Dean Graziosi Weekly Video Blog #100 - 100th Blog and $100 Bucks 4 U!

*

Thanks Dean!
Like i sad in one of the forums, success likes nothing more then a team of bright and motivated people like on this website. Your Academy, this website and your books are always at the top of a real estate game. You have convinced me one more time that there is nothing wrong with giving all your free time to real estate:)

Thanks so much for sharing this way for us to evaluate how we are spending our time, which is far more valuable than any money we can make. Time is more precious than anything because we know it is limited to those 24 hours, as you said. When you really think about it, the ideal amount of sleep is anywhere from 6 to 8 hours a night, which means that we really only have 16 to 18 hours during which we can be productive or make a difference.

I have done a lot to make sure that I have many more productive hours in a week than I used to. It is not easy, but nothing worth having comes without risk or sacrifice (creative destruction!) so again, thank you for helping us to guide ourselves in a more productive direction.

Thank you for this assignment, and the bonus as well. The Bonus would be a great thing to have, I want to join the Success Academy at some point, and this could help out!

Thanks for this blog Dean, and I do agree the more time we have, the better we could determine our action pursuit in Real Estate Investing. I have been procrastinating too much and now it is time for me to do it NOW. I use all my free time on Real Estate rather than hanging out with my goofy friends or watch TV everyday. But I agree with ya Dean, spending time with your family, loved ones, or anything that can influence other people is more valuable. I believe it has to do with our time management. I realize I my time management must be contemplated, but nonetheless, I am trying to add more free time towards Real Estate. Sacrifice=reward.

Congratulations on your 100th weekly video blog! WOW! Some people make a contribution in life, while others, such as yourself make a COMMITTMENT to helping others.

Thank you for taking the time to continue to motivate and inspire us to each get to that next level. Each week I look forward to all the nuggets of information and inspiration that is provided in your video blog.

Thanks for this week's lesson and assignment. I believe these lessons keep us on track and gets us taking action each week. We wish you continued success in all you do! Believe and Achieve! - Joe and Stacey

Congratulations on your 100th
I'm still here and still learning.Thank you for all of your inspiration and guidance.I have not started a journal yet, but I have spent many hours here on your site reading hundreds of post and posting some of my own. I do learn something from every single one.
Besides working all day, I still manage to get more things set up with buyer list and posting adds. I guess I'm not working it in a hurried pace. But I like how I'm getting where I am going,I'm trying to do everything that's a positive move forward.Thanks again for all you do.

You can change your life,just follow your heart and don't be afraid to dream.

oh and by the way when u asked who is coming with you ?? I AM !!

Dean,

It's amazing that you've actually done 100 of these blogs! That alone should show us all the commitment you have to our remaining on track with our efforts to succeed.

I have to admit that yesterday after work, I took a break from RE. I became a couch potatoe and watched college football for hours on end. I admit, I'm a "junkie" and my team is WINNING! I did manage to get back on track today and am almost halfway through YTYREP.

The excercise you gave us was definitley enlightening. As you said, I knew when I was writing things down, how a lot of time wasn't well spent. This lesson will help keep me on track, and give me the confidence and motivation I need to continue with my plan.

Thanks for all you do.

John

Dear Dean,

I hope you had a great week.
Congratulations on your 100th video blog. I hope the video of your home counts too. I wanted to get another post in for last weeks, but left for Ia. Thursday, just made it back home a few minutes ago. It was hard to get on the computer to do much of anything, mom moved her computer to the kitchen, so couldn't do much. My parents don't know I'm doing this, no need to tell them until I have made a profit, which will be my 5 deals. I did get to spend quality time with my kids.
Great things are happening for them. Thank you all for your prayers.

I am going to do my documenting again this week, I made it through Thurs. I do know one thing you can loose a lot of time with the computer, you have got to get aggressive with that thing, you can waste much precious time. Documenting also keeps you accountable.
This week I'm going to dig into my SFL and continue birddogging, I have 7 agents to call that have short sales. I've came close to a deal, will keep at it. In our Success Academy we have finished up closing costs, great success tips for facing your fears.
Great one for the frig.

As for being soft hearted, that's a good thing.
If one becomes hard hearted there is no room for change. I have definitely been put on the right path. God bless you much.

Sincerely
Shellsell

100???!!!
I have a lot of catching up to do - I know where my time is going the next few weeks!
Thank you Dean- you have no idea how much I've learned through your books, your website, and now the Academy...your blogs keep me motivated.
Working hard to become one of your success stories,
Valerie

Hi Dean just wanted to leave a comment on your blog. I havent watched all of your blogs but the ones i have are very inspiring to me. I so badly want to get away from my job i cant stand it. And when i listen to you talk it makes me believe in not only myself but you as well. I have never done a realestate deal, but i cant wait till that day comes because its been a long time coming for me and my 2 little kids. Being a single father it is tough, but its my kids that make me strive to do better. I like when you said "if not now then what when" because if i dont do realestate now then i wont ever do something with my life. I want to be successful, and i want to make a better life for me and my kids. Thank you so much for caring about the success of other people. I hope to meet you someday.

Hi, Dean
I appreciate all the challenges and motivation you have presented to us. I have use some of them and some of them no so wisely done. But, I have realize that I am scare of success and I am jeopardizing my self. I need to take ACTION if I want to succeed in life. I need to make the differences in my family life stile. Thank you for the eyes opening. And for all your ideas and motivation that will help me to make my life better. I will use your gift to enroll on the success academy. I need to have the receipts for success and make things happen. I have the time now and I do not know how to use it wisely. I do not have the money, But your gift will help me to achieve my goal. Thank you so much. I appreciate all you have done for Us.

Have a very Successful Day!
Thank You,
Wening

Wow, what stamina, what commitment!
Dean, we just want to congratulate you on your 100th video blog, and at the same time we'd like to thank you for them.
Your faithfulness in doing them is remarkable.
How many of us can say we have been that consistent in anything that involves helping others? They are not commercials unless you've got something new and wonderful that will help us. They are not condescending as if a lecture. They are friendly encouraging words of wisdom from someone who has been where we are and knows that anyone can do what he has done.
Thank you for each and every one. Please don't stop.

Wow, I tell you..just like from Loverboy song, to many people are always "working for the weekend". I find myself in that category a lot. Everyone seems to always look forward to the weekend for a "recharge" but I tell you what, Dean, you are one of the most inspiring people I've "met". Every blog is like an instant recharge, when you've had a bad week previously, seems like nothings gone the way you intended, I look forward to my inbox citing a "new Dean blog entry". Thanks for everything.

Thank You Dean. You timing couldn't be better.
I have committed to join the success academy but having to pay property taxes this month has left me waiting for the first. It will be difficult for me to do but I make it a practice only to spend money if it goes directly toward needs or goals. It's obvious that this is a good investment.

Thanks for the challenges you give us, Dean. I found that I don't waste big chunks of time, but there are lots of 15 minutes here and 30 minutes there that are slipping away during the day. So, if it's reading your book or looking for deals, I can use these pieces of time constructively. I need to make sure that thoughts of success and my goals are at the forefront of my mind at all times. Then I can grab those minutes here and there that will add up to several hours by the end of the week. This should definitely bring results. These are like baby steps of time. If I hadn't taken you up on your challenge, I would still be wondering where I'm going to find the time to be successful. It all starts in our mindset. Thanks for the challenges and motivation each week. Can't wait to see what you have next week and also to see how much I have accomplished!

Wow! that's amazing and it really seemed to go by fast. Thanks so much for all that you all do for us. Keep it coming Dean, we need every bit of it! Your generousity is unequaled and you've become the older brother I always wished I had. You always seem to have my back.
Thanks bro,
Manny

Dean,
Thank you for your commitment to do these blogs each week. I know you are a busy man and yet you take the time for all of us to do these encouraging blogs. Not jut encouraging, but very useful and educational. I really appreciate the challenges to avoid the News and Negative People and now to document our time to remove wasted or negative things that take up our time. Time is our most valuable asset and managing it is really crucial to becoming a success. Thank you Dean for the certificate. That is a real incentive to keep coming back to the blogs.

Thanks dean for the gift.Since I’ve joined I have been watching your blogs ever week. You have motivated me to take action as an real estate investor & I am going to continue to focus on the positive things in my life by improving on how I spend my time. Thanks Dean,Your blogs are amazing!!

Thank you once agin for a great blog and i cant beilive its at 100 already. You have gave up great information, a great success academy and much more the know and motivation to keep on turning those wheels to success. Thanks and lookign forward to next weeks blog.

Congratulations on your 100th blog! Thank you for sharing your insight and wisdom and for the $100!

Warm regards,
Angie

This week I'm going out to auction to find buyer and do bandit sign,I have to put in some contract on properties. I look at my business as a job so my friend see me on saturday event. Because I love my job. I also have a friend that keep me in line and I do the same with her. We have a goal to have a property under are belt before the end of the year. I do have two under contract but still looking for more. its 9.28am I got to get to work.

what an eye opening experience to document my time !!
what you give to us in knowledge and products are worth waaaaaaaaaayy more than what you charge !!but the bottom line is what u give to us for free is really all we need to be successful,the rest is up to us AND THAT IS TO TAKE ACTION

thanks for the free $100 to use on any product or service.I really feel for the people that are sceptacle of ordering your books on tv or joining your academy.if its about money and time then you even show them that is not an excuse,you will work with them.TIME .....you even show them how to manage that....what other excuse can we use ....that you do not show us ...that is even a problem??? NONE !!! i for one took a chance on late night tv with you AND I HOPE MANY MORE DO because i know what you can do for them !! now its up to them !!
jay

I dig your shirt! I wear a medium ...

Thanks Dean,
I did last week homework as I put it and have found where I can add more time that I was just wasting to good use.

I have now made a schedule for myself to follow by each day.

When that time is put up in more than one place,It brings back how I had to do samething for my Home Day Care business.

It kept me on track,no matter how tired I was I kept to that scheduele.

Thanks again Dean
