Opportunities are like precious moments; they don’t always come back around, and it’s up to us to grab them when they appear. If real estate has caught your attention and you’ve decided it’s your niche, it’s time to commit. The truth is, no one stumbles into success by accident. You have to decide to succeed,
The other day, my daughter hit a major milestone: she passed her driving test. And you know what? I was her driving instructor! Watching her work through the ups and downs of learning, practicing, and mastering the basics, I couldn’t help but see the connection to what it takes to succeed in real estate, especially
Yesterday, I had a conversation with a reader who told me he’d been sending letters for four months straight without a single response except for a few people asking to be taken off his list. He’s been putting money into this effort, ready to close his first probate deal, but seeing nothing come back in
Last week, my youngest daughter, Rebecca, took her driving test. Now, we’d been practicing for this day for a while. It’s just like any big goal in life: you have to prepare and rehearse if you want to succeed. We went out on practice drives, rehearsed every scenario, and went over what could happen, the
I’ve seen a lot of people come and go in the world of real estate investing. Some take action and make things happen, while others get stuck in the endless cycle of learning but never doing. This story isn’t new; I’ve watched it play out over and over again at every seminar I’ve ever hosted
Earlier today, I found myself sitting across from a young father who looked like he hadn’t slept in days. Classic new dad mode. As we got talking, he started stressing about wanting to work harder, make more money, and give his kid everything they could ever want. It instantly took me back to my own
This morning, I found myself back in court, filing an unlawful detainer against a tenant who hadn’t paid rent. Now, I don’t end up in court very often—most of the time, I’ve got a great relationship with my tenants, and we can usually work out a solution that benefits both of us. But every once
Back when I was a kid, things were way different than they are today. No cell phones, no internet, and door to door sales were a real thing back then. I remember one time, a guy came to my house to try to sell my mom a vacuum that he said, “would revolutionize the way
Well, it’s official. We’re going to have an early spring. How do I know this? I’ll tell you my scientific approach to the weather; a rodent in Pennsylvania didn’t see his shadow. Never mind the fact that this groundhog, named Punxsutawney Phil, has only been right 40% of the time since 1887 (that’s one old
As an entrepreneur, I’ve always been a big fan of taking your kids to work. Learning from books will only get them so far. But back when I got started in real estate, bringing my 2 year old daughter, Christina, along with me to pull probate records at the courts or along on appointments wasn’t
Have you ever cold called a personal representative and they came off a bit guarded or even rude? Fraud is an enormous problem nowadays so it makes sense why they might be a bit guarded during your first call. It’s not much of a surprise that the FTC reported consumers losing a total of just
We’ve had an amazing kick off this January. Many of our Probate Fox family members are thriving and they have reported back their level of success. Now, their early success in 2024 is no accident. They took the time in December to meticulously prepare for a successful January. As a result, their current success is
