video a lot of people a lot of people

they just they can't hang they can't

hang let's just be honest we see people

give up all the time to be honest yeah

we we we we see people give up all the

time you can't hang and that's okay it's

it's it's very difficult and I think

it's not for everybody but if you're

listening to this and it's like I can

hang I can do it I can I can persist I

can break through this video is for you

and if you're not here yet maybe come

back in a year might be for you but the

power of persistence a lot of this is

this is you see us now and we're we're

doing great things and we'll do we're

kind of doing big things we're doing big

things and we're planning to do bigger

things in the future uh we didn't get

here today we didn't end up here painful

it was brutal be the first to tell you

it was absolutely bloody like sometimes

we had every C every dollar we had on

hand we put it all into the business

like not most of it not 80% 100% all of

it yeah so so a lot of times I mean

2:00: Discussing the ups and downs in business, including investing all available capital and dealing with failures.

business was like this and it sometimes

it got kind of scary you get them

butterflies like dude are you sure we're

making the right move like let's go all

in so if you if you if you feel like you

were in that position maybe right now

we've been there everybody that's that's

been successful they've been there I

guarantee it gu everybody that you know

some of some of your favorite gurus are

out of capital right now period and

they're always sourcing new capital and

they go we go through it multiple times

in our cycle you've been he he's been an

entrepreneur for 17 years now 20ish plus

years 20 20 plus years how many times

have you hit bottom 100 100 times I've

hit bottoms probably like three to five

of times it it hurts don't worry it gets

worse now I'm just kidding I I think I

think you got lucky when you put that

high mind thing together because now

you're looking like a hockey stick so

you might not see too many of those

anymore but but you here's the thing you

only need one right you only got to be

right once you only got to be right once

you don't have to be right every time

and I think a lot of people and this is

the power of persistence a lot of people

they take L's we get punched in the face

we we call me and I they call get

punched in the face are you okay getting

punched in the face once a week once a

month I would say once a year yeah for

sure you got to get used to getting beat

up so think about this right if if

you're going to start a business if

you're going to do anything important

even a marriage right you got to wake up

every day you got to give you got to

compliment you got to try you got you

got to wait every day is a brand new day

things didn't go so well maybe you had a

little spat you got to try again the

next day you got to start again so

anything important you're going to have

to continuously pour time and energy

into until you're dead right it's not

like Hey by the time we reach 50 we're

not going you know what I mean like

you're just going to keep continuing to

be to persistent so in business

especially right and especially in the

land business I think man I think we

have a little bit more trouble right as

a new person getting started because

4:20: Emphasizing the difficulty of starting from zero and the analogy of first gear in a manual transmission to illustrate the effort required to get moving.

it's such a slow game right bigger

bigger gains long longer windows and

people do give up man they crap out they

run out of capital they run out of

energy they run out of confidence get

tired of beating up by their spouse and

then they boom they disappear until the

ethers we never see them again right but

if you have that person that's willing

to persevere I'd much rather have

somebody on the team that's been to

prison that's grew up super poor I'd

rather have somebody that's had that's

known struggle and pain at a very very

high level because that kind of tells us

that this person is going to be

resilient they're going to be able to

push through to make it easy if

somebody's like well school they're

already a successful investor now they

want to transition to land normally

doesn't happen yeah they're they're kind

of capped out because they've had it

easy and they they don't have what it

takes to go to the next level or even

strive to make it past that zero point

and I think everybody's like starting

from zero is the hardest yeah starting

from zero is the hardest I drive manual

manual transm I drive manual trucks and

I was Shing Anthony about this the

strongest car the strongest gear in a

motor is your first gear cuz you

literally have to stop something that's

sitting in place to get

motion and yeah literally yeah so like

when I used to drive $80,000 80,000 lb

trucks if you didn't know I used to be a

truck driver first gear when I was Heavy

I always had to start a first gear when

I was light I was starting third or

fourth gear and if you're a truck driver

you

know but when you're heavy you have to

start at first gear second third fourth

you can't skip a gear you can't do

anything because you have to follow the

steps to get to momentum to where your

gears are are are they become easier and

you go faster but you have to that first

gear is the hardest man especially

Feathering the clutch when you're on a

hill first gear man ooh I remember when

I first start when I first learned how

to drive you I stalled out on a

hill I'm like ah they never moving I'm

never moving so it's it's it's starting

from from zero is the hardest and if you

started from zero you know that's 100% a

fact but you got to be persistent like a

lot of people start from zero you have

to be persistent to get to wherever you

want to be like it's it's going to take

effort it's going to take a lot of pain

it's going to take tears it's going to

6:00: Highlighting the need for resilience, with personal anecdotes about overcoming financial struggles and avoiding bankruptcy.

take strain on your relationships it's

going to strain on your relationship

with your kids it's going to do a lot of

things you don't like and doesn't feel

nice yep and and also not everybody

wants to live like that or has to live

like that yeah you don't have to live

like that not saying you maybe

somebody's happy just making an extra100

bands a year and it makes them super

super happy right absolutely in the land

game luckily we could make it like in a

whole selfie but you know if you if you

if you do have lofty goals and you have

a lot of ground to make up maybe you're

a little bit older and you lost a lot of

time in your life and you say hey I need

to make a significant amount of capital

in a very short amount of time then the

land game is a pretty good way to make

up for lost time so that's something

that we think about all the time but if

you are going to persevere and you are

going to push through and you are going

to overcome those mountains you will be

able to make several years worth of

capital like in a single transaction a

single text message said a single phone

call and I think that's something that's

really rewarding but if you don't push

through if you don't have the resilience

to push through you're never going to be

able to experience that yeah and like I

said you got you got to you got to come

back you get knocked down you got to

stand back up you got to and I I said I

hope most motivates you a lot of I

talked to a lot of people that been

through this they've all been through

this a lot of them so you're not alone

if you need somebody to talk to there's

someone there's always somebody here

that's willing to help help you through

this people that go through this

sometimes they go through bouts of

depression and suicidal thoughts and

because of the pain and bankruptcy and

all these different things that happen I

like I said we're at an event right now

one of the guys said he thought about

bankruptcy he thought about fining bankr

bankruptcy twice like he went talked to

the bankruptcy attorney and he's at that

point to file bankruptcy and he said no

I'm not going to do that it's not what I

want to do so there's a lot of things

that you have to hey I'm going to get

out of this I'm going to find a way

right being persistent man so I think

7:30: Suggesting physical exercise as a way to build mental persistence and resilience, explaining how pushing oneself physically can translate to better handling of business challenges.

that uh if you don't have if you want to

build up your persistence muscle my

recommendation is for somebody to do

physical exercise oh yeah whether it's

walking you know squats CrossFit jump

rope trampoline anything where you move

your body and you push yourself very

very hard what my goal is not to have

big muscles my goal is for somebody to

be panting like you need to be

completely out of breath and if you get

used to pushing your body to the that

extreme often once to three times per

week then it starts to build up that

something inside of you that's like hey

I'm not going to settle for what's ever

happening in my I'm going to push

through to the next level and I think

painful but I can get through it you can

you can make yourself you can practice

the art of being persistent and

persevering and pushing through

difficult things through physical

exercise now as a personality trait when

you run into a challenging you know

business struggle you could say oh oh

I've been here before I feel stressed I

feel like this is going to be

challenging but I'm going to go ahead

and push through like I do three times a

week and this is the reason why why

athletes and military people are really

great entrepreneurs they they pushed

themselves to the Limit they felt the

pain and they know what it takes yep to

succeed so if you find yourself

I have been an entrepreneur since 2018. I come from a regular home just like most people. My dad worked on the roads in the Chicago area for over 30 years. He always taught me to work with my brain, instead of my body. Your body can only take so much abuse. I learned so much from my father. He always pushed me to work smarter and not harder.

I have owned and operated a trucking business for 2 years. I started learning real estate in 2019. Fell into the Data & Skiptracing business in 2020. My partner Anthony & I started Hivemind in 2021.

I have done a ton of different jobs coming up from painting, to door-to-door sales, telemarketing, truck driving, and loading trailers. What I learned most is that I want to stay in the digital business space. The leverage you can have delivering digital products to the marketplace can yield limitless possibilites.

I started The List Guys in 2020. It is a data and skiptracing service. We provide seller and buyers list nationwide. My clients have been getting great results and I am proud to help people killing it.

I started the Hive in 2021 with my partner Anthony Gaona. It is a real estate and business mastermind. It also comes with a all in one CRM, that can host unlimited websites and users.

Starting the Hivemind has been an amazing journey so far. Seeing one of our users make his 6 figure month in June 2021 leveraging our software, I know there will be plenty more to come!

Hi! I am Anthony Gaona.
I’ve been in digital marketing for almost 15 years.I grew up in construction working for my dad when I was only 12 years old. Normally we had a ton of work or no work at all so a lot of my free time was spent learning how to generate leads.

It didn’t take very long for me to master online marketing because I became absolutely obsessed with it. For the last 15 years I’ve been generating construction based leads. At first I was running the projects myself. This led to sub-contracting all of the excess projects and eventually wholesaling the leads off to other construction companies.

One day I was preparing to build a single family residence for myself. In mid December, 2018, a simple YouTube search led me to the term wholesaling and the rest is history. The plan was to use my construction background to start flipping houses. By January 1st of 2019 I launched several marketing campaigns both on and offline for real estate seller leads.

Within about 4-5 weeks I had my first real estate contract locked up. It didn’t take long for me get a land lead where I made almost a full year’s pay on a single transaction. This came from a land lead and that forever changed my life.

I ran low volume larger land deals for the first two years of my real estate career. Like anyone who has been in real estate investing for an extended period of time, I started thinking about scaling my business.

Instead of deciding to vertically integrated and start hiring I imagined a model where I would teach my real estate investing method… Read More
