AVLmeetup's NET Profit Philosophy

What is the NET Profits Philosophy?

The NET Profits Philosophy is the backbone of AVLmeetup, built on three foundational pillars: Networking, Education, and Transactions.

More than just an acronym, the "NET" of NET Profits reflects a mindset shared by entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals alike. It's an understanding that success is measured by what you take home, not just what you earn. Gross profit is good, but net profit is far better.

Originally crafted by Zac and Rodrigo as a guiding framework for AVLmeetup, the philosophy has grown to resonate with a broader audience beyond just real estate. It’s a practical roadmap for anyone looking to thrive in business, designed to inspire focus, accountability, and action. Whether you’re closing deals, building teams, or scaling operations, the NET Profits Philosophy applies universally to anyone working toward sustainable success.

Here’s how it breaks down:

N - Networking

In business, relationships aren’t just important—they’re everything. The "N" in NET represents networking, the cornerstone of growth. Whether you're connecting with clients, collaborating with partners, or building your team, a robust network creates opportunities and provides the support needed to overcome challenges. At AVLmeetup, we’re firm believers that your network is your greatest asset. It’s not just about knowing people, it’s about creating meaningful, mutually beneficial relationships that stand the test of time.

E - Education

Every successful entrepreneur knows this: staying still means falling behind. The "E" in NET emphasizes education—because the business landscape doesn’t wait for anyone. Whether you’re in real estate, tech, or retail, markets shift, regulations change, and strategies evolve.

To compete and thrive, you need to stay curious, learn continuously, and adapt with the times. At AVLmeetup, we foster a culture of learning, providing insights and tools to help our members stay ahead of the curve in their industries.

T - Transactions

Business boils down to execution. The "T" in NET stands for transactions—the deals, decisions, and actions that drive progress. Whether it’s closing a sale, securing funding, or launching a new product, success depends on how well you execute.

At AVLmeetup, we equip our members with the resources, knowledge, and connections to make their transactions smoother, more impactful, and ultimately, more profitable. It’s not about quantity for the sake of it; it’s about making every move count.

Why The NET Profits Philosophy Matters For Business Leaders

The NET Profits Philosophy isn’t just a playbook for real estate—it’s a mindset for anyone serious about building something bigger. It challenges you to prioritize relationships, embrace lifelong learning, and focus on meaningful action.

Zac and Rodrigo designed this framework as a shared vision for AVLmeetup’s community, but its relevance extends far beyond. Entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals across industries will find value in adopting this philosophy to fuel growth and achieve sustainable success.
