Do-do-do-do-do! Headlines, this just in. Youtubees makes a million dollars! And
that is actually what happened for my friend, Sterling. He's joining me here
today. For those of you don't know me, I'm Kris Krohn and this channel is
everything real estate wealth and creating an amazing happy life.
And Sterling, I've got him joining me. Sterling and I, we go back quite a bit
don't we? -We do. -Dude, how far back? -10 years, 9 years, something like that.
-Dude one of my mentors recently taught me, learn to think in decades because times
going to pass whether you're doing deals or not. It's been... I can't believe that it's
been 9/10 years and in that period of time... Dude, how much money have you made?
-Million dollars, 14 houses. -14 houses and a million dollars. Now, I'm a little
disappointed because I teach people to count to 10 to get to million. You had to
count to 14. -I know. -That's a joke. -I'm a disappointment. -No, but this is pretty
cool, right? I mean you know, you and I met such a long time ago and when we did, did
you have a lot of money? -No. -So you're just like a lot of the people watching
this video. You didn't have money but what did you have? I have the drive. I have the
courage to leave with the faith into it. And not know everything. You could spend
all your time just researching and reading books. But until you go out and
look at deals walk properties. Meet with brokers. Make it happen. -Yeah, so you got...
-Something different. -Yeah, you got boots on the ground. There's
always this... There's the money component and then there's the active participant
and sometimes that sometimes you're both and sometimes you're just one or the
other. In your case, you didn't have the money but what you did have was that
drive in that motivation. What was driving you? What was it that you wanted
that really was compelling? You think... -It was freedom.
At first, it was my parents money. He had it all in the stock market. They've been
you know... And that emotional roller coaster, watching a dip and go up and go
back down and lose it all. So, he pulled it all out and said, "You guys go figure
out the real estate thing." And I was like, "Okay dad, I'm going to retire you." It's going to
happen this year now. -Okay, it's your dad's next to retiring this year? Dude,
good job. That's awesome. That's a great feeling. Now, I want you
understand something. Families are great, great people to partner with but you
don't have to partner with family. You have so many different options of what
you can do. Let's talk a little bit about what started. So you were obviously
driven by freedom and you said, "Dad, let's use some of your money." He obviously had
something saved of older people often do. And basically, there was enough of a
trusted network and relationship where you got to jump. Now, what did you do in
the beginning? We went and tried to do it ourselves. So we took the Kiyosaki
courses. Paid a bunch of money for all different real estate courses. Took fix
and flip, buy an old, lease option. Sort of sale. Every strategy you know on the
planet. Too many strategies. But faction. So then we met with Kris, it was
recommended. I think referral by person. Somebody at the at the other camps and
we went with you and within you know, week we were like, "Okay, here's deals." The
one sheet, the perform. It made sense. We got some deals. 30 bucks a square foot. It...
I think... -How much you paid for all that other education by the way? Upwards
of 40 grand/50 grand. -Yeah. I mean this exists out. -And noything happened
with it. -Yeah, 40, 50 grand. This is common. A lot of people will spend money
but it doesn't necessarily mean action. When I work with you, dude, we better be
committing action. We better be committed enough to make some happen. So in
Sterling situation, I brought my team in my resources in and said, "Hey, we're going to
bring the deals, we're going to bring you the the hot ones that are going to work for
you." We started lining them up for them. And so, that's how you got your start and
started actually initially getting out there. You were the managing and dad
brought the money. And I mean it sounds like everyone's made a lot of money but
just your cut alone, you've made a million dollars. -Millions dollars, yeah.
-So, you originally went in Sterling because you were motivated by freedom.
Let me ask you, you know a million is only so much money but what is your life
look like today different than how it looked then?
-Right now, I'm hustling every day on the business. But I know that very soon, my my
time will be my own completely, 100%. -So, you're still putting a lot of active
time and energy. Do you feel more free than before? -Absolutely. -Did you have a
job then? Do you have a job now? -I was working retail, folding clothes, I
can fold pants really well. -My time is much better you know, finding deals
and... Real estate than it is. Working you know, I can go out get a job
making 40, 50, 100 grand a year. Or I could do real estate and leverage my time and
my other people's money and help them in the process. -Well, did you show them some of the
bigger deals that you're doing now. I mean, there's actually one that we're
looking at doing together. You're getting into some crazy, highly, profitable, real
estate because you have your basis, you have your money working for you and you
guys are elevating to another level. -Oh, yeah. -Yeah, are you excited about it? -I'm
very excited about it. -Based on the rate that doesn't rowing, what do you think
will happen with your million dollars in the next 5 years? -I calculated, I'll be
a billionaire by 40 but that's kind of... That's too much. -Okay.
-Well, a billionaire by 40 and then it's
totally fall short, it's only a hundred million. It's okay. -Yeah, if you fall
short it's okay. So, you've got a great growth projectory going. Friends, I want
you understand something. What he said here was super super key. I may have
brought the training and the resources that helped make the difference but he
brought something, Sterling brought something that I can't bring for you.
What sterling brought was drive and motivation and a desire to act. He
elevated something he wanted in life and he turned it into a need. And now you
don't see yourself a far time off from actually owning all your time back. Is that
right? Dude, if anyone's out there actually watching this video... First of
all, if you actually want a consultation to get with my team and have the same
opportunities even better than frankly, what Sterling did 10 years ago working
with us. All you needed to do is click the link in the description below and
talk to a member of my teammates and then say, "Hey! Dude, I'm like Sterling. I'm
hungry and I'm ready to get going but I don't know what to do." And my team will
put themselves in your shoes and basically Dividing your next steps. Lay out all your
options and then basically show you what it would look like for you to start.
There's a way for everyone to start. It's just a matter of whether it's a fit. The
drive however, you have to bring that. If you can give any advice to anyone that's
either considering working with my team or is watching these videos flirting
with real estate, deciding whether they want to be committed to actually doing
it, what would you say? -My path is probably
not going to be everyone else's path like my path was in Kris's path but just
getting started. Just start looking at deals, start figuring out you want to be
in the real estate game with people like Kris, who know what they're doing. Have
the team, have been doing it for decades. Are experts at it have the best systems.
It's hard to figure all that out on your own. So partner with people that know
what they're doing. -Awesome. And I would add that you went down some paths that
didn't work and then you went down others that did. So, you got to find the
great long-term players that a decade later is still going to be there. Maybe
partnering with you and making so much more happen. Dude, Sterling, I want to thank
you for being here today. -Absolutely. -Thank you guys for tuning in.
Sterling, he's just one of the many many millionaires that we've helped create
over time. And friends, you might be the next millionaire and if you're feeling
like, "Hey, whether I got money, whether I don't got money." But it's time to take
action, it's time to to man up, cowboy up, make that happen.
