Mentoring Will Cure The Paralysis Of Analysis
One of the biggest problems facing the new Real Estate investor is getting off the dime and pulling the trigger. Professional course collectors and boot camp attendees abound in the real estate industry. Some of the students that I take on have told me the amounts they have spent on courses, boot camps, retreats, conventions and other real estate related events and it staggers the imagination. Some of these students should have just gone out and bought a house with the money they spent on their real estate education. Don’t get me wrong I’m a believer in education because the cost of not having the education can be enough to run them out of the business altogether.
Having said all of that there comes a time when you have to put your fear aside, bite the bullet and take action. The problem as I see it is that most people seem to think that if they make a mistake all is lost and it’s over. The fear factor is alive and well and is hard to overcome if you are going it alone. In addition if all you have is a manual to get you through you quickly find that they are guides not the answer man and the real world often renders them useless.
Most new investors have either been told or some how come to believe that if they don’t know it all before they pull the trigger they don’t stand a chance. Nonsense! The only way to learn anything in the real world is to go out there and slop it up. How do you think I know that? One thing to keep in mind is that you can slop it up king size or regular. Most people when left to their own devices go the king size route but those that don’t go down the road alone fall into the regular group.
This is where a mentor comes into the picture. Mentors are there to get students to take action and to prevent the student from wallowing around with the king size group. Mistakes are part of the learning curve but there is no learning curve if there is no action taken. The object is to take action and minimize the mistakes. Mentors are an invaluable asset to get the investor motivated and moving in the right direction.
Nothing in life comes for free and the cost of a real estate education can be pretty stiff unless you know where to shop. That brings me to my Earn While You Learn Lease Option Mentoring Program. Come on you didn’t think you’d make it all the way through this article without a plug did ya? Anyway, I have put together a mentoring program that takes the sticker shock out of getting a mentor on your side. In my Earn While You Learn Lease Option Mentoring Program there is no up front fee for the mentoring only a small purchase of the manual you’ll need to participate in my program. We will agree to joint venture a minimum of five deals together that I will teach you to find and walk you through from start to finish and we will split the profit 50/50. I specialize in Lease Options and you will earn while you are learning and I will be paid my fee only if I can get you making money. It’s called win-win!
Top 5 Productivity Apps for Your Android Phone/Tablet
First of all, what is productivity? Henry Ford famously said “improved productivity means less human sweat, not more.” Essentially meaning, working smarter, not harder. Whether it’s in the office, on the football field or even around the house, being productive is something a lot of us strive for, only to fall short. Why? Well, one of the biggest reasons is distractions. And one of the biggest distractions are our phones and tablet devices.
So how do we harness an otherwise distracting device in to a tool to help you become more productive? Well we’ve put together a list of our top 5 productivity apps for your Android phone/tablet.
Asana
Do you work as part of a team? Sick of messy email threads between multiple departments? Well Asana will make your life so much easier. Essentially it’s a one stop shop project management app. You can create projects, assign tasks to users, set deadlines, comment, upload photos and much much more.

Standing for “If this then that” IFTTT is the ultimate productivity app. As the name might suggest, IFTTT allows you to setup “recipes” to help you with repetitive internet tasks. For example, you may want to be emailed your favourite basketball teams score as soon as it’s posted by them on their official Facebook page. Or better yet, maybe you want every recipe that’s posted on a Youtube channel you subscribe to, saved to your Dropbox. IFTTT can do all of this and much more. It has so much potential to help you increase your productivity and is applicable to a wide range of otherwise time consuming everyday tasks.
Last Pass
Sick of wasting time trying to remember your passwords or coming up with new passwords that need to look something like this “#p@55_w0Rd$11” well thankfully there is this neat little app called Last Pass to help you out. Last Pass is like a vault to store all your passwords in one place. But it doesn’t just stop there. Last Pass also helps you generate strong passwords and automatically fills in passwords through the in-app browser or with Chrome.
Do you waste a lot of time reading interesting/silly articles that you probably shouldn’t be? Well put it in your pocket. Pocket is an Android app that allows you to save articles to read later. Best of all, it saves them so you can read them offline at your own leisure.
Whilst there is a lot of note taking software out there such as OneNote & Google Keep, we think Evernote is the best overall. It allows you to easily jot down notes, pictures, audio snippets and even video clips. They are then organised in to notebooks which sync across your devices in to a very user friendly interface and then can easily be shared with other users and also collaborate on notebooks together.
Hopefully one, if not all of these apps will help you get more out of your Android phone or tablet device.
