If fuck around and find out it was a magazine, I'd be the motherfucking poster boy, and y'all need to try to be too. The only way that people are finding success in this day and age is by either, one, copying people who've already made it, or two, messing up so many times that there's no reason that they can't succeed. And, honestly, I'm in the latter. In the last year, I've tried and done so many things. Like, genuinely, our page started off as a real estate page. I went from real estate to a real estate team to having a mentor to investment real estate, to starting my company here, to building this community. There are so many left turns where I needed to turn right. Google Maps tried to redirect me ten different times, and I ended up exactly where I needed to be. And that's what I'm saying. You guys need to start maxing out your opportunities to mess up and fail because that's the only way that you're gonna learn and iterate and understand where you actually need to go. Business is about fucking around and finding out the best people, the most intelligent businessmen will tell you the exact same thing. Elon Musk, you go talk to him, you don't think he's gonna tell you that he messed up so many different times along the way, whether it's building Tesla, whether it's building SpaceX. It doesn't matter because these entrepreneurs know that messing up, getting things wrong, and fixing your mistakes is the most important part of understanding your business and its model.
