It’s taken me a long time to figure out how to compound my time and energy after being squashed by the Recession. I first read TFM in 2011 and have been referring back to it ever since. The years of 2010-2016 were unusually difficult - I can’t even put a finger on why other than my crappy mindset from being distracted by health and family issues.
Two books that got me out of my funk were You Are A Badass and Ninja Selling (Ninja Selling can be found here in the Fastlane bookstore). From these books, I executed two strategies: one to get my mindset right and the other to get business in the door. Within 60 days, things turned around for me.
When the Recession hit, I didn’t believe real estate would come back. If I hadn’t moved to a new town with greater population and industry, I’d probably still think that way. Real estate brokering is something I really enjoy and find I’m good at it. Many people have increased their quality of life and/or their incomes from the help they found in my work.
I don’t consider real estate brokering itself Fastlane. What I find Fastlane about it is the opportunities that come from accessing a community of smart, wealthy, and happy people. From being persistent and keeping connections flowing between myself and others, plus connecting those who have resources that can help each other, I’ve found myself with a cash flow and in the midst of two real estate developers who need help.
One developer is liquidating his portfolio of 50+ parcels over 400ish acres. The other had a good idea for affordable housing for a handful of people and my work increased this to hundreds of units. Finding opportunities like these to grow my real estate business and create Fastlane opportunities is what I’m mostly journalling here.
Having been around the block, I've become a minor master of swing trading and small business marketing/development. (I really, really want an online cash flow machine! But this is a distraction right now.) I use real estate as a venue for creating cash flow to feed stock trading and small business growth. So far, it's worked in my favor. Cheers to that!
