You can do real estate with so much free information to help you!

Stacey love that postive attitude you and Joe have, today is better than yesterday, tomorrow will better than today.We have to look at the end results where are we heading and how quick do we want to get there.Stay on the WHYs, stay busy on the plan, focus,focus,focus and dont take your eye off the goal.We cant one quarter then miss the next because we want to watch the cheerleaders take to the floor and forget the game, we play 4 solid quarters, we play that over and over each day and when we are in the game totally we make the points( deals). We may have to change the game plan from time to time but we play 4 solid quarters and we play to win, either we are in the game or we are not, when we are in we dont loose the focus we are in and dont see outside distractions, we dont have time to, we are completely in tune to the game.When you do all this you dont have time slow down and look around, we play our hearts out and we have fun.We practice and follow through on our game plan each day we play and we play hard.Work the deals and the end result will come.Maybe our team needs to add better players with different talents to help the team move forward, maybe we expect to score without playing the game, we have to play the game, when one thing may not work we try another play, not all defenses are the same we may half to mix up the plays to win the game( different deals mean different solutions to met the situations to get the deal through).Have fun and play ball every day you and play hard, have fun and dont quit, much success, Jim

Well said!!

I'm a fellow Floridian and a newbie here. I have checked out your profiles and would really like y'all to check out mine. I live in Palatka and will be working in the St Augustine and Jacksonville areas primarily. I'll keep this short and end with; I love my newly adopted DG family! Duane

I feel like that couple..I have enough knowledge to make things happen in REI, I just don't DO enough. I'm not consistent, fear holds me back, the daily grind gets in the way..I ask myself, How bad do ya want it? These are my struggles. Maybe I'll join your club.

This is very true and I see it a lot. I was recently at a Tax Lien Training and 70% of the room was in their 50's or older and there were quite a few people I met who would say things like, "Oh I'm so excited for this and can't wait to do a deal. I've heard about real estate 5 years ago and figured now's the time to do something! :D" and it made me a little sad and happy for them because on one hand I'm thinking, 'freakin' A I wonder how long they've been saying that.." but on the other hand I'm thinking, "At least they never quit!" and couldn't find a happy medium.

This business is so simple it's ridiculous. We're in the marketing and sales business above all else. Forget the rehab, property management, and even the debt side of the business. If you can't find deals and negotiate them (sales) then nothing else works. All those other avenues are crucial too but deals are what make it happen and whenever I see people feeling all down about this business I say, "FOCUS ON DEALS AND ALL YOUR TROUBLES WILL GO AWAY." With big eyes too. I've only spent maybe $1,995 or so in my education because I've always found someone I can learn from by doing even if I had to work for free. Talk about speed. Fast and the Furious baby!

I also enjoyed reading your post. It is always great to be able to work with positive upbeat people. So many real estate investors need that motivation, encouragement and drive to keep going. I was a Cheerleader in High School and College. I believe a cheer from others can help propel people to keep going forward. Have a great day. - Stacey

Have a great day. - Stacey

We are always looking at networking with others. Joe was just in Jacksonville 2 weeks ago visiting some real estate friends. Joe is also on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and he has a You Tube Channel as well. Maybe we can network in the future. Welcome to the DG website. - Stacey

The key to this business is trying to stay motivated and getting things done each day. Even if you only do 1 thing a day that will be 100 things after 100 days. You are right about asking how bad do you want this? That is the key is you stay focused and determined you can do things you thought you might not be able to do. Go make it a great day. As Joe, my husband, always says - Believe and Achieve! Have a great day. - Stacey

Thank you for sharing your insight and observation. Often it is not what someone might pay for the education but what they do with it when they get it. There is so much free great content here on DG.com, Google and You Tube. No matter where someone is starting they can get to where there want to be by putting in some time and effort. A goal for everyone reading this is find 10 pieces of FREE information that will help you in the next 30 days with your real estate business. Have a great day. - Stacey

Thanks Stacey,
Great words of encouragement.
Sometimes its hard to stay motivated and life will sometimes through us some curves, but I try and stay the course and stick with the plan and move forward.
Every day is another step toward success. One step at a time, I'll get there.

I would love to network with y'all, I'm sure we'll have more conversations in the future. I'm amazed at all I've learned here, and for a total investment of $ 20 so far! Unbelievable! Thank y'all so much DG family!! Duane
