I have a friend who is constantly making excuses.

Quite frankly, it makes me a little sad to see what years of accumulated excuses has done to his personal and professional life.

I was thinking about him again this morning wondering if there was anything I could do for him to try to help him “get out of his own head”.

After the “Great Recession” he just couldn’t figure out a way to bounce back.

Let me offer you the same advice I gave him:

He is too focused on what he lost and doesn’t realize everything that he still has – right at his fingertips.

If you are getting a little frustrated with this business, maybe it’s just an accumulation of excuses, and you need to make a change in focus.

For instance – You have access to WREIA tonight. It’s Monday morning, a little before 11 AM and we still have a few seats left.

Lucky for you.

Tonight at our January WREIA meeting we are going to have a speaker come and talk to us about Multi-family investments. He has a unique perspective based on his years of experience working across the country.

He is somebody you can learn from.

When you come out tonight, look for what I call “the little nuggets” of information. The things that will light a spark in your own business.

Every time I listen to a new speaker or someone with a different point of view, I look for the nuggets.

Maybe it’s a website.

Maybe it’s a tactic.

Maybe the “little nugget” actually causes a major shift in perspective.

Like my friend, maybe it gets you refocused on all that you do have access too living in the DC area.

Where you FOCUS will have a huge impact on how frustrated you are in 2019. Too many people keep trying to learn our business from free YouTube videos done by people who may or may not have actual success.

Join us at WREIA TONIGHT and you can learn from a REAL PERSON having REAL SUCCESS in Real Estate.

Happy New Year and see you tonight!

Oh, and Wholesalers – bring your deals to share with the members.

Remember – If you do nothing or continue to do the same tactics as last year, nothing will change. You need to add CASH FLOW to your mix to really make a difference in your financial life.

I have not seen some of you for a long time.

January is a great time to kick off the New Year with energy and networking. Come join us for this special speaker and reconnect with our community. We would love to have you and see what you have been doing this past year.
