But first I will tell you what imagonnadoo. I am going to start a new series of blog posts. This series will be called “Our Lead Adventures”. I am going to document the lives of our leads. You will be able to follow along every step of the way. Not only when something exciting happens, but also everything leading up to that exciting thing happening.
Do you know why people are having such a hard time wholesaling or starting to get into REI even with SO much information out there? I tell you why. I FIGURED IT OUT!! Because I am smart! How do you start… well… anything? You do a Google search! You find successful people, you find information and you learn and you imitate! So you find these gurus and you read their blogs and you see how it is done. Right? Yup Exactly the problem!
If you are used to reading blogs that talk about how “they got a deal, and wow, they closed the deal, and poom DAMN the house is flipped“. Well that is easy enough.. I can do it.. so you try doing it and suddenly you realize this is NOTHING like you have read it would be. So now you think you must be doing something wrong. You lose confidence and start doubting yourself. Why does it take me 45 days to finally get that friggin contract signed while all these successful people get it signed instantly and effortlessly. Well they DON’T! It just looks that way because they omit all the crap we all go through getting deals signed!
When getting a lead, no one shows you that there have been 45 email threads going back and forth about how we keep missing each others phone calls, and how we keep missing the appointments to view the house, and all the other stuff that goes on that has not a damn thing to do with actual deal making and REI. Then why put that in, if it is just irrelevant stuff to deal making? Well because if you do not put that crap in, everyone is giving newbies a very distorted feel, and image of how it really is doing deals. If you put it in and people read it, they are right alongside me, MAKING that actual deal happen. I am bottling experience and giving it to you for free. That is exactly it. This is experience, transferred from me to you through a blog post! There, How smart am I!!
This, I believe , is what is missing in all other blogs out there. Usually, bloggers only write when something is happening, and a whole lot of valuable information, mood setting, anxiety, the waiting, the boring is omitted and the end result is a complete distorted reality of what it really is like, how it really is done, and what one really goes through making money, handling these leads and nurturing them through towards a closed deal.
Keep in mind this will get boring at times, but so is life very often, and this blog always has been real.
