Type(s) of Victory: Paid it forward somehow
We started using a new way of marketing for us and received a lead from someone selling a property. We reached out to this individual and found out that he was just a month into Real Estate Investing. He mentioned that he had a property under contract with no EMD, didn't have answers to a lot of my questions and was completely unaware of some of the terms I was using; e.g. EMD, wholesale, under contract, etc. Although the whole conversation seemed sketchy, I learned that this person had a genuine interest in learning REI. He was humble enough to admit he was, and I quote, "dumb when it came to REI", and admitted to being a complete novice who knew nothing about what he was doing. I thanked him for his honesty and humility as I know not many investors, especially here in New York, who would admit to this, and I began to unintentionally and unconditionally coach him for the next 30 minutes on what answers and information he should have to provide his next buyer. I made sure to congratulate him on the step of faith he took to jump into REI with little to no wings. I told him about Fortune Builders and our "Pay It Forward" mentality and he was very appreciative of the fact that I took time out of my day to invest in his REI career. I then gave him my direct cell phone and email so that he can have access to me as he deems needed. Now why is this a victory for me? - Because it feels good to help those in need. If feels good to know that the education I have acquired over my 18 months in Mastery can help another individual hungry enough to JUMP into this shark infested industry. If felt good to to give a hand to someone who was not expecting it as he never thought I would take time of my day so he can have a great first deal. That to me felt amazing and I know deep down in my heart that was the right thing to do! #SeekToServe #PayItForward #CAW #CrushedIt Thank you Fortune Builders!!!!
