What’s your plan for 2018? What are your real estate goals for 2018?
Now is a great time to work on it…
“If you don’t have your own vision and plan then you’ll have to settle for someone else’s, and I don’t want that to happen to you this coming year.” Jim Ingersoll
What is the magic pixie dust for real estate success as a landlord, flipper or wholesaler?
What is the magic formula to HUGE profits?
What is the #1 thing to help you on cash flow and net worth this year?
I have some news for you: There is no magic pixie dust, and there is no get rich quick button. If you want get rich quick, just try a scratcher or maybe bitcoin…. How is that good news? You won’t waste your time chasing get rich quick and instead you will focus like a laster on the plan that leads to the results you want this year!
Real Estate Success comes from commitment to small steps, repeated each and every day of the year of the entire year. This is true in real estate AND every other goal that you have. The key is to get started today and make progress every single day without missing a single day or opportunity!
3 Characteristics I’ve Observed in Highly Successful People
1. Invest in themselves and their teams to have the best skills possible
2. They have strong relationships with successful people, mentors and build out strong networks!
3. They have clear goals, written down, and they constantly measure their results throughout the year
Ready to nail all 3? Join me at the Premiere Real Estate Investing Event of 2018!!!
Cash Flow Boot Camp Feb 22, 23 and 24th in Richmond, VA.
Have you heard the results of the Harvard Business School MBA study on goals?
- 3% of the graduates had written goals
- 13% had goals, but they were not in writing
- 84% had no specific goals at all–aside from getting out of school and enjoying the summer
Ten years later, the researchers again interviewed the members of that same graduating class.
13% who had goals that were not in writing were earning, on average, twice as much as the 84% of students who had no goals at all.
3% of graduates who had clear, written goals were earning, on average, 10 times more than 97% of their graduating class.
What was the difference in those who earned 2x as much or those who earned 10x as much as their class mates?
Which group do you want to be in?
The big reveal here is that the group with ultra-clear, written down goals created a lot more income and achieved their goals! It sounds so simple, yet so few investors ever write down their own goals and map out their lives.
If you could create a plan, write down your goals, and create the results you want would you be willing to take the massive action required to achieve them? Are you willing, ready, and able to reward yourself with the success you deserve?
No matter your background, education, or current level of success, if you master the skills of becoming a discount home buyer, leveraging real estate creatively and investing with Other People’s Money, you can shortcut your path to success big time!
I have seen investors with an 8th grade education do i. I know immigrants who don’t speak much English who get it done, and I know people who have a relentless pursuit that has taken them from low-paying jobs and transformed them into successful entrepreneurs.
I have seen people of all types and education levels pull it off and it continues to inspire me to watch them succeed!
How about you?
Are you ready to make 2018 YOUR BEST YEAR EVER?
No matter your circumstances in life you can make it happen
When you define your goals clearly you give your brain something new to look for and to focus on. You suddenly see things differently, including the people you interact with.
Your personal struggles become opportunities for growth, and your network can help you be a creative problem solver!
When you set yourself on a path with very clear goals, your brain has something new to work on. All of sudden, you find new opportunities for finding motivated sellers, money partners, deals, creative financing opportunities, and more.
What Not to Do for 2018…
1. Disappearing Goals
Goals are not just another list you can write, hide away, and expect them to happen. They have to be in sight constantly, results measured and adjustments made in order to achieve them! Internalize them, think about them, tell others about them and post them where you will see them every single day. Write them into the note pad on your phone, tape them to your bathroom mirror or car dashboard if that helps you not allow your dreams to disappear!
2. Foggy Goals
Ever drive in the fog and struggle to see the road?
Growing up in Western NY not far from Buffalo I know what it is like to drive in a total blizzard and whiteout! It is a real challenge!
You need to give yourself clarity in your path for 2018. What skills do you need to improve to become a better investor? Find more deals? Negotiate better? Lead your team of contractors better?
What relationships do you need in order to buy more real estate assets that produce cash flow for you?
What systems do you need to implement that can help you be more organized and productive?
What leadership skills can help you communicate your core values and vision better?
What does your comprehensive marketing plan need to look like?
Who do you need to add to your team (and remove from your team)???
3. Getting Help
One thing I personally missed when I first started investing in the mid 1990s was having someone to help me. I had no training–and no clue whatsoever.
We bought a duplex. We didn’t have capital for the fix up, had no property management systems in place, and you can guess how this turned out for my wife and me!
Not good! If I had someone to help me, I could have avoided many mistakes as a young investor.
Be sure to start gaining momentum
“Tomorrow is the favorite day of the week for lazy people”
“There is no day of the week called Someday!!”
Don’t delay in getting your goals written down and moving yourself forward to an awesome 2018!
Leave me your comments and one of your goals if you want to get started now!
Thank you for sharing this content to others who need a boost in 2018!
Excellent reminder simple steps still work
I kind of feel like that on my first deal which Iam trying to get done, tryed to partner but the partners never brought the right cash buyers on our 50/50 splits and as well all know the first property is the hardest.Had awesome deals though did my part but they didnt come through.
I am so glad you are coming to our bootcamp to train on AirBnB arbitrage! Freedom is closer then most people realize!
Useful Information
Thanks for sharing
Common sense is the key. You don’t attempt to travel without a map(except men wait until they are lost, then get the map) Lesson: Don’t be a typical man! Best negotiator is a 3 year old child. Learn to give them what they want and you get what you want. Pete Fortunato says it best; “You have to get what you want to get what you need to get what you want”
I have written quite a bit down. I hope it is not too much. today I am narrowing it down to more specific. tasks and accomplishments for daily completion.
