“Win Your Own Super Bowl!”

Like many of you, our family took time to watch
the Super Bowl this past weekend.

We even took it one step further and had about
15 of our friends over for a party.

We had a little football pool (please don’t
tell the Super Bowl police) with each square
costing $.25, we ate some great food, renewed
some old friendships and in general, just
had a “super” Super Bowl time.

After the game was over and the Saints had won,
I heard the announcers talking about
the winning quarterback, Drew Brees. They
said he had been an NFL quarterback for ten
years, had always been regarded as having talent,
had had near career ending shoulder surgery
a few years back which only gave him a 1 in 1000
chance of ever playing again, much less playing
at the level required to win the Super Bowl…..
so in order to achieve his life long goal of
winning the Super Bowl, he had had to fight through
lot’s of adversity.

Now I don’t know his entire background, but its
pretty safe to say he started playing football
in his freshman year of high school, if not earlier.

That would mean he played four years of high
school ball, four years in college and now
10 years in the NFL before achieving his goal.

That means he worked at least 18 years to
get to where he wanted to be.

As I was listening to the announcers tell
his story, I thought about the perseverance
he showed to make it to the top.

He worked his way through all the naysayers to
get to where he wanted to be, all the time
being a good husband, father and all around
good guy for the City of New Orleans.

From all the stories I have heard, he’s done all
of this without stepping on others, without
being disrespectful and while retaining many of the
old time values that seems to have escaped many
folks today.

His story reminds me of many of the qualities it
takes to be successful in Probate Real Estate.

As a matter of fact, they will help you in almost
anything you attempt.

The first thing he needed was a goal. His was to
win the Super Bowl but yours might be to just
buy one property and make just $10,000.

The second trait he had was persistence. It took
him 18 years but let’s just say your goal is your first
deal and it takes you six months to complete it and you
only do one more for the year and you make the same
money. That would make $20,000 extra for the year.

Would you regard that year as successful?

I sure would!

The third quality he had to have was over coming
obstacles. He was not the first quarterback drafted
in his draft year (he was drafted in the second round),
he was traded by his original team, he had a severe
shoulder injury and probably other setbacks I am not
aware of.

As a Probate investor you will probably encounter
obstacles that you’ll need to over come.

Hold it…….

Who am I kidding?

Let’s change “probably” to “will”….that’s much
more honest.

You will encounter problems…..that’s what we investors do….
we solve other people’s problems.

They’ve inherited a property they don’t want
and we need to find a solution for them to
get rid of it quickly.

That in a nutshell is all we do.

Find solutions for problems.

So what I would like for you to do is give
the Drew Brees story some thought.

Would you work 18 years to be a full time investor?

How about eight years??? Eight months?

Let’s put this a different way, would you work part
time to make an extra $20,000 your first year?

Would you battle through a couple of unknowns to
achieve your goal?

What do you think would happen if I went down to
Haiti and offered to bring back a couple of homeless
victims of the earthquake and showed them the Probate
process and told them it would be necessary to stick with
the program for one year for a reward of around $20,000?

Think I would have any takers?

That’s a stupid question, right?

But I hope it causes you to think…..what
am I willing to do to achieve my goal?

What am I willing to work through?

How badly do I want it?

Now please don’t let me paint too bleak a picture
here. I once did a Probate deal in 13 days, start to
finish.

That was a really easy one.

I also have one of my students who completed 12
deals his first year while working full time.

I also have student who made over $100,000 on his
very first deal.

But some can take a little longer and don’t pay quite
as well.

Hopefully, you can see the brilliance of the
the Probate strategy and you will become…
