P.S. When you attend the webinar today I’ll be showing you and giving you the EXACT Systems Process Maps I’ve been using and updating in my business since late 2004 that has allowed me to close over 600+ real estate transactions….BUT you must attend to get the back door link to the “SYSTEMS PROCESS MAPS”.

*System #1: How to get started without knowing anyone or anything

*System #2: The Personal Financial System

*System #3: Agent Referral Magnet System

*System #4: Center Of Influence Systems – I received 3 leads already this week with this one.

*System #5: Guerilla Marketing Systems

*System#6: Contracts for Cash Systems

*System#7: Real Estate Banking System – I hired someone on Monday just to manage this one for me.

*System#8: REO Renovation Systems

*System#9: Short Sale Negotiation Systems

*System #10: Forced Appreciation Systems

*System#11: Property Staging Systems

System #12: Buyer’s List Building (B.L.B.) Systems – this is a set it and forget it system. One of my favorites.

Meet Our SREC Student of the Month, Peter Gorski

Friday, July 29th, 2011 | Real Estate Investing, Uncategorized | No Comments

We’re proud to spotlight SREC Coaching Student of the Month, Peter Gorski. Peter joined our coaching program about two months ago, and has already been realizing some tremendous results! Peter attended our 2-day SummerFest high-end student mastermind event last week, and had a tremendous experience. As a gift for being chosen Student of the Month, Peter was invited to stay for two additional days of mastermind with the Maverick/Master’s Elite/Board of Advisors students.

Here’s what Peter had to say about his experience:

“I first wanted to say that I had one hell of a time at SummerFest. It was like no other event that I have been to before.  It blew them all away. I was super excited to meet the SREC students, as well as your team, and I had no clue what to expect on Thursday going into the event.  Everyone was so very nice to me and to the others, and that is very important to me because it makes me feel welcomed and part of your team vs. others. I’m no one to them but just a name on a list.

You put on one hell of an event and I’m looking forward to the next one. I have to make it to the top and
now, due to SREC, there is nothing holding me back.”

I want to share the story of Peter’s journey before SREC and since joining SREC with you, in his own words:

17 Traits of Successful Real Estate Investors

Friday, June 3rd, 2011 | Real Estate Investing, Real estate short sales, Short Sales | 1 Comment

If you’re reading this, then you’re either in real estate investing, or you’re contemplating jumping in.  Most do so because of one thing: Money. They’re tired of working in jobs that leave them fretting about the bills to be paid at the end of the month.  They want time to build something meaningful, to make a difference for their family, and to create something that is theirs. In real estate, there is a lot of money to be made.

Think about the last time you really accomplished something big . . . what was it?  Why were you successful?  When’s the last time you nailed something that you made happen through hard work? That’s what this article is about.  Why do some people find success, no matter how many times they crash and burn and why do others fade away? Everyone wants success, but few find it.

We’ve narrowed what defines success from failure to several major points.  Again, this is timeless information –– it’s about the essential elements that those individuals who have been consistent achievers do to accomplish their goals.

1. Don’t Run on Random – If you want to find success in business, dedicate yourself by incorporating these five steps into each day.

  • Focus on your objective and create a plan
  • Commitment to completing the objective 100%
  • Execute the plan to complete the objective
  • Monitor & Adjust
  • Create a Standard Operating Procedure so it can be repeated

Create a plan, but it’s not enough to think about it, you have to put it into motion. Along the way, step out for a couple of hours each week to monitor and adjust those aspects of your plan that need improvement. Don’t constantly be reinventing procedures; figure out what works, create a system and update when needed.

2. Learn from the Best – At SREC, we offer different levels of real estate investing coaching. The top level is reserved for the best, most successful investors. They all have the traits on this list in common, so take it to heart.

3. Take Personal Responsibility – Take personal responsibility when something unexpected arises. It’s never the other person’s fault. There is always something you can do to prepare for and prevent whatever circumstances are coming. Always feel like you’re in control. With this attitude, you will never lack the ability to handle a difficult issue, no matter how unexpected.

4. Don’t Expect Failure, But Still Plan for It – Have a backup plan, after backup plan, after backup plan. Always anticipate something going wrong at each step of the process, and put a plan in place to handle it. Work smart – don’t waste time on tasks that are not revenue producing

5. Focus on Revenue Producing Activities – The only thing that generates revenue is focused action on tasks that make money.  Always write down your revenue goal. Each of our top producing coaching clients understands how much they need to make each week to hit their monthly number.

6. Write Down Your Revenue Goal – When you write something done, it seems to have sticking power. It’s a daily reminder that works to keep us accountable.

7. Be Frugal – Avoid spending money if it can be avoided. This is especially important when your business is young. Not only do you need to create revenue, you need to be profitable. If your expenses eat up all your revenue, then that’s not a successful venture for business.

8. Strong Work Ethic – People who are looking to be successful put the time in, make the sacrifices and build upon their successes.

9. Dreamers vs. Doers – You can have a dream, but if you’re a “doer” then that dream is really a goal –– not a fantasy. You know if you’re a dreamer if you’ve had many ideas, but none have ever been realized.

10. The Big Idea – Armchair warriors don’t go far.  It’s never about the BIG idea or the great idea.  It’s about execution. No matter how big your idea is, if you don’t know how to make it happen, how to bring it to life, it’s worthless.

11. Take Personal Responsibility – Take personal responsibility when you fail. With this mindset, you seldom will actually fail. Conduct yourself with confidence and do your due diligence even when you hadn’t closed your first transaction.

12. Have to Succeed – The mindset that we’ve seen our most successful clients maintain, despite whatever challenges they faced, was that they had to succeed.  They always find ways to overcome obstacles, and you need to do this, too.

13. Enjoy Facing Challenges: Don’t Run Away – Successful investors like facing challenges; they don’t back down from any sort of challenge, no matter how imposing.

14. Define Success – Understand how to deal with failure, and they value this as part of the process. No one is successful all the time; failure is a natural part of achieving success. Our top performers make an effort to learn from every mistake, and they use this new knowledge to improve their business.

15. Boundless Curiosity – Always want to be “in the know.”  Always be in a position of learning. Avoid coming across as a know-it-all expert.

16. Never Stop Growing – The minute you think you’re an expert on something and your ego comes out, you’re at the tail end of your experience. Why? You stop seeing, stop listening, and stop learning; therefore, you stop growing. You need to be able to see new opportunities so that you can react immediately.

17. Be Humble – Successful people don’t have to boast. They let their knowledge and action speak more loudly than any words.  They know that they may not have all the answers, but it’s their secret.

Locus of Control

Friday, September 3rd, 2010 | Real Estate Investing | No Comments

Successful people have something called “locus of control,” that describes where and how people feel grounded. Locus of control refers to an individual’s generalized expectations concerning where control over subsequent events resides. In other words, who or what is responsible for what happens? An individual, whose locus of control is external, sees the world through the eyes of someone reacting to circumstances that life imposes upon that person. They don’t believe that they have much control over the outcome of their life. Conversely, an individual with an internal locus of control experiences the world as someone who has choices, no matter what life gives them. Can you guess which group all of our successful coaching clients come from? That’s right, they all have a strong internal locus of control. They understand that life is theirs to create and live. They have a choice. They want to take control of the outcome and live on their own terms.

Tomorrow you have an opportunity to be a part of real estate investing history…
 
OK, here’s the deal.  Next month (late September) we’re going to start selling our home study course called the “Short Sale Success Blueprint.”  It’s loaded with 5 books, over 9 DVD’s and Cd’s and multiple mindmaps outlining a true “systems” business. 

It’s similiar to a mini-franchise in a box. 

The price is going to be a little less than a thousand bucks, probably $995.
 
We’ve also started a NEW coaching program called the “Short Sale Success University.”  It’s $10,000 per year. 

It’s packed with Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced short sale techniques and delivered to you 4 different ways (watch the video tomorrow). 

ITS MEGA POWERFUL!!!!
 
For an EXTREMELY limited time, starting tomorrow at NOON EST, we’re doing something so crazy and out there… and directly for your benefit.
 
We’re giving away the $995 course (Short Sale Success Blueprint) for FR:EE and giving you the Coaching Program (Short Sale Success University) for next to nothing.
 
We’re doing it for one reason and one reason ONLY. 

Our coaching students, almost every single one of them, are experiencing tremendous success since they’ve been working with us. 

Their lives have changed totally. 

Their finances have never been better.  Their businesses are running like well-olied machines (even in this supposedly crappy market). 

They are making more money and have more time to do the important things, like travel the world, than ever before.
 
We think your BEST chance of success is by participating in a similiar program, so there you go… That’s the reason. 

It’s all designed for you to achieve the success you want. 

This isn’t about us.

Trust me, you’ll know after a month in the program if it’s right for you.  If it’s not just let us know, but if it is – then watch out because your life is about to change in a BIG way.

Always trying to be better…

Thursday, August 21st, 2008 | Real Estate Investing | No Comments

By: Josh Cantwell

Right now I’m at The Winner’s Circle in Tampa, FL hanging out at a huge mansion with people like Roger Salam, Bill Duquette, J.T. Foxx, Dustin Mathews, and A.J. Puedan at our Mastermind group event. 

This mastermind group is awesome, some of the greatest minds in real estate are in it.  We all get together to bounce ideas off each other, and talk about what’s working and what’s not working.

Not to mention, we get to enjoy the sun and sand in Florida!

This is where I’m able to sharpen my skills to be a better investor and teacher.

You can never stop learning.  I’ve learned that we all need coaching, no matter where we are in life and what level we’re at.  Even coaches need coaches. 

If you haven’t had a chance yet to check out my newest video, take a minute to check it out here…

BRAND NEW MONEY MAKING VIDEO HERE

There will be more cool stuff coming next week, including the Short Sale Manifesto 2.0, so be ready.

Enjoy the pictures!

TAMPA, CLEVELAND, 125 Guru’s, 70 coaching students and 25 roller coasters

Monday, August 11th, 2008 | Real Estate Investing, Short Sales | 1 Comment

By: Josh Cantwell 

Yep you read that right, and my back is killing me!  You see, I have been on my feet for the past week and a half straight and my dogs (feet) are barking (hurting bad) plus I just dropped 4 Advils to cure my ailing lower back.  It’s bad.  Seriously bad.  Oh well.  Small price to pay because these past 10 days, I have been seriously taking care of business.

A week and a half ago I spent Wednesday and Thursday networking and making new relationships at The Winners Circle Summit in Tampa, Florida.  My good friend Roger Salam has put together one of the greatest networking groups on the PLANET.  Far and away the BEST in THIS country.

I was hanging out with dudes like Gary Boomershine from Sales Team Live, Tim Mai, Colin Egbert from Realestateinvestor.com, Richard Roop, Preston Ely from Probates by Preston, Dustin Matthews, Kathy Kennibrook, Paul Bauer, AJ Peudan, Jason Rodriquez, Bill Duquette, Jon Goldman from Lumpy Mail, and STEVEN frickin PIERCE – internet marketer extraordinaire – as well as a 115 other great real estate trainers and marketers.
 

We got together for one reason – to raise the bar for the benefit of our students and customers.  I know I accomplished my goal.  I got some crazy good ideas to bring back to my students…..and that’s exactly what I did.

So I jumped on a plane and flew home to Cleveland to my beautiful wife and new baby girl.

Here’s the thing.  I had to get right back up the next day and teach our highest level coaching students for 4 days.  The first two days were with our Diamond and Platinum groups and then we did 2 days with our Master’s Elite group.
 

Seriously, this Masters Elite group is crazy good.  These guys are closing between 3-6 short sales a month, many averaging $20k per deal. Some have made $100k per month, each month so far this year.  This is what it’s all about.

One of my students closed a short sale quick turn and made $130k this past Friday.  Then just Monday another student closed a short sale and made $80k while she was in Cleveland!
Once the event was over we closed the office and took our staff and some of our students who stayed over to CEDAR POINT.  What a blast!

So here’s my question.  Do you have a recent case study or deal closed to tell us about?  If you do, post it on the BLOG for all to see so we can congratulate you.

Check out these pictures.
