Every year that you don't know how to raise a million bucks

loses you a million dollar deals.

I am a college uneducated Navy Boasins from the Indian kid from New Jersey, grew up with nothing.

Total raise was 2.6 million. We closed it in 28 days.

I raise money because I give people access to deals that they would never have without.

So that's one thing is being super clearly defined

on what is your deal, how much am I going to make, and how fast? My boss are my investors.

Every single day. All right, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome back to another

episode of the Action Academy podcast, corporate America's least favorite podcast. Today, guys, we are saving you the heartache and

the headache that I went through for four years of my professional career. Four years, what I would do

is I would work really hard, save up all my money, and I'd buy a house. And then I'd go work really

hard, let's save up all my money, and I'd buy another house. And then guess what I would do

the next two years? The same thing. I had no idea that you were able to leverage other people's

capital, raise money, do bigger deals. I didn't realize that I had access to all of that from

the very beginning. And so I just didn't know what I didn't know. And so there's this phrase that I love

that's going to encapsulate today's episode, which is every year that you don't know how to make a million bucks costs you a million bucks. And every year that you don't know how to raise a million bucks loses you a million dollar deals. So guys, today I have on my homie, my brother from another mother, Adit Shaw, who is our capital raising coach in Action Academy. And I've directly watched you, dude, help what, like raise 100 million plus, just from across all the people that you've helped in the community. Yeah, definitely at this point. We're, we've got a strong capital raising community and we're raising tons of money and taking down some huge deals. And so not only has he known how to do this and he knows how to teach it, which is what we're going to teach you guys today, he's also done it himself. So Adit, share a little bit about your backstory and kind of, you know, what you've got going on. Yeah, thanks, man. So my name's Adit Shah. I'm a real estate developer from San Diego, California. seven years ago I got out of the military with nothing, so I had zero money, zero relationships,

zero connection, zero skills. from San Diego, California. Seven years ago, I got out of the military with nothing.

So I had zero money, zero relationships, zero connection, zero skills. Zero, zero. Actually, I had a negative net worth. Negative $5,000 was my net worth. And I had this crazy idea that I wanted to be a real estate developer. So I didn't want to be a flipper or wholesaler or agent. I want to be a developer. and I wanted to build Shaw Towers, like Trump Towers, but Shaw Towers. So I took my only marketable skill, which was I was a

handyman so I could fix anything within the four walls of a home and offered that skill for free to

every developer in San Diego. 99 of them told me no. The 100th guy said yes.

My first job with him was moving about 50 boxes of vinyl plank flooring from one garage to another in a single-family home subdivision he was building.

For people that I've never moved, LVP, it's heavy.
