Powerful lesson

Saying no is one of the hardest things to learn. There are so many "good" activities, but we have to choose to spend our days and our energy toward the priorities in our life. Those priorities may very well include helping others. This is one thing I've gotten better at, yet I think I can find lots more candidates for "NO!".
Thanks Dean, for letting us be one of your "yes'es"!

Thanks Dean

once again Dean you are so right. I turned down going fishing with some friends of mine from work the other day. I used to be a tournament bass fisherman. I would fish all the time. But now I now at this time in my life that time with my wife and daughter is more important than fishing with the guys. I spend more time with REI than I do on hobbies now. Do not get me wrong some day I want to get back to having time for fishing but for now REI and family get my time.

Thanks Dean for more wisdom.

Excellent Example

Reminds me so much about myself. The mask example surely drives it home for me. Take care of yourself first, which will evidently put you in a position to assist others. Thanks Dean for those words of wisdom.

Perfect Timing !

WOW ! Dean, you must have peeked into my life this past week. Perfect timing on this weeks WEEKLY WISDOM !...I've literally had to practice saying "no" lately because people have become so dependant on me for so many things, that I've put off reading more of your book.....and that's not good. Thanks for another positively awesome reality check ! GETTIN' BETTER EVERYDAY ! GOD BLESS ! Carrie

Great reminder Dean! We all

Great reminder Dean! We all have the same 24-hours. If we cannot fix (plan and act on) our 24 hours, how can we fix (plan and act on) our better life or future? I have been getting better at qualifying people (Reason, Season or Lifetime) and would like to add this time and tested principle and would like to share it: "Those who do not add to your life, will eventually subtract from it", because it is so true. So we need to be careful who we say "YES" to. Especially if they do not add anything positive to our life. Thanks for your weekly video blogs! I look forward to meeting you at the 2012 Edge Event!

Excellent message and reminder

I need to always work on time management. I have really learned what to say yes to and what to say no to, but I will be doing this exercise to see if there are any more redundant things I'm saying yes to that I could be more .

I have to laugh when you mention writing down everything for a week. When I did that exercise I was homeschooling and had 2 toddlers. Smiling It was pretty funny to read through what I did every day; I went a whole 10 minutes ONCE w/o an interruption until the kids were in bed for the entire time (average was 3 minutes w/o an interruption (I think I did the exercise for 3 days). Sticking out tongue [And my husband still doesn't know what I do all day] But, even so, I managed to do my 5 deals, and complete my courses at the SA. Not to mention the oodles of deals that didn't work out for whatever reason or another. Time management was the ONLY way I was able to do it! (and God's grace!) Laughing out loud (Oh, and sleep deprivation Eye-wink )

Just another great blog

We enjoy Sunday evenings listening to your new message for the week. It gives us power for the upcoming week and tips that we take into consideration to improve ourselves and become better investors and individuals. Thanks a lot and have a great week!

Hi Dean!!

Rick888's picture

Thanks for another great blog. I've recently hit another wall with my investing and I really want to get over it.
A few months ago, I spent a lot of time and money on a post-card campaign to find buyers in my area and didn't get any results. This was very disappointing and it caused me to stop all efforts at REI. I simply lost my mojo. With the holidays and other large expenses recently, I just didn't have the money or the willpower to try any more marketing.
Now that I'm starting to get my finances back in order, I know that it's time to try again.
It's time to start saying "no" to all the things I've been saying "yes" to for the past few months and get back into my REI groove.
Thanks for always being there for us students and providing that boost of encouragement every week.

Right as always

Perfect message for the newbie

This is such a motivating message...as a newbie I have found that there are two many "busy" things keeping me from spending the time I really want to spend learning how and taking action in the real estate business. Thanks Dean.

Yes!

Time management is so very important! Thanks Dean.
Smiling

Thanks Again

Great message again to keep us focused on what needs to be done.
Look forward to additional information and getting money together for the Success Academy

Yes and No system

It is a good thing to track. I am pretty sure most people can be easily distracted and start saying Yes many times when it should by NO.

so, getting back on track, checking your track should be done more often!

thanks Dean!

TIME

Time is a big issue for me I always wake up 6 AM and booom all I realize it is 10PM already. When we set up our daily schedule i do believe we will manage our time better. Thanks for the info DEAN

Time Management - Great!

Captain777's picture

Logging down all that we do each day and each week will show ourselves exactly what we are choosing to do and what we are prioritizing. Thank you for the suggestion to record each activity. This should hone our choices to be more productive and achieve the things we really want.

Managing Time

This is a weakness that most people share in, the 97%, so be wise and start now! Putting it off is the key to never getting Started, "Just Do It".

God bless
Sandy and Nathan

Thank you!

Courtney's picture

I look forward to your video blog each week. It is always inspiring to me and I don't always post but plan on posting more. Last week after your blog it made me think of a blog you did a while ago about time management that really helped me where you make a list, then pull the most important ones over to the next page, then you pull the most important things that need to be done right now and you focus on those etc. Then you did this blog with another amazing strategy.

I just want you to know that all of your blogs help me tremendously!! In the beginning of March I will close my 5th wholesale and make 5K!! Thank you so much for all of your help and encouragement!! I truly could not have done this without your 3 day seminar the end of last feb and your success academy that is there whenever I call with questions.

I really look forward to meeting you in person very soon!!

Thanks again,
Courtney

yes or no

Thanks Dean,
This is such a great reminder to take action and do the things we need to do,to become successful in REI. I am probaly the number one "no doer" in this scenerio because of all the little things that I let get in my way.
I just lay down and take it..
I must learn to prioritize and take care of my business needs first.
Thanks again.
Have a wonderful and blessed day Smiling

You are Briliant. You always say the things I need to here at time I need to here it. I was saying to myself I need to do something diferent with my time and here it is. I can see the areas of mismanagement of my time with the time I am willing to find out.
Thanks Dean
