Friends, I’m very excited about something.

I’m buying more investment properties, so I need to create my next company. This in itself is awesome, but do you know what is even more awesome?

I want you to help me name it!

I’ve been struggling to come up with the right name, and so far I’ve got nothing. So I could use your help.

There’s one thing, though. The name needs to connect to my story.

Now I’m at the next stage. Justice has happened, and now I’m hitting the next level. I want this name to reflect that.

20 years ago I bought my first condo. I didn’t have the money for the down payment, so I asked my father to loan me the money.

He agreed, I bought a condo, and all was going well. But two weeks before closing, he suddenly changed his mind and left me hanging.

I was heartbroken and furious. “There will be justice,” I’d say to myself.

There was only one thing to do, and that was to take full responsibility for my life, and get a bank to lend me 100% (at a tremendous interest rate). It sucked, but I did what I had to do.

If I failed, it was all on me, but this was mine. I owned my life.

Well, I didn’t fail. I made a lot of money on the condo. I sold it and bought a house. Then I sold the house and bought a bigger house. And from this, I built a real estate investment business.

I named it “Justice Properties” because even though something bad happened to me, in the end, there was justice.

Now I’m at the next stage. Justice has happened, and now I’m hitting the next level. I want this name to reflect that.

So the story will be “From Justice to ____________”

Let’s hear what you’ve got!
