Career Update: 🌱 Reflecting on a decade in the training industry, I'm grateful for the journey and the extraordinary participants I've had the privilege to interact with. Training is more than a profession; it's a passion close to my heart. The constant quest of "What's next?" and "How can we innovate?" has always propelled me forward. Through engaging with numerous inspiring founders, a clear path has emerged, guided by the weak signals that whisper of change and the courage required to pivot.   I am excited to announce the expansion of our venture, White Oak. An investment arm through which I'll collaborate with visionary founders to create an ecosystem in the financial education industry that helps Simplify, Empower, and Endure – Our Vision. We aim to partner with training firms and financial institutions to co-create transformative solutions in the ed-tech space.   🦷 Parallel to this, my commitment to the dental business continues unabated. With a focus on expansion through roll-ups, we are fortunate to have secured the financial backing of an incredible group of family and friends. Their unwavering trust and support fuel our ambition and constantly remind us of the power of community.   🚀 As we step into 2024, the excitement for what's ahead is palpable. It's a time ripe for new collaborations, challenges, and opportunities to make a meaningful impact.

If I had listened to the naysayers saying it wasn't possible… I wouldn't have: → Empowered over 500+ busy professionals with the insights of Multifamily Investing. → Successfully closed our inaugural full-cycle deal, giving investors an impressive 30% average annual return. Secured over $30M in investments. Together with XSITE Capital Investment team, we launched the biggest project of 2023 (Multifamily 101): A coaching program for everyone who: → Want to gain financial freedom in the long term → Want to purchase their first-ever real estate property → Already invests but struggles with certain problems & need help The best part? → It will help you to gain more confidence in life too. (It’s the same process that helped us go from beginners to managing a $168MM real estate portfolio.) Why this process? Through my 5+ years of investing experience, I discovered that the best way to learn something is to do it together. To help other IT professionals and passionate individuals to pursue their passions. Bridge the wealth gap for everybody. How does this coaching program work? It can be 1 of the 2 options (depending on your situation): → 1:1 mentorship → Self Paced digital course & Group coaching/Mastermind We still have some spots left for 1:1 mentorship & group coaching programs. If you are one of those people ready to have more in life, drop me a DM with “Ready,” & we will chat about the best option that fits your situation. P.S. I am also leaving links to each program in the comment section. 🙏🏾 (Or click the link in my featured section in my profile) P.P.S. Appreciate all of your feedback & support during the launch. It means the world to me. Thank you. ❤️ If you are one of those people ready to have more in life, drop me a DM with “Ready,” & we will chat about the best option that fits your situation.

Part #4 While not all cases are the same and not all problems, that are similar in nature, have the same solution, there are some proven methods to help with specific situations such as this case study. Adopting a more modest strategy, the family sought the expertise of seasoned professionals (like ourselves), for the rebuilding phase. With newfound wisdom and unwavering enthusiasm, Michael did not assume an executive position but served as an apprentice under an experienced project manager. Embracing a mindset they labelled the "public standard," the family began rigorously evaluating their projects, approaching each as if they were external parties considering an investment opportunity. They went further by welcoming external investors and earnestly considering their feedback.
