Two of the biggest things that separate successful people from most others out there wanting to find success are consistency and doing the extra 5%. That extra 5% may not seem like a lot, but if you add that up throughout the day when you’re doing one more little productive thing, one more share, and one more little post, it adds up. In our world today, it has gotten easier to do extra. It used to be harder when we didn’t have social media and you had to write letters. Sometimes we are such in a spoiled state that we just sit here sit here and expect people to show up. You can’t expect people to show up. You got to go out and carve it. Seize the opportunity and do a little bit more and share a little bit more about what you do. Scott discusses how the extra 5% of activities can help you find success exponentially faster.

Learning by doing accelerates things. For note investor Dan Deppen, the journey to note independence started off when he read about note investing online and found Note Camp.

After six months or so of studying and trying to figure things out, he joint ventured with a more experienced note investor and right around the same time bought his first note. Dan says it’s great to go through all the theory and put together a model and figure out your game plan, but then when things actually start happening and you encounter different situations, that’s when you learn all the details and the mechanics of how the sales work. Dan talks about his first day as a full-time note investor, his path to quitting his job, and his goals of financial freedom.

The great thing about coming to an event like the Podcast Movement is that you learn different tricks and different tools from other experts and peers. You meet people who collaborate and work together and share their passion and hobbies through their podcasts. For some, it’s a hobby that they can monetize. For others, it’s an avenue to talk about their ideas and passions. Whatever it may be, it is not such a huge competition because everybody is doing something different and there are so many different kinds out there. Everybody has their own niche and their own lane that they stay onto. Scott discusses some of the biggest nuggets from attending Podcast Movement 2018, including his three eureka moments.

Money is an accelerator of who you are. The problem if you don’t know your financial why and it’s just all about the money, it’s never enough. Bestselling author and Transformation Nation podcast host Damion Lupo lost $20 million in assets during the economic slump of 2008. Like a lot of other people, he thought he was invincible and bulletproof. He didn’t have the foundation and didn’t have smart people around him to keep him informed and grounded. His ego took over until ultimately, the universe ran him over with a freight train and forced him to figure out what he was doing and why. Scott brings on financial expert Damion Lupo who shares his journey back from losing $20 million in profits during the downturn and how he worked hard to make it back and help educate other investors along the way.

When you’re in the online marketing space like Kristie and Elijah Whites from Serving Social are, automatically what you get a lot is, “I want to build a web store because this kid on this show that I saw made $100 million in two weeks and I know I could do that because I have a great product.” Kristie and Elijah says you could probably make $1 million dollars in two weeks or even $100 million if you wanted to, but it takes a lot to build up to that certain point and it’s something you have to consistently do. They say when you do something like a podcast, you have to be ready to be authentic. You have to have your own original concepts, your own original story. You have to put yourself out there and you have to be somebody that some people can relate with. In other words, you have to be you. You have to maintain saying, “This is who I am. This is who I’m going to be and I’m going to consistently deliver you this exact same content on a regular basis.” Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join the Note Closers Show community today:WeCloseNotes.comThe Note Closers Show FacebookThe Note Closers Show TwitterScott Carson LinkedInThe Note Closers Show YouTubeThe Note Closers Show VimeoThe Note Closers Show InstagramWe Close Notes Pinterest

Dealing with people can be tricky. Most especially when you are calling your borrowers about note deals. Scott breaks down the to-dos and what-not’s when doing your own borrower outreach. In this business, you will most likely be in the dilemma of choosing between “to call” or “not to call.” Either way, there are things you need to keep in mind when faced with these situations—from the legalities and authorization, up to the right kind of attitude when dealing with people. There is also the question of when not to waste your time with borrowers and why, at the end of it all, the best thing to do is not to call.

We see it all the time, not just in the network marketing business, where we’re working with people who want change. They want to do something different but the how scares them. They slip and fade away and go back to what’s comfortable even if they don’t like it because it’s easy and they know it. But trainer, coach, and author Denise Walsh says it’s not a place of growth. There’s a few things that Denise has learned over the past decade when she’s working with people who are eager to change but don’t know how. Denise says overcoming obstacles involves getting in depth and connecting emotionally with your why because when the why is strong, the how seems to show up. Don’t allow the emotional ups and downs of business to derail you because experiencing all of these road bumps is just a part of the process.

One thing that people have to remember is that the job growth and the opportunities got to keep up with the development. Mike Jordan, president of Strategy Investment Group based in Michigan says he’s seeing a lot more Motor City investments as investors pick up properties and revitalize them in the Detroit area. Jordan specializes in real estate investments and property management services. His specific philosophy is to always look at clean, repair, replace. Where a lot of people in the note business take over poppies, Jordan says he takes over property. He says one thing where you could never go wrong is taking care of the client. Always be honest and communicate with the client even if it’s something they don’t want to hear, and that’s where success is. He shares what his clean, repair, replace philosophy is all about and talks about the Detroit Home Mortgage program.

When the floods happened, when the hurricane rolled through Texas, there were somewhere between 45,000 and 75,000 household affected by it. That number is increasing. That’s the hurricane effect. What does that mean? It means there’s an opportunity for us as note investors, if you like Texas notes, to reach out to the banks, reach out to the servicers, reach out to the mortgage companies and mortgage bankers to see if they’ve got anything on their books they want to get rid of. Scott talks about the opportunities you have as note investors during the aftermath of the recent hurricanes.
