Is it About That Time To Nail Phil Pustejovsky Into A Coffin?!
Hi guys,
I've found this guy on Youtube and I really like the content. He has a mentor ship program I just applied for where he takes half the profit from your first deal. I'm not a big fan of giving up my hard earned money but he supposedly coaches people through the deal which to me sounds like reducing the risk of blowing the whole deal altogether significantly which may potentially be worth it. I need some reviews about this program or advice on what you think because I am hardly willing to pay half of MY first deal for nothing.
What do you guys think of this whole situation? Are there better alternatives? I'm going to grind it out no matter who is going to coach me through deals but why not give up half a deal to get started months earlier in which time I'd be able to earn more money than I would have otherwise?
Thank you guys

@Cody Evans if you know so much go do your own deal and quit trying to throw people who you reached out to under the bus.
You are 22 and the reason you sought out a mentor is you intuitively know there are gaps in your knowledge.
Are you bringing any capital to the deal or is Phil backing you in exchange for you bringing him an opportunity so you can learn and share the profit?
What wealth of experience and knowledge do you bring to the deal?
lt IS more important to learn what you don't know and it is not about maximizing profits at the beginning of your career.
What you learn from Phil or any other mentor will be extremely valuable down the road.
Be humble, heed your mentor/s advice, grind it out, use your skills in mathematics to evaulate deals deals better than most, and succeed massively.
