Keep Doing What Your Doing...

...and you'll keep getting what your getting.

I still have not taken any action to bring in new leads. I'm the only one who can do that. I won't succeed as a RE Investor if I don't take the steps necessary to suceed.

Another good quote; "I would rather reach for alot and only get half then reach for nothing and get it all". I have reached for nothing the past few months and gotten all of it. I have always been a little fearful of failing, however it has started to make more sense to me to keep trying for something, because even if I don't reach what I'm trying for I'll be further than I would be reaching for nothing.

I have my goal for the next few month roughed out on a sheet of legal paper. I am going to get it in presentable form and put it everywhere I am. My wife told me only 80% of people in America have goals, and only 3% of that 80% actually write their goals down. That 3% makes 10 times more then the other 77%.

Oh yeah, that lease option deal I got turned out to be a bust, but I am still going to walk away from the deal with $1100, an education, and a good rep with the owners for doing what I said I would do. On to the next one...

Once Again...

"I want to send out 100 pieces of marketing the first week of February. This weekend I will get all my stuff together that I need to make that happen..."

I said that the last week of January. Guess what, I didn't send out ANY marketing pieces in February. No marketing means no prospects. No Prospects means no possible deals. No possible deals means no money. No money means having to keep doing something I don't enjoy to pay the bills.

It's been three weeks since I updated this blog, the deal I thought I had is going to fall thru. The mortgage payment is too high to get anyone interested in lease optioning the house. I guess you could say I have made progress because this was my first attempt at a lease/option deal, however I feel bad that it didn't work out, not only for me but also for the owners. Looks like they are going to have to let the house go back to the bank now.

You don't fail until you quit. I keep telling myself that.
