Good afternoon bigger Pocket family! 
    
I been so busy building that I haven’t had a moment to come back on here and update you all. I hope this post finds many of you well and persevering! 

    Two years since my last post and I’m nearing my target goal of 2 dozen. Although I’m 31, my initial goal was to attain 2 dozen single family homes before 30. However, I been now flipping property to acquire assets to fund cash. The goal is to acquire rentals and have them paid off early on. Proud to say a majority have been paid off...anything that I’m flipping has equity allowing me to make profit and  cash out deals. Everyday I’m learning something new. Wether it be about people, the business or myself. You have days of burn outs because you do it all on your own. But than you have days so powerful that you are proud you never gave up on yourself. Life is going to give you continuous road blocks...things of your past may linger, family members may now become your enemies due to your success, friends look at you different because of what you have done for yourself. I’m here to tell you, f$&@em! You owe it to yourself to be a bad ***! You owe it to yourself to be the legend that you are. People think you worked this hard to stay the same. Remember, many want you to good but never better then them. Many come back around not because they miss you, but to see how they can leach of you as well. It’s lonely at the top! That’s why a Ferrari has two or one seat. You can read as many books but that won’t do much for you in life. The best way to learn a trade or any skill is to jump right in and start working. Acquire the knowledge as you move forward. I’m learning everyday. No risks no rewards! You may have something holding you back, I’m here to tell you whatever doubt you may have it’s all an illusion. Fear is an illusion. Nobody is going to come give you ****. I continue despite having all that I have put in 80-100 hour work weeks..yes I can relax now, which I do on occasion but I still work as if someone is working harder to take it away from me. Make small attainable goals and work on them daily. YOU are YOUR own MOTIVATOR! If you truly self reflect, you will find that many are still doing the same bull **** they where doing last year. Not many are progressing. Remember, there is greatness in you! Only you can bring that inner beast out! Nobody else! Nobody wants to be seen starting at the bottom, to prideful...slow success builds character, fast success builds ego. Take it one day a time, take care of your mental health and take care of you. Make yourself proud. People are going to talk, wether you are doing well or not. And those talking about you are a blessing, the fact that people took time out of their pathetic lives to have a conversation about you says a lot about you and how you are doing and a lot about how they are doing. 

    keep pushing yourself. On good days and bad, keep pushing and keep climbing. If you think you have no one believing in you, know that I believe in you! Keep hustling and keep grinding you bosses! 

Here is a gift to myself..to inspire you all that dreams are attainable..my 1 of 20 karma fisker color combo! First and only one in my city!
