My first check was far away from 20,000 and instead of 30 days it took me about 5 months to close my first deal. Within those months I worked hard, continued to endure in this economy, and allow myself to become transformed through my own hardship. If its easy for you to make $20,000 in one day, I'm pretty sure you'll loose that money within 15. The problem with our american society, no the problem with the progression of our american society is that we lack endurance. In essence I wish i was so business-minded within my youth, for I would've been the person making money within this lack of endurance;is that wrong?Many Businessmen have become RICH playing off the insecurities and lack of moral fortitude that the media portrays, am I wrong for wanting to do the same thing?Ok, lets put this into perspective. Go to any real estate coach, and ask them to mentor you one-on-one.They'll either say 3 things. "Yes, i'll mentor you for a fee off of the closing cost", "No,I'm To Busy", or "Buy these certain courses while I mentor you". My problem is with the third choice. Now I've met COUNTLESS investors who did not buy any courses, yet just had a mentor willing to take the time to educate their apprentice.I've also met COUNTLESS wannabe investors who invested their hard earned cash into these courses from "real estate specialist" who in fact probably don't even do real estate anymore, because SO MANY people are buying their courses. Do I despise those people?Yes, Do I wish I thought of it first?HELL YES!, but I would be more merciful.
I understand completely how many of us feel in life. We were told when we were young, go to college, get a job, get married, have kids and DIE!;who wants that life?I'm sorry that I'm not self loathing today, but as i read countless blogs from single parents, and pregnant teenagers I'm sitting here saying to myself WHAT THE FUCK? What is this boring routine in which our environment has shaped for us?What is the meaning of that life?You the businessman will take into the account the single mom who needs money to allure her into investing her 700 dollars(when she only makes 1000 a month) into your course in hopes for her to receive that 20,000 check in 30 days. I wouldn't even call you a businessman, you arn't so clever, I would instead call you a bottom feeder, feeding off of those less educated, and riddled with overwhelming mistakes in there life,
This is what I see in Real Estate today, well haha atleast from the starting out perspective. Their are alot of good people out there willing to help, and i'm 100% certain those who are more willing to help will last in the long run. Well in actuality I can't say that, some people are just very good scammers. :D
I agree. A bunch of bottom feeders, not educators.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, the "american dream" to most people is so mundane, uninteresting, and without true purpose.
