April 24, 2009 - The Day that Started it All!

April 24, 2009 - The Day that Started it All!

....I can't believe it has been a year already! How time flys! April 24, 2009 was only one year ago and can you believe that one day can have such a significant effect on the rest of your life? My wife Stacey and I had recently purchased Dean's book the month prior and received a call about Dean's Gain the EDGE Live Event 09! We were so excited to hear about Dean's EDGE event because we finished reading his book several times. We wanted to go to the event but we did not have the money. We talked about it for a few days and then decided we had to do this. As Dean often as stated "if you don't take action with real estate and do this now, then what when?"

We knew we had to take action and do whatever we could to get to the event. We had so many reasons why we should not go but realized the reasons we had to find a way to go. We departed Chicago and headed west toward Phoenix. We landed at Sky Harbor Aiprot and we on our way to the hotel. We knew we had to register and check-in on Friday night so before we check-in we stopped off at Claim Jumpers Restaurant and had a great meal.

We checked into our hotel and then got ready to register later that night at the Gain the EDGE 09 event. As we left our room, we saw a hotel worker that inquired if we would like a ride on a golf cart to get us where we were going. We gladly accepted the ride, even though I could have probably used the exercise. Smiling

We checked into the EDGE 09 event and there was such an excitement and buzz in the air. We said hello to many of the people and then sat quietly at a table and we wanted to enjoy the moment and a few diet pepsis. We received our material for the EDGE conference and eagerly went through them. That night we could not sleep in anticipation of the BIG EVENT. We were up before sunrise and arrived at the event early. The next 2 days were jam packed with so many tips, techniques and startegies that we could not sleep the next 2 nights as well thinking about our action plan. The EDGE event exceeded my expectations in only the first few hours.

We left the event with an action plan and decided to expand the action plan on the 4 hour plane ride home. We got home took action and could not believe how empowered we felt from Dean's Gain the EDGE Event 09. It had changed our lives forever.

Can one day make a difference in your life? You bet it can! Will this be your year? Will May 21-23, 2010 change your life....forever? Hope to see you at Dean's Gain the EDGE 2010! We'll be the ones from Indiana at a table drinking the Diet Pepsi! We can't wait! Believe and Achieve! Smiling - Joe and Stacey

Joe & Stacy

Hey, Joe and Stacy! Thanks for letting us know it's only been a year since you started your attack on the Real Estate opportunities in rural Indiana. It puts that fire back in my confidence that I can be like Indiana Joe & Stacy. I will get the op. to meet you two at the EDGE.
When I tell people where I grew up I always say it like you do: "in a small town between Chicago and Indianapolis". Yes, I am an Indiana Jo with no "e" Smiling I grew up in Newton county but I've lived in Denver for over 20 years.
Congratulations on your great successes in a place where small thinking people would not believe you could achieve what you two have. Especially in just one year!! WOW !!
Your enthusiasm and positive attitude is contagious.
Also, Indiana Joe, thanks for spending so much time on this site helping others.
Happy Spring!
Jo Gibson, Right Time Enterprises, Denver, Colorado


Sandra,

Thanks for stopping by and all the well wishes we really appreciate it. It is nice to have such a wonderful friend as yourself and we enjoy reading your posts. We look forward to meeting you in the future either at an upcoming EDGE event or if we make it out to the East coast. Keep up the good work and we look forward to hearing about your future deals (with real estate and Craigslist/eBay!)! Believe and Achieve! Smiling Your friends, - Joe and Stacey

Joe & Stacey

Thanks so much for the motivation. Knowing that it was only 1 year ago for you both is a tremendous feat and that anything's possible. Congratulations to you both! It makes me realize and believe as you say that my life too will be different 1 year from now. I have my first assignment deal closing this Fri hopefully (no time as far as I know yet). I signed up for the Edge as well. But I do know for me you can get all the information in the world and it doesn't matter unless you take ACTION! like you and Stacey both did. I am on the journey to freedom and not just financial. Thank you for all you do.


Oh forgot name

Thanks again! And to many more successes to you!
Cathy


Cathy,

Thanks for the nice comments, we appreciate it. Congratulations on your first assignment deal. It has to be really exciting. Anytime we do a deal we always like to celebrate with a nice dinner at a local restaurant. Sometimes the first deal is the most important to really get you going. We are glad to hear you are coming to the EDGE because it can be such a life changing event. We look forward to meeting you at the EDGE. Good luck on all your current and future deals! Believe and Achieve! Smiling - Joe
