Are you emotionally driven? Most people are. We let our emotions drive our actions. Your emotions can be powerful motivators or they can cause destructive lack of action.
This week, we talk about taking the emotion out of the decision process. It allows you to take ownership of your life and your actions, as well as gain the confidence you need in all areas. This can do everything from changing the way you feel about yourself to dramatically changing the economy in your house.
Watch it now and as a special surprise, you'll find out how anyone who leaves a comment on this blog this week can get a FREE digital copy of my bestselling book 'Totally Fulfilled.'
Thank you so much
Dean,

Logical Decisions
There are 2 things we all can do ~ Make choices, or Make Excuses. Yes, excuses are for the birds. Choices, whether they are goo or bad, effect our everyday life,m depending on what we decide to do, and what kind of effect it can have on our lives. If we choose happiness, we'll be happy. If we choose to be sad, we'll be sad. If we we choose to do nothing, we'll get nothing and end up saying, "Well, tomorrow I'll do this or that." and not actually do this or that.
I choose to put one foot in front of the other, and be a little more proactive, because doing nothing positive don't help in my daily life. Actions speak louder than words, and life isn't always easy, but it's doable, if we all work at it, and do the best we can to try. (:

Thank you Dean for another great video. And I know that this year is going to be better than last year, because I started to take action, slowly, but i'm doing it. And I know that sooner or later ill get a deal coming my way.

Help
I have been trying hard and working without support. I am like your lady that made it from 0. I would like to get partnered up with you. I have heard that you will partner with your students I have contacted your groups about getting some of those properties to get started but no one will work with me not even your partners. I am having the hardest part getting the funding. As no one will give me the funding I have contacted the hard money lenders but they will only go 50% I need the other 50% before I can do the deal I have 2 deals I am working on and cannot find the money. I have tried and still am trying to get the support but If you would have some of your local guys help out us that are just getting started I would be willing to do anything. If there was a way that we could get support letters for the other 50% of the funding so we could do the deals.
I hope I can get your book also I have all of your books that I can get. I am still one of your PMI students. I have been told to partner with RE agents in my area but no one will partner with someone who has no money and no credit to get money.
Please help!!

Weekly Wisdom Appreciation
Hi Dean,
I can't begin to tell how much I look forward each week to hear the Weekly Wisdom message. Like most folks, I'm struggling with a family life and a demanding 8 to 5 job. The family part I'm okay with and grateful for this blessing, however the 8 to 5 job,,,,well no need to discuss. Again, thanks for your inspiration and passion for creating a blueprint for me to follow!!
Struggling, but I WILL NOT GIVE UP!
Chuck
The Logical Song
My 'logical' thinking friends and family think I am Crazy - and I am - Crazy for taking control of my life and Crazy for Real Estate Investing!!
Thanks Dean!! - Great meeting last weekend at the Summit
"When I was young It seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
Well they´d be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible ,practical
And they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world´s asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won´t you please, please tell me what we´ve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am"
---Roger Hodgson
Help
I wrote a long message and I do not know if it posted. I would like to get help I am like your students that started with nothing. I need to money and no one will work with us that have no money and no credit to get money.
I have 2 deals that I would like to do but I need the money or the letter of funds available so the banks will lend to me.
I need help.
I would like the book also.
Pure Info
Just a short note Dean to say thank you. I have always found a massive benefit from all the information in your books and taped EDGE events and live web events. It has literally changed my life.
The information is up to date, very truthful, and most of all it works!
I am going to read your new book no matter what as I know it is loaded with new investment strategies and all sorts of entrepreneurial goodies. None the less I did appreciate your continued passion in your video to help out people in need. It shows you definitely are the real deal.
You helped me, thanks again.
Respectfully submitted,
Jason King
Intrigued!!
Hi Dean,
Another great video blog!! Now, I'm *REALLY* interested to read Totally Fulfilled! I have three of your other books, but I always saw that this was your first big one. Here's to breaking records!
I've been battling with limited financial resources the past couple years so I am partnering up with a fellow DGer who lives about an hour from me. We met at an REI club (go figure!!) about two years ago and he's had real success in his area.
I've decided that I will be another set of boots on the ground for him and, in exchange for helping him expand his "mining fields", I'll have somebody to help me with marketing expenses and a great source of real estate knowledge and experience!!
Vincent
Thanks!
I watched this video surrounded by the naysayers in my life. But I kept my eyes on Dean's eyes, and I am not swayed nor discouraged. It's perfectly logical -- this will work! Thank you!
Love your enthusiam, Dean !
You're absolutely correct ! Most decisions we make are emotionally-driven.
Though I like to think that I'm a very logical thinker, I know that a LOT of the decisions I make are made more from the heart than the brain !! lol
And I also know that most large purchases that people make -- especially in home-buying -- are guided by emotions. It's like dating -- until we've found THE ONE, no decisions will be made, and no money is going to change hands.
So a good, enlightening blog this week -- reminds us that we're all human and subject to our various foibles.
And a good "kick in the pants" as well, as always. You keep us on our toes, Dean !
Thanks !

Thanks for your support Dean!!

Thanks Dean
For more of the great weekly wisdom you share with us. I for one have been pushing your book Totaly Fullfilled for the last few years. It was this book that opened my eyes and brain to make REI work for us. Next to the Bible I feel it is the best book that helped me with other parts of my life. I thank you Dean for wanting to share this book with everyone it will change a lot of life's.
I also want to say that Dean really does help his students with deals. He helped Veronica and I find a HML when we needed one and I do not know if Dean wants me to post this but Dean gave us 5k once when we had two deals going on at the same time and we needed the money to pay a contractor before the contractor walked out on us. Dean gave us the money right away. Dean knows Veronica and I do to some advanced classes we have taken with Dean and Matt plus some other great students on this site. We were able to pay Dean back one month later after we sold a flip property. Dean will help his students that show him that we will use his training to make deals happen.
Thanks again Dean for all that you do and all that you have done for us.
Steve and Veronica.
Send me the book
I could definitely use the book for myself and then for others; my feelings do, in fact, get in the way often.
Thanks.
