Eric Hoffer, author and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, once said, In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with the world that no longer exists. In 1971, the rules of money changed, but the way we were taught to invest did not. Go to the new road to wealth.com to learn the new rules of money they are not telling you about. The new road to wealth.com. A faster road to wealth is now open. Get Left Behind.

The New Road to Wealth.com. This is Terrio Media. Broadcasting from Terrio Studios in Glendale, California. It's time for Epic Real Estate Investing with Matt Terrio. Yeah. Hello. Hello, and welcome. Welcome to Epic Real Estate Investing,

the place where I show people how to escape the rat race using real estate. Just shift your focus. That's all you got to do. Shift your focus from making piles of money to making streams of money. And back that up. Back that shift and focus up with action. Do that one thing one time. And you are on your way.

You're on your way to financial freedom, financial independence, just a life of pure joy, whatever you want to call it. Now, it's not the most exciting path, but it is the fastest way to get there. And once you get there, life then becomes exciting. All righty. So as I mentioned last week, if you didn't catch last week's episode, I'll just bring you up to speed. We're on a shortened holiday format of the show. I'm diligently putting the finishing touches on my new book,

version 3.0 of the Epic Pro Academy, and we're really cranking here on my buy-and-hold and wholesaling business for lack of a better word. It's been an epic month. And if the month were to end today, it would still be considered epic. You know, I was hanging out with a buddy earlier this year. Sean Terry, to be exact,

to many of you probably know who he is. He's got a very awesome podcast of his own. And we did a Periscope broadcast together from the Dodger game. He was in town and we went to, with a group of friends, we went to the Dodger game. And he put the camera in my face while he was broadcasting Periscope and he just said, talk. And so I just quickly introduced myself and where I was from and that being Epic real estate. And then I shared what Epic stands for, education, properties, income, and community. And when I finished, Sean said, I didn't know that's what I stood for.

And I don't know, maybe you didn't either. But that's what Epic stands for. Education, of which is important to your real estate investing, ongoing education, properties of which if you don't have any of those, then you aren't really in real estate, right? And then income, of which if you don't have that, you can't really even call us a business, right? It's a hobby. And then there's what I think is the most underrated of the four components. I mean, they're all essential and they can be obtained without community for a while.

But if you're in this business for the long run, there is nothing that will contribute to your long-term success the way that a supportive community can and in a way that a supportive community will. And we have that community inside of the Epic Pro Academy and outside of our private Facebook group. And the activity there is flourishing. like I had never imagined. It's taken on a life of its own. I chime in there all the time, but I can see that I wouldn't have to. Someone posts a question,

and there's already four people have chimed in with an answer. If their answer is correct, then I agree, then I don't even put my input anymore. I was like, okay, well, there you go. There you got it. And, you know, in fact, for those that are looking for another level

of support and accountability in the new year, I'm going to be introducing a new addition to the community of the Epipro Academy, the follow-through crew. And I call it the follow-through crew because, you know, most people simply don't. It's really sad for me and it's sad for my team to see people enroll into the academy,

you know, and they've got these great visions of financial independence and financial freedom, this glorious future that they're about to manifest, to only give up and fall back, into older teens, their old rat, so to speak, to fall back into the rat race. So the follow-through crew, it's open to all. It's open to everybody. Everybody absolutely is welcome.

And especially if you have doubts about whether or not real estate investing is going to work for you or not. That's what it's there for. You know that this year, or the last, yeah, this year I had all those. with one-on-one coaching clients. And I would say a third of them had tremendous success, all of which have quit their job, their day job, or have the option to or are extremely close to doing so. Another third got some really good results.

They're not totally independent yet, but they made some money. They certainly made all their money back for the coaching investment. And they're on their way. And then another third, I just kind of, maybe I just heard from them once or twice, and they just kind of dropped out of all communication. So those people, those that disengaged, that signed up and made a large investment into their future, and at some point life got in the way,

and they went on to do something else. I have no idea. So the follow-through crew was inspired by them. So all of the people that are going to get the results anyway, it's for you to participate in as well because it's going to help you get those results. I proved it this year. It was really extraordinary to watch some of the transformations that came about from the coaching. And that middle group is for you to help you keep going.

I mean, you're moving at a little different pace than those that were more successful. That's okay, but you're still making progress and you just need to stay plugged in. And then those that just kind of disengaged and for one reason or another forgot that this was really important to them. This is for them. It's inspired for them. The follow-through crew. All righty. So to sign up for Early Bird notification of enrollment into the follow-through crew, go to epic earlybird.com. Epic Earlybird.com. All righty. So let's give away some money. It's the week of Christmas and perhaps you could use a few extra ducats. So let's fix that for a lucky couple of people. All righty and we'll do that right after this. There are two steps to wealth.
