For 13 years, I worked as an Air Traffic Controller, helping planes land safely while also trying to build my real estate business on the side. I thought if I just worked harder and did everything myself, I would finally be successful. I wanted to keep 100% of every deal because I thought that was the only way to win.
But every time I tried to take control of a deal, it felt like something went wrong. I was losing deals, and I didn’t understand why. I was chasing tiny grapes when I could have been growing huge watermelons.
One day, after losing another deal, I started asking myself, “What am I doing wrong?” That’s when I discovered something that changed everything for me: The Deal Formula. I realized I didn’t need to own every part of a deal; I just needed to work with the right people who could help.
The Deal Formula is simple. It’s about using three things: Expertise (people who know what they’re doing), Grit (people who never give up), and Money (people who can help pay for the deal). Instead of doing it all alone, I could team up with others who had what I didn’t.
You know how it feels when you try to do everything by yourself? It’s tough, and it doesn’t always work. But when I started working with other people, we could all share a piece of something much bigger. Instead of fighting over a small grape, we were growing big, juicy watermelons together.
I started to look for partners who brought different strengths to the table. I didn’t have to control everything; I just needed to be part of something bigger. That’s when I started winning more often. Deals got better, everyone was happy, and people wanted to work with me because I wasn’t just taking—I was sharing.
You know how great it feels when everyone is on your team? That’s what the Deal Formula is all about. It’s about creating win-win-win situations where everyone gets something good. You don’t need to fight to have it all. When you work together, you can have so much more.
So if you’re like I was, trying to do it all on your own, remember this: It’s not about taking the whole grape for yourself. It’s about growing watermelons that everyone can enjoy. Share, work together, and you’ll end up with something way better than you ever imagined.
