Big Brother’s Back in a Big way!

May 21, 2013

I’m talking about one of my actual Big Brothers! Thou he fed me grass and an assortment of other torments when we were growing up, he really is a Great Guy. Well he’s back in the Real Estate Game, but this time as a Real Estate Agent as opposed to an Investor like myself. I just wanted to let my little world know that if they’re looking for a new Home or interested in selling theirs he’s the Man you want in your corner.

Feel free to contact him at your earliest convenience Ted “Coach” Mack II!

Have a Terrific Tuesday!

Sometimes “Anger” is good!

March 27, 2013

I have a friend that was tired of living her life being broke and struggling to feed her family along with her car breaking down on the regular! She called me one day and was mad as (you know what) and said she was going to do everything in her power to change the situation and stop waiting for someone else to make it happen, she took full responsibility of her life and her business. The last time I spoke to her she sounded like a totally different person and told me about the action steps she had taken to get to her goal!

Sometimes Anger is good if it motivates us to take the necessary Actions to reach our desired Destination, I’ve often read that Mr Jordan often found something to get mad about before a game. I got Angry about a property that I got outbidded on about a week ago, but I took a moment to think about what I could do and that was locate another property which I got under contract a few days later.

Don’t hang on to the Anger, immediately look for positive action steps you can take to move you closer to your destination in life!

An Amazing Device: “The Phone”

July 10, 2012

Last week I was sitting down with a Gentleman in a hotel lounge and he freely gave me some of his business wisdom that allowed him to build a company and sell it so he could retire or basically do whatever he wants. He is not a young buck by any means and I was honored to hear how he built an empire by building relationships with “People”. I shared with him how I have great Success by talking to People on the phone and he said that every business person should have that skill. Some of you may be saying that “It’s easy for you,  I have trouble remembering my name when I’m on the phone”, well I got news for you when I started I was scared to. When I got into Real Estate Wholesaling many moons ago I took everything personally that someone said to me, but I kept going and an amazing thing happened (Started to make Cash Money).

Just remember when you’re on the phone you’re looking to help the other person, don’t focus on what’s in it for you because people can sense when you’re in their corner. So, pick up that phone are start asking “People” how you can help them!

What is your Independence Day?

July 3, 2012

As we prepare for Independence Day I’m reminded of a choice I made back in 1997 to leave my J.O.B. working for a company that rhymes with “Stinkos”. I purposely aligned my exit with Independence Day because I wanted to remind myself every year that I had the courage to step out into the unknown and achieve my Freedom. Most of the years have been superb with a few challenging ones thrown in, but I would not change a thing because it has been a fabulous journey that continues to this day.

So I ask you what and when is your Independence Day, when are you going to be free from:

  • A Bad relationship
  • Dead End Job
  • Bad Attitude
  • Low Self Esteem
  • Judging Others
  • Inferior Health
  • Hatred
  • Anger
  • Your Comfort Zone

As the Acquistionist I specialize in helping others acquire what they desire and I have discovered that we often have all we desire within reach if we just take a moment to free ourselves from our own self imposed limitations as those I’ve mentioned above. We have all had Independence Days in our lives, please take a moment to reflect on those victories and bask in the feelings of gratitude.

Have a Happy Independence Day!

KARMA (the good & the car)

June 29, 2012

A couple of days ago I was walking from the Barnes & Noble and something told me to stop and take a seat outside in the shade which was fine with me because it was pretty hot that day. I take a seat and glance at the cars parked in front of me and there she is, the car of me dreams The KARMA by Fisker.

The KARMA

Well, I wait to see who is going to come out and drive off in this exquisite dream and I must say I was a little surprised because the gentleman was a wee bit younger than myself. Of course I had a few questions as several other men did as well, but this is where things got quite interesting because before we parted ways we had a meeting set for the following day. Yesterday we met and I now have him as a client!

This is a quick post to remind us all that there is “Good Karma” out there if we just take the time to listen to that inner voice. I’m really excited about what’s happening in the world because I’m seeing men and women with dreams and passion move those dreams into reality. So I say to all who read this “may God grant you the desires of your heart and remember to do your part”.

Have a Fabulous Friday!

Things & Happiness

June 24, 2012

Now it may look like I’m shooting myself in the foot with this post, because I help people acquire “things” that they desire and there has been a lot of discussion about the less one has the happier one is. I’m a pretty happy guy and I have very few possessions as my focus has been on freedom and enjoying life’s experiences rather than accumulating stuff. An amazing statement coming from the “Acquisitionist” for sure!

The question is can acquiring “things” bring one happiness?

It really depends on what that “thing” is! Take for example the Business Owner who has come up with a new technology to turn trash into energy and the “thing” he desires is funding to make his dream a reality because it’s not just about him it’s about making the world a better place which will touch more peoples lives and as a result bring him more happiness. For the past several months my tag line has been “Connecting People to Positive Projects” and this brings me joy because I feel I’m helping people connect to something that can actually make a difference in the world.

I know this may cost me a few clients, but for some strange reason I have to feel like I’m making a difference in everything I do including business as it’s my way of flowing in integrity. So, I’d like to sum up the idea of things and happiness in this short statement:

Does what you Desire to Acquire bring Happiness to Others?

This is a Great Video on Happiness!

Thank you for your valued time!
