About this episode
Today, Matt and Garrett welcome a very special guest, one of those Ninjas who just really crushes it year in and year out, Dave Pepin, of United Real Estate in Sioux City, Iowa. Dave has been one of Garrett's clients for a little over 6 years now, and he is a model of the power of committing fully to the Ninja system. He is truly the 'poster child' for the concept of consistency, and he is here today to describe precisely how applying this quality has changed his life. He begins by sharing his journey to the world of real estate, his business both before and after adopting the Ninja model, and a summary of his business over the past two years. He then discusses exactly how he carries out this business, the systems that have been so successful for him, the importance of his time with his family, and the notion of repurposing funds to align with his work philosophy. Dave concludes today's episode by offering his valuable advice to all listeners. If ever there was proof that by working the system, the system will work for you, Dave is most definitely it, and his story of enormous success in business and in life which he shares today will undoubtedly inspire you to make sure you consistently do the same.
