"Decide that you want it MORE than you are afraid of it" - Bill Cosby

When you are completely focused on what you want - nothing can stop you!

Everyday you have a choice - stop thinking and JUST DO IT!

Each of us has "Success" inside of us - it's up to us to make it happen

Believe in yourself - you can make great things happen

Do a little bit everyday. Pretty soon, that "little bit" turns into a "lotta bit" and you will reach your goals quicker than you ever imagined

You can do it - YOU ARE WORTH IT!

As the holiday season approaches, I hear many people talking about it being hard to do deals during the holiday and that they want to "wait" until after the first of the year to take action.

If any of you have had these thoughts or are using this as another "excuse" to put things off a little longer, my advice to you is DON'T!

YES - you can find and complete deals during the Holiday Season! One of the best deals that I did, closed 2 weeks before Christmas. With that particular deal, the owner lowered her price if I'd agree to close before Christmas. She wanted her money, in her pocket so she could move, get settled and have money to spend for Christmas.

1. I just did my first out of state assignment deal. It closed Tuesday and I made $2400 without ever setting eyes on the property (that's a first!). A guy I know went though it and took pictures for me. I found a motivated seller and negotiated a $67,000 asking price down to $27,300. My agent showed it to the list of investors I built through Craigslist ads and had a buyer after a few days. It just closed Tuesday and I got the check.

Woo! Step 1 taken care of. I have been calling Craigslist ads and I have located and spoken to 10 investors that are all Cash Buyers. Now today I will be reaching out to realtors to get them to send me Cash Solds lists and potential deals. Thank you for all the help DG fam!! See you all at the top.

Hay everyone, I just got my first buyre from a gost ad. He said he will buy anything from vacant land to perfect houses if the numbers work. Now I need to go out and find a real deal.

This is where I plan to track some efforts toward my first deal (or 2 or 3) in 30 days... here goes!

Also, let me know if I'm doing this wrong - if I should journal this somewhere else, etc.

Thanks!

I learned a strategy from another investor a couple years ago. It is something I am just now learning how to perfect and get off the ground. I have done about 16 deals int he last 2 years using this strategy.

Average deal:
$250 cashflow for 6-8 years
No Money invested
Return on investment is Huge,
I make an average 12-17K on each deal.

this strategy is Mobile Homes.

I buy them, or most of the time I can get them for free. I put about 3K-4K into them and sell them on a seller finance note.

I just sold one of these deals last week and detailed all the info in my investing journal. Click on the URL below to take you to it. I love sharing success

Hey DG Fam...So are you? Loitering that is..lol.."Do not loiter at you BUSINESS," advises the good book!..lol..I was reading something today that was so in harmony with what I'm working on, PROCRASTINATION!..

It said, that confronting a hard task is bad enough, so why add to the load by Procrastinating? That just keeps it before you longer!

"If a task seems difficult, I'll put it off. But then I'll worry about the fact that I still have to do it. When I finally start on it, I have to rush, which stresses me out."-Serena

I feel the same way the above metioned individual stated.. So, today I was able to TAKE ACTION on finding a realtor! WOW,I mean I can't explain to you how it feels to just DO IT!.. I procrastinated Friday, and last night got my game plan together for today..

Take consistent action and follow proven success blueprints. Those who believe, with unwavering faith that they will succeed and take the needed action toward that success, are the ones who do succeed !
