Spend a Day with The Diamond
A lot of people aren't sure what the a day in the life of a real estate investor consists of...people ask me all the time if I look at property everyday or if I am always on the phone or if I am in my car all day driving all over the place and my answer...it's none of those. So to answer the questions of those who are interested, I simply say to come and spend a day with me. Watch what it is that I do during the course of a day in the world of creative real estate. Maybe that will help some of you take the needed steps to free yourself from a nagging job or a miserable life of doing something that you don't want to be doing in the first place.
But don't be surprised if what we do during most of the day has little to do with real estate. Maybe you'll see me make a few decisions and delegate a few tasks via email but depending on what I have going on, you may not see a lot of real estate jargon or property talk going on. In fact, my phone really does not ring as much as many people you may know. I'm not available 24/7 like so many others say they are and my life is not stressful or dictated by the ebb and flow of "the market." However, I've set up systems so that my business goes on 24/7 regardless if I'm working it or not. It's about working on your business instead of in your business. I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man.
By the way, what is this mythical creature called "the market." It sounds more like some sort of jargon or excuse that I'm supposed to understand or relate to. It must be the fact that I don't watch TV because I don't really know what you're talking about. You know, if one more person tells me that they have a slow business because of "the market," I'm going to correct them and say "No, you have a slow business because of YOU. You are the reason that your business is slow, you are the reason that you are always complaining and you are the reason for your own reality." Ah, what a breath of fresh air. Somebody still speak the truth. They try to talk some sense in him, 30 minutes later see there's no convincing him. What more could you ask for? And the truth is that you can also change your current reality. Once you take accountability for your own results, there is a freedom that comes from that. But to do that, you're probably going to have to do some things differently than what you are doing right now. It's not harder, just different. Embrace change.
So my offer stands, drop me an email and we'll set up a day. You can pick my brain as long as you pick up the tab on my 20 minute massage from the Massage Mob over at the mall. Yes, I will give in...and make some time to talk about real estate and maybe you can even force me to show you a property I have under contract. It will give me another topic to write my next article on. Until then....Diamond life goes on...and on...and on...like that Energizer bunny.
