no longer scared to succeed(rob clays'journal)

I like how you added your name to your journal name so I am adopting the idea. "My new life- StudentScott's journal" will be my journal's new name.

Scott

i've been snowed in in no internet land for days.finally got out today and came to check my messages and update my progress.w/o internet i have plenty of time to read my books. just got finished reading about greg murphy in the new book.awesome is all i can say.i'm so excited to be moving forward and can't wait to get my first deal done.
i have found quite a few properties but no buyers as yet.rob

thanks for the onfo about mcdonalds and the wifi,but i'm out on a point of land with a mile long drive that keeps getting deep drifts.i had the local farmer clear the lane with a dozer this morning so i could get some food and hit the dg site.we have to have priorities haha.rob

p.s.i'll hopefully be back in a few days cya,rob

You had it in you the whole time, Rob. We all just needed the Right encouragement to get over whatever we fear.

I still hate snakes, though.

fear of something new is in all of us.
i had a man tell me when i was a young boy that fear is natural.being a man is about putting that fear aside and doing what you need to do.
i must've forgotten that statement until i just got tired of being broke,now i promise i'll never stop moving ahead even when the fear comes.
i haven't done my first deal yet but i'm thinking different now.now fear is being replaced with the joy of knowing my future is going to be brighter this year.

p.s.i'm ok with snakes as long as i see them haha.rob

called on a few investors looking to get out of the rental business.
one has 16 properties with a couple in an area that seems to be dead but if i can get a package deal?
continuing to read my books while trying to move forward with investing.
read greg murphy and the jureks deals and i have to say i'm really pumped.
i'm trying to do a quick flip to get the money together for edge tickets.rob

just got my phone service tonight i'll set it up and be ready for some signage tomorrow.moving forward,rob

Were going to have a blast at the EDGE event. YES, you WILL be there.period

thanks for your optimism about the edge event,yes i wanna meet there.hey,i want to look into joining your real estate club hopefully later on today i'll click on it.rob

still working on my phone system and reading the your town book.so far my favorites are still greg murphy and the jureks.set up my pre foreclosure message but haven't gotten my others figured out yet.lol it took me about 40 takes to get that one done.keep moving forward.rob

going to my first court auction today in search of building my buyerrs list.will let you know how it goes.rob

went to my first auction yesterday and the auctioneer didn't have the numbers from the finance co. so no auction. i had gone to try to build my buyers list,unfortunately there was only one bidder there and she wasn't an investor per se. she was only looking for that one property, however i talked to the auctioneer who is also a realtor and got his card to get more info on upcoming auctions so not a total loss.in my mind it wouldn't have been a total loss anyway because i've started taking action.i have one more 3 home auction to go to today in search of more buyers.watch me fly,rob

if there is anyone out there who has a little extra cash i need someone to get tickets for the upcoming event for myself and my wife so she can see more of what i'm trying to do.i'd gladly pay a small premium for the privelage,i'm simply afraid i won't be able to scrape the money together before the tickets sell out and i can't stand the thought of waiting another year to see my short term goal of attending this year come to pass or believe me i'd never ask for help.like i said i feel this event is extremely important to my investing career and i'd gladly pay a premium for the priveledge.thanks,rob

talked w/a mortgage broker yesterday and he's supposed to email minimum criteria for my buyers today.rob

Congra! I am happy for you and stick with your goal. Make sure you ask the DG family whenever you any question. Stick with this website though.

i believe it's vitally important to stick to and adjust your goals if necessary. my motto is keep moving forward.you're not always going to go as fast as you'd like but be diligent and good things will come to pass.rob

Thanks Rob reading all these responses to your journal has made me feel better about getting started. Im a little lucky I have friends in the realestate bussiness and am able to get surport and leads and .....thanks again philbenice

i'm happy for you to benefit from my journal.visit others also.being new to the game myself i'll tell you there's alot of better info on here than i'm giving out but we'll learn together.rob

just had a realtor call me that i talked to about a month ago cocerning an investor who had multiple properties.at the time the seller wasn't wanting to be creative in any way so i walked politely away.it seems his needs have changed,i know he needs some cash right away but haven't gotten all the particulars yet.i'll be metting with the realtor tomorrow to view the properties and find out what it'll take to make this deal.meanwhile,i'm STILL working on my phone system.rob

doing comps on properties from investor and meeting realtor tomorrow.hoping to make a killer package deal but if it isn't good i'm walking,too many deals out there to get caught up on something that isn't a good fit.will update tomorrow.rob

reading your town book and doing comps for the first of the week meeting with realtor concerning package deal

Hey rob

Thaought you had your meeting allready was checking in to see how you made out. Lets us all know how you do were all pulling for you

yes i was supposed to meet with the realtor last week but it had to be postponed.he did however send me all his listings for this investor so i can get my comps done before we meet.i was supposed to dso a webinar tonight with some fellow dg'ers but couldn't get through when the time came.oh well,what's meant to be will be.thanks for the visit,rob

still working on my phone system and my craigs list ads today.i need to get all my extensions set up before i place my ads.my first extension for pre fors took about 40 takes and i'm still not satisfied lol but i'd already sent out letters with my number so i had to get that one in.yes, i'll make getting these things done my goals for today.rob

went to look at 2 properties yesterday.one looks promising,i should find out about it by tonight.continuing to work on my phone system.i swear it's like watching paint dry but i know it's neccesary.will update later,rob

working on my your neighborhood book tonight,will have to work on the phone messages after the kids go to sleep.keep moving forward,rob

i know they have to be here somewhere but i can't seem to find these phone scripts.ie:for buyers sellers pre fors etc.any help would be appreciated,rob

hey rob hope all is well i think the script you want is at www.deangraziosi.com/24hourscript hope that works when your done with yours please pm with your number I would like to hear yours Im hoping to get my 800 numbers next week???? I hope ..... well hope tht helps philbenice

thanks for the info.i have that one bookmarked though.the ones i'm talking about are for different people.ie:not just sellers but buyers pre forclosures,fsbo's etc.i'm just having a mental block right now when it comes to the recordings.it seems everytime i try to do one,i'll do multiple takes and still can't stand the sound of my voice lol thanks again,rob

i've come to the conclusion that trying to read AND grasp all 3 books i have is info overload.wouldn't you know that deans' newest book is the one i'm farthest into so i've decided to finish this book first.as far as this sight goes i'm appreciative of all the support i recieve on here and i feel truly blessed and thankful for all of my dg family that visits me.thank you thank you.i feel this site is very important to keep my focus so i won't be leaving here any time soon lol you'll just have to run me away hehe.on a serious note i believe that people get distracted by other things instead of concentrating on what brought all of us to this sight in the first place,THE BOOKS!!! i guess i'm just feeling as if i'm actually slowing myself down by not spending the maximum amount of time reading my books.i have made my goal to lock up 2 properties by the end of march,and even though i have a terrible a.d.d. problem i will read all books first and as many times as it takes.i will also follow carol stinsons' advice to me (do it scared).thanks carol and all here that visit my journal,rob
