Why does a room like this work? Because it is exactly how Douglas J. Beck built his own business. One introduction changed everything for him, and he built The Growth Collective Mastermind so it happens for members every week.
His first deal did not come from a course. It came from a relationship.
In 2014 Douglas was 6 months in, about $50,000 in debt, with a newborn daughter, a 3-year-old son, a six-figure job at Johnson & Johnson, and a real estate course that was not working. He called his mentor and asked for half his money back.
Doug's mentor asked a few questions and started laughing. "You don't know what you have, Doug." Douglas had 500 investor contacts and people already sending him deals. The advice: partner with a wholesaler who needs a buyer. So Doug called one. A few weeks later, he closed his first deal and made $4,600.
That was August 2014. Douglas closed 6 more by the end of the year, and about 20 the next. Within about 12 months, his part-time deals had tripled his corporate income, all on nights and weekends. On October 16, 2015, Doug walked out of J&J for good.
Then 2020 hit. The company was about to have an almost $150,000 month when COVID shut everything down. Douglas rebuilt it from a local New Jersey business into a 100% virtual, national one, and it came back stronger because of the people around him.
Every turning point in Doug's business came from the right person at the right time. So he built a room full of them, and Douglas sits in it every week.
