I help top sales reps go from commission rich to real estate investors
💸 while growing their sales.
🏝️ $3.8M sales → first house at 20 → 8 by 24

Family >>> everything

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

Spikes feel productive.
But floors build businesses.

Set the big slingshot every 6-8 weeks, but keep the weekly base alive or you will always feel like everything is an emergency.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

The guy making $150K with no system and the guy making $70K with no system are often stuck for the same reason.

They both think the next jump in income will save them.
It usually (always) doesn’t resolve the stress.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

Big dreams stop feeling crazy once you reverse-engineer them into this month.

Montana land in five years. Backwards to first property this year. Into a cash target this quarter.

Then taking action today.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

A $100K earner in sales does not need a more complex investing strategy off the rip.

He needs to first track where every dollar is going:
1. Business.
2. Personal.
3. Taxes.
4. Investing.

Freedom can get engineered from clear numbers.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

High performers love the heroic push.
But it’s the boring weekly cadence that always creates the winners you admire.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

Making $100K in sales and still feeling broke is more common than people think.

The income is real. It’s the structure that’s missing.

If you couldn’t tell me exactly where your money went last month, making more of it probably won't fix your problems.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

More income doesn't fix a broken money system. It just means a bigger leak.

The cash comes in, gets spent, and nothing gets built. So build the system before you chase the next fat commission check.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

Most people aren't bad at real estate. They just never learned the language.

The deals look scary until somebody teaches you what the words actually mean. Then it gets boring, and boring is where the money is.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

A guy that went through our Accelerator has rental income covering 75% of his monthly bills, and he's still in his early twenties.

Once that number hits 100, his job becomes a choice instead of a cage. That's the whole reason you buy assets young.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

66k in a Roth IRA in your early twenties is the kind of quiet win nobody posts about. I may come across as an anti-rother but this is long-term protection as clean as it gets.

But also, go build freedom through skills & network.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

Most people post once, it flops, and they quit. The ones who win treat the first 90 posts as tuition to game.

You're not supposed to be good yet. You're supposed to be collecting data.

Same with sales skill.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

A goal without a deadline is just a dream. Give yourself six months to do your first deal and watch what suddenly becomes possible. Creating a clock does half the work.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

Pick the number that makes your job optional and aim straight at it. For a lot of people that's around 10k a month in passive income.

This is way more motivating than chasing some random net worth goal or promotion.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

18 months into running my sales team, we did $1M while I spent half my time writing my book and setting up Airbnbs.

My own sales staff rented in my house hacks & helped me set up the Airbnbs!

Build the systems first...
Then let it buy your time back.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

Getting rich is only half the game. Plenty of people have the money and still can't take a Tuesday off or work from another country.

Freedom is time and location, not just the number in the account.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

You don't have to run 100 miles an hour.
You just can't take months off the gas.

Every sales leader I've watched fail was talented enough.
They just kept turning the lights off.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

People on podcasts still recommend FHA loans.
I don't know a single person who's used one in past six years...
Banks do first-time buyer loans at 3–5% down with way less red tape.

RIP FHA.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

I stopped building my plan around net worth and started building it around the life I actually want to live on random Tuesdays and week's I want at 34 yrs old.

The numbers are just there to fund that life.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

People pay a premium for a person they trust.

Put your actual face and your actual takes out there and the number you can charge climbs.

[Alex Funk @gek_6]

People fall off for two reasons:
1. They lose the vision.
2. Or they pick up destructive habits.

Almost every time though, the habits showed up right after the vision died.
