Really Again? F**k Them Too

I have decided to ignore any tweet with the word list in it, because I’m tired of all of these ratings people who base all of their criteria off of not a  damn thing. The real estate business isn’t rocket science is there plenty to write about? Yes yes there is if you are in the business for real doing the correct things everyday you should have an infinite supply of stories to tell as well as giving good advice.

Between twitter, facebook, talking to aspiring real estate investors and other blogs you will see and/ or hear the seeds for failure every 4.3 seconds. I almost did this, I didn’t have time for that, I don’t like this, I don’t know how to…, I’m too tired, I was sick…, my dog had bad gas, Zillow says its worth…, I was gonna but didn’t, I missed that goal… again, I am creating…These are all  the very reasons people are failing except at getting e-cred and blogosphere love. You know how much all of those statements put in your pocket… $0.00 every second for the rest of your life.  Why am I writing a blog post at 2:00 am central standard time, because I have been busy doing things that create income. Like making offers, doing marketing campaigns, placing ads and talking to buyers. You see lead conversion is the most important thing in wholesaling, real estate investing as a whole, or any business for that matter. All of you people who bought that one thing last week are in for  a rude awakening whether you are doing it yourself or paid extra for them to do it all for you… If you are going to make a dime one from those leads you have to convert them!

Here is your free big money tip if you made it to the end… Do the things that make money and forget the things that are for your leisure. Building relationships with people is a great thing to do with your time. They don’t have to be the most authentic relationships with a Realtor or other investor, but don’t completely fake it either. You don’t have to become fifteen Realtor kids’ god-parent by any means, but be real. Build a team or dare I even say a network of people you can work with or at the very least kick some ideas back and forth. I have a contact page if you want to see if we can get along. Unlike some people I don’t play “favorites” with my lists, or blow smoke up anybody’s ass so we can be “pals.”

The next post will be the second in the Ninja Marketing series. I actually will even throw in a case study post from the latest deal in the 50 in 52 challenge. To get back to what I do at a high level regardless of what some people “see” (I’m tired of the borderline “bitching” and electronic ass chewing posts myself… almost)

    Well said. I know I've been guilty of doing that myself. But I stopped with the BS excuses. It's amazing what you can get done if you stop messing around and making excuses for yourself

    Great article Greg.

    Its interesting that the 80/20 rule applies to every industry. Especially real estate investing. 80% of investors will never do anything but tell you why it can't be done. 20% are the ones rolling up there sleeves and making it happen.

    Just have to say that you are so right on this fact: All of you people who bought that one thing last week are in for a rude awakening whether you are doing it yourself or paid extra for them to do it all for you… If you are going to make a dime one from those leads you have to convert them!

    I kept telling people who asked me about it … leads are critical but you have to USE them!! It doesn't matter how many great leads come your way there is still much work to be done!!

    Great post Greg.
