Reflecting on the adage 'Your network is your net worth,' I'm compelled to share a transformative experience from the 3rd Annual 18 Alpha Investing Real Estate Ski Retreat in Beaver Creek, CO, masterfully hosted by Dean "GOGS" Valentini and his partner Anthony Mirabile Each year, this event has humbly positioned me as the 'dumbest' person in the room—a status I've come to cherish deeply. It's in these moments, surrounded by individuals whose brilliance eclipses my own, that I've discovered the true essence of growth and the immeasurable value of an empowering network. The retreat has evolved remarkably over the past three years, transcending its initial focus on the tactical aspects of wealth accumulation. Instead, it has pivoted towards the core elements that truly enrich our lives: happiness, meaningful relationships, and the pursuit of harmony over hustle. This shift underscores a profound realization that success isn't merely about the accumulation of wealth but about fostering a life filled with genuine contentment and connections. This journey has reinforced my belief in the importance of surrounding ourselves with extraordinary individuals—those who challenge us, inspire us, and encourage us to grow alongside them. It's a reminder that our growth is not just about where we are heading but also about who we choose to walk with along the path. I invite you to reflect: When was the last time you embraced being the 'dumbest' person in the room? How has your network shaped your journey toward growth and fulfillment? #realestate #mastermind #retreat #mindset #realestateinvesting #business
Great feedback Alex! The shift towards mindset, happiness, relationships, and now Harmony over Hustle (love this add from Dane) is something we felt as well this year. It speaks to the growth of the group which is amazing. Humbled and honored to be on the journey with you.
