Dean Graziosi delivers a Thanksgiving weekly video blog expressing gratitude for birthday messages, announces a scholarship winner (Alex Rodriguez), urges members of his online community to continue supporting one another and to give back as they succeed, offers encouragement to viewers struggling in a difficult economy, and notes he is about a week away from finishing a new book.
Hi, this is Dean Graziosi. I'm doing a very special and early weekly blog this week because I wanted to wish you a very happy and healthy and safe Thanksgiving for you and your family. I want to touch a couple of things. I don't want to keep talking about my birthday, but I do have to say thank you for all the amazing cards that you guys sent, the amazing post that you did here, emails that we got, some of you did video. It's really touching. It's really affected me in a positive way. And I can't thank you enough. And you have my commitment that I will never stop doing all I can to get you inspired, to get you to take action and to get you reaching the results that you desire for you and your family. Okay, couple of things. We gave away the scholarship, which was unbelievable and awesome. Alex Rodriguez, not the shortstop for the New York Yankees, but a young man from, I think Boston won the scholarship. I let my team handle it. There was a panel of five of them. They read every single, single one, every single application that came in, they read all of them. But unfortunately we could only pick one. And you know, I read a post from Rena this morning saying, you know, you're going to be under the watchful eye now to see if you have success. And I think they chose really well. And Alex, I'm looking forward to you being a part of our success academy. I'm looking forward to your results. I'm looking forward to you make a big difference in your life and inspiring others and just keep this momentum going@demangraziosi.com I want you to be out there sharing. Listen, we created an environment here, here at this site of people helping people on a massive scale. There's nothing else out there like this site. And you know, I'm glad that I was the catalyst. I'm glad I could start it. I'm glad I could do these blogs and be on tv. But you are the ones that are helped taking this site to the next level. And I don't want you to get, you know, when you start making money and you're busy, I don't want you to forget about this site because remember, on the way up, the people you pass on the way up are the ones that got you there. Don't ever forget them. I try never to. So don't get so busy with your real estate deals and start making money that you don't come back to this site and share your wisdom and knowledge because the more you give, somebody taps you on the back and hands you more. We know that's the way the world goes around. If you're Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, or you're New age or whatever, you believe in karma, you know, what you put out there comes back to you. And that's what this site is all about. So I wanted to say happy Thanksgiving. I wanted to say thank you for all the birthday gifts. I wanted to congratulate Alex Rodriguez. We're going to be getting ahold of you shortly, if we haven't already. And lastly, I want to say Happy Thanksgiving again. And, you know, isn't Thanksgiving a great time to give thanks? You know, I know in this economy and what the country is going through right now, there's a lot of you watching right now that are suffering, having really hard times, wondering if you can ever make money with real estate or if it's just a dream. Am I just on this site excited? But it really can't happen for me. Or someday am I. Or someday am I going to be the Rena, the Matt Larson? You know, so many other people on here making money, Anita, all these great people. I want to tell you something. Don't give up hope. I know things can be tough and if you're ever down and out and you can head towards depression, believe me, I fought it a lot in my childhood. And I understand how it feels when you just feel like the world is on your shoulders and there's no way out. I want you to do something. And Thanksgiving is a good time to remember, give thanks, try to find gratitude for the things in your life that are good things, that you've accomplished things, because we all can be grateful for something if we just take a little time. You know, if nothing else, be grateful that you're here. Be grateful that I care about you. Be grateful that people on this site care about you. And be grateful for the fact that you found a way that you could make money. Stay positive, stay inspired, and take one step at a time. Be grateful. Because all I know is, yeah, this is a tough time in the economy. It's a tough time in the universe. It's a tough time in the world. But listen, you're still you. You're still here breathing and living, and that means we can have a greater tomorrow compared to what our yesterday was. I want everybody on this site to realize you can have a bigger future no matter what your past circumstances are. And I'm going to do everything in my power to keep you inspired to get there, give you the wisdom and techniques to learn and apply. And one last thing. I've been going night and day. I'm only about a week away from finishing my brand new book. It's taken a little longer than I thought, but it is awesome. Unbelievable. I'm really proud of it. I can't wait to release it. Okay, this blog was way too long. You guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'll talk to you next week.
