Hi Gerald,

I am consistently inspired by your blog and articles.

My goal is to close 3 real estate deals by Labor Day with a profit of $30,000.

Thanks for the nudge,

John, like you I believe physical health is very important and better health can lead to more wealth.

Terry is a good friend of mine and we give each other a hard time constantly. But behind the jokes we’re both very supportive of each other and use competition as a means of pushing ourself personally and professionally.

In fact, if it were not for my workout partner, Denny, I would not be in good shape at all. Denny and I schedule our workouts because we know without the commitment to meet at the gym we would find a reason not to work out.

I encourage everyone to have friends support them in business and personal success. Men use friendly competition to push each other and women use the “bonding” as a healthy way to push towards their goals.

Stan, don’t downplay your goals! Everything is relative to who you are and what YOU want to accomplish. You’re running your own race so do not feel that your goals are small or “not much”!

The most recent US Census data is for 2006 and shows the average US Household income was $48,201 and the median income per household member (including all working and non-working members above the age of 14) was $26,036.

So your goal of 10K per month is over 5 times the median income per household member and more than double the average US household income!

Now Stan I want you to go out and make your goals happen then report to us the results.

Gerald, great post! Whether in real estate investing or any business you’ve got to take action. Also, I believe there’s a direct link to being in shape and being successful.

I’ve recently been getting in bette shape myself. It feels great to be fit. I’m still working hard on it. I know you’ll hit your goals. But you better beat Terry, I don’t think you’ll live it down if you don’t!

Arthur – I like your style. If you have not already put together a plan so that you can work on daily. Doing just a few things consistently and every day is more important than trying to do everything at once.

We’ll just have to make a wager for the contest. I’m not sure what would be a fair wager though. I’m open to suggestions.

You are on my friend – I do not recall you having too much trouble ripping off your shirt though in the meeting.

Not that I ever want to see that again mind you.

I am in the game – and plan to win. To your point about it being like the Real Estate Investing Game – You better believe it.

All too often we just stand at the edge of the pool and stick our toes in the water – instead of jumping in and going for it.

Hey – that is why I started the Fire Your Boss In 90 Days or Less Challenge that you are helping train on again.

To get off the edge and jump on in.

I will wait for you at the end of the Finish Line of this challenge though my friend
