Another day comes to a close…

Thanks for sticking with us today, we may not have done a lot on video today, but I got a lot of things accomplished. Especially in the arena of building my networking lists. I followed the advice of both Mitch and Joe and have begun to build my first distribution list (for emailing to prospective clients, agents, partners etc.) and I’ve done so absolutely free. I’ve been going through the free magazines I picked up in the café and have started building my list from all the advertisements in them. It was quick, easy and again very free. At this point in my fledgling career, I’m almost too broke to pay attention if you know what I mean…and getting slammed with a $1,000 repair bill for my car today did not do wonders for my financial situation either. But I know that things will get better and I will continue to strive to learn and improve myself and become a successful real estate investor. I’m hoping that in a few years I can look back on this time and laugh off the “hard times.” I do have a full-time job still as I remind you nearly everyday, and as such, I have to mine for email addresses during my lunch time or whenever I get a free minute. I’m sure many of you are in the same boat. It takes a little time, but if you can get halfway organized you’ll find time to accomplish all your tasks. Besides, this one will someday pay dividends. Tomorrow we meet with Shannon Stephen, if all goes well, she’s an insanely busy person and has graciously invited me into her world to learn about CMAs…which I think means Comparative Market Analysis, but we’ll find out more tomorrow if she has time. I believe this will prove to be invaluable to the burgeoning and enduring success of my career, as it plays such a crucial role in deciding to purchase a property. But we’ll let her explain that to us tomorrow, I’d hate to make too many bold statements one way or the other and then have to eat my words. I hope you read Joe’s post just below this one, it’s full of incredibly important information and sheds a little light on the marketing aspect of real estate…an almost obsession (in a very good, profitable way) for him. I’ll be back at it in the morning, check out the discussion forum, it’s starting to come to life and as always, stay plugged in…back to www.WealthAddress.Com.
