Post: One Month Into Real Estate

Hello BP Members, 

Thought I would update on my progress in RE. It's been officially more than one month working on Real Estate and I am loving it. Working at Highest Cash Offer I am currently managing 500 new leads weekly mostly inbound calls/webforms and getting 3-7 under contract weekly. We are currently using Podio, but will be switching to Infusionsoft in the next few weeks I'd love some tips/suggestions from some Infusionsoft Veterans! While I currently handle the initial property information as of now my goal is to bring more to the table in the next year, l will be working on self generated leads here shortly in my local area (Mesa, Arizona) and would like to hear some tips on driving for dollars, and other ways to collect some leads as well!

To solve this challenge is very, very easy.  You can do it with almost no effort.  (I'm referring to the challenge of becoming more disciplined and consistent).

Go to Youtube.  Do a search for hypnosis and discipline.  Here's an example of one:

Here's the thing.  I've been working on myself for almost two decades.  I'm very driven and outcome-oriented.  I always, without fail, get what I want.

Before hypnosis, this was a challenge for me (getting what I want).  I had to push through, sometimes using sheer willpower.  

After hypnosis, it's like I don't even try.  I just do it.  No joke.  I strongly believe, based on my own experience, that hypnosis reprograms your brain in some manner.  

My other recommendation, if you do choose to utilize this free manner of self-improvement is to do it consistently (listen to one session every day for 30 days).

And, do not listen to JUST hypnosis on discipline.  Listen to hypnosis on all different subjects (exercise, clearing negativity, becoming your ideal self, self-confidence (even if you're already confident), public speaking, etc., etc., etc.)

You will become a better person, effortlessly, quicker than you ever could by just using your willpower.

 Watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BunTAFdAH0 this morning in complete peach for 30 mins. Changed my perspective, and gave me great energy. Will try and do this every morning now! Thanks so so much for the share! 

@Cory Parish I agree with @Walter Key I am saving up for my first home purchase and intend to use "house hacking" I have no where near $30k to put down but intend on purchasing a couple doors with an FHA loan and approx 3.5% down.

Today is day 2 of my new schedule I have set in place for myself, and things are looking great! Waking up at 4:15/4:30 and meditating.  @Thomas S. Here is a screen shot of my new schedule I hope to master mon-sun with slight variation (gym monday/wed/thurs. 5am 45 mins).

Welcome. 

Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers). Find them through Google and meetup.com

Good Luck

Paul

 I'll make sure to look for some here in Arizona! I am very interested in wholesaling and feel like that's my "starting niche". Thanks for the help, keep in touch! :)

My opinion is that this hypnosis approach is not so different than the miracle morning techniques. There are several good reasons for first thing in the morning ... not only does it set the stage for the rest of your day, but also when you first wake up in the morning your conscious mind is not yet fully awake. This means that the path to reach the subconscious mind is clearer without your conscious mind blocking it. Hypnosis is similar in that it is a different method to bypass the conscious reach and program the subconscious. It is the same reason why you have some of your best ideas in the shower or commuting on the freeway when you are not directly/consciously thinking about anything ... your subconscious at work. Another classic and perhaps the grand-daddy of all these techniques is "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill ... that book is over 50 years old and will blow your mind.

 Hello David! Thanks too for your input I love the interaction I am receiving on BP, its giving me like minded people, and accountability I have not had in my short RE life. Today I woke up at 4:15 for the first time in a LOONG time. After learning about basic meditation yesterday I got right to it today meditating in front of a candle for 15 mins. I am now working online for the next 10 mins then reading for 30 / showering and headed into work by 7. This type of schedule is vital and I feel remarkably better each and everyday, not just physically but also better off because i'm simply accomplishing more. "Think and Grow Rich" has just been added to my "to read" list. I am currently listening to "The 4 Hour Work Week" by Tim Ferriss and wow is that changing perception. Thanks for the input, keep in touch. :)

Hello Hannah, I am not yet an agent but new to RE working for an investment/wholesale company in Scottsdale that recently did a flip in Arcadia in the "luxury" niche. I too am interested in focusing on luxury property sales and would love to learn more!

With my goals in line for the year, I now have no reason why I should not achieve my goals and more, the only thing stopping me is me. Last year I found my self more depressed than I have ever been, and in a scary place as far as my personal beliefs, how I valued myself, and how I saw my life unfolding. 

In Dec. of 2015 I quit my day job, and was unemployed for a couple of months and In those months I discovered 2 me's. One who slept till 12pm and wondered where my week went, and another who woke up early ate a good breakfast had a productive day and felt better overall. I became determined to improve my life by any means, and become a producer vs consumer in society. 

I began organizing  my "vision". Now that I have my goals in line it's all a matter of execution. I realized that nothing will come quickly, or better yet easy. I must train my body/mind to operate in a way it has never operated before. "To achieve something you have never achieved, you must become someone you have never been". No change comes without resistance. 

I am now mastering the art of the "scramble" learning how to become as productive as I can, each and every day. Training my mind to operate at times it never has for longer than its ever worked, I must fight social temptations and keep my vision, I must learn to LOVE reading, LOVE writing, and better yet LOVE all forms of education. 

This morning I began my goal to master daily meditation. I found - http://tunein.com/radio/Learn-To-Meditate---Medita...

I hope to become an example of productivity and work ethic. I'd love to hear about others struggle to become a "mental millionaire".
