It doesn't matter how bad your credit is, you can still do deals. I did a lot of deals, even with bad credit. Three years ago, I had a huge tax lien, a federal tax lien of $520,000 on my house, on everything we owned. The IRS was threatening to send me to jail if I didn't pay this thing off. Basically, what happened was I started doing a lot of deals, I started making a lot of money, and I wasn't setting aside any money for taxes. I kept on paying off my old taxes without paying my new taxes. I kept on digging myself in a bigger, bigger hole.

There’s this book called Profit First, and I read it cover to cover. Then I hired a full-time bookkeeper and operations manager for my business. We implemented the Profit First method and after some time, we turned the ship around. The point of the story is to not make the same mistakes I did. Hire a bookkeeper if you need the help and read the book Profit First. If you’ve made mistakes, don’t hide your head in the sand. Face your problems head on and ask for help.
