Recently inspired by the book & Podcast "The ONE Thing" - A question that is constantly asked is - "What is the ONE thing I can do that will make everything else easier or unnecessary?"
I would like to start the conversation about what are the most important things we can be focused on as wholesalers to achieve extraordinary results.
What are the daily tasks that are measurable we can do every single day that will have the MOST impact?
&
What is the mechanism for tracking these activities? Is there a tool we can use that will help us track our daily activities to keep us accountable to that daily activity?
If you are an experienced Wholesaler, what do YOU do to stay on track and stay focused on what matters most?
Creating a pipeline of leads whether through direct mail or networking with other Investors. Also following up with leads that come in. Wholesaling requires focus and consistency. Daily tasks include checking Craigslist for new properties (Automated with IFTTT), setuping criteria in Zillow, Redfin, Realtor dot com to send you daily listings immediately, and calling incoming leads back. No magic bullet just grind and hustle.

@Jordan Potter check out this blog post on BP about the seven essentials to help with daily tasks and making things more automated so we have more time for things like talking to people.
To simplify it, have multiple resources for leads. Evaluation different properties in several locations. Memorize repair cost for different conditions in houses. Calling leads, or responding to calls from sellers and take the time to hear their problem so you can solve it to make money. Then go to Meetup’s to meet with several buyers in you city or state. Basically stay busy with that and social media like here. It sounds like a lot but you will get used to it if your consistent. I use Podio to track everything and keep me organized. I also work with others that help with my system and marketing, but more importantly, to keep accountability. Hope that helps.
