It's time! You better be putting yourself in those uncomfortable situations!

JOe,

Thanks for posting this! After attending one of Dean's Live 3-day workshops, the BIGGEST thing that has impacted me from that has been the importance of MINDSET! I hadn't realized how POWERFUL and CRUCIAL that was to moving forward! I used to be so scared of picking up the phone and making a call! I would hide behind only email and wondered why I couldn't get deals to go through! This time around, I am noticing that as my mind is focused on what it needs to, I approach any and every task as "why not!" I am no longer scared of talking on the phone, etc and am finding that I naturally am gaining more confidence as I talk more and more and things flow much better!

I am scheduled to look at 5 houses today with direct home owners, planning on getting them under contract!

You just have to GO FOR IT! Because the way I see it, I have nothing to lose! What I've been doing until now has gotten me these results, so if I want something BETTER, I have to DO SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY!! I am the one that can change the outcome!! Not acting based on emotion is key! Just because it FEELS uncomfortable or scary, doesn't mean I can't do it! ACTING IN SPITE of that feeling of fear, is exactly what fuels me and raises my confidence as I come out on the other side unharmed!

SUCCESS STORY COMING SOON!!!!

THOUGHTS---->WORDS----->ACTIONS

KNOWLEDGE is NOT power; IMPLEMENTED KNOWLEDGE IS!

You are right!!!!! That phone was about 450-500 lbs but I did a few push ups and some dumb bell curls and just went for it!!! Now we have 2 big hitters in our buyer bucket and we are out pounding the pavement in an effort to lock some homes under contract to flip and make some $$$!!!! Keep on posting Joe, your words help keep us steadily walking/running on line!!!!!

You are so right that mindset is so important for the confidence of the real estate investor. When the investor is in the right mindset, they can accomplish and do the tasks that we all need to do to take action and get deals rolling. Good luck on the 5 houses. Keep up the good work. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Glad to hear you have been making the calls and have a few buyers, keep up the great work. Each day can bring new opportunities for you. Things continue to get easier everyday as you continue to build your business. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Thanks again for some timely and important useful ideas and suggestions. I always appreciate that you take the time to put something new out for the DG family.

Thanks again,
Patrick

Hi Joe- I'm glad we came across this post! We read & re-read, watch & re-watch & sometimes we get so frustrated. And then we find this post, which made us realize how very simple it all is when you really look at it. And you made us laugh-you have a way with words!
So we gotta Go! Go! Go! Go! !
Thanks for all that you guys take the time out to do-you really give us the lift that we need & possibly the kick in the butt, too!

So True!! So True!!! Wonderfull !!!
Get on the Ball and keep rolling to true happiness.

So true! After attending one of Dean's live training workshops I realize more than EVER in my life how crucial MINDSET is! If your mind is focused on what your mission is, you will ACT on it regardless of how uncomfortable you may feel because it is something perhaps new to you. I learned from one of the mentors that if you feel scared to do something (call an agent, place an offer, place an ad, etc) it's good! it's normal! DO IT ANYWAY! As you do, you face your fear and realize that the 'worst' that could happen, was really not worth getting scared about and your confidence grows!

Hey you couldnt of said it better!!!!!!, "you dont grow in old tired soil" reach out to where the eagles fly the view is awesome, have a wonderful day Joe, sincerely, Jim ( we may get down at some point in time at this but get a spring and and contract it down and sit on it and release the catch and you will be flying back and ready to go again, its called resilience, determination, focus, ride the waves do what ever it takes in all honesty and keep your eyes on the prize and it will soon happen you will reap the rewards of your labors) Ieve been with alot of programs but they were nothing like this and to say Dean and his team( which I want to be part of soon)dont give value is truely and understatement, this is awesome and so are this DGer family and there helpful advice and encouragement, lets continue to move forward and to continue to conquer and not be defeated in helping others to solve problems with there properties and to add value to every thing we endever( sp) to do with our livers and to make this world a better place for all, happy investing all!!!!! )

Thanks for the comments. It is true that sometimes as investors we all have troubler seeing the trees through the forest. i am glad my words have helped you. Often, it is nice to know that other investors out there have some ofthe same challenges as we all do. The best way to learn is by doign and sharing. Good luck with your future deals. I look forward to reading about your progress. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Thanks for the comments. It is true that we can achieve if we stay focused and on track. Good luck. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Thank you for the post. As you had said, it is so critical to keep facing your fear and moving forward. By doing what you need to, you will open up new opportunities for yourself and your real estate business. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Hi Joe,

Thanks for all you do on this site. So much of what you say is accurate, and for me the mindset has been one of the most difficult to overcome - but I'm getting there. I freely admit that there are things I've let one of my partners (and sons) handle because I'm scared to do them. Today we closed our first contract and will get our first payday at the end of the month! This buyer also gave us a verbal committment on the other two houses we are processing contracts on. And guess what? All we did was what our Boots On The Ground coaches said. To be honest we haven't gotten all we've been told to do done, but we're getting there! One of those coaches was you Joe! So thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hello Joe and Stacey,
You are right noting most people experience fear to start implementing the strategies taught in DG's real estate educational tools. This has been the case with three people (including myself) since we attended the first seminar.

I come from a long line of impulsive family members so I have been ready to jump, run, and GO! since I heard and spent the money, but for some reasons dawdled.
Now I am up and in the race, tagging my relay members as well.
Thanks,
Susan

Thanks for the post with your additional words of wisdom and motivation. It is so true that we need to everyday spring into action and have "resilience, determination, focus, ride the waves do what ever it takes in all honesty and keep your eyes on the prize". Keep up the good work and soon those deals will continue to roll in. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Thank yo uso much for your post and your kind words, we really appreciate it. It is great that you are gettign that real estate investor mindset. It was a pleasure working with you at the Boots on the Ground event in November 2012. Congratulations on getting your first contract. This is always so exciting! The first deal can sometimes be the most difficult. I am so happy for you, Josh and Joe. Keep up the good work. I look forward to reading about your continued progress and future real estate deals. Believe and Achieve! - Joe

Keep that passio nand burnign desire moving you forward. If you keep jumping, running ang going you will find great deals. Keep building that power team and leveraging all of those resources. You can do it! Believe and Achieve! - Joe

This is extremely true!!! If we are not happy with our situation in life we have to change and that usually means getting out of our comfort zone. This was probably one of the hardest things to do when I first started. The biggest hurdle I had to overcome was my lack of knowledge. I felt very insecure and nervous about not being able to answer peoples questions. However, I quickly realized that the knowledge was probably one of the easiest things to come by. In fact, the best way to get knowledge is by doing.

So just like Mr. Indiana said…get uncomfortable and go do something productive!!!

Thanks for the reply and additional input. Believe and Achieve! - Joe
