So whoever is 'crowned' this years contest winner..... Know You ARE a winner before entering the contest because you took action, you followed the steps, you decided to take responsibility and take your life, your future into your own hands!
Wear the crown well! Change lives, make HUGE impacts, always leave it better than you found it! NOT that you have anything to prove....BUT do it anyway Smiling Show the world how great you are! You are destined for greatness!

OMG DG Fam - what rock stars you all are! It had to be next to impossible to narrow this year's contest down. I have to go watch more of you than these amazing 8. God will continue to pour His favor as you walk forward!

Congratulations to those

I've been a DG member for over 2 yrs now and never posted a comment. I've barely even set up my profile. I remember when I first became I member, I used to scan through posts to find out if this stuff was real. I was very skeptical because I was socially conditioned to think that way. There were two main keys that helped me start to believe. Going to an REI club that was a three hour round trip was the first factor. I was able to sit at a table with people just like me and listen to them talk about investing in real estate. The second factor was this website. I could read people's posts in chronological order and litterally watch their transformation in fast forward. My favorite was Indiana Joe. I later found out that that was the same Joe Jurek that I read about in Dean's books and watched on Dean's videos. If you're reading this Joe, thank you for giving so much of your time to write those detailed posts. A series of causes in a specific order cause a series of effects and Joe's posts were in that chain of causes that brought me to who I am today. I'm writing this post in a state of gratitude for everything I have received from this site and a state of regret for everything I could have contributed but failed to. I never thought about how a post I made could be a contribution to anything other than my ego. I can't go back and write posts in those exact moments that my transformation was happening. All I can do now is tell anyone reading that this stuff is real and acheivable for you. Believe in these tools that Dean is offering and believe in yourself. If you feel even the slightest tug telling you that you can do this, that is a message from the universe saying that it needs you. It needs you to make the quality of your life congruent with the quality of your spirit. Then your inspiration will become a chain in the cause of other peoples lives and the entire world will become better because of the simple fact that you chose to believe.

p.s.
Don't forget to vote for me in the Send Me Away contest. The vacation would be cool but I really just want to hang out with Dean. That's another lesson I learned along the way, "The quality of your life is in direct proportion to the expectations of your peer group." I think that was Tony Robbins.

I got Picked

Hi DG fam,

Hope everyone is well and rocking it Smiling

Im a little nervous here cause I just saw my video in the top 8. I know I have worked hard and sacrifice a lot of things to get to where I'm at right now in life and real estate. I want to thank everyone on this site for helping me and others find a solution and to succeed in real estate.

SO GO NOW AND VOTE! ( For me please,lol ) Im the guy with the red Aeropostale shirt hahahahah Eye-wink

Thanks Dean

Thanks Dean for letting us vote on the great videos. We sent in a video for 2010 and were in the top 6 videos for that year. I know everyone wants to win but let's face it we are all winners here with the knowledge that Dean shares with us.

We have not done a lot of deals here lately but I still go to the bank once a month to deposit our rental income from the properties we own.

Thanks Dean and God bless

Steve and Veronica.

We are in the top 8!

I must say we were surprised to see our video made it to the top 8! There were so many great entrees this year we did not think we would make it this far!

REI has truly changed our lives and we love helping others do the same. 2013 is looking awesome for us and we would not be here if not for that "Late Night Infomercial"! Thanks Dean and thanks to your staff for choosing our video to be one of the top 8. It is an honor.

On to the next one!

Michael and Deborah

Congratulations to all.

Look at what you've inspired me to do, Dean.......... :)

AndyS's picture

I think it is only fair to tell you all reading this that this is going to be a shameless plug to sway your vote for the Send me away Dean contest. Laughing out loud

You see, I have connections to at least 3 of the applicants vying for yours and my vote. I think they all have done amazing jobs and all really deserve to be announced the winner. If there could be a 3 way tie, I would be most grateful to you Dean so I didn't have to choose between them. This is how much they all deserve it and how hard it is to choose. BUT, since only one vote counts, I have to share why I think you should vote for.......

The person(s)I hope you vote for have one main overriding thing going for him/her, the willingness to help us all. If you look at his/her record, you will see over 6900 comments made on this site and most if not all of them are teaching comments. Teaching comments to help all of us that haven't made a deal yet or are stuck in IDLE and can't seem to move forward. Putting aside the deals we've seen in the videos, just that kind of willingness to share, I feel, should be rewarded. BUT, he/she has done deals too. Many deals at that. (I was even blessed to be part of one of those deals Eye-wink ) And on the number and variety of strategies of those deals alone, he/she I feel should be declared the winner.

So I am asking you all, for reasons both personal and realistically, ethically sound, to vote for Michael and Deborah Mangham as your winners of the "Send me away Dean" contest. Taking nothing away from the other entrants, I think you will agree with me that they really do deserve the title of WINNERS. Laughing out loud

I can only hope the other entrants who have asked for my vote understand why I have chosen the Manghams over them. Not that you all don't deserve my vote, you do, but my heart says I should "dance with the one who brang me." I'm sure you will agree. Eye-wink There's always next year (unless my video makes the top 8 next year.Laughing out loud )

Thanks for reading this to the end,

I need this......

to see real people doing it and not just reading about it. To see people making smaller amounts to those making large amounts, is so up lifting.
Every one that take's Action are winner's.i can't wait to see my first deal go threw. And be able to say that I am a professional Investor.
Good luck to all of you that made this far in the Real estate investing.

Everyone who entered, just sharing your stories is so uplifting and encouraging for others! I hope everyone will watch ALL the videos in Dean's success stories ^ up there. Smiling

An Honor Again

keb64's picture

Hi Dean
It was an honor last year and an even bigger one this year because your staff thought enough about what I have done/doing to put it up again this year.I rocked it this year with the help of others and that is why I want to give back so much. You can not do it all by yourself people...Ask for help and you will get it on this site....I look forward to seeing the people I met and helped over the past year at this years edge...Either first or sixth place I am a winner already because of all of you..I love what I do and love helping others find the 10 inside of them...That is a true win for me..NOW GO GET SOME

Hi can someone help me with this.

Life changing!

Carol Stinson's picture

I know how life changing this can be for someone as I was crowned in 2009. Since then my life has not been the same.

This contest truly will change someone's life. I had a hard time casting my vote as the videos were all so awesome. All of the stories were inspirational and emotional for me as they bring back memories of where I started and how I have overcome so many obstacles to get where I am.

Congrats to everyone who made it happen in 2012!!!!

great videos

I have come back from the dead and so can you

I have literally come back from the dead (yes physically and mentally) i had went through an excruciating back surgery that has since failed lost everything i owned including my home. I lost several loved one's to death in a short period of time and just about anything else a human could endure.

I came back from the dead and then some have done several deals and will do many more and topping that off i have some great partners.

If i can do it so can you!
