A Simple Plan for Starting a Business

A simple step-by-step process to change your life, increase your income and create a wildly successful business.

This article provides a 'how-its-done' look to maximize your results.
(by Steve Majors - The Lazy Investor)

---

Starting a business, whether it is a 'small business' where you work out of an office or a 'home based business' you run out of a corner of your bedroom, you can drastically change your life through a very simple plan.

Starting a business is not something you jump into. When you are working a simple plan, starting a business is something you GROW into.

How do you make a simple plan for growth when starting a business?

1. Groundwork of your simple plan is crucial.

Find someone that was successful in starting a business in your industry, watch them, interview them, find out everything you can about what they did when they were starting a business. Then, write a simple plan outlining what they do all day.

In order to have what they have, you must do what they do, so find out what ercentage of their day is spent, for instance, on the telephone making calls, receiving calls and the type of calls.

2. Divide your time.

The next step in your simple plan as you are starting a business is to divide your time like your mentor. Use the same percentage of the total hours, as you will not work the same hours they do.

The 'secret to success' is not in the hours, it is how you spend them! By following the simple plan outlined here, you make the most of your hours, and get the most out of everything as you are starting a business with a simple plan of success.

3. Set your Goals.

A vital piece of success when starting a business is that you have a goal in mind and work your simple plan to get there.

Without a destination (a specific income amount, a personal item like a car or boat, or simply an amount set aside in savings), how will you know you arrived?

4. Track your progress.

Divide your goal into days, weeks, months and/or years to quickly know what is required to reach your destination.

Check your progress often. You will know quickly if you are sticking to your original goal or if you are ahead or behind schedule.

Just like a road trip, as you are starting a business, you will likely come across some detours, that's OK. On vacation, just as in starting a business, if you find a road blocked or a path impassible, you simply find another way.

And, just as on vacation, include in your simple plan a few hours here/there for such 'emergencies'. If you find you have no emergencies, simply choose something else that will get you closer to your destination, or just relax and enjoy where you are.

5. Work ON your business, not only IN your business.

In starting a business, you must set aside part of your time to plan, set goals, promote and advertise your business, not simply work along in your business, doing the things you do.

When starting a business, a simple form of advertising is a website. The more people that see what you have to offer, the quicker your business will grow.

You could go door-to-door, telling everyone about your website (not a simple plan!), or maximize your time by posting articles online where many people see them.

This is overlooked by many as they are starting a business, and
one of the reasons they fail...

As your business grows, you will do less advertising and begin to work your simple plan toward the 'IN your business' phase.

6. Give excellent Customer Service.

Upset customers kill more business than you can imagine. Find a way to work with them, or simply give them their money back. Losing customers is something you cannot afford when you are just starting a business!

So many people simply do not make the time to provide quality service to their customers. Do not let that happen to you!

With a little planning and goal setting, follow through each week and simply repeating the process, you can change your business from flat to cash in a short amount of time.

When starting a business, if you follow the simple plan we have
outlined here, you are already a success!

A FIST FIGHT in Real Estate Investing?

******************************************************
*** Get Your Share of Discount Properties ***
http://TheLazyInvestor.com/BankDump.html
*** 50% ARV or Below! Full Team in Place ***
******************************************************

Yesterday, Scott Hendel (my main team member that is
right now working the HOTTEST deals I've ever seen),
called me with some really interesting news...

Of course, we talked about the deals;

- how the banks are DUMPING properties to
get them off their books,

- how AMAZING it is that we are all able to
purchase this selected block of 'minor fixers' at
HUGE DISCOUNTS and

- how investors taking action before Thursday, the 6th
will get the ABSOLUTE BEST DEALS you've ever seen...

Of course, I'm VERY EXCITED about the opportunity to
pick up property in a growing area with a stable economy at
WAY BELOW MARKET VALUE...
http://TheLazyInvestor.com/BankDump.html

But, that was a tiny piece of it!

What really blew me away was the bit about an ANGRY
SEASONED LOCAL INVESTOR that found out we were in town
- and he CAME TO THE OFFICE, READY TO FIGHT!

Yes, he was VERY UPSET that we were picking up these
properties at such a big discount for you!

So upset, it nearly came to fist-a-cuffs!

You see, he was upset because HE had put in
a bid on the property but WE got it for one of my students!

He said "This house is in a fast growing rebirth area and
will be worth $100K in a couple years!" (My student will
get it for around $25K!)

Yes, he was upset, and this act of aggression show just how
the competition on getting these houses is picking up!
http://TheLazyInvestor.com/BankDump.html

Time IS running out and there's only a couple days left!
http://TheLazyInvestor.com/BankDump.html

We MUST CLOSE on these BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!
http://TheLazyInvestor.com/BankDump.html

It takes around 15 days to close, and with weekends, etc. -
funds must be IN ESCROW BY THIS FRIDAY to guarantee the
best deals! http://TheLazyInvestor.com/BankDump.html

There is NO TIME TO DELAY!
http://TheLazyInvestor.com/BankDump.html

NOW is the time for action to get these SUPER-DISCOUNTED
deals (at 50% ARV or below!!!)
http://TheLazyInvestor.com/BankDump.html

Call me if you have last-second questions...

But, the RIGHT THING TO DO is to TAKE ACTION!
http://TheLazyInvestor.com/BankDump.html

By the end of the year, the banks will not be as ready to
take these super low-ball offers and you will lose your
ability to get in at this super-discounted level!
http://TheLazyInvestor.com/BankDump.html

At any rate, there are only a few properties available and
the competition is getting fierce!

Take action NOW to get yours!

Happy Investing,

"Everything you knew about mortgages changed in 90 days... "

Foreclosures are great, but they take CA$H to work the deals!

And, part of that is knowing your credit score, your true CA$H position (you likely have more than you know!) and your REAL equity position (another 'hidden' cash cow!)

To top it all off...

"Everything you knew about mortgages changed in 90 days... "
(I know, I just said that - it is THAT important to you!)

Know your financial situation to take advantage of the BEST deals quickly, yet understanding what has happened in the mortgage (aka MONEY) markets are crucial to your business!

I recently had a phone call with one of the most informed, creative and knowledgeable mortgage brokers I've ever had the pleasure to meet.

This young man has over 8 years of hard-earned experience in doing what it takes to make loans happen for investors and end buyers all over the country, whatever your score or current situation.

In just under 50 minutes, he covered massive amounts of information about money, loans and credit establishment, maintenance and use, plus insider info on what it takes to get into a mortgage today.

He shares private research he's done over the last couple weeks to inform you of just how things get done in today's marketplace.

This call covers everything...

...and, you need to know this stuff!

(Note, there is NO CHARGE for this one - I'm off to Australia and you need to get your finances in order, cause when I get back, I've got a HUGE plan to get you some deals cooking FAST!)

WOW!

Foreclosure, Foreclosure, Foreclosure and (you guessed it...) Foreclosure!

That's all you hear about now...

[Read More!]

Investing in Foreclosures is not my favorite way to do real estate investing - never has been and it is not likely that I will change my mind soon...

But, let's face it....

Times Are Changing And Your Investing Tactics MUST Change With Them!

[Read More!]

TIP #1

There are several tried and true methods to uncover sellers who will literally beg you to take their house. They all boil down to finding a seller whose situation has changed.

For various reasons (such as divorce, death or job conditions), they need to get out from under their home fast. You can often buy these homes for pennies on the dollar, then turn around and sell the property at a much higher market value. That translates into BIG real estate profits for you.

The 'trick' is in finding these sellers. Be paitent and keep looking - they are out there and the rewards are well worth it!

 

TIP #2

Your rehab project may suffer delays and lost profits due to simple things like a rise in gasoline prices, which adds to the cost of materials delivered by truck to your local lumberyard or home improvement store. A few cents per gallon at the gas pump can be enough to erase your potential profits while you work to rehab and "flip" a property.

Take care to calculate into your rehab cost a 'fudge factor' to include funds for such 'emergencies'. A good rule of thumb is to multiply your estimated rehab costs by .2 (20%) and add that to the estimated cost when you are analyzing a potential project.

If this small addition kills the deal for you, it is probably best to move on to another deal.

 

TIP #3

Never pay off your mortgage!

As a real estate investor, mortgages are good and not a "necessary evil". You must learn why this is true and how, in the right situation, a second or even a third mortgage can be a good thing.

Mortgages are one of the primary keys to creating wealth through real estate.

Learn how to use financing as one of the keys to create your own financial estate, without concern for it being "risky" and you will see your profits soar!

 

TIP #4

In every real estate investing deal A LOT of money is changing hands, so you'll need professional contracts that keep you out of trouble and keep your customers happy. There are standardized contracts you can use that cover all the bases.

You also need to organize and structure your business like any other, and there are very smart ways to do that, while maximizing your profits and minimizing risk using proper asset protection and entity structuring methods.

 

Traditional real estate investing calls for certain qualities, such as a good credit record, a sound financial position, an appreciable income, bundles of dollars for a down payment, and smart lenders by your side. Creative real estate investing provides more flexibility, yet requires more knowledge of how real estate deals are put together. Always seek the advice of others who have gone before you on how to accomplish this with less effort on your part.

 

TIP #5

All too often real estate investors feel that "A better deal may be just around the corner" and never starts his or her real estate program because they always hope a better deal may be out there somewhere if they just wait...and wait...and wait.

Real estate investing deals do not come knocking on your door and there will always be another one out there! You can only take advantage of one at a time anyway, and the good ones will come to you more often as you have more practice.

Take action and get out there!

 

TIP #6

When you buy the debt that finances real estate, you participate without having to roll up your sleeves and deal with the nitty-gritty details of rehab work as well as avoid the hassles of dealing with renters and all the other less-than-desirable aspects of real estate.

Those who invest in the loans that fuel projects will always be in demand, as long as there is a market for buying and selling property. And, that is likely to be around for a long time!

Become the bank - that is where the money is!

 

TIP #7

Before you purchase that first real estate property, think about what you expect from your investments, just what are your overall financial goals?

Be sure to analyze the profitability of the investment carefully before getting started in any real estate transaction. If the investment returns do not meet your expectations, go on to the next one.

Real Estate success is based on solid decisions rooted on fact and financial analysis, nothing else. You must learn to take the emotion out of the deal and simply buy and sell because the deal is right for you as it meets your long term goals.

 

TIP #8

Once you begin your real estate career, you'll wonder why you waited so long to begin. Do not allow yourself to become complacent!

Many investors fall in love with their real estate once they see how well it is doing. When cash flow has been going well each year, they fall in love with their tenants or at least get so friendly with them that they do not maintain rental standards that keep the price where the market will bear.

Or, they see how appreciation has worked its course and fail to watch for signs of falling prices because they want to sell only at the highest price (yes, they get greedy...)

Never fool yourself into thinking your property is doing too well to sell or trade up because your cash flow is considerably higher than when you purchased the property or that the appreciation swing will never end. It always does and you as a real estate investor have to pay attention to it.

 

TIP #9

Many real estate investors continually try to purchase investment properties that are not really on the market. What I mean by that is the property owners have the attitude of "Sure, my property is for sale... for a price". Unfortunately, 'for a price' usually means it will make no financial sense for an investor.

Be sure to analyze the real estate for its true value and work only with truly motivated sellers that are willing to work within parameters that allow you to make a profit for the time, money and effort you put into it.

 

TIP #10

Never fall into the trap of thinking that you will get rich quick in real estate. Getting rich overnight will not happen regardless of what some of the so called "experts" tell you. Real Estate takes some time, effort and knowledge to do it with minimum financial risk.

Remember that YOU can do it, too! You can join the millions of investors who create sizable incomes through real estate investing, you simply must understand that it is not an overnight process and stick with it!

 

Above all, do not be afraid of real estate investing. Thousands of every day people succeed admirably in this industry every year.
