HFHQ 268: 8 deals per month working 15 hours a week from his phone…

September 3, 2019

About This Episode

Adam Rae just spent a month in the hospital with E coli.

He was “out of the office” the whole time.

All he had was his phone.

And yet his real estate investing business still closed 8 deals that month.

They’ve got $500,000 in the pipeline over the next 90 days.

A month in the hospital didn’t kill their momentum at all.

Everything kept running.

The deals kept closing.

The money kept rolling in.

But it wasn’t always this way…

When Adam first got started, he was working 70 to 80 hours a week.

So what changed?

That’s what we’re digging into on today’s episode of the podcast.

In this interview, Adam breaks down…

…and more.

Let’s dive in!
