    How to Win the Day, Crush Your Goals, and Make 2024 the Best Ever with MJ DeMarco

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Hey @MJ DeMarco I have a suggestion for GoalSumo - measurements I've been doing this on pen and paper but it would be great to just be able to measure progress on the things I'm doing digitally. Example: If we make a daily habit (e.g call 5 prospects), what metric constitutes success for...

    Do you actually need to be number 1? I decided to get a job under someone successful in commercial real estate (finally). Have not secured yet or started, but it is for my own good to get the job. You know what I realized? When I'm trying to be number one, when I'm trying to do things by...

    IMO, speaking as one of your customers (goalsumo) and "superfans" of your writing.. The reason I was attracted to your work and this forum in the first place is BECAUSE it's small. If you had a well-polished instagram with 2.5 million followers like alex hormozi, I probably wouldn't have ever...

    I wish this worked, But it is REALLY hard to get a seller to agree to speak with a realtor, let alone allow us to sell their data. The business wouldn’t generate enough leads as we were personally vetting each lead on the phone to give our realtors the most quality leads possible

    Not exactly, just adding. We have a very strong dataset of hard-to-get data with millions of properties on it (residential), people that have listed in the past but didn't sell their properties (different from expireds) We're able to use it to get referral fees from realtors, JV deals with...

    Yes!! Might as well put it out here to keep myself accountable to the public, I said this in dm to @Antifragile : I want to show myself that I am capable of putting together that commercial deal and actually follow through with it. So my steps from here are to start reaching out to sellers to...

    Thank you for holding me accountable for watching this Andy I know you sent it probably 3/4 times. I watched it, it’s kind of like my brain has been thinking all of this crazy stuff and what you’re saying is the needle in the haystack of my thoughts. “Hey man, just do this.. you’re...

    This is a great analysis of my feelings. Yes. Thank you for being able to catch this. The answer, is that it feels like im not thinking big enough. It makes me feel like just another "wholesale bro" that is just like everyone else trying to do a wholesale deal. And just like I said in the...

    This is deep. It sounds like the answer is deliberately to use willpower to focus on what you really want, something that is productive, until your brain latches on and creates the obsession.

    THIS. I know where that "white room" comes from. Want to know where? A desire to be different. The thought that if you take the traditional path and "do it like everyone else".. Then you cannot go fastlane. If I follow the same system as everyone else, i'll end up making $100k / year like...

    Oh yea. I mean I never put words on it But you should've seen me when I was posting social media videos. Obsession. You could not get me to do anything else. Or when I was selling basketball cards. Obsession. But not in a good way. I'd spend hours cherishing the $40,000 sports card collection...

    Yes, we're getting somewhere here. Let's get deep. @Black_Dragon43 in his post said "It’s 100% fact that you only become an expert and grow in skill by doing. But I think aomeone like Mike already agrees with that. His thinking though is “how can I act when I don’t know how I should act?” This...

    You nailed it. I unfortunately have deep down thoughts (that I like to stay away from and act like I don't have). It might be from past childhood programming: - If the deal is available and another investor hasn't already taken it, then i'd probably end up a sucker by buying something I don't...

    There are some people walking around who you'd have no idea are ultra-successful entrepreneurs. Just a few days ago I was at a gym talking to somebody and later found out he is a billionaire who owns 100% of multiple manhattan skyscrapers. Just looked like a normal guy, working out at the same...
