EP 78: What a Failed Real Estate Deal Says About You (Follow-Up to Your Deal is Your Fault)

Last week, legendary investor Peter Fortunato shared a powerful truth: “Your deal is your fault.” That episode sparked a lot of conversation and maybe even a little discomfort because it challenged how we think about responsibility in Real Estate.

In today’s follow-up, I’m breaking that idea down even further.This isn’t about blame, it’s about power. When things don’t go according to plan, when the market feels impossible, when a deal falls apart… that’s not a reason to quit, it’s an invitation to grow.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

- Why “fault” isn’t about guilt, it’s about gaining control.

- What a failed deal actually reveals about your systems and mindset.

- How to adapt when the market turns against you.

- Why opportunity doesn’t disappear, it just stops being easy.

- A step-by-step way to learn from your toughest deals and rebuild stronger.

If you’ve been questioning whether real estate is still worth it in a tough market, this episode is for you.
