Most of us have moments of terrible doubt in our lives. Have you had times when you feel you’ve crossed a line you can’t go back from? It’s easy to get overwhelmed with thoughts about never being able to have what you want or achieve your dreams. What we don’t usually realize is the forces that contribute to us believing in our own doubt. Watch and listen as Dean and his guest student Matt unpack the lies that can drag you down. They also share the things to do (and what to avoid) in order to achieve your goals. They even discuss some slimy tricks that others are pulling that could be causing you to quit on yourself.

Thanks so much. Dean and Matt always look happy, relaxed, and very wealthy as well~!
Good for you both.
I love the weekly wisdom posts as they are like a shot of positive energy~
I continue to need this, as I am starting, and so far have not yet made an offer even!
One thing holding me back is doubt and fear, as I am so far away from Tampa Fl, where I have chosen to start (with my coach)
I know it will not be too long and I will also be posting my successes on here.

Weekly Wisdom # 252
Hey Dean & Matt:
Thanks Matt for the word of wisdom: 1) disconnect from negative people, and 2) disconnect from negative media, including negative internet media.
In other words, as Dean puts it: Don't listen to the naysayers. To me it means do not hang around naysayers & let what they say affect your mind and action. Hang around encouragers and be like them in word and deed, and you will be successful.
Again, thank you both for your constant encouragements. God bless you both & your families!
Thank you Matt and Dean
Thank you Matt and Dean for sharing.
The great advise to stay away from negative people along with the Nay Sayers in my mind is 90 percent of the problem I believe it holds people back from doing this real estate business.
I know this personally, because when I bought real estate before and this was way before I even knew of a Dean Graziosi, I told my family and friends about one of the properties that I bought and they were giving their advise and they had absolutely no experience in the real estate business to be giving advise to me, but unfortunately I let myself listen and I had only my self to blame, because I listen to my mother that kept harping to me to get out of the deal.
And I did and had regret it and that property went up in value so much money that the kind of money that you would only see if you had a 9am to 5pm Job 401k plan for twenty years that you probably did not like going their everyday anyways to take peoples crap who probably don't want to be there either and make them wealthy while you just get by financially.
So whoever reads this the message is if you need advise in the real estate business ask someone who has actually done it and was successful at it and earned money from it.
Don't ask family members or friends who have never done it and were not successful at it.
I am telling you it's like anything else!
If you need your shoe repaired go to a reputable person who does a great job doing that one thing!
The same applies to the real estate business once you meet someone who has actually done it and was successful at it and earned money from it, well that's the person I want to be listing to and for me it is Dean Graziosi and this guy Matt Lawson.
Not some poor soul who slaves away at some Job that they cannot stand with all of their heart and soul.
After you have read enough and studying enough it should not take to long you will have the faith to not listen to the negative Nay Sayers and you will have the faith to listen to yourself and move on from their.
video complications
I really enjoy listening to Dean talk about the topics he brings up. Regrettably my connection is problematic and the videos take three times as long to play with numerous pauses without. I like dean have ADD and it is distracting. I work through it but often have to play the video more than once to really get it. Too bad there is no download button that would allow me to get the video and then just watch it straight through.

Thank you Matt and Dean
Last night I visited my mom to talk about the Global Information Network and how I wanted to be a part of it and she totally nailed me with all this negative talk. It was so bad, I just left the house and went home.
(Hahaha, were going to have lunch soon so were okay)
I agree, You can either be watching Channel P(Positive) or Channel N(Negative). Interesting thing, is how just a few seconds of channel N will start sinking into your brain and affect you.
Thank you for all your encouragement. I deeply appreciate it.

Great advice as usual guys! We all need to stay away from the negative people, including the negative person inside of us. I think I can , I think I can, I think I can won't work if we keep letting life situations or minor setbacks get in the way! Keep pressing forward and See you at the top!

Wise Reflection and a dose of self trust
I loved what Dean said about what we have between our ears. What"s going on inside our brains? And I want to expand this idea with my own reflections.
We can do away with the naysayers and the bad news which bombard us daily from every angle. But we don't usually look into our heads to see how many negative things we are storing in our brains. We can have pessimism, lack of self esteem, procrastination,lack of faith in ourselves,myths(in other words big lies that we believe to be true) insecurities due to our previous failures, lack of commitment and many other junk ideas that act as powerful brakes to any motivation that we might have. My point is: How much maintenance do we do to our brain?
Now, Let me do a comparison. In our house we do housekeeping about every week and spring cleaning maybe once a year. To our cars we do radiator flush, oil flush, transmission flush, tune ups, brake and tire inspections. To our computers we do debugging and memory dumps periodically. And this are all material things. Our brain is completely ignored. And it is our most precious intangible resource of our being.
It's time to look inside, between our two ears to remove all the junk, the trash,the unproductive ideas that we have been affecting us for so long. We have to look the present with determination and the future with optimism.
Now Matt's dose of wisdom: Begin with baby steps; one at a time. "Giving one step at a time builds up your confidence.We can stumble, we might need a helping hand, but like a baby learning to walk, don't give up. If a baby can learn to walk, we can learn to profit from real estate.
negative to positive
great motivation !
RE:Weekly Wisdom #252
Hi Dean and Matt! Thank you for your words of encouragement. They are needed and appreciated. I haven't done a deal yet, but haven't given up either. My husband gave me a nice compliment regarding my involvement in real estate on Thursday. He has been against what I am trying to do, since I got involved in 2011. He told me that if there was any money left after paying certain bills that I could use it on my real estate business. Although nothing was left (and he didn't know this when he said it), it was nice to hear him acknowledge what I am trying to do in a positive way, instead of telling me that I am wasting my time, and that smarter people than I am have failed at real estate. I am hopeful and prayerful.
You guys are sooooooo Right!
Hi Matt and Dean, great to hear from you tonight because I needed your "wisdom" truly tonight. We grow up with such negativity in our lives, oh my goodness. And yes we must disconnect from negative friends and negative news media, either from TV, the net or radio/newspaper. It's all around us.
I had a wonderful life coach for 6 months and here's what I took away from our time. What we think becomes real. If we think we can't do it, we can't do it; if we think we can, we can. Keep your thoughts positive. I still want my first deal: here's what I know: I can do it!!!!!
to dean
I just sign the paper on my house before I could not do a thing have type of change in my life it's done now it to go
Say Nay to Naysayers.
Thanks Guys,

Weekly Wisdom #252 To Far Gone
I have watched this Video Blog about four times since it was posted on September 1st 2013.
I had to watch it again I just love it so much!
I had a family member tell me yesterday to stop my fantasy of making it big in real estate and to get a job somewhere so I can have heath benefits.
There is nothing wrong with my health, but to get a Job for $10.00 an hour so I can have health benefits depresses me to just think about it.
And probably that $10.00 an hour will turn into $12.00 an hour in three years.
I have had these jobs one for five years one for nine years these jobs,
Believe me I have had all kinds of jobs and none of them earn the money that I have earned when I did a real estate transaction.
So whoever reads this you cannot let negative family members or anyone else take away your dream that will be a reality soon.
Thank you again Dean and Matt for such a focused and uplifting video blog of hope and not a dooms day predictors of our future.
When Matt and Dean tell us to disconnect from negative people in your life we need to listen.
Just take one whole day and listen to your everyday surroundings and you will notice right away the light will be so bright what they are speaking about negative people in your life and you will say to your self absolutely positively unbelievable I've been around that darkness of negativity for that long!!! and you will come into the light of positive people and soar like an eagle in this real estate business on this site.
weekly wisdom #252 To Far Gone
Dean,
You said that you read every single one of
these post.
I have watched this video blog I don't know
around six times.
This has to be one of my favorite hit home
video blogs I have watched on your site.
The first time I watched the video and the
other times after that, It reinforces the
fact what Matt says two things are important.
Stay away from negative people in your life
and stay away from the negative media.
Wow! and yes. I cannot even
think of any better advice then this along
with taking one step everyday towards
real estate going from bad to good and
you can build a lot of momentum fairly fast
taking one step everyday.
Negative people are the same effect as
poison. Go look for the word poison in
the dictionary and read it you will know
what I am talking about.
I just wanted to say thank you again
to Dean for his site and wisdom and for
Matt for his words and wow!
weekly wisdom #252
I keep watching this video blog whenever I hear negative comments mostly from family members about how I am trying to earn money
in real estate.
One family member who is a millionaire told me
a few weeks ago that I need to stop dreaming
of making it big in real estate and to get
a regular job.
The more I watch this video blog the more these comments don't seem to bother me any longer
and that I am moving forward everyday with real estate
everyday one step at a time everyday!
Thank you once again Matt and Dean for this so important video blog weekly wisdom #252

This video blogs that you and Matt did is the most watched video blog that I have ever watched of yours. Sometimes I need to watch it to remind myself to stay away from negative people so I can stay focus on the bigger picture and move onto success.
What we think, what we say, and our actions of what we get accomplished is enough and tells a story.
Thanks again to you two Matt and Dean.
Never quit
Good information from this forum. I liked the fact that it's always a good practice to take the path to success step by step. My wife and I are still on the training process but we are always glad to get inspirational words from the weekly wisdom. Thanks Dean.
