Lauren interviewed the Wealth Building Waiter this week, Adam. He’s a 23-year-old who started in the restaurant business in 2020 and has worked his way up. Adam worked 6 days a week for years as a server and just recently transitioned to 3 night per week to spend more time on real estate: being a Director of a Housing program, managing and rehabbing properties, being on the board of his HOA, and being a real estate agent. Adam breaks down the mechanics of his partnership deals. How does he find deals? Cold calling. The two emphasize personal branding and networking, which has served Adam well as he meets people at the restaurant. Again, we learn that who you surround yourself with matters. Interestingly, it seems like all you need to do to succeed is show up and work hard. Then stack your progress as you learn, grow, and develop. It sucks getting started. It sucks not knowing what to do.
*Apologies from Lauren for her voice. She was a little sick.*
