Today, I was the authority.

Today I spent a good part of my day on the phone, and having coffee with, new "real estate investors". These are people who spent tens of thousands of dollars to sit in classes and listen to experts tell them how to get rich in real estate this month.



I'm sure these experts (authorities) really do know how to buy and sell real estate with no money down, so why can't their students go out and make it happen?



Dolf De Roos tells a story on how he did a study to determine how many of his students actually became real estate investors. If I remember correctly, the number he came up with was 3%. Out of all of the thousands of students he taught over the years, only 3% ever took action on the information they learned from him.



I'm debating with myself over the answer to this question. On one hand I think it's probably fear that keeps people from acting on their dreams, and on the other, I believe it's a serious lack of self-confidence. Perhaps these two really go hand in hand. They're evil twins infecting 97% of our population, and education is the only cure.

In the beginning...

If you're anything like me, you have grown up with the idea that should go to school, get good grades, get a job and save for retirement. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail! What if this isn't the truth? What if there is another way, a better way of thinking?

I have been studying success for a few years now and this is what I've found...

It's not about the money. Successful people provide goods and services that are valuable to others. The more value you create, the more money will flow to you. So, if you are asking yourself "How can I make more money?" you are asking the wrong question! Making money is called counterfeiting (unless it's Uncle Sam doing the making) and it is illegal! We need to earn it. We do that by creating value for others.

So, my question of the day is "How can I create more value for others?"

Hmmm, good question...If I had the ability to create massive value, I wouldn't need to ask this question in the first place. So, I think I need to take this question up a level. There are people out there who are successful at what I want to do. It stands to reason that if I do what they have done, I'll get the same results. As of today I'm going to Question Authority and write down their answers!
