“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with” is a quote attributed to motivational speaker Jim Rohn. While I don't know if this is absolutely true, I do know there's great benefit to surrounding yourself with kind, successful people.
One such person I'm fortunate to have in my life is my good friend, real estate investor, and business coach, Chaffee-Thanh Nguyen.
Chaffee is the embodiment of the American dream. When he was a kid, his family immigrated to the United States with just the clothes on their backs. They didn't even speak English. But his family worked hard and Chaffee learned to seize the opportunities around him.
Today, he is a successful real estate investor with experience investing in rehabs, assignments, short sales, raw land, community developments, wholesaling, and more. He's also a success coach eager to share his knowledge with other people.
“I know this country is so full of opportunity,” Chaffee told me recently. “Anybody can be successful, regardless of where you live, what ethnicity you are, what religion you practice, or where you were born, you can make it in this country. But you have to take advantage of the opportunities that are available to you.”
According to Chaffee, the key to taking advantage of those opportunities is to have the right mindset. After seeing what he has been able to accomplish in his life, I knew I wanted to have him as a guest on my podcast.
During the interview, Chaffee shared his secrets to having a successful real estate entrepreneur's mindset. Tune in for his secrets.
