Gordon Holtner 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2006 Hi Everyone I just wanted to know how everthing is going for you guys. I lost 6 deals last month from saying or doing the wrong thing but I am not ashamed of that the only thing I realize now is that I must make more mistakes, or fail faster in order to learn what I have to learn. This month What I need to do is double the out put of what I was doing last month and then put together a team of people who will help me work in the areas that I want to work. In Edmonton Alberta for which I am in exile from the investors there are making a killing doing what we do I saw billboards and bandit signs it was just mad but so far no newspaper ads? My only problem right now in putting together a team is that I am having trouble getting myself to believe that I can put together the people i need to get the job done for showing the house and witnessing the signing.

Gordon Holtner 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2006 Hi Phil I just make twice as much money in Ft McMurray than I do in Edmonton for my J.O.B. I haven't found a way yet that I can get back to the city where I want to work this biz because it has more people. In Ft Mcmurray half the population lives in camps so in a small town of 50 000 only 25 000 live here and alot live in peoples spare rooms or basements if they live in town. It's a small market with alot of room for appreciation. In other words it is a tough crowd of homeowners to please. Good luck on your business venture PHil may it be fruitful.

Gordon HoltnerThe optimist's viewpoint is that means you found six deals, too! And that tells me you're doing the right things. You just need to refine your approach, get some experience, and you'll be fine. Mistakes are a bad thing only if you learn nothing from them. Remember, talk less and listen more. In fact, that's probably good advice for just about all ventures and relationships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Holtner 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 MC You are so right I think of it both ways actually I am developing myself but I am still failling but it is good to fail at first because that is how we learn like how many times did you fall when you were little before you could walk? Talking less and listening more,I just have to stop letting my nervous energy make me alk to much. That is the rule of success here, that is why you are the man MC!!

Adam King (MI) 1 Report post Posted January 8, 2006 Gordon,This business is all about learning about ourselves. I did a telelconference tonight that was recorded. During the hour long call, I realized I said some things that I shouldn't have. (Nothing big, just too much opinion about certain strategies) That made me want to do the whole thing over again. But the problem isn't that I said some wrong things, it's that I was thinking of dumping the whole thing because of one little mistake. I have since decided that there is WAY more good things to dump the audio file. It will get used as planned. Stick with the personal development and I promise you it will blow your mind when you look back in a year. This business is just nuts if you can roll with the punches.Regards,Adam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2006 I guess I set a easy goal to start this year with. I am about 1/4 there if these 2 close. I am about 95% sure at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

candyman_tx79 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2010 I know this is an old post, but I was browsing the forum and wondering how many of the people actually reached their goals that year. Also, I'm wondering how people are doing on their goals for this year 2010 and what they are. For me, in the short term, is to get that 1st deal done. Longer term, replace my current income in order to leave the J.O.B. Anybody else?...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelC 160 Report post Posted July 18, 2010 Hi, Ray. Wow. You went into the vault for this one! I can't speak for anyone else in this thread, and personally I have never been much in the way of setting goals. Particularly long term. Others may approach their business differently. But I've always operated more efficiently with a shorter term outlook. In your case, for example, my focus would be to get that first deal and to do whatever is necessary to reach that goal.

Well, I reached most of my goals (Became a millionaire "on paper anyway") and then in late 2007 got too big for my britches raised a million bucks and turned into a private lender. Then got CRUSHED! I lost in one month more than most people make in a lifetime.Still stinging FYI. AdamPS I know more than anyone about REI now. And no, not the lesson I was looking for.
