Leaving your W2 so you can transition into something that gives you lifestyle freedom definitely takes a mountain of courage. But once you commit to that intention, set and measure your goals, and develop a daily routine that sets you up for success, then your opportunities are boundless.
In this conversation, real estate investor Chad Kirkpatrick shares how he was able to 10X his net worth from when he started investing in 2011, to now being the sole owner of over $8 million in real estate and other investments.
Chad reveals what took him so long to mentally break from the W2 mindset and work through it. He also shares one of his greatest life lessons from turning down a rare opportunity to work with Robert Kiyosaki.

Notable quotes from the Episode:
“When you mentally check out because you're going to leave, it's just hard to stay.”
“I kept coming back to this concept of a ‘gentleman of leisure’. I don't want to work more than 30 hours a week, total. So every line of business cannot together be more than 30 hours.”
“When you get an opportunity, take it–no matter how crazy.”
“It's very easy to get comfortable and be the smartest person in the room... but when you have 2, 3, or 4 times more than you, it changes your thinking and your dynamic.”
