Have you read Tim Ferriss’ bestseller, The 4 Hour Work Week”? If you have not then you need to RUN and go get this book. You are a bit behind…but it’s never too late to educate yourself. If you have indeed read the book, can you imagine applying the principles of the 4 Hour Work Week to the real estate industry?

Seriously, can you imagine doubling or tripling your income while working under 10 hours per week? Well the Real Estate CEO will show you how.

It’s funny to me when I read so much fodder in the real estate blogosphere about how the market is bad and how many agents can’t make ends meet. Last week it was reported by Inman News that 20% or more of licensed agents were leaving the business altogether. Today Inman featured an article about agents taking 2 and even 3 jobs to make ends meet. Oh my God…are you kidding me!

I realize that agents may be the most skeptical bunch on the planet, but if there was a way for you to work less than 10 hours per week in real estate while doubling or even tripling your income at the same time would you not want to find out just how it’s done?

I mean, if there was a way for you to move 4-10 deals per month, in any market, and you would NEVER have to prospect for a listing, never have to hold an open house, no cold calling EVER, no postcards, never have to speak with a Seller again, and have all the buyers you could possibly handle…would that be of interest to you?

Seriously, think about it without being skeptical. Understand you are at the precipice of a new era in real estate and it’s time to look at this business with an open mind. Of course, if you are satisfied with your current income, and the time you spend on generating said income then this post and information are going to be of no interest to you.

I read a couple of posts on Bloodhound Blog in the last couple of days and some of the authors there were promoting cold calling and door knocking and I just about threw up on my keyboard! Why? Especially here in Florida. Why would, as the author said, make 400 phone calls or spend my days in the hot Florida sun knocking on doors?

Hey…if it works for him, hooray. I’d rather be on the boat fishing or in the Bahamas playing poker checking my email once in a while and receiving notifications that my deals closed and that the money has been wired into my account.

I tell people all the time how we do business and they just can’t get it. Our most recent closing went something like this:

1. Buyer responds to one or more various opt-in forms on one of a hundred locations where the line is dangling in the water

2. Buyer opts-in to a foreclosure search system and finds the property he is interested in.

3. Buyer sends an email ASKING for a showing

4. A subcontracted hungry agent shows the property for us

5. He wants to put an offer in and all of the paperwork is transmitted via email from Buyer to listing agent

6. Offer is accepted and paper work sent to transaction coordinator with additional cc copies to virtual assistant and attorney / title company

7. We get email updates on the file as they are warranted.

8. We get notification of clear to close.

9. Deal closes

10. I am in the Cayman’s on a dive trip with my wife and we get an email from the attorney that the wire transfer has hit the account.

Rinse and repeat…….THIS is what being a Real Estate CEO is all about. Did I mention that I NEVER even saw the property, never even went to closing, never even saw the contract or file, never met or spoke to the listing agent, never did any negotiating or hand holding with a Seller…did I mention that this happens 4-10 times PER MONTH in our office?

So you’re thinking this can’t be true. No way. Barry’s full of crap. Think so or do you just hope so. Hoping so because you just can’t believe that the system has been gamed by an outsider? Well relax, all we did is apply the rules of true arbitrage to real estate and in doing so put together a well oiled machine of an operation wherein we don’t have to do anything but keep the beast fed.

My job is to keep the fire stoked…all we do is let everyone else do the cooking. You know..like a true entrepreneur…a true CEO.

Andrew Carnegie once said, “People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.”

Are you impressed with the mediocrity in the real estate industry? Are you content with your current motivation and the results that you are obtaining for your efforts? If you are then the Real Estate CEO program isn’t for you.

However, if you know deep inside that there is so much more that you could achieve, so much more that you want, if only someone would truly show you how you can enjoy your business and experience the rewards of abundant success, then I urge you to check out this video .

Many people will be naysayers and when you hear them, ask them what are they doing to better themselves, what systems do they have in place, how many hours per week are they working…have they succumbed to a second or third job? Look around you. Are you seeing people thrive in the current real estate market? If not then you MUST ask yourself why!

John d. Rockefeller once said famously that “The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets.”

It’s a very simple thing. These are the times when the next millionaires will be made. I’m not saying that you have to make a million to be happy. Making $10,000.00 per month might make you happy. Making $20,000.00 a month might make you happy.

It all depends upon your motivation level…and your system. So this thousand word post boils down to one simple yes or no question.

Are you CONTENT to exist with your current level of production, and your current level of financial reward, working the hours that you are working?

Stand up, go look yourself in the mirror and look yourself in the face and answer that one simple question.

If the answer is as I believe it will be, then I urge you to watch this video and take the steps to break the chains of mediocrity.
