58,540
And I was looking for something that showed me how to actually

40
00:01:58,540 --> 00:02:01,540
do all of the math, all the calculations,

41
00:02:01,540 --> 00:02:06,540
show me basically the processes and checklists on how to really

42
00:02:06,540 --> 00:02:09,540
do that, something that I could reproduce.

43
00:02:09,540 --> 00:02:14,540
I was unable to find that, and that's actually what I wanted

44
00:02:14,540 --> 00:02:20,540
to share, something that other people could follow and do the same.
