ARE YOU STILL STRUGGLING TO CLOSE YOUR FIRST DEAL? SHARON VORNHOLT
Marketing
is the number one task
you need to get done
no matter what.
starting out. If you still have a 9 to 5 job you will need to set aside definite times to work on your real estate
business. Once you have decided on a few marketing strategies, set up a schedule for getting them done and
just go to work.
I am a very visual person. This is what I do, and it is also what I recommend you do. Get one of those big wall
hanging calendars at one of office supply stores, and plan your marketing for the upcoming month. That way, if
“life gets in the way” one week, you can immediately see where you left off and get back on track. Remember
that consistent baby steps will still get you to your destination; it will just take a little longer.
Last but not least…
Don’t give up! Real estate investing is like most other things, it just takes time and persistence to succeed.
Work on your mindset while you work on your business. Look at those things that inevitably come up as
“challenges” rather than “problems”. You may be called a real estate investor, but what you really are is a
problem solver. Get good at solving problems and you will be successful in this business. Real estate investing
is really pretty simple, but it’s not always easy.
When you are struggling, remember that your first deal is right around the corner!
