## Resource

Watch Andrew & Matt On The Ranch: https://youtu.be/KeDTqOWOZEY Andrew Freed sacrificed his goals and vision while working a six-figure W2 job at MIT and Harvard. Recognizing the status quo was a decision, he decided to stop living somebody else's dream. Andrew details his journey of overcoming limiting beliefs, including a massive health transformation, and achieving financial freedom. His story is a powerful lesson that Action with knowledge is power and that the worst-case scenario is often the life you're already living. He currently self-manages 550 rental units and closed on 250 units this year.
