Well..based on the fact that we’ve got like an inch of ice…and then a buncho snow on top…I decided to try out a couple of these tips that my wonderful mom emailed me a few weeks ago!

And they actually work….so figured you guys might be able to use them!!

Enjoy!

Jason

P.S. Leave a comment if you try them out to let me know what works and if any of them don’t!

Alright…today, we’re going to talk about the 5 Steps to Success in Flipping Properties.

Five Steps…

Simple, right? Well, yes…yes it is!

So, if you haven’t had success, or your bank account is empty, then get back to the FUNDAMENTALS! That’s where the money is made…that’s what you need to keep your focus on. Master the fundamentals, and you’ll have rock solid success.

Just ask Tiger Woods…

Hmm…maybe not the best example….let’s go with Michael Jordan.

So, here are the 5 Fundamentals to Flipping Properties. Master these, and you can essentially write your own check. Of course, it may just be me, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to master our mindset than it is to master these fundamentals. But you’re probably different, right?

Here they are:
1. Find it (Find a property, owned by a motivated seller)…Most people who flip properties think this has to be a junker. Now, don’t get me wrong…if you’re brand spankin’ new at this, then yeah, you’ll probably want to start out with junkers. But…you can essentially flip anything that is a deal. Let me say that again for some of you that didn’t get it the first time: YOU CAN ESSENTIALLY FLIP ANYTHING THAT IS A DEAL. There, was that better? The key is having the knowledge to recognize what IS a deal and what IS NOT a deal.

2. Lock it Up – Well yeah…you can’t sell a property unless you’ve got an “Interest” in it. Now, there are a few ways that you can “lock up” a property. My favorite is to get it under contract, with a contract that protects me in case I’ve screwed something up.

3. Find a Buyer – OK…if you’ve found a deal…then guess what…finding a buyer will be a CAKE WALK. Even in this market.

4. Get Paid – This is the FUN part. It’s also the part that doesn’t seem right…especially when you’ve spent a very small amount of time, and get paid a big chunk o’ change. This will mess with your head…especially the first time you do it!

5. Do It Again – This is the hard part. You know it works…why aren’t you doing it.

So…Jason…what’s the deal with this 5 steps crap….this is too easy….this is waaaay beginner stuff!!

Exactly….then why aren’t you doing it?

Ouch….did that hurt? Did I hear someone being called to the carpet?

But seriously…it’s true…Flipping Properties is simple, easy….and the only thing stopping you is what’s between your ears.

Till next time,

Jason

P.S. Thank ALL of you that have been Praying for Carrie! I got some wonderful emails, and I’ve got to say that since my “Street Cop Prayer Warriors” have been out there doing your thing, Carrie has improved immensely. Her temp went down, and they were able to give her some blood. They think she has a form of lupus, but still not sure. She is up and about, and in good spirits. The only downside today was that her body isn’t processing the iron…and she’s been on iron pills since the pregnancy. Anyway..thanks again, and please do keep her in your prayers.

P.P.S. In just a few days I’ll be starting a Weekly Book Review of Think & Grow Rich. If you’re getting my emails, then you’ll get this. If not, then sign up by putting your name and email address in the box on the right…and you’ll get my free mini e-course as well! Seriously…this is a CLASSIC book, and there will be some breakthroughs by people that are a part of it!

Mia Pierce

Hey guys,

This is Mia! Our latest blessing.

Now, Mia is a huge blessing because her mom, my sister in law, Carrie had about 5 miscarriages before Mia was born. I can’t begin to even imagine, but Mia is a huge blessing. Came into the world last month, about 3-4 weeks early. Mia is fine and healthy.

Carrie is not.

Carrie just got admitted to the hospital, and is having all sorts of problems…water on lungs, 104 temperature, signs of lupus, needs a blood transfusion. They can’t give her blood until her temperature goes down, and the ice packs have been melting as soon as they hit her skin.

So, I have a strong conviction in the Power of Prayer, and I’d like to ask you all to lift up Carrie Pierce in prayer. Mia needs to have a healthy mom!

Thanks in advance for your prayers for this precious one’s mom!

Hey guys…

For the New Year, I decided to reread Napoleon Hills Classic “Think & Grow Rich”.

I’m learning a ton of stuff from it that I swear wasn’t in it the last time I read it!

Anyway, it’s such good stuff that I figured I’d do a “review” of a chapter every week or so, so if you’re not already on my “list”, then be sure to enter your email and name in the box on the side, and along with my E-Course, I’ll send you the review emails on the chapters as I go through them.

And…to better benefit from it….why don’t you go to a bookstore and pick up a copy of this! I mean…it’s a classic, and it won’t break the bank…seriously, it’s like six bucks or so!

Till next time!!

Jason

P.S. If you know anyone else that want’s to “work through the book”, feel free to share this with them! Let’s get the new year started right!!

Hey guys….I’ve had bunch of people wanting info on this…and since I’m running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off (No offense Tim…aka…ChickenCop…See the earlier blog entry if you want to know the full story!

Anyway, this service is uber cool! I’d heard about all of those concierge medical doctors that give you more access to them at like $1500 a year and up! Well, I’ve got the same thing….for FREE! So, if you want to see how you can get access to call a doc 24/7/365, AND have them call you back in 30 mins-3 hrs, and diagnose you over the phone, even calling in a prescription if need be! Heck…no more heading to the Emergency Room with my $200 deductible and 2 hours of waiting with the kiddos just to get in (well…unless it’s an emergency). So…the video has a powerpoint that I stumble through to explain it…the costs are $299 to startup, no annual fees, and then it’s just $40 a month in Oklahoma, Vermont, or Florida, and $50 a month everywhere else. And there’s a very easy way that you can get $40 of it back just by saving your Gas & Grocery receipts. I’ll show you on the video!

If you’re ready to sign up, just go to http://www.jasonsimpson.provisionus.com and you can learn more and sign up for it. They’ve got a ton more benefits…I just signed up for the one! It’s a great thing if you’ve got kids!!

And to reiterate… $299 to Sign Up, $39.95 a month in Oklahoma, Vermont, Florida, $49.95 a month in the other states. …and you can get a $40 rebate if you spend $100 in groceries and $100 in gas each month (..and seriously..is there anyone that doesn’t..lol)! So it really makes it a no-brainer! Seriously though…there’s really not a reason NOT to sign up!

I finally watched the show “are you smarter than a 5th
grader” today…and it got me to thinking…

While I enjoyed the show, it kind of reminded me of the
story of Henry Ford being labelled an idiot, and the lawsuit
that ensued afterwards, with them asking him all sorts of
useless facts. Ford finally got fed up with it and made a
statement that was something like “why should I fill my mind
with random facts when I could press a button on my phone
and find the answer to that in seconds if I need to?”

Now, I know that’s not the “word-for-word” story, but you
get the gist…

So, here’s my question…

Are You Richer Than a 5th Grader?

And I ain’t talking about a 5th grader with “daddy’s
money”….I’m talking about an “average” fifth grader.

My point is that most people don’t have two nickles to rub
together, or are so far in debt that they don’t know what in
the heck to do.

Most fifth graders are at least at zero.

So, where do you fall in?

Is it what you planned?

Is it what you’ve worked for years upon years of slaving
away for “the man” to achieve?

And if not….then WHAT IS GOING ON??

Maybe you need to CHANGE SOMETHING!!!

Think about it.

Seriously…while money ain’t everything, it sure as hell
can solve a LOT of issues. And if you haven’t decided to do
something about your situation, then maybe you need a wakeup
call. If you’re in the United States, you’ve got NO EXCUSE
for not realizing ANY dream or goal that you have. Period.

Now, I ain’t “knockin’” other countries, but seriously,
there are people that would give body parts to have the
opportunities that I do and millions do JUST BY LIVING IN
THE UNITED STATES. And WE TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED.

That ain’t right.

So, as we “end” the Thanksgiving holiday, if you’re in the
U.S. of A, then take a minute to realize the gift that
you’ve been given that millions don’t have. Let’s not waste
that!

Talk soon,

Jason Simpson

P.S. If you haven’t signed up for my free 12 part mini
e-course, now wouldn’t be a bad time to do so. I mean, if
you’re not richer than a 5th grader, ESPECIALLY if you live
in the US, you need to change something. I’d be more than
happy to help!

Ok…this is NOT Real Estate related, but I just found about something really cool and I’m in the middle of getting MORE info on it. I REALLY think this could help some people in a HUGE way!

Basically it’s a VERY AFFORDABLE program where instead of going to the Doc’s office, dealing with ER waiting rooms, or other waiting rooms with a bunch of sick people, you can actually have the Doc call YOU, diagnose YOU or a family member over the phone, and prescribe you what you need. So, instead of waiting for hours, you could actually be picking up your ’script in about an hour from the pharmacy.

Not gonna go into detail here on it, but if you want info as I get it, stick your name/email down below, and I’ll make sure to send you info as I get it!

Jason

But Jason, can I do this??

That’s the question I get asked…

A LOT!

Personally I understand….totally!

With all the crappy messages out here, and hearing about
failure after failure in the news (we don’t hear the
good stories. Good news doesn’t SELL! So by all the
negative stuff out there, it’s a wonder that we have the
confidence to do anything!

Now, let me tell you this…

YOU CAN DO THIS!

YOU CAN SUCCESSFULLY INVEST IN REAL ESTATE!

YOU CAN BECOME A MILLIONAIRE!!

How do I know???

Well, I’ve seen COUNTLESS people in every sort of
situation that have DONE IT!

YOU CAN JOIN THEM!

How???

Well, first you’ve got to get rid of your “stinkin’
thinkin’”. The best way to do that is to FLOOD your head
with the stuff that needs to go into it by:

1. Reading Good Books
I usually mix my selection between the how-to and
the “motivation” type stuff. There’s TONS of how-to,
and for the motivation, I love Brian Tracy, Zig Ziglar,
Tony Robbins, Norman Vincent Peale, and others! Just
remember, it’s great to know how-to..provided you’re
actually doing something. If you’re not, then why bother?

2. Listening to Good Courses
I don’t care if you’re going to “Live Events”
or if you’re listening to audios on your CD Player in the
car. I am ALWAYS listening to something that’s going to
move me toward my goals. Remember…EVERYTHING YOU DO
MATTERS! EVERYTHING you do is either moving you towards
your goals, or away from them!

You might as well make your “travel time” productive!

Right?

and finally…

3. Hang around the RIGHT People!!

This is Huge!

THIS IS HUGE!

HUGE!!

If you’re around people that are unsuccessful, slackers
that don’t have a bit of self confidence, then what kind
of an effect do you think that will have in your self
confidence?

If you hang around SUCCESSFUL people, people that dream
big, and do big, people that encourage you, then what
kind of an effect do you think will have on you?

That is important. You’ve got to get AWAY from the
condescending naysayers out there! The people that drag
you down because they want you to stay where they are.

They are a POISON to your success!!

Unfortunately it’s not illegal to steal someone’s dreams
goals and ambitions! And it happens way too much!

So, seriously….I believe in you….You were created by
a MASTER Carpenter….HE believes in you!

Why don’t YOU believe in YOU??

You can do this!!

Do something TODAY!!

Talk Soon,

Jason

1. Decide what you want – This is important
as if you don’t know what you want, then how
will you know if you achieved it. You have to
be specific. Do you want to purchase a certain
number of homes in the next year? Do you want to
do your FIRST deal? Do you want to make X amount
of cash? Do you want to increase your net worth
by a certain amount? Decide what EXACTLY it is
that you want, and write it down, preferably somewhere
that you will see it 2-3 times per day, or more!

2. Find someone who has done what you want to
accomplish -

If you know what you want, then the easiest way to
determine what you need to do is find someone who has
done what you want to do, and then do it.

Here’s a secret tip…

Find someone that has done it, who was in a situation
worse than yours that was able to overcome it. That
can make you have the belief that you can do what you
need to do! It is amazing the number of people that
have found success after seeing someone else do
something that they didn’t think was possible. It’s
even more amazing when the person to achieve success
first did so at a definate disadvantage!

3. Figure out what price you will have to pay to
get what you want. Then, and most importantly…

PAY IT!

Make sense?

Most people CRINGE at the third step…they don’t
take ACTION! They can and will read books, take
courses, and go through the motions of believing that
they are actually moving forward

But they’re not…

And that’s the scariest thing of all. If you fail to
take MASSIVE ACTION to move toward your goals, then
you are just kidding yourself. Your job is to find out
what ACTIONS will provide you with the most deals in
Real Estate, and then take those ACTIONS immediately.

…but what if you fail???

Guess what…

You will! I did too! It’s ok…that’s how we learn.

The easiest way to fail is to understand what your
biggest “risks” are in this business, whether real
or just perceived. Then decide that to succeed in a
big way, it is worth it to fail to succeed!

Yeah, I know that’s confusing, but two things I’ve
learned are this……

1. Once you decide to pay the price to succeed and
decide what you’re willing to do, most of the time
you won’t have to pay that price!

2. Once you’ve decided that you’re ok with failing
your way to success, you most likely won’t have to fail
near as much as you think to reach success!

and finally…

3. What are you doing still reading this…what ONE
action can you take RIGHT NOW…TODAY…that will put
you one step towards your goals???

Get after it!!!

Now!!!!

And congrats!! I’ll see you on the other side. And
remember…success is just on the other side of failure!

See you there,

Jason
