“Crabfishing in America!”

Last week I watched a TV show on the Discovery channel called “Deadliest Catch”.

Have you ever seen that show?

Simply amazing! It shows these fishermen who fish for crab on the Bering Sea in the dead of winter.

These guys are nuts!

I quickly decided that kind of job is not for me. (The Darling Bride Sharon laughingly agreed)

As a matter of fact, here are the top ten reasons I will NEVER be a crab fisherman.

1. I don’t look good in rubber
2. I like quiche
3. My favorite “F” word is food
4. I don’t respond well to yelling
5. No take out
6. The crab smell better than my co-worker
7. My cigarette bill would be bigger than my paycheck
8. I like afternoon naps
9. No seat belts
10. The pay’s not that good

But there’s one thing that did impress me about these guys.

They are COMMITTED!

I mean REALLY committed.

They are focused, focused, focused!

Remember the old joke about the chicken and the pig’s role in the bacon and egg breakfast; the chicken participates but the pig is committed!

Can you imagine how well anyone of these guys would do if they applied this same effort to real estate investing?

More specifically Probate real estate investing.

Just think if they were willing to work 30 straight hours several times a month how much work could they get done.

Heck they could do 3, 4, 5 deals each and every month.

They’d be putting $50,000 to $100,000 in their pocket every 30 days…..and sleeping in their own comfy, warm little beds.

Now I know these guys think the $10,000 to $35,000 they make for each fishing trip is a lot of money but look at what they risk to get it………and the season is really, really short, 4-7 days so they only get to do it once per year.

You can work Probate real estate 12 months per year….every year.

So I know the TV show makes this work look very exciting and it is.

But what would happen if you decided on a less dramatic job.

Let’s say you wanted to become successful at anything other than being a crab fisherman…..and you decided you were willing to put in their same effort.

WOW!

Now I know my argument here has some holes in it (like how about a little balance in your life) but I think you get my point.

Give some thought this.

Have you ever gone “all in” to changing your financial well being?

Have you ever fully committed to making your Real Estate investing career work no matter what?

Have you ever “burned the life boats” so success was your only option?

Fantasize of what you and your family would “BE, DO, HAVE” if you became the “crab fisherman” of your own life.

Something to ponder on this bright shiny second day of summer.

Can you imagine biting off and eating a raw fish head?

Not me! I always like my fish heads medium rare!
