Amanda Elhassen was a hairstylist drowning in $50K of credit card debt.

Her car was getting repossessed. She couldn't see a way out.

Then she discovered something that changed everything:

"Every single time I make a video, I'm talking to one person. Her name is Ducky."

Today, she sells $50M a year in real estate.

From her kitchen during lockdown, phone propped against a book, making what she calls "cringey videos" to becoming Livermore's top agent.

This playbook shows you her exact strategy

— Andrew

Part I: The 555 Formula That Broke $10M to $50M in Sales

Amanda works on her strategy every day, always striving to connect with people authentically.

Her focus on social media and creating genuine content has allowed her to build deep relationships within her community, which has been key to her success.

Part II: The Friend Who Made Her Millions (Without Knowing It)

Ducky has no idea she's the secret to Amanda's success.

Every morning, Amanda wakes up 45 minutes early. Not to meditate. Not to journal.

To have real conversations with strangers.

"I'll never DM someone 'Yum' or just heart their post. I'll say 'Oh my gosh, that's one of my favorite restaurants. I always get the salmon. What did you order?'"

Dead-end comments kill conversations; questions create clients.

Within messages about pasta and appetizers, people suddenly say:

"By the way, I've been meaning to connect you with my uncle who needs to sell his house."

She never asked for the business. She asked about the bruschetta

Part III: Why Going Everywhere Means Going Nowhere

Part IV: The Abundance Trap That Pays

Amanda's husband saves everything. Amanda spends everything.

"He's like 'We need to save for emergencies.' I'm like 'No, let's spend it. Money is so easy to make. We'll just make more.'"

Reckless? Maybe.

But watch what she did:

• Bought first home with $14K (scraped together)

• Took 1% higher interest rate to cover closing costs

• Lived in 1,100 sq ft house while making millions

• Fixed it up themselves for 2 years

• Sold for $187K profit

Then the genius move:

Used a HELOC to buy an Airbnb. $2-4K monthly profit. Paid off the HELOC. Bought another.

"We lived like we were broke while making millions. My colleagues couldn't believe someone at my level lived in a house that small. But now we own our dream home AND the investments pay for it."

The Closing Loop

Amanda still has her stylist scissors.

Keeps them in her desk drawer. A reminder of the $50K debt, the sleepless nights, the almost-repossessed car.

But also a reminder of this:

"I never thought I'd even own a home. Now my girls run through our dream house's yard, picking fruit from our trees, and I can't believe I get to live here."

The distance between barely surviving and building wealth?

One conversation at a time. One DM about dinner. One question about dessert. One friend named Ducky who doesn't know she's famous.

Amanda's final truth:

"If you don't reward yourself for working hard, what's the point? Every six months I book a vacation while on vacation. If I don't have something to look forward to, why get out of bed?"

The hairstylist who couldn't afford her car payment now books vacations from other vacations.

All because she talked to people about restaurants.
