How Do I get My Buddy Motivated?

How Do I get My Buddy Motivated?

My bird dog Richard and I did a total of a half dozen deals. Then he went out on his own and flipped a small complex and made $11,000 I was furnishing him with knowledge and even my contracts, advice and encouragement.
But now he's back doing General Contracting since work is picking up. Of course he's struggling with his bills and dealing with customers etc..
I like to send him photos of my checks on every deal and try to get him on a more profitable path. But he seems stuck in that hand to mouth week to week grind. He always seemed to have a bad attitude.
We did a direct mail campaign together and did 4 deals that paid off really well with a great return on investment. However I did 99% of the work, he refuses to learn computer skills and help recruit and manage the letter writing girls. I have also sent him several books on wholesaling and he refuses to read them.
He's a good guy, and I like him, but he seems to lack the motivation.

This year he wanted to start up another profitable campaign, I told him he needed to the more of his share of the work. I purchased a post card system that cranks out post cards in a custom font that looks like it was hand written and uses mail merge to pull each name off your excel lists, but he's unwilling to learn how it works.
It's frustrating trying to get him in gear and up to speed. He's using an old laptop that's slower than a cement tird.
I suggested he get a new computer and take a class on how to use a PC at the local adult night school.
I'm now deep into my mail campaign, if I'm doing 100% of the work, guess who's going to keep all the profit?
I don't mind helping a newbie but I want someone who has a passion and a good attitude.
Let's make some MONEY....

MOTIVATION

Hello Rando1,
You are a 'GREAT SOUL SIR', however, from the looks of it; he has to begin some self-conditioning. That takes time and belief from within as well as support such as people to google like: Dean Graziosi, Eric Thomas, Robin Sharma, Brendon Burchard, Toni Robbins, Jesus, etc.

"You can play him music, but you can't make him dance."

I think opportunity is like a ups or fed-ex carrier.

When they knock, if your not there, they leave a slip.
They might only come once, afterwards, you have to locate them and see what was in the package. That package won't be there for long.


Rando

I've done the same thing over and over trying to HELP others.

They all want to do what I do and make the $$$$$$$, but, they all have excuses on Why they can't or Why they don't have time.

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink"

Wish Everybody a great success in their Real Estate Business


A few things.

What I noticed in my struggle before being successful in real estate is that the majority of people that made something of themselves went through a struggle before hand. When I started questioning that I found a few things that make a lot of sense on what drives what seems to be "natural ambition" or "drive".

1. PURPOSE: You MUST know what you want. Not what you just want to do but what you WANT and it has to be non-materialistic first.

2. SELFLESS: You MUST have someone else you're doing your purpose for. If it's only about you you're toast. You'll barely make it out of bed in the morning. But if you wake up like, "Oh damn I forgot my mom barely could pay her mortgage and might not have groceries this morning, but If I get a $5,000 deal this month that will NEVER happen again!"

3. DEATH: We are all going to die. This is not a practice run or a video game. Once that casket closes that's it. Do you want to be like the billions (literally) of people who died forgotten with no purpose or do you want to be remembered? I don't know about you but I want to be *blanking* REMEMBERED!

Tell your friend these three things and make him sit down and write his thoughts on each one. We all have something we love to do and honestly it might not be real estate. I've had friends come up to me like, "oh adam you're making some good loot nowadays I want to do that!" But then I ask them what they really love to do and usually it's not real estate. If it's not real estate I tell them, "Don't do real estate for real estate if it's not what you love. Do it to FUND what you love and you'll make it through."

Cheers and I hope this helps.
