I'm sharing stories and lessons learned while documenting my journey to getting my real estate license and first sale. Banker → Real Estate + Writer.

[Isaiah Wallace @ByIsaiahWallace]

3 years ago, I was at the lowest point in my life.

Since then, I've:

• Fell in love with learning
• Dropped out of college to pursue online business
• Found the girl of my dreams
• Spend >20 hours a week working on myself

Here are the 6 greatest lessons I've learned:

@InvestnWPreston That’s the best way to do it I’d imagine.

I have an announcement.

To those of you following me, I appreciate the support you've given me over the last few months.

But a change is here.

Have you ever had an idea come to mind that feels right?

Something that pops up in your head and makes you think, "Wait a second, I might be on something."

I recently experienced this, leaving me to realize a change is necessary.

3 years ago, I first learned about real estate, and ever since, it's been a part of my plan to enter this field one day.

Well, this day is here as I've just bought the course to get my real estate license and become an agent.

Over the coming months, I'll be working on getting my license and joining a brokerage while working my day job in banking.

Along this journey, I will share stories of lessons learned and documenting my journey to my first sale.

You've most likely followed me for reasons other than real estate, so if you unfollow me, no worries, I understand.

I hope to show my journey in real estate and leave you with information and lessons to help you as well.

If interested, feel free to stick around.

I appreciate the support I've received and the people I've met.

I hope you have a great rest of your day and keep grinding.

@InvestnWPreston I’d agree with you there

As I progress through my day job parts of me wonders why “moving up in the world” in the corporate ladder is so praised.

“Moving up” calls for more responsibilities, more drama, more stress, and slightly more pay.

No wonder those who make it to the top, end up burnt out.

And those who start something for themselves (side hustles), escape this path to do their own shit.

I’d say a 1-2 year sacrifice of time spent on creating something of your own is worth it by the looks of it.

I recently met a woman who won the lottery.

Her and her ex-husband had won a scratch off worth over $100k as seniors in high school.

They were on top of the world.

Young and dumb they thought they could retire and do what they want.

But we know thats not how life works.

Fast forward they divorced, blew through the money, and ended up swimming in loans.

Luck to those not prepared is karma in disguise.

And luck can happy to anyone at anytime.

But those who did not prepare or work to reach the luck will only be rewarded with hardships and a lesson learned.

You can pray for luck and you might just hit it one day.

Or you can do the work that doesn’t need luck in order to get you where you want to go.

The choice is yours.

@ShinerTheWriter I appreciate that Patrick!

We will see what the future holds. I'm thrilled to watch you and your journey as well.

[Isaiah Wallace @ByIsaiahWallace]

@ItsKyleAdams I think so.

I'd love to show people the entire journey of getting the license all the way to buying, selling, investing, and anything else along the way.

@justlnmiller Depending on what I am wanting to be mentored on.

[Isaiah Wallace @ByIsaiahWallace]

AI and writing is like pineapple on pizza.

That shit doesn't mix.

Can it help with ideas and research?

Yes, of course.

Can it help you connect with your audience?

Hell no.

Writing uses your creative mind. Don't let AI strip you of that.

[Isaiah Wallace @ByIsaiahWallace]

If your screen time is over 4 hours a day, you need to find something to do.

• Make dinner for your family.

• Build a side hustle

• Go to the gym.

• Read a book.

• Take a walk

Phones distract us from the simple beauties of life.

Reconnect with them.

@justlnmiller People have a bad relationship with debt because they were told it was bad and accepted that as the answer.

The best way I found looking at debt differently was ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ it’ll open your eyes to investments and liabilities.

[Isaiah Wallace @ByIsaiahWallace]

@justlnmiller Exactly Justin. I’ve seen others use this method and seems to work great!

@AkinyemiMathew5 Thats for sure, debts can bring good and bad depending on how you view them and use them.

[Isaiah Wallace @ByIsaiahWallace]

My biggest mistake in not going to college isn't the experiences I'm losing.

It's believing not going meant I avoided debt.

That's not how it works.

All paths of life incur debt.

Most people talk about financial debt.

College, car payments, credit cards, rent, etc.

But those are only one part of the picture.

No matter what you choose to do, you have:

• Time debt

• Knowledge debt

• Experience debt

• Network debt.

And even life debt.

We all pay a price.

Debt is looked at as something bad.

But flipping it from "How can I avoid it?"

To "How can I pay it off the fastest?"

It causes you to revert towards learning, doing more, meeting more people, and being action-biased.

You don't outpace others by hacks and tricks to avoid debt.

You do the shit you know will pay off the unavoidable debts of life.

Each day that passes, you dig a bigger hole.

Entrepreneurship is the buzzword of the internet because people realize this.

So they incur risk to fast track paying off their intangible loans to help pay off their financial ones.

Avoiding debt is a lie.

But disciplined actions to be in less debt is a game worth playing.

@staceypacer @GregLunt27 Ahhhh you got me there Stacey.

[Isaiah Wallace @ByIsaiahWallace]

@TaylinSimmonds @WrongsToWrite That f*cking wild man. Love to hear stuff like that.

[Isaiah Wallace @ByIsaiahWallace]

@realJerryCho Yes sir Jerry. Life moves so fast it's easy to let months if not years, fly by.

I appreciate that and you as well brother🤝

[Isaiah Wallace @ByIsaiahWallace]

I realize now my biggest mistake was believing life after school was about “what’s to come.”

When it’s all about what’s now.

I’ve let a year of my life fly by because I’ve constantly looked for the future.

And it’ll do the same to you.

• Smell the fresh air when you walk out of the house.

• Look at the sky and appreciate its simple beauty.

• Call your mom and ask her how day has been.

• Go to the gym and talk to someone new.

• Try that recipe you’ve always wanted.

• Take a drive and listen to music.

• Look in the mirror and smile.

• Write down 3 affirmations.

• Explore a local town.

• Take a day trip.

• Ride a bike.

And appreciate what’s around you now.

Don’t let wishes become regrets.
