Dean Graziosi Weekly Wisdom #229 - I’m Not Fooling Around Here

Oh how I wish I could say that isn't me, or I've succeeeded above and beyond my fears....but sadly I haven't yet. I have learned to get out of my own way and try things now and then. However, when I don't get results I back off. And yes
I do over analyze everything! I wish it were as easy as you say, to just do it and it will come together, but it hasn't for me! I've tried every marketing technique I can think of to no avail! I'm on DGIE and have made some nice connections and have some great supporters, but still can't get a deal done! I'm at my breaking point. I love your training Dean and I think you're a great guy and have developed an amazing network for new investors, but I just don't know if this is for everyone, everywhere.
I'm diving in head first tomorrow this time without looking back or asking questions because I figure either that way I'll get my answer... If I can follow the steps you laid out without adding in my own perspective this time and without deviating from the course because I think it won't work in my area, either it will work or it won't. Then I can move on in whatever direction this leads me. Best wishes to everyone here. I really hope everyone prospers.

Than You for all your wisdom

Thank you, Dean, for not being a "wheeler dealer" look-out-for-your-own-gain, shifty kind of person. I have seen many who just want to get rich off of the people who trust them to teach them about the industry, and they don't care about them at all.

Can't wait to read your new book!
Thank you!

Hi Dean,
This Is JR from Milwaukee, I want to thank you for your education and program. I enrolled 6 months, I have made 2 offers and working on 2 FSBO right now. I am going through obstacles which are part of life experience, but keep on pushing harder. I also work with another DGer as my partner Steve Milwaukee, we are ready to reap this thing apart right now.
My best experience with you in my house is watching my two years old son Josiah learning the business so well with you. watching the weekly wisdom, identifying your books from the book shelves, my pictures with you in Vegas.
we are teaching him the Alphabet and match an object with each letter but for the latter "D" "Dean" is the reference. I know you talk about your son sometimes regarding your business but I believe my 2 year son Josiah is ready to take over the real estate just by watching you Dean. If you ever want a proof of what I just said just show up at my house unexpectedly then you'll judge for yourself....
You are my hero,

Thank you Dean

Success Conscious,

Hey there dean It's Q From Ibiza Thanx for the Push to get into the right Place at the time. Its truly important to get involved with a movement bigger than you..

As a notorious overthinker, this weekly wisdom was especially pertinent. THX! The FREE 30days.pdf you also provided as a valuable bonus also reinforces the msg to "learn by taking action!"

After letting it go for over a year, I am finally positioned to move retirement into a self-directed, self-managed account to maximum flexibility for investment and also find good 4X bank loan to fully leverage my opportunities as quickly as they appear and can be qualified.

Thanks for your positivity and encouragement. MT

I am half way though the audio book in DG Insider and one chapter had a glitch. Great that I can read that part. You are so sharing with your information. Thanks Wendy

Thank you for shining your light... I appreciate all you do, and just wanted to let you know that you're make a difference in my life and beyond.

Thank you,

Paul

Bless you Dean for consistently sharing ways we can help ourselves and others to do better!

Dean you called it head on when you said "stop over analyzing,
get in the game...you don't have the next two years to over analyze!"

I spent just over two years on your site, over thinking this business.

Last December my lease option came due and I couldn't buy.
As of May 15th I sadly lose my home, and may leave my neighborhood of 38 years.

This painful lesson pushed me out of (dis)comfort zone and into productive
real estate action.

Remember the only thing stopping you is you.

Warmly, Lawrence

Sorry to hear about your situation but keep your head up and dont give up on your goals hang in there and everyhting should work out fine for you.You can make money in (wholesaling) without using any of your own money.You might want to look into wholesaling.Take care.

I never met anyone in my life who would care so much as Dean!!!

You hit the nail on the head with me in this video. I do over analyze when it comes to getting into this real estate business. And in doing that I have not accomplished anything that I want to. I know I shouldn't think too much, but I can't help it.

Thanks for your weekly wisdom.I am still reading your book 30 days real estate cash .I feel alittle bite behind .

Thanks for another weekly wisodm for all of us. We wish you continued success in all you do. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Hey Dean,

I've got to be the biggest Over-Analyzer on this planet or any other! No kidding! You should see me in the grocery store - should I buy the toothpaste that whitens or the one to get fresh breath?

I mean it's just toothpaste for crying-out-loud!

Is it because I'm afraid to make a mistake? Is it because I want to make the right choice? Is it because I want to be perfect? Probably all of the above and then some.

It's something I REALLY need to work on! In my personal and professional life.

As usual, thanks for the "ear" and the weekly wisdom.....Talk later.

Tom

Thank you Dean;

Dean,
Just a little update I'm apart of your Success Team Family, and I was blown away after I applied my ads I rcvd 10 calls& emails on Easter Sunday so that kept me busy following the instructions. Thank you for such a great Family to be a part of my coach is great and patient with me she said my progress is good keep going. Telps58

Esteeanna,
I too am reading and will keep pushing thur. Keep your head up we are Women in Real Estate.

Thanks again Dean for your time and advice. I assure You, I am trying to be in the game. My first call on a FSBO turned out to be a owner under some deep water, did just a referal on that for a short sale strategy with my buyer. I have another in the works, trying to make that FIRST DEAL since becoming a DG student in Nov. 2012. I work long 12 hour days at my 'JOB',and I am spending all day-three days a week, every day-off,(evenings on my work days), trying to take action finding my first CLIENT. This is truly an exciting time in my life! EVERYDAY IS THE LAST DAY OF THE WAY I USED TO BE! I am becoming a Real Estate Investor with Your program, book and advice, as well as advices from my REclub members. Almost there! I WILL NEVER GIVE UP !!! I WILL LEAVE THAT OLD JOB BEHIND FOREVER.
Thank-You again for being caring enough to help the rest of us learn what You did, AND put it out there for us.
-Tom

I'd such a busy Easter Sunday my phone was ringing crazy and my email was big my Ads must of been good. Hang in there they will come.

Time slip by your Thurs. and Sat. Live Event was great

Thanks Dean for your great advice not to over-analyze the process. We wanted to wait until we knew it all but decided we couldn't wait any longer and jumped into our first rehab project last November. It was an extensive rehab and we are finally finished and ready to put it on the market this next week. We still feel like newbies with a lot to learn but "not waiting" was definitely what we needed to do to be "in the game". Now we have our first scary one under our belt and can heave a huge sigh of relief that WE DID IT. Now we have the confidence to do it again!!

Thanks for the push, Dean. I'm a definite over analyzer. I'm going in !!! I would love to have a signed copy of your book !!! Thanks, Patricia

Dear Dean:

Thanks so very much for the wisdom & your generousity !!! You are absolutely one of the very best !!!!

Dear Dean,

Thank you for your advise; don't think too much and over analyze. Thank you again.

Hi Dean -- Thanks for the 30 Days to Real Estate Cash book download. I would love to get a print copy of your signed book too. Cheers, Carl

Hi Dean,
Well the first flip we did I sold the house for $189,900 with about $102,000 into it. At closing I got a check for $88,000 plus, and we are holding a mortgage for $75,900 at 6%, 15 year amortization and a 10 year call. Now we have another one up for sale at $159,900, and have about $76,125 into it. We will see what happens- it just went up for sale today!
Thanks for everything, Linda Dubbs

Hi,Dean,

I just registered the account. I am new here. Thank you for offering the book. I cannot wait to read it and start using it right away. Action!

Thanks!
Jenny

I JUST DOWNLOADED YOUR BOOK 30 DAYS CASH & STARTED READING IT. IT HAS SOME GREAT TIPS. I CANT WAIT TO GET THROUGH IT ALL....

Thanks for the updates and motivation.
Also thanks for the ebook Dean.

I have tried numerous times working with agents and rehabbers to no luck at this time, agents were all talk and no action. Rehabbers ripped me off numerous times on 2 homes I want to rehab, hold and rent\lease for future cash flow.

Also both homes are infested with dangerous brown recluse spiders which an insect company wants $300 plus dollars per home to try and extinguish the insects without any guarantee. The more homes I inspect over the past few years in Missouri I find infested with these spiders, they also infested my main home before I realized they were present, Glue traps work the best, but only for a few months before they get smart and avoid them, bug sprays only work if the spiders are sprayed directly, faster to step on them versus wasting money on bug spray.

It is a daily nightmare trying to avoid these
insects from my shower, bedding, clothes, shoes,
car, etc. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them without spending hundreds of dollars trying to fumigate them would be helpful. At least 4 times they have jumped on my head, crawled across my legs or fell off of my clothes before I saw them and killed them. Numerous other times I found them in my bedding, shower, car, running across the carpet at me, etc. I use to spend at least 30 minutes daily killing them on the carpet, walls, etc. The winter season and summer AC seems to keep them hiding more oftem.

I really prefer to buy and flip or hold and rent
versus wholesaling. I do have some buyers list setup from a REI site I belong to. Again no luck finding decent RE agents or rehabbers after
contacting or working with at least 10 or more of each over the past few years. I see so many deals pass me buy that look worth persueing, but
what good is it without a reliable inexspensive rehabber, most cases these homes need some or extensive work done prior to flipping or renting them. Not much luck with other reliable staff for other duties either.

Sorry so long, but you said you wanted to know how things were going with everyone.

Again hard to READ these SPAM text messages due to my eyesight.
