It All Began 5 Years Ago Today...

Hi Everyone!

I thought I would send out a post today. It was 5 years ago today that I did my very first real estate deal....I has been a crazy ride!

5 Years ago life was very hard. Basically I had nothing going for me except for the fact that I just wanted more out of life. I was willing to do the work, I just didn't know what work to do.

I was always told that I would always have a car payment, I would always have rent payments, and that I would always be broke.

I really don't know the exact number of deals I have under my belt. Maybe 170? I know that I have closed 10 deals in the last 10 days. I know that I have more money coming in this month than last and the one before that. I know that no one tells me what to do ever. Period.

Winners play hurt.

It wasn't easy--but it wasn't that bad. I would do it all again even if it took twice as long and was twice as hard because the result is absolutely mind boggling. In the last 10 days I have been on a private jet, chartered a private helicopter to fly to the Florida Keys, had dinner at the most exclusive restuarants in Chicago, Miami, and Pheonix. I got hurt along the way. People laughed at me for telling them I would become a real estate millionaire, real estate agents wouldn't work with me, bankers said no, sellers were offended by my offers, and a real estate company in my area started a rumour about me being in a ponzi scheme in order to destroy my good name so that no one would work with me. Those things hurt, but I got up and kept playing because that is what winners do, they just keep playing until they win.

5 years later I am the largest customer in my area at the Lowes Home Improvement and Sherwin Williams. I do more deals than my next 5 top competitors in my area---combined!

By no means have I arrived. I am only 5 years old. Basically I am in my infancy. I have big plans. Huge Dreams. I want to set up a legacy for my kids' grandkids. (I don't have any kids yet-but maybe someday if I find a woman that can put up with me LOL)

This is only the beginning my friends. I haven't reached the destination. It is only the end of the beginning.

My 5 year anniversary gift to myself was a brand new Rolex Daytona. They are very hard to find. In fact, I couldn't find one so I called Rolex directly and they started production on my watch today! Ironic? I think not!

Go out there and take on the world!!! No one can stop you if you just won't be denied!!!

Get it done!
