Summary Have you ever felt that somebody is in control of your financial freedom or future? Or have you ever had that light bulb moment in your life where you said… "Never again!"? Well, you are not alone, and Gary Hibbert has been through the same difficult times. Gary Hibbert is a fulltime Real Estate investor, licensed (and award winning) Real Estate agent, and educator. In 2008 he purchased his first investment property, and through hard work and dedication left the regimen of the corporate world to become a full-time real estate entrepreneur in 2014. In this episode, learn Gary's story, the things he lacked in the beginning, how he overcame numerous mistakes, and how having the right mindset and learning from other people on the same journey has helped him win and create some serious success in real estate investing.

Listen to experts in the industry, or in your local market. Talk to other real estate investors in your area and do that for about 2-3 months, pick a strategy, then implement it." Key Takeaways: "I would say that my unfair advantage would be I love to jumping in and taking action. And I would say that I'm also very comfortable with making mistakes. And I think people that make mistakes, they think that it's a problem or they're there. They're done in the right path, and then they give up. But the key is when you make those mistakes as obviously to learn from it, and then they continue to keep moving forward." – Gary Hibbert "I think the best thing is the mindset. It doesn't have anything to do with money. It has to do with mindset. There are so many different ways to do it, but it's about writing down your goals, and once you do it, you move forward with that. So, mindset is such a huge thing, and learning from other people that have gone through that journey." – Gary Hibbert
