Failure is always an option. Success feels great, sure, but it\u2019s only when we fail that we actually learn the biggest lessons. That\u2019s why I brought Nick Aalerud onto the Real Estate Investment Profit Master Podcast. He didn\u2019t become a profit master overnight. He had to lose $400,000 first before he learned the ins and outs of this business. And the advice he offers today will be invaluable to all of you up-and-coming investment masters listening in. Nick used to be an investment banker in Boston, and he\u2019ll be the first to tell you that the job sounds way more glamorous than it actually is. The grind quickly turned into 80 hour work weeks, and no one can sustain that for too long. As a joke, Nick answered one of those late night real estate infomercials. And while it may not have been the most fruitful decision at first, it ultimately changed his mindset and put him on the path to becoming the real estate investment master he is today. Today, Nick talks about exactly what turned him into an investment master. We get into all the nitty gritty, the good and the bad, and you\u2019ll never believe how a Las Vegas hypnotist and a bottle of shampoo changed Nick\u2019s working attitude. Because you never know what will be your inspiration or your motivation, you just have to be sure to take ownership of whatever it is that inspires you. Tune in now so you don\u2019t miss out on how you can turn your failures into your real life investment inspiration.
