tell me about your vision being an investor.
Yeah, the vision about to be an investor is a way to interpret it in a completely different
way. And I want to explain why. You know, business is the first step to creation of
wealth. And the second step is investing something. Why? Because business, technically, is need
a lot of work. Investment, in particular, real estate, need to be a lot of work. But
when you create your infrastructure, where you have a good relationship, you create a
relationship with the bank, you create a relationship with Harmony Lander or Bridge Loan, wherever
is your, where you focalise in tech, this kind of money, will be more easy to navigate
this kind of route. For this reason, I think the vision about, for me, in particular, like
an investor, I think is not any kind of beautiful place to say like in real estate. Real estate
is an amazing way, it's an amazing journey if you want to build really something important.
And the reason why I tell you this is because I arrived at one point when I have all this
shop in Italy, starting from zero, have employee, have a lot of kind of problem, where I understand
the power of real estate in particular here in the United States. And the United States
is the most, I am grateful for this country, because give the opportunity to everybody
without any kind of race, colour, or if you speak English, whatever is your capacity,
you go after your dream and you will find the way how you make money. Real estate is
really the way to create something beautiful. People, they don't make money, real estate
is only for one reason. They are scared about doing some kind of action, but think about
only about this. Real estate is the place where you're possible starting from zero.
For example, you are a realtor now, correct? Yes. What this means is like if you have a
certain kind of strategy, first of all, you're possible to develop relationships with people
with a lot of money. It's not easy to find this kind of characteristic in other kind
of business when you start. And second of all, if you have the capacity to understand,
you know, deal, to understand when is something good and you don't have money, you're possible
to use the money of other people, too, if you don't have credit, too, if you don't have
background and how, you know, with really easy, you know, hard money lender, bridge
loan, connection with investor, meet up where you connect with other investor like me. And,
you know, this is the reality of here. If you go in Europe, it's completely different
world, really difficult, more close, difficult to find money, difficult to find two investors.
Yeah. Yeah. It's definitely a structured strategy career and profession. Like you said, you
had to be able to go from the age of 18 and you started, you know, at a smaller place
and then finding that you needed the money and your father gave it to you. And now you're
where you're at. I know it's definitely not it's not an easy journey of 22 years, but
it sounds like you're you're definitely at a different place. And are you currently balancing
your financial goals with your personal happiness and health?
Yeah, you know, this is the way why I wrote this book. You know, the wrote this book represent
for me honestly, not only now, but to when I starting my life from when I am young to
if at that time I am not rich now, rich, the word rich or richness need to be really understand
for each human being. For me, for example, rich means have the possibility to live how
I want, you know, go after what I want, travel when I want, and decide when I want in each
moment of my life. This is for me richness. And normally, like every person have clear
vision, I have like my my goal, the top, and I have my number of my goal set up. And you
know, I arrive at one point in my life now where you know, probably if you ask me 22
years, years ago, if you know, I will receive from you know, the divine, whatever you want
to call someone the life like this, I never believe I know, I go after this kind of the
dream, you know, I chase with a lot of energy, resilience, and you know, like everybody up
and down, and I achieve but you know, my life is like, I think so like how every entrepreneur
slash investor life is every time in movement, when I am never satisfied, but satisfy what
this means. I mean, I'm satisfied because I have, you know, everything I want. But I
need inside me something to create because this is my motivation in my life. Yes, it
sounds like you're a go getter. You're you're you're satisfied but not content, right? There's
always more that you can reach and more that you can obtain. Is that what it is? Yeah,
it means like it's not really I'm not content. I'm really content. But and I appreciate through
now, through my journey, all the process of my life. But you know, I arrive at this point
after big pain point. And for this reason, you know, I create the assembly this method
called MPB, where I share inside this book, because you know, the thing is this one, you
know, when you starting a business, when you start a career, when you start to whatever
you you want, you started with this anger slash, you know, energy to go after this dream,
but you arrive automatically at one point where you do 100 things. And these 100 things
is not working. You started to, you know, to don't be any more energized to don't be
any more in the same state of mind. Now this is happening to me. But you know, because
think about I do really, you know, big change, change from Italy, without speak one word
in English to the other part of the world, the United States, you know, I really go after
a lot of pain, not because I need go to this pain, because my business lose revenue, but
I possibly really comfortable, you know, with, you know, enough more than half money in Italy.
But I want to have something I want to chase the, you know, the dream to understand the
possibility to make money real estate over here in the United States. But you know, at
that time, I don't have this capacity to understand the importance of the journey. The importance
of the journey is everything people they lose this part, and they completely put their self
in the future. Yeah, or in the past, the reality every day, you need to have clear intention
to understand where you're going in the direction of your life and appreciate normally is no
matter how many minutes to my day, I appreciate everything, but I'm focused every day to this
kind to do this kind of action. And I really organized my my life to, you know, to I wake
up early in the morning at 430. And this is one pillar really important for me personally.
And you know, I do some kind of strategy where bringing me energy to show up to, to the world
to the people to other human being to the business in the best way of my possibility.
No,
yes. Question for you. What is success to you? Success to me is like how we share before
have the possibility to have completely fulfillment life what is means is means have beautiful
family have beautiful human connection with other human beings and have the possibility
money wise to have abundance for you for your near family and for other people to my dream
is becoming a philanthropic investor, where I have the possibility, not only to give money
slash energy slash abundance slash moments to my near family, but to the other human
being because reality money is a creation of human being and is a creation to build
something for other people. The people they are greedy is people they have, you know,
narcissistic idea of them where they think about with more money, you are more better
person respect another human being is not this the way to think about money. Money is
a vehicle where when you have you have good heart, good energy, you possible share more.
For me, this is really important. I focalized every day in my life to create first of all
in the morning, abundance internal with some clear strategy and second of all to create
abundance external to go after a deal to negotiate to speaking with people to work with my team
to go after now my dream to share with a lot of people the power of this book to.
Yes, yes. So are you currently consulting to help others learn the business?
Not yet, because it's not not yet because I don't arrive mentally in this moment at
this position. What this means now what I do for my first step is, you know, share the
book I have like my rules. Now I working for many here, not only with my money, but I work
with, you know, different wealthy people where I receive a lot of a lot of knowledge. In
particular, I have two, you know, near friend, they are billionaire, where I learn a lot
about, you know, the capacity to generate money and will be on a second option to be
a consulting by consulting will be for other people. They have like less experience in
this moment will coming for me something where is no I don't have in this moment enough
time to dedicate to other human. They want to growing from zero. Now I'm more focalizing
people. They already have a lot of possibility and I working with them and with my money
to create something beautiful where we generate money. And after probably I will go in this
direction.
I love that you were very honest about that. I don't have enough time. And, you know,
I think so many people going into business and reaching a level of success then begin
to try to teach others and don't really have the time. And so I appreciate you saying that
because truth be told, or someone like myself who would like to get into that, if you don't
have the time, I could completely understand and I totally look forward to the book coming
out December 15. So I guess I have to wait till December 15 to get it right.
Yeah, but I want to share with you something, you know, we are in the in the most beautiful
moment in the history. And I go after, you know, a lot of people they think we are in
the bad moment in our society. We are probably in bad moment in our society in the way where
human being becoming more greedy, more, you know, fighting one each other. But for the
business prospect, I think so the next five, 10 years will be a disruption, you know, for
people they have mindset. And I share with you something basic, you know, the opportunity
I say, you know, I spoke in a lot of podcasts that we, you know, for example, one, I really
enjoy with Rock Cliff. He is expert in multifamily space. And, you know, opportunities coming
for people they have open mind and open here. And two, I want to share with you something,
the learning process is two step one, learn. Second is action. Now, what's happening when
you go after in the in the world of the social media in the world of selling course, you
will see a lot of people they tell you you will becoming multimillionaire from one day
to another day. I honestly don't believe at this kind of situation. I believe in something
where you growing your knowledge, first of all, and your capacity after you learn and
after the action. But if you want to learn something today, you have the big instrument
University YouTube University YouTube give you everything you want and available. Now,
the important is to understand where is coming this information is if the information coming
from a source they know about what they're talking about, or they are only a selling
people and you know, unfortunately, we have a lot of kind of situation but I think so.
We are right now in the best place to learn and do action. And what I suggest to you,
open your eyes because you are in in a perfect position. You are a realtor. You are in San
Antonio, correct? Yes, yes. In Texas. What this means is a booming market from people
coming from external, you know, part of the country. And I think so will be in the next,
you know, couple of years, three, four years, some opportunity or big opportunity with realtor
they specialize in commercial space on their specializing in office, because this kind
of the the the market will becoming you know, distress and investor like me, they need somebody
chase a fine deal when you are in the perfect position. Thank you for being here today.
