5 More Steps to Successful Commercial Investing
Taking Action
10. Learn something new. There is plenty of training out there. Take advantage of what’s available.
11. As you drive your trade area, give yourself a pep talk. Keep yourself pumped up.
12. There will be days when you think that no opportunities are available in your neighborhood. If that’s true, you need to build some.
13. Phone a friend. Perhaps they’ll laugh at you or give you some negative feedback - but phone them anyway.
14. Make yourself accountable for your actions by writing an activity report at the end of every day. It will make a huge difference for you. It takes 21 days to create helpful habits and mould them into your daily activity. Before you go to bed, sit down for five minutes, and write what you did today that shows how you progressed toward your goal.
Journaling is a good motivator. If you have nothing to write down for a couple days, pretty soon you’ll start kicking yourself. You’ll be determined not to have another day of nothing, and vow to make something happen that very next day.
15. Talk to ten businesses that are not currently listed for sale, about buying their building. That represents ten opportunities!
A Matter of Perspective
This shoe company wants to expand into Africa. They hire a salesman and send him over to Africa to sell shoes.
When he gets there, he calls back to his head office and says, “Hey, Boss. You’ve got to bring me home, now.”
Then he says, “You can’t sell shoes here. Nobody wears shoes. This is never going to work.” So they bring him home.
However, they are not convinced that Africa isn’t a workable opportunity. So, they hire another shoe salesman and send him over to Africa.
The very next day, they get a Voice Mail message from him. “Hello, Boss. This is Harry. Send me all the shoes you got, man. Nobody wears shoes here. We’re going to make a fortune!”
The difference between these two salesmen is perspective.
