Ready to profit? - Dean Graziosi Weekly Wisdom

Hey, everybody. Dean Graziosi, welcome to the weekly wisdom. I finally have Matt Larson. Ah, Matt Larson in the house. Man, you've been busy, dude.

All over. Been everywhere. Working like crazy.

Yeah, Good stuff.

All good. Yeah. Good year.

Gonna be what I told everybody. You know, last year so many of you watched when Matt was just crushing it with wholesaling, took it to a whole other level with using assistants and interns. We had it. We did a live cast, we did training every. And it was unbelievable. Some of the best training we've ever done. And in the last month, I've barely seen you. In the last three months, you've been everywhere. I've been trying to get your butt back down here, down to Phoenix. And plus it's cold up in Chicago and the Quad Cities. But he's been doing some incredible stuff with flips without using any of his own money and crushing it. That's why I wanted to get you in here and make January the month that we kind of share some really good stuff. But what I want to share today and you're going to come back for some more videos, okay? So what I want to share today is I'm listening to the book Unbroken. Oh, my God. Dude, it is un. I know the movie's out, but I don't know how the movie can. I haven't seen the movie yet. I'm afraid to go watch it because the book is so intense. I'm through 10 hours of a 12 hour book. I listen. So it's the audio today. The book hit me so hard. I know a 12 hour listen is huge or reading 12 hours. The book hit me so hard today with about an hour left that when I pulled in, I don't know if you saw my car in the parking lot. I was in the car for a half hour crying and listening to this section. I couldn't even. Jeremy, my assistant kept coming out and I kept going. Give me a minute, give me a minute. But the section I really got me today. And you got to watch the book or listen to the book or watch the book, watch the movie. You're probably not going to get it from the movie, but you'll listen to the book. It was talking about a section. Long story short, it's this guy that he was in the army during World War II. During Japanese, he was in a plane in the Pacific, was part of the bombing squad. Long story short, plane goes down, floats for. I don't want to give it away. Floats for a while, gets captured, becomes a POW and just life is Hell, and, and I don't want to give too much away, but there's a part in the movie where he's changing his life. So I'm a part in the book. I'm really got to talk vague because I don't want to share with it, but it sparked me to share with you today. And the topic of this blog that I want to share with you today is it talks about Billy Graham becomes a part is in his life at one part. And Billy Graham's telling the story about Jesus and how they bring an adulterer, adulterer to them, a woman who was caught cheating on her husband and they all condemn her. And the part, and I'm sorry I didn't read this part in the Bible. I just listen to it. From what the book said about Billy Graham was Jesus never looked up. He just said, hey, nobody can condemn her unless you have a pure soul yourself. If you're, if you sin yourself, don't you condemn her? And he said, Jesus said, go out in the streets and find somebody who's pure and then we can talk. Basically, I'm paraphrasing. And after 20 minutes, Jesus finally looked up and there was nobody but the girl there. No one else was pure, but they were all talking about her. And Jesus made her repent her sins. He forgave her and said, don't do it again. My whole point is not to get overly religious or. But my whole point is it really hit my heart is because in society, so many people want to tell you what you can do, what you can't do, what's right, what's wrong. They want to talk about the people on tv. They're fat, they're ugly, they're this, they're that. They made their money by accident. You got lucky, Matt. I'm sure how many people told you you got lucky or you think the wrong way? And my whole message for today is, man, let's just worry about ourselves. Let's just worry about ourselves before we call someone else a sinner or lazy or can't do the right thing or, you know, won't work for them. Are we really looking in the mirror? Are we talking about ourselves? So one of my messages today, man, it really just hit home is I just want to always work on me. And that's kind of been the messaging we've been talking about for the last couple weeks now, right? It's us, you know, I mean, any of that spark, I mean, I want to get to some real estate. Okay, but do you have people you're back up in Quad City, Chicago. You're fixing flipping like crazy right now. I think you're doing it in a lot of different places. Are people, let's, let's just convert it to real estate. Is anybody telling you it's not working or it's changed or they're worried about your business rather than theirs?

Yeah. And you know, the other thing too is you see somebody successful, somebody's flipping a lot of houses. That shouldn't discourage you. That should encourage you to go out and you know, find out what they're doing. Maybe they're tweaking something. You know, don't be, you know, don't be jealous of them. Get involved and find out. But yeah, everybody's still telling. I still hear every single day, hey, you know, you can't find any good deals. You know, just don't see any good deals. And everybody's trying to do fix and flips now and that's what's really popular. But just yesterday I got a killer fix and flip accepted, offer accepted off the MLS where everybody else can see it. And I immediately sent it to my banker and my banker is, you know, he's somebody that's out fixing and flipping properties as well. And he's like, dang it, I walked through that one or I saw that when I didn't grab it. But we're doing some things a little bit different that's, you know, helping us decide whether or not we can get these at a specific time and get them at a specific discount. So a lot of this training that your students have, other people don't have and they don't. And you know, my best friends, people that are in my area flipping houses are that have never gone to our training, imagine that they've seen all these hundreds of deals of thousands of deals that I've done and they've never went to the training and, and I'm snipping deals from them right and left, right off the ML.

Well and that's what I love about Matt. If you're new, so many of you are DG family, you know who Matt is. But Matt was a machine shop worker to doing non stop deals. Been full time real estate for years. He's my everything I create, he takes, improves and finds new ways. But he's always fine tuning how to find deals. And the two things that I want to talk about this month are finding unlimited amounts of money. I know you tapped into resources. We'll talk about that later. Videos tapped into resources where you have unlimited amounts of private money for your deals, for your fix and flips. And the second thing so many people are won are saying is I can't find deals where I live anymore. No more good deals. And I know that's your biggest pet peeve when people say it. You love grabbing out from underneath. So what I want to do this month is what I always do to you is I want you not to share some of the stuff you learned. You gotta share everything you learned. Because think about it, they're not your competitors, they're your DG family.

Yeah, well, you know, you used to give me about a 12 month head start.

I know.

Now I got about 30 days.

Well, dude, you were bragging how the fix and flips are going so good. So anyway, so the message I just really wanted to share today is work on ourselves. You know, I'm going to share one thing. We have a mutual friend that called Matt yesterday and he's going to watch us and know we're talking about him. Because you share because you love the guy and you have a lot of respect for him. And he was having a bad day yesterday because he was worried about what someone else said, what someone else was doing. Someone else made more money than he made and it depressed his whole day. It knocked him off kilter again. It's not a sin, but it's worrying about someone else. You know, when we start looking inside, whether we have no money or lots of money, it's who we are as a person that is going to allow us to grow. It's going to. When you worry about what someone else has, then you don't get what they have. When you worry about you, you get the chance to evolve. And the reason, you know, again, this is kind of a digressed message. I just really want to say I want to plant you guys to watch in my videos this month because we're going to extract a lot of wisdom out of Matt. If you want to know how to find unlimited amounts of money, watch every video I sent you. If you want to know how to find deals in your area, even if you don't think there's any deals left, you gotta watch every video we send you this month. And I'm hoping you can fly back and forth and get some videos done. But lastly, on that side, be ready for that. But secondly, spend this week just worrying about you. I know I've been talking about this a lot, but I've watched somebody like you, Matt. I've watched you transform in such a positive way because money allows you to Be the best person you can be. Right. You get to have time to explore, read personal development or whatever it is that makes you feel better. And I've just watched you evolve, and it's been a really great journey watching, you know, and I think money was probably your main focus, but I think all the byproducts of your money has helped you be a better person.

Oh, yeah, no doubt. You know, and something else that you told me along those lines early on, you don't even probably remember telling me this. This was probably in 2008 when I first met you, and I must have been complaining about something. But you're like, you know what? Just put your head down and start digging. You just dig. Don't even look up. Just keep digging and digging, digging, digging, and you'll get those deals coming in. Stop looking up. So I think when sometimes people look around like, oh, what's he doing? Or what's that person? You spent too much time looking up. Just put your head down and start digging.

Yeah, I remember saying that to you. See, that's why Matt's successful from exactly that one moment. No, I'm just kidding. Great job, man. Well, listen, make sure you keep watching this week. We're going to have some good messages. Of course. I'll be so much in your head. And Matt's going to be all about the real estate. So we can make this a fun month of learning how to find deals. Find the money, make it happen for you. So 2015 is your year. This is the time stock market money is flying into real estate, private money, more than ever before. People are dying to give you money. Just need to find the deals, become the conduit, and let's make this year amazing. I'm Dean Graziosi. We'll talk to you next week.
