Cold feet

[Lorelei Hilz]

Have any of you wholesalers ever got cold feet when doing something new and going out for the first time to find houses and talking to owners?? Does it get easier as you build up your knowledge of doing wholesale and talking to people. :roll: I'm starting up a wholesale business and short sale so I just want to get a feedback on what it was like for you guys when you started it out.

Thanks! :wink:

Lorelei,

The "fear of the unknown" is what i've found most newbies are a little nervous and/or scared of. What if they ask this? What if I can't do this? What if they're rude? What if they get offended from something I said? What if they say NO?!

Anytime you start something new, you'll have those butterflies in your stomach. The first time I started, I SUCKED. No lie! I was stuttering because I was nervous. Sometimes said the wrong thing because I didn't know what to say. Eventually I became better from time and doing it over and over and over again.

I'll tell you my secret on how I got past that, hopefully it can help you out. Most successful people have found they're success because of something or someone that motivated them. It might have been that they were trying to avoid bankruptcy or foreclosure, they had a baby on the way, a relative got sick etc.

What I did was kept a picture of my son with me in my wallet. For every bad meeting that I had, for every screw up conversation that I had, I reached in my wallet and pulled that picture out. I wanted a better life for my son, I wanted to give him the world. That's all I needed to keep going. Find your motivation, and no matter what never stop striving for your goals. Good Luck!
