What time do you wake up/start your day?

[Ivan Jouikov]

I just noticed that some people answering to my post are doing it at 4 AM and whatnot... wow!

I used to wake up at 10 am, now I wake up at 5 am (pacific). I usually follow this by my early "inspirational readings" (greatest salesman scrolls, at the moment), then by a bath and some educational reading (millionaire next door, at the moment).

After that, brew some green tea and go to my office to get started with my day (some time 6 am).

Can you handle that?

Heh biggest challenge for me about remaining passionate is all the RE people I've come in contact with (brokers, agents) and how difficult they're to work with. But I guess building your team isn't something that happens on the first or the 10th contact.

Most people in this industry aren't worth bothering with (it's a very low-barrier-to-entry industry)...

That said, good people associate with good people. So, once you find a good person (a realtor, a contractor, a CPA, a broker, etc), ask that person who they work with. Most likely if they're good, the people they refer will be just as good.
