Weekly Video Blog #117 - If You're Watching You're Qualified

Hi, this is Dean Graziosi, and welcome to this week's blog. If you're new to this site, I want to say welcome. You're going to find a great deal of information and great people, people helping people down both sides. You can see places you can click and expand your knowledge, your wisdom, your information. You can watch these blogs. I've been doing them week after week for over two years now, hopefully sharing great wisdom and direction to get you on track and get you out there making money. If you have been watching these blogs, you know, the last couple weeks, we've been doing the new Send Me Away contest. The new winner, the 2010 winner. We've been going to pick them. You guys chose. And today I'm going to let you know who the winners are, plus share some good information like I hope to always do for you guys. I thought that was pretty cool. Last week, David Bach and Mark Victor Hanson. David Bach, Automatic Millionaire and all kinds of other great books. And Mark Victor Hanson, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, One Minute Millionaire. Lots of great books. Good guys. But today I want to first, I want to say, and I'm sorry, I'm going to build a little anticipation who the winners are. First of all, I want to say thank you to everybody who watched all the videos and voted for our students. It's a big deal to them and I know you guys could be too busy and have too much going on and say, I'm not going to watch it. But to all of you who voted, thank you so much. Another thing I want to say, we had more votes this year than ever before in history. And one other thing, it was the closest race than we've ever had. Again, if you're new to this site, what it is is our students, we're having success and change your life, send in their home videos. Our staff narrows it down to five or six, and then we let you guys vote who the winner is. The winner not only gets an amazing vacation, they get to be my partner and use my money to buy a deal. So in a second or at the end of this blog, I'm going to tell you who those winners are. But right now, I just want to share one thing. If you've been on dean graziosi.com for years or a week or maybe this is your first day you're here right now. What I want to say is these people that sent in their videos and if you didn't see, you can watch the blog of two weeks ago, not last week, and see the Entries of the finalists. You know, they weren't born under a lucky star. They don't have an easier way in life. They didn't have a gazillion dollars or just everything go their way. I'm sure they had their heap of problems. I'm sure they had people tell them they were nuts. Especially when they maybe got involved in our success academy and spent money to be a part of it and paid for wisdom and information. People probably told them they were crazy when they first called the first deal they wanted to do or call the realtor to get a realtor on track. They probably messed up and felt like they ruined the deal when maybe they were just getting the bugs out. So what I want to say is every single person watching this right now has the same opportunity all the people that send in their videos with all the success have. You know, I'm in Strategic Coach, which I share with you. It's a high level brainstorm that I go to a mentor group that I go to help me be a better entrepreneur, a better businessman, a better teacher, like what I'm trying to do right now. And the one thing Dan Sullivan, the founder of Strategic Coach, always shares is the R factor question. And the R factor question is instead of looking at your goals, forward, fast forward one year. And if you were looking back, right, instead of looking forward what you want, you kind of come over here and look back for a year and said, if this was the most amazing year, what had to happen? And it's really easy to set goals. So think about all the students who sent in their videos when they first ordered my book. They were probably just like you, nervous in the middle of the night. Can I do this? I don't know real estate. I don't have much money or I have no money. I have bad credit. Is this guy an infomercial scam artist or is he the real deal? All those questions were bouncing around. They got the book. Could they fit in time? Could they really do it? How to make the calls, how to start with day one, how to get rejected, how to get turned down. But guess what? After six months or a year or however long it took them, they got to be here on a video sharing their success. And you know what I know about everybody on those videos. They're smiling, their confidence is up, their chests are puffed out. They feel proud of what they've accomplished. And I want you to feel proud. I'm going to be here doing these videos every single week until I get everybody who wants to make a difference in their life. Make that change again. I can't help you if you don't take action. You know, if you read my books and don't do anything, you might say, ah, this stuff doesn't work. But I want to ask you, make sure you put my strategies into play before you dare say they don't work. Our strategies work. They work better than anybody else's strategies on the planet. I could say that confidently. So I just want to share with you that every single person watching right now can do what all my contestants did that were in the send me away contest. And all my successful students from years past to new ones coming, I want to say congratulations to those who achieved it. And. And also for those of you who aren't there yet, I want you to say, don't dare give up on yourself. We'll be here every single week sharing wisdom and knowledge. If you need a question answered, call our hotline or ask it right here on this page. Okay, so I feel like I'm delaying. I'm really not. I'm just trying to give a little lesson, a little inspiration because I want you next. And I have a great message for next week. So don't you dare miss next week's blog. I'd like to bring it up today. It's on the edge of my tongue, but it's been long enough. So let's. Drum roll, please. The winner of this year's stories of success send me away contest. Get to be my partner. Use dean's money. The winner is. John Wakefield. John, congratulations. Great video, great success. I guess we're going to be partners. So Megan will contact you and let you know about all the details. And let me tell you the two runner ups now here's something really wild. The runner ups, with all the votes that came in second and third place was literally determined by like two votes. How funny is that? So, Tiare and Spencer Walker. I hope I said your name right. Tiare. Or maybe Tiara. Not sure, sorry. I hope I said your name right. Congratulations on second place. We got some cool things for you guys too. I think you're going to really like it.
