Dean Graziosi Weekly Wisdom #243 - Improve One Thing

Weekly Wisdom #243 Dean nice meeting two of your why's. Dean every time I hear you speak it inspires me to go do. I'm convinced that I need a recorder of your weekly wisdoms to erase this fear and move forward. I have nothing but time I can do everything you advise. I just feel like after I complrte one of the many steps you've taught your students I get stuck. Dean or one of the other DG family members I wanted to know exactly how much should I have done before scheduling for my 3 day mentor to come to my home town? I really don't want that to be a wsisted 3 days for my self or my mentor.

Sorry but I too had to watch this video twice as the first time I was entertained by the faces the kids were making and they had me laughing. They were too funny

This week my family and I are on vacation and believe it or not my challenge was to stay away from Real Estate for a week. This might sound silly but for me this is a challenge.

I need to challenge myself to keep real estate and family time separate this summer. Real Estate is what I do and it is on my mind 24/7 but my family is who I am and I need to give them the time from me that they deserve.

Thanks Dean,
Just a little note first Friday my husbands brakes went out on his dump truck, but do to his expert wisdom he was able to not take out any people or car's on a narrow and busy road in Park city, UT, as he climbed a hill to prevent from rolling, I am extremely grateful for him, for Saturday I finished your book 30 day's this week my goal is to keep going foreword and follow what the book say to do day 1-5.

They are sOOOO adorable!!! So cute! You are SO blessed!

I thought long and hard on this, and I know for sure the one thing I have to get better at is setting aside more time to spend with my kids. I'm learning to do multiple deals at a time and delegating more and more of my daily tasks to make that happen. But, I'm getting more organized, have my best friend here keeping my house organized and helping with the kids and its helping me SO much that I have so many LESS things to worry about now! Its a GREAT feeling!

Have a wonderful 4th of July with your Family!

To spend my time Real Estate producing efforts instead of just busy work.

I wish all the good forces - God oriented - win in your country and all over the Earth!
We can make this happen simply by remembering and expressing the good within each of us.

God bless America and you all!

PS Impressed me a lot that your girl did not follow her brother's idea! I think she already knows how to be a good example! Congratulations!

Hello Dean and my extended family,

Cheers,
Jyot

First of all Happy 4th of July To all our DG family! And your darling babies are so cute and you are blessed by them. I've got the edge 2013 and my husband has gotten so inpatient to make our first deal. So our challenge for this week is to put a few ads out on Craig list to built a buyer's list. That's my husband Stanley challenge. Mine is to go talk to a couple of realitors. SO HERE GO! GET READY SET GO o O!!!!

Your kids are so adorable big time.

I am still working on trying to improve one thing.
My week will be ended in three days.

Thanks you so much! for your weekly wisdoms!
And EVERYTHING that you do for and on this site.

I am very GRATEFUL for it.

Thank you for spending the time to share the your knowledge with us. This week I will have an RE agent that want to work with me and also networking with other people. Thank you very much.

Hello Dean! You have some beautiful and adorable children! My challenge for this week is to pay off at least one bill that I have had for sometime. My goal is to one day become debt free.

Thank you for your weekly wisdom. First of all the children are most wonderful and I loved seeing you with your "Daddy Hat" on. Their job is to play, be silly and learn their world. Continue to teach them and they will grow to be wonderful adults.

Your challenge is awesome and I've actually been thinking how I can get more work "out of me"!!!!!!! I'm doing the 30 days to Fast Cash with a mentor/life coach.

For this coming week, I will do alot of what I read on the blog:
1)absolutely no news shows (I was watching Anderson Cooper);
2) no more than 1-2 hours of "fun shows" in evening with my son.
3) Get 2 more REAs on board. Have one now who just emailed me and said she could not get me a list of cash buyers for the last 90 days. She'll probably have to go! She was so nice!
and 4) Have a daily schedule that I go over nightly. It was actually one of my goals that I have not done and I really like knowing what I'm doing the next day. Thanks for the challenge!!!!!!

Since it is Friday, I will give myself an additional week to accomplish this. I've been putting it off but you have motivated me. And I know (because I've done this before) that I will feel so much better physically and about myself if I do this just once a week.

I will actively look for a place with enough room to teach belly dancing. :} My last location only had enough room for 5 students and they didn't always show up. But even if there was just one student, I received great benefits from the time. This will also help me get rid of the extra 5lbs I gained when I quit smoking over a month ago.

Thanks for the motivation. And if anyone in San Diego North County wants to take Belly Dance lessons, contact me.

Hey Dean,
Look forward the Weekly Wisdom spots (your kids are cute)....I am going to stop beating myself up when I make mistakes....I will learn from them and quickly move on!

Dean, love this weekly wisdom with your kids, makes it more cute and the same time ...have to pay attention twice as much , their just adorable !!

I been struggling the past 2/3 mo with any RE investing, I started with Wholesaling and got stuck and frustrated on How does really works, I asked here few times and didn't seam to get a reply ( I guess ppl are just busy )..
So my challenge is to get back on it and try harder this time around !!

Hi Dean,
Love your kids, love you as Daddy. They aren't bored! They obviously love being with you.
So I'm kinda a couple weeks ahead of you here lol.
I committed to building several new remote teams and making tons of offers. A week in I made about 80 - Now I know lots of people do that regularly, but it wasn't the game I was in. Now I'm IN! Got several accepted - working the numbers - all pretty exciting and the fear, I just keep tossing out the door. If it lands on its head enough times, it will give up, for a while. Then I get to throw it out again!

Hi Dean, These are my results from my challenges this week.

I have gone without negative news (no reading or listening to tv, radio, newspapers, magazines, internet) since Monday, July 2, and have noticed the following:

I had negative thoughts, but about 2/3 less than before. I engaged in quite a bit of negative thinking when I was around my husband, anticipating that his conversation with me would be negative, but was pleasantly surprised when 75% of the time that didn't happen. I engaged in a lot of negative thinking when I was tired. And, I am tired most of the time.

This information does not define me. It is now a part of my "research and development". Thanks for the challenge. I learned something. Have a great rest of the weekend.

UPDATE 7/6/13

So I went a totally different track from Monday. I started to search my area but was sidetracked into another deal in another area. I had some potential buyers for that area already so it wasn't a total waste of time. Outcome yet to be determined. I have at least 2 people at the moment checking out my deal.

I joined forces with another DGer who has buyers for my old haunts in FL so I DID call an agent. It just so happened that it was an agent I know ( and who knows me and my family)so the call was much easier than a cold call or email. I'm feeling more confident that something good is going to happen, just not in my backyard. I did get to practice my research methods and found cash buyers from where I thought I would be looking at so that will be a job for next week.
So challenge accepted and completed. Results to be determined. Many positive steps now in place.

That's right Carol, there has to be a balance of both or you become too lopsided. I know that for sure

Enjoy your vacation. RE will still be here when you get back

Bored babies LOL!!!

I'm going to challenge myself to get a real estate agent and spend more time studying your website and less time on FB.

I will spend more time trying to work this business.

Loved getting to watch your "bored babies"! They are absolutely adorable. Thanks for that.

My goal is to get a new Real Estate Agent on board. The properties I am working with (rehabbing etc) didn't require an agent to "find" them so I need a good agent in the Seattle area so I can start wholesaling. It seems so simple! I just need to start.

Have a great week!
Brenda

Set a schedule to stick to.

Hi Dean:

COMPLETE REAL ESTATE DEALS SO I CAN QUIT MY JOB! That is a 2 for 1.

Love your children.

Thank you for all that you are doing.

Thank you for your time,Doc Kinsey,P.S.- I have ten years of high end sales and great closer,need to use it.

Hello Dean. It's has been a long time since my last post. Life has a sneaky little way of grabbing you by the ankles and dragging you into the dark abyss of distraction alone and broken. I know I am a bit late but I am playing catch-up with all the weekly wisdoms. As far as my challenge. . .I have 2. One is to consistently stay positive and project positivity in the universe and block all negative energy who's sole purpose is to rob me of the very riches of success. The second is taking action. I can analyze and research and educate myself to my hearts content but in the end I have been paralyzed from "jumping in" by the "what ifs" and "be cautious" scenarios. I need to be able to not make mistakes, not be afraid all the time and simply "take the plunge".

1. Do not let negativity suck the life out of me. Turn problems into goals-even if multiple mini goals. EVERY step in the RIGHT direction is a WIN!

2. Get Buyer's lists downloaded again and do the research to send out the marketing letters to them. At least 10 by 07/15/13.

I'm continuing with personal development, NLP and making big changes in how I think. My mind is my best asset! All the best to you & yours.

Dean,
Thanks for the challenge in the weekly wisdom and for making it real and sharing your kids. They are adorable!

My challenge is to get a real estate broker and to go on a negative talk diet...none for a week! I am catching up on the weekly wisdom and posted this to keep myself accountable.

Thanks again!
Jean
