Jake Burhans says don't count profits until the payment hits your bank account. Contract revisions, delays, and deal fallout happen between signing and getting paid, so celebrating early sets you up for disappointment.

One thing I've started to do that's honestly saved me a ton of heartache is just waiting until a deal is actually closed and the money is in your account before you start calculating how much you're gonna make. Because there's so many things that can go on from the time that it's under contract to the time that it actually hits the bank account, that's not even worth looking into what you're gonna make until you see that number in your bank account.
