OfflineI got Dean's books and opened the box on Sunday, February 14, 2010. I read the first book then completed the next on 2/17 (last night). I thought I would never do this again but something about Dean and his info got me to call
I have tried RE investing twice before and failed. However, someone told me I will fail only if i do not get up again, so here i am. I am hoping that with the help of the DG team, i will make it this time.
I am writing this journal to keep me motivated and on target because of my fear of failure. I want to succeed but very fearful.
I have been reading the posts and grateful for all the information and encouragement from all.
Plans for today
1. Look up ads in the newspaper in my neighborhood.
2 Call my old Realtor to see if she will be willing to work with me with these strategies.
Greetings,
You started again and remember anything worthwhile is gonna be tough. Welcome to our family. Read my posting, The Knots Prayer.
Peace and Blessings,
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.”
- Nelson Mandela
Wealthy Blessing Thanks for the Knots Prayer. I read it and will keep it with me. Thanks for your welcome. I love your name.
I drove to Atlanta this weekend (from VA) to a family function and it was good to socialize. I did not tell many in my family that I am back in REI but got 4 names that i will be sending Dean's website to. I did not want to hear the negativity. I also got the LLC information from my relative so i will open my account next week.
I will be traveling to IN and KY so will be busy until Friday doing my JOB. My Fl Realtor is sending me listings but i have no made an offer as yet.
Lord keep me motivated.
I traveled last week for my job and did not have time to do much of anything except look at my emails. maybe I stepped away so my momentum is off but i am back to reading more of what people are posting and trying to figure out what my niche is.
My Florida Realtor says she cannot get involved with double closing nor assigns. We had discussed this strategy earlier but based on what her title company told her she is not for it now. I will have to look around for another Realtor with a more creative mindset as I am working on getting a company to do proof of fund with same day funding
I got my LLC papers but now i am rethinking about opening an account with BB&T. I will be looking for a community bank as they may be more likely to do business with me in the future.
Lord, I need your help to get back me back in the REI investing mindset.
I have to slow down some what on my REI because of family and job (budget season) but I am still doing some thing at least weekly.
HAPPENINGS!
I went to a new REIA and joined this one.
I have signed up to become a realtor dealing primarily with selling to investors I will be investing too. I hope it will give me some quick cashflow
I met a person today who lives in the same city as i so we will be RE buddies. She also works 2 blocks on the same street. How coincidental is that!
I found a new CPA which i know will be more understanding of what i want to accomplish. I am getting my team together.
A friend wants to buy a property at a discount in NYC. I will be sending out a request to the Realtors there.
I am still pugging away and not given up. Thank you DC family for being there.
