Hi, my name is Josh. I’m in the west coast of Florida. I joined Freedom Mentor because I had initially been asked to join a friend of mine’s company who was struggling to get his company up and going, they were doing about $700,000 in revenue per year for the last five years. So I joined and within about three years, we had taken it from $700,000 in revenue to about $10 million.
We had a falling out, I sold my ownership into the company back to him. And at that point I had a decision to make whether to go back to corporate America or strike out on my own. I knew pretty quick I didn’t want to go back to corporate America and I’d always had an affinity or an interest in real estate.
So, I reached out to some friends of mine who were realtors and just started kind picking their brain a little bit, asking them if we could do some deals together. To see if I wanted to do this, see if it would be something I could do long term. So, through that process, I knew pretty quick that I wanted to stay in real estate and do something within real estate. I’ve read some books off and on through the years or whatever. So, I started doing some research and picking up books again about real estate and when I had a question, I would always go on to the web, I would go look it up and Phil kept coming up, Phil kept coming up. I really started listening to his videos and I really liked the way he explained things and the clarity in which he explained them.
So after doing this quite a bit, I realized I didn’t know what in the world I was doing, I needed some help. And so I reached out to Phil’s team and got, had a conversation and joined. So, from there it was just kind of trusting the process. That’s why I joined, because I didn’t want to go back to corporate America. I wanted to find a mentor type program that would hold my hand and walk with me through the process of learning how to do this, and that’s exactly what happened.
To date I’ve been in the program, last month, June of 2022, was two years. I closed my first deal on June 16th of ’21, I believe. So it took me a full 12 months to close my first deal. And today I’ve done nine deals and I’ve got the 10th, 11th… No, no, I’m sorry. I’ve done 10 deals and I’ve got the 10th, 11th… I’m sorry, the 11th, 12th and 13th deal in the pipeline, already signed contracts. So, I’m averaging about a deal a month and so couldn’t be happier and we’ve got plans to double that next year.
My recommendations for the program is A, be patient. Trust the process. I think that’s the biggest one, you just got to trust the process. If you’re wanting immediate results, that’s not really the way to look at it. You got to learn it, you got to be patient and you got to trust the process, if you don’t trust the process, it’s not going to work. Along with that, I would say, be disciplined, create a routine, do the things the coaches are asking you to do and if you do those, you’re going to be fine. And then the other thing I think is be humble. If you come in again with an open mind and a clean slate and not bring any preconceived notions but just an open mind, I think you’ll have a lot of success.
So again thanks to Phil, it’s changed my life completely. So, I could not be more of an advocate for Freedom Mentor and I hope this helps somebody. So thank you.
