“Being resilient is an important part of success.” – Julius Thomas On this episode, Jake and Gino sit with Julius Thomas to talk about how to achieve the highest potential in whatever you choose for yourself. Julius is a former American football athlete and a researcher in psychology. He is the invited guest speaker for the MM5 (Multifamily Mastery 5) event happening on November 5th and 6th this year. “In order to master something and achieve your highest potential you need to immerse in the space. It is not always sunshine and rainbows, you need to make sacrifices and keep doing the same work on repeat mode to attain perfection. Shifting identity is possible but it is not easy. It takes a lot of work and dedication which is the non-glamorous part of the success”- these are the principles Julius lives by and attains holistic success in his endeavors. If you want to make a start in multifamily or anything which is not something your current identity matches with and you are looking to make that big leap to create the difference in life, this episode is for you.
