Boy! this is really getting interesting. Power out right in the middle of a post. Lost it the second time, (my attemmpted post)by htting the "preview" button, then hitting something else, not sure what happened. Yea, ok,wa,wa,wa. Sheesh! No matter. This orginization-The Dean Graziosi orginization is teaching me how to "hang in", not "give up" "do the work no matter what and not quit". Been away for a bit because I have been extremely busy getting set up to commit my full attention to becomming a successful real estate investor. That to me, would be defined as "closing" my first deal with a profit- some profit, I don't think how much profit will matter much at this point but I know the return in how I feel about myself will be, well, "priceless". And I have a feeling that I will be blown away by the whole experience anyway. This is the absolutely best thing that has happened to me since getting involed with REI back in 1992, with another orginization. They have since made some changes to the company after the founder passed away but it is the greatest thing for me to have found Dean on the same forum that I got into the Givens orginization with, 20 years ago! Late night/early morning infomercial!
Life is strange. Who would think? It helped me back then (Charles Givens)and continues to help me today-although I dropped the ball in the real estate investing part of the program. THE most important part.("Wealth Building" they called it). But here is Dean. Dean, your orginization has given me a second chance at life. Litterally.I know too, that you ask for something in return.(I mean besides the cost of membership and accessory programs). That is a part of your program that is truely impressive. You ask for this back so you can make it easier for others to see that THERE IS HOPE, that they too can have all the success and happiness you profess. What YOU give out and offer, however, makes any fees/costs on my part just a temporary issue. You return this in spades. You do everything you possibly can to make sure (gaurantee)our success. Thanks Dean. I hope to be able to meet your expectations,which would mean in any case-my complete success with what I am doing here at your orginization. I am commited to giving it my all. I have done this for other orginizations and all I got in return was a means to "exist", "injury", "put downs","head games"-and NO GAURANTEE. The only thing about getting involved here is that I am not sure if I will EVER be able to reciprocate what you have given me here. But I'm not worried about that. I am sure you have that covered too. The Jedi master of "success" Thank you Dean. Hope you have a chance to read this or this gets back to you through your help-but I think I am writing this mostly for myself.(Think I'm still confused about "blogs/journaling", please bear with me). OK, hitting the "books" now on the PMI campus.
Aloha!

Up, Down......Up!
Ok, just got back from the monthly HiREI meeting. I really was not expecting much, especially feeling the way I was after hearing that depressing information from my mortgage broker friend about my pre-qaulification status. Anyway, got dressed and held my head up and showed up as planned, no matter how I felt! A little uncomfortable as I did not know anyone there,felt like a real "loser" after getting that information from my broker friend, and wondering if I really might be kidding myself about this whole real estate investing thing. Pretty grim to say the least, but I held my head up, showed up, and resolved myself to give it my best shot, then I ended up sitting next to this real jerk but hung in. Did not pull my usual routine of getting fed up and just splitting. "Giving up" I think would be one way of looking at it.I didn't do that. I sat through the whole meeting and guess what? This meeting has turned out to be burried treasure. Because I commited to going through all that uncomfort, because I suited up and showed up. Because I did not leave before the miracle happened...
Gold!! The realtor/broker/investor that turned me on to the HiREI club was there. I stayed because I saw catch phrases that the guide and workbooks taught me. Building a list,networking,marketing strategy.... all the stuff that is part of what I am studying were being mentioned in print and conversation. I'm not sure if Dean knows who Paul Xavier is but he is the guy who started HiREI. We are part of the national real estate investors association,he has a book out and pretty much doing what Dean is here on a local level. Met some really great people at the meeting. Exchanged business cards,got offers to call any time for information,got a chance to market my "handyman services" and intoduce myself as a "fellow real estate investor" and found an incredible resource for all the material that the Real Estate Academy training course is teaching me. A bonus too! The realtor that turned me on to the club was there tonight. She was so helpful and encouraging over the phone that I felt it was important for me to go over and introduce myself, and thank her for taking the time to talk to me about REI and giving me so much of her time that day I called.
Just doing random things that are part of the course material is heading me in a really exciting direction. I don't know what I am doing but things are turning out unbelievably well. More than I could inmagine. Carol (The realtor/investor/broker) invited me to work with her. I now have a physical mentor here that has years of experience in the real estate industry in various capacities. She asked if I would like to sign on as an assistant but we are going to check on the ramifications of that. She doesn't want to jepordise our ability to work as investor partners. How is that! Anyway, I experienced so much other stuff tonight at the meeting that it made what I heard earlier from my mortgage broker friend seem like HE is the uninformed one, that what I am doing IS REAL, and that "I will do the work and not quit"is a very,very important part of me succeeding. This journal was a great idea. I can't wait to enter what happens next. Good, bad, indifferent, I just need to hang in and keep moving forward. Good, bad, indifferent are all just perspectives that I interpret at different times to mean different things.They just may not actually be what I am trying to describing at the time as such.I don't think I am making any sense any more. Time to go to bed! Ok, thanks a bunch Dean and the gang!This is really feeling like the home away from home that I can run to at any time.
Aloha and G'nite!
