Also just want to add one thing.
These types of limiting beliefs are completely invisible because they don't show themselves as negative.
It's not like I ever told myself
"no, I can't do that" or "it's too big."
Instead, it looks more like
"oh, I need to do all these steps before I'll get there."
But the reality was, I could've started this big from the start.
It's all mental.
I'm closing an 8 figure deal, here's what I learned:
The main thing is that I could've done this way earlier
It's all mental
The second thing, is I've had to become another person to sit in a room with the people who do these type of deals
OSO is a hungry monster
This new person is strategic, thoughtful and always aware of his positioning and leverage.
That doesn't matter, it could've been done earlier.
The money gave me confidence to go for it, but the people I interact with don't even know about the money.
To them, it's all the same.
I've also had to create a new network. My successful friends are not the same level of success when you need $1-10m liquid.
It's a different animal.
After this is complete my next goal is $100m and to the people at this level I've asked, they've all said it's realistic if I pull this off.
Ignore the numbers and remember one thing: nothing changed except my mental.
How much are you limiting yourself without even knowing it?
Go bigger and become who you need to be to reach that. It's not the same person you are now.
Onwards.
See, I think it's so deep that you can't even choose to go backwards.
For example, that founder of WeWork - I would bet a lot of money that the investors that give funding to $1M+ he doesn't even know how to talk to them anymore.
I would bet you he only knows how to even reach people at the 1 Billion level of investors and he only knows how to talk to those people now.
I would go so far to say that if he went to the 1M guy, they would think he's crazy. So he literally cannot even go to a smaller level even if he wanted to.
To add to this, a good example how it's all 100% mental
WeWork founder failed spectacularly.
Took his time, decided to start a new company, raises $725m when he feels like it.
Is he special? No. He simply learned how to play the game at the biggest level.
Once you learn, you literally can't go back.
It's a checkpoint.

Thanks man, this really changes a lot and I can't believe how it's literally all mental.
It also goes even deeper. You ever notice how people who fail at a massive level, when they get back up they always start at the same level again?
It's because they learned how to play at that level. That is their reality. They only know how to play at 10-100m.
It's not network, it's not because they're special.
It's because they became who was needed to play at that level and once you do that, there is no turning back. It's like a checkpoint in a video game.
I don't think I can ever go broke now fr, especially because this is all self made. I can simply go raise another 10m
The smartest thing I've ever done subconsciously my whole life is having a council and networking.
I've never networked with the goal of using people, it's not a conscious act. I simply allow myself to be myself, and naturally that attracts people that understand me, which creates organic friendships.
Some of these people are special in terms of accomplishments, this lets me use them as council.
I field ideas off them and gauge how realistic or dumb they are.
I've had this my whole life unintended, just organically and it's becoming very clear how beneficial it has been.
Create a council of people you can trust. It's worth it.
Every king has a council.
If your patient, this market provides some really really clear setups
