What The Titanium Fleet Is
SPEAKER_00The titanium fleet for 2026. What's the titanium fleet? RJ, I'm new to your channel. I know we've grown. You might not know what the hell I'm talking about. Well, the titanium fleet is all of the systems that we are going to be using inside of our wholesaling operation moving forward for this year. Now, what I will say is, I do plan on testing out some new systems throughout the year, but you will know that in advance. So the fleet that we're going to be rolling out today are going to be the known systems that we are going to be using. So the lead generation, the comping softwares, the disposition, how do we get our websites, CRMs, all of that will be outlined for you guys. We're also going to give you a little free little PDF that you can download today, give you some homework to walk away with, and hopefully got to steer your ship correctly moving into 2026. Now, why do we do this video every year? This is the third year that we're doing this. It's because of the consistent questions that I get asked from people that want to get into wholesaling, but they're new, and they're like, I don't know what systems I'm supposed to be using. Everybody says something different, and so I really always want to try to simplify things down for you guys and just say, listen, here is a known system that is working for us. Are there other systems that work out there? Absolutely. Okay, we just don't use them inside of our business, and so it's really hard for me to train you and kind of coach you on this is how you use that system if we're not using it. So this allows us to say, this is what we're going to be using inside of our wholesale operation. If you want to just mirror and copy what we're doing inside of our business, use these systems. Then as the year progresses, you can ask me questions in the comments. We do live QA. I'm live every single Tuesday at 2.22 p.m. So you can come on here and you can ask me, hey, I'm struggling with figuring out how to get my leads through this system, or how do I comp and and pull up the correct information using this software? I will answer any and all of those questions. The whole purpose behind me putting out this content is to try to change your life and allow you to create your own reality through wholesaling real estate. And so this is a fundamental element of what we do, and it's also a foundational uh video for you guys to start crafting your business and saying this is what I want my organization to look like. Honestly, what I would say to you guys, just copy what we're doing. If you look at titanium investments and you say, Hey, that's a business that I would want to run. This is a starting point for you guys to say, all right, I'm gonna use these systems, I'm not gonna look elsewhere. This falls in line with one of our core elements, right? Stop searching for unicorns because they don't exist. I will say we are getting closer and closer with AI and technology to having some softwares out there that are unicorns, but these are gonna be the things that we use. And so when I get asked this question right here, hey RJ, how can I get motivated leads? Well, Mana Sumaka, I'm about to show you. Uh, this is the video, baby. This is the one we're gonna show you. It's gonna be inside the titanium fleet. We're gonna show you exactly what systems we are using inside of our business for everything that we do, not just motivated leads, but including motivated leads. Now, what I will say is because this is the third time we're doing it, this is the first time that we've actually made the list smaller. It actually shrank a little bit in comparison to last year's. Last year had a little bit more options. We narrowed it down. We actually kind of eliminated some of the softwares for you guys to choose from. We're trying to make it more simple so it's easier for you guys to know exactly how to copy our business. Uh, Willie, how much is our mentorship? Titanium University is$6,999 for lifetime access. Okay, now that's the that's the one-time option. We do have payment plans. You can split that up into two, three, or four payments. I would say, Willie, if you're interested, book a call with the team, they'll show you everything that comes along with that, and then also what your uh payment arrangements can be. All right, let's get into the titanium fleet. Bring this up for you guys. Get rid of this banner right here. All right, so the titanium fleet, this document that I'm sharing and I'm showing you guys right here, you can download for free. You don't even have to do anything. You just literally click on it and automatically pops up. You can get that at King Closersformula.com slash fleet. It is also the first link down below in the description of the show. So you can download this. I suggest that you do download it because it does have all of the links on there. It's very much appreciated if you use those links. Yes, we do get paid for it from our affiliate partners. All right, so the Titanium Fleet, these are our battle-tested lead gen strategies and tools that we actually use. I will say just this today, we dispo the deal using the dispo softwares that we're gonna show you. We also have a signed contract from the lead generation softwares that we're gonna show you guys, and so that's just today. We I know for a fact we have at minimum have a signed contract and an assigned contract, so these are proven-to-work systems. Now, the reason why we do this is because wholesalers all across the country are confused. I get I was also very confused at one point in time. That's why I'm so passionate about bringing this content because I remember there was a point in time where I did not know where I was supposed to pull my list, I did not know where I was supposed to skip trace. There were so many different dialers, and it was confusing. And I would just literally go from system to system to system, and every time we made those changes, it ended up causing the roller coaster effect inside of our business, where we would stop getting leads and then we would start generating leads, then we would get properties under contract, but it was always a learning curve for the new system, the new software. And then because of that, it ended up causing us to not have predictable results inside of our wholesaling business. And so I want to come on here and I said, Liza, I want to show you the exact methods that we use to generate, motivate, and sell our leads every day, exactly what we do to cop and underwrite our deals, exactly what we use to find our in buyers, understanding where those in buyers buy, and then how do we do transaction coordination? Everything that we do is built inside the titanium fleet. So let's get into it right here. Starting off, number one, lead Zolo. That is a PPL provider, paper lead provider. We use them for inbound motivated seller leads. Those I will say we've been working with lead zolo since 2022. In 2023, the highest volume of closed deals that we had came from lead zolo in 2024, it had a little bit of a dip. In 2025, a massive resurgence. They had some changes in leadership, they brought on Cody Morris, who we've had here on the channel. They they have completely redone how they're generating those leads. They've also gotten a lot more aggressive on their pricing, they have a marketplace that's similar to speed to lead, and lead Zolo, outside of what we're doing inside of Titanium Investments, also has a much larger presence inside of Titanium University now. So lead Zolo is one of the three PPL providers that we're using. You guys, if you've been following for a while, you're probably familiar with these three. The second one is Speed to lead. Okay, speed to lead has the inbound motive band seller leads on a PPL pay-per-lead basis. It also has coupon club leads where you could get those for$29 if you're paying for the$200 a month subscription, as well as they have exclusive leads, they have the active leads, they have the fixed price mode, as well as I think the the name that Speed the Lead has really built for themselves, especially inside of the Titanium University community, is always bringing discounted packages. And you guys probably just saw that over the holidays, where they're they're always bringing, hey, give us$1,500, we put in an extra$500 and bonus bucks, plus we're gonna throw in three, four, five hundred extra leads. They're always bringing that extra value for us as a wholesale community. I just did a breakdown of what leads close, where they close, what types of leads, bringing down their annual report for 2025 is an incredible resource that they gave to all of their customers. And so we've been working with Speed of Lead going all the way back to 2021, really. That's kind of when the company became, but Gene Blenkoff, the founder of Speed of Lead, we were actually working with him before Speed of Lead was even a company, and so they are a critical part of what we do here at Titanium Investments, they're a great partner, and and I believe that they are always striving to improve their product. I think they had over 600 updates and changes to their software in 2025. That's an incredible amount of progress that they're always trying to make, and they listen to us as a customer. I interviewed Gene on my podcast several years ago, and during the podcast interview, I was like, Hey Gene, it would be fantastic if we just had a baseline of what the comps were in the area when we were going to buy the property or buy the lead. It would be fantastic if we knew how many buyers were in the area before we purchased the lead. And he instantly went and made those changes and improvements to their program. And it's just incredible. Speed of lead is the one PBL provider that gives us the option to know basically everything that we need to know before we purchase the lead on the marketplace, so we can know the motivation, we're gonna know the location, how many buyers, the property condition, everything that we would need to know to make that decision. And so for me, speed of lead is just untouchable in that regard. They're always going to be a huge part of what we're doing as long as we're doing PBL here at Titanium Investments. And then last but certainly not least, we have property leads that's also a PPL provider. The thing that I love about property leads is they've always kind of considered themselves like the upper echelon of the lead providers, right? They don't really do a whole lot of discounts, they they really have kind of stood their ground and said, we know that we have a solid quality product, then we're gonna stand on that, but they have become a little bit more accessible for us nationwide wholesalers with bringing in the$30 nationwide exclusive leads, and so you can go on there, and yes, you have to put in a minimum of that. I that they change things all the time. When we signed up, it was a minimum of$1,500. I've heard rumors that they've kind of come down on that. Maybe that was a holiday special, but fifteen hundred dollars, and then that's like your budget to get started, and then you can tell them how many leads you want per day. So you can go to them and say, Hey, I just want to spend$150 a day, or I want to spend$210 a day. Okay, so you're gonna get five or seven leads, and yes, they're going to be all over the country. You're not gonna get to pick the location, you don't get to pick the motivation, but it is an exclusive lead to you, and you're getting it instantly from when it when they fill out the form on their website, and so that is a fantastic option for us nationwide wholesalers because we're getting leads all across the country, but you're gonna get leads in very rural locations as well as some really major markets, and I always use this example of yeah, I mean, I'll get a lead that's in the middle of nowhere, Texas. That's okay because I'll simultaneously get a lead in Phoenix, Arizona or Tampa, Florida. Are they few and far between? Yes, but it does happen, and so because of that, that is a huge part of our business. So for when it comes to lead generation, we are lead solo, speed of lead, and property leads. Now, what I will say is I'm going to test out some other lead providers this year just to give them an opportunity, and then also just to kind of get some feedback because other people are chasing those unicorns, right? Using other PBL providers. I want to speak from a place of knowledge, and so I want to kind of test them out and see what they are in comparison to what we are using inside of our business. But these three are huge pillars inside of the TU community as well as our wholesale operation. I consider them partners, and they have they've been with us for years at this point, and they're a huge part of our success. And so that is what we do for lead generation. Now, moving over, the next system that we use is prop stream. Now we use them mainly for comping properties, but you can also do it for polling lists, verifying seller information, and skip tracing. Now, prop stream is hands down Cassie's favorite comping tool. Okay, that is what all of our comping and underwriting training is based around is using prop stream. We have known prop stream all the way back to the days when it was uh a CD, right? I don't know if you guys remember that or not when you actually had to put the CD into your computer and download it onto your computer, and it was before having MLS access through the entire country, and so we've known PropStream for many years, we believe in the product, and it it serves us as a nationwide wholesaler for exactly what we're needing when it comes to the comp data, right? Like I said, back in the day, would we use that for or pulling lists and skip tracing? Not really, we were mainly using batch leads, but prop stream was always something that we were using for comping and underwriting, and now in 2025, prop stream actually purchased batch, and so that's essentially going to becoming one product. I don't know when that is going to actually take place, but it's inevitable, right? It's kind of like when back in the day ATT purchased singular, right? They kept the little orange singular guy around for about a year and then eventually it went away, and now all of us just know it as ATT. Well, it's the same thing, prop stream is the tool, and it is the tool that we use for comping and underwriting. We suggest everybody uses prop stream if you're going to be nationwide, all right. Next up, our first dispositions tool, which is investor base. Now, like I said earlier, we've already assigned the deal. We assigned the deal in Oklahoma. Actually, it was the deal on the um, I did a live seller call on Watch Me Close This Emotional Seller using property leads. Okay, we just assigned that deal and it's pre-rule in Oklahoma using investor base. Okay, now this is our our initial go-to uh for dispositions today. My team really likes it. Danny Herman, when he came over, he had not used investor lift previously, he was very much from the school of investor base. He he had he couldn't afford investor lift back in the day before he joined us, so he kind of came over and was like, Hey, investor base is what I'm using, and it's what I'm used to using, and it's how I really build my relationships with my end buyers. And so Cassie did a live a few months ago with the the founders of Investor Base, they came out to Element 22, really supported the community, and it's a fantastic product. And I think you're starting to see more and more wholesalers transition over to using investor base as an affordable option for dispositions. The tool is so fantastic in the fact that like you guys that are newer to wholesale, you just don't understand the value that you have in some of these softwares today. That tool is so valuable in the aspect of knowing exactly where in buyers are buying, what they're buying for, and to have their contact information. Whereas four, five, six years ago, that was not possible. We did not have that available to us, and so to be able to get a lead through lead solo, property leads, or speed a lead, know that they need to sell the property. We're not asking them, we do, but it's kind of a simple like, have you already sold the property yet? We're just saying, you know, are you still looking to sell? Yes. Now we understand that they want to sell, and then we're knowing that we have in buyers and who those buyers are. Previously, before any of this existed, being a nationwide virtual wholesaler was a pipe dream. It was almost impossible because you were having to pull lists, skip trace, cold call in buyers, beg and plead for sellers to be interested in wanting to sell your property. And so, investor base, along with PropStream having MLS access across the country and those three PBL providers is just it's the key. It's the key to everything that we do. Moving over, the last one on the first page here is our CRM. Now, I used to give you guys a hard time because y'all always wanted to ask me what CRM are you using inside of your business? And we've had we've gone through our custom business. Built podios. We've had beast mode. We had uh what was it? Investor. I want to I wanted to call it investor base, but it wasn't investor plug. No, it wasn't investor boy. That's Kylong. Anyways, we've had so many different CRMs out there, okay. Sharad, the owner of Re Simply, was in a mastermind called Investor Fuel with us back in 2017-2018. Okay, and I remember when he started building ReSimply, and I remember kind of laughing about it where it was like, why is this guy a wholesaler or a real estate investor? And now he's trying to build this CRM. There's so many CRMs that exist out there. Now, here we are eight years later, and Re Simply, in my opinion, is one of the best pre-built-out, ready-to-go CRMs for you. Now, could you go out there and invest the time to build out your own go high level or or build out or purchase one of these pre-built-out go high level CRMs? You could personally for me, I see absolutely zero value in that. I've yet to come across anyone in Tu that's done it that's really shown me how they like revolutionized their business. Some of it's been like cost saving on some of the text messages and emails and whatnot. But realistically, it's majority of entrepreneurs are not good at building out their own systems and softwares. And so for us, we've spent all this time trying to work around different CRMs and making one work. Re-Sembly works for our wholesale operation, and that's the important thing about it. I'm not relying on re-sembly, I really ignore the majority of the bells and whistles that come along with it, like AI appointment setting and the drippy drips and all this stuff. Really, it's I just need something to house and manage my leads and have statuses and note-taking, and that's absolutely what Re Simply does for us. I think they have some of the best customer service in the industry. It's pretty much they're on call, they'll hop on a Zoom call for you. They'll really they also listen to us, which is extremely powerful because we get so much feedback from the TU community that we could take that back to Reassembly and ask them to make adjustments to the software, and they will do that very similar to how Lead Zolo, Speed Elite, and Property Leads have listened to the feedback from the TU community. All right, moving on to the next page. Next up, we have Privy. Now, Privy, we use that for comping properties, and you can also use it for finding buyers. Okay. Now, you guys are probably confused because you're like, RG, you just told me to use PropStream. Now, here's the thing: I like having two comping softwares because we are nationwide, and there are definitely going to be times where in a rural location, I need to have multiple options to be able to get as much data as possible. And as fantastic as PropStream is across the country, there's times where I need to see different data, and privy gives us to it, gives that to me. Okay, I'm really the only one here at Titanium that uses Privy. I'm not gonna lie. Everyone else is as draped the Cassie Kool-Aid, and they're pretty much all in on PropStream. I really do like the UI, the user interface on Privy. I like the Pinterest aspect of it. It really reminds me of going all the way back to the 2020 50-50-50 with Propelio. The user interface is very similar to that. I like the way it looks more than PropStream. However, I couldn't run my business without PropStream. I really need that for the legal descriptions, the mortgage information, the transaction history, whereas Privy kind of lacks in some of that information. It's just more strictly a comping software. And also, if you needed an affordable comping software that also comes along with a potential dispo aspect on finding buyers, privy does give that to you. At the end of the day, if you're going to ask me which one you should purchase, it should be prop stream over Privy. Privy should just really be kind of an added bonus if you're trying to mirror what we're doing inside of our wholesale operation. Moving over, carrot. Carrot is for website creation, landing pages for PPC, and also SEO purposes. We've known Carrot, we've been using Carrot since 2014 when we got started. It was the first system that I ever signed up with. I think Trevor Mock, the owner and founder of Carrot, is an incredible human being. He's he's just one of the most brilliant men that I've ever spent time with. And Carrot is kind of a they own market share in the wholesaling world. Pretty much, if you go to any market in the United States and you say, need to sell my house fast, whatever city you want, you're probably gonna find the first several websites are going to be Carrot websites. And so if you really want to get into trying to establish yourself in a local market and build your brand and have a website, yes, do you get websites through re-assembly? Can you get it through investor lift? Absolutely. Can you go build it yourself? Sure. Carrot does give you that option, and there's plenty of people out there that really kind of want to dominate their local markets. Jamie LeBlanc, who's been with Tu and Titanium for many, many years, has dedicated a lot of time to building up his carrot sites, and because of that, he's able to generate local leads that far exceeds anything that he would have built on his own. The testimony for me on that regard is we have built carrot sites throughout the United States, and I have owned houses and created a significant amount of equity for myself in Alaska and Hawaii and Ohio and Mississippi through using carrot sites in local markets where it kind of lacked competition, and so it is powerful, especially if you have specific markets that you want to kind of try to own. Moving on, easy REI closings. This is what we use for transaction coordination. We are using them inside of our business, we use them for all of our transactions. They are fantastic because are they perfect? No. Transaction coordination is tricky, and there's a lot of moving pieces that come along with it. Does it completely remove you from transaction coordination? No, it does not. You still have to be involved, you still have to communicate, but it's a new team member that you're adding to your team, and it's someone that has dedicated their career to being great at transaction coordination. Along with that, the leadership team of easy REI closings with David Olds, Hannah Wharton are fantastic people, and they're great to work with, and they truly care about this industry as well as your wholesale operation. And so, with our experience with working with them already, we've gone to them with feedback, things that we would like to want to change on how we interact and how we communicate with our transaction coordinator, and they have always been willing to sit down and listen and work with us. And so we always suggest that you should work with a transaction coordinator. They've also listened to our feedback on how pricey they were, and now they've added different options where you can pay at closing and you can also have more affordable for a lower volume of deals as a newer wholesale. All right, moving over, investor boots. What do we use them for? We use them for being boots on the ground, pictures. If you need someone to stop by the property, if you need a lockbox, you need a wellness check on a seller that has just ghosted you. Investor boots is the option. We use them inside of our business. Do I recommend you using them on every single one of your deals? No, you would just be wasting money. Get pictures from the seller, get send a buyer out there to take pictures. You don't always have to use them, they're kind of an emergency option for you when you can't get pictures any other way or get a lockbox on the property. But it's good to have them in your back pocket, have an account ready to go. You don't want to wait until, oh my god, I got to get pictures taken. Had that kind of ready and ready to go. And also test it out. Like understand how their process works, but we have never run into any issues with investor boots. We did early on have a couple of TU members have issues with when they were pumping volume towards investor boots, and then immediately Stephen Cohen, the the owner of the company, stepped in, rectified that, has made changes to the program. They've been fantastic to work with. All right. Next up, we have funding grow. What do we use them for? Well, this is for your opportunity to have capital. If you are in a position where maybe you're strapped for cash or you need some money to afford some of these systems, funding Grow is an opportunity for you to work with them where they can fix your credit score or go out and get you zero percent interest credit cards on for a business, meaning that it's not going to be like a zero percent credit card that you could go get for yourself, or maybe you get like a$3,000 or$5,000 limit, or maybe even a little bit higher. They can go out and they can go get you a zero percent interest credit card for a hundred thousand dollars or two hundred thousand dollars, depending upon the size of business that you want. So this really gives you an opportunity to have kind of a stress-free start to your business, especially if you're needing capital for leads or systems or maybe even transaction coordination, whatever it looks like, funding growth is an option. We've had several people come in and use them and really kind of spearhead the start of their business. So that's an option for you to go out and get some operating capital. And last but certainly not least, we have investor lift. We use them for dispositions. Like I said, we've got to move more into the position of using investor base, but investor lift is still an extremely powerful tool from the AI that they're adding to it to the your ability to send deals and know the end buyers across Artemis mode, it's still fantastic. So I don't frown upon investor lift, it's just I kind of want to steer people more towards investor base in the aspect of it's affordable, more people are going to be able to use it. You can absolutely move your deals just like you can move them through investor lift. Is just more expensive, a little bit not as easily attainable to all of the wholesalers out there, which makes sense. They actually uh they do that intentionally, so that's their purpose behind it. Um let's see this. So, how does funding grow work if you need money up front? So they kind of charge you um, I think it's like$1,200 or$1,300 for their their credit improvement program. Um, and then outside of that, then they charge you for going out and getting you the credit card. So you can check out their website. Um, what are the requirements? The requirements essentially are if you don't have good enough credit, then go through the credit improvement program. If you have a high enough credit score, then it's just you could go straight towards hiring them and then they go out and get you the credit. I have a podcast interview with Amanda Webster that you can go watch from Fund and Grow. She's not with them anymore, but she was. She moved on. She's she was the COO, she took a different position at a different company. Um, but you can go watch that or just book a call with the fund and grow team, and they'll kind of walk you through that. All right, so those are all the systems that we're gonna be using inside of our wholesale operation in 2026. So lead generation, lead solo, speed to lead, property leads, company underwriting, prop stream, privy, dispositions, investor base, investor lift, CRM, resembly, websites, carrot, transaction coordination, easy REI closings, boots on the ground, investor boots, money, funding grow. There you go. That's it. It's as simple as that. There's nothing hidden from you guys, there's no other systems. Okay. Now let's talk about what I want you guys to do moving forward. Now that I've kind of lined out what we're doing inside of our business, okay. This is the homework. So you can get that PDF at kingclosersformula.com slash fleet. It's the first link down below in the description of this video. Okay, so you can click that, get this. Now, this is the important part because we're moving into a new year, and what I've seen where wholesalers struggle is that they sign up for a system and they say RJ sold me on using lead solo. He said lead zolo is improved. Cody Morris got hired. I'm gonna sign up for it, and then it's like after 10-15 leads, you give up on it, and it's like, well, so and so said that real estate bees is really good, and so and so said their cold callers are fantastic, and Jerry Norton's got dollar 69 leads. Let's go buy those, and we're just constantly hopping around. So, first and foremost, I want you to fill this out. Why are you doing this? Why do you want to grow your wholesaling business? What motivates you? What are your goals and aspirations? And starting with why allows you to stick to the hard tasks and commitments even when you don't want to. So everybody kind of fluffs this off, but it's what is the reason why you're trying to accomplish your goals in a wholesaling business? I know my purpose, I know what I'm trying to do. But I want you to write this down first because everything after this kind of starts that's like starting your math on a wholesale deal. That's your ARV. Why are you doing this? Okay. Next up, what is your hedgehog concept? I've said it a thousand times on here. If you don't know what a hedgehog concept is, you can click that link right there and it'll take you to a video. But it's basically what is the one sentence where you can describe to a stranger what your wholesaling or what your business does in general. Mine is I am a nationwide virtual wholesaler. That is my hedgehog concept. So I want you to define that for your business. Next up, moving into the system side of things, what is your marketing budget? How much are you willing to invest to grow your business every single month? Now, this is where some people get lost. And honestly, I don't love having a marketing budget. We don't have one here at Titanium Investments. We are very fluid with how much we're spending based off of the results that we're receiving, not necessarily sign contracts and close and funded deals based off of leads coming in, how many leads move to sign contracts, how many leads move to dead? Now we need to replace those. But I I want to go ahead and say, let's do it old school for you guys. What is your marketing budget? Okay. Next up, number four, what tools am I committing to using for 90 days? At the end of the day, you can have success with whatever tools you choose. However, the important thing is you commit to them, take consistent action every day and give the tools a chance to work. If you do not commit to a system for a minimum of 90 days, you have no idea whether or not that system works or not. So I want to know out of this list right here that we just gave, which ships are you deciding that you are going to use moving forward in 2026? It could be as simple as I'm going to use speed of lead, prop stream, investor base, and resembling. Fantastic. Now commit to that and go get signed up and take consistent action every single day. Now, number five is why did I choose those ships? Why are you using that? In a few sentences, explain why you choose these strategies, these systems. It's important to choose them based off of what you're trying to accomplish. This is why I want to know what is your hedge on concept? What are you trying to accomplish inside of your business? Why are you making this commitment to these systems? Next up, what daily actions are you committed to in order to make this work? Is it I'm going to call sellers five hours a day, I'm going to watch a video, I'm going to train myself, and then I'm going to call sellers. I'm going to do this many hours calling buyers. What are the actions that you are going to take? Make a plan for yourself because otherwise you are going to be lost in the weeds. That's probably why you're watching a YouTube video at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. Now, maybe this is just your free time and you're available. But honestly, if I weren't doing this video, I would be inside of my business doing some sort of revenue generating activity. Last up, what will you do when you run into hurdles? Building a business is hard and roadblocks are inevitable. So, what can you do to overcome roadblocks and keep your head in the game? You have to know that things are not going to go perfect at all times. So prepare yourself. Understand what you are going to do when the bad things happen. This was an entire hour and a half long presentation at Titanium University's live event, Element 22. Cassie got up and gave one of the most emotional speeches I've ever seen given, where she shared how her father passed away last year and how impactful that was to her and her life. But guess what else? Business. Business continues to go on. Bills continue to need to be paid. People that are relying on her still were relying on her. So what's going to happen when Roblox come up? How are you going to prepare yourself? Have that conversation right here before it happens. Because by God, when the roadblock comes up, when the bad thing happens in your life, you're not going to be able to mentally and emotionally handle that situation. If you hadn't already thought about it. So this is your homework. And what I want you to do is sign it right below that box. Put your autograph on there and actually make a commitment moving into 2026. This isn't like one of those new year resolutions where you say, hey, I'm going to go lose some weight or I'm going to go make a million dollars this year wholesaling. No, this is an actual plan. Why are you doing this? What are you doing? What is your hedgehog concept? What's your budget? What tools are you going to use for a minimum of 90 days? Why did you choose those tools? What actions are you going to take? And what will you do when a roadblock happens? What will you do when something bad happens? Sign your name and actually make a commitment to your wholesaling business. So that is the 2026 titanium vault. Like I said, you can pick that up at King Closersformula.com slash fleet. You don't even have to fill anything out. Click on it. I really look forward to seeing some of you guys fill out that homework. And then later this year come on here and tell me about how your business and your life has changed from one watching this video and actually make a commitment to yourself and your business and what you were going to do. The one of the top things that kills new wholesalers is jumping from ship to ship to ship. I'm going to use prop stream. I'm going to use prop wire. I'm going to go use privy. I'm going to do cold calling. And now I'm going to go buy Jerry Norton's cold call leads. And now I'm going to try PPL. And oh, that's expensive. Well, now I'm going to go back to cold calling. This is what hurts new wholesalers. It's why I do this video to start each and every year to say, here's what I'm doing. Copy it. Now make a commitment and put it in writing. Make a commitment to yourself. I'm not going to ask you to send that commitment to me. It's a commitment to yourself. So hold yourself accountable and don't let yourself down and actually go out and create your own reality in 2026. That's what I got for you today, guys. Hope you enjoyed it. If you did, show me some love. Like the video. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
