Fake news like always. The high achievers need to work with other high achievers to be productive. This happens naturally in the free market and real world (FANG).
Did 10 years at 4-6 companies, from startups to big co. Felt like most coworkers were big pussies who couldn’t even change their own car oil. Their time is just so valuable. I was always handy, did all my own auto/home repairs, etc. so took the leap and started buying distressed properties as-is in “bad” neighborhoods. Learned a lot about evicting squatters, keeping homeless and druggies from trespassing and loitering, fixing roofs, replacing leaky cast iron plumbing, repairing refrigerators and stoves, fishing romex up 3 floors, renting to millennials, gentrifying a street, etc.
It’s because most “gurus” don’t actually own and manage properties. The only way I can make a double digit cap rate in the hood is by doing all the maintenance and labor myself.
