Playing Plumber
I spend the better half of the morning going over a transcription of an Audio CD that I build for one of my Inner Circle member to flip houses and duplexes to a particular niche.
It was 16 pages. Times New Roman, size 10, single-spaced.
Could anything be more boring than editing a transcription of an audio CD?
There is lots of “fun stuff” we get to do in our industry.
- Get to look at foreclosures.
- Go to lunches with other real estate investors in your Michigan City.
- Run ads in Craig’s List and see the responses pour in.
I like going to seminars and mastermind meetings and hang out with other Michigan real estate entrepreneurs to get new ideas to implement.
Then there is the “plumbing” things that I have to do – where I get to play plumber, on hands and knees, fixing broken pipes, under the sink, which nobody ever gets to see, like building a Private Money PowerPoint or editing a transcription of an audio CD to wholesale houses which explains the program and on what exactly is required of people interested so whey they meet my member – they are already ready to go and do business, hunkering down and writing 7 emails in a follow-up sequence that goes out a list of people who have responded to a Craig’s List ad.
The fun stuff makes the business interesting.
Becoming a good plumber, if you choose to become good at it, can make you rich.
