What The Value-Driven Investor Is All About
Close your eyes and Imagine, gearing up to make your first jump out of an airplane!
Because today you will be skydiving for the very first time ever. How exciting is that!!!
Just like skydiving for your first time. Buying your first real estate investment deal can be scary and will paralyze you with fear. It will have you saying to yourself, “What if I don’t make it, what if I lose money, what if I don’t find a renter, what if I don’t find a buyer for the price I need, what if I can’t make my mortgage payment, WHAT IF?”
As you get prepared to jump out of the plan you are getting instructions on what will happen.
You are being told what you need to stay alive and worst of all… You are being told all the things that might go wrong.
Even though statistics prove you have a very low probability of dying. There is still a chance.
It’s the fear, the chance of dying, that holds you back and separates winners from losers.
If you can get past your fear… Next thing you know. You are up in the plan at 10,000 feet.
Strapped to your Jumping partners back.
Your jumping partner is your guide when it comes to skydiving.
Just like the Value-Driven Investor community is your guide when it comes to real estate investing.
Your jumping partner has skydived a million times and still lives to take you on your first jump today.
So you know… You have a chance to make it.
But, why is your mind playing tricks on you?
Why are you still doubting your choice to jump?
Because your brain is hardwired to help you make choices that will reduce your risk…
When your brain feels like you are taking a Chance.
Your brain keeps telling you, “Don’t do it!!! You’ll Die.”
Your jumping partner tells you, “Don’t sweat it… I’ve done this a million times.’
What do you do?
It’s in this exact moment.
When your jumping partner is strapped to your back and the GREEN LIGHT goes on.
He yells into your ear, “It’s GO TIME!!!”
Now is your defining moment.
You can turn back.
You can quit.
What will You do?
Just like skydiving, buying your first real estate investment property feels exactly the same way. You will question everything about the decision you are about to make.
You will question everything about the “What If” that could destroy your life.
You will find every excuse NOT to buy your first investment property.
What will you do?
“Bro, I know what you are thinking. You are scared as hell and don’t want to do it. That’s natural. Trust me I don’t want to die either. I GOT YOUR BACK!!!” Your jumping partner whispers in your ear.
BOOOM!!!
Before you even know it... YOU jumped out of the plane.
WAIT!!!! - You scream as you realize you are falling from the plane.
Your heart is beating a million times a minute. You literally can’t breathe because you are having a panic attack. You Scream louder.
WAIT!!!
As you are having the ride of your life, the next thing your brain tells you, “Hey, this isn’t so bad. We might make it.”
Then you land on the ground and realize you almost missed out on one of the best experiences you have ever had in your life.
All because you were scared to venture out of your comfort zone.
You were scared to do something different…. To take a chance.
The next thing that comes out of your mouth, “When are we going to do it again!!”
The same thing happens when you buy your first real estate investment deal and live to tell the story.
No matter if you make a profit or not. The fact you jumped from the plan, landed safely and lived to learn about what it feels like to invest in real estate.
My friend, this is the most existing and liberating feeling you will ever experience.
Because you will have realized “Anything Is Possible — If you believe.”
Ultimately, over my 17 years of real estate investing, what I discovered was Experience & Community (Jumping Partners) are the ultimate tools that allow us to get where we want to go.
That’s WHAT the Value-Driven Investor is all about.
We are about building a community of like minded people who lead by giving.
Just like your jumping partner does when he agrees to be strapped to your back.
Your Value-Driven Investor community agrees to guide you along your real estate investment journey.
Will it be easy?
HELL NO!!!
Will you get scared and want to quit?
HELL YES!!!
But, it’s in that moment when you are just about to quit on yourself… When your Value-Driven Investor community will give you the strength to keep moving forward.
We will give you the confidence you are making a smart, safe and profitable investment.
An investment, if executed correctly, will be another step toward a life on your terms.
For me, Tim Murphy, It all started with a book by Robert Kiyosaki called “Retire Young - Retire Rich”
I grabbed that book as I was sitting in my parents basement trying to figure out my life’s path.
Wondering how I was going to achieve “Life On My Terms!”
That book opened up my mind to HOW I was going to do just that.
I needed to start by changing my words.
Because the words you tell yourself are the magic that will allow you to change your mindset.
With a changed mindset I realized I could change my life’s path.
So, that is what I set out to do.
We all start our entrepreneurial journey in the SURVIVAL PHASE.
It’s in this phase where you live or die as an entrepreneur.
It’s in the phase where you are tested and you must dig deep.
Because everything you thought was hard… Only gets harder.
If it was easy, everyone would do it.
The SURVIVAL PHASE is about 4 things:
Mindset
Designing Your Life
Education
Experience
As I sat in my parents basement this is exactly what I started to do after reading the book, “Retire Young - Retire Rich.”.
I did this by educating myself.
I bought books, courses, attended seminars, watched videos….
Anything I could get my hands on that would help me find my path.
This went on for years and years…
I discovered during this time of struggle in the SURVIVAL PHASE it takes 2 solid years of fighting, grinding and never giving up before I actually felt like there was a glimmer of hope for me to make it as a real estate entrepreneur.
Over the course of those two years I spent money finding the right words.
Discovering my path.
And making lots and lots of mistakes.
The number one things I came to realize over all these years.
There is no seminar, no course, no information product and no book that will ever make you successful.
The only way success happen is if YOU TAKE ACTION.
You have to JUMP!!!
I share this story with you because it is exactly how I felt when I took my first jump into real estate investing… Three different times.
Each time I had a jumping partner and each time I landed safely.
It was my ability to trust my partner who had more experience than me.
My confidence and ability to give up control… Allowed me to make it to where I am today.
To be your jumping partner.
Because together, Anything Is Possible.
After experiencing the jump and living to tell your story...
The next step is jumping out of the plan on your own.
This is what our Value-Driven Investor Team and I want to be for YOU and our Value-Driven Investor community.
We want to be the one who pushes you out of the plan and lands you safely on the ground.
So, you can believe "Anything Is Possible"
The choice is yours.
If you are committed to building a life on your terms.
If you are committed to putting in the work.
If you are committed to never quitting.
Then the Value-Driven Investor community is committed to you.
