It's 3:14am as I write this so please forgive the typos and grammatical errors.
I have been working like crazy developing our real estate investing team and the systems we are putting in place to be able to invest anywhere at any time.
If you haven't realized it by now you will eventually figure out that to be successful in this business it takes a strong team. What I mean by Team is a group of individuals who work together to win. At times your team is just merely composed of strategic alliances to reach a common goal.
There are some core team members that you need to develope that will help you build your business faster. Here is a list of your main team players.
1. Mentor
2. Realtor
3. Mortgage Broker
4. Wholesalers
5. Buyers
6. Sellers
7. Internet Marketing Specialist
8. Social Media Expert
If you don't have atleast one of each in your business currently then you need to work on doing so. Sometimes you might be playing two positions on your team. In highschool football I played free safety and wide receiver. You might be the Realtor and consider yourself the Social Media Expert. (Just because you spend 4 hrs a day on facebook and twitter it doesn't make you a Social Media Expert. :)
The main thing is that you realize that having a person out of each section on your team will significantly improve your odds of succeeding as investor.
Don't be a statistic be a Success!!

Working Millionaire Hours
It's 1:44am here at my house and I am up working Millionaire Hours. I honestly feel pretty good. I am currently working on building my business on line, meaning the Internet. The Internet is such an amazing resource. I just wanted to say thank you to Armando Montelongo for teaching us what it means to work Millionaire Hours.
He not only tells us that at times we will be working hard and long hours, but he actually leads by example. When I begin to get a little tired on the nights I am working up late. I simply think about how many hours Armando and his team work over the course of the weekend at one of his Armando Montelongo VIP Bus Tours.
Armando is a unique individual who definitely is passionate about what he does. I think of him when I feel discouraged. I remember his story about where he came from and how he busted his butt at the beginning to get where he is today. I have been working hard on developing our systems for our company so we can work smarter not harder. It truly is all about systems.
I just want to encourage all of you to keep moving forward. This business is not for everyone only for a select few. Decide that you are one of those select few. Decide that you are one of the elite. People dream of being a successful real estate investor. You have the opportunity to become one. Don't let it slip away.
sincerely,

It's All About Networking and Taking Action
Hey guys I decided not to be all technical with my blogs and try to write all proper. This is the reason why I haven't written one in so long. I have now decided to write my blogs just like I am talking to my friends and family.
Most of you that read this blog are friends of mine that I met thru different Real Estate Investment events. If we met at one of Armando Montelongo's VIP Bus Tours than we are like family then. Remember the song and dance, "We are family, all my brother sisters and me, yay...yay!!" I actually have lots of fun when we do that. :)
Guys what I learned at this last Bus Tour was that some of us need to be more transparent and open with eachother. Sometimes this business can become highly competitive and this holds us back from networking with others. This is a PEOPLE BUSINESS and more important a RELATIONSHIP BUSINESS. We all need to get out there and talk more and find ways to help eachother. The way we help eachother is by sharing our stories about our experiences.
Our experiences being what obstacles we are running into, what are our needs (private money, deals, and etc.) This weekend at the Armando Montelongo VIP Bus Tour we began opening up with other investors more with what was going on in our business and what we needed help with. The investors that we were talking to shared their experiences and areas of struggle. In the end we had tools and strategies that ended up solving these issues for eachother. All just from taking the time to network and be transparent with eachother.
I know we all want to be the next Self Made Multi-Millionaire investor and we go about trying to be the LoneWolf of investing. The reality is there is no such thing as a Self Made Millionaire. You become successful in this business by helping others. Just like Zig Zigler says

"You can have everything in life that you want if you just give enough other people what they want."
You see its not about what you know...It's about who knows you and how you can help them. The only way to accomplish this is by getting out there and networking.
Let me share a little story about how I networked and took action. I read the book "The Insider Secrets Of The World's Most Successful Real Estate Investors." by Mark Evans DM. Mark Evans is known for Virtual Real Estate Investing. Basically he invest from his computer and has other virtual assistants doing a lot of the day to day activities.
I read the book and enjoyed it so much that I felt the need to let Mark Evans know. I sent him a friend request via facebook and sent him a message too. It took about a week then he accepted my request and told me to keep him posted on my success as an investor. I recieve daily emails from Mark that he sends out to his email database. He had mentioned in his email that he was in Malibu California so I sent him an email about meeting up and discussing a business opportunity I had. To my surprise he responded and long story short I rented a car and drove almost 2hrs to Malibu to meet Mark.
I had tons of reasons not to meet him and ask him for a rain check but Armando's words kept ringing in my mind "When do Millionaires TAKE ACTION.....NOW!!!" So I did what I had to do to make it happen.
At the meeting Mark Evans DM and I hit it off great. He had so much great advice to offer me concerning how to take my business to the next level and offered me an opportunity to do business with him.
So I want to encourage all of you to get out there and Network and this includes Taking Action. Now Take Action and fill out our survey we have developed so we can see how we can help you become more successful in your business.
