Over the last 10 years we've seen a tidal wave of interest in passive investing. 2. Being able to raise capital is the most lucrative and sought after skill in the entire sector.  3. It's not scalable, replicable or lucrative to go around trying to convince people to invest with you. 4. You have to create a lead nurture mechanism that allows you to use the same resources over and over again so that your time isn't required on a one on one basis. This is called the: attract, educate, nurture, close process. This can be done via podcasts, email blasts, YouTube channels, books etc5. Consistency is far more powerful than the channel itself. So pick a medium that you feel comfortable with and something that you're going to be able to do consistently. 6. It's critical that you move the people from your medium to your sales list. 7. Each investor has a specific way of being moved into taking action which can sometimes be broken down into senses. So we want to have our communication available to people in thier favorite medium. 8. The concept of time is so critical because when a deal is available you need to raise the money in a short amount of time. It doesn't matter how much money you can raise, if you can't do it in time you'll lose out to a competitor.   9. Some people believe that by reading sales books they're going to win through rebuttals but what they should be doing is focusing on the attract, educate, nurture, close process.10. Pick a single thing that you're good at and be "that" guy.  BOOKSThe Passive Investing Playbook - https://theinvestormindset.com/passivehttps://www.amazon.com/Raising-Capital-Real-Estate-Credibility/dp/1712882120 LINKShttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hunterthompsoncfc/https://cashflowconnections.com/Learn more about investing with Steven at https://theinvestormindset.com/investJoin the MultiFamilyMBA and get exclusive free training: https://theinvestormindset.com/mfmba
