A Few Highlights of REAPS Workshop with John Burley
ByREAPs kicked off the 2010 workshops with John Burley teaching the January workshop. I was able to attend the workshop and enjoyed the day and have included a few notes I took during the day for those of you who were not able to attend.
Towards the end of the day John Burley took time to talk about the importance of Vision and Hope.
Vision – A precise, clearly defined goal with a detailed plan and time table for achieving that goal
Hope – A well-founded and confident belief that a specific vision (goal, desire or promise) will be achieved or fulfilled within a specific amount of time
It is important to realize that Hope is what fuels out lives and gives us energy. There are too many today living their lives with little to no Hope. Make sure you are creating the Hope you need in order to fuel your life.
John Burley walked through the Five Steps of Creating a Vision & Hope; you should do this exercise for every area/aspect of your life.
- A Big Dream – Vision
- Create goals for each vision
- Convert the goals into specific steps
- Create specific action tasks
- Have a Timeline – You need a timeline to keep yourself accountable in doing the small actions
He sees many investors getting caught up in activities that do not grow their business or make them money. There are only three things we do as real estate investors that make money:
- Make offers
- Giving proposals to investors
- Marketing our properties
