Why corporate professionals struggle with apartment investing
Hey there,
I stumbled across a fascinating Harvard Business School study recently that completely changed how I look at apartment investing.
They call it "The Competence Trap."
Here's what they found...
The more successful you are in your corporate career, the more you're actually REWARDED for detailed analysis and careful decision-making.
Every promotion... every raise... every pat on the back... it all reinforces one thing:
Being thorough and analytical is the path to success.
But here's where it gets interesting...
This "analytical superpower" - the very thing that makes you successful in corporate America - actually becomes your biggest LIABILITY when it comes to apartment investing.
The researchers discovered that corporate professionals with the highest analytical abilities were often the LEAST likely to succeed as entrepreneurs.
Not because they weren't smart enough...
But because their finely-tuned "corporate success instincts" were actually working AGAINST them.
Sound familiar?
If you've been analyzing deals but not taking action...
If you've watched less qualified people build massive portfolios while you stay stuck...
If you're tired of having all the knowledge but none of the deals...
Then I'd like to invite you to a special training I'm hosting:
The 'Golden Handcuffs' Escape Hatch - How 'Over-Qualified' Corporate Professionals Are Finally Building 8-Figure Apartment Portfolios Without Risking Their Life Savings
In this training, I'll show you:
Why your analytical mind is both your greatest asset AND your biggest obstacle
How to flip the script and make your corporate background work FOR you
The 5 specific "Action Triggers" that bypass your analytical resistance
And how to access our 100M in committed capital for YOUR deals
Spots are limited to ensure I can answer everyone's questions.
Talk Soon,
Dave Seymour
P.S. On this training, I'll also introduce you to Michael, a former VP who spent 2 years analyzing deals without making any offers.
Using the Activation Framework, he closed three properties in 90 days and now controls a 43M portfolio.
If you're tired of watching others succeed while you stay stuck in analysis, this is for you.
