I Lost €90K

But I’m okay.

Last week, I lost a €250K deal with a €90K profit because I told the truth when I could’ve stayed quiet.

My husband and I are starting a real estate business flipping properties. This was our first sale — a big one. And we were ready to move. Deposit lined up. Documents in order. Buyer excited.

But there was a mistake I noticed. Not mine, but it was there.

(For legal reasons, I can’t say more.)

And I had a choice: let it go and walk away €90,000 richer.
Or call it out and walk away with nothing.

I chose the second.

I didn’t do it because I wanted to be noble. I did it because I want to be proud of the way I build things.

And sometimes that costs you. Sometimes it costs a lot.

But I’ve realized something: I don’t want to build fast. I want to build right.

This applies to more than real estate.

Some of you have followed me through different experiments and offers.
Some have bought a product I made. Some haven’t.

And I’ll say this as clearly as I can:
Not everything I’ve built so far has lived up to my own expectations.
