Bootleg Real Estate Investing Must Go

Bootleg Real Estate Investing Must Go

     I've seen enough of this crap and hopefully the rest of the actual real estate professionals will take a stand and speak up also! Real estate investing forums are great when used correctly, but the "newbie investors" are starting to become the many. I have no problem with new people getting into the business the right way or even cheaply. The issue I have is people hear "take action" and jump directly into ruining lives and half-assed running a business! Newsflash if you don't know the very basic details to your business you can't run one!
     The way people are starting a business now is ridiculous! They hear a basic overview of what many of us do & see the income/lifestyles we get to live and then decide they're one of us! It's like eating at a Burger King and then going to the grocery store buying some hamburger, hamburger buns, a bag of French fries, paper plates, and declaring yourself a restauranter! Sounds silly right? One it is silly and two sadly that $25 is more than most people want to put into their new real estate business.
     If you're going to get into this wonderful business don't go it alone on advice from some under moderated forum. At least find someone reputable to talk to that can help guide your path. If someone is telling you to advertise another person's deals without expressed written permission don't listen to them! They're the exact type of dumbass you need to avoid! (<<< that's for Nasar) Please do not promise people in dire financial  situations that you can help them if you don't know what you are doing from start to finish! The thing that most people do not realize is "promised money" is "spent money" to average people.
     I'll close with this get guidance, marketing, marketing and more marketing, and then close deals & get paid often!

It Is As Simple As Understanding Your Goals

"SETTING GOALS IS ONE OF THE FEW KEYS TO SUCCESS"

     That quote or statement is uttered often. Not because it is particularly catchy, but because it is believed to be absolutely true. Guess what... It is only partially true!
     In helping the people I mentor (let alone the beginners I coach & yes there is a difference) one of the commonalities between all of them is that after they tell me their goals I find out that they don't truly understand them. Keep in mind not just anyone is subject to taking my time so these are all fairly sharp ladies and gentlemen. Yet not even they have thought out what they mean when they say "I want to make a million dollars." The second I ask "what do you really mean by a million dollars?" we hit the blank stare faze... You have to clearly define and understand something like an income goal.
Do you want a million dollar business? "What is your salary out of this?"
Do you want to personally make a million dollars? "What about taxes?"
Do you want to want to make a million dollars after taxes? "What about your expenses?" Or Do you want to have a million dollars in cash? "This removes all doubt it is something clear and decisive"
So when you are setting goals make sure you know what you really want and do not end up disappointed when you achieve it!

5 Ways To Be a Guru at Anything in No Time

If you want to be a guru these are the 5 ways or keys to achieving that goal.
5. Fake it til you make it! I mean why the hell would you actually want to be successful at a niche when you can just pretend you're an expert!? Just go on the internet and memorize the most common yet basic bits of information then voila slap together a little product and you are officially an expert!
4. Find something that has been around in your niche for a few decades that isn't the most talked about subject, and put a new fancier name on it! Why would you do that? Because this is getting to guru status not actually creating something on your own! Ain't nobody got time for that bullshit!
3. Take something free that already exists that everyone already has throw some silly ass name on it that's 2 separate words together for no damn reason in particular other than that's catchier and more people will buy your shit! Reason for this? If you're gonna be a "true guru" you've got to be okay with being a complete piece of shit! Anything to get the suckers money!
2. Spend more time inflating numbers than actually doing anything! You heard of something or read a blog post on it for the first time 2 years ago? Hell sounds like you've been in the game almost 5 years in guru years! You've actually done a couple of things in your business? Take what ever dollar amount you've made and report that number in pennies!
1. Always "do the impossible" and make it sound simpler than dissecting a frog for a guy with no thumbs! Definitely remember that being a guru takes no real work! All you need is the perception of "doing work"! 

Anyway on a serious note nobody should want to be a guru! There is no easy way to the top! If you want to get there work your ass off and don't waste your time trying to live up to the product pushers standards! Working your ass off doesn't mean being a pest to somebody you look up to either! Asking every detail of a transaction twice down to what flavor of bubblicious they had that day! Most people don't mind helping anybody ,but if they have a mentoring or coaching program they sell don't try to bullshit your way to freebie coaching! If you can't make any real effort besides bugging the hell out of somebody you don't deserve the success you seek! There is no easy way work hard and actually become an expert in your chosen field!
