Dan Martell - The ONLY Thing I Invest In

00:00:00.000 When I look at the unicorn billion dollar outcomes

00:00:02.900 that I've had, like the intercoms,

00:00:04.320 there's no pattern that I can actually look at

00:00:06.600 at the beginning other than the person.

00:00:08.800 I did two deals last week and it's 100%.

00:00:11.020 I've distilled it into one simple thing, people.

00:00:13.440 If I read through the text message like,

00:00:14.880 hey man, I'm starting a new company

00:00:16.080 with my previous co-founder, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:00:18.060 We're doing a small friends and family.

00:00:19.460 I'm in.

00:00:20.020 Oh, cool.

00:00:20.820 We're capping in at 25K.

00:00:22.600 How much do you want?

00:00:23.880 25K.

00:00:24.460 Cool.

00:00:24.920 I'll send the paper.

00:00:25.880 Thanks.

00:00:26.480 That was the text message.

00:00:27.760 Why?

00:00:28.300 The person.

00:00:28.760 So at the end of the day, I have to look at the person in the eyes and ask myself,

00:00:32.860 will this person do everything possible in their power to make this idea come to life?

00:00:39.020 If that doesn't work within three months, they still raise a million bucks.

00:00:42.040 Hey, can you pivot quick enough and go find an opportunity with what you got so far?

00:00:45.540 That's what I'm looking for.
