Let’s Get Started…

Why you should jump on the Web 2.0 Real Estate Wave? It’s mostly FREE  anyway!!

Let me start off by saying, that Web 2.0 is getting bigger & bigger and it cannot be ignored any longer! I’m only going to touch on a piece of Web 2.0 and how it pertains to Real Estate Investing and more importantly why you should care! So, let’s start off with the meaning of Web 2.0, because I’m sure the question is just burning you inside…

What the heck, is Web 2.0, right?

Well, if we look at the wikipedia definition of Web 2.0, then here is why you’ll see:

Web 2.0 is a term describing the trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies.

So far, I must say it’s pretty good. Self Empowerment is something that I take very seriously. Not only does it teach you about how your comfort zone can be your “failure” or danger zone, but it also focuses on what you can do to change that as well as how you can empower others to do the same. (Example: People that work for you in your business)           What this book is expected to do is not only assist you in achieving your dreams and goals, it will help you get rid of complacency in your life and move forward with a sense of purpose and direction. So far, I can see that as I continue to read….Ultimately, it will teach you, “How to break the Entitlement Habit That’s Killing American Business! How To Save Gas???

This month I really wanted to touch on getting out of your comfort zone. You see as we begin to dream and envision ourselves moving forward in the directions that make us happy, we tend to not take the necessary action that is needed to make our dreams a reality. Did you ever set a goal for yourself and it seemed like it just took forever? Did you ever wonder why it was faster for others, but not as fast for you. When I first got started in Real Estate, it took me a whole year before I finally settled down, got focused, climbed outside of my comfort zone and completed my very first deal. At the same time, it probably took someone else 30 days or 2 months, or maybe 6 months tops! You’ve heard the testimonials all over the net. “I did my first deal within 30 days after reading so & so’s real estate course.” I used to hear those testimonials and I’d think….Yeah ok….30 days??… Then why the heck is it taking me so long. Then once I completed my first deal, I realized how simple it was… and I asked myself, was the course full of it or was I. The thing is that I didn’t complete that deal, until I turned it up a notch by getting out of my comfort zone (failure zone) and taking the necessary action that was required. Such as: Getting my Real estate Website to attract seller, investor, and buyer leads Posting Ads on Free Ad Websites Building lists with the leads I was getting Actually contacting those leads and sending out contracts Following up with leads as they came in or as I contacted them Following up with leads to close the deals Building relationships through initial communication, following up,  and by providing value any chance I could (Whether it be to sellers, buyers, tenant buyers, or investors). The key is to listen to their problems and provide a solution! etc, etc, etc.   This Newsletter was definitely not something I felt comfortable doing, but I saw the opportunity for me to be able to communicate and provide value to others and I went for it. I initially tried talking myself out of it and making excuses like… Well what if they don’t like my material, or what if I can find something to write about each month, or what if they think I’m a scammer, blah blah blah…. However, once I got out of my comfort zone and wrote my first newsletter, it was smooth sailing from there. I’m getting awesome comments via email about my newsletter, I’m getting the advice I need to make it better, I’m actually having difficulty deciding on what to write about, not because i dont’ know, but because there is so much to choose from and I want to capture it all. It’s truly amzing what you can do once you get out of your comfort zone. When you start to do things you don’t normally do and start seeing the results you want to see. This is why I focused on Web 2.0. It’s outside the box and just not what a lot of “old school” investors are used to and if you just give it a shot and just get out there and provide value, then you’ll see how much farther you’ll get and the results should come a lot quicker.  Get Out of Your Comfort Zone, because it truly is your failure zone and start taking the necessary action to get the results you want. Don’t be average, be above average. Dont’ blend in with the crowd. Stand apart from everybody else. Be unique and strive for exellence. You can do it! I believe in you…But, that all doesn’t matter… If you don’t belive in yourself. With that said, I wish you the best. I’ll be talking to you next month and if you haven’t done your first deal yet, then grit your teeth, stop making excuses, get out there, ask questions, and make it happen. You can always email me if you have questions as well. Hope you enjoyed this month’s newsletter. To Your Success, J.Lamar Ferren New Breed Real Estate Investor
