It All Began 5 Years Ago Today...

on your accomplishments. You are a great example why people should never quit on their dream.

If it took you 5 yrs getting to this point then hopefully, well I don't like to hope so if everything goes as planned I will get there less than 5 years for sure! Thanks Matt for everything! and I'll see you at the top!

Great story, Matt. Continued success.

You have set a great example of what can be accomplished by staying focused even when the naysayers are all around you. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Congrats Matt

I think what you have accomplished is amazing, and you deserve that Rolex.

I never quit either, I've been knocked down a few times but some how I keep coming back. I just hope this will be the last time.

Again congrats, and enjoy life we only get one shot at it.

We are all understandably in constant of awe of you and your success and are aiming to get there in any way we can and to get to whatever point we define as success.

Here is a new goal for me:

Five years from today, I'll fly out to Cabo San Lucas to have a beer with you (and your wife, maybe!). I'm buying.

Our toast; "To getting it done!"

You are an inspiration to all of us! Keep it going!

Thanks,
Chad Provost

You are such an inspiration to all of us! To hear how far you've come in 5 years is incredible! I will be there with you in a couple of years! You are the great example of the outcome we can ALL have if we work at it and fight past adversities! Way to go MATT!!!! Here's to your next $20 Million.

I don;t know if you remember are not, But my two year anniversary is just around the corner when you made your trip to Bethany MO. Not only have you succeeded in the REI world, But look at what you gave Julie and I. I told her when you pulled out of the driveway their goes one Hell of a guy And the sky is the limit. I may have been sick when you was their but everything we talk about did stick. What you gave me is priceless and is something you didn't have to do. And this is the reason i try to give back. So Matt your legacy is already being passed on in more ways than you know. If someone had told me i would be were I am at today I would have told them they were crazy. I still remember the pie you drew At toot toots. And yes I am working on every little peace of the pie just like you said. Hope to see you around more. Hope to have my 100 deal by march, Maybe we can meet up and it will be my turn to take you anywhere you want to eat. Hope thing keep going well for you, And-NO its not luck but a lot of hard work. THINKS FOR EVERTHING MATT

You are seriously one of the biggest inspirational students on this website. I look forward to meeting you at the EDGE this year or next! (I might be on vacation during this years, depending on the date) Keep it up! Can't wait to see what else you can accomplish

Congratulations Matt! Wow only 5 years and look how your life has changed! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being who you are because that's why you are where your are now. After seeing you in the videos and reading your exerpts in Dean's books I know why you are so successful; you just have it in you. Your drive, determination and confidence are what's inspiring about you, not just your success. I love to listen to you because I enjoy your thought process and how you go about doing your deals. Your go getter attitude is awesome! Of course I didn't know you before but you appear to carry yourself with such pride and confidence, and I'm sure that's somewhat new. But it's something about you that makes us all want to be like you. So congratulations again, keep it up! I look forward to seeing what your next accomplishment will be.
Best Wishes, Allison

will come or go...regardless.
You could have made excuses and let the "hurt" beat you down and you could have pretty much stayed where you were. Five years.
But you chose not to.

Thank you for sharing this post!

I think that "Happy Birthday" might be an even more appropriate salute!

Thank you for sharing your huge success with us and making us KNOW that we too can do it!

I saw one of your interview with Dean. I was encouraged by your honesty. You shared so much information so freely, that I too am a big fan. When will your System be coming out? Hope soon.

wow matt thank you so much for sharing that. It was just what I needed to keep going. Seriously amazing thanks again for sharing a part of your life with us all here on DG.com.

If you can do it after getting a bad name then I know we absolutely can. I will keep pushing.

Matt, I have always appreciated you posts on this site. Your attitude toward being successful as a real estate investor has been inspirational. It is amazing what you have accomplished in only 5 years. 10 deals in 10 days that is unbelievable success.

I appreciate your toughness and never quit attitude. I am taking your advice and never quitting. I have numerous offers in and still working to develop a buyers list. I will see you at Edge 2011.

Looking forward to learning more about your success. Thanks for all your support of the DG family.

Cheers

Matt,
Thanks for that. I needed that after today you see
my wife and I found out we are having another miscarriage.
I decided tonight I'm tired of being where I'm at, I'm tired
of being scared. Matt I have told Dean that I wanted to become
my dad him and you. I think your story is amazing and I too feel
like Im in an apt and facing so many obstacles. I said tonight that's
it tonight is the night I stop being scared of success like I won't have
that bad story to hold onto if I succeed. I'm miore scared of losing that
story that I fear the knew one you know? Thank you for your look your words
of inspiration and accountability, I needed it!
Thanks again,

Shawn Downey

First, happy Veteran's Day to those who served or are serving for this county and for allowing me to do what I can today, thanks. Second, Matt, I can't type what I want to say. It has been a pleasure knowing you(virtually through Dean)and thanks for the inspiration to fight for tomorrow; with a 19 month old baby girl, she is the "WHY" in my life...I got to go, I need to continue working so I can get where you are at before my daughter start school...thanks buddy, "live with passion"

Nice post. Very inspiring. Always glad to hear from you on this site.
