You want the future to determine the present, not the present to determine the future.” - Dr. Ben Hardy  💥 “When you raise the standard to a new level, that's when it actually stops being a goal and it starts being a standard... I actually prefer standards over routines. I prefer setting a new standard and letting that standard dictate who you are and what you do.” - Dr. Ben Hardy  💥 “If you're not practicing or doing a routine towards something specific, you're actually not getting any better. You're doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” - Dr. Ben Hardy  💥 “In order to turn your life, you actually turn your identity, which involves going deep into the 20%, was deep in terms of focus and also deep in terms of recovery and processing and thinking things through. I just went so deep that my vision for my life transformed. My vision for what I could do transformed.” - Dr. Ben Hardy  💥 “If you're not willing to risk what you've got, then you have no chance of truly gaining the freedom. And if you're not willing to continue to transform through that freedom, you're just going to stay where you are, you're just going to be linear.” - Tyler Chesser  💥 “Just get better and better at clarifying what you're looking for and getting the right ‘who’ in place. So, there's no failure. It's just all learning.” - Dr. Ben Hardy  💥 “The true human condition is seeking transformation. So, let's be courageous. Let's continue to ask these type of questions. What do we want instead of what do we need? It opens up so many pathways to possibility.” - Tyler Chesser  💥 “You've got to go deeper in your unique ability to go 10x, you actually have to make it easier, but also it becomes easier and easier because you're letting go of the 80%, which is not only your old habits or your old security, it's your old stories, it's your past, it's your traumas. To go 10x, you’ve got to not only let the future dictate who you are in the present, you've got to continuously transform your past. All of those shackles that are holding you down, which is your 80%.” - Dr. Ben Hardy      About Dr. Benjamin Hardy  Dr. Benjamin Hardy is an organizational psychologist and is the world’s leading expert on the psychology of entrepreneurial leadership and exponential growth.

In March 2023, the biggest US bank failure since the 2008 global financial crisis happened as Silicon Valley Bank, a major lender to the tech industry collapsed from a bank run. The panic pushed two more US banks to fall over the edge while in the global banking stage, Credit Suisse, one of the world’s biggest financial institutions, had to be rescued by the Swiss central bank from collapse. It has been an unsettling period for investors. But, should we be worried? What’s the impact of this banking crisis on the real estate industry? What about the soaring interest rates and their consequences?   As real estate investors, it is critical to be aware of the potential effects of this crisis and other factors at play in the financial system. Joining us today, to help us understand these issues, is seasoned real estate investor, technologist, data guru, and CEO of Grocapitus Investment, Neal Bawa. Neal provides an incisive assessment of the banking collapse, the US financial system, and the effects on the real estate markets. He shares his forecasts on the credit market, the interest rate trajectory, and the US economy in general. Are we now heading for a massive recession? Click now and find out. Neal tells us how to survive the market disruption and how to seize investment opportunities.   Key Points from This Episode: Neal weighs in on the recent banking collapse, the state of the US financial system, and the economy. What caused the banking collapse, how social media accelerate bank runs, and the Treasury’s and FDIC’s response to control the contagion. Did recklessness and a lack of investing foresight on the part of the banks as the Fed fought inflation by rapid interest rate hikes lead to the banks’ downfall? What is Neal’s outlook on the credit markets amidst the banking crisis aftermath? Neal explains how and when interest rate hikes impact the economy. What can investors do to protect their investments amidst economic and financial instability? What are Neal's predictions for the single-family and multifamily markets, the investment opportunities, suitable time to buy, and underlying factors of distress in the marketplace?

Engagement, engagement, and more engagement.” - Neal Bawa   “As a limited partner investor, your job is to be an investor that thinks like Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett gets hit every time the market goes down. But guess what he does, he buys a lot more.” - Neal Bawa   “Right now multifamily is a falling knife. Single-family is a knife that's falling but in slow motion. So, it's actually much safer.” - Neal Bawa   “The market is about to lose a lot of syndicators. I think 30% of syndicators will say goodbye to the world of syndication.” - Neal Bawa   "The biggest part of your mindset today is, to tell the truth to your investors. But tell them about the opportunity that's coming up." - Neal Bawa   “You're gonna say, I don't want to buy any more multifamily. I have cash calls coming on four or five of my properties. Biggest mistake ever. The cash calls are the reason why the opportunity is so massive today.” - Neal Bawa   “The risk is out of our control. But as you continue to get educated about where things are moving, about the best moves to hedge yourself in challenging circumstances, that's how you're going to position yourself to be successful in the long term.” - Tyler Chesser   “Real estate is not day trading; it is about being successful in the long term.” - Tyler Chesser   “There are a lot of challenges in today's economy and today's market but there are also tremendous opportunities.” - Tyler Chesser      Links Mentioned: Neal Bawa on LinkedIn Multifamily University Grocapitus Investments Peter Zeihan's books The Fourth Turning by Willian Strauss and Neil Howe Principle for Dealing with The Changing World Order by Ray Dalio Invest with CF Capital   About Neal Bawa Neal Bawa is a technologist who is universally known in real estate circles as the Mad Scientist of Multifamily.
