In this solo episode, I’m diving into a real-world case study from a recent conversation with one of our deal partners. If you’ve ever felt the pull of a shiny new real estate opportunity just as you’re getting traction in your current deals, this one’s for you. I break down how distractions can derail your progress and why staying focused on your primary game plan is key to long-term success.

We’ll talk about the “Five D’s” of the entrepreneurial journey—especially distraction—and how even seemingly great opportunities can lead you off course. I also share a powerful baseball analogy (you won’t forget it!) that will change the way you think about staying in your lane as an investor. Whether you’re flipping houses or eyeing mobile home parks, this episode will help you filter through the noise and stay locked in on what really matters.

Key Takeaways

1. Focus First, Diversify Later – Nail your current strategy, like flipping, before exploring passive income opportunities.

2. Distraction is Inevitable—Manage It – Real estate is full of shiny objects; having clarity on your primary goal helps you resist FOMO.

3. Play Your Position – Like a baseball team, every role matters. Success comes from mastering your spot before trying to take on others.
