Real Estate Investing Plan Made Simple

When I see a real estate investing plan from a client, I also see a lot of “I need” in it.

I’m just as guilty.

I’ve said “I need to…” a LOT in my life too.

Being an entrepreneur all my life, it’s basically ALL I said.

• I need to get focused
• I need more customers
• I need to just get this thing done so I can live better
• I need to manage my time better
• I need to organize my desk
• I need to spend more time with my kids
• I need to spend alone time with my wife
• I need to chill out and let my mind shut down

I could go on and on and on.

Guess what.

Forty or so years passed and I was still in the “I need to…” stage.

How I Got Clear About My Real Estate Investing Plan

I’ll never forget what my coach Greg Habstritt said to me inside a private mastermind:  “maybe that’s why you are where you are”

Do you know WHY he said that?

He told me that because I kept asking him to help me:

“I need you to help me to…[insert need]”

But I refused to change my approach to get it whatever he said to do.

And it’s the same with our real estate investing plan.

People say how much they NEED to get focused. 

They NEED to get balance and rid of stress and chaos.

They NEED to get more properties so they can have more money and live a better lifestyle.

You name it, they “need” to do something about it.

But most people are just NOT willing to change what they’re doing to get it.

Oh, but they SAY they are…just like I did.

In fact, I  fought Greg for three months before I finally woke up. I thought

I thought “Geez, if I still NEED all these things after 45 years, maybe he’s right.”

That epiphany helped me catapult into higher levels in my real estate business just because I was focused on the real estate investing plan for real this time.

I believe that sooner or later we ALL have this realization.

My purpose in writing this is to help you realize it sooner than I did.

I’ve coached so many people with the same pattern.  They’re constantly on the hamster wheel and it’s painful to watch because I know how it feels.

The strategy everyone is looking for is simple.

Here’s the real estate investing plan simplified:

Adjust what’s not working for you and do something different.

But here’s the catch.  DON’T KEEP JUMPING AROUND THE FIRST TIME IT DOESN’T SEEM TO WORK.

Do you know why you should listen to me?

Because I’ve done that same thing throughout my life.

Much of my “success” was quitting when it got tough and then moving to another area.

Really?

Yea, that’s tough to admit, but it’s the truth.

And, it’s STILL what so many people do today.

They LIE to themselves about how “successful” and “productive” they are.

When I STOPPED the cycle, I STARTED to achieve real success.

And the success is not the ‘million dollars’ everyone wants in the bank.

The success I have today are many of the ‘needs’ I spoke of at the top 😉
