Hey, everybody, it's Dean. Welcome to this week's blog. Hey. Last week's blog was something magical. I'm extremely excited. You know, I was traveling over the Midwest looking for houses that we're gonna bring, bringing to our students and buying for myself and Matt Larson and so many of my other students are buying these great deals that we're finding. And while we were in the Midwest, if you watched last week's blog, you know, you couldn't help to see the news and see the tragedy that happened in Joplin. And I wanted to do my part and I wanted you to help. So in your honor, for everything you guys did from all the Facebook, like, unbelievable from everybody clicking and watching the video, over 14,000 people watch the video. I think we're over 650, maybe close to 700 posts. This is the biggest blog as far as posts and likes on Facebook that we've ever had. Because each of you wanted to help contribute, to give back. And isn't that what America is all about? It's about helping the people when they're down. And isn't that what life's all about? You know, so many times in life, we all, everybody watching this is going through something that they don't like, something that is tough, something that you wish would go away. But here's the thing, and I've shared this before, it's not so much can we get rid of the problems in our life, but how quick can we bounce back now the people in Joplin have to bounce back from a really horrible tragedy. Some people lost loved ones, they lost their house, they lost everything they had. And it's going to be hard to bounce back. But with our support, with the whole country's support, and even you, no matter what you're going through, it's not so much that you're never going to have a problem or a tragedy or an obstacle again, it's how do you bounce back? How do you find the encouragement no matter how hard it is to go to the next level, if you lost your job, how do you bounce back? If you tried five real estate deals and it didn't work, how do you bounce back? And that bounce back rate, the shorter we can make the bounce back rate, the quicker we could learn from that mistake. We or try to avoid those feelings or problems in the future and go on to the life we deserve. And I want to tell you again, with the amount of clicks and the support and the incredible, I've read every single one of the posts you guys done, and I want to say so here's the numbers right in front of me. We are going to donate from the clicks. This is you guys doing. It's my money, but with your help. Between the gross hit, the gross views of this video, last week's video, the likes on Facebook, the post that you put below, we are donating $23,833. But here's another thing. I don't know if you remember, last week I told Matt Larson, if we broke 20 grand, if you guys went out there and shared it and did what you did, if we went over 20,000, he'd donate five. So our grand total is $28,833 that we're going to give and we're going through right now. We might give it to the local chapter of the Red Cross right there in Joplin. We investigating some families. In fact, if you have a great idea of where we could put that money, we're narrowing it down. It's going to go literally next week. We're not pushing this off, but if you watch this video and you have an idea or place that you think the money should go, remember, $28,833. Hey, it's my money, some of Matt's money. But we did it because you guys got out there, shared it, hit the likes and continue to do that. We hope to inspire, change people's lives. I think being a part of this DG family is bigger than something I ever dreamed of when I started this site and started teaching people. And I love being here. I love my family. I love the inspiration. Remember, the other thing, too, is in your own personal life, tough things happen, but it's not that tough things are going to ever stop happening. It's how we bounce back. It's how we learn from them and how we look forward. Because if we stare at our rear view mirror, always looking at the tragedies of our past, a lot of times all we do is repeat them in the future. Try to learn from the past and, and look ahead for where we can go. I'm Dean Graziosi. Thanks for being a part of this. We've got some more great stuff coming. In fact, over the next two months, some amazing stuff that's gonna blow your mind. Some of the best things I have ever put together for my students are coming your way. Stay excited, get out there and start making money. I'll talk to you next week.
