Dean Graziosi Weekly Wisdom #195 - When Being Smart... Isn’t

Sometimes we think we can take shortcuts and still get the same results. We think we have a smarter way. Sometimes that's true. But when it comes to using time tested things that have been developed through hundreds of hours and many years... trying a shortcut is shooting yourself in the foot.

That's the opposite of smart. This blog talks about three how you can get in the way of your own success and how to avoid making that mistake.

When Being Smart... Isn’t

Hi Dean

Another great video......Taking shortcuts aren't smart......They only produce shortcut results....and they show.....Also better not to do business with family, and friends, (if this can be helped)....and get an impartial Real Estate Agent....

Thank You Dean......for all your time, information, and guidance..that you give your DG Family......

Kindest Regards,
Sharon

Thank you AGAIN Dean!

It's all too true, that we feel we can take a shortcut, or we try (kinda) and say it doesn't work, but it's also tru that in the end there are a lot of us here on DG that have followed (maybe after we tried shortcuts) Dean's teachings (maybe the second, third or fourth stab at it), then gone on to do it with a headache, we crawled to walk, listened first to talk [Real Estate] and then when the going got really, really, really hard did it anyway, because Dean taught us to hear our why.

Each of us has it in us to win, to succeed. It's not easy, but it works when we work it!

Love to the DG Fam!

Weekly Wisdom #195

Hi Dean,

You are so right. I had asked my neighbour, just to test him, about real estate. I saw his face and I knew instantly that I will not be working with him now or in the future. He is into real estate.
The library is about to close. Got to go.
Bye for now,

I like how you are so excited and adamant about seeing people succeed in your real estate program. It makes someone like myself want to get to work and experience the results your always talking about. I appreciate your time and advice!

I will follow you, and I will succeed

REI doesn't work for YOU?

As Dean says in this video above
(if you watched it)

If you feel like REI doesn't
work for you, then...

It is Time To RE-EVALUATE
why & what exactly isn't
working for YOU!!!

Searching for SOLUTIONS
is the answer YOU have been
waiting for...

[It is extremely important
to Be AWARE that if
YOU are your own biggest
problem, then that's the problem...!!!
YOURSELF!!

We must learn to recognize
that we all have challenges
no matter what..
And if You CAN Level Up
past your current limitations...
This is the path you must take
if You Want to Succeed....

[peace]

Loved it

I think I missed what the boot on the ground program is.

BRINGING ME..

back to what needs to be done and thats not giving up; WE need to practice being a REI until its becomes a habit. i Have been looking at home by driving around and most home dont sell for month (3-4) or longer. from vacant homes to home that need work, but i let time pass by and some have new owners. i guess i needed to see that because i could have made offers on those homes but i hesitated. Now when i pass by i get upset because i took no action.

If some you have done the same and let opportunity pass by it ok as long as you change and commit.
like Dean said follwing the steps and doing how he says will work, but like everything else in life if you dont try you will never know if you could have done it.

I am rereading the books again and its making more sence everytime i read so... repetition repetition repetition.

thanks Dean

Dean is so on target with this weekly message. Very very good point about the family member who attempted to 'tweak' Dean's methods only to say that it didn't work.

We could all learn quite a bit from this message, if only we are willing to listen and follow his advice. Thank you Dean!

Ok Dean

I get the message , you do inspire you do motivate, you do encourage. I have to follow the steps, ask questions, follow through, follow through.
Thanks for the reminder

Like your videos. I am

Like your videos. I am starting over

weekly wisdom #195 when being smart ... isn't

Dean,
I was watching your video blog from August 5th 2012 and while watching it I got scared because I have wasted my time and the money that I did have not taking action at that time.

And todays date is July 22, 2013 that is almost one year.

But like you said use it for research and development and move on.

I wanted to get on at the bottom of real estate market and ride the wave up, but I'm truly not concerned about it anymore as long as I get on the wave somewhere.

Thank you again!!! you don't know me, but I am very grateful for your site and that I can meet others that have my interest to earn money in the real estate market.

Linda
