Allow me to re-introduce myself. My name is Ant ( That's what my family calls me) Close friends call me Andy (Long story there), But most people just call me Anthony. I started out in Real Estate in 2014 with high hopes of making it big in 6 Months like all the gurus we're teaching at the time. I made great progress with One of my closest friends and business partner @Andre Elston whom I shared a business with. We had some Wins very early on in our journey and then made the mistake I'm sure many others make. Not only did we get lost in the sauce, but I ended up making some bad decisions which ultimately led to me quitting. It took me a while to be able to admit it, but it's true. I thought I wasn't good enough to do this even though we proved that we could. I started dabbling into other things and eventually abandoned my entrepreneurial spirit. I decided a short time ago I would get back into the ring after being inspired by all the newbies. I remembered the feeling of cashing our first check and how accomplished I felt. I wanted to feel that again, so I started over. I started building all new contacts, meeting with new Real Estate Agents. Getting my feet wet going on appointments again. I have changed my mindset and started Executed the 5-foot rule and started going hard at it again. I got back on bigger pockets and started listening to the podcasts again. I started getting lost in the forums again after I got into bed and staying up late at night reading and refreshing my mind. A couple of months ago I noticed there were a lot of posts about how to find leads. There was this guy @Jerryll Noorden hopping in just about every forum talking about how many leads he gets from his website. As time went on and I saw him posting more and more so I decided to check him out. figured I had nothing to lose if I reached out to him and ask for his help. In the Forums, he’s this Ape-like in your face guy who knows what he’s talking about. when you ask him for proof of his leads He has no problem sharing screenshots of his success (sometimes you don't have to ask for proof of his leads). When working with him though, he is super humble and willing to help. Since then I have been working diligently on my SEO efforts for my website. I've watched my site go from page 8 (yes page 8) all the way to page 2 as of today! I have my first flip underway right now, and I just dropped off the contract for my second flip which will be starting soon. Seeing as this is the first flip, I'm willing to take any and all suggestions from those that are more experienced than I am. My goal within these next few months is to be doing Real Estate full time. I've had lots of help along the way so I most definitely will be paying it forward. I will be posting pictures, and mission progress to keep the ones starting out motivated as those who came before me have kept me motivated. If you are reading this don't give up. Find someone, ANYONE that believes in you. Whether it's a family member, friend, or total stranger that you meet. Use that fuel to keep going. everybody deserves to be successful if they work hard enough. Take it from a guy who did and DON'T quit! if you would like to follow my progress I will be posting here on bigger pockets.
