Chris Prefontaine says spending 100 hours a year on skill-building puts you ahead of 95% of real estate competitors. He recommends practicing scripts and studying deal structures through his QLS Home Study Course, which includes seller-call recordings and deal videos on YouTube.
I personally want to help you. I want to see where you are now with your goals, where you're looking to go ideally, and then what's getting in the way there. What's the mess, the roadblocks? All right, welcome to another Motivational Monday. You know, I was on YouTube recently and I saw a video that said, I wish real estate was easier. And here was my knee-jerk, and I wrote down in big letters here on my desk, don't wish real estate was easier. Instead, wish you personally were better. Let me give you some ammo here, and then I'm going to give you a chance to get on a live call with me, and we can rip this apart together and make sure that you make this year your absolute best year. It's been absolutely proven that when you personally spend 100 hours in one given year working on any skill set, any skill set whatsoever, you'll be ahead of 95% of the competitors out there, 95% of them. So let's break that down. If you're going to do 100 hours in 1 year, that's 16.44 minutes per day. If you're— or if you're 5 days a week, it's actually 23 minutes a day, right? If you're just doing your 5-day week and then you're taking weekends off, you're not doing any personal development or anything. So think about in 2024, and it doesn't matter what year you're seeing this, what is your 16.44 or 23 minutes a day? What could you be doing during that timeframe? I have some ideas for you. In our QLS Home Study Course, we have loads of scripts, loads of live seller calls, and just using that one thing, like honing in on just your scripts for that 16.44 minutes a day, if you just did that for the year, you wouldn't even need the year, you'd actually probably take that on as a quarterly project, you would be in commonly asked questions, not just scripts on talking to sellers, but commonly asked questions, you'd be so much further ahead. Of anyone out there calling sellers. And you actually enjoy calling sellers and solving their problems. Deal structuring. We have, I don't know what the number is now, 200, 300, maybe more hundred deal structure videos on our, on this, uh, on YouTube right now on this, on this channel. Uh, just go to the Deal Structure Sunday, uh, uh, section. There's Q&A Thursday, Motivational Monday that you're on here, and then Deal Structures. Well, if you took one trimester or one quarter And you did scripts and you took another quarter and every day, just 60 minutes, you did deal structure, again, you'd be so much farther ahead. Just going through the QLS Home Study Course in general, you're 95% of the comp— you're ahead of 95% of the competition. I promise you that. We've done REIA meeting after REIA meeting, the Real Estate Investment Groups, if you're not familiar with that vernacular. And we've had people raise their hand and say, I've never seen this. We had a 20-plus-year veteran in Philly once. He ran the REIA and he said, I've never seen this. I've never seen a system like this. I've never seen training like this. I've never seen interaction Active help like you guys do ever. If you want to get a hold of that, by the way, side note: just go to getqls.com. Getqls.com. You also can participate in our virtual events. We got another one coming up again depending on when you're seeing this. There's two a year: wickedsmartsummit.com. This particular year is virtual, and qlslive.com is live, and it always is live except for during COVID So qlslive.com. Guys, I said at the beginning, I want to give you a chance to get on the phone with me. I personally want to help you. I want to see where you are now with your goals, where you're looking to go ideally, and then what's getting in the way there. What's the mess, the roadblocks? What's the stumbling block? What's the speed bumps? What's in there that we can help you kind of fix or get rid of or improve a skill set, improve a mindset, whatever it might be? Just go to smartrealestatecoach.com/action and you'll get on my calendar and we'll go ahead and we'll get a game plan together this year.
