1. DECIDE what you want! Nothing in life is going to
happen unless you know, EXACTLY what you want. Period.

Most people go through life and just deal with the ebb and
flows of life without having a clue what they want. If you
want to EXPLODE your business, you NEED to be different than
“most people”. Decide EXACTLY what you want out of this
thing….write it down, read it daily, make a dream board
and put your dreams and goals on it! If you don’t know what
you want, EXACTLY, then guess what….you ain’t getting it!

2. FIND the tool to get you what you want….

Once you know WHAT you want…you’ve got to find a way to
get there. There are tons of avenues to make money in Real
Estate, so explore the avenues and figure out what fits both
your interest level AND has the potential to get you what
you want! If you want a chunk of cash quickly, it could be
by wholesalilng, if you want cashflow, you might want to
invest in property long term. If you don’t like management,
then look at ways to control property or to create notes.
There are literally thousands of ways to make money in real
estate. Find out what works, and what works for you!

3. INVEST in your future…

Now, this sure as he!! doesn’t have to be money…when I
started I was dead broke….so paying “Rich Dad” $70,000 for
their top of the line program wasn’t in my playbook…but I
could go to the library and learn from some books there at
NO COST. I could also purchase some stuff from the local
bookstore and online…I read forums, I made contacts with
people that knew what they were doing. You can too. Now, I
regularly purchase more expensive courses to continue my
learning, I’ve got a budget to do so from the deals I do. I
suggest you do the same. While it’s often true that “you
get what you pay for”, there ARE ways to get started
learning this business with little or no cash out of your
pocket. So if you don’t have cash right now to invest in
your education….take the TIME that you do have to learn!
You’re going to invest with both time and cash in the long
term if you want to kill it in the Real Estate Investing
Business!

4. Find A MENTOR….

If you can find someone who has “been there” and “done that”
and is willing to help you evaluate deals and walk you
through them, then it is worth it’s weight in gold. I’ve
given people HALF the deal when I got started just so I
could learn from them. I was willing to do ALL the work,
and give them half if they’d just walk me through it.
Sometimes having a mentor can give you the extra boost you
need just to believe you can do it for yourself!

5. Learn the Art of Marketing…

Sure…you can probably do this business and make a decent
income without learning this, BUT if you want to EXPLODE
your Real Estate Investing Income, you WILL learn the art of
marketing to put your business a “step above” the others in
your community. Trust me….a little knowledge and a
handful of ideas with this will go a LONG WAY in making your
business EXPLODE!!

6. Get OUT of your business….

If you want to EXPLODE your income, then you need to get out
of doing all of the menial tasks and focus on the major
items. Once you’ve done a few deals, I recommend getting a
Personal Assistant (hint…this is NOT your spouse, business
partner, friend…etc…) to help do all the crap you don’t
want to do so you can focus on the money getting!

7. Become the GO-TO guy in your market…

Not only for people looking for houses, but also for other
investors. If you’re a wholesale expert, become THE EXPERT
in your area so that the other investors in your area turn
to you for advice, bring you the deals, etc. Attend the
local meetings so that people will come to YOU for advice,
help, etc with deals….YOU need to establish yourself as
the GO-TO guy for your specialty.

8. Automate, Automate, Automate….

Once you’ve done some deals, you need to have a Turn-Key
System to handle your deal management from beginning to
end…from marketing, to lead collection, to follow up, to
close, to sale….etc. There are ways out there to do this
EXTREMELY WELL, but honestly, they’re going to require that
you have a few deals under your belt and invest in a
“turn-key management solution”. It ain’t for the guy
getting started, but it IS something that you’ll NEED to do
if you want to EXPLODE your Business!

9. Take MASSIVE Action!

There is nothing that occurs in life without this step.
There are plenty of “learned” people that are unsuccessful.
If you want to blow the doors off the gates, then you can’t
just take a little bit of action: you have to take MASSIVE
ACTION!!! In doing this, it will set you apart from the
crowd and be the key point in exploding your Real Estate
Riches!

And finally….the last tip to EXPLODE your REAL ESTATE
INVESTMENT INCOME…you MUST….

10. EMBRACE FAILURE

Now….yeah….this seems WAY outside the box….but if you
do what everyone else does, you’re going to get what
everyone else gets. A part of learning, growing, and
achieving is failure. So understand that you’re going to
fail….it’s gonna happen…accepting that and being willing
to get through the failure on a massive scale will skyrocket
you to success. Now…you can still make money while
failing…my 1st “failure” in Real Estate paid me $5,000 in
about 30 days with appx 8 hours of work. That…is a FACT!
Babe Ruth, the KING of Home Runs….was also the leader in
Strikeouts. There’s a valuable lessen in that…so:
EMBRACE FAILURE…the quicker you do that, the quicker your
business will EXPLODE!

I hope that you enjoy these tips…but I REALLY hope that
you’ll do something more than just read them. Reading them
will get you NOWHERE….taking ACTION on what you’ve read
will take you anywhere you wish to go!

How to Thank a Veteran Today

Hey guys and gals….with Memorial Day coming up tomorrow, I thought
it’d be a good topic to hit on…so, here goes…

The best way you could thank a serviceman today is by living your life
in a manner that is worthy of that which they put on the line day in
and day out…period.

Yes…you read that right.

Here’s my take….as a former Naval Reservist and as a full time
Police Officer, I’ve had people come up to me and thank me for my
“service” from time to time. And to tell you the truth, it’s pretty
awkward. Most of the guys & gals that I know of that are Military,
Police, Firemen, Paramedics and the like that I have talked with about
it do it because they enjoy it, because it’s a part of them, and
because it’s what they’ve been “called” to do. And…most of them
don’t do it for the recognition (most of them feel pretty awkward when
they get it as well) …and they sure don’t do it for the exhorbitant
pay. They’re aware of the danger and risks, but they don’t FOCUS on
those, although they DO focus on keeping as safe as possible while
getting the job done.

So….what’s a better way to thank the Soldiers that are serving our
country and risking their lives day in and day out, as well as those
that we remember today that have paid the ultimate sacrifice??

Value your country as much as they do.

Let me illustrate….

I’m not sure where I got the figure from, but I believe that it was
from one of Brian Tracy’s programs and I learned that a foreigner
coming into the United States with NOTHING is 10X more likely to
become a millionaire than someone born here.

Why is that???

I believe it’s simple. They recognize what the United States offers
that other countries do not. You’ve heard the statement that
“familiarity breeds contempt”. Well, I’ve got to tell you that there
are tons of U.S. citizens that have forgotten the opportunity and the
abilities that YOU have just by being born and living in the U.S.

Are you one of those that has forgotten this?

Now…I’m not saying that you have to be a millionaire to do this
(although that would be cool too)…but…think about it…are you
living in a way that respects the sacrifices of the lives that have
been given for you to have the life that you do have?

So….again…..I say that the best way you can thank and honor a
service member (living or deceased) this Memorial Day is by realizing
the opportunity that YOU have, living where you live and living your
life in a way that takes advantage of this as opposed to wasting your
life away. If you waste your life away with the tremendous
opportunities that you have BECAUSE we’ve got great men and women that
are willing to die, and do die every day for you to have the
opportunities and life that you have, then it is an insult to our
service members and their service.

This Memorial Day….don’t thank a service member by making them feel
awkward…..thank them by taking stock of your life, the opportunities
around you, and LIVING YOUR LIFE IN A WAY THAT GIVES THEM HONOR!
Otherwise, you are doing them a disservice and their lives and service
for you has been wasted.

Keep in mind…there are people EVERY SINGLE DAY that are willing to
give up everything and risk death just for a chance to have the
opportunities here in the United States that we have been given by
those service men and women that have given their lives for you to
have them. Please don’t take it for granted.

Jason Simpson

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!

Jason

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…

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!

Jason

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!
