Mr. A, on the other hand, with NO financial education, decided to TAKE ACTION.
As for me, I continued investing in real estate, trying to figure out ways to increase my cash flow and hopefully eat my equity (spoiler alert: you can’t eat equity.🤦♂️).
Can you imagine having the solution right in front of you, but you are too blind to see it?
That was me... (I’m so embarrassed to say this now)
But don’t feel bad for me yet; this story doesn’t end here...
Eighteen months later, I catch up with Mr. A. over lunch to chat about life, investing and everything in between…
He starts telling me how much fun he’s having making so much money with this strategy that he’s made into a side hustle.
He shared with me that he made more than $100,000 with this side hustle!
Yep, you counted the zeroes correctly… $100,000 of passive income.
He started with a $10,000 investment. As he saw more and more profit, Mr. A ratcheted up his commitment, eventually funding this side hustle to the tune of $400,000.
With this strategy, Mr. A had built a six-figure side hustle in 18 months!
Let’s pause here for a second...
Have you ever missed out on what could have been a life-changing opportunity? Do you remember how that felt?
Well, I felt a thousand times worse.
Before my eyes, Mr. A’s timeline to complete financial independence shrank from 25 years to 5 years!!!
It was mind-blowing!
Sure, I was very happy for Mr. A… But I was so mad at myself.
