"The Importance of being a Person of Character."
Preview:
Hi Everyone..
I wanted to share my thoughts on the importance of being a person of "character" and what that actually means. If I learned anything from my Dad growing up with him.. in my teenage years it was how important it was to be a "good person" and treat other people with the greatest respect; even when they don't always return it. My Dad used to always write quotes that he liked on pieces of paper and put them all over the house.. on the fridge, mirrors, and on the walls in places where you could see them. In... continue reading >>
"Screen your calls and Work with Motivated Sellers"

Hi Everyone..
I just wanted to drop a line on a resource I work with when it comes to handling incoming calls. It depends on what you like.. but I would go to say that giving out your cell number on your marketing will make you on call 24//7... so you don't really have control over your time in a sense. Here's an example I'm familiar with.. You've just made dinner and your sitting down with your family and "ring ring" you hear your cell phone go off.. you can't not answer it "It could be a motivated seller" so... continue reading >>
"Driving for Dollars"

Hi Everyone..
I wanted to share a "tactic" I am aware of when it comes to generating leads in this business... with little money invested. If you work in this business then you know that your a marketing specialist first and real estate investor second. That's because you could know every strategy in the book, and have 10 different ways to structure a deal. You could be an absolute "pro" at buying and selling houses.. but if you don't understand and possess the ability to market your self and your business.. you won't have any leads to work with. Lead... continue reading >>

"Important or Urgent"
Preview:
Hey Everyone..
I wanted to discuss an issue were all to familiar with.. in life and in business. In today's business world for example.. we are swarmed with tasks, things to do, choices to make, and the question comes down to "where do I invest my time?". This can be a phone call, checking your email, returning messages, sending email, studying strategy,.. the list goes on. This is when it becomes crucial to identify the "important and urgent" activities in you life; so you can choose to subordinate the "urgent" and focus on the "important". But to do this you... continue reading >>
"The Key element in Achievement"
Preview:
Hello Everyone..
Today I wanted to address the "key factor" when it comes to achieving success in anything.. be it this business, losing weight, developing relationships, and reaching your goals. In the beginning we all map out a plan, (hopefully) and that plan is not a set in stone, step by step set of procedures.. of what will actually happen. A plan is only a "guide" or "compass" that gives you direction... from which you take action on the small disciplines that will bring you results. You can write a plan, be as detailed as you want, step by step..... continue reading >>
"Financial Freedom"

Hey Everyone..
I wanted to chat about the topic of financial freedom.. and what that is. I would go to say that it will be a different answer for everyone.. because everyone has their own set of circumstances. But their is one common thread I think.. its more like a way of thinking but none the less it's universal. For example; I'm 24 and I have three kids with one on the way.. yes I know I've been busy in that department but I now feel I have a "huge" responsibility to them. These are my kids.. and I want... continue reading >>
"Learn to do what others are Not."

Hi Everyone..
I just thought I'd touch on the a point that I think is very important in this business, and in life.. something overlooked perhaps. In relation to this business I would say that it's easy to know how money is generated... you hear the success stories everywhere. The man who made 50,000 on a pre foreclosure deal with no money down, or the fix and flip that netted 43,000.. big numbers right. On top of that the you have short sales.. and the idea is promoted that their is so much opportunity due to all of these houses... continue reading >>
"Attitude and your Future"

Hey Everyone..
I was working this morning and I came accross a lesson in the importance of attitude, it reminded me that no matter what you may be facing right now... anything is possible if your a "Positive Mental Attitude". I don't know what kind of challenges you may be facing right now.. lack of time, lack of money, lack of business. I know for myself that when you have a 8 month baby, 3 1/2 year old son and your daughter is just starting Kindergarten your a little bit pressed for time... not to mention that J.O.B you work... continue reading >>
