Tying Up Loose Strings

I have stepped back into a bad habit of not completing things I start. For example, I am reading about five books now. “How did that happen,” you’re probably wondering. I dunno <hunching my shoulders> I guess a lack of focus. But, I have a cure for that. It’s called a plan. Yes, I have a plan for 2013 and I know that that will be my guide. I wrote down my goals for 2013 and shared it with my mastermind group. Next, I broke down those goals into smaller monthly goals that will help me reach my big goals.

My number one goal is to get my first deal. I can’t tell you how important that one is to me. I feel like I have been on this uphill climb for over a year and I am wondering how close the peek is from where I am currently. I have continued to put money in my marketing account. It has been so difficult to build up my account, spend a lump sum on marketing, get a zero cash result, then have to build it back up again.

A huge lesson has been learned and that is, I want to be different from other investors. I was doing what a lot of investors do, including sending out similar marketing letters. To help myself stand out, I revamped my marketing letter and completely changed my attitude from “taker” to “giver.” I want to do well in this business. The late and great Zig Ziglar said, “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.”

I am finishing up How to Wake Up the Financial Genius Inside of You by Mark O. Haroldsen. I have two more books I would like to finish this month. I am trying to read at least two books each month.

Ciao!
