Real Estate Newbies I learned a valuable lesson I’d like to Share with You

I learned a valuable lesson today that I’d like to share with every newbie in any niche, especially real estate.

Today I was helping out a friend of mine who has a laptop and doesn’t know how to open his email so I help him out when he needs it. I’ve been trying to teach him to open his own email so he can have more independence but he’s still intimidated by the process.

Anyway, he is also an entrepreneur wanna be and always talking about making the big money in this venture or that one. Today I was opening his email and he checked it and then he wanted me to go to different websites — one for a pharmacy, one for a voip – voice over internet protocol phone, and a government site for auctions. I kept asking him what he wanted to do – he just kept saying “I gotta do something that’s gonna make me some big money”.

OMG! I realized who I was looking at – MYSELF! My friend showed me myself – someone who was willy nilly all over the place and not concentrating on one thing at a time until success was reached.

This is the same thing J.F. Straw speaks about.  To sum it up, he points out that you have to FOCUS on ONE THING – one business, one idea to success. Without this focus you will never achieve the success you so desire.

I realized that today because he was driving me crazy having me go from one site to another and I kept asking him what he was looking for and he was just looking and not focusing. That was me until now… I realize that from watching my friend that if I don’t get a mentor – a guide to my success – for my idea, venture, etc. I will never truly achieve the lifestyle I am looking for.

I wanted to say something to him but I didn’t want to come off preachy or judgmental so I just kept my mouth shut and went to the website. Maybe another day I can share this valuable lesson with him.

I’ve learned from this lesson…Have You?

Real Estate Newbies Are You Keeping Up With Everything You Got Going On?

I hope you are because I know I’m not. I have this blog, a squidoo lens, a twitter and facebook account. I don’t know about you all but this is too much for me to handle without a team to support me. That’s why I haven’t done anything including keeping up with this blog properly. I am spread too thin. How about you? Have you even started? If not, that’s ok. Don’t worry about it but at least do one thing and one thing only – a blog, a twitter or facebook account. Pick one thing and stick with it is what I’m learning.

I’m probably going to go through my stuff and delete some accounts and get my mentor in place and start over from that point. Or at least revise some stuff. I probably need to take a step back and get help. Getting help is the hardest thing we all have to do. We’re taught to do everything ourselves and asking for help is a sign of weakness. Well that is the wrong way to think and I’m learning that now.

For example, the other day I went food shopping and I usually get 4 bags of food that I can carry with me. That day I got 7 bags of food and had to separate them into the 4 bags. When I got off the bus, it was entirely too heavy for me to carry. Someone saw me struggling and asked me if I wanted help. For the first time in my life, I admitted out loud “Yes, I need help”. The next thing I knew, a nice gentleman came to assist me. I carried two bags and he carried two bags and I got home quicker than I would have if I had refused the help and struggled by myself. That was the first time in my life that I accepted help from someone else. It was so much easier with help than without it.

I’ve been taking my time and putting my plan together to get the help that I need to move from a j-o-b to building a business. How about you?

Real Estate Newbies Are you Frustrated and Burned Out?

I am. I haven’t been blogging lately because I am burned out from trying to do everything myself. I have spread myself too thin and have just stopped. I will get back to it – the grind of reaching my goal- but I’ve also been thinking about how exactly I am going to accomplish that. I was sitting at work – yes, unfortunately I had to get a j-o-b to pay the bills because my 17-year old son likes to eat .  I was sitting at my desk and I realized that I need help to get from where I am to where I want to go. I put together a list that I want to share with you. The 4 people who are going to help me get where I want to go.

Joe Nunziata - This gentleman I have worked with before and have traveled to NY to go to his seminars. I live in Atlantic City, NJ so it was only a 2 hour bus ride. He will help me clear my mental blocks. I won his book, Spiritual Selling from Bennie Randall’s You Tube Show. His site is www.spiritualselling.com.  This is the foundation because you have to remove all of your mental clutter.

Tyrone Taylor - In my case because I want to do wholesale deals and Tyrone can show me how to get a check in this area. his site, www.theflipman.com

Simone Kelly Brown - I met this young lady when I joined Andrew Morrison’s 16 week challenge and his ning site where I was a member of Andrew’s group of volunteers. Simone Kelly Brown will help me Own My Power. We all have our Inner Power that we are usually afraid to share with the world. Simone Kelly Brown can help you with that. Her site, www.ownyourpower.com.

And Last but Not Least,

Andrew Morrison - As I mentioned above, I first met Andrew Morrison when I signed up to be a volunteer member of his 16 week challenge group.  It was great. I learned alot about myself and I also learned that Andrew has the skills to help me not only build a business, but build a successful business. His site, www.smallbusinesscamp.com.

Well, that’s it in a nutshell. These are people who are going to help me get from a j-o-b to the lifestyle that I deserve and desire. This brings me to a thought that I’d like to share with you that I had about commitment. Check it out:

Our Deepest Fear

Our Deepest Fear is not that we are Inadequate, Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, who am I to be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented and Fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child a G-d. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. We were born to manifest the glory of G-d that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in Everyone.  And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

I read this a few times when I first found this and then I it clicked. We all have this ability to do great things. Once we realize that and reach our own personal goal, everyone else is liberated too!

How awesome is that?

Thanks for the email of encourage I think your name is Leslie. If I’m wrong, I apologize.

Real Estate Newbies Do you Have Momentum and Keep it?

I Just experienced something that I wanted to share. I had an idea to form a mastermind group in my local area and I did a flyer for it. I was excited but it started raining and I decided that I would put the flyer up in the laundrymat tomorrow instead of today. Then I felt the feeling of momentum – you know the build of excitement about something that you feel good about – I felt that feeling slipping away. I had to keep that feeling in my mind so that I could hold on to it and get that flyer to the laundrymat and hang it up with excitement and not leave it in the folder that it is sitting in right now.

That is part of the puzzle. You have to hold on to the M O M E N T U M of the next step that you are working on – no matter what it is – in order to complete the task and move one step closer to your goal.

I realized that I dropped the ball. I should have hauled butt over the laundrymat and put the flyer up before I came home no matter what.

Well, that’s it for now. I hope that helps. It has helped me tremendously and I wanted to share that in the hopes that it would help someone else.

Check out the video on the previous post. This speaks about Momentum in great detail.

Real Estate Newbies Check This Video Out

My friend, Devon Brown, shared this video with me and it is so powerful. You MUST watch this whole video and do the exercise that Tony shows you.

This is a great video to show you how to get your mindset where it needs to be for you to get your first deal done, or whatever it is you want to do. It’s all in your head. Watch this video twice.

The video is only 38 minutes. Take the time. Give yourself this gift and watch it through.

I haven’t done it yet, have You? Real Estate Newbies this one is For You

I’m being totally honest here and telling you that I haven’t gotten in touch with Mr. Tyrone Taylor yet to get my first deal done. It seems that whenever I make my mind to do something – something else gets in the way. A bill, extra money being taken out of your checking account for something you forgot about, etc. Always something that seems to get in the way.

This reminds me exactly of something I read in Napoleon Hill’s, Think and Grow Rich — “…Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach.”

This is exactly how I feel – that keen sense of irony and cunning. Well, I’m not going to let it happen to me. I’m going to get my money together somehow, someway and get signed up with Tyrone Taylor.

I’ll keep you informed of my progress.  Let me know about yours too.  My thoughts are, “I’m not going to let anything stop me from getting where I want to go”

I’ve been reading T. Harv Eker’s, Millionaire Mind. I’ve been practicing every morning putting my hand on my heart saying, “My inner world creates my outer world” and then putting my hand on my forehead and saying, “I have a millionaire mind.

You might want to try that too. It has been helping me. Maybe it will help you.

Real Estate Newbies What have you Been Up To?

Well, this is my 14th post and have I made any progress yet? Yes I have. How? I have decided that I’m going to work with Tyrone Taylor and let him help me do my first deal. He has a great price breakdown right now – $97 a month for four months or $347 upfront and he will help you do your first deal. I figured my funds are not in the greatest shape at this point and this would really do me some good. Others are charging $5000 and up to teach. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that but my personal finances are a disaster at the moment and I am not yet in a position to pay $5k for such training. I do believe I can swing $97 a month to start and who knows when I get my first deal in 30 days or hopefully less and get a check in my hand for$5k or even $3k what do you think that will do to my life overall – my confidence,  my bank account, my self esteem, my belief level, my mindset – the mindest of a newbie real estate investor will change forever.

I don’t know how long Tyrone Taylor is going to keep the prices like this so hurry up and check him out before he raises his prices.

What would that kind of success do to your or even my mindset? I see it and I  feel it and I also believe it now. Remember what I said that Joe Nunziata said about it’s more about how you feel and what you believe than it is anything else. If you got Tyrone Taylor to help you do your first deal and you got a check in your hand for $5k or more – how would that make you feel and what would that do to your mindset? I know I would be jumping for joy because I finally accomplished that goal. I finally overcame the fear enough to move forward and let someone else help me make it happen. I’ll keep you posted as to my progress and please feel free to join the conversation.

You can Work Through Your Fears Real Estate Newbies

I am. I am working through my fears. Our fears begin in our thoughts and like I’m realizing and hope you are too — your thoughts have energy and we must take control of them. To that end I found a 1 minute video from Dr. Van Zant. She was discovered on Oprah Winfrey’s Show a few years back. She gives some powerful, simple tips on how to work through your fears.

Check it out for yourself.  I think you’ll agree it is very powerful.

real estate newbies you are not alone with Fear

I found a great video I’d like to share with you that speaks volumes about procrastination as well as mindset. I believe this is where it truly starts. All success or failure begins in your mind. Your thoughts have power and energy that if you don’t control – they will control you.

This gets right to the heart of the matter. All real estate newbies should pay attention and watch this as many times as you need to.

I found this at thirtydaychallenge.com. This is Ed Dale’s site. This is actually his second go round with thirtdaychallenge.com. I didn’t complete the first one and am determined to complete this 30-day challenge. I don’t know about you, but this has always been a challenge for me. I start something and don’t finish it. Well, this is a test for me. If you need to test yourself too, I suggest you challenge yourself to the thirtydaychallenge.com and get it done!

Hey Real Estate Newbies were You on Tim Taylor’s Call?

Hey Everyone,

Were you on Tim Taylor’s call last night? Wow! It was wonderful. I received an email from him saying he was sorry that I missed his call but I was on in listen mode only. I just called the phone number and listened in. I didn’t use the link sent to me.

But wow the call was great. If you are a real estate newbie and you missed this call, you missed Tim Taylor speaking directly to you. At least that’s how I felt. I felt that Tim Taylor was speaking directly to me. I bought the courses, read the books, attended the seminars and webinars but I’m still not where I want to  be.  I’m frustrated, pissed off and angry at myself for taking too long to get where I want to go. But at the end of the day, I have no one but myself to blame. I take 100% responsibility for my position in my life at this moment.

Now the question is what am I going to do about it? What are you doing to do about it?

Tim Taylor calls it the space between your ears – if you don’t get the space between your ears where it needs to be, no matter how many courses, books, seminars or webinars you attend – you won’t reach the level of success that you desire.  If you continue to let fear hold you back, you will never reach the level of success you deserve or desire.

Tim Taylor offers a program for the “space between your ears” for him to mentor you to the success you need to reach your goals and be the success you want to be.

Whether you take Tim’s course or someone else’s the question remains, how long are you going to remain a real estate newbie? How long are you going to let fear stop you? Check out what Tim Taylor has to offer or someone else but get ready to move forward in what is the most promising time for fortunes to be made in real estate investing.
