Problem Solving Creates Experts

When you have your own business people think that you are your own boss........That is somewhat true. I see a lot of future business owners that want a great business in less that 2 months.

Their is a lot of people and companies out there that promise you a quick profit and off the charts cash flow. You don't even need to work if you don't want to. Oh yeah no experience necessary. Ever heard that? I've opened two very successful companies and helped build two other very successful business's with my Dad . I can tell you with all that experience that you do need experience.

Getting experience is easy just stick with something you like and you'll get very good at it. I've been doing real estate investing for 25 years and have experience. I can tell you some of it was very fun and some of it totally sucked.

When problems arise you need to solve them or have someone that can solve them for you. When you graduate to this level you become successful at what your doing. Most people and business owners run from problems that's why they will probably never be successful, but the ones that take them head on will be successful.

Example: When Donald Trump was all but finished he met with that banks and did some pretty awesome things. He became a problem solver and now a billionaire because he didn't rin from his problems. Another would be Tony Robbins he went broke and took a long trip came back problem solved. He started his now famous business problem solved.

Taking the attitude that you will not fail and that you can handle every problem that comes your way will always make you successful!

Are Investors good for the market

Some people think that investors are bad for real estate. Are they? Investors take all the risk in buying "as is" real estate. That means whatever is wrong with the property the investors are on the hook for the fix up.

If there is any problem with the home that was unexpected the investors will need to fix it. In to days market all homes are inspected and need to be done correctly. I've done over 500 homes and understand the market. Inspections are important to a buyer for peace of mind, and to make sure there warranty has no pre existing conditions.

My clients buy a lot of homes in Ohio and we buy as is. We do inspections and understand the rehabbing needed. Electric, gas and water are not turned on. So you cannot test the heater,plumbing and water heater. This means that we have to replace them a lot of times. The city will come in and red tag the items they want replaced. When this happens the investor is on the hook no government programs or taxpayers dollars.

The point I'm making is that with risk their should be reward. So making money to help make neighborhoods nicer is a win win situation. When an investor is finished the home is in better condition which helps generate better places for American people to live. It also helps the Government collect tax dollars, and helps the banks retrieve more money through mortgages.

So when people are making money in real estate that's OK because with risk their should be reward.

Being really good at what you do

Being in real estate for 25 years and a licensed realtor for 10 yrs I always strive to be better. Everyday I get up I say to myself what can I do today to be better at what I do. There are many areas I can be better in.

1. Marketing-Probably the most important part of your business. There are many different ways to market. Meetings,printed ads and Internet. Everyday I get up I think of new ways to market and get the word out in my business. EXAMPLE; I quickly found out I needed to learn about the Internet and found some courses that would help me understand it. I always have ads going out almost on a daily basis.

2. Quality Control- I make sure that my product(real estate) is represented and makes my clients happy. My business has many facets Buying, construction, property management, selling, and overall activities that are involved everyday. Example: I call all my people at least twice a week and go over the activities they need to be doing and how it's going with that activity. Keeping in touch with your people is very important.

3. Customer Followup- Sometimes the hardest for people, picking up the phone and calling a client. They appreciate that most of the time. Sure sometimes they don't but that is just part of the business. Example; I dealt with a property for over 6 months but I called the client and updated him daily. Not fun but that's how you get really good at what you do. Your followup in quality control is very important with customer followup. By the way he is still a client. Example: I use an emailing program that has all my clients email address's in it. I email them weekly to update them on new stuff and my product.

4. Making Money- Some business owners have issues with this. I've had the same problems most have had. How much do you charge for your product or service? You can get information on your charges via Internet, news papers. TV etc. Just make sure your charges make you money. I see people charge very little for what they do and that can be very discouraging. So make sure you make money this helps you improve your services and make your clients happier. Example I've hired some consultants and tried some things they say. Consultants aren't always right but they give you great ideas.

Why some people are successful

I talk to a lot of people during the week and get a lot of information from them. Some of it I use and others I don't. I wanted to write this article to go over why I think some people are successful.

I talked to some investors and people that talk about how they've abandoned their dreams. They've hit a rough spot in the economy and put their tails between their legs and want out. We've all been in this type of scenario haven't we?

Your dreams will end when you let them. This economy is a time to learn how to do business in maybe the worst economy in our time. These times are like going to college and learning business. You have to get the attitude that you will succeed and you will find a way to do it.

I've been in business for over 25 years and know the ups and downs and the downs are the best time to become an expert in your field. So please do not give up your dreams just because your having a tough time right know. We all are and we will get through it.

Having a dream and completing it are two totally different things. When your feeling down or something is not going right in your business you need to shift your total thought pattern to encompass ways to resolve your problem. A lot of times people just think of ways for things not to work. You want to make sure things do work and thinking that way is a great way to start.

You will eventually train your brain to think of ways to resolve the problem you are facing. When you do that you'll find that you will be more profitable and make your life a better one.

You will also see many new doors that will eventually open up for you.
