It is a pleasure to join the Realist Premium group. I am based out of Winnipeg MB, originally from a small farming community in Saskatchewan. I have an extensive background in civil construction, with on site, on the tools experience in earthworks, underground utility installations and concrete formwork & finishing. I currently work as a surveyor in remote locations across Western Canada conducting Topographic & Construction surveys. I am very passionate about building, and real estate and believe this is a great place to grow my visions. I am looking forward to meeting driven people here with a similar mindset. Let's collaborate and see how we can help each other reach for the stars. Looking to get back into the contracting side of things as i see a huge shortage of quality and reliability in the construction industry. Plenty of opportunities for people that want them! Can't wait to meet the rest of you. Thank you to Dan & Nick for putting this together and the hard work you guys put in. Top notch podcast fellas!!

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of adding a monthly BOOK CLUB feature to the Realist course. Here's the format I've envisioned. 1. We assign a book and a club leader at the meeting 2. We all read the book that month 3. We get together to discuss the book one month later, and select another book & leader Discussion would be formatted as follows: 1. 5-10 minute presentation of key findings from that month's book club leader 2. 30-60 minutes of structured discussion between Realist members (structure determined by the monthly leader) Here are some of the books I'd want to first cover: 1. E-myth real estate investor https://thanmerrill.com/books/e-myth-real-estate-investor/ 2. Millionaire Real Estate Investor: https://kellerink.com/products/the-millionaire-real-estate-investor Does 1 book per month sound reasonable and achievable? If we get enough interest, we will make it happen. Comment "I'm in" if you're in!

Hi everyone - here's the book for our first monthly book club: "The E-Myth Real Estate Investor" by Michael E. Gerber and Than Merrill. This book is a must-read for anyone serious about scaling their real estate investing business. It builds on Gerber’s classic E-Myth framework, which highlights why most small businesses fail and how to avoid those pitfalls by building systems and processes.
