So let me ask you a question. What does freedom mean to you? When I ask people where they want to get in the multi-family real estate business, the answer I get most often is freedom. Now all of the super successful people I know go after freedom. They don't just go after the money. Now of course the money brings that freedom right now freedom also happens to be the topic of this week's on your power clip.

We have hundreds of students around the country creating freedom for themselves and their lives and their families through multi-family investing. So if you'd like to fast track learning this business, let me suggest a couple of quick things to you. Of course my podcast will help a ton.

But there's a lot more detail that we can get into than than what's on the podcast and that's what I teach at my virtual two day online boot camps. Now we just had over 500 people pay to attend this last weekend and it was absolutely awesome.

It's going to be in August and it's 16 to 18 hours of training with nothing being sold and if you buy your ticket early enough, you can come for about 97 bucks. So it's kind of a no brainer. If you want to check it out, text multi-family to 72345 or go to multi-family virtual bootcamp.com. Again, that's multi-family to 72345 and we'll see you then. All right, let's get to it.

As I said, today we're going to talk about our deep desire for freedom and the incredible power you bring into your life with freedom. So what is freedom? Webster says it's the power or right to act, speak or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.

Now I'll add, it's also the right to live as one wants or one wishes without hindrance or restraint. So we live in the greatest country on earth, often defined as the land of the free and of course the home of the brave.

Now many countless people have lost their lives in this country fighting for freedom. These are heroes that understand that freedom comes with responsibility.

Now I'm going to tell you that I believe freedom is actually a state of mind. I believe that it's actually possible to be free regardless of the circumstances.

Now I'm not going to say it's easy, but it's absolutely doable. Now there's a book called Man's Search for Meaning written by a gentleman named Victor Frankel and Victor was a World War II concentration camp survivor.

And it talks about how he was able to change the meaning of his experience to actually have freedom in that horrific environment.

Now one of his quotes that I love is, when we're no longer able to change a situation, we're challenged to change ourselves, right?

So what are some other definitions of freedom? I believe freedom is when you're able to not live in fear. It's the ability to be yourself.

We find freedom and we have the courage to let go of who society believes we're supposed to be in fully embraced school and what we really are.

It's actually a gift you should give yourself because it's someone no one can take away from you.

Of course, don't expect everyone to understand your journey. That's absolutely fine. It's not theirs, it's yours.

Let me pose a question to you. Do you remember who you were before your environment or the world told you who you should be?

I also don't believe you can be free if you don't allow yourself to make mistakes.
