This note arrived today and I think it will inspire you. It’s well worth the read.
“Hello Matt — Thanks for having this challenge with Tom Zeeb. My grandfather had some rental property and I enjoyed spending time with him fixing leaky faucets, painting, and learning about the houses. It is some great childhood memories. I have had a couple of rentals but have not expanded into other areas of real estate and have not made the jump to full time investing. I saw Tom Zeeb a number of years ago at my REIA meeting and enjoyed his teachings and philosophies.
I know wholesaling is easy to get into so when I saw this challenge it sparked my interest. I saw it as a sign to look seriously into real estate investing and give it a shot. With the promise of Deal Machine technology, I thought this couldn’t be any easier. I was pushed out of my comfort zone and drove around and started my first Driving for Deals.
I got about 3 blocks before I turned around to go home. I was half way home when I pulled over and refocused. I knew I needed to give this another shot. I went back and progressed slowly pulling my car over every couple of houses. After some time, I completed the drive. I was super proud I completed my first drive.
The next day it was hard in the beginning but I went and did it again. And then I won the prize after getting my 138 leads. I usually don’t win anything. I am not very lucky when it comes to winning. I would have been happy without the win, but the prize has turned the week challenge into a year challenge. I have already started setting up a business address, a website and emails and making this a business.
For this week finding time has been the biggest challenge. I did run the skip trace on my leads. To tell you the truth, I didn’t know what a skip trace was before last week. Once I get the business emails set up, I will start the mail campaign. I am looking forward to the next meeting and learning what the next steps should be.
This challenge has already transformed my life in a positive way. I’m still anxious about driving this weekend but I know it is possible to repeat it again and again.
I want to thank you Matt and Tom for a memory that will last a lifetime.
Warm Regards,
Mark
FYI – I have the drive trace in Deal machine of me bailing and heading home. A reminder of my failed first attempt.”
TOM ZEEB:
Bingo!
Amazing what taking simple action can do for you.
Lots of lessons revealed in what he wrote, read it again and let it all sink in.
Then,
Today is the final and 3rd installment of our live trainings for the Traction Challenge.
This is the same training that has benefited Mark so much.
Even if you haven’t been doing the Challenge all week, jump in for the last session today so that you can get the playbook and know what to do going forward.
No charge for this event.
