Everyone Must Have a Mentor
Allow me to cut straight to the chase on this one because this is a topic of conversation that is NOT discussed enough. I am a firm believer that you get to where you want to go 10x to 100x faster if you have a mentor/adviser/coach, etc within your circle of influence. Everyone should have someone that they can lean on and learn from to help them grow their business, their marketing, their self-esteem, their habits, etc. 99% of all the wealthiest people in the world have mentors, advisers, coaches (usually multiple mentors for that matter) that are in their circle of influence to make them better. AND, did you know that even the mentors have mentors.
These types of people are ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS trying to make themselves and their business better. This top 5-10% of the population doesn’t ask how much it costs to acquire this new mentor, coach, adviser, information, etc, they ask how much it will make them. (If you zoned out on that last sentence….READ IT AGAIN)!
So what does this have to do with you? Well, let me start by asking you, do you have anyone in your circle of influence that you consider a mentor, coach, adviser, confidant, etc? If not, how come? If yes, how come not more?
Think about it, if one new mentor could help give you the guidance, self esteem, how-to information, marketing materials, mistakes to avoid, etc to make you and your real estate investing business better, wouldn’t this be valuable to you? Of course! Knowledge, helps you create income and wealth. Someone could always steal your wallet, but they can’t steal what you know!
I know what you are saying though, all this talk about getting a mentor, coach, adviser, etc will cost me money. Well here’s my response to that, which I learned from one of my mentors… “The cost of education is cheap, compared to the price of ignorance.”
If my desire was to learn more about computers and software, etc I would do everything in my power to go to the person that has been there before, who has walked the walk and has experience in what I am interested in learning to teach me the ways, to mentor me. I would, in this case see if Bill Gates or Michael Dell, or someone within their linear sphere of influence would consider being a mentor to me. Would they do it for free?…doubtful, but perhaps they have a mentoring program, and if they didn’t I would again try to find someone with this knowledge who did.
Ok, (forget computers) back to making money in real estate investing which I’m good at. As I look back to my early days in this business, it took time, dedication, passion, effort, faith and without a doubt, the guidance of Mentors & Advisers within my circle of influence to help me know what I know, and get to where I am today. Quite simply, it is this knowledge and relationships and affiliations that have changed my life forever, and that is the God’s Honest Truth!
If you like the information that I provide to you, then it is ESSENTIAL that you take the next step! To test drive me, and everything I’m about as a mentor, coach, adviser to real estate investors all over the country, make sure you TAKE ACTION and get, “The Most Incredible Free Real Estate Money Making Gift on the Planet, Guaranteed” a $1,620.94 Value which, again, is yours Absolutely Free, no strings attached. If you say yes (which you should or your crazy), you will receive a package of Money Making Goodies that I will deliver to you like delivering a pizza to your door. The total value of this gift will blow your mind!
I won’t reveal exactly what this Free Gift is until October 1st but if you want to get a sneak peak, AND get an Early Bird Gift go to: http://www.FreeMakeMoneyGift.com

Real Estate News – FHA Chief Risk Officer
Real Estate News Overview:
The Federal Housing Administration announced Friday that it is appointing a chief risk officer and making changes in its credit policies to make sure its reserves against future losses stay above a minimum set by Congress.
The FHA now insures about 5.3 million mortgages, up from about 4 million three years ago.
As of this summer, about 17% of FHA borrowers were at least one payment behind or in foreclosure, compared with 13% for all loans, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Rising defaults mean the FHA’s reserves may sink below the 2% mark required by federal law. The FHA says a study being sent to Congress in November is expected to show that ratio dipping below required levels for the first time.
The FHA acknowledged that a study that will go to Congress in November is expected to show the FHA’s capital reserve ratio falling under a congressionally mandated 2%.
It said the changes it is making would strengthen those reserves.
Real Estate Investor Coach Response:
I believe this is a good move introduced by FHA to appoint a chief risk officer to help minimize potentially shady mortgage operations that can go on to effect the entire market. There needs to be better regulation, but at the same time flexibility so that lenders can lend and borrowers can borrow! Easier said than done…

Do Your Best and Let God Do The Rest, Tip From Brian
My wife, Danielle and I were watching TV the other night and we came across a show called “LA Ink.” In case you’re not familiar with this show it is a reality tattoo show based in Los Angeles, CA and is filled with your regular reality TV drama, but I must say it was kind of interesting to watch. And, some of the tattoo’s that these artists were drawing were pretty amazing looking.
So what does this have to do with the title of today’s lesson?….
I don’t have any tattoo’s personally, and I’ve never really had any desire to get one, however, while we were watching this show I told my wife that if I ever did get a tattoo it would have to be one that really meant something to me and connected with me on a deep level. Then after thinking about it a little longer of what I might “consider” getting if I “ever” got one… I decided on a saying that I came up with years ago that I repeat to my-self many times during a given day or week. That saying is… “Do Your Best and Let God Do The Rest.”
It’s important for you to know and I’m extremely proud to say that I am an immersed believer and devout Christian. And this little saying is one that I like to personally live my life by because I always want to stay focused and grounded in my faith.
This little saying is extremely powerful and reassuring to me. When I say it to myself it gives me confidence and strength during times when I feel stressed and weak. You see, we all go through challenging times on a regular basis. It doesn’t matter if you are black, white, red, yellow. It doesn’t matter if you have $100 in you bank account or $1,000,000. We all put our pants on one leg at a time, we all need to wear deodorant in order to keep the B/O in check, we all enjoy a good dinner and a movie, we all go to bed at night and wake up to the same sun the next day. We are all 99.99% physically the same.
What keeps me going personally in business and life, during times when 99.99% of others would “give up” is my faith. You see, I believe that as long as I do my best and everything in my power to do my best, and be positive, and a good person, and work hard to grow my business financially… I believe unquestionably, that if I do my best God will do the rest!
So, as I come full circle with this lesson today, I don’t plan to get a tattoo any time soon, but if I did get one, you now know what it would be. Instead, I’ll stick to keeping my little saying on a post-it-note next to my desk where I can see it everyday.
If you feel that my message, “Do your best and let God do the rest” could be beneficial in helping you to get through the challenges of your business and life then please feel free to take it and make it your own.
I know that today’s business tip lesson has a slightly different angle but I hope that you found it inspiring and beneficial. If so, please let me and others know by posting your comments below.

Foreclosure Rankings
Real Estate News Overview:
Take a look at the chart below and see how the Foreclosures stack up in your state:
Real Estate Investor Coach Response:
It’s obvious that Foreclosures aren’t going away any time soon and in my opinion I think that the housing market has yet to hit bottom. Don’t take me as a pessimist, but rather a realist. There is still a lot of funky financial stuff going on out there with unemployment high and consumer confidence low. But don’t let these statistics depress you, rather they should excite you, because if you know how to make money in foreclosures you can really rack up some serious cash and equity.
Go make some money investing in real estate!

Do You Consider Yourself Savvy?
Over the Labor Day Holiday weekend, my wife and I got together with some relatives on my side of the family that we haven’t seen in years. During the visit I got to talking with my Grandfather (my Dad’s father). His name is Milton and he is 77 years old, and literally he is a certified genius. Anyway, we got to talking about politics and real estate and the economy and small businesses and entrepreneurship, etc and it was a very enjoyable conversation. It is almost refreshing in a way to listen to someone speak their mind when they have such knowledge about life and history and everyday facts.
During this conversation Milton mentioned a word and then described it to me. The word was “Savvy” and he then described it as, “to have a clear understanding of something, and a knowledge and a confident level of common sense.” He was clearly very intent on getting his point across to me about the importance of having savvy in life and business. After concluding the conversation with my Grandfather, shortly thereafter I continued to think about the true power and relevance of the word “savvy” and I knew that it was going to be my topic of conversation for this Business Tip Article.
If you look up the word Savvy in the dictionary it pretty much gives you the exact definition that my grandfather gives - to have an understanding and a mental grasp, as well as common sense of what it is that you do. So as I relate this article to real estate investing I want to ask you, do you consider yourself a savvy real estate investor/entrepreneur? If someone asked me that I would confidently be able to say, YES. I wouldn’t have always been able to say this but, as my experiences in real estate and business grew and continues to grow my “savvy” has grown with it.
So what’s the point of all this “savvy” talk? The point is, “savvy” is a vital and essential ingredient in your recipe to achieve success as a real estate investor. Without “savvy” you will always be just mediocre at best. The good news, is that “savvy” can be acquired and built upon. The more you know, the more experiences you have, the more you get out and do things that others aren’t willing to do, the more savvy you will become as a real estate investor. Anyone in the world, past or present, who has made a name for themselves in business, exemplified a high level of “savvy.” They have a strong understanding of their business and a mental grasp about what needs to be done to achieve success.
So I ask you again, do you consider yourself savvy?

Be A Fighter Pilot (Top Secret)
There are many factors that go into becoming a massively successful real estate investor, and there is one profession in particular that I believe offers an appropriate comparison to the overall skills you need to have in this business, albeit on a slightly different playing field. This comparable profession is a Fighter Pilot. Think about it, Fighter Pilots are the absolute best at what they do. They must go through rigorous tests and training before they “get their wings” so to speak. Not everyone who sets out to become a Fighter Pilot reaches their goal, and that’s because it takes a certain individual to overcome the challenges, and develop the skills required before the government hands over the keys to a multi-million dollar aircraft.
Here is a brief list of some of the skills I think can be shared between a Fighter Pilot and a Real Estate Investor:
- Desire to be the best at what they do
- Willingness to work hard under all circumstances
- Ability to handle pressure very well
- Ability to think and make decisions very quickly
- A love for speed and results
- Having a very strong understanding of the business/aircraft that they are operating.
- Commitment to their business/country
- Always striving to make their skills better
- Have trust in their mentor/wingman
- Display a very high level of confidence in themselves
Obviously this is not all of the comparisons that could be made between a Fighter Pilot and a Real Estate Investor. In fact there are probably hundreds of comparisons that could be made. It is fun though, isn’t it? If you can think of any more then be sure to post your comments in this blog.
Here is one more thing to consider when you compare yourself as a real estate investor to that of a Fighter Pilot. Your workspace (your desk/office/etc) should be very structured and organized, similar to that of the Fighter Pilot’s cockpit that they fly in. What I mean by that is this: When you are working at your desk, in order to be most efficient, and effective without loss of momentum and concentration you need to have everything near you so that you can work quickly. You should know where everything is that helps you work effectively and it should all be within short reach of your chair. When you are in your cockpit you should become focused on accomplishing your goals and tasks for the day. Prioritize your mission for each day and work down the list from most important to least important. You should always be focusing the most effort on the deal that is closest to cash and getting you paid. Always keep this and other deals similar to this on your radar screen.
I hope that you enjoyed the imagination with this article, if so, please be sure to post your comments below and let me know.
