Seminar Seduction
FAR 178 Seminar Seduction Expected Air Date: 8/20/18 Opening If you’ve been around this business awhile, going to networking meetings or REIA groups, you’ve seen it - the tire-kicker. Or as we sometimes refer to the person - the Seminar Junkie. It took me about two visits to the group to realize that the vast majority of people who attend these meetings or belong to the networking groups are never going to actually do anything. I am the official organizer of three meetup groups in the Atlanta area with a combined membership of just over 5,000 people, which sounds pretty impressive until I share with you that I think out of the three groups perhaps 50 people are active investors and maybe 10 of those are doing this as their full-time job. I’m not criticizing the other group members. Some are gathering information and considering their options. Some are highly motivated and are planning their new career as well as the exit from their current career. Some are just lonely and want to meet people, so they join meetup groups. It’s all fine. My concern is primarily for the self-deluded. These are the people who think they want to be in this business, and really intend to be, but there is something in their psyche that prevents them from taking action. I’m pretty sure I don’t know how to get anyone over that hurdle, because I never had to engage in conscious steps to take action - it’s just always been a part of me. But I’m going to do what I can to help you today to overcome Seminar Seduction. And ironically, I’ll be offering my seminar to you today on the show, coming up in a few moments. Did you know that there are nearly two dozen United States cities that are predicted to have an AVERAGE home price of over a million dollars by mid 2019? I’ll tell you where they are in just a few minutes. You’ll be very surprised at a few of them. That plus more news, information, and a scam alert coming up.
