Robert Kiyosaki once said that every day is filled with defining moments. ​ And that’s absolutely true. ​ From the moment we wake up, we define ourselves when we decide to get up and exercise or sleep an extra half hour. We define ourselves when we call in sick even though we could go to work. We define ourselves when we choose our company to our family. We define ourselves when we watch television instead of reading a book on business or investing. We define ourselves when we turn our money over to a mutual fund to invest for us instead of learning how to invest by ourselves. We define ourselves when we choose social media to improve ourselves. ​ You’ve already had a few defining moments today. What you choose from now on… it’s up to you. But now, I hope that you are conscious of every decision you make. ​ What would you do with the link below? ​Even you can make money in Real Estate. ​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

In the middle of all that, there was supposed to be a clause that said the contractor had to provide a "large-tonnage crane." Don’t ask why. Maybe some stupid Spanish...
I receive their email religiously every week. They fabricate and install curtains. You don’t expect to be renewing those things every week. Nor every year. But here they are, sending those emails weekly. On the other hand, I tried to look for 15 min for the guys that do the shampooing of my carpet. That’s something that you should be doing twice or so a year. Not an email. And still… is there anything more recurrent / certain? Probably yes, but it’s Sunday and I have the brain focused on...
A couple of weeks ago, I received a call from an agent. Vicente, I have this house for you, and you should take a look. I receive the link. I take a look. The ratio rooms: people was 2:1 and I counted the cat as one. “Too big for us”. “Too big? But you can afford it” “That may be true, but it’s too big, we don’t need that space”. The conversation could have ended there, but insistence is too much of a temptation… especially, when you don’t have many prospects. If you thought that the decision...
