Things are really going to explode in a big way for my business soon.  I say that because I have been making major progress in many facets.  Last July when I was at the Short Sales Riches seminar in Las Vegas, I learned some cool tips on short selling and birddogging short sale leads.  But, the most valuable tip I learned was from Colin Andrews Egbert when he was informing the crowd about his REI Web 2.0 program.  That tip was that:

“exposure on the web will catapult your business”

Although the ticket to that seminar was included in my REO Rockstar course by Preston Ely, that one tip was worth the price of admission.  And speaking of Preston Ely, I learned from him that you should:

“give 80% before asking for 20%”

Those two nuggets (with honey mustard) of knowledge have already proven worth their weight in gold.  Since I’ve taken heed to those pearls of wisdom, things have started to happen for me.  I won’t go into detail about what I have brewing now, but remember that I said all of this.  And actually I’ll reference this post when I write about how I was able to pull a deal together.

On another front, the deadline for my assistant to complete my yellow letters is 9/19, so I have a while before I’ll have wholesale leads flooding in.  This timing will workout great because right now, I don’t have the $400 for postage anyway.  I’ve got all of my money tied-up and have no cash-flow until I receive payment for two of the video gigs and a freelance website gig.  Still no word on the City of Champaign web bid, by the way.

Before the end of the night, I’m going to shoot for writing-up a few offers and finishing the 1007 Beaver Creek video.  I’ll leave you with my latest contribution to the Bigger Pockets blog.  I put a lot of detail into this one, I came up with the idea just a few days ago when listing the BMW/Beaver Creek client’s property on CraigsList.  Necessity remains the mother of invention.  I can’t lie, this is a pretty good post.  I’m surprised it’s not redundant.  I surely can’t be the first person to write about it this resolution.  But I Google’d all over and didn’t find anything.  So anyway, check it out:
