Next week it’s on!
I just realized that I seem to always fail to keep my word when I mention posting again the next day or whenever. Yesterday flew-by. I did blog, but yesterday it was to BiggerPockets.com. Contributing posts to that site is so taxing, I’ve only been doing it for three weeks. It feels like it takes me all week to thing of a good post to create. I try to be as unique and original as possible while focusing on a small niche of Real Estate/Technology applications. Uhm…not sure if that just made sense.
Yesterday evening, I met with a young guy who is just getting started in real estate (I say that like I’m some kind of vet). Anyway, he responded to one of my CraigsList ads and I liked the tone of his email. He seems like a very aggressive, ambitious, and out-of-the-box thinking individual. We chopped it up (slang for conversed, lol) for a couple of hours at the library about how we may work together in the future on some things. He has alot of trades that may come in handy for sure. He also gave me an idea about future usage of bandit signs….and I’ll just leave it at that because the feds are watching. I’m telling you this guy thinks outside-the-box.
As of a few hours ago, I submitted two offers. One was for a commerical property, I think I blogged about maybe a month ago and the other was for a residential property I think I also mentioned around the same time. We’ll see how that goes. Also, my offer-machine just got out the shop, it needed a coil, so next week offers will made at a 10 fold increase at the least.
I’ve have got to start ‘making’ more time for my daily workouts. Fitness is a huge priority to me in my life and I’ve have been neglecting it for the past month or so. I’ve been working so hard, the gym has been out of sight, out of mind. And the messed-up part is that my appetite has increased! That’s recipe for disaster, “eat more, burn less”…I’m not trying to qualify to be on “BiggestLoser”, I need to check myself. Just don’t leave me alone with any type of donuts, cake, cookies, ice cream, or gummy bears…and I’ll be fine.
I meet tomorrow with a local Broker who wants to discuss the possibilities of having my team develop his new website. Hopefully, he will like the ideas I have for him and I’ll get the project. It will be the first project for the new IT team I put together. I’ve invested alot already in this client in hopes of getting the job (and I mean monetary investment, you don’t even want to know how much, I’ll let you know after I get the project). He’s also an investor so if I can be a one-stop-shop solution that would be all-to-the-good.
By the way, just thinking about the issue I last blogged about still pisses me the **** off. Some people!
That situation reminds me of a guy on twitter who tweets all of the hilarious things his Dad says, check him out at @shitmydadsays. If my Dad were still here, there would be some serious competition with this tweeter, if I did the same. My Dad was a trip! One of his quotes that he embedded in me at an early age was, “Boy, don’t trust NOBODY but your Mother…and went shit comes up short…you better look at her too”.
Peace out, I’m going to the gym.
