Thank you very much for another fantastic video blog that really was a really good one that you delivered to us all. And as you say yes you are the best on this planet for real estate investing.

I have not heard anyone speak about real estate the way you do or read any other books like yours.
Thank you!!!

Thanks for putting things into perspective. You're absolutely correct, keep at it don't give up. Timing is important. I remember somebody once said, "Pray as if it all depended upon God, Work as if it all depended upon you." Thanks Dean

I can relate 200%

My prayers are being answered as well. God's timing is perfect. Hmmmm, one of my goals, was meet Dean and partner with him... ... ...
I am so so very excited for you on your journeys with Tony. God will be ever present. Matthew 9:37 - Jesus said - the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Don't we love being the workers!

God's Timing

TinaScott's picture

Hi Dean, thank you for sharing this, I was just thinking the other day how I worked for 2 different investors when I was in my early 20s and not mature in my growth thinking as I do now. How much I learned and now since I have the mindset I do now, my life is totally different. I didn't understand at the time what God had in store for me but at the end of 2012 when the doors kept opening for us this comes to my mind every time Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Now at this time, I know that God had revealed to me years ago that I am now ready to do now.

Thank you for the opportunity you have given us.

Wow! Great inspiration Dean! Happy for you and thanks for sharing!

I realized a few years ago how fortunate I was to listen to Tony Robbins 20 years ago with my dad while he drove me to high school everyday.
I owe many thanks to first my parents but also Tony and Dean for my positive mindset and ability to self motivate to reach my full potential and be totally fulfilled!

This DG family is my oxygen to breath now! I'm so grateful to have this DG family as friends, mentors, and partners. I really appreciate everyone here whose taking action and never giving up on their goals!

Make it a great week!
Thom

Thanks Dean, The thing that was helpful to me from Tony Robbins was "take Massive action" to get you fired up...and change how you feel fast..

You nailed it Dean. Timing is everything and this was a perfect time for me to hear this weekly wisdom! Thanks for sharing!!

Getting ready for what's to come

How true Dean!
I have been living the same principles for a long time and am the firm beleiver that your past events are what prepare you for what is up and coming. I am living proof of this. If I had not gonr through all of my major events and circumstances, I would not have been ready for what I do and how I feel today. I also have a love for inspiring others and because of my extensive background I can effortlessly get others attention and make them feel there is a way.
I look forward to meet you again sir!

My best regards,
Dan

Dean,

I don't know how you "majiclly" reach into our lives and see what's going on. I'm in a slump at the moment. It's happened before and I came out of it. I signed up for IE and asked for of a chat transcript and a copy of the "secrets" book from DG.com. After reaching the support teams on both sites I have been ignored.

That said, I'm moving on with my plans. This explifies my life. I FIND A WAY.

Looking back and projecting forward, I am very busy in other areas (profession and personal), areas where I never thought I'd be in. It's all about adaptation and looking past adversity. In my recently updated personal email account signature I added the following quote "...nothing I want is out of my reach." I'm trully free. Free to do/be whatever I desire. Success (financial) will come. It's just a matter of time.

I know the Lord put me together with you, your books and your training.

Jeremiah 29:11 " For I know the plans I have for you," DECLARES THE LORD, " Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.

Dean, I think of you the way you thought of Tony. Now I am going to give back to you by teaching at the EDGE this year! Looking to do more with you in the near future.

You will do great things with Tony I have no doubt. God is and will be with you.

Michael

Dean in Tokyo and Shanghai with Tony Robbins??!!

Awesome Dean!!! Congrats!

Yes, timing does play a key role in our success; for me I truly believe that things have happened in their due time. One of my big goals in 2011 was to attend the Edge, so I made a commitment to myself that I would go after I got a deal done. 2014 will be my third time attending the Edge event! And I'm sooo looking forward to it (again)!

Thank you Dean, for keeping us motivated and inspired!

Terrific weekly wisdom

Dean,

As you said in your W.W. meeting Tony Robbins when you did, it was the right time. I heard "infomercials" a lot, but when I saw you and listened to you one late night I knew it was the right time to act and you were the right guy. We attended an event last year, which led to Insider's Cash, Boots on the Ground and the Buying Summit in April 2013. Got to meet you as well. The rest of 2013 didn't go well. However I still feel the same, you and your organization are top notch. Back in real estate investing and plan to make that 1st deal No time frame, it will happen when the time and deal are right. I look around at work knowing there is a better way to go through life. Thank you for everything you. do.

Strategic Delays

Great Weekly Dean: Thanks again for being sooo inspirational, I put myself in a rut last week .....soo many things going on and soo much interference (unnecessary interference)...I am delegating as well but it seems that I am always fining tuning all the time Which causes me to doubt my decisions..
I really like your weekly wisdom because it puts everything into perspective and not giving up especially when times are difficult, since I will reach my goals / just not all of my goals today I will get there, Life is a Journey and during that journey I may reach my goals at some times and at other times I may fail forward which is better than doing nothing at all. I will move forward one step at a time toward achieving my goals. Have an awesome week.....
Debbie

Sweet Dean

Hi Dean,
This is so funny!!! I have hit that plateau as well. I thought it was just me but I have listened to the blog four times and yes hopefully it is because it hasn't been the right time until now. Thanks for the encouragement and the awesome enthusiasm you display each time you are on tv or video

Hi Dean,

Inspiring.. I wont give up.

Hits home !

dglloyd's picture

WOW! Dean ! That hits home with us on SO MANY levels !! Patience, perseverance, and believing are all a part of life and real estate. Having FAITH in the timing of a higher power and that only He knows what is best for us and WHEN--is the trick. We must be accepting and grateful for the the Lords will in our lives.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.

Dean, You really ministered

Dean,

You really ministered to me TODAY! I just told my friend a few days ago that despite everything, nothing I desired for my life, as ever come to pass. I was saying, maybe I just need to throw in the towel of dreams and work a JOB until I either die or retire, whichever came first. 10 minutes later.. I told the devil he was liar and I am on the path for my dream to manifest. I quickly repented and tamed my tongue to speak LIFE! Your message today spoke to me. My dreams are not dead!! God is preparing me.. molding me, shaping me to receive them. Thank you Dean.

Thank. You.

Thank. You. Thank. You. Thank. You. Seven Layers Deep. Thank. You.
