Hello Everyone!

I received my first call from the Bandit signs I put out early this morning.
Lesson: DEAN'S SYSTEM WORKS IF I WORK IT.

Put out 8 bandit signs. Recuperated 3. Received 1 phone call. Next Friday I am putting up 16. Will expect to get back 6 and receive two phone calls.
Tomorrow is the big day. I will be at my first REI meeting at the GAREIA. I am expecting to talk to at least 10 cash buyers with whom I will build a strong relationship.

What the mind of man conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.

I made it back to the GAREIA meeting. It was great and wonderful. It is powerful to talk to people who are making deals and who look at you in the eyes and say I am doing it, you can do it.
I talked to 12 people. I offer to volunteer at the meetings to help. The law of attraction says anything you put out comes right back to you. I need help, Ineed to provide that very help first. Here is the deal though. I am not helping beccause I am expecting to be helped back, but I am doing it because it makes me happy and it is the right thing to do.

GREAT JOB. YOU HAVE SET GOALS AND YOU ARE STICKING TO THEM YAY!!!
It is nice to see you posting your successes keep it up!

As you get calls back you need to track them so you will know what areas pull the most leads from your signs, you dont want to waste your signs in bad areas. If a sign does not pull any leads them move it to another area. The last time i put out sings i put out 14 and got about 250 calls in a week and lost 2 signs.

keep up the good work

Thank you Donna. I am learning now that big successes are a collection of little ones. Or rather now that I am ready, I do understand that. One field goal consistently at a time.
Thank you for your support Donna.

Thank you very much Spellbound for that advice. I am grateful to be part of this family of succes and results-minded achievers.
Thank you much.

Another call from the bandits signs. So Spellbound, I followed your advice and asked where the sign was. She told me the location. She was looking for a lease or rental. I told her SHE WILL BE HELPED. I will contact the investors and landlords I met at the GAREIA, to provide them with her information, to help them. Everything counts. Every is coming to full circle! Again my motto is "the more people I help get what they want, the faster and easily I would get what I need and want."
The first call from the sign says she is an investor and wants me to call her tomorrow. I do strike the iron when it is hot. Learn that from Bobby Marley.
I am calling her tomorrow at 7PM. I am rehearsing, practicing the scripts like crazy. The game is on! The game is fun! Someone wisely said, there is NO WAY TO HAPPINESS. HAPPINESS IS THE WAY.
I am enjoying it! seems like as long as you are ready, things are falling into place! Did I just here someone say THE LAW OF ATTRACTION?
Goals for tomorrow:
1. Send a thank you email for those investors I met at the GAREIA for their time and let them know that I am here to HELP THEM GET WHAT THEY WANT. WHY? Because the more people I help get what they want, the more will help me get what I want. The Law of reciprocity. As you sow, so shall you reap!
2. Buy 30 more signs and a new huge marker.
3. Send my daily appreciation text to the six most precious women in my life.
My wife, my mother, my mother-in-law, my sister and my two beautiful daughters to pretty soon be hired by the company.
4. Check to see how Brodie, the Little Man is doing.
5. Sit next to my mother-in-law during her chemotherapy and make her laugh and happy. Give her the gift of myself.
I love you as my family. I am in GA, precisely in Lawrenceville and I am an educator soon to become a full-time Real Estate Investor.
If there is anything I can do to help ANYONE over here, please let me know. I am at the service of many!

GOAL 1* Sending a thank you email to the Investors at GAREIA 90%
GOAL 2*Buying Bandit Signs: 90% bought 20 instead of thirty because I forgot
GOAL 3*Sending my daily appreciation to the loved women in my life. Missed 0%
Will catch up tomorrow with two messages.
GOAL 4* checking on Brodie, Dean's son 100%
GOAL 5 Sitting next to my mother in law. 95% she fell asleep but I did give off of myself even in her sleep.

Put 10 bandit signs out!

Did not put up the 10 signs. Will put up 5 on early Saturday morning.
Goal 50%

When the opportunity clock went off(as Zig Ziglar called the "alarm Clock"), I went out.
Put my five signs out and as it happens any time you take action, I saw an investor's "buying home"signs right out there. You guess what I did. His number is going straight. on my buyer's list and he or she will be thoroughly screened.
Today is a BIG DAY! My mother-in-law is receiving her last infusion of chemotherapy. My wife and I will be right there, and after we will celebrate.
I make some calls and study some Dean later on this evening.

Keep it up!!!!

Thank you CDR4HSV.

You are headed in the right direction. Keep pushing yourself

You are really an encouraging force. Thank you.

You are doing what it takes to get that first deal closed. When that one is closed it will be on..NOW GO GET SOME...

Thank you! really encouraging. You guys make me accountable. There is no way I will slow down.

Yesterday, contacted the person whose "I buy houses" was next to me. He has flooded the are with his signs. He is not my competition, but rather my ally. I operate from the abundance mindset and not scarcity. I asked some screening questions and I liked what I heard. We will meet some time next week to have lunch.
I also finally talked to an investor lady who called on my sign last week. I collected her information and screened her.
Tonight I am collecting my bandit signs.
I can see that real estate is becoming part of my daily thinking.
i will also call the investors I met at the GAREIA on Monday. Why? to be present on their mind until the next meeting.

As I post on a daily basis, I can see that this is becoming part of me. I have 12 more days to establish some new neurons in my brain and this will be automatic. Maxwell Maltz and many other psychologists say it takes 21 days for a new habit to form.
Anyway, I did talk and screen the "investors" I met at the GAREIA. We are all investors, right? Some have no clue what they are talking about.
When it comes to training, Dean is the best! I am learning so much here and at the Success Academy that the ONLY true barrier or brake on my success is that guy I see EVERY MORNING in my mirror!
I have called them and asked some key questions as I am trained to do by the Boss's Academy(Dean).
I am so pumped up right now.
I called twelve I think three are Really doing the business.
I am going to work on the 30 day action plan that Dean mentioned. I have a week break coming up I will go to my Lessons at the Success Academy and focus on...on...DRUM ROLLS: MY FIRST DEAL. IT is really weird and strange how I feel confident to say it. It is done!

I am growing! I feel it1
I got two phone calls today from investors I called, telling me clearly that " I am their guy" because they see that I committed to this! Thanks to my God and TO DEAN (my new Boss) AND TO ALL OF YOU! Especially Donna Doo, Spellbound, CDR4HSV and keb64.
I am clearly flushing out my schedule in order to see the time I have to go for my first deal.
I have twenty more signs to write on tomorrow and Thursday.
Tomorrow at 5:15 I am putting some ghost ad on different free ad webs.
I am going to do the few things from the weekly wisdom and apply them.

You are doing great with staying positive and keeping yourself motivated. AWESOME!!

Giving back is a win-win because it is the right thing to do-it is empowering...AND good things come back to you like you said.

Keep doing what you're doing

Thank you very much John and Julie. I will keep on keeping on. As Les Brown said :"It is not over until it is over on my terms."
Again, thank you.

"Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” Winston Churchill.
Today was one of those days where everything seems not to go according to plans. I have learned to look at these kinds of days and take them in compartments. It is not the whole day. It is portions of the day that go, not according to plan. Before, if something went wrong at 6:00AM, I would say, Oh what a bad day! Now I know better and I speak the language of success. It is not the whole day, nor the whole hour, not even the whole 30minutes. Things, perceived bad things happen in a split of a second and we drag them based on our poorly sad programming.
I woke up this morning thinking about mistakes of the past. I dwelt on them and snapped out of it very quick.
Driving to work, I had a phone conversation that hit me very hard. Again I snapped out of it.
Later on at the school, there is an emergency meeting, because some teachers have gotten lax on discipline and seem like the kids are out of hand.
One of my student goes to the gym, feels a pain in the chest, has hard time breathing, ambulances are called and he is gone all day. Tried to reach home, no news.
It has been a tough day. I believe in the law of polarity. The Law of Polarity states that "everything has an opposite. Hot-Cold, Light-Dark, Up-Down, Good-Bad. In the absense of that which you are not, that which you are… is not. Polar opposites make existence possible. If what you are not didn’t coexist with what you are, then what you are could not be. Therefore, do not condemn or criticize what you are not or what you don’t want. How to apply it: Look for the good in people and situations. What you focus on, you make bigger in your life."
So what did I learn today. How did I grow today? I stood my ground despite adversity. I read my Bible. I logged on four times to the DG website. I offered help. I laughed and was grateful that I have learned how to face adversity, how to seek for the seed of opportunity in any adversity.
I am still working on my thirty day plan and flushing out my schedule.
NOTHING, NOTHING WILL PREVENT ME FROM DOING WHAT I AM SET OUT TO DO: MY FIRST DEAL!

I had to be the one having the last word on this day.
I have been on Craigslist to collect 20 phone numbers of investors to be called tomorrow.
IF IT HAS TO BE, IT MUST BE ON MY TERMS!

I went back on Craigslist and send about 20 emails which I will follow up tomorrow with some phone calls.
My day was successful, because I wanted it to be. I am focusing on the positive and therefore the positive expands as Eker T. Harv would say.

Could not put my signs out his weekend for some strong reasons. Got three responses from Craigslist. Setting up two hours tomorrow to screen cash buyers.
I am here to stay.

Woo hoo!!! you ARE here to stay!

Dean says, if you haven't fail at something lately then you aren't trying hard enough. Its OK to make mistakes just learn for each one and use them to become wise. We are all here to help you

That is so true. I will fail my way to success!

The voice of "do not do that" kept flooding my head as I finished setting my 30 day goal. I must feel the fear and do it anyway. This same voice kept me prisoner in the past, not any more. I know by putting my 30 day goal out here, I am making myself accountable. I am giving myself a command and doing it.
My goal kind of frightened me. But if it did not then there will not be growth. I have to feel the discomfort, and I felt it. I have to leave the familiar zone (there is no comfort in the comfort Zone)
As Dean was putting the different examples on the board, I realized that I have pretty much accomplished some of those goals.
So here is my goal, my only goal and the different action steps, Potential Problems(PPs) and Proactive Solutions(PSs.
Goal: Deal 1 Beginning Date: 11/26/2013 Completing Date 12/26/2013
Action Steps:

1. Contact 100 new Cashbuyers: search key phrases online, call for rent ads,call them, email them, text them.
Potential Problem: They will not respond.
Proactive Solution: Keep calling until they respond and tell me not to. Meanwhile add new names on the list

2. Put 100 bandit signs out (25) every Friday. Buy 100 signs. Choose strategic locations.
PP1: No calls come from them
PS1: Give them 2 more chances. If not then change the location.
PP2: They are taken away
PS2: Put new ones out in the same areas if they have generated calls.

3. Contact 100 Real Estate Agents. Leverage Receptionist to get access to the most creative agents who work with investors. Call them. Send them Matt's letter and follow up.
PP:They are not interested.
PS: Grateful to find out this early. They are not the ones. Politely keep the door open and move in the search of the ONES.I am looking for Agents who are PHD as in Poor Hungry and Driven!

4. Locate 55 FSBOs on Kijiji, 30 on CL and 15 driving around.
PP:No willing sellers
PS:Leave the door open, ask for referrals, keep in touch with them. Call them from time to time to ask if there is anything they need that I can do. Build rapport.
All in all I am keeping the SW,SW,SW, SW Principle. Some Won't, Some Will; So What' Someone's Waiting!
I am praying and moving my feet in action.
Let the journey BEGIN!
