Success comes from just a few activities done right every day. What do you think of that? Yeah, but you've got to be like prepared for it. Okay. Tell us more feel like training yourself and um trusting yourself and of course making it possible to achieve those few things daily

so training yourself what would you be training yourself for you need to have to grow talent you need to you know develop it and then the opportunity will come for you to show it and then you will have success 90,000 words are in this book and the revision of this book is 60,000 words which was actually harder for me to get to 60 than it was to get to 90 by the way and that's still in production I'm sharing this with you is because first go around took me 13 months, three hours a day. Second go around took me four months, three hours a day, no days off either time. There are 17 months currently, and it'll probably, I anticipate it'd be another, I say month or two, segment of time. And so on day one was just a bunch of scribble and because i was able to daily take activity at some point i had something i could produce a publish

now if i would have been only focused on the outcome rather than a daily activity do you think i would have been able to write and publish a book? So what's this got to do with real estate sales? The discipline that we need. Discipline. Okay. Discipline.

Discipline. Okay. So discipline equals freedom, by the way. What else does writing a book have to do with, or the analogy of writing a book rather have to do with real estate sales? To refine your goals. Refine your goals. Okay. Results aren't there immediately.

Tell us more about that, Cindy. A lot of times you're making calls and you're following up with people and it might take six months, a year, two years before they're actually ready to do something. Yeah. And the longest I've had is probably on a four year mark, somewhere in that ballpark. But every once in a while, you'll get a hit. I've got one property that took me several years to be able to find. And it was a Dave Ramsey endorsed local provider. I got the buyer and I had a buyer's agent on my team saying, damn, why do we pay these referral fees to these companies? I stuck with that buyer for probably, it was probably like about 18 months for this particular buyer. They bought the property, one transaction.

They referred to me, her sister, two transactions. The sister bought and sold three transactions. The sister bought and sold. Three transactions. The property they wanted to sell. Four transactions. They wanted to buy. Five transactions. The person who bought their property now wants to sell. Potential seven transactions. I've already found the buyer. It's off market. Potential eight transactions. This is eight years later now. And oh, by the way, the original purchaser of them, Kristen and Damon come to me a few years ago every year and except for this year we've given out this year in the year of the pandemic we've given out Christmas trees in exchange for a toy for a tot we're going to pick that back up next year but this year we're going to take a pause on it for different reasons and so we give out Christmas trees to our people they bring in. We've raised thousands of toys for the tots. And Kristen and Damon one day said to me, Dan, thank you for being a part of our tradition. I didn't realize that we're actually a part of people's tradition to come to the Rochon's house

to get Christmas trees. All right. So now I just described to you something that originally happened many, many years ago that I followed up with for 18 months and then communicated with them consistently, provided them value, invited them to my home, gave them gifts, and as a result of that, $80,000 plus of revenue. Did that happen in a second? No. If I would have given up on day one, what would have happened? $80,000 less. Okay. And of those transactions, one of the purchasers and buyers, I've also helped, oh goodness, probably another three or four transactions, the current owner of the property. So I've helped Edouard with three or four transactions. So out of a small, like just a couple people, you're looking at $120,000 of revenue. That's spread over probably 12 years. We'll call that 10 grand a year

from just one small little segment. So success comes one little step at a time. That's my intention of the conversation today. When I share with you, writing a book is one little step at a time. And yes, you know where the destination is going to be. I'm going to publish a book, but you also have to balance that with the patience of I'm going to publish a book or I'm going to have a great deal of success in real estate sales and today I'm only going to focus on one thing which is the activity thanks so much for listening to the no broke months podcast today until the next show I invite for you to be grateful make good good choices, help someone, have the best day of your life, and go find a listing.
