00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.160
Good morning, everyone. Thank you so much for joining us. I see everyone trickling in. I'm just going to give it a couple of seconds to allow everyone to come in.

2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:14.700
Good morning, Pru. So good to see you.

3
00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:19.620
Didi, Jill, Tatiana.

4
00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:28.820
That's awesome. Thank you so much. Okay, let's get started. Sorry for the delay guys. I had a little bit of a technical issue. So.

5
00:00:29.220 --> 00:00:40.820
Let's get started on this weekly win session. It is Monday, June 16th, 2025. And I'm Gabrielle Kane, your program advisor here at Keyspire.

6
00:00:41.900 --> 00:00:53.300
I'm so excited to be here and to be sharing my weekly wins with you, my personal and my professional. It was very productive and I'm so proud.

7
00:00:53.300 --> 00:01:09.980
And I know that you guys are really happy and proud to share as well. So I hope that you guys are ready to write down your wins, write down your goals and share that with your loved ones, with your team, with your friends, your family, anyone that you're that you're talking to.

8
00:01:09.980 --> 00:01:14.580
And most of all, keep track of this for yourself, because six months down the road, you're going to forget these things.

9
00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:28.300
And you do want to track your progress so that you can give yourself a pat on the back and say, you know what, I am doing a lot. You're not always going to be well accomplished. You're not always going to have something to write home about. But when you do, it feels really, really good.

10
00:01:28.860 --> 00:01:45.740
Hello, Christine. iPhone Phillips. Hello. Good morning, Roy, Deanna, Denise. Oh, my goodness. I love all these familiar faces and these familiar names. Thank you so much for joining us. I am so happy to see you guys.

11
00:01:46.580 --> 00:02:01.820
Well, let's get started then. Okay, so I'm first of all, I would love to take the opportunity to recognize workshop group 21. They are going to be graduating tomorrow. They have their fourth quarterly workshop. So I'm really excited for them. This is a really big deal. And they have come so far.

12
00:02:01.820 --> 00:02:31.340
And I get to do that. So I'm very excited. That's also going to be my last workshop that I'm doing as a program advisor. I'm sure many of you have heard that I will not be in the program advisor role anymore after July 16. So this is my last workshop. It's bittersweet. And it gets me a little emotional thinking about it. So I'm not going to give it a lot of thought. But this is growth.

13
00:02:31.980 --> 00:02:43.820
Growth and change can be uncomfortable and it can be scary. But it means that you're moving forward and you're shedding your skin and you're starting something new and exciting. So I am very excited

14
00:02:44.820 --> 00:02:55.980
To be able to share those moments with everyone. So I'm, I'm very excited for the for group 21 to be able to move forward and graduate and see what happens after year one.

15
00:02:56.940 --> 00:03:03.420
My wins personal win last week I celebrated my 43rd birthday and

16
00:03:04.420 --> 00:03:17.740
It was the only Friday, the 13th of the year. And in my opinion, I think all good things happen on Friday, the 13th. I did my three day boot camp on Friday, August 13 of I think it was 2021

17
00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:28.540
So I was really excited about that and good things always do happen. So I took a day off. I went to the zoo. Some of you know my best friend works at the Toronto Zoo.

18
00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:44.540
And we got a nice private tour and we got to pet a rhino and it was so much fun and the kids had so much fun because, of course, we pulled them out of school on a weekday to do that. And it was totally worth it. Highly recommend you do it too.

19
00:03:46.060 --> 00:03:52.900
I spent quality time with family and friends and I tried to sleep in but that obviously didn't work out very well.

20
00:03:53.340 --> 00:03:57.820
I think you guys all know the same thing. There's always things to do, no matter how big the

21
00:03:58.420 --> 00:04:07.300
The holiday might be or whatever the event is going on. We also kind of brushed Father's Day aside a little bit. We did celebrate with a wonderful dinner.

22
00:04:08.060 --> 00:04:15.180
But the whole weekend was actually focusing on get this real estate investing and renovations and cleaning.

23
00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:21.500
We have finally finished painting. So I'm really happy about that because we've been working on that since before Christmas.

24
00:04:22.019 --> 00:04:36.180
But now it's, you know, getting those final touches done so washing walls and baseboards and windows and door jams and door handles. Do you guys, you know what I'm talking about. I didn't realize how out of shape. I was

25
00:04:36.980 --> 00:04:47.940
Until the next day. You guys know what I'm talking about. I am so sore. I can barely move and I'm definitely running behind on everything that I do.

26
00:04:49.260 --> 00:04:55.300
I'm extremely thankful that that's behind me. Of course, I had to do it on my birthday weekend, but that's okay.

27
00:04:56.900 --> 00:04:58.980
So now that I have all that done.

28
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.320
The next, I guess, what's coming up for me,

29
00:05:03.320 --> 00:05:06.000
personally and professionally, is I'm moving

30
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:07.080
in less than two weeks.

31
00:05:07.080 --> 00:05:10.640
So Friday the 27th is going to be a big day for me.

32
00:05:10.640 --> 00:05:12.000
So we're down to crunch time.

33
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.960
All those last minute things you have to think about.

34
00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:17.760
Still balancing work, still taking phone calls,

35
00:05:17.760 --> 00:05:19.880
still project management.

36
00:05:19.880 --> 00:05:21.120
Nothing comes to a stop.

37
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.440
So I'm sure you guys know what that's like,

38
00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:26.960
always keeping yourself busy, multitasking,

39
00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:30.120
phone ringing off the hook, and emails of,

40
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:31.760
I need, I need, I need right now,

41
00:05:31.760 --> 00:05:35.200
which I was definitely addressing some of those

42
00:05:35.200 --> 00:05:36.480
this morning as well.

43
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:39.800
This brings me to my guest.

44
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.280
Guys, I had, I have to tell you,

45
00:05:42.280 --> 00:05:45.560
so these check-in calls that I do with our members

46
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:46.480
blows my mind.

47
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:47.960
We have check-in calls so that I can be

48
00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:49.120
an accountability partner.

49
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.240
As you know, Joe does the same thing.

50
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.400
And we are able to talk to you about your wins,

51
00:05:54.400 --> 00:05:56.080
help you celebrate your wins,

52
00:05:56.080 --> 00:05:58.800
and also give you guidance and direction

53
00:05:58.800 --> 00:05:59.960
on where you're headed.

54
00:06:01.320 --> 00:06:03.200
Sometimes people are really hard on themselves

55
00:06:03.200 --> 00:06:04.440
and they say, you know what, Gabrielle,

56
00:06:04.440 --> 00:06:08.000
I'm actually wasting your time by being here right now.

57
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.560
And then after a good conversation,

58
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.680
10 minutes even is all it can take.

59
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.760
And it can turn everything around

60
00:06:14.760 --> 00:06:17.600
and give you that motivation and get you feel charged up

61
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.280
and ready to take on the world.

62
00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:23.720
And I have to tell you, I had a pretty amazing

63
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.080
check-in call not too long ago

64
00:06:26.080 --> 00:06:28.520
with one of our lovely members.

65
00:06:29.640 --> 00:06:32.520
I hope you guys give her a wonderful, warm welcome.

66
00:06:32.520 --> 00:06:34.760
Her name is Christina Brown.

67
00:06:34.760 --> 00:06:36.200
For those of you who don't know,

68
00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:38.800
Christina was assigned to Workshop Group 18.

69
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.520
They graduated a little bit earlier this year

70
00:06:42.520 --> 00:06:45.320
and she did an amazing job.

71
00:06:45.320 --> 00:06:48.320
And I'm gonna let her take the spotlight on this

72
00:06:48.320 --> 00:06:50.320
and share her wins with you guys.

73
00:06:50.320 --> 00:06:53.080
I am so proud of how far she's come,

74
00:06:53.080 --> 00:06:56.080
the momentum she's taken to move forward.

75
00:06:56.080 --> 00:06:56.920
We welcome you.

76
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.360
Christina, would you like to unmute yourself

77
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.120
and say good morning to everyone?

78
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:03.640
Good morning, Gabrielle.

79
00:07:03.640 --> 00:07:04.960
Thank you so much.

80
00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:08.080
And bigger, broader thank you to you

81
00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:10.360
for serving as our program advisor.

82
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.000
We were thankful for all your help

83
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.040
during all the workshops and whatnot.

84
00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:18.280
Glad, I hope you're moving on is bigger and better things.

85
00:07:18.280 --> 00:07:20.360
So appreciate it.

86
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:21.800
Thank you so much, Christina.

87
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:22.640
It's a pleasure.

88
00:07:22.640 --> 00:07:24.480
And honestly, it's a job that feeds my soul.

89
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:25.680
I don't see it as a job.

90
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.000
It doesn't feel like it at all.

91
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.960
It's something that I'm honored and happy to do.

92
00:07:29.960 --> 00:07:30.800
So thank you.

93
00:07:32.640 --> 00:07:36.400
So for my part, I don't wanna talk too long

94
00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:40.480
other than to say that I did that original bootcamp

95
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.200
after finding an ad on, I don't know, Facebook

96
00:07:44.200 --> 00:07:45.680
and my mind was blown.

97
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:46.920
So joined Keyspire.

98
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.600
Again, it's been a little over a year.

99
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.040
Every workshop, every session,

100
00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:52.440
I'm like, oh, amazing, amazing.

101
00:07:52.440 --> 00:07:53.480
And I'm learning.

102
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.760
And I felt like I should make something happen.

103
00:07:55.760 --> 00:07:56.960
I should make something happen.

104
00:07:56.960 --> 00:07:58.840
And it was like nothing was happening.

105
00:07:58.840 --> 00:08:03.840
And so I echo, there's folks who are,

106
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:06.200
oh, I've been doing this for a month

107
00:08:06.200 --> 00:08:07.840
and I bought my new place.

108
00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:10.880
And I was feeling really down on myself

109
00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:14.600
so that I didn't, I wasn't getting it.

110
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.160
And then what happened in life

111
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.920
was just that we owned a small little house on a lake

112
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.480
that we bought for 260,000, 10 years ago.

113
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.040
And slowly but surely,

114
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.400
someone's been buying all the property around us

115
00:08:28.400 --> 00:08:29.280
unbeknownst to us.

116
00:08:29.280 --> 00:08:30.800
And so this past October,

117
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.400
he called and said, we wanna buy you out.

118
00:08:33.400 --> 00:08:36.679
And I was about midway,

119
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.120
I'm not even sure I had done my third workshop

120
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.480
with Keyspire, but I was like, wait, wait, wait, what?

121
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:46.160
And I generally, I've bought and sold some houses,

122
00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:50.960
but this whole, I wanna buy you out,

123
00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:53.040
and I was the little guy

124
00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:54.560
and he wants to tear my house down

125
00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:55.960
and take my gorgeous view.

126
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:57.280
And I thought, oh my gosh,

127
00:08:57.280 --> 00:08:59.960
how do I save ourselves, our family?

128
00:08:59.960 --> 00:09:01.200
This was where I was gonna,

129
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.120
what we were gonna leave to our children.

130
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:04.840
So I wanted to be kept whole.

131
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.360
I didn't, it's in the Adirondacks.

132
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.480
I'm an American in New York.

133
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.400
And so it's, houses on the,

134
00:09:13.400 --> 00:09:16.160
we're on a lake are very expensive, this, that.

135
00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:17.720
And so I was a little scared,

136
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.320
like how do I negotiate against this very wealthy person

137
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:21.400
who wants to buy me out?

138
00:09:21.400 --> 00:09:24.760
And I will share that my Keyspire knowledge,

139
00:09:24.760 --> 00:09:25.840
didn't know that that's the way

140
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.040
I was gonna have to use it at first.

141
00:09:28.040 --> 00:09:30.240
But in the end, long story short,

142
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.320
I ended up negotiating,

143
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:38.360
turned my $260,000 house into a $725,000

144
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:44.320
move into a very large barn with twice as much land.

145
00:09:45.680 --> 00:09:50.400
And negotiate enough money to do construction,

146
00:09:50.400 --> 00:09:51.920
to build out the second floor

147
00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:53.040
so I could have more bedrooms.

148
00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:54.320
That was really my motivation

149
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.040
is I needed more of a family space

150
00:09:56.040 --> 00:09:57.320
as my boys have grown up.

151
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.240
So I will share that I negotiated.

152
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.480
Trading tools I learned through Keyspire, I ended up, the amount of wheeling and dealing,

153
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:10.280
and it was four or five months where it was happening, then it wasn't happening, then

154
00:10:10.280 --> 00:10:14.240
everybody stopped talking to each other, then this and that, then I brought it back to life.

155
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:18.960
I consulted with one of the Keyspire members and said, there's got to be a way.

156
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:23.900
And so ended up using a lot of the techniques that I learned through Keyspire.

157
00:10:23.900 --> 00:10:29.440
In the end, we're doing owner financing, seller financing it's called, where I didn't even

158
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:33.160
have to go through a bank, so they gave us money.

159
00:10:33.160 --> 00:10:38.680
The close was odd, we should have sold first and then closed, but the barn owner didn't

160
00:10:38.680 --> 00:10:39.680
want that.

161
00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:44.440
So I actually, good thing to know, learned through Keyspire to take out a HELOC on my

162
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.280
house, which is a home equity line of credit.

163
00:10:47.280 --> 00:10:50.900
So we were able to access that, that kept the deal afloat.

164
00:10:50.900 --> 00:10:55.620
And then I got them to agree to seller financing for the rest because it was a much higher

165
00:10:55.620 --> 00:10:57.960
price and wanted to do construction.

166
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:03.440
So all these little tools and tips and tricks I learned from every conversation, I think,

167
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.240
I don't know about you folks, but when I listen to these Keyspire things, I'm like, well,

168
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:07.240
I don't know what that is.

169
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.640
I don't know what that, I can't imagine using that, but I'd listen and I'm doing classes

170
00:11:11.640 --> 00:11:16.600
and I pick up little things here and there and it all sort of came together in this.

171
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:24.120
And so closed on the barn, I have the barn now, that was a win from the last, I did that

172
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.200
about a week or two ago, been meeting with contractors.

173
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.040
That's a disaster in real estate.

174
00:11:30.040 --> 00:11:34.920
I'm on my third conversation and what was supposed to be an $80,000 budget is turning

175
00:11:34.920 --> 00:11:43.960
into $170,000 budget, but I'm trying to be positive.

176
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:50.040
But so part of that, my win this weekend and to Gabrielle's point, Father's Day was us

177
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:57.880
suiting up my whole family in little hazmat suits because we needed to save $2,000 and

178
00:11:57.880 --> 00:12:00.760
we needed to remove all the insulation from the attic ourselves.

179
00:12:00.760 --> 00:12:05.320
So I employed my two teen and tween and teen boys.

180
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:14.520
We worked for many hours to get all the insulation out of the attic so we could save on the cost

181
00:12:14.520 --> 00:12:15.720
of some construction work.

182
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.040
On the plus side, that would make a really cute family photo, don't you think?

183
00:12:20.040 --> 00:12:20.600
It is.

184
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:21.800
I do have the picture.

185
00:12:21.800 --> 00:12:23.240
It is very sweet.

186
00:12:24.280 --> 00:12:25.560
And my boys stuck it out too.

187
00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:30.040
I was surprised because what I said was the second floor is going to be partly your hangout

188
00:12:30.040 --> 00:12:31.400
space, so you have to do it.

189
00:12:33.880 --> 00:12:35.640
Hands-on learning though, right?

190
00:12:35.640 --> 00:12:36.360
Yeah.

191
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:39.720
And then so that's sort of ongoing.

192
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.320
I'm nagging, real estate is not easy.

193
00:12:43.400 --> 00:12:50.840
So yes, these great wins, but we're late by a month closing for my original little house

194
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:55.320
because the guy is traveling and it's eating up my money.

195
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:59.480
So I'm paying now interest on that HELOC that I had to front to close on the other.

196
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:02.600
I'm now going to be paying double mortgages.

197
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:08.840
So again, it seems good and then you fall back and then you go forward.

198
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:13.880
And I say to my family, you just make the list and you just keep plugging away at the

199
00:13:13.880 --> 00:13:15.240
list every day.

200
00:13:16.040 --> 00:13:17.800
What lawyer can I call a nag?

201
00:13:18.680 --> 00:13:23.400
What kind text can I say to encourage them to move quicker?

202
00:13:25.640 --> 00:13:30.440
And then I'll just share even in all of that negotiating and going on, I did something

203
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:32.600
again, Keyspire inspired.

204
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:35.800
My coach owned mobile home parks.

205
00:13:36.760 --> 00:13:38.840
And I thought that's interesting.

206
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:45.560
And so I was sort of looking and it turns out near this barn about a year ago, I found

207
00:13:45.560 --> 00:13:50.600
this guy who was selling a mobile home park, just like 20 minutes away from the barn again,

208
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.760
where we're ultimately going to retire and live.

209
00:13:52.760 --> 00:13:56.680
And so that's so fortuitous, it was on the market.

210
00:13:56.680 --> 00:13:59.160
I was too early in Keyspire, too overwhelmed.

211
00:13:59.160 --> 00:14:00.200
I had some health issues.

212
00:14:00.920 --> 00:14:03.800
So it just fell off and the listing ended.

213
00:14:03.880 --> 00:14:07.240
And so I was like, huh, you know, must not have been meant to be.

214
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:10.360
Then they got relisted for more money.

215
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:11.720
They like increased the price.

216
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.520
He couldn't sell it at the low price, but somehow he increased the price.

217
00:14:15.160 --> 00:14:18.040
And then that listing expired.

218
00:14:18.040 --> 00:14:23.640
And so I mustered up all my little from my power calls here with Keyspire.

219
00:14:23.640 --> 00:14:28.920
I was like, I used a few folks have access to the Property Edge Pro, the Americans.

220
00:14:29.880 --> 00:14:34.600
I went on and I searched who, you know, found the mobile home park, searched who owned it,

221
00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:39.720
Googled the person and then just cold call them, which is not something I would normally do.

222
00:14:41.400 --> 00:14:43.320
And so cold called him.

223
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:47.240
And it's probably one of the best things I've ever done in my life because he turned out

224
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.600
to be a lovely, lovely man.

225
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:53.560
He kept it off the market for me because I told him I was in the middle of this sale

226
00:14:53.560 --> 00:14:55.080
of my little house and the barn.

227
00:14:55.400 --> 00:14:58.120
You know, I literally have no cash until this is all done.

228
00:14:58.840 --> 00:14:59.880
He's kept it off the market.

229
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.240
for the last six months waiting for me.

230
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:07.920
And we've been meeting and talking,

231
00:15:07.920 --> 00:15:10.640
and so that was kind of my other win this week.

232
00:15:10.640 --> 00:15:13.560
He's involved me, he's had a couple of tenants.

233
00:15:13.560 --> 00:15:18.120
It's six units, six mobile homes on property.

234
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:19.940
Four will be property owned.

235
00:15:21.040 --> 00:15:22.960
I will own them, and then the other two,

236
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:24.360
they just pay rent for the land.

237
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.840
But we had two tenants move out,

238
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:28.560
and he has pulled me in,

239
00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:30.640
and he's teaching me about the construction

240
00:15:30.640 --> 00:15:32.320
and what he does between tenants.

241
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.520
And this weekend, we talk in the sessions,

242
00:15:35.520 --> 00:15:36.600
if you folks have ever heard,

243
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:38.440
like what amenities can you provide?

244
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:41.200
How do you add value add to your property

245
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.360
so that you can get good rents

246
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:45.480
and take care of your tenants?

247
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:49.040
So I went, and it was very sweet.

248
00:15:49.040 --> 00:15:51.480
I wanted him to, I said,

249
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:53.560
oh, wouldn't it be great to have a little fire pit out here?

250
00:15:53.560 --> 00:15:56.040
How do you distinguish it from just getting an apartment?

251
00:15:56.040 --> 00:15:59.480
And so he built the fire pit.

252
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:00.360
I couldn't believe it.

253
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:01.200
He was lovely.

254
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:02.440
He built a fire pit out of rocks.

255
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.880
And so then I went to Home Depot

256
00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:08.800
and I bought plastic Adirondack chairs,

257
00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:10.280
some matching navy blue chairs,

258
00:16:10.280 --> 00:16:12.400
and I dropped those off this weekend

259
00:16:12.400 --> 00:16:16.840
so that someone, when they're touring it,

260
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:20.520
my goal is to, so point being,

261
00:16:20.520 --> 00:16:23.760
like I had both properties, everything's going on,

262
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.760
and I swear it's, I feel overwhelmed sometimes.

263
00:16:27.760 --> 00:16:29.920
And don't, you shouldn't think about these things at night.

264
00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:32.040
Nighttime is not the right time.

265
00:16:32.040 --> 00:16:33.960
You're tired and you're overwhelmed.

266
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.400
And then you start, the worry creeps in.

267
00:16:36.400 --> 00:16:38.960
What am I doing buying a mobile home park?

268
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:40.640
I don't know crap about crap.

269
00:16:42.040 --> 00:16:43.760
And then in the morning you wake up and you're like,

270
00:16:43.760 --> 00:16:44.880
I got this, whatever.

271
00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:48.200
We're just gonna, we're just gonna make it happen.

272
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:49.880
I'm smart, I can figure it out.

273
00:16:50.880 --> 00:16:54.840
So it's, like I said, making the lists for each property,

274
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:56.160
kind of keeping track.

275
00:16:56.160 --> 00:16:59.080
And so every day I have a regular job.

276
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:04.079
I'm a CFO at a company in Manhattan,

277
00:17:05.040 --> 00:17:08.319
but I use my lunch hour and I kind of go through my lists.

278
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.240
And again, you just kind of stay steady.

279
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.720
And like I said, I'm making it happen.

280
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:16.640
I'm going to buy this mobile home park.

281
00:17:17.040 --> 00:17:21.319
And the gentleman has agreed to mentor me for a year.

282
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.400
Like what if I hadn't called?

283
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:25.640
What if I hadn't called?

284
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.720
Like I literally, I pressed, you know,

285
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:31.520
I dialed the number and I was like, I can't do this.

286
00:17:31.520 --> 00:17:32.600
I can't do, who the hell am I?

287
00:17:32.600 --> 00:17:34.640
I can't do, you know, like, I don't do this.

288
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.160
And I just literally did it like a, screw it, screw it,

289
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:39.240
press the button.

290
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:41.480
I love that, yes.

291
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.000
And it's turned out awesome.

292
00:17:44.040 --> 00:17:46.720
Like I said, this man has agreed to stay on for a year

293
00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:49.480
and mentor me in how to do this park, you know,

294
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:50.880
and how to manage, you know,

295
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:53.440
and he owns a construction company.

296
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.080
So he's like, I'll support you, you know,

297
00:17:55.080 --> 00:17:56.480
if you want to do work, you know,

298
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:58.600
I'll give you a reduced price, whatever.

299
00:17:58.600 --> 00:18:01.520
So it couldn't have turned out better.

300
00:18:01.520 --> 00:18:04.560
And so all of those months of angst and frustration,

301
00:18:04.560 --> 00:18:06.000
and no, I can't do this, and I,

302
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.520
it all hit at once.

303
00:18:09.520 --> 00:18:10.400
And let me tell you,

304
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:13.240
I think I've lost a little hair over it or gotten more gray,

305
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:17.280
but yeah, it just all came together

306
00:18:17.280 --> 00:18:21.640
and it will be, I will be through it, not yet.

307
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:23.400
Things will be good.

308
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:25.240
In another couple of months, it'll slow down.

309
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:26.640
But it's, like I said, the little things,

310
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:28.320
even dropping those chairs this weekend,

311
00:18:28.320 --> 00:18:30.080
I was like, oh, look, this is my,

312
00:18:30.080 --> 00:18:32.440
the start of my contribution to kind of

313
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:33.800
building up this community.

314
00:18:33.800 --> 00:18:36.840
I want to, I don't want, admittedly,

315
00:18:36.840 --> 00:18:39.080
that some of the areas poor,

316
00:18:39.080 --> 00:18:41.480
and there are several mobile home parks

317
00:18:41.520 --> 00:18:44.840
that are not well taken care of.

318
00:18:44.840 --> 00:18:46.080
And I'm like, you know what?

319
00:18:46.080 --> 00:18:46.920
I don't want to do that.

320
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:48.200
I want to give people dignity.

321
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.840
I want to be a great landowner.

322
00:18:50.840 --> 00:18:53.880
I want to be there doing the yard work.

323
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:56.440
I want to get my kids involved with it,

324
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:57.760
make it a family sort of thing,

325
00:18:57.760 --> 00:18:59.720
and teach them the hard work,

326
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:02.360
and like I said, respect of their tenants.

327
00:19:02.360 --> 00:19:05.680
And so I've already got ideas about,

328
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:09.200
put up string lights around the whole park

329
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:10.720
during the spring and summer.

330
00:19:11.320 --> 00:19:12.480
You know, little things.

331
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:14.680
I'm buying new lighting as he's turning over.

332
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:16.960
There's, you guys know those boob lights they call them,

333
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:19.200
those old ones from years ago?

334
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:20.760
Everyone knows those lights, yes.

335
00:19:20.760 --> 00:19:22.840
I was just walking through this weekend,

336
00:19:22.840 --> 00:19:24.160
and I thought, you know what?

337
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:25.000
Like, why?

338
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.840
Why do we have to have icky boob lights?

339
00:19:26.840 --> 00:19:27.680
Let's go.

340
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.760
And, you know, I found Amazon lights for,

341
00:19:30.760 --> 00:19:33.360
you know, two pack for whatever, 50 bucks.

342
00:19:33.360 --> 00:19:35.960
And it's not a huge amount of money, right?

343
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:37.360
I'm going to be making money.

344
00:19:37.360 --> 00:19:39.280
Why not invest some to start?

345
00:19:39.320 --> 00:19:42.840
And so I've already mailed them off to him,

346
00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:44.760
and like, let's get rid of boob lights,

347
00:19:44.760 --> 00:19:46.040
and let's try and make this up.

348
00:19:46.040 --> 00:19:47.680
I'm going to go next week.

349
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.720
Actually, this is my next week's hopeful win.

350
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.240
I'm going to go and paint the cabinets.

351
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.440
You know, this kind of, you know,

352
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:56.280
little more 80s, 70s kind of thing,

353
00:19:56.280 --> 00:19:58.040
and it's looking a little run down.

354
00:19:58.040 --> 00:20:00.840
And the guy before me, lovely, but didn't overdo it.

355
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.200
really care. So I'm like, you know what, again, I'm going to

356
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:05.700
invest in this. And so bought all my planning supplies on

357
00:20:05.700 --> 00:20:09.160
Friday, I'm going to go I'm kind of good at refinishing cabinets.

358
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:14.040
And so that's my next week's deal, I'm going to go meet barn

359
00:20:14.040 --> 00:20:18.800
contractors, I did hire someone, I did make a decision. I don't

360
00:20:18.800 --> 00:20:20.920
know all you real estate people, I'm sure some of you are way

361
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:24.840
smarter than I am. But you know, you meet three guys, they all

362
00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:28.480
seem capable. Some of it's just a leap of faith, right? I don't

363
00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:33.360
have my crew up there yet. And so, you know, I envy all those

364
00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:36.200
of you, you know, they tell you to get your team, get your team,

365
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:42.880
it's hard to get a team. But I'm gonna I'm starting right. And so

366
00:20:44.040 --> 00:20:48.160
picked a contractor hoping to goodness that he shows up. I

367
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:49.280
mean, he seems to be

368
00:20:49.840 --> 00:20:53.080
well, and there's lots of ways that you can filter them as

369
00:20:53.080 --> 00:20:58.280
well, Christina. So when you're signing on a contractor, rule of

370
00:20:58.280 --> 00:21:02.240
thumb, obviously, you interview at least three, right? Never go

371
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.800
with the cheapest one, because they're always and they end up

372
00:21:04.800 --> 00:21:09.320
being the most expensive. And then when you're creating your

373
00:21:09.320 --> 00:21:13.600
contract with your new contracting team, you can, you

374
00:21:13.600 --> 00:21:17.960
can customize that. And you can say, Okay, so what happens if

375
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:21.640
you have a team of three, and one or two guys ends up getting

376
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:25.440
sick, or they're hurt, then what? I want to know what to

377
00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:28.440
expect? Do you have other gentlemen on the team? Or does

378
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:33.240
that mean that work in progress come to a halt? What happens if

379
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.640
you don't show up to the worksite two days in a row, you

380
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.400
can actually tell them, okay, so two days in a row, you choose

381
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:46.800
not to show for whatever reason, by the third day, if you don't

382
00:21:46.800 --> 00:21:52.520
show up, consider our contract null and void. And that shows

383
00:21:52.520 --> 00:21:57.680
that you are very serious that you are managing time properly.

384
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:01.880
And it doesn't push out deadlines too far. When doing

385
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:06.240
your budgeting, you can also, you know, be modest with your

386
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.680
numbers, because it might push it out a month, and you don't

387
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.440
know if you can, you know how you're going to manage those

388
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:15.280
carrying costs. And what if you didn't budget for that extra

389
00:22:15.280 --> 00:22:19.040
month or two, right? So making sure that you're setting that

390
00:22:19.040 --> 00:22:23.520
solid foundation and those expectations so that they know

391
00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:28.480
what what your how you work, and that there's no second guessing

392
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:31.160
and, and just crossing your fingers and saying, Well, I

393
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:34.280
really hope this works out. I mean, some of it is going to be

394
00:22:34.280 --> 00:22:38.160
like that. Yes, I hope that they do a proper job. I hope that I'm

395
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.360
happy with it. In the end, I hope that I stay within budget,

396
00:22:41.360 --> 00:22:45.240
all that fun stuff. But setting those expectations and putting

397
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:48.920
that in the contract, that might set your mind at ease and

398
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:50.880
help you sleep a little bit better at night.

399
00:22:52.600 --> 00:22:56.000
I and see that this is the exact point, I still have much more to

400
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.400
learn, right, even in the thick of this. And so yes, I'm going

401
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:02.880
to be hunting out that all that you mentioned, because that

402
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:05.360
that's like the next phase of what I need to learn. I haven't,

403
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:09.320
I haven't gotten his final quote. So but yes, I'm literally

404
00:23:09.320 --> 00:23:12.840
just taking notes, Gabrielle, thank you. And I have to get on

405
00:23:12.840 --> 00:23:16.840
that. Because again, I am not, you know, for all of you. You

406
00:23:16.840 --> 00:23:20.280
know, my coach said it, he's like, he, and it was sort of a

407
00:23:20.280 --> 00:23:24.280
just do it. Right. And I was like, how can you say that, you

408
00:23:24.280 --> 00:23:26.880
know, at first, you're like, Oh, my gosh, but this is big money.

409
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.680
And this is this and this is your my livelihood. And, and I

410
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.520
kind of understand now that just do it. If any of you heard that

411
00:23:34.520 --> 00:23:38.880
from your coaches, like, you can think and overthink and analyze,

412
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:43.880
or you can just push the button, right. And then, and then if

413
00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:46.800
you're smart, and you trust yourself, and you surround

414
00:23:46.800 --> 00:23:49.880
yourself with great people in key spire, I mean, I have gone

415
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:54.840
to several key spire folks to say, like, help me help me. And

416
00:23:54.840 --> 00:23:59.520
so, you know, I'm learning as I go. Again, I'm trusting myself

417
00:23:59.520 --> 00:24:03.440
as best I can. I'll fix things that get broken or don't work.

418
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:06.320
Right. I mean, this is what I tell my kids all the time,

419
00:24:06.320 --> 00:24:09.400
right, resiliency and problem solving. So

420
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:16.680
absolutely, yeah, I think that if you didn't just do it, then

421
00:24:16.760 --> 00:24:18.920
you wouldn't have done it. And you wouldn't have made that

422
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:21.760
phone call. And all these wonderful things wouldn't have

423
00:24:21.760 --> 00:24:26.400
fallen into place the way that they did. And having a mentor

424
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:31.240
for an entire year and getting your mobile park and the fire

425
00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:35.320
pit and all these other things and the hands on learning that

426
00:24:35.320 --> 00:24:38.560
is so invaluable that your family gets as well to see the

427
00:24:38.560 --> 00:24:44.240
journey to see what goes into this type of work and you're

428
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:47.520
building an empire. I'm pretty sure that if I were to take a

429
00:24:47.520 --> 00:24:50.440
stab at the dark and say that you're building an empire for

430
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:54.880
generational wealth so that your sons can carry on the legacy

431
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:59.880
that, you know, I'd probably be right on there and and

432
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.960
You want them to learn.

433
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.440
You don't want to just hand it off and say, OK, good luck.

434
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:05.840
No, they need to learn hands-on how

435
00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:10.720
to continue to build a solid foundation to move forward

436
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:13.160
so that it doesn't crumble later on down the road.

437
00:25:13.160 --> 00:25:16.920
And allowing them to be there for those processes

438
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:21.840
and those conversations and doing all these improvements

439
00:25:21.840 --> 00:25:24.240
and keeping them in the loop, that is so important.

440
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:28.720
And I'm so happy to hear that you do have them a part of that

441
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:30.320
because I'm sure that they love it.

442
00:25:30.320 --> 00:25:32.960
And they're very proud of how far you've come,

443
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.160
all the work that you're putting into it as well.

444
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:38.400
And then one more thing, actually,

445
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:40.760
the whole sleeping at night thing.

446
00:25:40.760 --> 00:25:42.560
That's when your brain is telling you, OK,

447
00:25:42.560 --> 00:25:45.000
what do I have to do, and what comes next, and what have I

448
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.120
done, and did I do it?

449
00:25:47.120 --> 00:25:49.800
Organization, I think, is one of the biggest things.

450
00:25:49.800 --> 00:25:52.260
I'm old school, and one of my best purchases

451
00:25:52.260 --> 00:25:55.280
ever was a dry erase board at the dollar store.

452
00:25:55.280 --> 00:25:57.640
And it's constantly changing and moving.

453
00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:59.440
And, OK, this is my new project.

454
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:00.560
This is what I have to do.

455
00:26:00.560 --> 00:26:01.520
This is the breakdown.

456
00:26:01.520 --> 00:26:02.180
What have I done?

457
00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:03.440
Have I contacted the lawyers?

458
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:05.140
Have I told my accountant about this?

459
00:26:05.140 --> 00:26:07.120
Have I moved this money over here?

460
00:26:07.120 --> 00:26:09.880
And then I check them off one at a time.

461
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:13.040
Some tech savvy people would love Excel spreadsheets.

462
00:26:13.040 --> 00:26:15.840
I love Excel spreadsheets as well.

463
00:26:15.840 --> 00:26:19.680
And I definitely use that for budgeting and calculations,

464
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:21.840
timing, dates, all that kind of stuff.

465
00:26:21.840 --> 00:26:22.560
I love that.

466
00:26:22.560 --> 00:26:26.600
If I put it in my OneDrive, I can share that as well

467
00:26:26.600 --> 00:26:28.920
with professionals on my team and say, hey,

468
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:30.720
this is my plan moving forward.

469
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.560
And I allow them to edit it and see what's going on so

470
00:26:33.560 --> 00:26:37.120
that they can plug in numbers, and dates, and so on,

471
00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:37.680
and so forth.

472
00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:39.760
And I love that it's multifaceted.

473
00:26:39.760 --> 00:26:42.320
So if that helps you at all with your sleeping at night

474
00:26:42.320 --> 00:26:45.560
and making sure that you don't think about it at night,

475
00:26:45.560 --> 00:26:51.120
maybe that would help, is a document in your OneDrive

476
00:26:51.120 --> 00:26:54.320
that you have granted access and that you can update it

477
00:26:54.320 --> 00:26:55.360
as you check things off.

478
00:26:55.360 --> 00:26:57.520
And you get that sense of satisfaction as well.

479
00:26:57.520 --> 00:26:58.280
Absolutely.

480
00:26:58.280 --> 00:26:58.800
Absolutely.

481
00:26:58.800 --> 00:26:59.960
No good advice.

482
00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:02.680
I want to just say one last thing, folks.

483
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:05.400
Peacebuyer has a ton of lessons, right?

484
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:06.520
All those classes.

485
00:27:06.520 --> 00:27:08.000
And like I said, some people are like,

486
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:09.400
I'm going through the whole thing.

487
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:11.560
And others are like, I'll get to it.

488
00:27:11.560 --> 00:27:12.720
They are valuable.

489
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:13.800
I wanted to share.

490
00:27:13.800 --> 00:27:16.760
And even if you can't attend things live or whatever,

491
00:27:16.760 --> 00:27:18.320
do go back to the recordings.

492
00:27:18.320 --> 00:27:20.720
Because as I was driving up to the Adirondacks

493
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:24.120
this weekend in my 3 and 1⁄2 hour drive,

494
00:27:24.120 --> 00:27:29.000
I listened to the biannual coaching session

495
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:30.760
that Scott and Michael do.

496
00:27:30.760 --> 00:27:33.880
And it was, I think, two hours, Gabrielle.

497
00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.680
And listening to in the drive, my kids

498
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:38.920
were asleep in the backseat.

499
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:43.280
And again, it's just people sharing their experiences

500
00:27:43.280 --> 00:27:45.080
or asking their questions and getting

501
00:27:45.080 --> 00:27:46.240
advice on the real estate.

502
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:48.640
And for the first time, I listened.

503
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:50.800
Or maybe not the first time, but I listened.

504
00:27:50.800 --> 00:27:53.720
And another gentleman was doing something similar to me

505
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:55.120
with the HELOC and this and that.

506
00:27:55.120 --> 00:27:57.080
And it was such validation for me.

507
00:27:57.080 --> 00:27:59.880
I was like, oh my gosh, I did it right.

508
00:27:59.880 --> 00:28:04.760
Scott McGillery saying I did it right.

509
00:28:04.760 --> 00:28:06.960
So I felt that was a big win for me.

510
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:08.120
I laughed out loud.

511
00:28:08.120 --> 00:28:10.520
I was like, oh my gosh.

512
00:28:10.520 --> 00:28:11.560
That's awesome.

513
00:28:11.560 --> 00:28:13.320
Oh, I love that.

514
00:28:13.320 --> 00:28:15.440
Yeah, it felt good.

515
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:16.040
Felt good.

516
00:28:16.040 --> 00:28:18.160
Because sometimes you feel like you're floundering, right?

517
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:19.120
And you will flounder.

518
00:28:19.120 --> 00:28:20.920
I've floundered on a few of these things.

519
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:26.840
I've learned I'm paying $2,000 for a real estate

520
00:28:26.840 --> 00:28:31.360
agent to do this commercial deal when someone said to me,

521
00:28:31.360 --> 00:28:33.720
oh, well, why don't you use these people?

522
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:35.200
They were only $600.

523
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:38.240
And I went, how come I didn't know?

524
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:39.760
How come I didn't have?

525
00:28:39.760 --> 00:28:43.560
So I have my moments of I wish I had done different.

526
00:28:43.560 --> 00:28:45.200
And I'm certainly learning on the spot.

527
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:46.960
But at least I'm learning, right?

528
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:52.160
And I will never again pay $2,000.

529
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.600
Yes, learning from experience, I think,

530
00:28:54.600 --> 00:28:58.880
is so much different than taking a stab in the dark.

531
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:01.120
And it's easy to feel alone in this

532
00:29:01.120 --> 00:29:04.320
because we do have an amazing community.

533
00:29:04.320 --> 00:29:05.200
And we're uplifting.

534
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:06.640
And we're loving and supportive.

535
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:09.120
And I have to tell you, there's a lot of love and support

536
00:29:09.120 --> 00:29:09.920
in the chat right now.

537
00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:11.200
I don't know if you can see it.

538
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:16.000
But there's a whole lot of congratulations for everything

539
00:29:16.040 --> 00:29:18.120
that you've accomplished and everything that you're

540
00:29:18.120 --> 00:29:19.760
doing moving forward.

541
00:29:19.760 --> 00:29:22.840
But sometimes it feels like you're alone.

542
00:29:22.840 --> 00:29:24.360
And you need that reassurance.

543
00:29:24.360 --> 00:29:28.240
And joining those live events, like the biannual,

544
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:30.000
I love that you mentioned that.

545
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.760
It gives you that affirmation that, OK, yeah, you know what?

546
00:29:32.760 --> 00:29:34.640
I am headed down the right path.

547
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:37.440
And then double-checking with your coach

548
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:38.960
and just saying, hey, this is what

549
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:40.240
I'm going to do moving forward.

550
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:42.240
This is my plan.

551
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:44.920
And getting that reassurance from a professional

552
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:46.840
who's done it before saying, yeah, this

553
00:29:46.840 --> 00:29:48.280
is how you do it moving forward.

554
00:29:48.280 --> 00:29:49.240
This is a good idea.

555
00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:52.040
Take this into consideration.

556
00:29:52.040 --> 00:29:54.320
You checked off all the boxes, Christina.

557
00:29:54.320 --> 00:29:55.320
This is amazing.

558
00:29:55.320 --> 00:29:59.400
And there's a lot of I'm sending you a lot of love.

559
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:01.240
I'm so proud.

560
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.000
of you and I'm so happy for you and I think you should be too. You've done an amazing job and

561
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:15.280
you're going to continue to do that. Thank you. Lots of hearts and thumbs up. Thanks folks. Love

562
00:30:15.280 --> 00:30:21.600
that. Well I want to thank you so much for joining us this week on the Weekly Win Session. I can't

563
00:30:21.600 --> 00:30:26.560
stop smiling. I am so proud of you my friend. I think that you're doing amazing and you're going

564
00:30:26.560 --> 00:30:34.800
to continue to do amazing things. Please, I challenge you to share this win in the Inner

565
00:30:34.800 --> 00:30:42.000
Circle on Facebook. The Keyspire Inner Circle. Post pictures we want to see. If you'd like to

566
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:48.240
share that family photo of everyone in those hazmats, I would love to see it. Not that you

567
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:54.400
have to, but I think we'd all look forward to seeing that. And then moving forward, what are

568
00:30:54.400 --> 00:31:02.400
you going to accomplish in the next seven days, Christina? Oh gosh, let's see. I haven't regrouped

569
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:12.240
on Mondays. I regroup on my master list of to-do's. I am going to go up this Thursday and again get

570
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:17.280
into that mobile home, the one in particular, the empty unit, and I'm going to start painting. I'm

571
00:31:17.280 --> 00:31:24.080
going to degrease and paint this and I'm going to try out a new backsplash that I found on Amazon.

572
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:30.480
I'm also up for trying anything, so hopefully that'll work. And if we can improve again someone's

573
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:38.080
home and make them feel like their money is worth it living in a space, I'm super excited

574
00:31:38.080 --> 00:31:44.160
about that. I just this morning did all the paperwork for the new contractor to get the right,

575
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:47.360
you know, get him to make sure we get as close as possible on the right quotes.

576
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:52.320
Gary Allen, I'm going to reach out to you on the contract stuff, like I said. So now I have

577
00:31:52.320 --> 00:31:57.120
to add to my list learning about signing and doing the right contracts with contractors. So

578
00:31:58.240 --> 00:32:04.160
I think that's where I'm at. And then, yeah, I do have kids and stuff too. I didn't get any

579
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:12.560
personal. I like them. I plan to spend some time with them this week. That's awesome. I love that.

580
00:32:12.560 --> 00:32:19.040
My goal for the next seven days is going to be, there's more renovations but light

581
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:29.120
because I'm so sore. I think I have to work on packing. I already have a moving crew set up.

582
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:35.120
First time I've ever hired a team to help me move. So I'm going to be honest, I'm really excited

583
00:32:35.120 --> 00:32:41.520
about that. But with this lovely weather that we're all experiencing, I'm also networking. So

584
00:32:41.520 --> 00:32:47.520
I would really like to bring that to the forefront. And I'd like to remind everyone that networking

585
00:32:47.600 --> 00:32:55.360
is always really important for your business. So moving forward, I have events Friday,

586
00:32:55.360 --> 00:32:59.920
Saturday and Sunday this weekend. And I'm so looking forward to all of them,

587
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:05.440
having these conversations, networking with people, letting them know who I am,

588
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:12.480
what I'm doing, where I'm moving, what we've been up to. Love it. This is also one of my favorite

589
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:18.320
things to do, by the way. So I strongly encourage each of you. Now, networking can be online. It

590
00:33:18.320 --> 00:33:24.240
can be on Zooms. It can be on these weekly wind sessions. They can be virtual. They can be posts

591
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:32.880
online on your Facebook, Keyspire Inner Circle. It can be shared on your page. And it can be in

592
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:38.240
person. I am an in-person type of person. So I would love to remind you all with this lovely

593
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:44.800
weather, there's no better thing to do right now than to build your brand and your reputation

594
00:33:44.800 --> 00:33:52.480
and to expand your network. And then also remember actively listening is huge. When someone is

595
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:58.560
sharing their story, genuinely listening to what they're doing and what they've been up to

596
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:03.840
and how they got there and asking them the questions about how did you do that? What did

597
00:34:03.840 --> 00:34:09.520
you do? What motivated you? What made you pick up that phone and cold call? And how did you negotiate

598
00:34:09.520 --> 00:34:16.159
this? And how did this conversation go? You never know where that's going to lead you next. And

599
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:21.120
Christina, you're a shining example of that. So I applaud you. And I want to thank you so

600
00:34:21.120 --> 00:34:26.960
much for sharing your story with us. I really appreciate it and your time. And I appreciate

601
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:32.560
everyone's time who stayed with us on the call this morning. So thank you all. I hope you all

602
00:34:32.560 --> 00:34:47.520
have a wonderful and productive week. Take care everyone. Until next time. Thank you. Bye for now.
