Like many of you I purchased Dean's book and had no idea how I was going to make it work. I Had bouts with denial, fear and discouragement. But I had a secret weapon inside of me that would beat out every thing that came against me... HOPE!

Hope is the most powerful weapon that we have! The definition of hope is: To look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence.

If you want something bad enough you will do everything that you can to achieve it. I wanted it bad!~ Though I struggled at first and fell down a few times I continued to get back up and try again. Now the best thing about my new life is the fact that I will never be broke again!

So far I have enjoyed reading everyone's story and what it take to move mountain to get where you want to be. Just like everone else I set up one night and discover one of Dean commerical which made me feel he was truley talking from his heart and not just another make millions selling realestate program. I have to say, I did purchase one books at barns and noble and placed it on the book shelf because it seem to be a lot of talk and no action in the 1st couple of chapter. So I lost interest and went on with my life. Then one day I seen the infomercial again and this time my wife said come here I want you to see something so I dashed into the room to see what was so important that she wanted me to just stop what I was doing.

Hello All

I spent Friday and Saturday with a group of fellow Entrepreneurs brainstorming about how we can continue to help others achieve their goals while expanding our businesses.

It was truly life changing for so many reasons. There were so many amazing topics, but I wanted to at least share a few of them with you.

It's 12:15 AM Sunday and I am typing on my lap top while sitting on my bed and I am reflecting back on what was discussed.

The subject line was "Are you lucky or a fool" because it was a phrase I brought up that nearly every other entrepreneur understood and had the same experience.

You see in middle school I sold bubble gum. In high school I sold firewood by the cord. Right out of high school I fixed wrecked cars and sold them for a profit.

Helped out the homeowner in a very distressful situation and got the short sale done and closed.
The short sale took about 6 months from start to finish. Got a verbal approval within 4 months but took the lender a couple of months longer to get the approval letter to us. The lender was very slow in the processing of the short sale. Put in an offer and negotiated the offer with the lender which was accepted and then had the agents market it to find an end buyer and got an A-B and B-C transaction done on the property. Walked out of the close with a check.
Homeowner was very happy and lender gets a payoff on the property and we get a property at a discount and sold it below market value.
A win-win-win situation for everyone involved.

> 2-10-2010. Today I reviewed 8 classified ads from single family homes to mobile homes to multi-units. It is amazing how little time I have invested thus far (3 weeks), but how much knowledge I've gained. I know now the risk level, the importance of location, what the magic buttons are, etc. I have never come this far with any other program I "tried" to start. You feel me when I say, "tried"?

Peace and Blessings,

Hello DG Fam
It's Gena of "It's been a big day for me". I'm so happy it has been encouraging to read my timeline and success to date. And yes, it does take some time. I believe it is the exception to make a deal in the first few weeks, but the first few months - very do-able. You have to study and work and network and take action, i.e. make the offers!
I didn't post the amount of profit in my earlier forum topic. I didn't want to sound like I was bragging. But I am convinced now that you will find it of further encouragement and incentive - so here it is:
