I play Monopoly for a living. Off the board, I help people exchange the false for the true and live their true identity.

Great prompt to journal every now and then: If I lived the next 90 days fully aligned with my true identity, what would my life start to look and feel like?

[Jonathan Smith 🛠️ @meetjonsmith]

🧠 One of the best questions to journal—again and again:

“If I lived the next 90 days fully aligned with my true God-given identity, what would my life look and feel like?"

Events that will change a man’s life:

1. When their “false self” fails.
2. When they bury a child.
3. When loss strips away illusion.
4. When control no longer works.
5. When he realizes he can’t save himself.

This is what we were made for. Don’t let your struggles blind you to someone else’s breakthrough. If you do, you’ll miss your own.

Keep your eyes open. Stay present. Someone out there needs what you carry, and when you give it, you’ll realize—you needed it too.

One word at the right time can change everything.

Everyone wants greatness, but the training is brutal.

We learn forgiveness through betrayal.

Perseverance through exhaustion.

Wisdom through failure.

Timing through painful delays.

And just before someone gives up, you cross their path. Maybe only for a moment. A quick smile, a kind word—seemingly small, but to them, it could be everything.

[Jonathan Smith 🛠️ @meetjonsmith]

The deepest lessons I've learned about God, myself, life and grace have all come as a result of my failures, not my successes. When it comes to the things that matter most, success is far more dangerous and far less fruitful than failure.

But faith in God produces the fruit of the Spirit which includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness and self-control.

In the world seeing is believing, yet in the kingdom believing is seeing

Faith isn’t the absence of facts but the presence of conviction

[Jonathan Smith 🛠️ @meetjonsmith]

If we don’t invest our faith in the infinite one we invest it in finite solutions or fear resolutions

Fear is faith in the wrong god.

Fear is the expectation of a negative outcome, the dread of something going wrong, the sense of being out of control

@fitwithrashid Hey Rashid. Love this man! Can I buy this template from you? If so, where can I complete the transaction online?

On the contrary, they call me because they believe our quality is second-to-none, integrity beyond reproach, and professionalism is unmatched.

And they are willing pay a premium.

Competing solely on price? That's a race to the bottom. And perhaps insolvency.

[Jonathan Smith 🛠️ @meetjonsmith]

For my clients, price is rarely the most important factor when making a decision.

My clients don't call me because they believe I am the cheapest.

That is a mantle I will gladly let one of my competitors wear.

We live in a time when most education is obsolete, 99% of the needed knowledge is available for free, and the rest is just pure hustle and grit.

Save capital, hunt for great deals, and just take consistent action. That’s the only requirement.

[Jonathan Smith 🛠️ @meetjonsmith]

The craziest thing in real estate is seeing so many who never attend college and still make millions. That’s a sign that formal education is not a requirement.

[Jonathan Smith 🛠️ @meetjonsmith]

Creative ways to invest in RE if you don't have enough capital.

- House hack w/low downpayment loan
- FHA or 203K, VA or USDA Loans
- Partner up with others
- Seller financing
- HELOC
- BRRRR strategy
- Hard money
- Other people's money

There's always a way.

[Jonathan Smith 🛠️ @meetjonsmith]

If I could rewind the clock, I'd prioritize seeking other like-minded/like-hearted people much earlier. Most people underestimate how influential their tribe is on their thinking.
