Consistency is the Key

Being consistent is something I seem to be having a little trouble with right now. I have my list of stuff to do everyday but can only get one or two things done. But not the things I should be getting to, namely, calling my section 8 list, (I got that from my county's section 8 department), we buy houses numbers and putting up ads on websites like: craigslist, backpage and kijiji. I should be doing the ad thing everyday and trying to find new buyers. I will keep doing my daily list until I get it right. Steph at Flip This Wholesaler has started an Accountability Monday thing on her blog to get those that follow her to keep each other motivated. It's great.

About four weeks ago a rehab crew started demo on a house literally at the top of my street. The house is almost complete on the outside now and it took me until two weeks ago to get up the courage to talk to the dudes I saw putting up the siding. I gave one of them my business card and an extra to give to the owner. The siding guy is a general contractor who will only consider houses if they are "falling down". I put that one the back of his business card that I got from him. I also got an email from an investor who found me through facebook. He actually answered one of my ads I had on Craigslist eight months ago but he didn't remember(maybe I might be wrong about craigslist) No biggie. We chatted over the phone a few days ago. So now I have two official buyers. I'll need to get at least 10-15 to be on the safe side before I start to make offers. We'll see how it goes.

Procrastination Blues/Organization Rules

The title says it all. I am trying though. Organization is one of the most important aspects of personal life as well as business. You need to structure and use your time wisely. What I try to do is create a master list and break that down into smaller lists. From there I try to accomplish something from the smaller list. Doesn't always work out, but I try to get at least one thing done that I can cross off.

I have been using Outlook to help me run my REI wholesaling business. I create tasks for myself that I must complete each day:
*Such as, reading my bible (not REI but a must)
* running ads on craigslist
*reading other REI blogs (TampaSteph and her Flip This Wholesaler blog rules!:-)
*Twittering (tweeting?) - tool to find Cash Buyers (this is for another post all together:-)
*Facebook - another tool to find buyers
*etc,etc.
