As soon as I read the article, I looked Hector up on BP because I knew he would be on here.

Hector is a wholesaler, a flipper, and a buy and hold investor.  He's just like all of us!

(Even though I'm in Memphis, I connected with Hector because he is a like-minded real investor and a fan of SUCCESS magazine.  This is why I love BP!)

Please join me in congratulating Hector, and let's all keep pushing each other to achieve our dreams!

Thanks @Douglas Skipworth for posting the article

It was a great opportunity to be part of the Start Small Win Big Challenge and very excited for winning the competition.

Also I am grateful for being part of Bigger Pockets that thru the forums that I have read and people that have answered my posts had made me a better investor

I had the opportunity to meet Darren Hardy this week  and I would like to share one piece of advice that he gave me, that I thing it can benefit any investor that wants to grow their business and continue to grow over time

The questions was  what is the best advise for a start up to succeed?

You need to have 4 skills that are necessary in any company

1) Sales - This should be the number one goal

2) Recruiting only The best people to work for you

3)Leadership

4) Productivity (learn how to manage your time and always keep learning)

As you are growing start hiring people for tasks that are non-essential or that take lot of time, while you focus on the most important activities that generate revenue (sales and marketing). The most important activities should be the last thing you hire, not the first.

 I have seen many investors that I network in Houston that main focus is creating the business cards, websites, attending classes, going to networking events and they complain they have not close a deal in months or even a year, and the reason is that they are focusing in the wrong activities.

Best Regards
