The Season That Changed Everything for Me....

My first deal gave me confidence.

My second year tested everything.

After that first deal, I spent almost all my savings trying to build something real. Marketing. Tools. Learning. I reached a point where all I had left was my business money.

No safety net.

For months, I was calling sellers every single day.

Same effort. Same discipline.

But nothing was making sense.

No contracts.

No momentum.

Just questions.

I won’t lie, it was tough.

That’s usually the part people don’t talk about.

But I didn’t quit.

I kept calling.

I kept learning.

And most importantly, I kept believing that something would eventually break through.

Then during a festive period like this, I had a conversation with a seller that changed everything.

On that call, I confidently talked about a property I had bought before. I explained the value, the opportunity, and the profit that came from understanding the numbers correctly.

Not to brag, but to show clarity.

That conversation built trust.

The seller listened differently.

The tone changed.

The door opened.

From that moment, things started shifting. Deals became easier to structure. Conversations became smoother. Confidence replaced hesitation.

Here’s the lesson I want to leave you with.

Struggle doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

Sometimes it means you’re early.

Festive periods create motivated sellers.

People want closure.

They want a fresh start.
