Okay, I Gotta Know...Who Are You?

Thursday, October 22

I just have to know, who are you...really? 

It seems people always wear masks, afraid to show their real selves.  Afraid to actually be discovered for who they really are.  Or, as the case may be in real estate investing circles...afraid for their real agenda to be discoved.  

All I want is honest. Full Disclosure. Integrity.  Why is that so hard to get to when there are deals with so much money on the line?  Wouldn't you agree that there is virtually nothing more stomach curdling than someone posing as a mentor, guide, educator or teacher...when all they are really after is your wallet?

Now, don't get me wrong. I love and value education. I am one of those who spends a small fortune on educating myself and investing in state of the art systems to enhance my business.  But I want to know UP FRONT if that is your business. Please don't masquerade as a "fellow investor" when what you really are is an internet marketer!

If your forte is internet marketing, then be the guru of THAT. Don't pretend you are the guru of investing when you haven't personally negotiated a deal in years.  Go ahead and make a few millions on your product launch and stream it out to all your affiliate armies to help you. But please, stop the pretending that you are right there in the trenches with us. Stop painting false images that only end up deflating the newbie investors. 

I know what I propose as a marketing strategy may not be ideal for marketing dollars, but it is ideal for your soul. And what is the cost of that? Well, it's like that old Mastercard  commercial says: PRICELESS.

Now I have laid it all out there. Maybe I have ignited some new enemies or rallied some supporters.  What I most want to do is let you know who I am. I am an investor...and I am a capitalist. Fortunately, successful at both.  I am successful because my investments are businesses in which I have educated myself and systemized.  I network for deals.  That is why I am on this forum.  That is why I blog. 

I you want to do deals, I want to do business with you.  The more of us that succeed the better we do.  The more I teach the more I learn. I do have people contacting me regualrly for advice...but I prosper on my deals.

So who are YOU?  If you have deal...not a device...then let's do business!! My website is http://VestorLink.com, if you care to learn more about me.

May we all be well and prosper--at whatever we do best!
