What if there was a way to improve your investing by…

… would you be interested?

Smart investors should be all over this

It’s a type of investing that doesn’t get a lot of attention but you should think about doing. (I do it.)

Even if you are already investing in flips or rental properties, you should seriously consider making this another part of your business to cash in on the massive opportunities out there.

Investors can get stuck in a rut…

“I’m a flipper” one might say.

“I rent properties for cash flow” another might say.

… but many of them miss out on this huge opportunity to make money in real estate.

It doesn’t change the kind of investing you currently do… but it can add a significant income stream to your business, and it dramatically improves your investing and even makes your existing investing more profitable (so it dovetails nicely into your business).

I’m a big fan.

Are you doing this type of investing?

PS, Here’s a cool step-by-step way to add another stream of income to your business

http://www.taxsaleoverages.com/registration/

If you’ve done at least one or two deals then you know there can be a lot of moving parts in real estate investing. You have to find motivated sellers, you have to find cash buyers, you have to do the deal, maybe even fix up the property. You’re juggling multiple offers, a ton of phone calls, and a ton of interactions every single day.

I don’t say this to turn you off of real estate investing but rather to say: “I get it”. I know how you feel because I’m as busy as you are.

I love it, though, and I suspect you do too because it’s all part of the fun of investing.

But it can also get a little chaotic. A little hectic. It’s easy to drop the ball sometimes. While you want to always be moving forward and taking action, it can be easy to get bogged down in the details and that can keep you from taking action.

Fortunately, I’ve got a really cool strategy to share with you to help you take action as an investor

This is a productivity challenge that isn’t unique to me (someone else invented it) but I’ve applied it to real estate investing to help you take more action and get more done.

PS, Click here to view a game-changing webinar that shows you how to invest and gives you the tools to do it

As an investor, you’re meeting with motivated sellers and cash buyers with the goal of finding attractive deals, getting them under contract, and then rehabbing, renting, or wholesaling those properties.

The more credibility you have in the eyes of those sellers and buyers, the more deals you can do. The problem that many new, inexperienced investors face is: How do you gain that credibility if you have zero experience? (You’re stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place because how do you get experience if you have no credibility?!?)

You might be surprised to discover that I don’t think you actually NEED experience to have credibility. There’s a formula for credibility and the more components of this formula you demonstrate to the seller or buyer, the more credibility you’ll achieve.

Here’s the formula:

Knowledge + Plan + Experience + Confidence = Credibility

I’ll break that down for you…

1. The knowledge you have of the seller’s problem or the buyer’s opportunity
2. The plan you show the seller or buyer to do the deal
3. The experience you have from successful deals in the past
4. The confidence you have to complete the deal

Now here’s the best part: You don’t need to have all of these components; you just need to have as much of each one of them as you can. All four is great, of course, three is okay too. Fortunately, you can get 3 of the four components even without doing any deals!

Get the knowledge you need by getting educated and working with a mentor and reading everything you can get your hands on (plus listen to podcasts). Create a step-by-step plan – that’s something you can do once you know what needs to be done. And you can demonstrate confidence in your ability to do the deal even if you don’t have experience… because confidence doesn’t come from experience but from your own belief in your ability to work until you achieve a goal.

If you have an abundance of knowledge, a plan, and confidence, then experience may never even come up in the conversation with your sellers and buyers – you’ll have more than enough credibility earned from just those three components. (Just make sure you compensate for your lack of experience with a lot of education, a clear and detailed plan, and plenty of confidence.)

If you do want to gain experience to add into the credibility formula, you can do this by partnering with other investors – such as a joint venture to get your feet wet as an investor as you work with another investor on a deal.

Real estate investing is such a powerful space to make money in because it’s one of the few where experience doesn’t matter and where knowledge, a plan, and confidence can get you pretty far.

Most people get into real estate investing because they have exciting lifestyle goals that they want to meet. It’s true that investing is a great way to make money (sometimes a lot of money) and passive income, it’s really rarely about the dollar signs. Rather, it’s about the ability to work for yourself, spend more time with your loved ones, enjoy the nice house and car, pay off your parent’s mortgage, and more.

Now here’s the reality: Life is busy. And not everything about real estate investing is fun, engaging, or easy. There’s hard work and uncomfortable conversations and sometimes you have to push yourself to get going some mornings. (That’s the case with EVERY career – whether it’s a job for someone else or a business you run).

So how do you blast through procrastination and dominate each and every day? Here are 3 strategies I use.

1. Take Responsibility. Look at your family. You love them. You want the best for them. You want to give your spouse all the nice things she or he deserves, and you want to give your kids all the opportunities and advantages in life. Well guess what: it’s YOU that does that. You make that happen by picking up the phone, talking to motivated sellers, negotiating deals, talking to cash buyers, meeting people, looking at houses, dealing with your team. They won’t get done without you (even if you have a team doing the actual work for you, you still need to do something to get the work to your team). The only way you’ll get everything done is by realizing that the health, happiness, and wellbeing of your family rests on you doing the work.
2. Time Bank. Different people have different advantages – a big network, supermodel looks, or an amazing talent – just to name a few. But there’s one thing that’s the same for all of us: time. At 12:00 A.M., when the calendar flips to a new day, another 86,400 minutes are deposited into a time bank. That sounds like a LOT of time! But you use some of it up while sleeping, eating, and driving around. How much usable time do you have in the day? Far less. As each minute passes, another withdrawal is made from your time bank. If you think of those minutes as dollars, it can change how you think of the value of your time: Each day you wake up with $86,400 “dollars” in a time-bank account. And as each minute passes, you spend a dollar. Some minutes are wasted on frivolous activities, other minutes are invested with productive activities. Recalibrate your thinking this way and you’ll remember how valuable your time is!
3. Do One Thing Right Now. It’s easy to procrastinate when you feel overwhelmed at having so many things to do at once. And I’m a notorious multitasker – doing many things at the same time. But if you find yourself procrastinating, it’s because you feel like you have so many things that your brain just sort-of shuts down. So list everything on a piece of paper and just take one small action on the first thing right now. Don’t worry about anything else. Just do one thing right now.

These three simple mindset shifts are really powerful to change your thinking and end procrastination. When you do that, you suddenly discover that you have so much time every day to get so much done! Your investing empire awaits and now nothing is holding you back from building it!

I’ve said it before: if you want to succeed in the investing business and achieve the things you want in life, you need to set goals.

You don’t need to do spend very long researching goals to discover the well-known and much loved “SMART” system for goal setting – the acronym that spells out Specific, Measurable,Actionable (or Achievable), Realistic, and Timely (or Team, depending on who you’re paying attention to).

In spite of that, people still set really crappy goals and then fail to achieve them. So this week I’m focused on showing you how to set goals and how to increase the likelihood that you’ll achieve them. Today I’ll show you a powerful way to create amazing goals that you’ll love achieving, and later this week I’ll show you the powerful yet counter-intuitive method that I use with my team to get more stuff done. So stay tuned for that.

Here’s how to create really powerful goals…

1. Set your big goal. Start with your vision. What do you want to achieve? I’ll use a real estate investing example but this can apply to anything. Do you want to do 10 deals a month? Do you want to make six figures in passive income each year? Apply the SMART strategy to create the goal.

That’s where most people stop but that’s just the beginning. There’s more (but most people don’t realize this, which is why they don’t achieve their goals).

1. Reverse engineer for daily objectives: Once you have your goal, you need to reverse engineer it by dividing it into a period of time. If it’s a monthly goal, you need to divide it into the number of days in the month. If it’s a yearly goal, you need to divide it into the number of days in the year. I like getting it down to a daily number. So let’s say you want to do 10 deals a month. Well that means you need to complete a deal every 3 days.
2. Identify daily actions that achieve your daily objectives: Once you’ve got the daily number, then figure out what you need to do each day to make that happen. In my example, I need to figure out what I need to do to complete a deal every 3 days. Sure, some deals might take longer but some deals might not take as long; I need to average that out. So how do I do that? What specific actions do I need to take each day? For example, how many calls to motivated sellers? Or how many calls to cash buyers?
3. Put those actions on your schedule. Once you know EXACTLY what actions to take, put those actions on your schedule so that you can be sure you are taking action daily on your goals.

This strategy is very powerful but often overlooked. Too many investors just create their goals then take some action but wonder why they don’t achieve their goals. This will help because it forces you to tie your goals to specific daily actions.th
