expect for the worst play for the best

[Jason Malabute]

A seller was supposed to send me the T12 and 12 months rent roll, but didn't.

I called, emailed, and sent selfie videos, but didn't respond.

Another seller gave me the quickest "NO!" of my life after I offered $700k less than he wants.

The easy thing to do is give up. But I remind myself that I signed for the entrepreneur lifestyle and the hiccups come with the territory.

When things don't go your way that's the universe testing you if you really want this or are you all talk like everyone else.

Nope,I'm going to keep following up with Seller 1. I'm going to try different ways of follow up. I'm going to send him letters and gifts.

I'm going to stay top of mind with seller 2. You never know, he might all of sudden realize he's not being reasonable and re-engage negotiation with me since I stayed persistent and proved to be a serious buyer.

Every no is closer to a yes.

What other choices do I have? Go back to a profession that I'm not passionate about anymore? Go hungry?

Nope! We gonna make this work.
