Real Estate Weekly Wisdom #275 - (SO SIMPLE) I wish I knew this sooner!

Thank you for doing another weekly wisdom for us. It is so true often we need to just do it in life and not let anything hold us back. Never say "but" or "because" we should focus more on the "believe" or "belief"! It comes down to how bad do we really want it. Doing what others won't do and then in turn being able to do things we only dreamed about doing. We wish you continued success in all you do! Go make it a great day by making every day count! Believe and Achieve! - Joe and Stacey

Hi Dean,
Another great weekly wisdom for us. thank you for sharing such a personal story with us. I know I can relate having family with the same issues. It brings it somewhat close to home for me as well. Just a little encouragement goes a long ways, so thanks again for sharing. Have a great week.

Dean, I remember being in slow reading classes in the 6th grade. It was horrible, I was embarrassed almost ashamed when I was younger, cause I felt like there was something wrong with me. I felt so much as a loser. My parents were good people and didn't know how to help because as many families of the 70's my parents dwelt on the negative. I had the privilege of meeting several different people who were in Amway and allowed me to read and listen to the uplifting material which helped give me hope to overcome much of the negative. I also read, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Books by Dale Carnegie, Zig Ziglar which helped me even more. Those materials which I read and listened to taught me how to dream and dream big. At the age of 52, I'm learning to dream again and thank God I have found a wonderful DG Student and now my mentor.

Thank you for sharing your personal story. It helps people like me overcome life's obstacles.
Thanks for all you do.

I love your positive attitude. It's contagious.... I appreciate you sharing another great weekly wisdom..

You are truly blessed and you are my hero.

One of my biggest "WHY" which makes me cry is to retire my parents and buy them a house in south florida.

God bless you and have a great week ahead to you and all my DG family

Thank you Dean for another fantastic video blog.
I really loved this one a lot.

When I make my first deal I hope I meet you one day to thank you personally and squeeze the stuffins right out of you! for all of your help!

Life can be so difficult sometimes emotionally, physically, financially and I have to persevere on what you show all of us on how to earn money in real estate and I love real estate already so It makes it that much easier.

You're in Dallas! You definitely haven't let life's hiccups get in your way of progressing towards your goals. You are such an inspiration to me!!

Have a great week!

Great weekly wisdom. I'm not much of a book reader either so I'll look into the audios, thanks for the tip on the book!

I'm so pumped up for the master class, the EDGE and mastermind class! I jumped in and am ready to rock it this year! I need to get my TIME back so I can spend it with my family and on keeping my body functioning.

Make it a great week!

Thom

Thanks for another video. As usual you have great info and lots of energy. I appreciate that and look forward to joining you in the near future and sharing my new deal along with the rest of the people that come to this site. I am grateful from the first time I heard you on late night t.v. because you lit a match under my dream and no matter what comes I will stick with it and make it come true for my family and myself. Thanks and I hope you have a wonderful week wherever you are. The best to you and your family, you deserve it.

A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation. Thank you for posting this video and minimal details. Keep on more posting.

Truly appreciate the WW, Full of Encouragement,Excitement,& Endless Energy!!!

Thank you DG!!

Hey Dean great Weekly Wisdom. Just wanted to make a post, as I'm practicing my typing and spelling. Thanks Sam.

Your amazing and I thank you for doing this video. I really do not know what is holding me back. Perhaps my age…feeling I can never get rich because these things take time and energy and I am feeling like I wont will be able to enjoy wealth since my days are getting numbered…In my 60's and feel washed up.
I get the high when I hear your video's or go to the buying summit..but doing all this alone and no support at home makes me fail. Very disappointed in myself. I have a lot of the issues you had growing up. Can't seem to beat it out of me and proof to people that I am worth listening to.

Dean - thanks for the amazing post. I'm a gal with ADD and I've tried to use that to my advantage rather than a disadvantage, but it certainly has been a "head game" over the years. I've always felt like a misfit, never fitting in, never having friends whose brains acted like mine. I looked up the David and Goliath book to read what it's about and then I immediately logged on to our public library website and put it on hold. I'm picking it up THIS MORNING the minute the library opens at 9. It's 6:30 in the morning and I'm up watching your videos and working on the real estate business.

Thank you for being a mentor that many of us can -relate- to. You give all of us hope that we, too can overcome the giants in our lives.

That reading in class was a low point. I never skiped a class cuz I knew my mom was always home & she would be on me. then my dad when he got home so I went to school & every class every day from K - 12 & graduated on time class of 77 (I was 19). only got held back once in K. when it came for me to read or do math problems in front of the class I felt like I'd die right on the spot (I was reading at beginners level in the 6th grade & my math wasn't much better) but did the best that I could when the time came. there is nothing else a person can do but do what he knows or skip out. that's why everyone on this site is here to be enlightened by what has worked & not skip out of life or have life skip over us. every time I think of doing something with my life I think of what you have said of where you really came from: gees from living in an abandon car on the streets within a broken family not once but 4 times to the mother load of today's life style. I keep thinking how will I end up? in the abandon car or the mother load of life styles or somewhere in-between? no one really knows until your there.

Dean you told my story. As I listened to you I though man I can do this! I feel that my fear is the paper work that goes with it. I know many would say that the easy part. But for me that is my hang up. But with your weekly wisdom and me talking and praying for courage. I will get passed it. Thank you for your words, and may you continue to be blessed.

Mr. G.

Yet again you hit home for me as I'm sure with many here who listen / watch that you inspire. I'm her because I want better and yes do use those crutches and fall backs. I will do something, today to take at least one step towards my future, one thing.

Next time you or one of your great teachers /students fly into my town, I ask that instead of sitting in that hotel room, consider to give some locals (ie me) a call for some onsite instruction / guidance. I would really like someone I could mentor under, someone to call and work with to get on the right path. I want to but those "but and because" answers aside and get out of my own way.

Just make a decision which gives us the direction we want to go and then make it happen. Identify the obstacles and work on solutions. We appreciate the things more that we have worked for. The things acquired easily aren't always as meaningful.

Thanks Dean for another great piece of wisdom.

As my title implies, we are very much alike. Unfortunately, I wasn't diagnosed with Dyslexia until I was finished with high school and my lack of a love for reading was firmly entrenched. I still dislike reading even tho I try hard not to. ( I have read all your books tho ) But I too could (and still can) look at something or someone doing something and I can/could duplicate it within days. I now can do construction, plumbing, some electrical, concrete work, woodwork and more, just by observation, not book training. My "hands on" training even got me job offers in fields that my school training didn't.
Bottom line: Anything is possible if you want it bad enough. No excuses allowed!

Thanks again for being a leader to follow and an inspiration for us all.

Till next week....

Hey Dean,
Is it possible I could get an audio version of your latest book, "30 Days to Real Estate Cash etc.". I have a handicap and it makes it very hard for me to read much. If there is a version like that, I would truly love to get a hold of it. I too appreciate all the inspiration you give us in your Weekly Wisdom video's.

Thanks for all your help!
Ash

Dean,
What a great inspirational story. Too many of us have obstacles keeping us back from achieving. You always encourage me to keep going.
Thanks again for all you do

Dean that was very inspiring message you sent to everyone that needed to hear this coming from you. On a special note I was in special education since I have been in 5th grade all the way till high school....For a teacher to call a student stupid is uncalled for...I was once called retarted....I cried when some one call me this...plus I stick up for every mentaly challenged child or adult.....Your weekly wisdom hit home for me and gave me more power to achieve in everything I put my mind to do!!!!!! I want to thank you...P.S I'm doing everything in my power to get to the V.I.P after the edge so I go faster and stronger and never look back...then I will be able to help others profil their dreams!!!!! P.S on another note my cousin has a restaurant in texas it's called ""Tierneys Tavern Café """"please check it out tell him his cousin Jimmy Crowley sent you.....he is also the president of city council....that's all for now see you in Arizona I cant wait for the sunshine and warmth its cold in Michigan....

Thank you! Going to get the book to help overcome this the tough past experiences and use them to move forward!

Great video. Let your obstacles become your stepping stones to success.

Hey there Dean. I am inspired by your words of wisdom and experience.Keep on keeping on.

Dean,
Thanks for sharing the details of your life. Your struggle to success lets us all know we CAN DO THIS. You didn't arrive on a lear jet or get lucky. You took the tough circumstances of life and used them as rocket fuel!

Everytime I think you can't pick me up any higher....you go and do it again! Your daily wisdoms are like you jumping out of the videos and grabbing us and saying, "come on let's go!"
You are truly one in a million Dean and I thank you for all your faith in us!

Norma

I certainly can relate to all of this and could add a whole lot more, but, I have reached a turning point and I want to thank you, Dean, and everyone else on this site. You are all so uplifting and encouraging! I'm in days 1-5 of "30 Days to Real Estate Cash" and I see myself as a different person after every few steps. I'm doing things now that only a short time ago I wondered if I really could or maybe I should say "would." I know that I am truly blessed to have all of this knowledge and support available to me. Thank you.

Wendy
