What’s the number one rule in real estate? Well, it’s also the fastest path to cash. It’s not location, location, location. It’s making a ton of offers. I can’t emphasize the importance of this enough. If you want to make serious money in real estate, you have to learn how to make offers. That’s the number one skill you must master to close more deals and grow your business. If you haven’t made anyone mad by noon, you’re not making enough offers.

My new Offer Challenge starts next week and it’s the perfect way to boost your offer making skills. For 30 days, you’re going to make one offer per day. Within the first week, I’ll teach you how to talk to sellers and make offers without any fancy software.

You don’t need a real estate license to do deals, but it certainly does help. Things are a lot easier when you’re a realtor yourself, especially when it comes to connecting with other realtors. It helps get your foot in the door and helps boost your credibility. My friend David joins me here to talk about this whole topic. David’s an investor and a realtor in the St. Louis market and we’ve known each other for a long time. He shares all the details on how to do deals and make money.

Right now, there are a lot of rules and laws being passed to prevent folks from doing wholesale deals without a license. Luckily, there are a couple of ways around that. Number one, just go ahead and get your license, no big deal. Number two, just buy the property and work with realtors who can then help you buy and sell your deals. I love working with realtors, and I think it's a great way to get started in the business.

Here, Mike McCloskey joins me to talk about leadership. We're going to be talking about the importance of leadership, the challenges that a lot of folks have, and how to become better leaders in our businesses, families, society, and the community around us. What Mike has to share is really powerful and he’s been a leader in the corporate world for a long time.

I always like getting perspective and feedback from people outside of the real estate world who work with bigger companies. A big company in our real estate world is maybe a company that makes $1 million a year, right? But guys like Mike work with companies that do 50 to 100 million dollars a year. If you’re new to real estate, this is going to be super important for you to understand. Even if you don’t want to run a massive company, leadership skills are still relevant.
