Tarl Yarber is a real estate mogul who's flipped over 650 houses and built a thriving events business from the ground up!

But this isn't your typical "I got rich quick" story. He even quit real estate THREE TIMES before finally cracking the code.

Tarl's journey is one of overcoming adversity, learning from HUGE mistakes (like racking up $14,000 in credit card debt chasing his real estate dreams!), and building a business that supports the life he wants to live.

In this episode, Tarl shares his story, from his early days door-knocking in a moldy car, how he survived the "dip," the power of surrounding yourself with the right people, and why designing your life first is the key to building a business you love.

Tarl also talks about:
- Turning $10 into... well, NOT $10,000 in 30 days (wholesaling is HARDER than it looks!)
- The ONE book that completely shifted his mindset at age 17
- Why he dropped out of college to pursue real estate full-time
- Building a $3 Million/month REO business from scratch
- The pivotal moment he realized he was building a business he “hated”
- How he and his wife Grace designed their dream life and built a business to support it
- Why he believes you should “HATE” real estate if you want to be successful at it
- The power of saying NO to opportunities that don't align with your goals

Books Mentioned:
- Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
- The Four-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss
- The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande
