Thanks CBR!!!!

You know, it seems that the right post comes back up at the right time for those of us to see it when we need it. It's kinda miraculous how this site works in that sense!

This is my first time seeing this one, and I'm bookmarking it!

I'm definitely BEYOND the point of no return and I'm EXCITED to be here!! After trying EVERYTHING except real estate, I know real estate is where I am supposed to be and that makes me happier than ever...just knowing that I have found my place FINALLY in this life! My deals are "just around the corner" and I will be thrilled when it all comes to fruition.

I gotta keep the faith and stay disciplined to the action. It is just a matter of time, and I feel a constant "race to the finish line" very much inspired by these kind of posts. Thanks CBR for taking your time out to speak the truth!

I totally relate to the "hang in there and learn" and then the magic starts happening. You gotta rock it out through the rough times, and this post came at a great moment for me. Thanks for reminding us where we are in the RE "cycle of life"

Cheers!

CBR,
Great inspirational speech. Thanks for going the extra mile to remind everyone that they have what it takes to move forward and be successful. Firefly

I think the biggest problem with new investors is working through obstacles. You have to treat this as a business. A real estate investor is a business person and that means being commited to reaching your goals, no matter what comes your way.

I am a chiropractor in San Diego and I want to pursue real estate investing because it is probably the best way to financial freedom. My point is, when I graduated from chiropractic school I decided to open my own clinic and I had no help from loans or family. I COMMITED to making that clinic work no matter how difficult it was. Trust me, opening my clinic required a tremendous commitment and I had my credit and every penny on the line. Real estate investing is no different. I've got my hands full trying to run a chiropractic clinic but I commited to being successful as a real estate investor. I recently finished my fifth successful deal and got a refund from Dean's coaching program because there was NO WAY failure was an option. My only point of saying this message is I want each and every investor who has "tried" but thinks they can't do it, to know YOU can. I can't tell you how many times obstacles have come up with my real estate investing career and that feeling of "quiting" enters your mind. There were many times I was trying to land investors and they ended up changing their minds when I thought they would work with me. Or I thought I had an agreement with a seller for a certain price to buy their home and they changed their mind. Or when I am going to find time to do the work to be successful as an investor. I have a full time clinic to run and 3 kids under 5 years old but I still forced myself to find time to get it done because quitting was not an option. I now am on my sixth real esate deal and I have found a GREAT niche with fantastic opportunities and I owe it all to Dean and his program. You have to take action to succeed. Dean can only motivate us and give us the tools to go do it. I hope this post motivates just one person that is on the fence to push through the obstacles and reach whatever your goals are. Now get out there and make it happen in your town!

Just found this post today (12/5/20/10) 2-1/2 yrs after the fact. but your comments, inspiration and guidance are timeless Matt. I have the advantage today of knowing of your amazing successes to date..and looking forward to hearing about your future growth. You are a man who not only "talks the talk but Walks the Walk" as well. No wonder you are admired by so many. Your generous sharing of your experiences along the way and being a shining example of the discipline and commitment you espouse is awe inspiring. You and the other Superstar/Inner Circle students of Dean's teachings show us all that it's possible for us to become successful rei's if we just never give up and follow-thru with the disciplines required to succeed and continue to be committed to studying and learning something new about the real estate business every day. It's been fun to know about you today via Dean's videos and books and to look back at where you began and see how you applied Dean's teaching..took them to heart, ran with them and then expanded them to incorporate your own unique personality and skills. Thanks for this post and all the others, before and after. I'll be here watching for future posts telling us of the new horizons you've conquered while I begin my journey. I look foward to meeting you someday in person May God continue to Bless You and Bless Us All! Semper Fi D-LO

See that my post was received 3 min+ ago, but it isn't showing up here. oh, well, too bad. It was a good one. I'll just say Thanks, Matt and look forward to meeting you someday. Terrific Post!!! Semper Fi D-LO

Great posting on what you need to have in order to be successful in real estate as well as any other business.
I always tell people the following:

Winners actually fail more than Losers fail.
Losers fail,,, then quit!
Winners fail,, keep trying,,, fail again,,,, keep trying until they succeed.
Keep this in mind and this will set a good prospective for you.

Michael Jordan (arguably the best player to ever play basketball) missed more shots than he made during his successful career.

Baseball players who fail almost 70% of the time,,, likely make it to the Baseball Hall-of-Fame.

Kobe Bryant (when he was a rookie) during his first time in the playoffs, "Air-balled" 4 straight shots at the end of a game including the final shot of the game. They lost that series as well. The question I ask is how many Championships has Kobe won to date? Amazing stuff!

Keep this mindset as you approach your own investing and you will surely find success!

Happy Investing.

Hello Elena,
If this person/realestae agent were in your boat while fishing
and the boat started to rock because of the high waves of his negativity
would you allow him in your boat again. I hope (No).Do not let his negativity/ignorance infiltrate your thinking. Negative people will rock the proverbial boat,that is just their nature as sad at it sounds sometimes they feel like they are giving you good advice.Elena you are in the big leagues and he is still sitting on the bench.God created this world and you with creativity not negativity,so why would you allow his or anyone elses ignorance/negativity keep you from your best.(YOU).
Blessings.

WOW CBR was that a great post! I'm very new here and all this great info. and wisdom is blowing me away.
My teacher in grade school said I was going to become a "ditch digger". The prophesy wasn't too far off the mark. I've had many setbacks and failures including 3 bankruptcys. But, I never give up! I can't be beat down. I always come back up to fight again. You see i'm hungry for success. I've worked hard my whole life and it's been a long one. I've had a job since I was 13 and I now know it's not about working hard but rather about working smart. So I recently purchased the Blueprint course and i'm off to see the wizard, only the wizard is DG.
For me, it's all about knowledge. I've made so many costly mistakes before I knew what to do. I can't afford to make any more major mistakes.

Thanks for your inspiration and sharing your knowledge!

Thanks for the words of wisdom, I was telling my daughter a while ago, that I was ready to quit, but when I read your post I changed my mind I will continue
my journey and will try my best to make it. Times are hard but with God's help and all the dg's I will make it. Thank you again to all of you for your posts,
there is a lot of knowledge in them. Ada.............

This is a post that needs to be preserved to inspire all who darn to think out of the box and get involved!
Really great. I've emailed it to myself to print it out just remind me to get going with RBBP.

Realtors are investor’s best team member. Yes, they make money representing us, but that commission is paid by the seller. A realtor helps us find comps in the area and helps us find the home our buyers are looking for. Great Team Member.
Find a good realtor to work with and let them work with the seller’s realtor. Your realtor will represent you and make the offers for you.
Get busy and start making the offers.

We all have our strengths!! The more I coach the more I realize life goes on and we will always have life challenges before us. I have found that if we will set aside a certain amount of time each day, this helps us to develop a habit and have more of the Discipline!!! and Commitment!!! This will help us to be more successful in our Real Estate business. Happy Investing!!!

We will be talking about this post tomorrow in my one on one, . This was such a powerful message from Matt. DON'T GIVE UP, STAY COMMITTED, DEDICATE THE TIME!! Every day i have found some way to dedicate at least 30 minutes to something real estate related. I went in my closet, and found information I had from 4 years ago about REI and looked over it. Audio cds, closing docs, all good REI info. I've already had my failures in real estate,NOW IT'S TIME FOR MY SUCCESS. I Just joined the success academy on July 28th, AND I'M PUMPED! If you haven't joined, FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!! There's nothing like having someone to motivate you, or being able to call professionals at any time for advice. I know my first deal is right around the corner. Keep this is mind. If you invest 50 hours into real estate (studying, researching REI info, browsing MLS, making offers, looking at houses, making calls to banks, other investors etc...) and get one deal that generates $5,000, YOU JUST MADE $100/HR!!! WHY WOULDN'T YOU DEDICATE THE TIME??? Like Matt said, i'll be glad when that 6th month gets here, but i'm claiming mine before then because i can already feel, and see it happening. SUCCESS HERE I COME!!!! "yeah baby yeah" (in Austin Powers voice)

Thanks again Matt for a cut to the chase, practical and inspirational message
that will be instrumental to our succes as REIs. Add me to all those standing and applauding in appreciation! Semper Fi. D-LO

MAY I PRESENT MR. MATT LARSON. THE CROWD GOES WILD !!!!

ALWAYS A GREAT READ SO HERE YOU GO.....

Bump--It--Up!!

We should all read this everyday to keep things strait in our heads!

Thank you so much Matt,

To prove to you that Matt was right, check out my journal. I stuck with it after 6 months, and it finally happened. SUCCESS!! I've tasted it now, AND I WANT MORE OF IT!!! But the most beautiful thing of all is that I know I can get more success, because i've already done it once. Thanks again Matt and everybody at the DG family for you inspirations and encouraging words. SUCCESS, HERE WE COME!!!
