The numbers from the video say this woman put 25% down on her home purchase and into a subprime loan.  Did she get boned?  Should she stay?  Should the bank be held responsible?  Leave your thoughts

I close all of my seminars with a few things every Real Estate Entrepreneur should do.

1- Spend 5 hours a week in your real estate business.

2- Spend 1 hour a week thinking of different ways to grow your business.  (E-Myth)

3- Spend 1 hour a week filling your head with good, positive uplifting material.

One of the best books that you can read is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.  If you haven’t read it, I think you should and if you have read it, I think you should read it again.

I have an electronic copy of the book for you.  Click Here to Get Your Book.

I have no motive other than asking you to make a comment below.  I just want your 2009 to be your best income year ever.

Having a good real estate investing plan is critical to your success.  There is a lot of fear in 2009 and it doesn’t have to be that way.

For those of you who could not be on the call, I have uploaded the audo so you can listen in.  The purpose of this call was to develope a plan for investing in real estate in 2009.  It doesn’t matter if your a flipper, wholesaler, landlord or if you sitting on the sideline waiting for something to happen. This is good content that discusses risks as they pertain to what I call “little deals” vs “big deals  You can download the handout here.

My brother in law sent me this song from the NCAA Football National Champions.  I don’t know who did this or I would give them credit.  Take a 1 minute break from your REO buying and listen.

If you have ever been to one of my seminars you know that I come right out of the gate with people are a commodity that we can invite on our wealth journey.  I also tell my attendees to start dividing their current database into three categories;

1- People with Money

2- People with Credit

3- People with Both

I also tell you that you should touch your database and always stay in touch.  I have found a perfect way to stay in touch with my database.

My Friend Mike Filsaime did such a great job explaining this service, so I asked him if I could forward this on.  He said yes.

If you are like many. You are wondering what the heck is TWITTER

If you are like SOME, you have already realized that Twitter has become one of the most revolutionary communication tools on the planet.

Heck, even the new President of the USA, Barack Obama, uses Twitter. In fact, he has more followers that ANYONE in the world.

Why is Twitter one of the most revolutionary communications tools?

Well, imagine if you combined the following:

- Blogging (Twitter is actually Micro Blogging)
- SMS text messaging
- Instant Messaging
- Chat Rooms
- Communities Forums and Social Networks
- Personal Email
- Email Broadcasting
- Search
- Viral Marketing

What would you have?

You would have the most addicting, most powerful, and most incredible communication tool ever made.

TWITTER can be used as a marketing tool, but beware. It is a relationship building tool and the marketing is a NATURAL byproduct  of the relationship you make with people as you build self and brand awareness.

It works with your Laptop or PC or MAC. It  works on your iPhone or cell phone.

There are dozens of “Apps” and websites popping up that support it for sending not just quick updates, but pictures and even maps of where you are right now.

I would LOVE to tell you all the cool “Apps” there is for Twitter, but for now I just want to talk to you about twitter and maybe a few “APPS” you should use.

First off let me get this point out.

YOU WILL NOT UNDERSTAND what the heck TWITTER is until you

1 - Join
2 - Follow 10 people you like (you can search for people)
3 - Make your first “Tweet”

I also HIGHLY recommend you install “Twhirl” (Google it)

Twhirl allows you to use Twitter more effectively, sort of like a an Instant Messenger Client like Yahoo Instant Messenger or AIM etc…

So what Tweets are good?

Anything really.

- What you are reading now.
- Ask a question
- Take a poll
- What you thought of a TV show you just watched
- When your new website is going to launch
- Ask what is a good name for your new book
- A picture of your cat
- Ask what are the top 10 MUST HAVE Twitter Apps.
- Reply to someone else’s tweet publicly or private to them.
- Retweet someone else’s tweet that you like.

YOU NAME IT…

It is my predication, as well as MANY, that Twitter will become a MUST have tool for your business and life.

Start using it and start “tweeting” and watch how people start to follow you.

Hint: reply to other peoples Tweets with interesting  stuff, and people will find you. Why, that person will reply with YOUR name and many will see you.

Example if You reply to me. I may reply to you like

@johndoe, You really did not like that movie. I did. But I will make sure to watch the Brad Pitt one as you suggested.

I even add a note in my SIG file when I email people to follow me on Twitter and put logs to do the same on my blog.

*** So I will make a deal with you ***

Follow me and…

…I WILL FOLLOW YOU. FOR EVER

(As long as you do not spam or just trash talk etc.. - Oh, and please upload a photo or avatar and fill out your profile. Trust me it helps.)

So if you want me to follow YOU as well, just get started and follow me.
