I am relieved to hear from seasoned players like you all that I need not stress on 1% rule.

There are investors who opt for the larger players as well like Salesforce, Pipedrive and Hubspot. 

There's value in how they are able to motivate people, but I think it does more harm than good and it's not my cup of tea.To me, the heavy hitters are the ones that answer with solid, practical advice and they share it with everyone, not just the big players or the ones that can give something in return.

I took a several day class from someone who is a big player in real estate investing in Texas, including owning several airbnbs they bought, renovated and furnished. 

At that time, I was convinced in my head that if I worked hard enough, I would be the first professional basketball player with a disability in the NBA.

The biggest players in that space are Holton-Wise (My Company), Real Estate Pros, Re/Max Haven & Howard Hanna

Otherwise, you will not get exposure to how the deals are structured, who the big players are, what types of properties are commonly used, etc.Being on the legal side, I know these deals can be quite complex, as there are lots of limitations and tax regulations, which is magnified as outside investors or banks often join the projects and utilize the credits.

Just like Amazon.com and Ebay.com ) If I am bigger then life and get enough players on my team we will win at the game of life.Setup my opt-in list funnels to work for each type of client listed above for all my ads, websites and videos.Now my lists are building and I will have to take orders and place orders for what my clients want, Since I am now the go to guy to for Real Estate Deals in my area.Now that I have orders coming in for properties. 

Another key player is your architect.

As a result, some of the bigger players don't pay much attention to you until you start showing up for a while and they see you're serious.So to get the maximum benefit from these organizations, pick one (or two) that best fits your schedule and attend regularly.
