How to Get What You REALLY Want in Your Life & Biz

In the first module of our full Private Money Blueprint System, we help you build a rock solid foundation in your REI biz first… so that you’re ready to take the market by storm.
Without this “foundation”, all the private money and real estate investing techniques and strategies in the world won’t help you.
Part of this process includes planning exactly what you want in the 8 core areas of your life, taking what we call, The REI Litmus Test (which tells you which investment strategies are best for you based on what you want in each core area), creating your biz plan, among other things.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn what those 8 core areas are, why it’s vitally important to know what you want in these areas, and I’m going to share tips to put your new goals on steroids (so you achieve them faster and easier)…
8 Core Areas in Life – How to Get What You REALLY Want
When you know where you’re headed (in other words, when you know exactly what you want), you can start taking educated action towards it.
Why You MUST Decide (and Plan) What You Want in Life & Biz
Think about it…
You want to go on a vacation. What’s the first thing you need to do?
Decide where you want to go.
ONLY then, can you move forward with the steps necessary to make that vacation happen.
Once you know where you’re going, you can plan your travel, your accommodations, what you’re gonna do once you get there, take the needed time off from your job, etc.

Make sense?
Well, it’s the same way with anything, and I mean ANYTHING you want in life.
If you don’t plan what you want in every core area of your life, you’ll never get it.
Action Step: Set aside 1 hour right now… write down (this is key… you absolutely MUST write down them down) 3 goals in each core area. It’s best to have both short term and long term goals.
How to Put Your Goals on Steroids
Here are a few tips that will put you on the fast track to getting what you want in your life and in your REI biz…
1) Stated in the Positive
Your goals should be what you want, NOT what you don’t want.
2) Personal
You have to want it. Not what your parents want for you or your spouse or friends. For the goal to be effective, it must be something that you want.
3) Specific (Result & Time Frame)
This is critical. the result must be quantifiable, and a time frame established. Otherwise, it’s simply a wish, a hope.
Here’s an example of a goal that meets each of the three characteristics thus far (assuming you want private money for your deals):
“It is X-Date, and I closed my first deal with a $125,000 private money loan.”
4) Experience it in Your Mind
If you can’t see it in your mind, you won’t see it in reality. That’s how the world works.
How do you think the property you live in was built?
… it was first an idea in someone’s mind.
Ask yourself, “What do I see, hear, and feel having accomplished my goals?”
What do you look like? How do you feel? What are you saying to yourself? What are others saying to you?
The more you experience your goals as achieved in your mind, the faster you’ll achieve them in your life.
Leave your thoughts, questions, and comments below. I’d love to hear from ya 🙂

Yo….not to discount everything you have done thus far… But this is your best post. To me anyway. Sometimes certain things mean more to certain people, and I feel like this topic is core to all and any success Before any RE transaction. Thanks P Rid. Keep it coming.
Please keep in mind that action is the secret to all this stuff – with out action nothing happens – at some point you need to put the books down and take action
Good Luck for 2011
Thanks. That helped me get started on my focus for this year.
Wonderful information as always and I agree with you. Good action plan to start the year out right. Best to all of you!
Justin… awesome man. I’m with you.
Mike… you’re right. I love the Tony Robbins quote, “The path to success is to take massive determined action.” Once you know where you’re headed in each area of your life, you can lay out your action plan… then it’s time to take massive action.
Beverly… you’re welcome 🙂
Mary… thank ya. I hope your 2011 is off to a good start. If we can help with anything, let us know.

At age 65 I’m starting a new career as a real estate agent in NYC. I’ve been self employed for the last 5 years and am finding that surrounding myself with other like minded people to establish goals and to be at least somewhat accountable to others is a definite help. I say “somewhat accountable” because we’re all independent contractors and really running our own businesses. I have set some specific numbers of deals to get done over the course of the year and expect to refine as the year goes along but all will point toward a bottom line achievement by the end of the year.
Tom… sounds great. Surrounding yourself with like minded people can make THE difference between success… and well, not success.
If you haven’t already, you may read Napoleon Hill’s classic, Think and Grow Rich.
He goes over the power of the Mastermind (having a group of like minded people to help grow each other’s businesses)… and unveils his philosophy of personal achievement.
One of the best business books out there.

What we desire to be, we must live now. The action we presently take towards that vision only confirms and eventually solidify that initial intention into our physical reality.
There can only be obstacles to a mind that believes there is much effort and strife. If we can become now, in our attitudes, perspectives and demeanor, what we strive to be then that intention will surely come to pass. In this way, having to do a thing as a task is replaced with natural and effortless movement.
Wow, very well said William.
Thanks for sharing.
