Let people know what you are doing

I have had to reprogram my way of thinking.  Before, I didn't really talk to people, just did my job and that was it.  I have a long ways to go but my goal is to talk to at least one new person a day and let them know what I am doing.  

"Hi, my name is Jarod.  ...convo convo convo...  "I invest in properties and working my way to financial freedom"

Not everyone I've talked to is interested but the ones who are end of giving me tips or say they will let me know when something comes their way.

Just today I told someone at work what I was doing.  She said, "Oooohhhh, I am a Zillow junkie!!  What exactly are you looking for cause I spend at least 1-2 hours a day looking at properties."   I gave her my list and even told her if I close on a lead she provided I'll throw her $100.  She is on it!

It is amazing what happens when you share your passion!

@Jarod Castaneda Incredible story - once the deal goes through, I'd love to read a blog post by you that expounds on everything you said above.  Such a critical lesson to teach new folks about how to get out of your comfort zone to begin living your dream.

Best of luck!
