-Probate: Went to the court house today and found the probate files. I met Carla who was at the front desk and Sara who is in the back and she helped me with the files. I took pictures of one entire folder and plan to look over them all later.
-Prospecting: I struck up a conversation with a woman who was holding pictures of a damaged roof. She told me about an issue she was having with the neighbor not cutting down a tree and said her 'tenant' could get hurt from falling branches. Guess who is a tired landlord, owns (18) properties, and wants to sell (5) of them?
-Prospecting: Come to find out my doctor's assistant's son just started a 'mortgage field service' company. Sounds like a great lead generation/team member contact to have!

AFTERTHOUGHTS: I probably mentioned this twice yesterday... and I think it's because I get so frustrated wasting time.

I've listened to a lot of interviews over the last few months for REI and I find that many of the interviews last about an hour long. During that time I pull maybe 10-15 minutes of information which may be relevant to the title for the show.

Now some people would say, "If you get one nugget out of a three day event that makes you $50k then you'd be happy you went!"

Sure I would be happy, but I'd be even happier if I had two nuggets! Greedy? No, I think when you spend 90% of the time hyping your student program then you've let the people down who don't really need that classroom environment.

I've come to one important realization that I will say I still struggle with often... Some people need to be taught while others just need to make the decision to learn.

Become a do-it-to-yourself project.
