“Seen any BSO’s Lately?”

One of the things I like to do is watch how people use words in their daily speaking.

Every so often a word becomes in vogue and it seems all of us start to use it and not always in its proper meaning.

An example of that is the word syndrome.

You see the word syndrome refers to the association of several recognizable features, phenomena or characteristics that often occur together, so that the presence of one feature alerts the observer to the presence of the others.

But our culture seems to have recently modified the use of this word to mean a habit or characteristic of a person.

Now why in the world would a guy who teaches about Probate Real Estate be discussing the use of the English language?

Here’s why……….

A while back, I heard someone say “He’s got the BSO syndrome.”

It took me a second or two to figure out what BSO stood for.

I think its one of those things that everyone else knew but me.

Ever have that happen to you?

Well, I finally figured out BSO stands for “Bright Shiny Object”.

What the speaker was referring to was the habit some folks have developed that causes them to go from one idea to another to another to another without ever really successfully completing any one of them.

In other words they are attracted to the Bright Shiny Object of the moment.

In real estate investing this would be the person who reads about someone who has been successful doing REO’s and decides that’s the strategy they want to use. But before even completing their first REO deal, they hear about another person killing it in short sales so they change horses in midstream and now they become the short sale expert.

Next they read about wholesaling and that becomes the next BSO.

Get the picture?

Hipitty hop, hipitty hop, hipitty hop.

Now I am sure this has never happened to any of you but I have to admit it has happened to me.

Yep, I have been guilty of a short attention span/BSO.

That’s why I don’t watch that QVC any more.

They are experts at convincing me that the training machine I bought three months ago is obsolete and now I need to spend another three hundred dollars for the latest one that is absolutely guaranteed to get me back to that 6% body fat Michael Phelp’s shape that I never had in the first place.

What was I thinking?

Now I need to find room to store TWO of those suckers in the garage.

But back to Real Estate investing…………

I’ve noticed the one characteristic of all the folks who are successful with my Probate course.

They stick with it.

They buy the material, study it in a day or two and then they kick into action…….and they keep at it.

They recognize its simplicity and understand they just need to repeat the four steps.

It’s that easy.

Oh…..and they resist the BSO that is guaranteed to occur.

“No I’m not buying the latest Short Sale system that’s reveals the never before told secrets that only the author knows and is guaranteed to put $50,000 in my pocket next month. Oh by the way, that system will cost you only $2000 but if you really want to be successful, you’ll need a personal coach for another $4995. Still got room on your credit card? We’ll do everything for you for just a small additional charge of $10,000.”

Sound familiar?

Now that’s a BSO!

YIKES……..is that really my new credit card balance?

So here’s my advice.

Find a system that makes sense to you and is simple to learn.

Study it, get good at it and stick with it.

Now naturally I’m biased towards my Probate system.

Why? Because it fits all the criteria. It’s simple to learn, it makes sense, people are always looking for help in getting rid of their inherited property and you don’t have much competition.

Seems like a no brainer to me.

But stay away from the BSO channel!

You’ll soon have to be building an addition onto your garage.

Enjoy your week!
