Weekly Report 3/24/2011

 

Issue #33 – Thursday, March 24, 2011

Dear [fname],

Is there a magic formula for success? I wish I could tell you there was. It could have saved me a whole lot of headaches over the years. And having the copyright on that formula would have made me an awful lot of money. Unfortunately, there’s no more magic in being successful than there is in anything else worthwhile in life. 

 

 However, from years of experiencing my own successes and failures, as well as witnessing those of others, I have identified a few mistakes that can short-circuit an entrepreneur’s rise to fortune. In this issue I’ve compiled a list of the most common roadblocks you’ll face on the road to becoming a successful real estate entrepreneur.

   

ALSO in this issue…

 

Ask Ron…a series of questions from Gold Club Members answered by me on video, so everyone can benefit. A testimonial from Gold Club member John Eden. And my Quick Tip of the week.

I hope you enjoy this issue of the Weekly Report.

Deadly Mistakes You Can Avoid

by Ron LeGrand 

 Now, you may be one of the fortunate few, and never find yourself faced with any of these problems, and that’s great. More likely, you’ll recognize parallels in your own situation in what I’m about to discuss.My goal here is to put you in a position where you can identify these pitfalls. Then, when you encounter them (and you will), you’ll be armed with the ability to direct yourself around them and get back on track . . . immediately. You won’t have to worry about these things hindering you from achieving your goals. So, let’s dive in and go down the list.

 

 

     1. Lack of focus. I define focus as concentrating only on the work you must do to succeed in your business, avoiding all distractions and not getting side-tracked by every “great idea” that pops up. It’s not easy. The world we live in today is filled with things that beg for our attention. We live in what’s being called the “Information Age”, and that’s great except all this bombardment of information makes it hard for most of us to sift through the junk and come up with the good stuff. That’s why most of us have a problem staying focused – even when we’re trying to concentrate on something we know will make us wealthy. There are a million ways to make a million bucks and every day a new avenue for riches is presented to us. But I’ve learned through trial and error (lots of error) that the only way to make something work is to filter out everything else and stick with what I know works.

    I get frustrated when I see people with tremendous potential for this business get off track with a so-called “get-rich quick” scheme (and there are a lot of them – just watch a little late-night television). If you dabble in one business, jump to another then try something else completely different, you’re not likely to be successful at any of it. Focus takes work, determination and discipline. Sometimes it hurts. Like when you have to say no to your family so you can go out and make them five or ten thousand dollars when you could be watching Seinfeld re-runs at home. Believe me, when your increased income starts showing up in trips to Disney World, new clothes, cars, etc., your spouse and kids won’t have a problem with it.

Many people stick to a solution, but never activate a plan to implement it.  It’s easier not to – it doesn’t hurt as much because sometimes the solution is unpleasant and involves temporary loss.  It’s like having an operation without anesthesia.  It may hurt, but you’ll die if you don’t.
