Now that most of the holiday celebration has
wound down, this is a great week to get a jump
start on 2010.

I’m sure many of you will be getting lot’s
of emails about doing your goal setting for
2010 and I’m wondering if you have given any
thought as to why goal setting works.

Can just writing down what you want to achieve
actually make you successful?

Can you just write down, “I’d like to make
an extra $100,000 in 2010!” and it will magically
appear?

Well, not really.

But writing out what you would like does have many
benefits.

The first of those is it requires you to give some
thought as to what you really DO want.

Secondly, once you have planted in your sub-
concious mind what you want to achieve, it
can go to work getting that for you.

But here’s the real advantage goal setting
has for you.

It gets you focused!

It gets you moving in the right direction and
if you review your goals daily as I have suggested
in the past, it will keep you focused.

Do any of you remember earlier this year when I
talked about the “BSO” disease?

BSO….oh not another strain of flu the government
wants us to worry about?

No not really……BSO stands for “Bright Shiny
Object” so BSO disease are those distractions
that come along daily that get us off course.

Let’s say you are three weeks into getting your
Probate Real Estate career started and today
you receive an email telling you about this
“secret” new method that the author’s “best
friend” has been using for years now to make
$100,000 each and every month with REO houses
and for a mere $97 you can purchase this “new”
system.

That, my friend, is a “BSO”……a bright shiny
object that suddenly appears and has all
the potential of getting you off course.

Has that ever happened to you?

I’ll bet it has.

Especially if you have subscribed to anything
online…..you probaly get lot’s of BSO offers
every day and if you don’t watch out you will
soon get the dreaded BSO disease.

That’s why goal setting and reviewing is so
important….it reminds you where you are
heading and keeps you on track.

So for those of you who have started your
Probate Real Estate investing career but
got bogged down in the last six weeks of
2009, I suggest you write down your 2010
goals for your new program and stick to them.
Don’t get sidetracked…….No BSO’s!

I am totally convinced that Probate Real
Estate is the single greatest opportunity
in Real Estate investing for the average person
who has no experience and little or no
money.

Ands it’s even better in today’s
depressed RE market.

So if you got partially started, now’s the
time to get back on track
.
If you are still wondering about the
opportunity, make your decision today and
get going.

Now want a little peak at my goal journal
for 2010?

I started working on this back in October and
the first thought that came to my mind was,

“What would make me consider 2010 a successful
year?”

After asking myself this question for about a
month, here’s what I came up with.

“I would consider 2010 a successful year for me if
I could help more of you become successful!”

Yep, I’m mesuring MY success by my being able
to make YOU a success and here’s how I’m doing it.
I am hereby committed to giving you one new tool
each month to help you with your Probate investing.

Yep, one a month!

That means over the next twelve months, I will
offer you twelve new tools.

Now I can hear you saying, “What does “tool”
mean?”

Good question….here’s some examples.

A live 3 day “Probate Mastery” seminar personally
conducted by me on Jan 29-31, a new
online forum, a membership site, a webinar,
an interview with a successful student, a
semnar on how to sell the house once
you get it, a Sat morning Q & A etc.

In other words, I am going to do everything
possible short of coming to your home and
doing the deal for you, to make you successful
in Probate Real Real estate in 2010.

Some of these tools will be free and some will
require an investment but they all will be
very valuable or I won’t put my name on them.

But here’s the one requirement for you.
I only want folks who are truly committed
to improving their financial well being.

So if you are not serious, you won’t get
an invitation.

Now the best way to make sure that you get
the opportunity to succeed is to study some
of the material I offer. Whether it be the
downloadable pdf,

http://BuyProbateProperty.com

or the “Seminar-in-a-Box” DVD series that shows
me actually doing a Probate transaction,

http://BuyProbateProperty.com/special-dvd

These will tell you very clearly whether Probate
is for you.

Later this week, I’ll be giving you more information
on what’s in the tool box for 2010 so be sure to
watch your inbox for more newsletters.

In the mean time, how about giving some thought to
goals you might want to achieve in 2010?

And stay away from those nasty BSO’s!

Since all of us are pretty busy right now and don’t
have time to read long emails, I’ll make
this short.

Last week I announced that I had created a digital version
of my most popular product, The Seminar-in-a-Box. Previously
this traiining had only been avaliable as CD’s but now
you can also access it online.

The advantage for you is since I am delivering the training
online, my costs go down considerably so I am able to pass
this savings on to you. In addition, I am also offering an additional
“Christmas Discount”….netting $165 in total savings.

If you have any interest in learning more about my offer,
please click on the link below that will take you to my
blog where I have posted last week’s message that contains
all the details.

http://BuyProbateProperty.com/blog

This will be my last message before Christmas Day so for
those of you (and us) who clebrate the birth of the Christ
child, I wish you a merry, merrry Christmas.

May your day of celebration be filled with holliness
and happiness!

It was just 13 months ago that I offered my most original
product ever.

Many of you had asked for more information about the Probate
Real Estate process so I decided to produce a DVD series
actually showing me going through an entire transaction.

So I took our camera crew to the courthouse and actually
filmed The Darling Bride Sharon researching Probate files. We
used our little Flip video camera as the security guards were
pretty freaked out when we asked if we could
take in our shoulder mounted cameras…..not a chance….
as a sidelight….what goes on in a local courthouse that
shouldn’t be public information anyway???

But that’s a no win argument, right?

So we got the file research on video, we showed me
inspecting a home that was in Probate, we showed
me interviewing a Personal Representative of an
estate, we showed how I access property information
on line via my title companies web site, etc. etc.

When all was said and done, and edited, we ended up
with 4 hours of the best Probate Real Estate training
available. The only thing I could do better for you is
if you flew out here to Portland and spent two or
three days by my side while I did a deal……but we’d
have to charge just a couple of bucks more for that
kind of personal mentoring,wouldn’t we?

So I was not surprised when we released the “Seminar-In-
A-Box” DVD series in the Fall of 2008, we were overwhelmed
with requests.

Seems to me we sold almost 200 packages the first week.
That’s a pretty impressive number for a guy who does not
orchestrate these massive launches that I am sure flood your
inbox everyday promoting the latest and greatest…..
and they all start out with “my good friend so and so
is finally revealing his secret….” sound familiar?

No, I just work with my group of folks who follow my
newsletters each week.

So anyway, back to the DVD series.

I started getting emails this past summer that seemed to have
the same message.

“Ron, I really want to get into Probate Real Estate as you
have proven to me its a rock solid strategy and not just
another “hit of the month” but quite frankly it’s just not
in my families budget for me to spend the $300. Anyway
you could give me discount?”

While I’m very understanding of how much many of you
are impacted by today’s economic conditions and your
desire to improve your financial situation, it would
not be fair to have one price for some and another price
for others.

However, I forced myself to sit in a corner until I could
come up with a solution and since I’m now writing to you,
you can bet I have a good one!

We converted the DVD’s to digital videos. Now that’s a
pretty simple sentence but the process to get them online
was not quite that simple……but I’ll spare you the
details.

So what we now have is the exact same content that the DVD’s
contain but now there is no physical product and they can
be viewed online at any time you like.

Kinda like a YouTube video on Probate Real Estate….except
this is a really, really big video……the entire package
takes four hours to view.

“So what’s the benefit to me Ron?”

Well, it means I can dramatically reduce the cost because
I don’t have the same costs to actually produce the products
nor do I have to have the orders full-filled or shipped.

I can pass all these savings on to you.

So in Jan of 2010, I will be offering the video series
to everyone.

But since every year I try to offer some kind of holiday
gift to my subscribers, I’m going to make this available to
you a little early.

I’m given you the first shot today.

So for the next few days, I’m going to offer the four videos
along with a pdf of “31 Days to Profits in Probate Real Estate”
at the new price………aaaaaannnnnnnddddd……for the holidays

I’m gonna knock off another 50 bucks.

That’s my holiday special for you personally.

Now when you order, you need to make sure you write down
the user name and password you will be given as each time
you will need to log-in to view your next lesson.

For those of you who wish to have the entire DVD package,
we still have plenty of them available and that package
does contain numerous “extras” that the online version
does not.

http://BuyProbateProperty.com/special-dvd

The online version is solely to assist those of you
with a tight budget right now.

Happy Holidays!

Oh by the way….If you would prefer to order over the
phone, I have set up a special “Santa’s Helper Hotline”.

Call this number and you’ll get Mrs. Claus!
