Flashback Friday Ep 12 - Exiting The Matrix: Stories of a Corporate America Drop Out

In this Flashback Friday Featured episode, Jerome Myers looks back at the pivotal moment that made him decide to drop out of corporate America and take his agency back through real estate. He breaks down how he overcame the obstacles he faced starting out in multifamily and gain success. He also shares his honest thoughts about not letting things that you can’t change hinder you from reaching your dreams. Jerome Myers (a/k/a "J") is a developer of people and places. He is the founder and Chief Inspiration Officer of two ventures. DreamCatchers is a boutique coaching firm that supports first and second-generation wealth creators to self-actualize and attain transcendence, and The Myers Development Group, where we help ordinary people invest in multifamily real estate in a way that creates generational wealth. Through these entities, he gets to live out his childhood dreams of helping people manifest the things they imagine and he is the evidence that dreams should be real. Since leaving corporate America after building a 20MM division, J has become one of the most sought-after thought leaders in the multifamily development space. His company, The Myers Development Group, built a multi-million-dollar portfolio following the principles of Myers Methods. Although he's often told that he makes investing look easy, the people closest to him know the road wasn't without challenges. So, he created Myers Methods, a real estate education company, to dispel many of the myths related to the industry and educate investors on his 4-step process to owning and operating apartments.   ________________________________ FREE Discovery call for The Microfamily Investing Accelerator  https://calendly.com/noirvest/microfamilymavericks  ________________________________   [00:01 - 19:28] Who is Jerome Myers?

That's how you build your wealth. And then you take that wealth, and then you diversify it across many different investments so that if something catastrophic happens, you don't lose everything.” - Jerome Myers “Every investor is trying to overcome four things, knowledge, deal flow, experience, and capital. And they're overcoming those four challenges in that order every single time.” - Jerome Myers “There is no reason for you not to be able to make your dreams a reality. It's just a mindset thing.” - Jerome Myers   Resource Mentioned: Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant by Robert T. Kiyosaki   Connect with Jerome Myers!
