But because it didn't work out, it massively drove me to be highly motivated to get that first mobile home park, and that was part of the fire under my butt to get that done." – Bryce Robertson"Nothing is gonna work unless you're taking massive action." – Bryce Robertson"Obviously, if you don't know what you're doing, you need to have someone looking over your shoulder.
