Highlights

“I realized that with real estate, you have a lot of flexibility. You could do a flip, you could partner with someone, invest passively, you could buy a small rental, you don't have to quit your job day one.” — Ketan Patel [0:06:45]

“It doesn't really matter what business you do and what your strategies are. At the end of the day, the thoughts, the beliefs, the emotions you have, they determine so much about your success and things like that. Instead of just focusing on the knowledge, the technical aspects, they are important, but they're not as important.” — Ketan Patel [0:10:12]

“You can’t postpone happiness and joy and everything for the future. I got to start living it now regardless if I have that or not.” — Ketan Patel [0:30:15]

“We [pharmacists] don't give ourselves credit of what's really possible for us.” — Ketan Patel [0:32:44]
