@Account Closed I'm excited for you!  I grew a firm from my spare bedroom to 80 employees and over 200m in AUM by end of this year. BTW, I'm just getting started!

I built the foundation first on property management services to clients. This allowed me a recurring income stream with which to build from. Deal fees alone won't get you there. You need to sell services, a product, something that you can consistently duplicate! A formula if you will. I did this by do something most people didn't want to do; property management.

I'd wish you luck but luck doesn't really exist! You make your destiny every minute of every day. 

Now go get it Dawg!
