Time Mastery

Time is truly our most precious resource. The famous writer, Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber, wrote, "Unlike other resources, time cannot be bought or sold, borrowed or stolen, stocked up or saved, manufactured, reproduced, or modified. All we can do is make use of it. And whether we use it or not, it nevertheless slips away." It truly is how we use it to our advantage that makes the difference. How effectively are you using the time you are given? Are you performing the high payoff activities in your day?

Many people may be asking, "What are the high payoff activities in real estate?" These are the activities that pay you exceedingly well per hour. They also happen to be the activities that only you can do. Your assistants will never be as good as you in all these activities. Because of your skill and ability, you're the one who has to do them. If your staff were as skilled as you … they would not be working for you. They would be Agents on their own.

In real estate there are about a half dozen things that are high payoff activities. They are lead follow-up, prospecting, listing appointments, showing property, and writing and negotiating contracts. How much of your day is spent in these activities? The truth is no one will do these activities better than you. If you have staff, once they get markedly better than you in these activities, they will often leave you and go on their own. The highest pay per hour is contained in those half dozen things. Low payoff items have a tendency to push out the high payoff activities.

They try to fake us out that they are important. Have you ever had a day where you left the office and felt like nothing got done? You just spent the day in low payoff activities. The low payoff day is like being in the twilight zone all day. You were present in body, but nothing got done.

To ensure you do high payoff activities daily, block them into your schedule. Create a specific time slot for prospecting daily. Make a time for lead follow-up daily. Schedule them both in and be militant with keeping other low payoff activities out of those slots. Turn your cell phone and pager off during those time slots, and then you can focus with intensity on prospecting and lead follow-up. If you just spend one hour a day prospecting and a half an hour to one hour doing lead follow-up daily, that will solve any production problems you have in your business, and you will gain quality time with your family. Find those times and block them in today.

The next step to time mastery is learning to do first things first. Too often, we spend time on the wrong tasks. Before you leave for the day, make a list of tasks that you need to do. To be highly effective, we must set up tomorrow before it comes. You will save ten minutes of execution for every one minute of planning you do. Then take the list and prioritize from most important to least important. I will give you a hint … the hardest thing that needs to be done is most important. When you walk in the office in the morning, start with #1. Work on #1 until you have it completely done. Then you can move on to #2. We often lack the vision to prioritize. We work on ten things at once, never completing anything. This causes frustration and low work output. Focus on the most important task. Focus always comes before success.

It is very easy to get distracted by clients, prospects, or other Agents. You must win the game of distraction. We all have distractions daily. It's what we do with the distractions that come our way that matters. The difference between a time waster and a time master is the length of time it takes for that person to get back on track. For a time waster, it could be hours, or even days, to get back on track. For a time master, it will be minutes before he is back on track.

People who control time earn more money. Time was designed to serve us … not be served by us. Many people feel that time is money. Israel Davidson said it well when he was quoted, "Time is infinitely more precious than money, and there is nothing in common between them.

You cannot accumulate time; you cannot borrow time; you can never tell how much time you have left in the Book of Life. Time is life … ." Use it well.

And one way to use it, is to watch the live presentations at www.fastsellerloans.com, it could also be very profitable for you.....

You Can Go Straight to Voicemail

One result of having an Internet business is that you end up dealing with people all over the world. And that means trying to remember what time zone they're in... or risk waking them up in the middle of their night when you call during your regular work hours. Now there's a way to bypass ringing their phone. Slydial allows you to go straight to someone's voicemail. This is also helpful if you need to leave a message for someone who, for one reason or another, can't receive calls at that time.

The service is free... if, that is, you don't mind listening to a short recorded advertisement first. If you'd rather not, it's 15 cents per call. (Or you can subscribe to the service.) Simply dial 267-Slydial, and you will be prompted to enter the number you're calling.

This feature is available for some cellphone users, but only within their own network.

The Three Magic Words to Building Wealth Online

What are the three most important words for rapidly building enormous wealth online?

Quick, cheap, & easy! Our new Home Seller Assist program has them all.

You see, the problem with most Internet advice out there is it's designed for people with big (multi-million dollar) advertising budgets, lots of administrative, legal, and accounting support and an existing marketing base. The Home Seller Assist program created by John Alexander is nothing like that at all.

But if your company is smaller than $1 million and/or if you don't have an Internet business yet, then you need something different... something that lets you start off small.

Let John show you how you could get a similar Internet income stream running for almost nothing.

And if you need a loan to buy a house with no bank qualifying, visit www.webuyfastnow.com and send in a quick application today.

How to Make Money Even When You Make a Mistake

If you have a fixed-rate amortizing loan on a cash-flow property, you'll eventually own the property free and clear, regardless of price fluctuations in between. Buy a $1 million property with $200,000 down and you'll eventually pick up $800,000 just from using the rents to pay off the debt.

In the meantime, you'll also pocket net rents (the money left over after paying operating costs, the mortgage, and leaving a little something for reserves). So in a very bad case scenario - where the market goes nowhere for the next 20 years - you could end up making over a million dollars from a $200,000 investment. And, of course, if the market soon bottoms and improves, you could end up making a million or even millions much sooner.

So in a bear market, focus on buying cash-flow properties at below market value in areas that you believe are promising and where you are confident you can put in good management. At the same time, for added bear market protection, buy near or below replacement cost whenever possible.

Tune into the live presentation each Tues and Wed of the Home Seller Assist program hosted by John Alexander at www.fastsellerloans.com, all times are central.

How does a weak dollar affect housing and stock prices?

I can understand the prices of oil, precious metals, food, etc. going up when the dollar is devalued - but how does that reconcile with housing and stock prices going down?

A devalued dollar doesn't really have a strong relationship with the housing or stock markets. Granted, a weaker dollar should make any American assets more attractive to foreigners. But there isn't a huge, parallel relationship such as the one the dollar shares with oil.

So why are our stock and housing markets crashing? Because banks issued way too much credit to people who never should've gotten it. Now those loans are being defaulted on, and banks across the nation are losing tens of billions.

Since the big banks are in trouble, they have slowed their lending. And if people can't borrow money easily, a lot of them won't buy a house, a car, or even a washing machine. This reduced spending eventually hits the profits of major corporations, and the downturn continues.

In the end, the housing and stock market crash had little to do with a falling dollar and more to do with too much credit. Until that build up finishes unwinding, you'll continue to see bank stocks drop in value.
