And there was also an added value that I’d never expected. And what you taught me didn’t disappoint. So once I had some success, I joined the group. But I was having success, but I knew I wanted to reach another level with some of the innovative marketing that you’re known for. And why I joined is I was having success before I was aware of your program. My business is called the Verrazano Business Advisors. Name of the business is named after the second most famous bridge in Brooklyn, although I think it’s the most famous, the Verrazano Bridge. So without further ado, I’m going to start Nick’s testimony of what’s been happening and what he thinks of the community and the Blueprint. ![]() You have access to all those opportunities that can allow you to grow and sustain and scale that business. Credit-based financing, collateral based financing, anything that the banks are not really doing. Long term financing, you can provide long term financing. We’re teaching the entire alternative lending industry from providing short term financing to personal financing, real estate backed type of financing, or helping real estate investors get funding. Because Blueprint is not just about learning one product. ![]() So I’m going to share his story.Īnd also, it shows you the power of a niching down. But once you get through those two levels, that kind of sky opens up and you see the sun and then you notice, “All right, what am I going to do? What’s next? Do I just settle where I am, making 15, 20, 30 grand? Or do I take it to the next level? Then if I take it to the next level, what is the next level?” Right? So Nick is a testament to that. Or they might be involved with a failing business. That could be a job, or they might be trying to do this themselves and failing. The second is growth so they can get out of what’s not working right now. So most people, their initial goal is for survival. So it’s really, really important to be able to get yourself in that position if that’s what you want to accomplish. Or you can open yourself to receive investments from bigger firms because they now see that you have a working system, you have the team, you have the staff, you know what you’re doing, you’re offering multiple products. So you can become a partial lender or a syndication model that you’re funding certain businesses based on your criteria. And what’s next? Can I start lending money? Is that a part of the scaling? Absolutely. We have many students that way because sometimes I get the question as to, “Hey, it’s great to be broker. Not only he’s been helping other customers get funding, now his and his company and his partner have built their own firm with employees and there’s funding some of the deals themselves. Then now, fast forward today, he has become a partial lender. And that’s what that first interview of me, him about. Now, he started following this system and he started funding deals. But then he was noticing, “Hey man, I can’t just keep doing this.” And he joined the Blueprint. He was doing his own thing, it was doing okay. But that can’t be your all time strategy, right? You need a system. And things get easier as you go and scale. Right? Because when you think about the rocket ships, they spend most of their energy taking off. When you start something new, it is definitely okay to work really, really hard and hustle and grind to get it off of the ground. And hustling is not a real long term business strategy. The second month, you’re like, “Oh crap, what’s going on? I got to hustle again.” So it becomes a constant grind and hustle. So that you pay the price for that the following month or the following cycle. ![]() But when you’re working on the deals, trying to figure out who the lenders are and what to offer them, then you’re not marketing because you have very limited time. When he first started out, as he mentions in the video, he was already in the industry, but he was kind of struggling to have consistency because there are a lot of brokers who try to do it on their own, but the problem is the financial rollercoaster, right? If you’re relying on hitting the phones all day long and you don’t follow a system, when you’re keeping busy, you might get a couple of deals. So sometimes if they get the questions as to, hey, these testimonials are great, but what has been happening with these members since then? But I wanted to kind of give you a glimpse of his journey. You’re going to see a link to my first interview with him above this video. But I actually did interview him when he first started. So today I wanted to give you a testimonial from one of our veteran students who’ve been in our community for a long time. Hey everyone, Oz Konar here with Business Lending Blueprint.
