Hey friends! I'm back with an inspiring chat with army veteran and real estate entrepreneur Brent Bowers. Brent overcame divorce and financial struggles to build a successful land investing and coaching business. His story shows how mindset is critical - he shifted from feeling like a victim of circumstances to taking ownership and control. Key takeaways: - Brent rebounded from his early real estate failure during the 2008 crash. He joined the military for a "reset" then used veteran benefits to educate himself and rebuild. - He learned the power of personal development through legends like Jim Rohn. This gave him an empowering perspective to persevere through adversity. - Brent is all about taking action. He hustled in basic training, made money overseas, and jumped into house hacking and wholesaling during demanding military schedules. - Land investing was his breakthrough into more passive income. He creates notes by buying discounted land then sells for full retail price on seller financing. - Teamwork is essential. Brent credits his small but mighty team for running the daily operations now. He can focus on higher-level strategy. I appreciated Brent's authenticity and ability to learn from mistakes. Even today, he battles self-doubt but takes action anyway. His resilience delivers consistency. Let me know what you thought! Would you be interested in hearing Brent dive deeper into a topic like land investing or leadership?
