It’s Wednesday and I’m happy to say I’m right on track with my mailer goals so far. I’ve got 58 letters sitting in my car ready to be mailed out at lunch time. The getting back up to speed part of the week is now over and I’ve got to kick it into high gear if I’m going to get another 150 letters done by Friday evening. I’ve identified two towns that I’m going to pull Out-of-State owner lists from …
A huge part of being a Real Estate Investor is being able to market to potential sellers and buyers. In fact, many may argue that real estate investing is all about marketing whether it be trying to sell yourself to a seller or trying to sell a property to a buyer. If you can’t market you will not be very successful. That is the reason I picked up Seth Godin’s All Marketers are Liars Tell Stories. I became a big …
I’m sure most of you who read my blog already have downloaded the 7 Day Action Plan e-book that Shae Bynes, over at GoodFaithInvesting.com has put together. If you have not, then head on over to her site and fill out the form. I just finished reading through all 17 pages. I must say, Shae really managed to break down the proper way to take action and succeed. I’ve done a lot of research, read many books and experimented with …
I’m back on track with my 1 book a month goal. It helped that I read the book Tribes because it was a very quick read at only 150 pages. I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this book but I’ve heard people rave about most of Seth’s books like Purple Cow so I figured why not. Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin This book is all about leading groups of people that Seth refers …
Maren Kate from Escapingthe9to5.com recommended the book Start with Why by Simon Sinek on her site about a month ago and I’ll pretty much read anything she gives a good word to so I went out a bought it. I’m really starting to enjoy books that are based on human psychology. Being able to understand why people do what they do is mind blowing because in the normal scheme of the world people’s choices make no sense. I mean, why …
I’m off to a great start this year with my goal of reading one book per month. I’ve actually just finished reading my 5th book so I am one ahead of the game. It has been much easier then I could have expected, as I’m really enjoying shutting off the TV and popping open a book. The book I just finished is called Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard (affiliate link) by Chip Heath and Dan Heath. …
Have you ever heard of Sean Stephenson before? I wasn’t really sure who he was when I first heard Julie Broad (from RevNyou.com) talk about reading his book and seeing him at a conference involving the Dali lama. I then had one of those “Wait a sec” moments when I remembered seeing a TLC show featuring this short fella who was bound to a wheelchair. He was going out on a date with this very attractive woman and I couldn’t …
As part of the Flip This Book Club we were required to read Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle (affiliate link) by Jim Rohn. I ordered this book from amazon.com on Jan 13th and it finally got to me on Feb 5th. It is a very short book, 128 pages in all, which allowed me and my snail like reading pace to actually finish the book in a weekend. Just in time to participate in our book club meeting …
I’ve never heard of T Harv Eker before so when Kelly sent me the audio’s for this book I was very surprised at how powerful his messages are. It’s all about the way you think, if you think you are a 9 to 5 cubical worker that is all you will be. T Harv doesn’t blame you for having the money habits you have (at first). It is ingrained into your subconscious by all the childhood messages you get about …
I have always been a proponent of working smarter not harder. I am a computer programmer by trade which really helps me think in terms of automation. Every day in my J.O.B. I analyze situations and try to create a process that can be run with as little human intervention as possible. Nothing annoys me more then having to run an 8 step process, manually, every day or even once a week. So I work hard up front in order …
Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money–That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not! by Robert T. Kiyosaki This is the book that pretty much starts all Real Estate Investors off. I read this book for the first time on my honeymoon..haha. I couldn’t count the number of people who would walk by me while I was reading by the pool and comment about the book. Rich Dad, Poor Dad is all about the …
