Nick Perry is the founder and executive chairman of Want To Sell Now, one of the largest wholesale real estate operations in the country. Since 2014, he's closed over 1,500 deals nationwide by building a completely virtual system—his team analyzes and contracts properties across all 50 states without ever seeing them in person. He was early to leveraging pay-per-click advertising at scale in wholesale real estate, developing systems that consistently generate deal flow in even the most competitive markets. Beyond wholesaling single-family homes, he's expanded into multifamily properties, commercial real estate, a fleet of semi-trucks, and multiple e-commerce ventures.

0:00.0	Being able to do what you want, when you want, with whoever you want for as long as you want, is really what money buys you. When I was young, I didn't come from any money. We had one grocery store trip every two weeks when the food ran out. So I had to work growing up very early. Today's guest is a strategist for wealth, not in theory, but in practice. Nick Perry is an investor coach who guides entrepreneurs and professionals to build scalable portfolios and untether themselves from trading time for money.
0:24.0	When I moved to Austin, Texas, I started YouTubeing how to do real estate, started taking some action, but I failed miserably in my first year of real estate. It took me like 104 appointments before I got my first deal. Sales and marketing are the two highest skill sets that you can have that will get you
0:37.5	paid more than anybody. If you can get good at marketing and sales, then you can start your own business.
0:41.6	The reason 90% of wholesalers fail is they can't get consistent, reliable, high quality marketing
0:47.7	going. They're bouncing from one marketing channel to another and nothing is really working for them.
0:53.0	He teaches the rules of capital, mindset, and multiplicative income.

1:32.2	Nick, tell me what this means to you.
1:38.4	True wealth isn't measured in dollars, but in freedom to live anywhere, work on anything and answer to no one.
1:40.1	Yeah, you know, being able to do what you want, when you want, with whoever you want for as long as you want is really what money buys you.
1:47.8	Nothing in a store is going to give you any sort of fulfillment, right?
1:51.5	This is a $20, Zara.
1:53.6	Sure.
1:54.2	But I just got back from a $200,000 vacation in Europe.
1:58.0	And that $200,000 vacation was worth more to me than anything.
