New home development stopped on a dime, which I was in, so i had to take a big step back and when I realized it was going to be more then a few day/week thing, I got busy figuring out how I was going to evolve.
A few months into it, I recognized this opportunity to put my skills to use, so i started flipping homes. As most said i was nuts I knew I was onto something smart because most were in chaos and clueless so going opposite of the pack seemed spot on.
Then I learned all about redemptions, and then wholesaling, and kept on flipping. I kept learning, reaching, adding new skills and tools to the tool belt, evolving over and over again.
I had this motto that I shared when people asked why i was doing what I was doing "because I refuse to participate in a down economy". I said that over and over, day after day, I simply refused to participate in the sh#t side of things. And demanded of myself that I simply make my reality happen, period.
It was amazing times, seriously. I found the best of myself, and I never experienced a recession, I experienced a boom. For me the recession was "elevator music" at best, something in the background my ears heard and brain ignored.
